Twenty thrilling minutes later, Chu Li, Lao Miao, Xiao Niao, and Yu Yao left the editorial office under the sympathetic gazes of the two editors, and sat back in the cemetery of the conference room—Chu Li did not I don't know how many times a week she has to come to this place, which is the same as the execution ground, where she is terrified when she sees the gate...
... Now she really wants to sing "I'm Drunk Alone" on the graves of Lao Miao and Xiaoniao, but it's true.
In the process of waiting for the leader to issue a message, Xiaoniao's eyes were already red and her head was lowered, showing a faint appearance of crying... Chu Li bent over and played with her fingers, looking for something to say, "Little bird, Did you do it on purpose, because you knew that there would be accidents in the surrounding list, so you actually asked for leave that day, but what's the use of that? You are in charge of this list... "
"I didn't do it on purpose!" Xiaoniao was shocked when he heard that, and the big tears fell down as soon as he said, "I really remember who told me that the surrounding area should be 12,000 instead of 4,000." …”
Chu Li smiled, looking at Xiaoniao's blushing face from nervousness and fear, he seemed to be enjoying himself while suffering.
Compared with the other three people, Yu Yao is purely because their boss is following the gun. In fact, the editor is usually responsible for coordinating specific matters with various departments. She is the editor-in-chief who is only responsible for signing...
Yu Yao didn't even need to know how many bookmarks he would print.
So it was a complete accident.
Fortunately, she has a good psychological quality, and now she glanced at Xiaoniao, neither accusing her nor comforting her, just joking with Chu Li: "Chu Li, have you noticed, since you have been employed for three months, it has really been a long time." Ups and downs, ups and downs?"
Chu Li waved his hand: "Boss, don't laugh at me. The hairline has risen by three millimeters in the past three months. I suspect that if I continue to do this, I will become a bald old lady when I retire. I want to find a dusk lover in the park." No chance."
Chu Li: "I went on the scale yesterday, and I actually lost three catties."
Chu Li: "I'm going, I was stunned. I'm so tired every day, like the Alaska raised by Mr. Hiukawa, and I'm still fat! But I checked the Internet and you know what's going on? — Overworked and fat."
Chu Li: "It's the first time in my life that I heard that there is such a thing as 'overworked fat'!"
Everyone: "..."
Seeing Chu Li's playful smiling face, Yu Yao's appearance of a fat and courageous teacher is completely different from the appearance of Wei Nuo Nuo who just came here, and it can even be said to be a lot more pleasing to the eye... So he also laughed: "Seeing that you have a good attitude, you still have thoughts tell a joke."
Chu Li said "Oh": "The deal is done, be optimistic."
Besides, Lao Miao is mainly responsible for this matter, and I can still take the blame when I die——
Damn bitch, I see you are still playing bubble shooter, playing with your uncle.
At this moment, Yu Yao certainly didn't know that Chu Li was slandering her boss madly in his heart, so he just continued on his own: "I can be optimistic, but it's actually not a big deal. There are 8,000 extra copies printed around, and the cost of each copy has increased by 2 yuan. Fifty cents, a total of 20,000 yuan... Fortunately, the August issue is still proofreading, so it's not difficult to change the slogan and send out all the extra bookmarks. Those of us who handled it just fined part of the money and pulled it down. It's better than all of them. If you smash it in your hand, it is estimated that we will have to bear all the costs."
Chu Li was stunned by Yu Yao's words.
Immediately, I felt that I couldn't be optimistic at all: "...a fine?"
As soon as Chu Li heard the "fine money", he didn't bother to slander Lao Miao, this horse was going to cut her flesh—Chu Li sat up straight, and after that, since Yu Yao said "fine money" to Yuan The leader of Yueshe came late and stepped into the conference room. Chu Li didn't say a word, and was as quiet as a chicken...
However, this did not prevent the leader from scolding her and Lao Miao.
Chu Li watched helplessly as the leaders of the agency waved the bill with a black face and asked them "Do you think that 20,000 yuan is not money?" After yelling at them into silence, he sentenced them to "continuous sitting" without hesitation—
From Yu Yao who didn't even try to sign the contract, to Xiaoniao who didn't show up that day, everyone was deducted from their wages. Yu Yao deducted three thousand five thousand, Xiao Niao and Chu Li each one thousand.
— One thing worth mentioning is that at this time, Chu Li's monthly salary is only more than 3,100 yuan after all deductions, and after deducting 1,000, there are 2,100 yuan left.
— Another thing that is worth mentioning is that Chuli is a person who just received the payment notice from the landlord in the morning. The rent is 4,500 yuan a quarter, which means that even if you count these three months, you can save money. The 2,500 yuan I received was just enough to add up to the rent.
One hundred yuan left for a month
She will starve to death.
Bigu lives by drinking northwest wind.
First Ritual: "…………………"
Before, I never felt that Lao Miao's little tricks in private made her hurt.
Now Lao Miao's unintentional mistake has become a real killing move.
After the meeting, when he walked out of the conference room, looking at the back of Lao Miao who also looked ten years older, Chu Li didn't know for a while that he should hate Lao Miao who insisted on asking her to see the order when she was on the phone; I should hate Hiukawa who insisted on calling her during her working hours...
Chuli: "Boss."
Yu Yao: "What's wrong?"
Chu Li: "Can the fine be paid in installments?"
Yu Yao: "... no."
First ceremony: "..."
Chu Li himself didn't know how he got back to the editorial department, his mind was full of which bridge hole in G city would be the best place to sleep... After returning to his seat, he saw a comrade named Jiu in the Q group crossing with Hiukawa After the show, the second revision was handed over, and Chuli opened it to take a look—
From Jin Bao to a tall Jin Bao, from "Luohe Shenshu Online" to "Fantasy Westward Journey Online", Cang Wu's chiseled face that doesn't match handsome at all makes Chu Li want to bump his head to death Impulse on computer screen.
Bubbled in the group and left a sentence [Character lines should be softer and more beautiful, and the figure should be slender, strong does not necessarily mean prominent muscles, you can refer to the painting style of drawing hand calluses], Chu Li was expressionless Opened Hiukawa's private chat at the location, fingers fluttered, and typed quickly—
[Saijun invited by the monkey: Continue to communicate, the third draft is over, I will contact Empress Yu.]
[Saijun invited by the monkey: Don't say I didn't give you a chance, the painter I chose will be responsible to the end even if I cry.]
[The sailors invited by the monkey: Please don't resist.]
[The sailor invited by the monkey: If you have the ability, burn the contract and put it in the stove with me to make alchemy, I am not afraid.]
[Hikawa:?]
[Hikawa: Your wings are stiff, dare to talk to me like that.]
[The sailor army invited by the monkey: When a person is about to die, he has the direction of his heart, and he has nothing to fear.]
[Hikawa:...]
…
Chu Li didn't know how she got there that day, but it seemed that after she had a meeting with Hiukawa in the afternoon, Hiukawa never looked for her again, maybe he was angry again.
... It's okay to piss him off, this piss bag.
Chu Li didn't even know how she got home from work, because her stomach was full of annoying things, and she looked like she couldn't solve any of them. When she got home, she didn't want to eat, so she drank two sips of water to fill her stomach as a reward for the next one During Yue Bigu's basic training, Chu Li rolled over and over on the bed, and finally picked up the phone as if resigned to his fate.
Open WeChat, click on the list of recent contacts, and choose a person named [Chujia Niangniang], who is also her last straw—
[The sailor invited by the monkey: ...Mom.]
There was a quick response there.
[First lady: Are you off work?]
[Chujia Niangniang: I just got off work now, didn't I make it to the subway?]
[Chu's Empress: That's right, who can you squeeze through with your small body.]
[First lady: Is it hard to go to work? Is it still good to read?]
First ceremony: "..."
Hard work.
In just three months, your daughter has seen all kinds of life, and now it seems that she is about to face the catastrophe of ascension... Fingers swipe back and forth on the keyboard countless times, Chu Li hesitated for a long time but failed to get herself to work. Wrongly being deducted from wages to the point where I can’t take care of myself, I hesitated for a long time and could only temporarily reply “It’s not hard work”, and then detain my phone.
"Ah ah ah ah ah!"
Started rolling on the bed again.
After tumbling enough, she regained her courage, took a deep breath and grabbed the phone. Before she had time to type, she saw that her mother had already said a lot of things on the screen of the phone—
[Chujia Niangniang: Your dad asked when you resign and go home?]
[Chujia Niangniang: ... Yes, that's right, he came again, or the same way, saying that now the publishing house can hardly support itself, but can it support you small editors? It's really meaningless to say that you do this business!]
[Chujia Niangniang: Although G City is crowded and chaotic, your father is indeed worried about you.]
[Chujia Niangniang: He found a good relationship for you a long time ago, just waiting for you to quit your job and come back to take the teacher qualification certificate, and then go to teach Chinese in the elementary school where you studied when you were a child near our house... What do you mean there are winter and summer vacations a year? , how nice.]
[Chujia Niangniang: I am annoyed listening to him nagging, is your father in menopause?]
[Chujia Niangniang: The family of three are all teachers, from elementary school to high school to university, one-stop service, your dad is really interesting!]
[Chujia Niang Niang: Girl, you can fight for your breath, don't bend your waist for five buckets of rice and ask for money from the family... Your dad has been acting like a bastard recently, in order to prevent me from helping you in private, you confiscated my salary card up!]
[Chujia Niangniang: I went to Taobao and saw a pair of shoes and wanted to buy them, so I had to write an 800-character application to him, and then apply for payment!]
[First lady: The high divorce rate among middle-aged people is mostly because someone in the family suddenly became mentally ill.]
First ceremony: "..."
Can.
She didn't say shit, her mother poured out the bitterness first, and she seemed to complain a lot, and the central idea was also very disappointing: your mother and I are also poor, so poor that we can't live on and want to divorce, hello girl Don't worry about the tricks of your bloody father when asking for money at home!
——This is what it is called, the sky has a way of unparalleled people, and the sky wants to kill me.
Chu Li typed out the words "Mom, don't worry, I have money" almost with blood and tears in his eyes, put down the phone, and quietly realized for a while what it means to have nothing to love in capital letters...
And just when her despair reached its peak and she wanted to open the window and jump downstairs, the screen of her phone turned on again, and this time the person who sent the message was Ah Xiang—
[Ah Xiang: ... ... The artist has produced three drafts. Before you open it, prepare to see how to fly her away to reduce the damage. Drawing doujin and drawing originals are fundamentally two people.]
[Ah Xiang: When I approached her, she swore to me that I could draw any picture, from impasto to realistic, to celluloid (*日漫风)... This is what she handed over.]
[Ah Xiang: And pack up and prepare to contact Yu Niangniang, I hope there is still time for an appointment, and it will be more expensive at most.]
Chu Li replied to Ah Xiang with the word "Okay", opened Q and took a look at the last draft Mingjiu handed in—it was a little better than last time, but only a little better... It can be seen that she has been working hard to revise it , I even obviously feel that I have listened to Chu Li's words and read the illustrations of Yu Niangniang, but because of my own limited drawing skills, from the perspective of body structure and perspective, there is still a big gap in the drawing...
If it's a parody, why don't they go straight to the person being imitated
Now Mingjiu can't do the cover of "Luohe God Book" with such a thing. Not to mention that the most important thing in the book is the inside. People who have eyes are destined to be in the appearance association. If they have to use ugly illustrations, why not? It's better to write "Luohe Divine Book" directly in black letters on a white background. The effect is probably better than this...
Chu Li sighed, and didn't reply to Mingjiu for the time being. At this moment, she just felt that her brain was about to explode... She struggled to say "it's not right" in the group, and she stared at the screen for a long time. , and finally decided to call Hikawa to inform him to show respect before finally flying off the artist.
What Chu Li didn't expect was that there was a problem with just this phone call—
The phone rang twice and was connected. The man answered and said "Hello", before he could speak, Chuli on the other side said in a crackling voice: "Teacher, Mingjiu handed in the third draft. I know you have seen it—not to mention the degree of completion, the light draft is completely not at the same level as Yu Niangniang. The society has promised to give you the best resources and is willing to spend money. We really don’t need to be so complacent and lower ourselves. request... ”
"Wait a minute, we'll talk about this tomorrow, I'm not free right now." Hiukawa interrupted Chu Li indifferently.
Chu Li was stunned.
Then, I had a splitting headache, and something tense in my head seemed to snap off with a "crack", and the anger that had accumulated today seemed to find a release, and it surged all of a sudden—
She grabbed the phone tightly in her hand.
"What are you waiting for? I really can't wait any longer! "Luohe Divine Book" is going to be on schedule for the October Book Fair. This matter is good for both sales and the Yuanyue Club. The club has clearly stated the requirements. Let’s wait for everyone to hold a group and jump into the river together - originally we can move forward with the finalization of Yu Niangniang on Monday, but now because we decided to respect the teacher and your personal preferences, we gritted our teeth and dragged it back for almost a week. This week must not be possible. It ended like this without any progress!" Chu Li raised his voice, "Teacher, please consider the embarrassment of our editors once in a while! The agency originally decided to use Empress Yu, you are not happy, do we also respect your opinion? We found another one, so can we blame us for the inappropriateness of the newly recruited person???"
"..."
"If I can't find a suitable painter again, don't I have to keep finding a needle in a haystack! Then teach me how I will tell Teacher Xia about this at the next week's morning meeting? It's okay to push all of them on your head." Isn't it appropriate? If I take it down by myself, I will be scolded again, haven't I been scolded enough, and I will give you these inexplicable blame every day—" Chu Li began to diverge his thoughts as he spoke, and the more he spoke, the more angry he became, At this moment, people are trembling, "Can you guys distinguish between work and entertainment, and do your own work well before entertainment? One or two are like this. If you have to make mistakes, you will get involved so that others can't afford it." Are you happy when you are homeless? Satisfied?"
"..."
There was no sound from the phone.
Chu Li let out an angry "Hello"—
What "respect the author" and "love the teacher" were all thrown out of the blue by her at once!
Blame these people, they know how to make trouble and make trouble!
Isn't it hard to live without dragging others down for a day? !
At this time, Chu Li was completely dominated by anger and the fear of being homeless and foodless in the future. Just as her anger reached its peak and the small universe was about to explode, there was finally a response on the phone—
"Is that enough?"
Hiukawa's voice sounded very low, which seemed a bit tired—
"I'm at the pet shop near Jinhua Street now. If you have anything to say, you can come and tell me. You don't need to yell there, but I'm afraid you have to control the volume when you come here, otherwise the people in the pet shop will bombard you. go out."
"..."
Jinhua Street
It is less than 20 minutes away from her home by taxi.
City G
This guy is back
Isn't it half a month of vacation
Chu Li was so confused that he didn't even bother to scold people: "You're back? Why are you back? What are you doing in the pet shop?"
"When Ergou came out for a walk in the afternoon, he had a fight with a German shepherd from another community. The child who was in charge of the walk in such a big dog pet store didn't hold him back. Ergou was bitten on his jaw and tail. He needed stitches. The owner of the pet shop called me to ask me how to deal with it, so I took the nearest plane and came back directly.” Hiukawa said lightly, “The injury is deep and it’s not easy to get into the cage just after stitches, and the anesthesia hasn’t passed yet. I have to watch it."
"..."
Two dogs
injured
It turned out that Hiukawa disappeared all afternoon this afternoon, not to be a doormat, but to catch a plane back to G City to deal with this matter
Chu Li was a little dumbfounded clutching the phone, and his anger dissipated in an instant. Hearing Hiukawa's exhausted voice, he suddenly felt that he was very embarrassed to yell at Hiukawa just now... The hand that gripped the phone tightened, and suddenly I feel that Hiukawa is actually fine, no one wants to rest even if there is nothing to do at night, I can't bear her tossing so hard—
She is a workaholic, and Hiukawa is not, and now that Ergou is injured, thinking that the dog is usually pampered at home, Zhouchuan has to emphasize adding meat to him when he eats plain porridge... Now he must be very special Distressed.
Thinking about it this way, I felt guilty—
The little girl on the phone side lowered her head, fell silent for a while, and then said honestly in the silence between the two sides: "I'm sorry."
There was no sound on the phone.
After a while, Hiukawa paused and didn't say anything, but asked casually, "Then you come here?"
The man's voice was slightly hoarse, it didn't look like a question, the voice spun around the pinna and entered the ear, even the heartbeat with the first ceremony missed a beat...
— In the past? But what am I doing in the past
—By the way, what happened to Er Gouzi
—It won't hurt very badly, will it
— I heard that some dogs who have not been anesthetized will have nausea and vomiting. Can the actor, the little man, take care of him alone
—Will he be terrified
—Damn it, you won't hold the head of Er Gouzi, a big dog who hasn't been anesthetized, and cry, right? ! Anyway, it's a big one, what a shame! ! !
This series of associations drilled into his head like a bullet screen. Chu Li grabbed the phone and said "ah", and then "oh", before he even had time to think about anything, he hung up the phone and grabbed the key to wear it. Shoes go downstairs...
About twenty-five minutes later.
Panting from running all the way, Chu Li pushed open the door of the pet shop where Hiukawa was located—it was just when the lights were on, and the pet shop was full of young parents who brought their cubs to bathe, groom and see a doctor after work... The sound of cats meowing and dogs wailing was quite lively. Veterinarians in white coats came and went, and everyone looked very busy.
It is not difficult to find Hiukawa, because in such a dynamic scene, there is only one corner that is static - a man wearing a casual sweater is sitting against the corner, staring down at the figure on the bed next to him. The huge brown Alaska frowned slightly, and with his slender fingertips, he stuffed the dog's tongue back, and then gently touched the tip of its nose...
The man didn't know what he was thinking, and looked a little distracted.
Seeing his calm expression, Chu Li felt relieved. As she approached, as if she was afraid of frightening something fragile, she subconsciously slowed down her steps... When she approached, the big dog's ears turned back to her lying on the bed, and the man raised his head.
The two stared at each other for a few seconds, silent.
The man didn't have any superfluous expressions at first, but when his brown pupils moved slightly, and he looked at the little girl standing in front of him from top to bottom, he suddenly showed a faint smile: "I put on the shoes backwards, What are you in a hurry for?"
First ceremony: "..."
He lowered his head and looked at the man's eyes, and as expected, he had worn his shoes backwards.
At this moment, staring at his reversed shoes, Chu Li suddenly felt that something was wrong...
He asked her, what's the hurry
In fact, she couldn't answer this question.
