The morning sun pierced through the clouds. Dou Sa appeared on the ground, revealing a little bit of light. It would more or less make people feel relaxed and happy, sighing at life.
Lin Mu sat in his office chair and flipped through all kinds of information. He could see that the project at hand had indeed brought him trouble. However, the more adversity he faced, the more money he had to laugh sarcastically. Lin Mu did not want to let it go at all. However, things did not go as he wished. Up until now, the deadline was approaching bit by bit, but the progress of the project had not changed at all. The entire project was stuck on that piece of land that was entangled in disputes.
Lin Mu pushed away the document in his hand as if he was venting his anger. He took advantage of the situation and his entire body sank into the seat. He hugged his entire face with both hands and panted heavily.
He had no clue about the land. Deep down, he was already afraid. He was afraid that this matter was really hopeless.
A person was sulking. The sound of people walking back and forth outside the door was transmitted back to Lin Mu's ears. It was usually so noisy that he did not notice it. This made him even more upset.
The pace of progress in the city never stopped. People's vision, knowledge, and pursuit of constant evolution were first reflected in the materialistic nature of things. Lin Chen had experienced many bitter lives and knew what that was. However, now, the people in the city were changing every day. Lin Chen's jewelry store had begun to close down, and business had dimmed. Those who used to love small things began to pursue brands and gorgeous things. They gradually lost their love for their small accessories. Lin Chen was also dejected, but there was nothing he could do.
Just as Lin Chen was feeling emotional, a group of young couples walked in hand in hand. Lin Chen quickly stood up and introduced them.
"What's so good about the things here? Why did you bring me to such a place? Let's go!" The girl said angrily to the boy.
"I think it's quite nice. Take a closer look.”The boy casually picked up an exquisite hourglass and showed it to the girl.
"What's good about it? How is it nice?"
Lin Chen looked at the man and woman in front of him and felt extremely uncomfortable.
" You said you wanted to take a stroll, so I brought you here. I've seen the things here before, and they're quite unique," the boy explained.
"You've been here? Which woman did he come with? You lied to me!"
The boy was shocked, and his face was filled with embarrassment and helplessness. He had obviously never thought that this would happen.
"It's fine if you don't like it. Why are you throwing a tantrum?”The boy was clearly enraged.
"It's you, okay? Don't tell me you're here alone!”The girl still had no intention of stopping and continued to argue loudly.
"Yes, I am alone." The boy's face flushed red.
"I don't like the things in this place. I don't want them.”The girl yelled out, but her words were like a knife, stabbing into Lin Chen's heart.
"You're clearly vain."
"So what if I love Xu? Can't I want something better? If you want to buy it, then go ahead. I'm leaving." With that, she turned around and strode out, leaving the boy standing there in a daze.
"Hurry up and chase after them! She ran far away." Lin Chen said as he watched the girl leave.
" Sigh." The boy sighed weakly.
"Everyone likes better things, and the things they pursue will be different.”Lin Chen explained to the boy, trying to persuade him to go quickly.
"Thank you! I'm sorry for the inconvenience.”The boy smiled, shook his head, and walked away in the opposite direction of the girl.
Lin Chen was in a terrible mood as he looked at the scene just now.
What was true love? Everyone had the right to pursue something better. Everyone had the desire to pursue something that they did not have. But what was the best? Perhaps no one knew.
Perhaps this kind of plot had appeared countless times in a certain novel and was used as an example. However, the scene before his eyes still stabbed Lin Chen's heart.
It was not only the fragility of love, but also the fragility of the heart. It was like a gap, but it was definitely not bitten by God.
Lin Chen smiled expressionlessly. It was a bitter smile, a cold sneer, and an unreasonable smile.
Lin Chen felt bad when he saw the store that he had spent so much effort on declining day and night. It was the only consolation he had in this city. He had wanted to grow old simply like this, but now, it was difficult. He didn't know how long this situation could last. It was a cruel end, and Lin Chen didn't dare to think about it.
Zhou Min called and said that they would have a gathering tonight. She asked Lin Chen to go to her place earlier and reminded him to go earlier. Lin Chen thought about it and realized that it had been a long time since they last talked. It was a rare opportunity for them to have such a conversation, so he agreed to meet Zhang Min.
The hot summer had finally arrived. Everyone on the street began to dress up for the summer. The scorching sun kept burning the earth, as if it wanted to burn everything in the world clean.
Zhang Min's coffee shop was a different scene. More and more people began to stop here. It seemed that the coffee shop was a representative of elegance. This era was the world of young people, and the coffee shop was often the embodiment of quiet and fashion. Zhang Min was very busy every day.
Back then, Zhang Min's parents divorced and gave her such a small shop full of hope. Now, everything here was really gratifying. It was a kind of comfort and income.
It was normal for others to be envious, but Lin Chen was happy for his good friend, Zhang Min. The girl who was once depressed was now full of joy, so Lin Chen was naturally excited.
This gathering was also suggested by Lin Mu. The recent boredom had made him physically and mentally tired. Zhang Min had told Lin Mu many times that they could eat or chat together, but Lin Mu had rejected them every time. Therefore, this time, it could be considered a kind of apology.
This time, Lin Mu brought his best office lady, Deng Fei. Deng Fei had asked Lin Mu to introduce her to Zhang Min and the others. This time, Lin Mu agreed to Deng Fei's request.
Deng Fei was obviously a little excited. She spent most of the afternoon dressing up in front of the mirror in her office. Lin Mu just smiled and said,"There's no need to be so formal!"”How could Deng Fei listen to him? She ignored Lin Mu's words and continued to do as she pleased.
"I didn't realize that you were so enthusiastic when you were working.”Lin Mu said to Deng Fei with a smile.
"Work is work. You have to maintain your image when you go out to meet people.”Deng Fei smiled and replied," Don't tell me that others will say that all of Manager Lin's subordinates are shameful? I don't want to make a fool of myself."
