The sunshine in Xunyang is old and seems to have no change from when he left five years ago.

It is not hot late spring, especially Xunyang, a particularly pleasant place. Walking out of the tunnel of the train station, when the breeze blew, Fan Zhe took the train for more than ten hours and stepped back onto his hometown land again, his dizzy head became much clearer.

He looked at the fat man standing in front of the station. He wanted to give him a hug, but in the end he just smiled.

Men are the shyest. They can say the most stingy sweet words in the world to their beloved women, but they will feel pretentious and embarrassed to even hug their father.

"dad."

"Yeah." The fat man, whose skin color was much darker than he remembered, nodded, and there was a smile on his face, "Have you eaten?"

"No."

"Why don't you eat in the car?"

“The things on the car are not delicious and expensive.”

"That's fine. Your mother has left you something to eat at home and go home to eat."

While talking, Fan Qing led Fan Zhe to a pickup truck parked on the road outside Xunyang Station.

The white pickup truck looks a little old, and the two big red words "Coach" written on the hood are very eye-catching.

When Fan's father was young, he worked in a first-tier city. Later, he got older and became hard to do, so he returned to his hometown. A few years ago, he started the last eight rounds of sand and soil. Due to policy issues, he lost money and took a year off and moved to work as a driving school instructor. He has been a veteran driver for 20 or 30 years, so he has this ability.

At that time, Fan Zhe was in college and had a lot of money. His family owed a lot of debts and he couldn't pay it back in the past few years.

When he opened the back seat door of the pickup truck, Fan Qing wanted to help Fan Zhe lift his suitcase up, but he refused.

"I can do it myself."

Dad Fan didn't force himself and sat in the cab.

As soon as the car started and drove out of the station, Fan Qing said, "How long will it take to stay when you come back this time?"

"I guess I'll stay for a while longer, maybe I won't leave."

"Hmm? I won't leave? Then..." Fan Qing stopped talking, sighed, and said, "It's okay. I've been out for five years and haven't been back a few times in total. Your mother misses you too, so it's okay to come back and take a break."

"Um."

After a moment, Fan's father spoke again: "Then, there is really nothing you can do with your company?"

Fan Zhe twisted his butt, and the coach felt uncomfortable sitting in the pickup truck: "The employees were all paid and they were dismissed, the places were subleted, and the equipment they could sell was sold. Several partners who lost money all accepted their fate. What else can they do?"

“How much money do you owe?”

"After the settlement is over, I still owe about 200,000 yuan. In addition to the money I borrowed before, it is about 500,000 yuan."

Hearing this, Fan Qing turned his head and looked at his son, and found that the expression on his face was not very heavy.

Fan’s father knew that he was suppressing the pressure in his heart and did not want his family to worry. But he was not a good person, and he didn’t know how to comfort his son at this time. He could only say: “If you have any, just tell me.”

Fan Zhe was happy: "What can you do if you earn three or four thousand yuan this month? Don't worry, your son can afford it."

"Why do you still?"

"I'll pay it back slowly, how old I am." Fan Zhe couldn't see any pressure on his face and smiled relaxed. He thought about the chip in his suitcase and felt even more relaxed.

...

Fan Zhe is an original artist. He has been in art training classes since junior high school and took the college entrance examination. He studied animation design at Shenghai Art Academy. After graduation, he stayed in Shenghai, started working, and worked in the original painting circle for almost five years.

Life in big cities is not that easy. Although the salary in this industry is not low, it is too much to think about wealth and wealth.

I am always a little ambitious person and don’t want to remain silent like this. I have a chance to take advantage of the hot trend of mobile games and have a partner to help him become the art director.

While investing in technology, Fan Zhe also invested a lot of money. All the money saved from work in several years, plus large loans, were thrown into it.

Then, it was a nightmare year.

Several consecutive projects have been dead, the company is no longer able to sustain, investors have lost confidence and will eventually be over.

The money that Fan Zhe threw in was not expected to be brought back. He didn't even get his eight-month salary, and he almost starved to death in Shenghai. The company went bankrupt and liquidated. The only thing he left for him was a USB flash drive that he didn't know where it came from, or the last time he went to the company and took it from a table.

Under the major blow, Fan Zhe was depressed for a while before he slowly recovered.

Then, when he copied the file with a USB flash drive, he realized that what he got was not a USB flash drive.

It was a chip that came from nowhere, and I don’t know who produced it. After being connected to the computer, it could directly play a role.

After roughly understanding the functions of this chip, Fan Zhe quickly became excited.

The software that this chip carries is called the 'dimensional system'.

The so-called "dimensionality" is a powerful tool in Fan Zhe's understanding, and it is an image working software that contains advanced technology that he can't even understand.

Fan Zhe suspected that this thing was an alien product and had never heard of any company or organization on this planet that could produce something with this level of technical content.

...

He took his father's car and returned home.

The old community has not changed much from the scene when he left home to Shenghai five years ago. Everything still looks so familiar to him.

His family lives on the fifth floor and an old community without an elevator, so he can only carry his luggage and walk up step by step in the narrow corridor.

Fortunately, Fan Zhe did not bring much back when he returned home this time.

When I walked upstairs, the door was already open. Fan Zhe's mother Li Rong was showing her head outside the door, and her face couldn't hide her smile.

"I guess you are you when I hear the footsteps going upstairs." Li Rong moved the door away and let the father and son into the door.

As soon as he entered the room, the fragrance filled his nose, which still accompanied him in the familiar taste of his whole childhood and youth.

Li Rong's cooking skills have been widely praised by many relatives and friends. Everyone who comes to Fan's family as a guest will definitely praise Fan's mother's skills.

Putting your luggage in the living room, sitting at the dining table, looking at the whole table of dishes, Fan Zhe said, "Mom, why are you cooking so many dishes? Only the three of us, where can we finish eating?"

Li Rong smiled and said, "Just eat, it's all your favorite food. I'll make something else for you tomorrow."

When Fan Zhe heard his mother say this, he was no longer pretentious. He moved his chopsticks and praised him while eating.

During the whole process, Li Rong was watching with a smile.

After a while, when Fan Zhe was about to finish eating, Li Rong suddenly thought of a question.

She asked, "By the way, Xiaozhe, why is Jiayi not coming back with you this time?"

Fan Zhe had a meal, then raised his head and said calmly: "I'm divorced Jiayi."

As soon as these words came out, Li Rong and Fan Qing's expressions changed.

"Divorce?!" Fan Qing slapped the table suddenly, "What's going on?"

The fat father Fan was shocked and angry at this moment. Fan’s mother, who was sitting next to her, was not much better.

The news of his son's divorce came so suddenly. This was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the old couple.

What's more, the couple has been very satisfied with their daughter-in-law Ye Jiayi since they first met a few years ago.

Divorce? It's simply bad news.

If the old couple hadn't been healthy, it wouldn't be impossible for them to get a heart attack right away.

"It's my fault," said Fan Zhe, "It's not Jiayi's fault."

"Don't think you can fool it like this!" Dad Fan said with a dark face, "Why didn't you tell us about the divorce in advance? I said why didn't she come back together? You guy!"

Fan's mother Li Rong covered her face, and tears were almost falling: "What the hell is going on? Why divorce?"

"The relationship was not very good some time ago, and after a quarrel, I got divorced." Fan Zhe didn't explain much. He really didn't want to say anything more about this, especially with his parents.

Fan Zhe's ex-wife Ye Jiayi is from Shenghai. Her father died in a car accident in his early years and was raised by his mother, but her mother also died of illness the year she graduated from college.

Fate is not friendly to her.

The two met and fell in love in Shenghai five years ago. At that time, Fan Zhe had just started working for a few years, and Ye Jiayi was still studying for graduate school. Three years ago, Ye Jiayi graduated from graduate school and the two entered marriage.

Ye Jiayi can be regarded as a top student, and she has the meaning of a strong woman. After graduation, she quickly devoted herself to work. In three years, she became the middle-level leader of a well-known investment bank in Shenghai, and her future is bright.

However, it is precisely because of this that their married life is far less beautiful than they thought before marriage. Ye Jiayi is very busy at work, and Fan Zhe is not much better. In addition to mortgage and car loan, both of them are people who have certain requirements for the quality of life. The economic pressure and other issues have caused many conflicts between them.

All of this broke out after the company that Fan Zhe participated in the investment went bankrupt.

In advance, Ye Jiayi did not agree with Fan Zhe's involvement in that mobile game company. It is true that he was chasing hot spots, but as an investor, Ye Jiayi was not optimistic about the prospects of Fan Zhe's mobile game company.

According to her, Fan Zhe's company "lacks core competitiveness", "naive and immature market research", "investors and partners are unreliable"...

Facts have proved that Ye Jiayi's judgment is correct.

However, Fan Zhe didn't think so at that time. He had a big fight with his wife and then devoted himself to the work of the new company.

During those months, he and Ye Jiayi were basically in a cold war. What’s ridiculous is that during those days, Fan Zhe had no income, and his family’s expenses were all supported by Ye Jiayi alone.

After the company went bankrupt, there was no need to say much about Fan Zhe's loss, but the worst blow to him was that he once discovered that his wife's boss, the man named David, was pursuing her.

He was a turtle plus a rich second generation, but he was not that kind of bad guy. He was very capable and elegant. No matter from any perspective, he was much better than Fan Zhe.

He had a big fight with Ye Jiayi because of this incident, and eventually ended with the divorce of the two.

Calm down and think about it, Fan Zhe felt that he had to bear certain responsibilities for the failure of his marriage.

Ye Jiayi has a strong personality, but looking back at that time, he was simply a bastard. After eating soft rice for several months, his temper was still so irritable. The cloud of career failure enveloped him, which made his mentality really unbalanced.
