When he saw Rong Xiaozhen again, Ding Nan couldn't help but sigh in his heart. It seemed that the words " time is merciless " weren't meant for everyone. Time was very fickle to most people, but it favored some people, such as Rong Xiaozhen. He was a man in his thirties. After not seeing him for a few years, he had become even younger. With his black-rimmed glasses, he looked like a second-year male in his twenties.
Before this, when the two of them chatted on QQ, they had already sighed. First, Rong Xiaozhen lamented that things remained the same and people had changed. She said that they were both editors when they met. Then, they each looked for a future. She went to graduate school and he started a company to earn money. Then, after a period of scattered days, as if they had the same destination, both of them thought of online shopping. In a more elegant and modern way, it was e-commerce. They both felt that this was an opportunity. At least it was a tool to make money. And feelings were still there.
Rong Xiaozhen added that after doing online shopping for a few years, he had become more and more proficient in the business. Now, he had moved from Taobao to Patting, and was about to move to Jingdong. He had already applied to enter Jingdong and was only waiting for the review. However, everything had its pros and cons. In the past few years, his temper had become worse and worse. He was extremely irritable and uneasy. His employees had been scolded away by him in less than two months. Therefore, the turnover of his employees was particularly high. There were less than five people in total. However, more than a dozen people could come and go in a year. The employees who were both a sore spot and a weakness had almost paralyzed his online store.
Now, it seemed that they were going to reach the same goal.
At that time, Ding Nan recalled that after Li Shi left, he had to bear the rent of the two-bedroom apartment alone, as well as the living expenses and children's education expenses. He was already overwhelmed. His salary was already pitifully low, and his savings were almost gone in the past six months. Therefore, he had fantasized. He thought that employees were employees after all, and friends were friends after all. He would not lose his temper at his friends. Now that Jingdong was popular, perhaps if he worked with him, they could both survive. He said half-jokingly and half-seriously,"Why don't we work together? How is it?" She never thought that she would come up with that sentence: Friends could only maintain a relationship at a distance. If they got too close, it was easy to lose their friendship. Of course, there was no medicine for regret in this world.
At that time, Rong Xiaozhen was overjoyed. Although Ding Nan could not see his expression through the screen and the actual distance, she could feel his mood from the message he sent. The two of them chatted on QQ again and decided to meet again.
Therefore, on that sunny Saturday morning, Ding Nan switched from public transport to subway, subway to city rail, and city rail to public transport. After a series of twists and turns, he finally arrived at the office in a small town in Tongzhou that Rong Xiaozhen had bought a few years ago for business purposes. She looked around carefully. The blue partition divided the hall into six separate spaces. In each space, there was a computer desk, a computer, a telephone, and a chair neatly arranged. It looked like four people were working, and two seats were empty. The kitchen and bathroom doors were tightly shut. The huge balcony had been transformed into Rong Xiaozhen's office. The long red sofa was placed close to the bright floor-to-ceiling window, and the wall connected to the living room had a stylish boss table and chair.
After greeting everyone with a smile and a nod, she sat on Rong Xiaozhen's red couch and listened to him introduce the online stores that he had set up at the same time. Later, Rong Xiaozhen drove her out for lunch. Later on, he was like a second-year boy, wearing black-rimmed glasses and sitting opposite her in an intellectual manner.
At that moment, Ding Nan came back to his senses from the feeling of Rong Xiaozhen's " age ". As he flipped through the menu, he said in unison,""You're getting younger and younger. A man was a man. He did not need to worry about housework or children. He was born with a good life. You're even better off. You have so much freedom and freedom alone. It's really enviable!”
Rong Xiaozhen pushed the frame of his glasses and said in a nasal voice,""Aren't all men the ones who support the family? How could a man be less stressed than a woman? I just happen to not have a home. Speaking of which, my family introduced me to a girlfriend. My old family is currently living in Yanjiao. She has her own house and is an accountant for a foreign company. She is also divorced and the child belongs to the man. I think I've been single for a few years. I just got to know him and want to go everywhere.”
Ding Nan wrote down two dishes on the menu and pushed them to Rong Xiaozhen." Oh?”She raised her head and said,"I realized that you like to look for your hometown."”
Rong Xiaozhen took the menu and looked at it. He also wrote down the dishes he wanted on the menu and waved for the waiter to take them away. He chuckled and said,""Yeah, we know each other very well. Don't worry, I think our relationship will be more stable.”
Ding Nan also smiled and said,"Yes, that makes sense. Let's do it well. Wandering was the state, and family was the destination. Regardless of whether it was a man or a woman, it was better to return to family.”She looked at him again. She remembered that he used to wear glasses for short-sightedness or contact lenses. Now, he had changed into the fashionable black-framed glasses to look intellectual. She didn't know if he was still short-sightedness or plain glasses. She was dressed in branded clothes. Compared to the casual appearance she had when they first met, she really looked like two different people.
Rong Xiaozhen nodded and said," I won't be in such a hurry to get my marriage certificate this time. I'll try it out for two years first. If we get along well, we'll get married. If we can't get along, we'll go back." We can't get married and divorce again."
Ding Nan smiled." A trial marriage can't guarantee that it'll be foolproof, but it's better than getting a divorce after getting married. We can still avoid some risks."”Thinking of his two short marriages, she asked casually," Are you still in contact with your two ex-wives?”
Rong Xiaozhen shook her head." Why did you contact him?" she asked.”
"Your ex-ex gave birth to a son for you, but you didn't contact him?" Ding Nan asked in surprise. How old was his son this year? I was born in the year of my postgraduate studies. I'm six years old, right? It's time to go to primary school."
Rong Xiaozhen's face darkened. After a moment of silence, she said,""Later, I went back to look for them again. The original house was occupied by someone else. I went to her sister's place again. Her sister and brother-in-law used to have a good relationship with me. After we divorced, I felt that things had changed. I saw that she didn't want to tell me, so I didn't look for her anymore.”
Ding Nan was deep in thought. When he thought of all kinds of strange cases of searching for his parents, he could not help but smile and say,"Don't worry, she will find you sooner or later, or let the child find you. At that time, you won't be able to escape even if you want to. It was better to prepare mentally and financially. He had also made it clear to his future wife in advance to save a place for the child.”
Rong Xiaozhen played with the cup in front of her and said lightly,""Not necessarily. I can't say for sure."
Ding Nan's expression also became solemn. In order to liven up the atmosphere, she teased,"So many years have passed. You still don't understand why she left you back then, right? I think it's going to become a thousand-year mystery."
Rong Xiaozhen laughed at herself and said,"I can't help it." Perhaps my life was worth it. The ups and downs were magnificent.”
The dishes were served one after another. Ding Nan moved out of the empty seat on the table and asked the waiter to serve two bowls of rice. He invited Rong Xiaozhen to eat while saying,""Perhaps life is like this. Wherever you go, you do what you have to do. Let nature take its course. As the old saying goes, plans can never keep up with changes.”
Rong Xiaozhen lowered her eyes and ate. After a while, she looked at her and said,""What's wrong with you? Why did they break up after more than a year? I didn't hear you clearly on QQ."
Ding Nan lowered her head and drank the soup without looking at him. She said softly,"If you don't like it, everything will be in vain. I originally thought that it was fine if we didn't like each other, but in fact, it's not possible.”
" Sigh," Rong Xiaozhen sighed and said," Most couples are like that. They spend time with each other and keep each other warm. That's all."”
Ding Nan also sighed softly and nodded."Yes, only those who know how to cherish it are worthy of it! Maybe I'm being cheap. It's already tough enough for a single mother to raise a child. Maybe I should go with the flow in the future.”
Rong Xiaozhen chuckled and asked,""What kind of man did you like?”
Ding Nan laughed." Haha. Well, on second thought, I think I prefer domineering men. It might be because of my own servility. However, domineering men are mostly unfaithful, fickle, and stubborn. They are not easy to control. Thinking about it carefully, she still preferred a quiet, warm, gentle, and considerate man. Because the older she got, the more she yearned for a simple and beautiful life. But no matter what it was, it required a spiritual pursuit.”
Rong Xiaozhen pondered for a while." Your request seems simple, but it's actually the most difficult. It's too abstract. It's very difficult to achieve."”
" It's difficult, but it's also easy," Ding Nan said disapprovingly." Such soft conditions are not rigid demands but flexible demands. It's enough as long as we can be more flexible.”
Rong Xiaozhen nodded and changed the topic.""Have you considered the online store collaboration? Can you resign?"
Ding Nan thought for a moment and said," Sigh, I really can't bear to leave the Art Academy. You don't know, but it's really like heaven. The natural environment and cultural environment are both good. It's dignified, free, and relaxing. You can also learn something. I don't think I'll ever find such a good unit again. However, the salary was too low, and there was no use for those who studied theory to earn extra money. I'll think about it and give you an answer in a month.”
Rong Xiaozhen consoled her." Your words left a deep impression on me. Perhaps life is about letting nature take its course, going with the flow, or even going with the flow. Although it's a little helpless and you can't follow your heart, it's still considered casual.”
"Yes," asked Ding Nan. How do you feel after doing online shopping for a few years?”
Rong Xiaozhen leaned back in her chair, her left arm casually resting on the left side of the chair. She looked at her and said,""To be honest, my heart is very tired. I feel that I can't stop. I feel that life is like wearing spinning dance shoes. I can't stop, and I don't dare to stop.”
Ding Nan nodded and said,"I understand the tension and pressure of a high-tempo. I was the same at that time. I was just sleeping. I felt that I could sleep as long as I wanted. It had also become a distant dream that could not be realized.”
" Yeah," Rong Xiaozhen said with a smile." A lot of things and feelings have been delayed." In fact, it was much simpler to just go with the flow. It was only now that he finally understood, but even after understanding, he could not stop.”
Ding Nan sighed again." Yes, that's right. I'm afraid just thinking about it. I'm afraid, but I have to move forward even if I'm afraid."”
The two of them chatted about Taobao Mall and Jingdong Mall, as well as the specific methods of cooperation. They decided to consider it before making any plans.
