Evolution from scratch with added points

On Monday afternoon, the weather turned from cloudy to sunny.

It was time to get off work, and everyone in the Hengtong Building was talking about someone in the risk control department who died suddenly of a heart attack.

As soon as the WeChat groups of various departments received the latest news from the hospital, they began to forward relevant obituary notices.

The obituary was written very carefully. The general meaning was that an accident occurred in the risk control department this morning. A group of group leaders had gone to the hospital to express condolences. By the way, they reminded the colleagues at work to pay attention to their health, to have a regular work and rest schedule, and to exercise regularly to prevent accidents. Happen again.

Judging from the writing style and format, it should be a template that the Public Relations Department temporarily scraped from the Internet.

As for the elevator after get off work, it was also crowded with all kinds of white-collar workers in a hurry, but the topics everyone talked about changed from the usual gossips in the entertainment and financial circles to such as: "I heard that the 17th floor Someone died!"

"I also saw the video posted! It's so scary!"

"It seemed like it was myocardial infarction. He was gone within a few minutes."

"Huh? It's gone in a few minutes? No, I'll go to the hospital for a physical examination this weekend."

"I heard that a very high-end gym has opened nearby. It seems to have an opening discount. Can we organize a group to sign up tomorrow?"

"..."

People nowadays are like this, living like sardines in a can.

Squeezed into a small office and tightly constrained by a one-sided information cocoon.

Basically no one will pay attention to unexpected things that don't happen to them.

It wasn't until a living life suddenly died unexpectedly that it sounded a life and health alarm for these dog-like white-collar workers.

Of course, Chen Jue didn't know how many people here would take action.

After getting out of the elevator, he still felt a little dazed and got into his SUV.

The stimulation of a blue liqun obviously couldn't relieve his temporary depression.

After getting in the car, he called Jiang Zhe and asked his best college roommate and best friend out with just "I'm in a bad mood. Let's go out for a drink."

As for the destination, I didn’t go to Jingtanghui again.

I had just lost a colleague, so it was obviously inappropriate to go to Jingtanghui to find a girl for spa treatment and a buffet dinner. Instead, I went to a vegetarian restaurant on Binjiang Road.

In recent years, the trend of healthy eating has slowly spread into Hangzhou. Although the business of barbecues and fresh seafood in the past is still booming, many restaurants that only serve vegetarian dishes and steamed vegetables have also appeared in the streets and alleys.

"Fourth, what's wrong with you?"

"Have you changed your gender? Have you started practicing vegetarianism like a monk?" Jiang Zhe entered the restaurant called Su Yuan Zhai with a suspicious look on his face.

The decoration is very nice and antique. Although it advertises vegetarian dishes, drinks are still served normally.

Chen Jue found an open-air seat to watch the river. After sitting down, he didn't say much. After ordering some delicious vegetarian dishes, he asked the waiter to bring two bottles of beer.

"Did you bring any cigarettes?" Chen Jue poured wine for Jiang Zhe and filled a glass for himself.

"Yes! There must be!"

"How can we not bring cigarettes when we go to the construction site?" Seeing Chen Jue's face written with stories, Jiang Zhe hurriedly took out a pack of Furong King from his arms.

Chen Jue didn't want to be picky. He took one and lit it for himself. He sat down and started sucking it silently.

"Fourth, what happened?"

"Why do you feel like you've fallen out of love?"

"That's not right! You don't even have a girlfriend... Could it be that you secretly went out to date girls behind our backs?" Jiang Zhe looked curious. This was the first time in all the years he had been in Hangzhou that he saw Chen Jue being so autistic. .

"Hi~hoo~"

After Chen Jue finished smoking one, he picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one breath. Only then did he tell the story of Shen Shikun's sudden death in front of his eyes.

Jiang Zhe was silent for a while when he heard that a good class actually ended up killing someone.

He picked up his own glass of wine and walked away from Chen Jue. He also sat there and lit one and started puffing away.

"Oh! What should I say about this? Your colleague is GG, and I don't blame you for this!"

"People are left to their fate in this world. Didn't our company work as an outdoor construction site for that rich man some time ago? Recently, there was a fatal incident. A worker fell from the scaffolding..." Jiang Zhe began to talk about his experiences at work. Try to enlighten Chen Jue.

…

The two of us just had a glass of wine, a cigarette, and a few mouthfuls of the hot dishes that were served. The cool autumn breeze blowing from the river slowly let our thoughts drift away, and the stories we told gradually increased.

It turns out that this is not the first time that Chen Jue has seen life passing in front of him.

When Chen Jue was in junior high school, his mother got cancer, and the family failed to save her.

My grandparents also passed away due to illness when I was in high school.

It's just that Chen Jue was still young at that time, in his adolescence, and his world view and outlook on life had not yet been fully formed, so he could not understand the pain of life, separation and death.

Until he saw the fat white man Shen Shikun suddenly died in front of him, the unpleasant memories in Chen Jue's mind began to come out bit by bit.

"Jiang Laoer, what do you think the meaning of our lives is?"

"I have worked so hard that I am almost 30 years old. I haven't lived this good life yet, and it will be gone if people say no." Chen Jue put down his wine glass, with a bit of confusion in his eyes.

"What else can a person do while alive?"

"Of course it's for hope!"

"You haven't gotten married yet, so you don't understand! When you get married, start a family, and have children, you will know what life is." Jiang Zhe walked with him and expressed his opinion.

Since the failure of his business, Jiang Zhe has basically focused on work every day in order to pay off his mortgage and support his family.

Although he works overtime every day to catch up on designs, the feeling of seeing his wife and two lovely children when he returns home makes Jiang Zhe feel doubly happy.

A happy family and healthy growth of children are Jiang Zhe's life pursuits and the life views of many ordinary people who live and work in peace and contentment.

"Looking forward to something?"

Chen Jue muttered something in his mouth, but the confusion in his eyes became more intense: "Then what is my hope?"

…

A dinner did not relieve Chen Jue's knot, but made Jiang Zhe depressed.

Because the pack of Furong King he just bought in the afternoon was touched by the bastard Lao Si who shouted that he wanted to quit smoking.

Because they were drunk, they each called for a driver to go back.

After returning to the talent apartment, Chen Jue took a hot bath to clear his slightly dazed mind.

Feeling bored staying in the room, Chen Jue put on a coat and went up to the top floor of the apartment with a few decks of playing cards in his pocket.

In the distance, stars lit up the CBD office building with office lights. There were countless migrant workers like him working overtime late at night.

As for the constant flow of traffic below and the street shops full of fireworks, they highlight the prosperous charm of Hangzhou, a new first-tier city.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Chen Jue, who was standing on the edge of the building and enjoying the evening breeze, couldn't help but muttered: "Human beings are so great and fragile at the same time!"

Although we can build so many majestic high-rise buildings, invent transportation that travels thousands of miles a day, can reach the moon in the sky, and catch turtles in the five oceans, we can't even completely solve a small myocardial infarction.

I can only watch helpless lives passing away due to illness and accidents.

I opened the box with some depression, took out a few playing cards and started flying one after another, aiming at the city skyline.

Those powerful playing cards swirled in the brightly lit night, pierced the sky, and flew out for tens or hundreds of meters. It was not until they encountered a gust of night wind that they were swept away and their posture was disrupted. Flying slowly towards the city streets.

Watching the scene of cards flying, Chen Jue gradually felt a sense of enlightenment.

He feels that people are like poker cards. Their money and status determine their numerical value, and their personality and temperament determine their suits.

The thrust of the shot determines where they fly and how far they fly.

Just like a person wandering around in this world with the crowds of people, being carried forward by time, environment and emotions.

Their final destination will not be determined until they meet the unpredictable wind of fate, whether it is illness, accident, or death.

If you want to make playing cards fly farther and more stable in the night sky, the superficial values ​​​​and colors are secondary. The most important thing is the material and weight of the playing cards themselves.

If people are put into the role of playing cards, then the material and weight are the human body and health.

Take the fat white man Shen Shikun who died suddenly. If he had not been addicted to fatty foods every day, he would have liked to exercise, maintained a good routine, would not have stayed up late for a long time, checked his mobile phone, and would not have clocked in to go to work and would have rested more at home.

Perhaps he would not have suffered a myocardial infarction suddenly like he did during the day, and his young life would have been ruined in just a few minutes due to various unhealthy factors.

【Ding~】

[Having witnessed death with your own eyes, you have received some kind of mental stimulation. Your brain's amygdala, hypothalamus, and hippocampus have experienced complex emotional fluctuations. You seem to have gained some kind of understanding, and your mental stress has been relieved. Release, your willpower increases. 】

"Has it gone up again?"

Chen Jue looked at the new prompt that popped up on the panel, glanced at the various urban night owls in his sight, and flew the last playing card in his hand into the air.

The slight odor of alcohol was blown away by the night wind. At this time, his mind was much clearer, and he began to gradually understand the meaning of Jiang Zhe's words, "Everyone has something to look forward to when he is alive."

"My hope and pursuit... is probably to have a healthy body, a free and unfettered heart, and find an interesting soul mate to accompany me..." Chen Jue said softly to the night sky of the city. own vision.

After saying that, Chen Jue felt that his depression was much better.

Instead of staying on the rooftop, he hurried downstairs because the playing cards scattered on the floor had already received complaints and protests from the sanitation aunt.

Second update~

This chapter is mainly about the inner description. It is probably Chen Jue’s first dragon field enlightenment~

A new plot stage will start tomorrow, and I will continue to ask for votes.
