The flower city in May has already revealed a hot shadow.

In the afternoon, in an old Cantonese tea restaurant next to Tianhe Park, the old electric fan squeaked and the hot air was not very cold. The restaurant sitting at the door was already drowsy.

During this period, most people in Huacheng have had lunch, and there are still 2 hours before their most passionate afternoon tea time, so there are few customers in the tea restaurant, which looks particularly deserted.

No one noticed the man sitting at the table of the two people in the corner of the wall. They stayed there and talked after lunch and never left the seat.

No one went back to disturb them. This is the rule of an old Cantonese teahouse. As long as the customer has paid the order, no one will care about how long they will sit.

However, even a talkative person like Ren Pingsheng felt that he could not continue to talk.

Three days after coming to Huacheng, he finally met the legendary Zhang Xiaolong as scheduled, but found that he was helpless.

From the outside, he and Lei Jun are both simple and unpretentious, but Lei Jun likes to wear suits and tie up straight and upright; Zhang Xiaolong is wearing an ordinary shirt with open collar cuffs. When the weather is hot, he simply rolls the sleeves of the shirt to his elbow.

Although he has been in Huacheng for many years, Zhang Xiaolong still has a Jing Chu accent in his words. He doesn't speak loudly and his speed is not fast. It seems that every sentence can only be expressed from his throat after deep thought and familiarity.

The most profound impression that this man with an ordinary appearance left Ren Ping's life was his eyes.

The pair of eyes is very dark and bright. Although they are middle-aged, they are still full of curiosity. Combined with the pair of thick eyebrows, they give people a feeling of thinking all the time.

As mentioned in the legend, Zhang Xiaolong is a very taciturn person. From the beginning of meeting, Ren Pingsheng is talking most of the time. He occasionally answers a few words, but never takes the initiative to raise topics.

It would be great if Zhang Xiaolong could say five words.

Lei Jun was indeed right. Zhang Xiaolong was just a "silent oil bottle". His extremely restrained and unsightly personality is indeed very suitable for R&D, and he has the style of a veteran programmer in the last century.

However, Ren Pingsheng, who has always been known for his strong words, found that his talents were useless in front of a taciturn person like Zhang Xiaolong.

Starting from sitting down, Ren Pingsheng, based on his previous understanding of Zhang Xiaolong, started with Hong Kong and Taiwan films he was interested in, talked about long-distance self-driving tours, the scenery of the Western Regions, Tubo and other places, and also talked about Zhang Xiaolong’s favorite rock music.

On the topic of rock music, Zhang Xiaolong's words became active. When Ren Pingsheng asked about his favorite singer, Zhang Xiaolong's eyes lit up and he said two names.

"Wang Feng?"

Ren Pingsheng expressed surprise at the Chinese singer Zhang Xiaolong liked.

With Ren Pingsheng's understanding of Zhang Xiaolong, he thought he would speak about the more elegant Chinese rock pioneers of the Beyond Band and the Tang Dynasty Band, but Wang Feng is a highly controversial rock musician.

Although he made his debut in China as the band "No. 34 Baojia Street" very early and became one of the first famous rock musicians in China, because of his strong commercialization of his later creation and singing style, he has been questioned whether he is still following the path of rock music.

Zhang Xiaolong said only one sentence:

“There is an undepressing vitality in his song.”

Ren Pingsheng began to understand the middle-aged man in front of him.

As college students who graduated from the China-Enterprise and Unit era, Zhang Xiaolong, like Yu Xin, Zhou Hongyi and others, were all assigned to work in enterprises and institutions, but they soon escaped the increasingly rigid system and went to Huacheng, Shenzhen and Hong Kong, and other cities that were the first to open to work.

Although Zhang Xiaolong, Yu Xin, Zhou Hongyi and others are not in the same way, and he has not started his own business, nor has he become a new internet celebrity early, he still has a career aspiration that is about to emerge and an ambition that is unwilling to be mediocre.

For a man who looks simple and can express words, there is no idol that can express his inner yearning better than Wang Feng, who is passionate on the stage.

So, Ren Pingsheng nodded slightly and replied:

"Rock music is all against the existing system, reflecting dissatisfaction with reality. This kind of dissatisfaction and resistance is the most vital. Dissatisfaction means that you are very energetic and vital. If you are satisfied with everything and satisfied, it has become a very ordinary and mediocre state."

Zhang Xiaolong's eyes showed surprise. It was obvious that Ren Pingsheng's words hit a part of his heart. His eyes looked at the man opposite him much more intimately.

Before meeting, Zhang Xiaolong's understanding of Ren Pingsheng was limited to the interaction between the two on Fanfu. Although he did not know Ren Pingsheng's true identity, Ren Pingsheng's knowledge and judgment of Internet products during the Internet interaction made Zhang Xiaolong deeply feel the same.

Therefore, even though he learned that Ren Pingsheng's true identity was an Internet investor and was the chairman of several companies such as Wanyou Games and Weibo, Zhang Xiaolong did not avoid seeing him because of the competitive relationship between Ren Pingsheng and the Tengxun Company he belonged to.

Although Zhang Xiaolong didn't talk much during this meeting, his views on Ren Pingsheng have been raised to a higher level.

Although there are differences between the two in many ways,

Zhang Xiaolong is taciturn and is good at eloquence throughout his life.

Zhang Xiaolong is restrained and lets go out of his life.

But both of them saw each other's dissatisfaction with the status quo. This dissatisfaction will not be alleviated by the accumulation of material and wealth, because this dissatisfaction is accumulated deep in the heart and a challenge to self-worth.

Apart from Ren Pingsheng, Zhang Xiaolong only saw this quality in another person.

That person is the one who brought Zhang Xiaolong to Tengxun Company.

Looking at Ren Pingsheng's solemn eyes, Zhang Xiaolong said slowly:

"Two years ago, I attended a ten-year reunion of classmates from Huazhong University of Science and Technology. In the class of 33 people, several people couldn't call my name, and there was also a female classmate who said she didn't know me at all."

Zhang Xiaolong smiled with some self-deprecating smile and said lightly:

"They have theirs, I have nothing."

Ren Pingsheng was able to understand the loneliness in Zhang Xiaolong's eyes. He had tasted this feeling of "a unique body, walking in the noisy and prosperous" in his previous life, so he could better understand Zhang Xiaolong's mood at this moment.

He looked at the other person's eyes and said in a deep voice:

"Ununderstood is the fate of innovators."

Countless fires flashed in Zhang Xiaolong's eyes, but he was silent for a long time before he gently sang an English lyrics:

“you  say  i'm  wrong,  but  you'd  better  prove  you're right.”

Ren Pingsheng smiled slightly and responded:
