Simple moral valuesThe meeting with President Wang, the president of Alibaba’s Local Life Services Group, was held at a restaurant in a riverside hotel.

Lin Yuan and Zhang Yan arrived early and waited. Looking at the cargo ships and cruise ships coming and going on the river, Lin Yuan suddenly felt a sense of exhaustion.

”What do you think I’m doing all this for now? I am the origin of causality, so can I terminate this causality?”

”What do you mean? Do you want to kick me out?” Zhang Yan’s tone was very relaxed.

”It’s not that I want to kick you out, but I’m afraid of your father.” Lin Yuan thought for a moment, ”Actually, it’s not fear, but annoyance. I just feel like these things are so annoying. What am I doing every day now? What do the things I do every day give me, and do they help this world in any way?”

”Then let’s go now? Find a place to sort out our relationship properly.”

”How to sort it out? My current feeling is that I’m stuck between a rock and a hard place. I’m stuck between a rock and a hard place in every matter.”

”You’re not going to deal with the dispute with Good Group?”

Lin Yuan thought for a moment, ”I’ll still deal with it. After thinking about it, I still can’t swallow that anger.”

”Isn’t that it? Brother, I really understand you. I’m also fed up with my family, and my old man, he’s just so annoying. But I can’t completely cut ties with them.”

”That’s different. That’s your home, something you were born into. But my current troubles, I feel like I brought them on myself.”

Zhang Yan said lazily, ”You’re deceiving yourself.”

”I’m deceiving myself?”

”The problems you’re facing now, my dad explained them very clearly to me when I was a teenager.” Zhang Yan then began to comfort Lin Yuan, ”I was rebellious from a young age. Later, on my sixteenth birthday, my dad didn’t prepare any gifts for me. He forced my grandparents not to interfere with me, rented a hotel for me, and made me live alone for a month.

At that time, I picked up bottles from trash cans.

You might not believe it when I say it. I was staying in a hotel that cost seven or eight hundred a night, and what I looked forward to most every day was the hotel’s breakfast buffet. Because that bastard father of mine only gave me a phone and didn’t leave me a single penny for living expenses.

My lunch and dinner had to be earned by picking up and selling bottles.”

Lin Yuan listened with some curiosity, ”Then why didn’t you hide some food when you ate the breakfast buffet?”

”That bastard father of mine had already thought of that. As long as I hid something, the challenge would automatically fail.

I persevered for a month, and then I understood.

I was born to rely on my family, and I’m not someone who can endure hardship.

Finally, my dad and I agreed that I could continue to be rebellious, but not too much. As for him, he only asked me to recognize reality, and he was willing to indulge me a little.”

”Brother, you’re a smart person. If you dissect yourself, you’ll understand everything.”

Lin Yuan savored Zhang Yan’s words. He knew it wasn’t that Zhang Yan had become profound, but that she was merely sharing her personal experiences.

”Are you telling me to face reality?”

”Something like that. Just like me, I don’t want to accept my family’s arrangements, but I can’t completely go against them either. So I found the current balance point—living the life I want, and ignoring everything else. My dad also doesn’t dare to push me too hard, because if he pushes me too much, I’ll...

Anyway, that’s the idea, you’ll understand if you think about it yourself.”

Lin Yuan mused, ”I want to get even with Good Group, but I also hate all the social interactions that come with it. And I must face reality: I can’t deal with Good Group by myself, and if I want to leverage others, I can’t avoid these back-and-forth hassles.”

”Exactly. It’s like if it were just me, and I insisted on moving into your house, you definitely wouldn’t pay attention to me. At this point, I realize how useful my own father is, perfect for scaring you. Isn’t that how the world is? Nothing ever goes exactly as you wish.”

Lin Yuan continued, ”I can’t let go of the idea of achieving success and fame, but at the same time, success and fame will naturally create a distance between me and Xia Ye. Xia Ye will naturally look up to me because of it. The barrier between us will inevitably appear.

So, this is also an objective law.

Little sister, you understood everything all along.”

Zhang Yan looked at the river outside the window, ”I never said I didn’t understand, you just always treated me like a silly deer.

Brother, I’ve been really good to you. According to the usual script, there wouldn’t be any Xia Ye involved.

You have to understand, and Xia Ye also has to understand.

Because if you don’t understand, the first one to get hurt won’t be anyone else, but yourself.”

Lin Yuan pondered slightly, ”It seems your father educated you very well from a young age.”

”That old man? I have to thank him for being the youngest daughter in the family; if he hadn’t had children late in life, how could he have let me mess around like this?”

”You have older siblings?”

”My eldest brother is over forty.”

”Ah?” Zhang Yan’s information was like a mystery being unveiled layer by layer, which made Lin Yuan feel even more that her family was not simple.

”Brother, don’t worry. You can either jump into the Huangpu River right now, and then all your troubles will be gone. Don’t worry, even if I value you, I won’t jump with you.”

Lin Yuan said angrily, ”Are you even speaking like a human? You might as well advise me to castrate myself.”

Zhang Yan pouted and thought for a moment, ”That actually is a solution. If you became a eunuch, I wouldn’t mind. Anyway, you’d be sleeping with Xia Ye at night, it’s just whether Xia Ye could accept it.”

Lin Yuan suddenly realized something. If he had to talk about who appreciated and understood him the most, he had to admit, it was still Zhang Yan more than anyone else.

”Senior Brother, the problems you and Xia Ye are facing have been encountered by many successful people before. Many of those who left their hometowns to start a revolution later changed their wives. You can’t say they were unfaithful. Because the outside world is different, there’s nothing that can be done about it.

I see that Song Xiaoxiao, who is with Xia Ye, is very perceptive.”

Lin Yuan chuckled self-deprecatingly, ”Are you finding excuses for me to be a scumbag?”

”Don’t force me to open old wounds.”

”What old wounds?”

Zhang Yan leaned closer to Lin Yuan and said solemnly, ”If you were still a delivery driver, would Xia Ye have looked at you?”

Lin Yuan blurted out without thinking, ”Xia Ye did say: she wished I was still a delivery driver, so no one else would look at me except her.”

Zhang Yan laughed, ”I had similar thoughts before I was sixteen. But my thoughts changed in just one month. My dad often said: people won’t learn in a hundred lessons, but they’ll learn in one experience. What have you and Xia Ye experienced together? Have you suffered hardships together?”

Lin Yuan had to admit that his relationship with Xia Ye had actually been very smooth, without experiencing any difficulties.

Zhang Yan said faintly, ”Do you want me to arrange a life experience lesson for you?

You’re ruined, dirt poor.

Xia Ye also got into graduate school at Purple Arts.

You deliver food every day, earning a meager income.

She attends various high-end art gatherings every day, dressed glamorously.

I’m suddenly quite looking forward to such a script.”

Lin Yuan rolled his eyes at her, ”Is it interesting to treat others like guinea pigs?”

”Senior Brother~~, I’m just making a suggestion. But I see you don’t seem to dare to try.”

”Testing human nature is meaningless. What if only one of us could live right now, you and I?” Lin Yuan retorted.

Zhang Yan didn’t think much, ”Then I would definitely kill you first. And I also accept that you have the same thought. But if our feelings truly reached that point, to the point where I’m willing to die for you, then I can still calmly accept that you’re not willing to die for me in return.

My dad told me a long time ago: only with a clear conscience can you live freely.

So, Senior Brother. You might as well spend more effort cultivating a relationship with me.”

Lin Yuan was somewhat exasperated, yet he didn’t know what to say.

”My dear brother. You can’t let go of Xia Ye, it’s nothing more than your simple moral compass. But I don’t intend to persuade you to change, because I still admire your foolish moral compass.

Alas~~, but everything has a price.

The price of me admiring your moral compass is having to endure you holding Xia Ye every night.

But I’ve thought about it carefully, letting you remain who you are now is far more important than possessing you.

Hmm~~, that’s it.”

”Get lost!” Lin Yuan replied with a short and forceful word.
