Siheyuan: Sending Shazhu into the call center, Yi Gu is useless

Chen Rufeng's life has always been very peaceful. He is busy with company affairs during the weekdays and occasionally gets together with a few friends on weekends to play basketball, drink a few beers, and talk about their troubles and dreams. Among his friends, there is a man named Zhang Kai, who is like a brother to him. They were college classmates and spent four years of youth together. After graduation, they accidentally joined the same company.

Zhang Kai is cheerful and quick to act, a typical action man. Chen Rufeng is steady and reserved, and likes to think carefully before taking action. Their personalities complement each other, and they get along very harmoniously. At work, the two cooperate well, and are often called the "golden pair" by their colleagues.

However, life is always full of surprises and uncertainties. A major project bidding of the company changed everything.

It was an ordinary Friday, and the company received an important bidding invitation. This was a large project, and winning the bid would bring huge benefits to the company. The boss personally convened a meeting, emphasized the importance of the project, and decided that Chen Rufeng and Zhang Kai would be responsible for the planning and execution of the project.

In the following weeks, Chen Rufeng and Zhang Kai worked day and night, looking up information, conducting research, and formulating plans. They repeatedly considered every detail and strived for perfection. For this project, Chen Rufeng even turned down several friends' gatherings and spent his weekends in the office.

During this process, Chen Rufeng gradually discovered that something was wrong with Zhang Kai. He often hid in a corner and made phone calls with a serious expression, and sometimes disappeared for several hours without any reason. Although Chen Rufeng was puzzled, he did not ask more questions out of trust in his friend.

Finally, they completed the plan and submitted it to the boss. The boss was very satisfied with their work and said that there was a great hope for success in this bidding. However, just one day before the bidding results were to be announced, an accident happened.

That night, Chen Rufeng stayed in the company to work overtime as usual, preparing some final details. Suddenly, he received a strange phone call. A deep male voice told him a shocking news - someone leaked their plan to a competitor.

Chen Rufeng suddenly felt dizzy and his mind went blank. He couldn't believe it was true, but his intuition told him that it might be true. He forced himself to calm down and began to think about the possibility and motive of this matter. Almost instinctively, he thought of Zhang Kai.

He decided to question Zhang Kai. When he arrived at Zhang Kai's door, he knocked but no one answered. He was so anxious that he had to call Zhang Kai. The call went through, but Zhang Kai's answer made him feel disappointed.

"Rufeng, I'm sorry, I have no choice." Zhang Kai's voice was low and helpless, "I know you will hate me, but I have no choice."

Chen Rufeng's heart instantly sank to the bottom. He asked, "Why? We are brothers, why did you betray me?"

Zhang Kai was silent for a few seconds, then said: "I owe a lot of money to outsiders, and they threatened me that if I don't help them, I will be miserable. I'm sorry, Rufeng, I really can't do anything."

Chen Rufeng clenched his fists, his voice trembling: "So you're going to betray me? Are you going to sell out the results of our joint efforts?"

Zhang Kai sighed painfully: "Rufeng, I know I am sorry for you, but you have to believe me, I really had no choice but to do this."

Chen Rufeng hung up the phone angrily. He stood at the door of Zhang Kai's house, feeling powerless and desperate. Years of friendship and trust were ruthlessly torn apart at this moment. He turned and left, with Zhang Kai's apology and explanation constantly echoing in his mind, but no matter what, he could not forgive such a betrayal.

When Chen Rufeng returned to the company, he told his boss about it. The boss was furious, but the situation was irreversible. The next day, a competitor won the bid with a similar proposal, and the company suffered heavy losses. Zhang Kai was also fired from the company, but this was meaningless to Chen Rufeng.

After that, Chen Rufeng's life changed dramatically. He no longer trusted anyone and became withdrawn and indifferent. Although he still worked hard, the passion and hope for the future in his heart no longer existed. Every day, he was like a zombie, operating mechanically in work and life.

One autumn afternoon, Chen Rufeng sat alone on the rooftop of his company building, looking at the city view in the distance, with mixed feelings in his heart. He recalled every detail of the past, the good times, and the betrayal. He knew that this scar would remain in his heart forever, becoming a pain that he could never erase.

However, life has to go on, and Chen Rufeng also knows that he can't stay in pain forever. He decided to cheer up again. Although his heart is still full of scars, he believes that one day he will find his own sky. No matter how bumpy the road ahead is, he will go on bravely.

Chen Rufeng stood on the rooftop for a long time, the autumn wind blowing with a hint of coolness on his face, but his thoughts seemed to be frozen in the cold wind. The sunset gradually sank to the west, and the red glow in the sky reflected on his face, adding a touch of desolation to his already tired face.

He lowered his head and looked at the endless stream of cars and people below him, with mixed feelings in his heart. He once thought that friendship was indestructible, but now he had to admit that trust could be so fragile. He sighed, as if he wanted to spit out all the depression in his heart, but the heavy feeling still pressed on his heart and could not be dispersed.

At this moment, the door to the rooftop quietly opened, and Yan Bugui walked out slowly. He had been observing Chen Rufeng downstairs, and seeing that he had not left yet, he decided to come up to take a look. Yan Bugui was an old employee of the company and also Chen Rufeng's senior. The two usually had a good relationship, but he did not have such a deep friendship with Chen Rufeng as Zhang Kai did.

"Rufeng, are you okay?" Yan Bugui's voice was particularly clear on the quiet rooftop. He walked to Chen Rufeng and patted his shoulder.

Chen Rufeng looked back at Yan Bugui and forced a smile: "It's okay, Brother Bugui. It's just that there are some things that I can't figure out for the time being."

Yan Bugui nodded, with an understanding look in his eyes: "I know you feel bad. Zhang Kai is such a disappointment. But we have to learn to let go of some things and not keep dwelling on them."

Chen Rufeng smiled bitterly and whispered, "Yes, I know the truth, but now that it has happened to me, I just can't let it go."
