Xu Ke sent Han Debao away, and after breakfast and grooming, he went to the hotel to look for Wang Xiaosong. Xu Hark knocked on the door of Wang Xiaosong's room, and Wang Xiaosong's voice came from the room, "Please come in!" Xu Hark walked in and saw Wang Xiaosong on the phone. Wang Xiaosong covered the microphone and said in a low voice: "Japan Long Distance." Then he pointed to the sofa and motioned Tsui Hark to sit down. Wang Xiaosong continued to call: "Yes, yes, I understand... I will try my best to mediate... It's hard to say now, because I haven't formally contacted the discussion topic. Mr. Wu has gone to Hong Kong and will be back tomorrow... Yes, yes, definitely pay close attention……"

He went on for a while, and finally put down the phone. He sat on the bed, looked at Tsui Hark with kind eyes and smiled. Tsui Hark raised his face and ignored him. Wang Xiaosong said with a smile: "People haven't changed much, but their temper has grown! Why didn't you ask me a reason and scolded me on the phone? And the voice was so loud that Mr. Miyamoto could hear it." Tsui Hark deliberately said angrily: "What? You think it's a great thing to have a Japanese name? Can't you scold me?" Wang Xiaosong said: "You scolded me and then came to see me again. I'm so unmotivated."

Tsui Hark interrupted him: "Look at you? I only know one Wang Xiaosong, but not a guy named Kazuo Miyamoto! I'm here to see another Mr. Miyamoto." Wang Xiaosong said: "So that's how it is. The other Mr. Miyamoto has gone out, so he can only come back at night!" Tsui Hark said, "I'll sit here and wait!" Wang Xiaosong said: "Then, I'm going out too, you just sit here and wait!" He said, got up and pretended to go out. Tsui Hark shouted, "Stop, you boy!" Wang Xiaosong turned around, and Tsui Hark got up from the sofa. They stared at each other as if they were about to fight.

Wang Xiaosong whistled lightly—the song "Nanjing Song" was very popular among educated youths. Tsui Hark also blew. For a long time, they looked at each other, laughed, and threw themselves together—unexpectedly, Tsui Hark did not hug Wang Xiaosong, but bent down to lift him up and threw him on the bed. Wang Xiaosong shouted: "Good boy, come with me!" He also jumped towards Tsui Hark, and the two began to compete in the room. Xu Hark pressed Wang Xiaosong on the bed again, and Wang Xiaosong's head hit the wall with a "boom". Wang Xiaosong shouted: "Ouch!"

Tsui Hark said: "I didn't accept me back then, but now I have to accept it?" Wang Xiaosong held his head, tilted on the bed and groaned. Tsui Hark panicked, leaned over, pushed him lightly, and asked uneasily, "Xiao Song, Xiao Song, don't scare me..." Wang Xiaosong moaned: "My... eyes are dark, and the world is spinning..." Tsui Hark was very anxious: "This... Do you want me to help you to the infirmary?" Wang Xiaosong said: "I... I'm afraid I won't be able to stand up." Tsui Hark believed it was true: "Blame me, blame me! I'll carry you..."

He really turned around to carry Wang Xiaosong on his back, but Wang Xiaosong pressed heavily on his back, pushing him to the ground.Wang Xiaosong smiled as if he was taking advantage. Tsui Hark said: "You! How come you don't take any losses now? You bumped your head, and it's worth playing tricks and tricks to get revenge?" The two came to each other's aid. Suddenly Wang Xiaosong couldn't help wrapping his arms around Xu Ke's neck, put his head against his head, and said in a low voice, "I miss you!" Tsui Hark said without moving: "I believe it. When I hid my debts and went to Shenzhen, I missed you very much. I didn't have close friends, no buddies, and even, when I needed help, I couldn't meet a warm-hearted person. , not meeting a fully trustworthy person, that kind of situation of being away from home, that kind of loneliness, can almost crush a weak person to death. What's more, you are abroad."

They stare at each other. Wang Xiaosong said: "Many contemporaries envy me, but I know that the United States is not a paradise, and neither is Japan..." Wang Xiaosong put his arm off Tsui Hark's shoulder and sat down on the sofa. Tsui Hark said: "There is no heaven on earth at all, there is only the world. People everywhere are actually pretty much the same." He also sat on the sofa. Wang Xiaosong said: "Heaven and hell are both human fantasy. Only the world is real, which is between the two kinds of fantasy. When I grow up, I understand that living in the real world is the most difficult thing."

Tsui Hark asked: "You are Wang Xiaosong, and you are Kazuo Miyamoto, which one feels better?" Wang Xiaosong smoked and smiled wryly: "When I was Wang Xiaosong, I felt that I was more or less myself. When I was Kazuo Miyamoto, I felt that I was almost not myself. But when I was the former, I was in the eyes of others. I am mediocre, and I often have low self-esteem. When I was the latter, I was promising in the eyes of others, and I was often complacent... Kazuo Miyamoto, I never expected that one day I would You will need a Japanese name to prove something to others and to yourself."

Tsui Hark patted the back of his hand understandingly: "Come back, let's not be Kazuo Kanmoto, but Wang Xiaosong." Wang Xiaosong shook his head: "I've already...I can't come back." Tsui Hark: "I don't understand..." Wang Xiaosong said: "There is not one less Wang Xiaosong in our city, just as there is not one more Miyamoto Kazuo in Tokyo." Tsui Hark said, "I still don't understand." Wang Xiaosong continued to explain: "I will have nothing when I come back. Everything has to be started from scratch, and in Japan, I am a senior employee."

Tsui Hark said: "If you want, at least you can find a position equivalent to a senior employee in Zhenqing's company!" Wang Xiaosong shook his head: "In comparison, I would rather my boss is not my friend from childhood to youth." Tsui Hark said: "On this point, my opinion is exactly the opposite of yours." Wang Xiaosong asked: "Then why don't you go to his company?" Tsui Hark said: "It's not that I didn't have this kind of idea. Being a master is not a long-term solution. But you don't know his temper? He didn't change much when he became a boss. If one day he also treats me roughly Rough voice, can I bear it?"

Wang Xiaosong said: "Even if he treats me like a guest all day long, I can't stand it. Friends sometimes manifest themselves as a very hypocritical relationship!" Tsui Hark coughed and said, "Why are we talking about Zhenqing behind our backs? Let's not talk about these tiring topics. It's almost noon, can we have lunch together?" He looked at Wang Xiaosong with a pleading gaze.Wang Xiaosong hesitated for a moment, then readily agreed: "Okay!" Tsui Hark said: "I know you are busy, but I should give this honor..." He looked at his watch and asked again: "Is there any water? I want to take a shower first. I haven't washed for three days, and my whole body feels tight. .” Wang Xiaosong said: "Yes, I will put water for you." Wang Xiaosong came out of the bathroom after turning off the water, and saw that Tsui Hark had been stripped down to his underpants—he found two scars on Xu Hark's chest and shoulders. Wang Xiaosong asked: "Whose handwriting is this?" Tsui Keman said nonchalantly: "Back then in Shenzhen, I met a buddy who liked to practice wild grass on others with a knife. Later, we became close friends. My experience after returning to the city can basically be expressed in the following words: In a nutshell—one finger was lost, two scars were added, hundreds of thousands of dollars were saved, and he joined the ranks of Xiye in this city. Xiye is a parasite, and Xiye is a factor of stability. I wholeheartedly support reform, whatever you want, as long as you don’t lower bank deposit rates. Mr. Xi is firmly opposed to social unrest, and Mr. Xi supports further amendments to the constitution.” Wang Xiaosong smiled: "Come on, don't announce your Master Xi's declaration to me!" He pushed Tsui Hark into the bathroom. Tsui Hark yelled in the bathroom: "This is the water you put in for the class brothers? It's so hot!" Wang Xiaosong sat on the sofa, staring at Xu Hark's clothes on the bed in a daze.
In the past, people who had money often wore new ones, but now they wear old ones when they have money; in the past, patching was simple, but now patching is high-end; Only a piece of pure cotton cloth is considered fashionable... The times have become so natural... These clothes are not the packaging of people? And the times turn people into their own packaging.Five hundred years later, people don't know what to wear and how to wear it?Bees five hundred years later must have the same hexagonal structure. Who is more self-aware and confident, man or bee?
After taking a bath and getting dressed, Xu Ke saw Wang Xiaosong thinking deeply, and said, "Why are you staring at my clothes? My coat is not cheap, it's a famous brand. It's more than one thousand yuan!" He glanced at Wang Xiaosong and said : "Take it off, I'll wear yours to find out how it feels." Wang Xiaosong silently took off the clothes and handed them to him. Tsui Hark put it on and asked, "How is it?" Wang Xiaosong said: "It's full of grace." Tsui Hark said: "Thanks to the compliment, I will wear yours." Wang Xiaosong said: "I have no choice but to say, I am grateful for the face." He put on Tsui Hark's premium jacket.The two looked at each other and smiled. Tsui Hark and Wang Xiaosong changed their clothes and went downstairs to the restaurant together for dinner, but the waitress almost mistook them. The two walked into the dining room and sat down.Tsui Hark asked, "Who pays the bill?" Wang Xiaosong didn't understand: "What is the bill? What is the bill?" Tsui Hark taught Wang Xiaosong a lesson: "What's the matter? Where did you go abroad, but instead went to the soil? Paying the bill is the language of the new Chinese groups nowadays—who pays the bill?" Wang Xiaosong said: "Of course it's you! If you pinch China's emerging bourgeoisie, if you pinch nothing, you won't pinch it." Tsui Hark said casually: "Then you are the loyal assistant of the foreign bourgeoisie!" Wang Xiaosong couldn't help showing sullen expression. Tsui Hark knew he had made a slip of the tongue, so he quickly smiled: "Just kidding, don't take it seriously. Since I pay the bill, you have to follow my feeling from now on!" He hummed softly, "Follow your feeling, pay the bill tightly hands..." Tsui Hark ordered a table of dishes. Wang Xiaosong stared and asked, "Why did you order so many?" Tsui Hark raised his beer glass: "How much? Not too much! Eat slowly and chat while eating!" He added, "Deep feelings, boring mouthfuls, strong feelings, vomiting blood, loyalty, and watching actions!" He drank it down. Wang Xiaosong also drank it all in one gulp. Tsui Hark drank a glass of wine, and began to talk endlessly: "The education we received in the past is to keep in mind that being rich is not benevolent. But now, I have begun to betray my mind-poverty is the root of all evil, and it is the root of all kinds of evil. The ugliest of all ugly phenomena. Once a person has money, he becomes self-confident without self-confidence, he becomes beautiful even if he is not beautiful, and he sings well even if he is not beautiful. Money can maintain self-esteem, and money can redeem sins. There is an American The movie is called Easy Deal, have you seen it?" Wang Xiaosong shook his head. "It's about two brothers, a pair of mischievous old men with billions of dollars. One day, on a whim, they made a $1 bet to turn a black young man with nothing and a naughty naughty into a gentleman ; At the same time, they want to turn a well-educated young man with a promising career and a full moon in love into a guy who has lost the minimum sense of shame. As a result, they succeeded easily. The method is very simple. Push one into the A series of setbacks and failures. And use the power of money to throw luck to that black young man again and again...do you find it boring?" Tsui Hark found that Wang Xiaosong seemed a little absent-minded. Wang Xiaosong quickly said, "No, no, I think it's interesting." In fact, Tsui Hark didn't know that Wang Xiaosong's mother, younger brother and younger sister were waiting for Wang Xiaosong to go back to have a reunion dinner at home.At this moment, the young driver who was driving Miyamoto appeared and was looking for Wang Xiaosong at the entrance of the restaurant. When Wang Xiaosong saw it, he said to Tsui Hark, "Someone is looking for me" and got up to meet him in a hurry.The driver said something to Wang Xiaosong, and Wang Xiaosong came back in a hurry, and said very apologetically, "I can't accompany you to eat this meal. I have something to do, so I have to leave immediately." Tsui Hark looked dull: "Do you have to go?" Wang Xiaosong said: "We must go! Really!" Wang Xiaosong hurried out of the restaurant with the driver, got into the car, and drove to the gate of the park like lightning. The driver brought Wang Xiaosong to the playground and found Miyamoto riding on a wooden horse and waving to them. Wang Xiaosong turned to the driver and asked, "Didn't you say that he was detained by the security personnel?" Said the driver, "He told me to say that—he said otherwise he couldn't have tricked you into coming here." The carousel stopped.The official jumped down, walked up to Wang Xiaosong proudly, and said, "As expected! Apart from going home to visit my old mother, I just read a book by an unknown female writer, and I didn't even take a photo with me. filmed." Wang Xiaosong was suddenly furious, and slapped Miyamoto hard: "You bastard!" He turned to the driver and yelled, "Send me back immediately!" Back at the hotel restaurant, Tsui Hark was no longer there.The table they had just sat on had a new tablecloth.Wang Xiaosong looked at the empty table in a daze...
