To You, My Beloved

The wife of the old president smiled openly and corrected Tang Shi: Lao Luo and I are not in love, but in friendship.

Tang Shi's hand holding the wine glass paused but said nothing.

The old president's wife stood up, smiled kindly at Tang Shi, and left.

The old president smiled and picked up the flask, filled Tang Shi with wine, and then explained to Tang Shi what his wife had just said: My wife and I have been work friends for many years, and later we got married. Marriage is indeed not about love, but mostly about friendship, and now it’s all about family.”

Maybe people like to reminisce about the past as they get older, so the old president said to Tang Shi: I once had a girl I liked very much, but that was just my wishful thinking. I chased that girl for seven whole years. For years, I didn’t catch up with her, and finally I watched her marry someone else.”

Tang Shi's demeanor had always been very quiet. When he heard the old president say this, his expression condensed slightly.

The old president continued: I have never given anything so crazily in my life, but those seven years were the seven years I gave the most unreservedly. At that time, I worked and my monthly salary was only dozens of yuan. Money, but I tried my best to spend it on her. She also had a younger brother. When we got married, I couldn't collect enough money to give the bride a bride price. I also paid for the money. I took all my belongings and gave it to her. , after giving it, I only had one penny in my body.”

This bottle of wine has been treasured by the old president for most of his life. It is really good wine. It tastes mellow and sweet. Tang Shi couldn't help but drink another glass, and then he spoke and asked: You have paid so much, but you didn't get it in the end. How can you be so content with it? ?”

I'm not willing to give in. Of course I'm not willing to give in. When I heard that she refused to marry me, I wanted to chop her with a knife. The old CEO said frankly to Tang Shi without hesitation: Then I really took an ax and hid in the sorghum field, ready to chop the man to death. But she was there at the time, kneeling on the ground and told me that you can’t force feelings. She was very grateful to me. But he really doesn’t love me.”

The old president held the wine glass and took a sip of wine: Later, I gave up and went abroad. I accidentally made a lot of money and started to start my own company. The better I got, the better I got. When my company went public, , I went back to China and saw her once. At that time, she was riding a bicycle, sitting in the cold wind, sending her son to school, while I was sitting in the BMW, blowing the warm wind, but I saw It turned out that she lived a very happy life, and I no longer had the unwillingness and impulsiveness I had when I was young. On the contrary, seeing her happy made me feel at ease.

The old CEO picked up the wine glass, raised it to Tang Shi, and drank it in one gulp: People only care about everything when they love deeply, but it does not mean that you will get what you love deeply, and love until the end. What you long for in your heart is her happiness, even if that happiness is not given by you, you will still feel satisfied.

Tang Shi didn't say anything, but followed the old president and drank the wine in his glass in one gulp.

After dinner, the old president took Tang Shi around his newly renovated courtyard and showed Tang Shi the antiques he had collected throughout his life. Then he asked someone to make a pot of sobering tea for Tang Shi to drink before giving it to him. Tang Shi left.
