The story begins with a boy named Fang Feiyang.

September 2009, the end of summer.

If we had to use eight words to describe Fang Feiyang's current living situation, the words "unexamined" and "accomplished nothing" would be very appropriate. Facing the boring assembly line at work every day, he felt like vomiting.

a feeling of.

After work, he usually goes back to the company dormitory, holds his second-tier brand laptop, surfs the Internet, and watches Hong Kong or American dramas. He spent four months frugally on this laptop and bought it as a gift for himself on his birthday.

, has been with him for three years, and can be regarded as one of the few fixed assets around Fang Feiyang.

"Is this my life? It's so fucked up!!" A roar echoed through the dormitory.

It has been three years since Fang Feiyang graduated and worked in an electronics factory for three years, but he has been living a painless life, living a life where he cannot make a fortune and cannot starve to death.

I still remember that three years ago, when Fang Feiyang was still in the internship period, he squeezed into this multinational company that was known to be strong and ranked among the top 500 companies in the world through a campus job fair. With full enthusiasm and the ambition of just leaving campus,

With great ambition, he became an ordinary worker in this electronics factory.

It is said that their generation of college students is the "Beat Generation". They have high ambitions but low abilities, and are very ambitious. They think that they are great after graduating from a bachelor's degree. They have nostrils in the sky, will not find a job unless it is the management, and are unwilling to do dirty work. Fang Feiyang once shook his head.

Shaking his head, he boasted that he was not such a person, and that no matter which position he held, it had its value.

"I must be down-to-earth and work from the grassroots level!"

Fang Feiyang secretly made up his mind and told himself that God rewards hard work and hard work will be rewarded. Although he is an operator now, as long as he is willing to learn, work hard and perform well, he will one day be appreciated by the leader. In addition,

During the induction training, the well-dressed head of the human resources department passionately faced the big projector screen and listed a series of stories of company employees who started from the bottom, worked hard, and finally got promoted and received salary increases, becoming the company's core management.

Feiyang's blood boiled when he heard this, and he strengthened his belief that he would bravely venture into the world.

This venture lasted three years.

In the past three years, he has learned that China is full of foreign-funded companies, and 499 of the world's top 500 companies have branches in China; he also knows that the job he loves is to fix two sets of components over and over again.

The positions are welded together; the most important thing is that he knows that the so-called 'Tiandao rewards hard work' is just a literal symbol used by the ancients to hypnotize themselves.

I follow the standard operating procedures on the assembly line and handle every component with all my heart. In exchange, I only get a meager salary of more than two thousand yuan per month. With such a salary, I can even buy a slightly high-end dress in a large shopping mall.

If not, how can we talk about ideals and ambitions?

Dragging his tired body, Fang Feiyang ended his long twelve-hour night shift and returned to the dormitory prepared by the company for employees.

This is a four-person dormitory. The company arranged for them bunk beds and poor-quality and rough wardrobes. The room is in a mess. The wastebaskets are full of garbage. No one is willing to take the initiative to replace the garbage with clean ones.

The bag was covered with melon seed shells that his roommate knocked down last night, and there were smelly socks hanging beside the bed frame. Sometimes he really wanted to move out and rent a house by himself, but he couldn't bear the hundreds of yuan in rent after thinking about it.

The electronics factory where Fang Feiyang works implements a system of "three shifts, two shifts" and "four shifts on and two off", which means that the workshop assembly line does not stop 24 hours a day, and all workers are divided into three shifts, taking turns switching between the day shift and the night shift.

The day shift allows for two days of rest. A layman may think that as long as he works four days of work, he can have two days of vacation. The system is quite user-friendly. However, everyone knows that these twelve hours of working time are not something that ordinary people can endure. There is also the third

On a rest day, people who have worked the night shift must use it to sleep and rest.

Fang Feiyang was currently on his last night shift in a four-day shift. He returned to his familiar kennel dormitory. He simply washed and brushed, and didn't even bother to eat breakfast. He fell on the bed and fell asleep with his head covered.

"Believe in yourself...oh oh oh..."

However, the cell phone ringtone rang unexpectedly.

"Hello..." Fang Feiyang looked at the caller ID on his cell phone as "Stinky King", pressed the answer button helplessly, and asked weakly.

"Hey! Feiyang, I am Wang Quanquan. The class reunion I told you last week is scheduled for tonight. Don't forget it! ..."

Fang Feiyang reminded Fang Feiyang with high spirits on the other end of the phone.

"Um!"

"The location is the newly opened 'Longding Pavilion Restaurant' in the new district. Hey, the boss there and I have some friendship... Let's start at six o'clock, don't be late..."

"knew!"

Fang Feiyang hung up the phone with a tired look.

Wang Quanquan is Fang Feiyang's classmate at University. He has been the monitor of his class since his freshman year and a celebrity among the department heads. I heard that his father is a well-known entrepreneur in the city and runs a real estate development company. After graduation,

The son inherited his father's business and temporarily served as the business department manager in his father's company to become familiar with the company's business processes.

Every summer, Wang Quanquan organizes a reunion for his classmates without hesitation, and every time he reserves the place to treat guests, so of course, Wang Quanquan is undoubtedly the focus of the meeting.

To be honest, Fang Feiyang is becoming more and more afraid of attending class reunions.

No one has a good life and no one has a high salary. Wang Quanquan always likes to talk about everyone's work remuneration, as if he is afraid that others will not know that he is living a comfortable life. So Fang Feiyang sets his mobile phone number storage to "

"The King of Stinky Farts".

"Hey, good study doesn't mean good work. What's more, my previous grades were average..."

"This is an era of fighting for your father..."

With infinite emotion, Fang Feiyang fell into sleep. For the loss and imbalance in reality, he could only find some solace in the emptiness of dreams.

*********************

Longding Pavilion Restaurant is a high-end hotel with ancient Chinese cultural atmosphere that just opened in Suzhou New District last month. The antique palace-style building, red walls and yellow tiles, painted buildings and carved beams are resplendent and resplendent, reflecting the high-end and high-end style of the restaurant.

Luxurious. All the waiters are wearing long palace dresses, with their hair carefully and uniquely styled into palace buns. They serve guests with smiles and soft voices, giving those who come to spend money a sense of imperial dignity.

The most distinctive thing is the names of the VIP boxes in the restaurant, which are called "Yangxin Palace", "Ningshou Palace", "Qianqing Palace", "Kunning Palace"...

For this class reunion, Wang Quanquan booked two extra large VIP private rooms in the "Qianqing Palace" and "Kunning Palace". According to this guy's bad words, he wanted to enjoy top-notch services in the palaces of the emperor and empress.

At this time, in this imperial-level box, people were drinking and drinking, it was so lively!

"Come on... Let's toast the squad leader together. This time the squad leader has spent money again!"

It has been three years since graduation, and these classmates are no longer the stupid young people they once were on campus. After being rinsed in the big dye vat of society, they are all eloquent and well-spoken.

"good!..."

Wang Quanquan, who was sitting at the head, seemed to enjoy the feeling of being admired. He held up his wine glass with his face glowing red, waved his hands at the other two tables in a serious manner, and then drank the white wine in the glass in one gulp.

The students in the audience burst into applause.

Fang Feiyang majored in electronic engineering. There were 45 people in the class, and 28 came to this party. After all, three years have passed. Not all of them have a rich and powerful father like Wang Quanquan, and not all of them have a rich and powerful father.

Rendu and Fang Feiyang were able to "calmly" face the fierce pressure of urban life. Many of their former friends chose to return to their hometowns to develop their careers, so naturally they could not be present.

"Nah, if I had known earlier, I might as well have stayed in the dormitory and surfed the Internet!" Fang Feiyang cursed secretly.

...

At the wine table, a group of old classmates exchanged glasses, and the banquet had obviously reached its climax.

Fang Feiyang was hiding alone at the end of the second table, pouring himself a glass of wine, and seemed to have drank a lot.

"Feiyang, where is your girlfriend? Why don't I see you taking her with you?"

The speaker was one of Fang Feiyang’s roommates named Zhang Guoshan. He is one of the few brothers around Fang Feiyang who keeps in touch with him on a regular basis. He is now doing administrative work in an auction house and is doing slightly better than Fang Feiyang.

Some time ago, I heard him say that he wanted to buy a second-hand car and drive it.

Even though he has the word "backer" in his name, he is actually a very simple person. Like Fang Feiyang, he comes from Fengcheng, northern Jiangsu, and his parents are also ordinary working-class people. But this

The boy is loyal and friendly. He even participated in a martial arts club for a while in college. I heard that his grandfather practiced martial arts and served as a soldier when he was young. This boy lived with his grandfather for several years when he was a child. Under the influence of his grandfather, he has a very good character.

Bold.

"Split it!" Fang Feiyang picked up the wine glass bitterly and took a sip.

The reality is so cruel. I have been in love with my girlfriend for four years in college. I don’t know from which day the number of sweet phone calls has become less frequent. Text messages sent sometimes also come to nothing. In addition,

The schedules of the two of them did not match each other. Often when his girlfriend was on weekends off, Fang Feiyang was at work, and the two of them spent time alone together less and less. Finally, the day Fang Feiyang took a break happened to be the weekend. After the two met,

My girlfriend's interest was average, and her smile seemed a bit forced.

A month later, Fang Feiyang received a text message from his girlfriend, which contained only two words "Sorry".

There is no need for complicated words or explanations with various reasons, Fang Feiyang already understands it in his heart.

"Oh! Brother! I won't say anything else. I'll toast you! Let's do it first!" Zhang Guoshan picked up the wine bottle and filled a glass for himself.

"I did it too!"

Fang Feiyang deliberately narcotized himself and drank with his brothers.

...

After the party ended, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening.

Rejecting the support of his brother Zhang Guoshan, Fang Feiyang walked to the road alone, planning to have a luxurious time and take a taxi back to the factory dormitory.

When he came out of the hotel and walked on the road, a gust of wind blew. Fang Feiyang couldn't help but shuddered, and suddenly felt an urgent need to urinate.

To the south of Longding Pavilion Restaurant is a dense forest of metasequoia trees. Fang Feiyang looked back and saw that he was already some distance away from the hotel. Walking back to use the restroom was a bit too troublesome. He looked around and saw no one around, so he dove into the forest of metasequoia trees in front of him.

, opening the gate to release water to half of the tree stumps in the forest.

At this party, Fang Feiyang drank an estimated kilogram of liquor. It’s not that he has a high alcohol capacity, but he was in a bad mood and deliberately got drunk. What’s more, the “Stinky Fart King” provided Moutai in fine print.

drink.

It’s late summer in September, and the high temperature of summer is still hanging over this city. But for some reason, the southeast wind seems to be particularly strong tonight. In this large area of ​​​​the original ecological metasequoia forest, the unique characteristics of the metasequoia trees are floating in the air.

The leaves are feathery, flat and soft. The ground in the forest is covered with thick metasequoia leaves. When you step on them, you have the illusion of stepping on a sponge mat.

After releasing the excess "weight", Fang Feiyang stepped on the speckled moonlight in the forest and walked a few steps forward drowsily. At this time, a wave of alcohol surged up, and Fang Feiyang felt his stomach churning, and then

I couldn't help it, so I took a big mouthful of "Wow" and spit it onto a metasequoia tree nearby.

"Damn, I still have no life to enjoy it. It's a waste of good wine and food!" Fang Feiyang said mockingly to himself.

However, after vomiting, his stomach felt much better. He took out his mobile phone and saw that it was almost half past ten and he had to go back to the dormitory quickly.
Chapter completed!
