He Xiangdong and Gao Bingsheng have known each other for many years. Gao Bingsheng is a top-notch celebrity in the crosstalk industry. He Xiangdong knew Gao Bingsheng's name decades ago.

But the two never met. Before He Xiangdong became popular, their identities and status were undoubtedly very different, so He Xiangdong had never seen Gao Bingsheng's real person.

It was not until He Xiangdong became popular that He Xiangdong's social interactions really expanded. However, the real contact between the two still began when Yun Ji and Xie Quan left Xiangwen Club, and Gao Bingsheng stood up for them and supported them in the exhibition.

These years have passed and many things have happened. He Xiangdong has also thought about his relationship with Gao Bingsheng carefully.

In fact, Gao Bingsheng has given him a lot of trouble and has also squeezed him many times, but unlike those people, He Xiangdong has never resented Gao Bingsheng in his heart.

He was just alert and was unwilling to have too much contact with Gao Bingsheng. After all, this person's scheming and means are too powerful. He Xiangdong is not underestimating himself, but in terms of scheming and means, He Xiangdong is really far from his opponent.

During this period, Xiang Wenshe had many major events. At the most dangerous time, Xiang Wenshe almost fell apart. He Xiangdong was even ready to wander around.

But at this most critical moment, it was Gao Bingsheng who helped him break the deadlock. It can be said that Gao Bingsheng has great kindness to Xiang Wenshe.

Now Gao Bingsheng asked He Xiangdong to agree to something, but how could He Xiangdong not agree? This is repaying kindness.

"Please say it." He Xiangdong looked at Gao Bingsheng sincerely.

Gao Bingsheng sighed slowly, and without looking at He Xiangdong, he looked out the window and said slowly: "It's not a big deal, just... don't let Xiang Wenshe finish it. And... there are black and white everywhere, and there are good and bad. The system is not all bad people and waste. If one day the system is gone, I hope you can be more tolerant of them and help if you can."

He Xiangdong was silent for a long time, and suddenly he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. It felt like he was talking about it. It was hard to describe it or describe it. He just felt that his nose was so sore.

After a long time, He Xiangdong nodded: "Okay, don't worry, I will help if I am a talent, and I have a good character. I welcome them to Xiangwenshe to show us together."

Gao Bingsheng looked out the window and nodded slightly.

The noodle restaurant fell into silence again, and only the owner cleaned up the slightest sound from the kitchen.

It took another long time to pass.

Gao Bingsheng looked at the small pond outside the window for a long time, and Gao Bingsheng asked, "He Xiangdong, do you think there are fish in the pond?"

He Xiangdong replied: "Yes."

Gao Bingsheng looked back at He Xiangdong and asked, "Do you think you are in this pond?"

He Xiangdong stopped slightly, and then nodded heavily.

Gao Bingsheng said: "The pond is good, with a lot of nutrients and sufficient nutrition. Any fish with a big belly can eat enough. There are a few particularly powerful ones that can make them fat and strong, and become real big fish. However, if the pond is good, there will be bad. If you want to make a living here, you have to abide by the rules here."

He Xiangdong was silent.

A faint smile appeared on Gao Bingsheng's face. The ones he had before were always warm smiles. He was smiling now, but it was not the kind of signature and gentle smile. The smile now seems more sincere and makes people feel friendly.

Gao Bingsheng looked at He Xiangdong and said, "He Xiangdong, you used to be a wild fish active in the mountain stream. Although you eat very little, you are better than freedom. But now you are in the pond, and you eat everything in the pond. Since you are in the pond and enjoy the food given to you by the pond, you have to follow the rules of the pond."

"You can't eat other people's things and drink other people's things, but you don't care about them. There is no such reason. You can't occupy the good things in the world alone. Just as Western philosophers said, people are born free, but they are in shackles."

"He Xiangdong, since you have chosen to leave the world, since you have chosen Zhan Xiangwenshe, since you have chosen to be in this pond, you can no longer be as free and comfortable as before. He Xiangdong, it's not that you can't see through this, but that you are unwilling to see through it."

"You are developing better and better towards the literary society, and will show faster and faster. Similarly, the shackles on you will become heavier and heavier. I know there are people behind you, and I also know that you are unwilling to ask the person behind you. Maybe that person will help you when you are in danger, but he can help you a few more times. In the final analysis, you still have to rely on your own."

"He Xiangdong, Xiang Wenshe is the hope of crosstalk. For Xiang Wenshe, it is also for crosstalk. He Xiangdong should see through it, and you should make a choice."

Hearing this, He Xiangdong was silent for a long time.

...

After the two parted, He Xiangdong went home. He Xiangdong did not come to pick him up. He was just walking alone on the road.

It's very late at night.

He Xiangdong was walking alone, and there were no pedestrians on the road, only cars on the street were whistling by.

He Xiangdong didn't know how long he had been walking or how long he had thought about it. Suddenly, he saw an old-fashioned 28 bicycle on the side of the road, one was very broken, and you could tell at a glance that it was a discarded bicycle.

He Xiangdong suddenly laughed, and he thought about the past when he first arrived in Beijing, he rode such a broken bicycle from Lao Xiangwenshe to the suburbs every day, running back and forth.

Thinking about it now, I have not ridden a bicycle for years.

He Xiangdong suddenly became interested. He wanted to ride the bicycle. So He Xiangdong walked forward, regardless of whether the car was dirty or not, he turned over and went up.

After pedaling a few times, the bicycle made a few wailing sounds, creaking, and staggeringly.

These two broken bicycles were comparable to those of He Xiangdong back then, but they rang everywhere except for the bells not ringing.

However, He Xiangdong was so angry that he was not so tired when riding. This one was deflated, but it was normal. After all, it was abandoned, so why would anyone cheer it up?

Although he was very tired, He Xiangdong rode very happily. He kicked hard, laughing while riding, and screaming while laughing.

Being arrogant, like crazy and devil.

"I was originally a scattered person in Wolonggang. I rely on my yin and yang to gain knowledge of the past and the present. The late emperor went to Nanyang to command the Three Qingshu, and expected that the Han family business would be divided into three parts. The official title was the Marquis of Wuxiang to take charge of the seal..."

The last time He Xiangdong sang like this was 13 years ago, in the summer of 1996, in Tianjin, on the eve of He Xiangdong preparing to enter Beijing to explore.
