When I got home on the weekend, my daughter gave me a small card that I made by myself, which said: Happy Father’s Day. I only knew that Sunday was Father’s Day.
On the afternoon of the festival, I thought that a friend, Dr. D, had been wanting to make an appointment with me, so I contacted him, and he said he wanted to invite me to dinner, and emphasized that he should bring his wife and children with him.
I also thought that Mr. Z from the same city and I could also chat with me, and we had chatted with Dr. D online for a long time, so I called him, he asked his wife for instructions, and then happily went to the appointment, and we all got together and chatted.
At the restaurant in the shopping mall, Z always brought two bottles of “Guizhou water” with a temperature of 53 degrees, and insisted on drinking a little wine: “No wine can’t be a meal.” I laughed and said: I really didn’t expect that two friends in a large real estate company would have time to socialize during the big weekend. It seems that the real estate industry is indeed not as good as before.
The three middle-aged men said with emotion that there are no events in the shopping malls on Father’s Day, and the merchants may also think that middle-aged men have no commercial value. It is said that it is Father’s Day, and it is Mother’s Day with the daughter-in-law, and Children’s Day with the children. Middle-aged men are not as good as dogs – so I insist on not having dogs at home.
During the dinner, Dr. D said that he took a stake in his boss’s probiotic startup company. In the eyes of the boss, he almost gave up the business. He took part in and took charge of the company himself, and became a shareholder boss by working part-time. He told me not to do anything else, but to find something to do for myself that I have a passion for—he sent me a box full of probiotics the next day, so that we could experience the charm of biotechnology.
After Mr. Z shared his stock market investment experience with us, he told us that he had set up a new media company to use short videos to attract traffic to market houses for his part-time employer. Be your own boss and achieve your goal of becoming rich. He laughed and said: He has always been avant-garde, open-minded and tossing, even if he is middle-aged.
Chatted with Dr. L from the UK for a while at night. After going through so many big factories, he finally settled at the Microsoft Cambridge Research Institute in the UK. The work should be easy, because we are separated by jet lag, he chats and blows water during working hours with me who is about to go to bed at night, which proves that he is fishing.
Both Dr. L and I feel that our age group lacks passion and seems to have no purpose in life. The family business is stable, the children are growing up slowly, the food and clothing are basically settled, and everything is peaceful. He even said that even married life has become a routine. Looking at himself who is no longer young, he and I feel that what is lacking the most is a feasible goal.
However, when he listened to me mentioning the story of two friends starting a business, he said that he did not dare to take risks and did not like risks. He had previously said that the money in Paypal should be transferred to the bank account – afraid of problems with Paypal, I’m even more so, I don’t care if the extra money is in the bank account.
Mr. C has maintained a personal blog site for nearly ten years, and the writing is very talented. He once said that when filling out the form, the occupation column reads: Blogger. Recently, he asked me to help update and maintain the website, but due to his own reasons, the domain name hosting website could not be logged in and gave up. After thinking about it, he said lightly: Forget it, delete all these online data. Live your life online.
Mr. C probably doesn’t want to appear publicly on the Internet, as if those thought-filled words never happened. Even when I suggested a possible website recovery plan to him, he insisted: give up the website eventually.
I am reminded of a sentence from “Book of Changes”:
When heaven and earth change, vegetation grows; when heaven and earth are closed, wise men are hidden.
