The next day, Huo Zhixiao still had to go to the construction site, and only Ding Yinan and Guo Yi were left in the office.
Ding Yinan finished his work first, picked up the cup and went to the rest area to get a cup of coffee, then pretended to beckon to Guo Yi casually and said: "Xiao Guo, come and have a chat."
Ding Yinan thought about it for a long time last night, but he still felt that it would be better to talk about these things in person. There is a big disadvantage of sending messages, that is, it is impossible to observe the tone and expression of the other party, and a little carelessness will cause misunderstanding.
Guo Yi stuck out half of his head from behind the computer screen to look, then picked up the mug and came to Ding Yinan's side.
"We've been doing well recently." Ding Yinan chatted with Guo Yi while drinking coffee, "I plan to move the office to the 5A office building."
After all, a small apartment is no match for a regular office building. After the scale of the studio expands, an office building with a strong business atmosphere is their inevitable choice.
Guo Yi nodded, took a cup of warm water, and asked, "Is there anything to look forward to?"
"There are already several options." Ding Yinan said, "I have to think about it in the end."
Guo Yi didn't answer any more, and silently took a sip of water. Although he has no heart, but on the eve of his resignation, the boss suddenly grabbed him to talk about the company's future development. Normal people can see that the boss has other plans.
"Do you really want to resign?" Ding Yinan asked straight to the point.
Guo Yi seemed to be well prepared, took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Ding, I like our studio very much, but I have a reason to leave, so..."
Ding Yinan interrupted: "I know the reason for your resignation."
Guo Yi looked at Ding Yinan with an incredulous expression.
Ding Yinan said again: "It's because of Lin Guo."
Now the surprise in Guo Yi's eyes turned into embarrassment, he uncomfortably picked up the water glass in his hand, and drank water to relieve the embarrassment.
Ding Yinan had thought before that maybe Lin Guo was only one of the reasons, and there were other reasons for Guo Yi's resignation. But now it seems that Lin Guo is 100% the culprit.
He was fortunate that he did not choose to use WeChat to communicate, because seeing Guo Yi's evasive attitude, if he used WeChat to talk about this matter, Guo Yi might not reply directly.
"I have to tell you one thing." Ding Yinan said frankly, "Master Huo and I are both gay."
"puff-"
Hearing this, Guo Yi spit out water from his mouth, which Ding Yinan did not expect.
The embarrassment in his eyes disappeared, replaced by surprise and disbelief, as if he suspected that some kind of goblin was occupying Pansi Cave here.
"Master Huo and I are lovers, and," Ding Yinan paused, picked a statement that Guo Yi could understand, and said, "I'm the one below."
Yesterday, Lin Guo's original words were that he had put Guo Yi to sleep, but Ding Yinan was really not sure which of the two would go up and who would go down.
Guo Yi is 1.85 meters tall, and Lin Guo is 1.8 meters tall. There is not much difference in height between the two. In addition, Lin Guo has a strong aura, and he is the dominant person at first glance, so Ding Yinan actually prefers Guo Yi to be the one below.
He told Guo Yi his own model so frankly so that Guo Yi wouldn't feel embarrassed. Even if he got fucked, it doesn't mean he won't be able to hold his head up in the future.
Guo Yi's eyes really became very complicated, he looked Ding Yinan's eyes up and down, and murmured: "I can't tell."
"Yes." Ding Yinan said, "Maybe you think gays are all sissies, but it's actually not like that."
"I really can't see it." Guo Yi lowered his eyes and shook his head with a tangled expression, "I didn't expect Mr. Lin and Mr. Ding to..."
Oh fine.
Ding Yinan suddenly realized that Lin Guo is still the one below.
It's really interesting, "being slept by someone" doesn't mean "putting someone to sleep", it seems that this person is quite a queen.
"Do you think I'm weird?" Ding Yinan asked.
Guo Yi looked at Ding Yinan, then shook his head.
"Maybe you don't want me to know about you and Lin Guo, but I can tell you clearly that these things are nothing to Master Huo and I." Ding Yinan said, "If you don't want to, I don't either. I will arrange for you to contact Linguo again. So, do you want to stop thinking about resigning?"
All the words have been said, and Ding Yinan is sincere enough. Guo Yi lowered his head, silently looking at the water glass in his hand.
After a moment, he nodded.
Guo Yi has stabilized, but Ding Yinan still has to recruit new people.
These days, besides screening resumes, Ding Yinan would also wander around the city looking for suitable office buildings.
I have to say that he is actually very envious of the office space of Yuan Feng's team. Owning a place for your own company in the downtown area should be the dream of every boss.
If possible, Ding Yinan also wanted to find a modern and comfortable office, and he believed that Huo Zhixiao would also prefer that kind of working environment.
Time soon came to the weekend night, and celebrities in the construction industry gathered in the banquet hall of a five-star hotel in the city.
Ding Yinan was still wearing the dark green dress that Huo Zhixiao gave him, but unlike last time, this time he no longer had to wait for Huo Xun's call anytime.
The organizer deliberately arranged the seats of Huo Zhixiao and Huo Xun together. Before entering the venue, Huo Zhixiao went to the bathroom first. Ding Yinan came to the seat alone, and met Huo Xun like this.
"Mr. Huo." Ding Yinan took the initiative to say hello.
Huo Xun looked at Ding Yinan upon hearing the sound, then frowned, and said, "Assistant Ding, did I tell you that you need to wear a bow tie when you wear a dress."
Ding Yinan looked at the tie on his chest, and said with a faint smile: "Yes, Mr. Huo. But I tried it before going out today, and I still look better with a tie."
Huo Xun raised his eyebrows imperceptibly when he heard the words, as if he didn't expect Ding Yinan to refute his opinion.
At this time Huo Zhixiao came to his seat, Huo Xun no longer paid attention to Ding Yinan, but asked Huo Zhixiao: "Are you confident to win the prize this time?"
Huo Zhixiao sat down next to Huo Xun in a big way, and said indifferently: "Follow the fate."
Huo Xun's expression was a little unhappy, but he quickly returned to normal, looking at the podium calmly.
This architectural award is divided into several categories, and Huo Zhixiao nominated the rural architectural design that has become popular in recent years, and he also nominated four other designers.
Coincidentally, Huo Xun happened to be the award presenter of this session.
When Huo Xun walked up to the awarding platform step by step, many people were discussing in low voices while looking at Huo Zhixiao.
Think about it, everyone is not a fool.
The organizer specially arranged for Huo Xun to present this award. If Huo Zhixiao was not the final winner, it would definitely make Huo Xun stand on the stage like a fool.
Of course, the organizer would not do this kind of thing, so everyone can more or less guess in their hearts that the name that Huo Xun pronounced in the end is 90% likely to be Huo Zhixiao.
However, after reading the introductions of the works of the other four designers, the 90% possibility became 100% sure. The works of several others are well-regulated and conform to the characteristics of the countryside. Only Huo Zhixiao's works have variables in the rules and have developed more possibilities for rural architecture.
In addition, his work is a public welfare project and a library that brings hope to children. This alone makes his work more meaningful than the works of several others.
Huo Zhixiao should be a well-deserved winner, and Ding Yinan believes that other people here will also think so.
A few minutes later, Huo Xun on the stage smiled and read his son's name, and everyone could see the pride and pride in his eyes. Huo Zhixiao tidied up the hem of his suit and walked to the awarding platform with long legs.
"Everyone knows that Designer Xiao Huo is the son of Mr. Huo, he really is like a tiger father without a son." The host held the card in his hand and read the lines with a heated atmosphere, "I don't know if Designer Xiao Huo has anything special. How do you feel?"
"Yes." Huo Zhixiao came to the microphone with the trophy, and calmly raised the height of the microphone, "I would like to thank one person in particular."
Hearing this, Huo Xun immediately straightened his back, and the smile on his face became wider, as if he was waiting for Huo Zhixiao to say the word "father".
"In recent years, I have been troubled by a problem, that is, I have to stick to myself or cater to the market." Huo Zhixiao said, "I believe that most designers will experience this trouble, but I didn't know the answer until recently."
Huo Xun turned his head to look at Huo Zhixiao, with a smile still on his face.
"If it wasn't for that person, I might have forgotten what a wonderful feeling it is to be immersed in design. It was he who made me find myself and burst out with greater energy. Without his company day and night, I believe in my Things will never go so smoothly.”
As Huo Zhixiao talked more, the smile on Huo Xun's face became more and more stiff. Because the person who accompanied Huo Zhixiao day and night was definitely not him, Huo Xun.
However, Huo Zhixiao didn't directly point out who he was thanking. He just looked in Ding Yinan's direction and said vaguely: "Thank you, wife."
There were whistles and booing from the audience, and Ding Yinan even heard someone behind him asking, "Is Huo Zhixiao married?"
The awards ceremony ended soon, and the host invited another award presenter.
Huo Xun and Huo Zhixiao returned to their seats. Unlike Huo Zhixiao's relaxed attitude, Huo Xun frowned, his face was serious, and he left the seat within five minutes.
As soon as Huo Xun left, Huo Zhixiao turned his head and whispered to Ding Yinan: "Honey, do you like my acceptance speech?"
Ding Yinan didn't answer, but lowered his voice and said, "Did Mr. Huo not ask you anything?"
Just now Huo Xun and Huo Zhixiao walked down from the stage together, and the two of them didn't communicate during the whole process, which made Ding Yinan faintly feel bad.
Sure enough, at this moment, Ding Yinan's cell phone vibrated suddenly, it was a message from Huo Xun.
[Huo Xun: Come to the smoking area.]
Ding Yinan put away his mobile phone and said to Huo Zhixiao, "I'll go out for a while."
The awards ceremony was in progress, Huo Xun was the only one in the smoking place outside the banquet hall.
He stood upright, with his hands gracefully inserted in his suit pants, and looked at the night scene outside the window.
Ding Yinan took a deep breath, walked to Huo Xun's side, and said hello: "Mr. Huo."
Huo Xun looked away, looked at Ding Yinan expressionlessly and asked, "Who is his wife?"
Ding Yinan pursed her lips, and said slowly: "Mr. Huo, there is something..."
"Is it you?" Huo Xun interrupted Ding Yinan coldly.
Ding Yinan took another deep breath, adjusted his unbearably nervous heartbeat, and said, "Yes."
Huo Xun did not express his opinion immediately, but took out a flat metal cigarette case from the inner pocket of the suit jacket, and then took out a shiny golden lighter from the outer pocket, and lit a cigarette slowly.
He looked out the window and exhaled a puff of smoke, as if he was laying the groundwork for something, and also seemed to be talking to himself: "At my age, I have never seen such a scene."
Having said that, Dan Yinan faintly noticed that Huo Xun's hand holding the cigarette seemed to be trembling slightly.
