Chapter 32 32

Lao Wang made a rare appearance at the company on Wednesday afternoon.

Walking into the visual department with a grin from ear to ear, he first patted Chen Gong's shoulder and then Zheng Yi's shoulder, overjoyed: "All the money from the three companies arrived last night—you guys Everyone quickly applaud these two little brothers: this year's year-end awards are all won by them for you!"

The visual department cheered.

Everyone knows that Pharaoh is happy—not only because he still received a lot of orders in this year's sluggish market environment; but also because his two "right-hand men" finally shook hands and agreed to the outside world.

Zheng Yiyi was blown away when he was praised: "Small meaning, thank you Lao Wang for approving it!"

Old Wang stared with a "tsk" and said, "It's not big or small!——Who is it called Old Wang!"

"The word 'old' means respect and admiration—the children in the department usually call me Lao Zheng, and I am 'downward and upward effect'!" Zheng Yi argued for himself, and even dragged Chen into the water: "I said Isn’t that right?—Old Gong!”

This title caused another burst of excitement in the department.

Chen Gong's mouth was not so fast, and he couldn't join in the gag. When Zheng Yi called him this way, he just raised his head and smiled indifferently - although the smile was indifferent, it lingered on the corner of his mouth for a long time.

Zheng Yi secretly mocked Chen Gong as an idiot: "Old Gong" can poke his point, which makes him happy; stupid man, is it so important who goes up and who goes down? ——After thinking about it, I realized that I have no position to mock him... After all, I am also in the same boat.

After the excitement in the department was over, Lao Wang asked Zheng Yi to go to the meeting room.

Yao Jiaren hadn't laughed enough, and teased Chen Gong in a low voice: "Where's Anshuang?"—Assigned to assist Cheng Shen in charge of the implementation of the "three-in-one" project, Yao Jiaren's position was changed to a place close to the director's position.

Chen Gong was directly exposed by Yao Jiaren. He gave him a glare first, and then felt that there was nothing to hide in front of Yao Jiaren, who was too clear-sighted: "Is my expression obvious?"

"Fortunately—I know the cause and effect, so I can see it."

Chen Gong was annoyed: "Have you finished reading the plan?—Don't wait for Cheng Shen to come back later, and ask you about the progress."

Yao Jiaren curled his lips and smiled: "Brother Chen can't control me, so he uses Cheng Shen to suppress me?"

"That's because Cheng Shen can hold you down! It saves me management energy—this is called the art of manipulating people!" Chen Gong imitated Zheng Yi's tone and put on the airs of the management.

Yao Jiaren moved back the swivel chair, pursed his lips and smiled.

This room, Zheng Yi, was called to the conference room by Lao Wang, and as soon as he sat down, Lao Wang asked with a smile, "Is there any progress?"

"Oh, the progress..." Zheng Yi took stock: "Chen Gong's plan has been confirmed by the three parties. Tomorrow, I will take Qiu and the person in charge of the model company to a suburban hotel to confirm the scene and discuss the set. needs, and then we will almost start to arrange the implementation. The interactive show is currently planned to be arranged two or three weeks later—before the winter vacation—the time is indeed a bit rushed; but Beijing is different from other cities, and the population of foreign students is relatively large; consider The hotels and clothing companies are targeting the student market, and the winter vacation is a consumption peak that cannot be missed, so we decided to reduce the time cost of curating exhibitions in exchange for greater promotional benefits."

Zheng Yi reported smooth execution rhythm without drafting, and Lao Wang was stunned for a while: "Mr. Zheng has really changed——Chen Gong is really a good guy!"

Zheng Yi was unhappy: "Why do you only praise him after I've changed?"

"You can change without him?" Lao Wang smiled gratifiedly: "Okay, you two can discuss it. I don't worry about this-I'm asking about the progress of you two!"

Zheng Yi smiled cheaply: "You old straight man, why are you so gossip?"

After finishing speaking, I was given a brainstorm by Lao Wang.

Zheng Yi rubbed his head: "Kiss to the mouth - kiss anytime! Kiss if you want! Hehe!"

Old Wang was surprised: "Isn't that what happened?"

"No...he still refuses to date me—to use his words: Playing with friends." Zheng Yi was a little frustrated when he said it, but Zheng Shi was frustrated and turned the page in two seconds; he was happy again: "The day before yesterday He took the initiative to kiss me once!"

Old Wang smiled like a boiling kettle: "I've seen many people beg for a title from a nobleman... It's the first time I've seen a nobleman beg for a title from a poor boy--strange Strange!"

When Old Wang said that, Zheng Yi himself felt quite funny: "Okay...don't make fun of me..."

"I'm not teasing you. Chen Gong is a straight guy—I mean he's straight-tempered and has no flair, so it's hard to coax. But that's the way it is said, but in fact, the more such a person, the easier it is to deal with..." Old Wang cited his life experience Come: "He is a person who is on guard against you, but he is still willing to get together with you, which means that he likes you too; be more patient, and you will take him down sooner or later!"

Zheng Yi sighed, not daring to fathom the length of this "sooner or later".

"At first you contacted me after you returned to China. I originally wanted you to go to the marketing department—but then I thought about it. You are too hot-tempered and you are a related account. One day you will offend all my customers, and no one dares Whatever you do, what should I do then? I just put you in the visual department—because there is Chen Gong in the visual department, he is stubborn. Although I gave you the position of director, it also let Chen Gong oppress you—he oppressed you, You, an active volcano, can live in peace." Lao Wang's current expression is obviously very pleased with the decision he made at that time: "You are a volcano, so don't feel wronged by melting an iceberg—it's all mutual. Yes, he is pouring your anger on you too."

Zheng Yi curled his lips: "It sounds like the two of us are 'a match made in heaven'."

"At work, at least. In life, I don't have a hand in what you two do—be patient!"

"Okay." Zheng nodded: "Don't worry, I have that patience."

After educating Zheng Yi, Wang Yao left the visual department, and when he passed the smoking room, he saw Chen Gong inside again.

He came in and asked Chen Gong for a cigarette: "Xiao Zheng is not bad."

"Not bad." Chen Gong nodded in approval: "He came up with the idea of ​​the three-in-one project."

"I admire it!" When talking about the achievements of his favorite general, Lao Wang nodded repeatedly.

"I admire." Chen Gong followed suit.

Old Wang smiled: "Do you admire it? Does it count for letting him climb into your bed?"

"I never promised him this!" Chen Gong choked on Lao Wang's indecency, frowned and coughed for a long time.

"I'm teasing you." Wang Yao sucked on a cigarette: "What are you worried about? It doesn't suit your taste?"——Wang Yao knew what Chen Gong was worried about, but he just wanted him to say it himself.

But Chen Gong didn't say anything, just smoked a stuffy cigarette—after being with Wang Yao for so many years, Chen Gong had never talked about his relationship with him, so it was a bit embarrassing to talk about this topic.

Just don't say anything.Wang Yao turned his head and looked out of the window—the office building where HALO is located is located in a bustling business district. Although it is a working day, there are still young parents who bring their children to play.Wang Yao looked at the flow of people in the business circle, and suddenly said: "Guozi celebrated his eighth birthday this spring, and I gave him a Polaroid specially for children to play with. He likes it, and takes it all day long. ——I think in the future, I will follow in my footsteps and eat photography.”

Guozi is the son of Wang Yao.Every time I saw Chen Gong, I cried, hid in my father's arms and said, "That brother is so fierce!"

Wang Yao puffed out smoke rings, and smiled with a loving father on his face: "If Guozi graduates from university, it is estimated that people in my generation will have been withdrawn from the battlefield of life; at that time, you will become the mainstay of the industry——" Chen, when the time comes, I will entrust you to take care of him in his career, will you help me with this favor?"

"Of course I would!" Chen Gong also had passion, looking at his brother Wangnian: "I will never give up!"

Wang Yao patted Chen Gong on the shoulder to express his gratitude, and continued: "When I started hanging out with Zheng Yi's father, I was about your age; I followed him for more than ten years... when his father didn't , Zheng Yi was only in junior high school—his father told me at that time: When Zheng Yi grows up, he will help more if he can."

Chen Gong was stunned.

"I know that Zheng Yi came from behind and robbed you of the position of director. You were wronged. But don't worry about Brother Wang..."

Chen Gong always thought it was Zheng's father who greeted Lao Wang before Zheng Yi entered the job and walked through the back door...Although Lao Wang told himself at the time, he said it vaguely; he didn't know the truth was a dying order.

If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have been worried about it at that time... After putting out the cigarette, Chen Gong smiled at Old Wang: "Don't worry, I don't care about it, and you don't need to worry about it—I still have to thank you."

"Thank me for what?" Old Wang also put out his cigarette.

"Thank you for giving me—"

I have never been good at words, so I can't come up with a definition of "Zheng Yi" at this moment - "this old enemy" has been bypassed in my mind, and "this enemy" has been ruled out... Even the objective "this boss" seems to be Not very accurate.

After stuttering for a long time, Chen Gong felt clumsy and gave up on defining it.

"——Zheng Yi."

This is how Chen Gong completed the sentence.

The night before I got off work, I was called by Director Zheng—I want Yao Jiaren to go to the suburban hotel with me today to go through the scene: “I heard from Deputy Supervisor Chen that you have experience in exhibition planning and luxury display in your previous resume—the venue You should be able to contribute to the layout of this piece, right?"

Yao Jiaren readily agreed: "Of course."

Of course I will.

The "Life Guide" that I copied by myself is pasted on the head of the bed. The third article is: work hard!There is also a symbolic expression of "Come on!" at the back.

- "Work hard!"

After three months of the darkest period in his life, Yao Jiaren quit the mutual aid group opened by the attending physician.With [-]% of the monthly salary of the new job, I rented a small and cozy bachelor apartment; raised a few pots of green radishes that can flourish without too much worry; adopted a little stray cat that I picked up—— At the moment, she is rubbing the soles of her feet acting like a baby.

After shoveling the cat's excrement and adding water and food, Yao Jiaren lowered his head to avoid the pair of black shorts hanging on the clothes rail, and opened the curtains.

1. "Say goodbye to the past!" - cut off all the past.

2. "Change to a new environment!" - Changed address and came to a new company.

3. "Work hard!" - actively respond to every job opportunity.

4. "Take care of yourself!" - After taking off the mask and washing his face again, he went through a complete set of skin care procedures step by step in front of the mirror. Yao Jiaren confirmed that today is also a perfect start.

... In this way, there is more sunshine in life as expected.

The new apartment is only four subway stops away from the company.

HALO employees have good benefits. They can arrive at the company before 10:9, but now it is 16:[-].

Taking out the sandwiches made in advance the night before from the refrigerator, Yao Jiaren put them in the microwave and adjusted the time.The phone rang suddenly at this moment - an unfamiliar number, Yao Jiaren thought for a while, thinking it was a courier or something.

"Hey?"

"It's me. That... I came to have breakfast, and suddenly found that it's not far from your home. Do you want to drive you to work?"

Listening to the voice, Yao Jiaren recognized the caller: "You don't have to take care of me so thoughtfully—you go first, I haven't eaten yet, I'll take the subway by myself after eating."

"Then I'll wait for you for a while!"

His tone was resolute and upright, but Yao Jiaren felt that he was pestering him endlessly: "It's really unnecessary."

"But I'm already downstairs—I'll wait for you!"

The cat was full, and leaned over and barked at the receiver, as if calling for a caller.Yao Jiaren couldn't help but think of the way this little guy stuck to him that day and refused to let go of his grip—what's so good about him?You like him so much?

After staring at the kitten, Yao Jiaren smiled wryly: "Do you want to come up first? - I haven't had time to get dressed yet."

"That's too... that... that's okay..." The eager footsteps running up the stairs on the other side of the phone are already obvious: "But... it seems that time is running out-I'm not so fast, will it be too late? "

Yao Jiaren didn't know what he was thinking, Yao Jiaren only thought he was a bit annoying.

Looking back, the black shorts on the clothes rail on the balcony showed a dark red through the sunlight.

Like a red flag.
