...
While we were eating in the courtyard, Chen Jin came over again... I knew he must have come to talk to me about money, but I treated him like an expert on relationships. Before he could speak, I told him about the dream that had just puzzled me.
Chen Jin
He pinched his chin and replied, "Your dream isn't hard to understand... The reason you couldn't see that woman's face in your dream is that you're subconsciously afraid of seeing the outcome... But why are you afraid?"
"Yes, why would you be afraid?"
"Because you're currently in a transitional phase in your relationship, you're not prepared to make a choice at all... Without a doubt, the woman you love most is still Ye Zhi... But the girls around you are all quite nice too... So, you don't know where to place yourself in these relationships... But that's okay... As you become more and more desperate with Ye Zhi, you'll eventually see who the woman who invited you to dinner is... People can't live for fantasies; sooner or later, they have to face reality... You and Ye Zhi are just a completely fake dream!"
I didn't want to hear these words, so I chose to remain silent.
Chen Jin continued, "Dude, I really understand what you're thinking... Even someone as talented as Jin Yong had a woman named Xia Meng living in his dreams... Let alone us ordinary folks... But if we actually get her, is it really good?... Not at all, because your dream is gone... You'll only have a nagging woman by your side who makes you change her diapers and wash her underwear every day... So, don't try to make your dreams come true. Since it's a dream, it should remain beautiful in a place you can't reach..."
"Bullshit logic!"
"If you don't believe me, just wait and see... uh..."
As Chen Jin spoke, he seemed to remember something, then slapped himself in the face and said, "Damn it, that's really embarrassing... Your dream doesn't seem to involve hanging yourself in a place you can't 'touch'... I contacted Ye Zhi, and she asked you to take the contract you signed with the marketing department to the sales office this afternoon to see her... She'll sign it and transfer the prepayment to you."
"Didn't she just leave a few days ago?"
"They're back again... It's unclear whether it's specifically about this money..."
After a brief pause, Chen Jin continued, "Honestly, you two are quite pitiful... If you hadn't waited for over a year, she might have been able to let go. But you gave her your most devoted side... People are afraid of being unwilling to accept things, yet still not getting what they want..."
I knew what Chen Jin meant, but I still avoided the main point and replied, "He definitely didn't come back specifically for this... It's just a small amount of money; he could have just asked someone to sign off on it. There was no need for him to make the whole trip himself..."
"That's true, her time isn't something we idle people can waste like."
"Definitely. Binjiang Group has three projects in Dali, and they are all large projects. It's normal for her to be so active."
