Blackstone Code Chapter 247: Time is ruthless

Another busy day at work.

The reserved smile on Bennett's face disappeared the moment he got into the car, replaced by deep exhaustion, physical, and mental.

His wife called his office today, roughly meaning he didn't go back to see his wife's father during this time, which made his wife think they were being snubbed and treated undeservedly.

God is above, everyone knows who is the stronger party, but Bennett can only bear it silently.

The two had an argument - mostly Bennett listening to his wife's various complaints, then apologizing and putting up with it.

Promotion within a bank has very demanding requirements, and it is not as simple as being appreciated and capable, especially in such an important job as the credit department.

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

First, be cautious.

Secondly, it has undertaken a complete social responsibility.

The first one is very easy to understand. Don't do things that are too risky. In fact, this is not a complete one. The bank has a special risk assessment department. They will tell the superiors that their different decisions will bring predictable consequences. and unforeseen consequences.

The literal meaning of the second sentence 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 family that goes up one level, and a complete social relationship.

Federal sociologists, some crime research institutions have come to a conclusion after studying various cases over the years.

A person who has a stable family relationship in adulthood is significantly less likely to commit a crime than someone who has no family relationship, no marriage, no children, and no social interaction.

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

In fact, this is a kind of shackle that society gives to individuals in the process of development and evolution, and it is also the most suitable shackle for modern civilized society. part of this web.

Bennett doesn't plan to have too many conflicts with that woman in a short period of time. He also sees coming to Sabine as a turning point in his life. When he replaces Joe Grimman, he will consider Divorced from his wife.

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

The thought of this lifted his spirits a little.

As the car came out of the underground garage, several pigeons parked on the sidewalk trash can flapped their wings and flew into the sky.

With fewer and fewer birds in the city, it is difficult for them to encounter those who actively feed them, and they must hunt around in the cold winter for unlikely food.

This cold winter not only brings cold to people, but also makes animals feel the torment.

Bennett's car slowly parked in the parking lot opposite the strip club. He was wearing a trench coat with a stand-up collar and a wide-brimmed hat with a low brim. No one noticed him, let alone Will follow a guy entering a strip bar.

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

He found that he couldn't remember what his first girlfriend looked like. Under the torture of the ruthless **** of the years, the face that used to appear in his dreams every day has long faded and blurred.

The face in his memory was so blurred that he would never forget it for the rest of his life, and it was so blurry that he felt distressed again.

He once really thought that this love would never fade in his life, but obviously he couldn't.

Until...the girl's face gradually replaced that face. He didn't know if it was what he remembered, or if the two were really imagining it.

Family conflicts, secret fights in the unit, he shouldn't visit here one after another, but he instinctively wants to meet that girl.

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

The first moment he saw the girl, Bennett's spirit became so dazed. In his trance, he suddenly recalled a fragment from a certain period of time in the past. It was a sunny day in late spring and early summer. , in his memory he was chasing the wind, the wind was chasing a girl, and there was only joy in his heart...

Happy times are always short-lived. A satisfied Bennett took out his wallet and counted twenty dollars from it. Then he paused and counted ten dollars, for a total of thirty dollars. Money, he put the money into the girl's hands.

Actually, he can give girls more, and he knows in the deepest part of his heart that it's just a pleasure to trade with money, but whether it's based on his pursuit of some kind of false illusion, or because he doesn't want girls because of his Pity has become greedy, and he is restraining himself to give more money.

Just as he put the money into the girl's hand, he froze for a moment, and he noticed the bracelet on the girl's wrist.

It was a very old silver bracelet, and it had darkened badly in places, but Bennett could tell its origin at a glance.

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

The girl's expression is not as rich as before. At this time, she stuffed the money into her chest with a little indifference, "Sorry, sir, the service is over."

The one second she was before and the next second she was completely different, such a quick transformation was like a cold water poured on Bennett's head.

Yes, she has already completed one of her own services, and according to the regulations, she can leave.

But Bennett was a little anxious at this time. This bracelet overlapped infinitely with the bracelet he remembered. It was the first time in his life that he spent all his change for a girl. The bracelet embodies his most beautiful and purest feelings ever!

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

"Sorry, I scared you..." Bennett explained, his eyes still locked on the bracelet he increasingly thought he had bought for others, "Your bracelet is Where did it come from?"

The girl shook her head, "That's none of your business, sir."

She began to pack up, but there was nothing to pack. Seeing that the girl was about to leave, Bennett got a little excited and pulled out several twenty-dollar bills from his wallet, "Give me more. A live!"

The girl looked at Bennett a few more times, and she took the money and collected it, "If you can't do it, I won't give it back to you."

Bennett sat back on the sofa, he nodded, the girl wouldn't leave immediately, he calmed down a bit, "No problem, but you have to answer my question because I'm yours... "

The girl rolled her eyes and started a new job, and soon Bennett figured out the origin of the bracelet, it was given to her by the girl's mother, and he also saw the initials of the two names.

His calmed heart was a little excited again. The many conflicts in his family made him incomparably nostalgic for the original feeling without any impurities, which almost became a sacred yearning in his heart!

But soon the girl told him a fact he never wanted to know in his life.

"You know my mom?", the girl lit a cigarette after finishing her second job.

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

The girl smiled without 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 meet in my neighborhood ~IndoMTL.com~ will say that..." She seems to have a good sense of humor, just What she said wasn't very funny, "and they must know my mom better than you."

The silence lasted for a long time before Bennett suddenly said something he shouldn't have said, "You shouldn't be doing this!"

"You look down on me...", the girl threw the remaining cigarette butts on the ground, and she began to pack her things, "I know, look at the trench coat you're wearing, how much does that cost? Three hundred, five A hundred? Or a thousand?"

"Eight hundred and eighty dollars." Bennett replied softly.

The disdain and ridicule on the girl's face were even more, "Eight hundred and eighty yuan, sir, do you know how much I have to fiddle... to make this money?", she spat, her face full of There was some hatred, and her emotions also affected her actions to pack up.

She shoved those things into her bag as if she was beating, "I believe this is just one of the many items in your closet, why would you ask me for your suit?"

The girl looked up at him, "Do you think I like to nudge you...?" She raised her **** and slammed the door after scolding a female cousin.

Before Bennett realized that what he said was actually more outrageous than some of the things he did, a strong man walked in and looked at Bennett sitting on the sofa, revealing a Don't make people smile easily.

"Sir, please respect everyone, I don't want to be rough, I'm sure you don't want to get hurt, and we won't meet again, right?"

Bennett had insomnia that night. He didn't fall asleep until very late. He had a very strange dream. The vague memory was overlapping with another memory. In the dream, he experienced a lot, Extremely tired.

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