Soon Hu Laosan and I were the only two people left in the whole office. The silence lasted for nearly two minutes. He asked me to pour him a glass of water.

I went over to take his cup to the water dispenser, filled it with hot water, took it back respectfully and put it on the table.

Hu Laosan glanced at me, then pointed to the chair in front of the desk for me to sit on.

"Are you angry?" he asked.

"No..." I tried to keep my tone calm, "Third brother is doing this for my own good."

"It's good that you know." Hu Laosan threw me a cigarette, "You have been from Goutui to today. You should know very well that no one here is irreplaceable." Hu Laosan's voice became calmer. , but still with an unquestionable seriousness, "In the park, the rules for survival are adaptation and endurance. The fact that you can get to this point proves that you have this ability."

He took a deep breath from the cigarette, and the smoke lingered in the air, seeming to reflect the complex emotions in his heart.

"What happened this time is a reminder to you. No matter what you do in the future, you have to be careful, do you understand?"

"Third brother, I understand." I replied, but there was an unspeakable complexity in my heart.

Hu Laosan raised his head and looked at me again, with a flash of approval in his eyes: "I have settled the matter this time. But it cost a lot of money... This money will be included in your performance. That is Say, on top of the [-] million I set for you before, you will do [-] million more."

One hundred and fifty million? !

I was shocked and swallowed.

Damn, why? !

I suppressed the anger in my heart and said calmly, "Okay, Third Brother."

"People's potential is forced out, so don't think this goal is too difficult." Hu Laosan spoke firmly, as if he had foreseen what I was thinking. He continued, "Here, if you want to survive, You have to keep challenging your limits.”

Although my heart was turbulent, I remained calm on the surface, knowing that in a place like the park, losing control of my emotions would only bring more trouble.

"Remember, Yang Lei." Hu Laosan took a puff of cigarette and said, "If you want to gain a foothold in this park, you have to show your value. I have high expectations for you, don't let me down."

After the words fell, Hu Laosan stood up and walked to the window, looking in the direction of the park, seeming to be thinking about something.

I sat quietly in my seat, my heart filled with complicated emotions.

This is a kind of uncertainty about the future, helplessness about reality, and a deep understanding of one's own role.

In this park, everyone is a pawn, and I am no exception!

Hu Laosan didn't clarify the matter about the mobile phone from beginning to end. It was just like this, which made me take the blame.

But at the same time, I also understand that this matter ends here.

Even though I feel a lot of discomfort in my heart, there is nothing I can do about it.

Sitting in the hospital office, I drank all the beer Wang Meng bought for me.

"Brother Lei, don't just drink, eat something." Wang Meng handed me the chopsticks and said.

I waved my hand and said, "I don't really want to eat it."

"Although the performance of [-] million is a bit much, as long as we work hard, it is not impossible."

I smiled, looked at him and said, "Do you know how much [-] million is?"

Wang Meng shook his head.

"Have you ever seen [-] million in cash?"

He still shook his head.

"As old as I am, let alone [-] million, I don't even know what a million in cash looks like."

I shook the empty beer bottle and lit a cigarette: "Hu Laosan is deliberately trying to treat me as an abandoned son this time..."

"Brother Lei, that's not the case, is it? If Vice President Hu really thought so, he wouldn't let you set up a new district."

"Wang Meng!" I looked at him and said, "Do you still remember the branch reform?"

He nodded.

"You should be very clear about the situation at that time. A new branch was divided and I was asked to implement the reform plan. In the end, what did I get? Hu Laosan arranged for his people to go in early, the reform was successful, and Cockroach took over The whole new branch...and what about me? After all, I was promoted to supervisor."

"Besides, it's not like you haven't seen the difference between me as a supervisor and other supervisors. I need people but no one, I need money but no money, and I'm always on tenterhooks."

"But, Brother Lei, haven't you established a new district now? And now you have so many people..."

I interrupted Wang Meng: "Don't you understand yet? This time in the new district, it is very likely that we will have to make wedding dresses for others!"

Wang Meng was stunned for a moment and pursed his lips: "Then...then Brother Lei, what do you want to do?"

"What can I do?" I sneered, "From the beginning to the end, I am just Hu Laosan's chamber pot. I take it out when I need it, and throw it under the bed when I don't need it."

"But Brother Lei, if we can't achieve [-] million, there will definitely be no good fruits to be eaten by then..."

I sighed and threw half of the cigarette in my hand into the beer bottle: "I don't want to achieve results... I just feel that after working so hard, I am not willing to just get a little reward."

Wang Meng's eyes lit up and he understood what I was thinking: "Brother Lei wants to keep the new district firmly in his hands?"

I nodded: "I don't want to make wedding clothes for others anymore!"

As I said that, I stared at Wang Meng seriously: "So I want you to do something for me."

"Brother Lei, tell me!"

"From today onwards, while making performance, I don't care what method you think of, you must let everyone below just listen to us! No matter what happens in the future, as long as you give an order, I want everyone to stand up. , let them do whatever they want!"

Wang Meng swallowed, with a hint of determination in his eyes, and nodded in agreement: "Brother Lei, I understand!"

I raised my hand and held Wang Meng's shoulder: "You must understand that our destiny must be firmly in our own hands."

My eyes were deep and my tone was firm: "You have to know that if anything happens in the future, only the two of us can rely on each other."

Wang Meng nodded vigorously: "Yes!"

"Also, over at the Security Department, you also need to find a way to win over some people. They may be useful in the future."

"clear."

I exhaled and glanced at my phone: "It's getting late. You should go back and rest early. Starting from tomorrow, our plan will be officially launched. Remember, everything must be done in a low-key manner and not attract unnecessary attention."

"Brother Lei, don't worry, I know what to do."

I nodded and watched him leave.

The office fell into silence again.

I stood in front of the window, the night breeze blowing gently, blowing the curtains.

I closed my eyes, took a deep breath, and felt the pulse of the park.

It is full of desires and ambitions, as well as dangers and opportunities.

I know that only by constantly strengthening myself can I gain a firm foothold in this dark world...
