Demolition Earth

Chapter 22 Gradually Begin
Almost everyone who is familiar with Lan Tian knows that he has a motto: "I am in a hurry."

Hu Fangfang remembered that Lan Tian kept saying this when she first fell in love with him.The first date of two people, she arrived 5 minutes late, Lan Tian said: "I am in a hurry, in our company, the price of 5 minutes is 500 yuan." The company was opened by Lan Tian, ​​​​and the rules are also set by Lan Tian Yes, later Hu Fangfang remembered that some employees scolded him when he resigned because of this "late fine", and said that he would go to court.Of course, Hu Fangfang also remembered that he had been working in that company for three years, until it was sold, and he himself had never been late once.

At that time, she often went to the company to see him, and once when she was in the toilet, she heard an employee next door complaining: "I bet, even if Mr. Lan is having sex with her girlfriend, he must be pinching his watch!"

It's a bit exaggerated, but... it's actually not wrong.

In Lan Tian's words, that is: "What's wrong with proceduralization? It also adds a little sense of ritual to the very primitive and emotional behavior. In ancient times, marriages were all procedural. One accepts the choice, the other asks the name, Three Najibs, four Najibs, five invitations, six weddings... You see, all of you women like this procedure very much. When you have a Chinese wedding, you have to repeat it again, and you still think it is romantic. Procedure usually means process Clear, repeatable and executable, with minimal risk and stable returns. Of course, if you disagree with the details of the procedure, we can discuss it and change the process steps...but the procedure itself is right."

From falling in love to getting married, Lan Tian has a plan every day, every hour.But this does not mean rigidity, in the face of many force majeure disturbances, he will also adjust the plan in a timely manner.When designing his plan, he will leave a certain amount of margin. During his honeymoon trip to Europe, Hu Fangfang remembers encountering flight delays three times, but he coped well each time.Later she learned that in his company at that time, the most important and core team was not doing business and management, but was responsible for making various plans. Before the company was sold, he even planned to give the company everyone Employees come to a work plan...

"A plan is always better than no plan."

"Those who don't plan for the future can't plan for a moment."

...Similar words are Lan Tian's catchphrase.Anyone who is familiar with Lan Tian can learn a few words vividly when talking about him at the dinner table.At that time, the joke that everyone made the most was: "Lan's head office is recruiting public relations, and the last question is, how can you persuade me to give up the plan for the next 24 hours... As a result, Lan's company has never been able to Can recruit people."

Hu Fangfang once complained in private about her husband's precision. Although this precision is efficient, it often means boredom.Even with some random little romance, it still can't shake the feeling that she's in a relationship with a robot.But after she had a child, she gradually changed her mind. For a mother, sometimes the rigidity of her husband becomes the best source of security.

She originally thought that her whole life would be smooth like this—her husband would resign in 3 years and try to set up a fund by himself; immigrate to Canada in 5 years, when her son was also at school age; if his business was successful in 10 years , he will go to a university to become a professor, and if he fails, they will buy a farm in Canada for retirement; 15 years later, no matter what happened before, he will start trying to get into politics, maybe starting as a mayor...

If these ideas are placed on others, most people will think that this person is dreaming, or that it is just a beautiful vision.But with Lan Tian, ​​Hu Fangfang has no doubts—because when she was dating, Hu Fangfang had seen the 15-year plan that Lan Tian, ​​who was in her early 20s, made for herself 15 years ago.At that time, he was just a young boy from the countryside who had just entered university, and his daily food expenses did not exceed 10 yuan. It was still in the university class that he first came into contact with the concept of finance, but at that time, he had already started In the diary, I plan to try to start a company at the age of 30, fall in love and get married at the age of 32, have a child the next year, change careers at the age of 35 and manage the operation of a fund...

Not to mention others, even Lan Tian himself sometimes thinks it is crazy when he looks at his diary.

But in the end it all became a reality.

If a stranger wins a coin toss bet with someone and wins the first time, it is probably luck; if he wins three times in a row, it means that he is very lucky today; Means; winning for a week in a row means that others want something from him and deliberately give money; A few years-then this coin tosser must be preparing to package the coin toss project for listing.

Anyone can talk big, like tossing a coin, but being able to keep talking and always achieving it is like tossing a coin and always winning. The ability behind this is not just as simple as speaking.

In Lan Tian's business circle, he can be regarded as some kind of miracle or benchmark. People who know him will come to him for consultation when they encounter any problems, and are even willing to pay him to be a consultant in the company.It is said that businessmen are somewhat superstitious, either Zongming, charlatans or intellectuals, Lan Tian is to some extent the object of their superstition.

Hu Fangfang also had this kind of superstition, thinking that she married an unusual husband. Every time she met her classmates, when everyone talked about her husband, their faces were full of envy and admiration.Her parents even regarded her husband as more important than themselves. Once when she lost her temper and went back to her mother's house, her parents persuaded her daughter not to "do it" and not to miss such a perfect man.

Later Hu Fangfang even thought so herself.

This thought was until a month ago.

At 11 o'clock one night, when Hu Fangfang discovered that her husband was not lying on the bed on time, but chatting with a headset, she felt a little strange. At that time, she just subconsciously thought of a sentence: "People change. "

But no one said that a person must maintain a certain way of life for the rest of his life, which is nothing at all. Hu Fangfang sometimes hopes that her husband will have the opportunity to find some hobbies and relax by herself due to the constant rigid life, so she ignores it, thinking that her husband is just Make a fresh picture.

But Hu Fangfang never imagined that her husband would change so quickly.

He seems to be possessed, wearing that headset every day, commuting in the company, holding meetings, and even meeting clients, even when he is meticulously eating with clients in a western restaurant, he always wears those broken glasses.

He started to stay up late and get up late, frequently turned off meetings and work, he would travel out of nowhere, chat with strangers he had never met, and send money to strangers frequently.

At the beginning, Hu Fangfang wondered whether Lan Tian was looking for Xiaosan outside, but after eavesdropping several times, she found that the voice in the earphone was obviously a man.Then she secretly looked for homosexual or bisexual information on the Internet, and compared many of her husband's behaviors and personalities one by one. She could match up a lot, but she couldn't find any evidence.

The situation quickly became more and more serious.

He started to take long vacations and traveled all over the country. For no reason, he spent tens of millions of dollars. She asked a few questions, but the answer was always one sentence: "Don't worry about money." He earns it and spends it on him. The most she can do is to take care of small things like what a few people wear and what they eat.On major financial issues, Hu Fangfang, a pure housewife, has no say at all.

Hu Fangfang wondered if her husband had encountered some kind of liar, so she asked her colleagues in the company and a few lawyers she knew. Their answers were: "A liar who can lie to Mr. Lan? Has he not yet been born? Don't worry, Mr. Lan." He must be secretly preparing some project... Don't you know about his sister-in-law?"

Hu Fangfang thought she understood, but she found that she really didn't know her husband anymore.He's changing so fast.

After thinking wildly, Hu Fangfang even felt that her husband was controlled by something?It’s not that bad, controlling people is all about controlling those poor people who can’t afford it. Lan Tian, ​​with his money and the speed at which he earns money, he can afford nothing in his life.

But things are indeed going from bad to worse.

Whenever the voice in the headset starts to speak, no matter what he is doing, he will stop, listen carefully to what the other person is saying, and put aside the real people and things.He would tell nasty jokes, political and military affairs, and his investment experience with the person on the other side of the headset. Many times, he could even chat and slap the table with a smile—Hu Fangfang had never seen him so happy before.

Finally, at the end, when they were preparing for intercourse and Hu Fangfang was about to take off her clothes, she found that her husband was still wearing this device!

She couldn't bear it at that time, thinking that her appearance might be seen by a stranger who didn't know the so-called, she felt that the husband in front of her began to become strange and scary.

Then they separated.

More than a week ago, the wives of several investors in their fund found me and treated me to a meal. At the dinner table, they mentioned that Lan Tian was about to resign—they were trying to persuade her to persuade Lan Tian to give up the idea.Hu Fangfang knows that her husband's fund manager has been doing a good job, helping them make a lot of money, and her husband has also made a lot of money. Although he said before that he would resign in a few years, that was a few years later, far from now.

Hu Fangfang found her husband at that time, and was going to have a serious chat with him about this topic. She even made the worst plan at that time-forced her husband to express his opinion, whether he wanted this family or the man in the earphone!After a month of tossing, Hu Fangfang kept lowering her psychological expectations. She felt that the probability of her husband being bisexual was already very high. Be restrained at home.

But obviously, the husband obviously didn't meet this bottom line. At the moment of the final showdown, his answer was only one sentence.

Lan Tian was still wearing that ridiculous pair of earphones and glasses, and walked into the coffee shop with a smile on his face, and when he looked at her, the smile on his face froze.Hu Fangfang remembered that he seemed to sigh lightly at that time, and then took out many documents from the bag, and she only knew the divorce agreement among them.Lan Tian spoke calmly, as if facing an ordinary business opponent: "Sign it, I'm in a hurry, the child, the house, the deposit, as long as you want, it's all yours, so get together and leave."
