"call……"

The fat man took a sip of cigarette beautifully. After a few seconds, he opened his mouth and vomited out the smoke: "People nowadays... are different from before. They have become lazy. They are lazy when they can be lazy. They are foolish when they can be foolish. Only when they can't hide, they will act diligently..."

"You're right." Liu Yang nodded: "The current trend is indeed very bad, but I believe it will be better in the future."

"From the future?" The fat man chuckled: "You are not a god and you don't know how to make a clever plan. How can you see what happens in the future?"

"I……"

"Maybe it will be worse in the future? After all, it is easy for human hearts to become bad, but it is difficult to become better. Anyway, I am not going to be good, and I will be like this in my life. I have to live by myself, and it will be a day. As for the future... I will just do whatever I want, and I won't care." At this point, the fat man blew up the ashes.

"You're a little selfish when you think about it this way." Liu Yang said.

"It's not that I'm selfish, but that this society forces me to be selfish. In this world, it's hard to be selfish or not. Everyone wants to be a good person, but will it be rewarding to be a good person? On the contrary, those bad people live a good life."

"Indeed." Liu Yang nodded: "I don't know how to do it. Being a good person will not be rewarded, but being a bad person will lead to a good life. This is indeed a big problem."

"Brother, we can meet today, which means we are destined to be together, and I am quite in love with you when I chat with you." The fat man reached out and patted Liu Yang on the shoulder: "I will say a few more words to you today. People nowadays...especially people with our identities are lazy, all foolish, only caring about their own interests, regardless of their lives or death."

Liu Yang listened quietly and didn't say anything.

"You think, everyone around you is lazy, but you are not lazy. Doesn't it seem special? What will others think of you? Praise you in person and say you are a fool in secret."

The fat man took a sip of cigarette and continued, "You can't be sociable for special people. You will be excluded unless you have a particularly strong background, otherwise... you can only be squeezed out in the end, and you may even cause big trouble."

"What you said makes sense." Liu Yang nodded: "If the general environment does not change, the problem of people's selfishness cannot be changed."

"Then let me ask you, why can't the environment change?" the fat man asked with a smile.

"This..." Liu Yang frowned, not knowing how to answer.

"Actually, you understand in your heart, and I understand in your heart, and others probably know what's going on, but... we can only pretend to be stupid but don't know. Only by pretending to be stupid can we keep our seats and live long." The fat man became more and more excited as he spoke, and some words were obviously taboos.

"Yes, there are quite a few people pretending to be stupid now." Liu Yang sighed: "Now... I can't say it."

"It has become like this, it's like having cancer, it can't be cured, it's time to delay it one day." The fat man was pessimistic, or did he see through the essence of this society?

Liu Yang shook his head: "Even if it's cancer... sometimes, luck is good, there is hope for cure, but... forget it, let's not talk about this anymore, let's talk about the meeting."

Some words do not need to be said too clearly, as long as everyone knows it in their hearts, but it will be meaningless if they say too clearly.

Besides, when Liu Yang met with Big Fatty for the first time, he didn’t know who Big Fatty was at all, so he should be careful when speaking and not say everything.

"A meeting is just a formality. It's no big deal. To put it bluntly, we just came to support us and sat in the conference room. Hey, it looks quite grand. The camera shot again and then edited it and released the video. It's a good news."

The fat man said a lot about the meeting. Liu Yang listened very seriously and would ask if he didn't understand.

Liu Yang could see that the fat man in front of him was a very extreme person. He always liked to look at things on the bad side and rarely thought about the good side. Moreover, Liu Yang also found that the fat man was very pessimistic, had no hope for the future, and did not know what he had experienced over the years, so he was so pessimistic.

At almost nine o'clock, people were there one after another.

It was not until half past nine that the big guys who presided over the meeting came slowly. The reason given was that traffic jams were on the road, so they came late.

Liu Yang shook his head, and the fat man was right. These big men were all sleepy, and two of them had eye drops. They seemed to have just woken up. Even though they knew that they were having a meeting today, they were still deliberately getting up so late, and their sense of responsibility was very bad.

When the meeting was first held, Liu Yang was still quite focused, but after a while, Liu Yang became a little tired.

What do you mean by this?

All of them are empty talk, clichés, nonsense, and nothing is useful at all.

It looks like that when you go there, you can take a look at the speech, and you can't speak without the speech?

After listening to it for a long time, Liu Yang was confused and didn't understand what was going on. No wonder the fat man said he was here to go through the motions. He was a waste of time, energy and money.

It costs a lot to hold such a meeting, and as for who will pay for the money... there is no need to discuss this issue.

On several occasions, Liu Yang almost couldn't help but want to say something, but in the end he thought of Zhang Guiming's advice, he swallowed the words he said.

Forget it, let’s not say it anymore. I’m just talking, but it’s useless to say it. No one cares at all.

Liu Yang glanced around and saw the fat man sitting in the last row, holding a pen in his hand, writing and drawing on his notebook, with a serious expression, but from Liu Yang's perspective, you can see that the fat man was painting a turtle...

That's right, I just painted turtles, and I have painted several of them.

Liu Yang couldn't help laughing. This fat man was interesting. He was talking on the top, and he was drawing a turtle underneath, and pretended to be taking notes very seriously. Aren't you afraid that the above people suddenly checked the notes on a whim?

After an hour and a half, the meeting finally ended.

Liu Yang immediately stood up and walked outside. He was now reluctant to stay here for a moment.

The fat man quickly walked over: "How is it? How is it feeling?"

Liu Yang shook his head: "It's boring."

"You'll get used to it a few more times." The fat man smiled and said, "Are you okay now? If it's okay, let's find a place to have a good chat?"

"Okay." Liu Yang nodded: "You can find a place. This is my first time in Beijing and I am not familiar with it."

...

Half an hour later.

The two sat in a teahouse.

Asked a pot of tea, some melon seeds and peanuts, and then the two of them started chatting while eating and drinking.

At this time, Liu Yang learned that the fat man was named Wu Desheng, who was a native of the capital. He was already forty years old this year. He divorced the year before yesterday, and his children and his wife went abroad. In other words, Wu Desheng lives alone now.

Liu Yang finally knew why Wu Desheng was so extreme and pessimistic. It turned out that he was stimulated. His wife took her children abroad to settle down and left him alone in the country. Because of work, he could not go abroad and could not see the children. How could he feel uncomfortable?
