Sun Zinan drove out of the garden of the villa, and drove towards the fourth ring road along the empty road at night.

Before he had gone ten meters, a car followed him and honked his horn behind him. At first, Sun Zinan thought it was an overtaking car, but when the car window was lowered, he saw Tang Kai was sitting inside. .

He gestured for a phone call, slowed down and retreated to the back.Sun Zinan touched a bluetooth headset and put it on, and picked up the voice call with Tang Kai.

"When did you come?"

"I came over right after work," Tang Kai coquettishly complained, "I've been waiting for you outside for a long time, but you didn't even see me."

Sun Zinan: "I didn't expect you to follow me."

"Dong Chuang's incident happened, it must be nothing good for your father to call you here." Tang Kai asked worriedly, "They didn't bully you, did they?"

Sun Zinan laughed: "Not at all. I remember that there is a parking lot after going down the intersection in front. I will park the car there. Wait for me."

Ten minutes later, Sun Zinan opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat.Tang Kai leaned over to fasten his seat belt for him, and touched his face casually: "Go to your place or go back to my house?"

"Your home." Sun Zinan lowered the seat a little, and let out a tired breath, "I won't be going back for a few days."

"why?"

"I talked harshly to them tonight. This group of people will definitely not stop. Maybe they will come to me. They are too lazy to deal with it." Sun Zinan leaned back and closed his eyes, "Go back and tell you more, let's drive first." .”

The street lights at night form a bright river, and occasionally one or two beams of car lights coming from the opposite direction shine through the dim window, and fall faintly on Sun Zinan's face, illuminating some of the long-standing and deep-rooted problems hidden in the underwater shadows. of regret.

That was something he had peeled off with his own hands.

Although Tang Kai's house doesn't often open fire, there are a few bottles of good quality red wine hidden away, which are just right to take away his sorrows tonight.

Normally, Tang Kai might stop him, but before he entered the house, he heard about Sun Zinan's feat of driving him out of the house, and knowing that he needed to vent, he simply poured a glass of red wine to accompany him Sitting on the sofa, listening to him recall the past, and answering long-standing doubts by the way.

"My dad's way of thinking is different from normal people." Sun Zinan said quietly, "Hongsen has grown and grown in his hands, and it is not easy to save this family business. He often thinks that this is the throne, and he must Finding a perfect heir is worthy of his whole life's painstaking efforts."

"My eldest brother and second brother were both born to other women when he was young. The son was brought back to raise, and the mother gave some money to send away. The mother and the child were not allowed to meet. The child must be raised by him. It sounds like In ancient times, the emperor who was very suspicious would do it. My father never married a wife in his life. The only time he was tempted was probably to the mothers of Sun Ziyan and Sun Ziyi. But that woman committed suicide shortly after giving birth. do not know why."

"Perhaps there is a reason for his love of the house and his crows. He dotes on the third and fourth children, and raised two young ones. But in a family like the Sun's, it doesn't matter at all. As long as they don't go too far, a family of five can live a good life. But the old man insisted on finding me, but he still didn't know it, and since then, this family has never lived in peace again."

"It's not something you can choose. If you want to blame it, you can't be blamed." Tang Kai stroked his shoulder lightly a few times, comforting him, "But why does he have to have another child?"

"The reason is so ridiculous that it's ridiculous to say it." Sun Zinan shook his red wine glass and asked him, "Have you heard of the 'catfish effect'?"

It is said that after Norwegian fishermen caught sardines, they worried that the sardines would suffocate to death due to lack of oxygen, so they usually put a catfish into the sardine school.The catfish feeds on fish, and after entering the container, they start to swim and hunt for food, which makes the sardines avoid in all directions due to fright, thus solving the problem of hypoxia of the sardines.This is the so-called "catfish effect", which is often applied to corporate management. The general approach is to stimulate employees to work hard by imposing a sense of crisis.

Tang Kai: "You mean..."

Sun Zinan said: "The old man pursues this principle. I heard that when he was 45 years old, he had a serious illness. The condition was very serious. At that time, my elder brother and the others thought that he would not survive, so they collectively proposed to let him immediately. The will, to distribute the inheritance while he is still sober. My dad may have been stimulated by this incident, and he recovered miraculously not long after. It is estimated that he has been aware of the crisis since then. These children Thinking about the family property, no one really regarded him as a father.

"But you know my dad. It's not an exaggeration to say that he is greedy for profit. As long as he is alive, he will never let go of power. In order to suppress these four adult children, he went abroad to find a surrogate. Five kids—I was the 'catfish' in his plan."

"My eldest brother is more stable than decisive, and my second brother is too slippery. Let alone Sun Ziyan and Sun Ziyi, they are a pair of useless idiots. He praised me and reused me, so that others can keep their own place under the drive of a sense of crisis. But Sun Ziyan is not If I wanted to die, I skipped over the old man and dealt with him directly, that's why my dad was so angry."

Sun Ying not only wants him to be a catfish, but also wants him to be a catfish that obeys orders wholeheartedly.He can use Sun Zinan to check and balance other sons and daughters, but he does not allow Sun Zinan to escape from his control and fight back without authorization.Tonight, he was going to beat Sun Zinan severely, but the catfish rebelled, the sardines were torn into a ball, and his chessboard was directly overturned by Sun Zinan. I don't know how Sun Ying will feel right now.

Tang Kai was dumbfounded.

"But you are also his own son," he asked carefully, "Why did he treat you like this?"

Sun Zinan laughed silently.

"Because I'm 'Catfish,'" he said, "I'm just an employee in his eyes, not his child."

No matter how outstanding he is, for Sun Ying, Sun Zinan has never been in the list of his successors.Because I haven't been raised, I can't have any feelings.Just like the quarrel that happened tonight, family affection was just an excuse to blame. In fact, everyone knew that what really tied Sun Zinan to them was the inheritance qualification represented by blood relationship.

"So when I was young, he was actually very good to me. He was the best in terms of food, clothing, and schooling. I once thought he really loved me, but later I realized that it was not called 'father's love', it was called employee motivation. Sun Zinan drank half a glass of red wine in one gulp, and said drunkenly, "I was also stupid before, but I was depressed for a long time because of the truth."

Even though he was already drunk, he still restrained himself in expressing words.In fact, it was more than just depression. This is how his depression came about when he first went abroad.

In the summer vacation before Sun Zinan went abroad, Sun Ying transferred 5.00% of the shares into his name.This decision caused an uproar at home, and Sun Zinan didn't want to hit the guns of his brothers, so he hid in the small garden and read books all day long.He hid too secretly, and one day accidentally overheard the conversation between Sun Ying and his former secretary.

The other party seemed to have doubts about this decision, and couldn't help asking: "Chairman, if you do this, the young master has more shares than the young master Ziyuan, is this... wrong?"

Sun Ying was walking slowly in front with a cane, and suddenly stopped and asked him: "Do you know what is called the 'catfish effect'?"

A sentence that came along with the summer breeze shattered his life of more than ten years.

A person who has been neglected, but still stubbornly believes that he is loved, suddenly faces this cruel world, and realizes that he has long since been abandoned. His life is a joke, how can he live here? What is a soul in a body?

If a person has lost his foothold since he was born, and he doesn't even have a "self", how can he talk about the value and meaning of life?

Tang Kai remained silent, stretched out his hand and hugged him firmly into his arms.

The wine glass in Sun Zinan's hand shook, and he quickly stabilized it: "Hey, be careful, don't spill it on your clothes."

"I'm good to you," Tang Kai murmured, "They don't care about you, I care about you... You have to have nostalgia for this world, if you can't say hello, just float away quietly."

"What are you floating about? Stop floating." Sun Zinan rested his head on his shoulder and hid his entire face, a stream of tears fell silently into the soft home clothes.He said hoarsely: "You are here, where else can I go."

He hadn't cried for many years, and even the feeling of crying involuntarily became strange.

"Don't cry... Be good, we don't have to be sad for scum, baby." Although Tang Kai didn't see it, he could feel the wet marks on his shoulders, and he wanted to blow up Sun Ying's family for a moment.He kissed Sun Zinan's hair, hugged him with open arms, and said solemnly: "Do you know that catfish are freshwater fish, and sardines are seawater fish. If you put catfish in the tank containing sardines, they will definitely die."

Sun Zinan: "..."

"The theory of 'catfish effect' doesn't conform to the laws of nature at all, and the poor little one has been entrapped by pseudoscience." Tang Kai said, "Your father is a half-baked guy, and I'm the professional. From now on, let's hang out with Mr. Tang. Guaranteed. You don't get lost."

"Besides, how can you be a catfish?" He added very honestly, "Catfish are so ugly."

This way of comforting people was so unique that Sun Zinan's tears were suppressed.

Sometimes he actually admires Tang Kai's brain circuit. It has a unique angle, straight to the point, and is not easily disturbed by emotional factors. In an instant, it came out of the horns, with a sense of transparency.

In fact, as long as someone is with him at this time, he will feel much better.

"Okay, I'm fine." Sun Zinan got up from Tang Kai's arms, the corners of his eyes were still slightly red, but the tears had disappeared, "I've finished talking about what I need to talk about, thank you Professor Tang for willing to take me flying."

Tang Kai approached him in a bewildered manner, kissed the corner of his eyes lightly, and said, "I suddenly discovered that you look pretty good when you cry."

Sun Zinan: "..."

I really want to give this old man a scoop and see how many tons of yellow waste he has in his head.

"I won't bully you," Tang Kai couldn't help laughing when he saw his speechless expression, "but give me a chance to practice in the future, okay?"

"..." Sun Zinan was expressionless, "What a fart. Come on, I'm going to take a shower and go to bed."

"Take a shower right after drinking? It's easy to faint, no way." Tang Kai held his waist to prevent him from leaving, "Either you sit here to sober up before going, or I'll take a bath with you, you choose one. "

Sun Zinan raised his eyebrows: "That's right, Professor Tang, you'll be on top after drinking the bottom of the glass, your drinking capacity...isn't it good?"

After speaking, he immediately vomited: "Oh no, you can't say that men are not good."

"..."

Professor Tang, who had been molested, turned over and threw Sun Zinan down, firmly pressing him under him, clamping his wrist with one hand and raising it above his head, while the other hand dishonestly slid down his back, gritted his teeth and said viciously: "Okay, turn your face and deny people, right? I'm going to make you cry and say 'no' today."
