It was getting colder in November, and the bare streets were lifeless.
Floor-to-ceiling windows keep out the howling wind, and a simulated fireplace creates a warm atmosphere.
The interns greeted each other, took their pens and notebooks, and came to the spacious meeting area for the morning meeting on Monday morning.
The meeting area of the new studio is not like the meeting rooms of other companies. There are no boring long conference tables, and no rigid LCD display screens.
The seats scattered around are put together randomly like Tetris. Employees can give full play to their imagination in whatever shape they want to sit on.
Ten minutes passed, and the brief Monday morning meeting was over.
Ding Yinan looked in Guo Yi's direction and greeted, "Xiao Guo, come to my office."
The general manager's office is slightly different from the open and inclusive office environment outside, and it looks calmer.
Ding Yinan asked Guo Yi to sit down on the sofa for entertaining guests, then took two pages of information, put them on the coffee table and said, "There is a new order, and the client asked you to take it."
Guo Yi glanced at the floor plan on the coffee table and said, "It's Lin Guo."
"Um."
Ding Yinan said, "He just bought a sixty-square-meter loft apartment."
Lin Guo's mansion has just been renovated not long ago, and now he bought another house. If Ding Yinan didn't know about the things between him and Guo Yi, he might have thought that Lin Guo was planning to switch careers and invest in real estate.
"Do you want to pick it up?" Ding Yinan asked, "I respect your wish, you don't need to pick it up."
Lin Guo was the first client of the studio, and later introduced several orders to the studio.
If possible, Ding Yinan didn't want to offend his old customers, but the two of them were in special circumstances, and he couldn't force Guo Yi to accept the order.
Guo Yi lowered his eyes, looked at the ground, then looked at Ding Yinan again and said, "Let me take it."
Ding Yinan asked worriedly: "Is it not forced?" Guo Yi shook his head: "No."
"That's good."
When Ding Yinan said this, seeing that Guo Yi's mood was still not the same as usual, he asked worriedly, "How are you and Lin Guo doing?" Guo Yi was silent for a while, and said: "That's it .”
What is that? A question mark popped up in Ding Yinan's heart, but he didn't ask any more questions as he heard Guo Yi's tone seemed to be all right.
But at this time Guo Yi suddenly said: "He lied to me."
"Huh?" Ding Yinan was taken aback.
"He said he had nothing to do with that third-rate musician."
Guo Yidao, "But he went to their concert in the middle of the night."
Which musician? Ding Yinan doesn't pay attention to the entertainment industry, and he doesn't know who the third-rate musician Guo Yi is talking about.
After Guo Yi left, he went to the Internet to check the news about Cha Linguo. It turned out that some gossip media recently revealed that Lin Guo clubbed late at night until the early hours of the morning, but this incident did not cause much trouble, because fans and passersby said That's the freedom of a star.
But Ding Yinan still noticed something strange.
The band that Lin Guo played with was a well-known rock band in China.
If you have to say it, they should be regarded as second-rate, so as not to be defined as third-rate.
And the reason why Guo Yi said that, without thinking about it, must be because of his hostility towards that band.
As for why there is hostility... It can only be because of that monster Linguo.
"Why."
Ding Yinan shook his head with emotion, it seems that their studio is going to become a "base" for incubation.
When he came home from get off work, Ding Yinan was not used to the empty room for a moment.
Three hundred years old rushed over to meet him, diluting the loneliness that Huo Zhixiao was not at home.
The B&B renovation project introduced by Zhang Hui has come to an end, and Huo Zhixiao needs to go to the site for acceptance.
In the past, Ding Yinan and Huo Zhixiao went on business trips to the location of the B&B together, but recently Ding Yinan was preparing for the domestic MBA entrance examination, so he didn't have time to go there with Huo Zhixiao.
It was Huo Zhixiao's idea to let Ding Yinan go to study for MBA.
At first, it was only because of Guo Yi’s affairs that Ding Yinan wanted to get a psychological counselor’s certificate, but after considering the time cost and professional relevance, he decided whether to get a construction engineer’s certificate or take on a more difficult architectural challenge. teacher certificate.
However, before making a decision, Ding Yinan was always lacking in motivation, because he couldn't figure out what to do with these certificates, and it seemed that he was just researching for the sake of research.
Later, it was Huo Zhixiao who woke up Ding Yinan: "The research is done by the workers, just be your boss."
In the end, Ding Yinan decided to study for an MBA at his alma mater.
In name, this is the top MBA class in China, but in fact, it is a social class for bigwigs from all walks of life.
Ding Yinan himself has a huge alumni resource, and after he enters this class, his connections will become even better.
Halfway through the book, Ding Yinan suddenly received a WeChat message from Huo Xun asking him for information on a project that Huo Zhixiao was in charge of before.
Since coming out with Huo Xun at the awards ceremony last time, this is the first time Huo Xun has contacted Ding Yinan.
Ding Yinan packaged the project information and sent it to Huo Xun's mailbox. Not long after, Huo Xun sent another WeChat message, saying that a client had taken a fancy to that project, and if the other party was willing, he would introduce that client.
A very alienated and very official conversation, it seems that it is just a business cooperation between two company bosses.
Dante Yinan vaguely felt that this was a good start, because Huo Xun took the initiative to introduce clients to them, at least it showed that he recognized their professional ability.
Ding Yinan thanked Huo Xun, then put the phone aside, and continued to read the book in his hand.
Ten o'clock in the evening passed quickly, Ding Yinan went to take a shower and came back, and sent a message to Huo Zhixiao.
[Ding Yinan: Are you done with your work?][Huo Zhixiao: The boss is so good at chatting]All homestay owners seem to have their own chattering skills, drinking and chatting with guests is their daily pleasure.
Ding Yinan had experienced the nagging skills of the owner of the homestay before, and he would not give up until after eleven o'clock in the evening.
He knew that Huo Zhixiao couldn't get away, but at night, he didn't want others to take up Huo Zhixiao's time.
He made a phone call and pretended to talk about work, giving Huo Zhixiao an excuse to go back to the room.
The environment on the other end of the phone was completely quiet, and Ding Yinan heard Huo Zhixiao ask him: "Honey, do you miss me?" "Yeah."
Ding Yinan replied bluntly, "I really want to."
"I miss my wife too."
Huo Zhixiao smiled, "I'm not used to not having you by my side."
"I'm not used to it either."
Ding Yinan said, "No one hugs me to sleep."
Ding Yinan learned a lot of shameless love words from Huo Zhixiao, and he became more and more comfortable in speaking.
As the saying goes, blue comes out of blue and is better than blue. This is a true portrayal of the relationship between the two of them.
Huo Zhixiao said: "Should I fly back right now?" "Farewell."
Ding Yinan is quite sensible, and he only misses it for two or three days. Huo Zhixiao will be back soon. He changed the subject and said, "By the way, Mr. Huo came to me just now."
"What did he ask you for?" Huo Zhixiao asked.
"Introduce us to clients."
Ding Yinan said, "It was a little sudden, and I was caught off guard."
"Is that so?"
Huo Zhixiao was silent for a while, and asked, "Do you remember that I changed the background of Moments a few days ago?" Huo Zhixiao's Moments background was the most proud building in all his designs before, but since he and After Ding Yinan's wedding photo was taken, he changed the background of his Moments to a photo of the two holding hands.
Anyone who saw his circle of friends would know that his lover was of the same sex.
"Did he see it?" Ding Yinan asked.
"Well, let me switch back."
Huo Zhixiao said.
Ding Yinan clicked on Huo Zhixiao's circle of friends again and looked, no surprise, Huo Zhixiao didn't change back.
"And then?" Ding Yinan continued to ask.
"I said no. After a long time, he sent me a message."
"What?" Huo Zhixiao didn't answer immediately, but sent a screenshot in WeChat.
On the screen was the conversation between Huo Zhixiao and Huo Xun. Huo Xun asked Huo Zhixiao to pay attention to the influence, but Huo Zhixiao didn't feel bad.
At the end of the conversation between the two, there was a message from Huo Xun 12 hours later.
[Huo Xun: Young man, take it easy.]
Ding Yinan stared at these six words for a long time, and when he realized that Huo Xun recognized them, he couldn't help but smiled faintly.
