Reborn, I want to be the richest man!

It was dusk, I dragged my tired body and pushed open the door. The silence in the house surged towards me like a tide, and the coldness pierced my heart. The lights in the living room were dim, as if they were sighing silently. Xiaolu sat in a corner of the sofa. Her figure looked a little lonely in the dim light. Her eyes were full of resentment and fatigue, just like a flower that was devastated by the wind and rain. It was no longer beautiful, but full of melancholy. She flipped through a magazine casually in her hand, but she hadn't turned a page for a long time. Her mind was not on it at all.

I slowly approached and whispered, "Xiaolu, I'm back." She raised her eyes slightly and glanced at me. There was a hint of indifference in her eyes, like the cold wind in winter, which instantly made my heart tighten. "You came back so late, do you still know that there is such a family?" Her voice was obviously dissatisfied, and her tone was full of deep grievance, as if a volcano that had been suppressed for a long time finally erupted, pouring out the resentment in her heart.

I felt guilty and wanted to explain: "The company has too many things to do recently, and I really can't get away." But when the words came to my lips, I felt so pale and powerless. I looked at her, my eyes were full of helplessness and self-blame, like a bird trapped in a cage, struggling hard, but unable to break free from the shackles of reality.

At this time, my son Xiaoyu walked out of the room. He hung his head, his eyes revealed a trace of loss and alienation, and his originally bright eyes were now like stars covered by dark clouds, losing their former brilliance. He glanced at me, and instead of rushing over to me cheerfully as usual, he just muttered in a low voice: "Dad, you are always not at home." The childish voice was filled with deep disappointment, like a sharp blade, gently cutting my heart.

I squatted down and wanted to hug him, but he slightly turned sideways and avoided my hug. At that moment, my heart seemed to fall into an endless abyss, and an unprecedented sense of frustration surged in my heart. "Xiaoyu, Dad knows he is wrong, and he will spend more time with you in the future." I resisted the bitterness in my heart and tried to squeeze out a smile, but that smile seemed so far-fetched in this depressing atmosphere.

At the dinner table, the atmosphere was still dull. Xiaolu silently served me a bowl of rice, but without the tenderness and concern of the past. I looked at the food in front of me, but I had no appetite, and my heart was like a mess, tangled and entangled. "Xiaolu, I know I have neglected you during this period, I will adjust. The company is now at a critical stage, there are many challenges that I need to deal with, but I also understand that family is equally important, you are my strongest support." I tried to break the deadlock, looking at her sincerely, my eyes were full of guilt for her and attachment to the family, as if a traveler who lost his way in the dark finally found the harbor in his heart, just hoping to get her understanding.

Xiaolu put down her chopsticks and sighed deeply. A touch of emotion flashed in her eyes, but it was quickly replaced by worry, like a leaf swaying in the wind, not knowing where to go. "I know you are busy with work, but we also need your company. Xiaoyu has been asking me why my father doesn't accompany him recently, and I don't know how to answerAnswer. You are working hard for your career outside, but we can only stay at home in this empty house. It feels like this house is no longer a home. "Her voice was a little choked, tears rolled in her eyes, and the crystal tears were like pearls that had broken off the string, slowly sliding down her cheeks and dripping on the table, splashing tiny water drops, each drop was full of her sadness and helplessness.

I reached out and gently held her hand. Her hand trembled slightly, and the cold touch made me feel distressed. "Xiaolu, give me some time. When the company gets through this difficult time, I will definitely make it up to you. "I said softly, my eyes full of determination, like a soldier who made an oath on the battlefield, and will keep his promise no matter how many difficulties and obstacles there are ahead.

At night, I lay on the bed, looking at the ceiling, and my heart could not calm down for a long time. Xiaolu turned her back to me, her body curled up slightly, as if she was bearing the indifference and loneliness of the world alone. I know that it was me who made this family lose its former warmth and laughter. In the pursuit of career, I inadvertently deviated from the track of family.

I fell into deep contemplation, and the images of career and family kept interweaving in my mind. Career, that is me The stage where I have fought for many years carries my dreams and ambitions. Every time I overcome difficulties and make breakthroughs, it is like climbing a steep mountain. Although it is difficult, it is also full of a sense of accomplishment. The company is like a giant ship sailing in the rough sea of ​​​​business, and I am the captain who shoulders the heavy responsibility of steering the ship, leading all the crew through the wind and waves to the other side of success. The development of new markets, the battle with the mysterious organization, every decision and every action is related to the life and death of this giant ship. How dare I give up easily? Retreating means that all previous efforts will be wasted. The expectations of employees and the trust of partners will all be in vain. flow. I seemed to see competitors gradually gaining a foothold in the new market, while the advantages we worked hard to build were being eroded bit by bit; I seemed to see the conspiracy of the mysterious organization succeeding step by step, and the company falling into an abyss of no return. In this fierce business battlefield, how can I slack off in the slightest?

But family, it should be a safe haven for my soul, a warm harbor where I can rest assured when I am tired. Xiaolu's gentleness and thoughtfulness, Xiaoyu's innocence and cuteness, and the laughter and joy in those ordinary days were once the most precious treasures in my life. Now, because of my negligence, this harbor has gradually lost its former warmth and become I felt lonely and desolate. I couldn't help asking myself, what was the purpose of my desperate pursuit of career success? Wasn't it to create better living conditions for my family and make them happy? But if in the process, I lost their company and the warmth of the family, then what was the meaning of all this so-called success?

I seemed to be standing at a crossroads in life, with both sides of the road being extremely important, but difficult to have both. Continuing to devote myself to the career may bring the company greater success, but it may deepen the rift in the family and eventually become irreparable; and putting the importantMy heart was completely transferred to my family, but I couldn't let go of the unresolved problems in the company. They were the hard work of my team and me for many years, and they were also the expectations of countless people.

Every night of tossing and turning was a torment of inner struggle. Sometimes I thought that maybe I could hold on a little longer, and when the crisis in front of me was resolved, I would have more time to accompany my family. But I was worried that this so-called "crisis" would be endless, and the alienation of the family would completely devour us in the waiting. I tried to give my family more care in the busy work intervals, a phone call, a text message, but the cold screen could not convey the warmth and guilt in my heart after all.

I remembered Xiaolu's support and encouragement in the early days of my entrepreneurship. She took on the trivial matters of the family without complaint, so that I had no worries. When Xiaoyu was born, I promised with joy that I would accompany him to grow up and watch his every progress. Now these promises are like candles in the wind, swaying and about to go out. I am afraid of losing them, but I am also afraid of losing the results of my years of hard work in my career. This contradictory mentality is like a double-edged sword, constantly stabbing my heart.

During the company's meeting, I would suddenly lose my mind and think of Xiaoyu's eyes looking forward to my company playing; when I was at home with my family, I would be haunted by the company's affairs and problems. Every vibration of the phone was like an inner earthquake, making me painfully choose between company and work. I knew that this state was not good for my family and career, but I was deeply trapped in it.

I knew that I had to make changes, but every attempt was like groping in the dark, unable to find the perfect balance. I started trying to get up early to prepare breakfast for my family, but the busy pace often made me busy and confused. The fried eggs and burnt bread seemed to be laughing at my clumsiness. When I was doing homework with Xiaoyu, I would be interrupted by the company's emergency call. Looking at Xiaoyu's disappointed expression, I was full of self-blame.

However, I also knew that I couldn't sink. Deep in my heart, I warned myself that no matter how difficult it was, I had to find a way to protect my family and achieve my career. I began to re-plan my working hours, improve my work efficiency, refuse some unnecessary social activities and trivial matters, focus more on key matters, and try to make more time for my family.

In this endless entanglement and struggle, I realized that career and family are not two ends that are incompatible with each other. There must be a balance point that allows me to take care of both. However, the process of finding this balance point is destined to be full of difficulties and challenges. I need to plan my time more reasonably, improve my work efficiency, and go all out when the company faces important matters. At the same time, I must also ensure that I leave enough time for my family, even if it is just a simple meal together, playing games with Xiaoyu, and listening to Xiaolu talk about family matters, that is also a protection for the family.

In the days that followed, I tried to adjust my work schedule. I would take a little time every day to call Xiaolu and Xiaoyu, even if it was just a simple greeting. Xiaoyu's voice on the phone gradually became a little cheerful: "Dad, when will you come home to play with me?" That full of expectationThe tender voice of the child waiting for me was like a beam of warm sunshine, penetrating the haze in my heart and making me more determined to return to my family.

Although Xiaolu still didn't say much, I could feel a hint of relief from her tone. "Don't work too hard, take care of yourself." Her advice was brief but full of affection. Her light care was like a spring breeze, gently blowing through my heart, letting me see the light of hope to repair family relationships. I know that there is still a long way to go to completely resolve this family crisis, but as long as I have love in my heart and have responsibility and commitment to my family, I will be able to regain the lost happiness and warmth.
