Another busy day's work.

The reserved smile on Bennett's face disappeared the moment he sat in the car, replaced by deep fatigue, physical and spiritual.

His wife called his office today, which roughly means that he didn't go back to see his wife's father during this period, which made his wife think they should not be ignored and treated.

God in the world, in the end who is the strong side, everyone knows, but Bennett can only bear it silently.

The two had a quarrel - mainly Bennett listened to his wife's complaints, then apologized and put up with it.

The promotion within the bank has very strict requirements, which is not only appreciated and capable, especially for important jobs such as the credit department.

In such a position, a person can have many small problems and may not have much ability, but they must have two requirements that are somewhat funny in some people's eyes, but are the default rules of the society.

First, be cautious.

Second, it has undertaken complete social responsibility.

The first one is very easy to understand. Don't do things that are too risky. In fact, this can't be regarded as a complete one. Banks have special risk assessment departments. They will tell the superior that their different decisions will bring predictable and unforeseen consequences.

The second literal meaning is relatively difficult to understand, but its core is very simple, that is, there is a complete family, including their own family, as well as a level up family, as well as complete social relations.

Federal sociologists and some crime research institutions have come to a conclusion through the study of various cases over the years.

A person who has a stable family relationship in adulthood is significantly lower than those who lack family relationship, no marriage, no children and lack social interaction.

Marriage and family are a kind of social responsibility. In a relatively relaxed and acceptable way, it is a person's responsibility. When people have responsibility, they will restrict themselves.

In fact, this is a kind of shackle given by society to individuals in the process of development and evolution, and it is also the shackle most suitable for modern civilized society. It will make a person deeply trapped in an invisible net, unable to struggle, and finally become a part of this net.

Bennett doesn't intend to have too many conflicts with that woman in a short time. Coming to Saibin is also regarded as a turning point in his life. When he replaces Joe griman, he will consider divorcing his wife.

Anyway, he doesn't have much property, even if he gives it all to the other party, it doesn't matter. From then on, he can start a new life.

At the thought of this, his spirit was a little uplifted.

When the car came out of the underground garage, several pigeons parked on the dustbin beside the sidewalk fluttered into the sky.

There are fewer and fewer birds in the city. It is difficult for them to meet those who take the initiative to feed them. They must look for unlikely food everywhere in the cold winter.

This cold winter not only brought cold to people, but also made animals feel suffering.

Bennett's car slowly stopped in the parking lot opposite the strip club. He was wearing a stand collar windbreaker and a wide brimmed hat. The brim of the hat was very low. No one noticed him, let alone a person entering the strip bar.

He had a wonderful experience here yesterday. When he went back, he recalled everything in the past. The result was very sad.

He found that he could not remember his first girlfriend. Under the devastation of the ruthless bastard of years, the face that once appeared in his dream every day had already faded and blurred.

The unforgettable face in his memory was so vague that he felt heartache again.

He once really thought that this love would not fade in his life, but it was obvious that he couldn't.

Until... The girl's face gradually replaced that face. He didn't know what he remembered, or whether they really imagined it.

Family conflicts, unit infighting, he should not have patronized here one after another, but he instinctively wanted to see the girl.

After showing the VIP card, he ordered the girl again in the VIP area. The girl changed a suit today. It was a pink dress with some yellow flowers on it.

At the first moment of seeing the girl, Bennett's spirit was in a trance. He suddenly recalled a fragment in a certain period of time in the past. It was a sunny day in late spring and early summer. In his memory, he chased the wind, the wind chased a girl, and there was only joy in his heart

Happy times are always short. Contented Bennett took out his wallet and counted twenty dollars from it. Then he paused and counted ten dollars, a total of thirty dollars. He put the money into the girl's hand.

In fact, he can give more to girls, and the deepest part of his heart also knows that this is just a joy traded with money, but whether it is based on his pursuit of some false illusion or not wanting girls to become greedy because of his pity, he is restricting himself to give more money.

When he put the money into the girl's hand, he was stunned. He noticed the bracelet on the girl's wrist.

It was a very old silver bracelet. It was very dark in some places, but Bennett saw its origin at a glance.

He grabbed the girl's wrist, but unexpectedly, the girl broke free.

The girl's expression was not as rich as before. At this time, she slightly coldly stuffed the money into her chest, "sorry, sir, the service is over."

The second before she and the second after she are different, such a rapid change is like a touch of cold water on Bennett's head.

Yes, she has finished one of her services. According to the regulations, she can leave.

But Bennett was a little anxious at this time. This bracelet coincided infinitely with the bracelet in his memory. It was the first time in his life that he spent all his change for a girl. That bracelet reposed his best and purest feelings!

He still remembers that on the back of the second clover of this bracelet, there will be two abbreviations, which are the abbreviations of his and his first love.

"Sorry, I scared you..." Bennett explained. His eyes were still focused on the bracelet he had bought for others. "Where did your bracelet come from?"

The girl shook her head. "That has nothing to do with you, sir."

She began to pack up her things. In fact, there was nothing to pack up. Seeing that the girl was about to leave, Bennett pulled out several twenty dollar bills from her wallet with some excitement, "give me another job!"

The girl looked at Bennett more. She took the money and put it away. "If you can't, I won't give it back to you."

Bennett sat back on the sofa. He nodded. At this time, the girl won't leave immediately. He calmed down a little, "no problem, but you must answer my question, because I'm yours..."

The girl rolled her eyes and began her new job. Soon Bennett found out the origin of the bracelet. It was given to her by the girl's mother, and he also saw the abbreviations of the two names.

His calm heart was excited again. The numerous contradictions of the family made him incomparably nostalgic for the original feelings without any impurities, which almost became a sacred longing in his heart!

But soon the girl told him a fact he didn't want to know in his life.

"Do you know my mother?", after the girl finished her second job, she lit a cigarette.

Bennett nodded awkwardly. "Your mother and I used to be good friends."

The girl smiled with a smile. This expression annoyed Bennett. "I'm not kidding. I really know your mother."

The girl raised her eyebrows and nodded, "yes, at least half of the ten men you met near my house will say so..." she seems to have a sense of humor, but what she said is not very funny, "and they must know my mother better than you."

The silence lasted a long time. Bennett suddenly said something he shouldn't have said, "you shouldn't do this!"

"You look down on me..." the girl threw some remaining cigarette butts on the ground. She began to pack her things. "I know. Look at the windbreaker you wear. How much does that cost? Three hundred, five hundred? Or one thousand?"

"Eight hundred and eighty dollars," Bennett answered softly.

There was more disdain and ridicule on the girl's face, "880 yuan, sir, do you know how many words I have to say... To make this money?", she spit, there was more hatred on her face, and her mood also affected her action of packing things.

She wrestled hard and stuffed those things into her bag. "I believe this is just one of many things in your wardrobe. Why do you ask me with your suit?"

The girl looked up at him. "Do you think I like to talk about your...?" she raised her middle finger, scolded a woman's watch and slammed out of the door.

Bennett didn't realize that what he said was actually more excessive than some things he did. A strong man came in. He looked at Bennett sitting on the sofa and showed a not relaxed smile.

"Sir, please respect everyone. I don't want to be rough. I believe you don't want to get hurt, and we won't meet again, will we?"

That night, Bennett lost sleep. He didn't sleep until very late. He had a strange dream. The vague memory was overlapping with another memory. In the dream, he experienced a lot of fatigue.

When he opened his eyes after dawn, he made a decision that he wanted to change the girl.
