Chapter 1 Actual Start

At the end of last year, the construction site only held a ribbon-cutting ceremony, but today is the real start of construction. All the important people are basically here, except for Pei Shi Yu and that foreigner. I don't know if Pei Shi Yu withdrew because of the foreigner.

While I was making wild guesses, the cigarette in my fingers was down to its butt and had already extinguished itself. Xiao Wu next to me nudged my arm and said in a low voice, "Look, Lin Hai is here."

Hearing this repulsive name, I quickly turned my head. Lin Hai, with his burly figure, was wearing an overcoat and his hair was neatly combed. Lin Yang followed behind him, puffed out his chest, and walked straight to Lao Liang's side. His flattering voice could be heard clearly even by me, standing far away...

"General Liang, thank you. Please take care of us in the future. This is my son, Lin Yang."

Before Lao Liang could answer, more flattering words came: "Lin Yang, quickly greet General Liang. Young people need to learn to be worldly."

Hearing this, I sneered inwardly. He himself had become like an eunuch, and he wanted to cultivate Lin Yang into someone like him.

The bursts of laughter were very harsh to my ears. While making me feel out of place, it also seemed to be announcing that I had been isolated, which was also Chen Biao's goal.

I lit another cigarette, as if to give myself some composure, but Xiao Wu couldn't hold back his impatience. He said to me with a bit of agitation, "Brother Lin, let's go over too. Don't let them collude."

"Go over and do what? They're having a great time talking."

"Then our situation is too humble. Sooner or later, we'll be squeezed out."

"Let's see. Before we get squeezed out, let's take the initiative to leave."

I dropped these words and started walking out. Being squeezed out was already a certainty. If it were before, General Li would have called me over long ago. Today, there's no movement at all. Obviously, he himself can't control the situation anymore. Moreover, he knows my personality like the back of his hand. I won't bow and scrape like Lin Hai, and I can't learn Chen Biao's tricks of building relationships for personal gain.

I went to the car on my own. A Cheng and Xiao Hei followed Chen Biao. In this situation, it's hard to tell who their master is now. It's estimated that they're finding it difficult to take sides.

I got straight into the car and found that Xiao Wu didn't follow me out as usual. I glanced inside casually and saw him standing next to Xiao Hei, the three of them talking.

.......

I drove straight into the residential area. I got up early today and was full of energy when I went out, but now I realize that I can't fit into their circle. A shrinking, timid way of doing things is not my way of survival.

I parked the car in the parking space, but I didn't get out immediately. It was still early, just past ten o'clock. The front of the car was facing east, and because the weather was clear, the sun was shining directly on me. I frowned and squinted slightly. The mirror on the sun visor was reflecting my face. Because I slept well last night, I looked very energetic. I began to look at myself in the mirror. I found that besides being tall, I didn't inherit any of Lin Hai's facial features. I was much more handsome than him. My curved eyebrows were very delicate, and under the high, straight bridge of my nose, my mouth was too stubborn. A pair of talking eyes were the most satisfying part of my face, and they softened my determined character.

It seems that a superior appearance hasn't brought me good luck. A wandering life has already ignored my looks. At this moment, I even began to doubt my origins. I'm not like Lin Hai, and I don't have that kind of inherent sense of closeness.

Looking at his love for Lin Yang, you can't say that he's a person without fatherly love, it's just that he doesn't have it for me, and that's the most obvious portrayal.

The more I analyzed, the more confused I became, and my temperament began to become suspicious. The car was still running. This Japanese car has been with me for seven or eight years. The longer it lasts, the more it shows the passage of time, and my own youth is also gradually fading away.

I pressed the elevator button. While going up, I took out my phone and looked at it. There were no missed calls. I wouldn't say I was disappointed, but I had a little expectation. After all, in order to find a way out for myself, accompanying them to drink was considered lowering my stance.

As soon as I stepped out of the elevator, I saw a person, a woman, to be exact, my mother. I was stunned for a moment. She actually found where I lived?

While I was still surprised, she spoke first: "A'Che, I finally waited for you."

"How did you find this place? Who told you my address?" My tone was not angry, just surprised.

"Mom has been asking around for several days."

"Who told you?" I asked again.

"You don't have to worry about that. If I want to find you, how can I not find you!"

When she said this, it made me a little angry. Looking into her eyes, I asked her loudly, "Then where did you go before? Now that I can support myself, why are you looking for me?"

She looked at the tightly closed anti-theft door opposite and replied cautiously, "Let's go inside and talk..."

I interrupted her: "What are you going inside for? You didn't look for me when I was three years old, so why are you looking for me now that I'm thirty!"

She took the key directly from my hand with a gentle movement, and replied while opening the door, "Do you think I could bear to leave you alone? Your father wouldn't let me enter the village. You used to live in the village, and his spies were everywhere. How easy was it for me to get in touch with you? Sometimes I could only watch you from afar. Seeing your grandmother treat you well, I was also very relieved."

As soon as the door opened, I went into the house before her. The sofa was messy, and the clothes I had changed yesterday were still piled on it. I reached out and pushed them aside to make room, sat down first, and then looked up at her. I instinctively began to look at her facial features. The eyes are very similar, but I can't say whether the other parts are similar or not!

Perhaps it's a woman's nature. She then cleaned up my dirty clothes. Her movements seemed very skillful, and her slender fingers didn't look like those of someone who does housework. I don't know how old she is. Overall, she looks well-maintained and not old. I'm already thirty, so she must not be young.

She took the cleaned clothes directly into the bathroom, and she seemed to know her way around. It wasn't until the washing machine made a rolling sound that she came over and sat next to me.

I don't know why, but I don't dislike her at all, including her close proximity. It seems like it should be like this by nature, mother and son connected at heart.

As a mother, she has been missing from this position for too long. Just as I was about to ask her, she touched my head. I'm not used to this action. First, I'm not a child anymore, and second, my mentality hasn't calmed down, so I instinctively turned my head to the side, avoiding her hand.

"What kind of job are you doing now?" My behavior didn't affect her at all.

"No job!"

My tone wasn't bad, maybe it was just stimulated by Chen Biao and Lin Hai, but the situation with General Li is also unclear. Continuing to stay with him will also be incompatible.
