"You said, don't we look like Jack and Rose? It's a pity we can't get on the boat together."
"I won't be going to a casino again."
"I believe you."
"me… "
The love language that has not been spoken, there is no chance to speak it again.
The most wonderful thing about life is that you don't know if you will never have another chance after you miss it this time.
if? if. …
Mr. Ji pointed to the work in the center of the screen, and his voice was a little excited: "This is the work my father liked before, but..."
More than one person found the oddity in this statement.
Before, however.
What is he trying to say? Everyone has a common doubt in their hearts.
Mr. Ji went on to say: "Last night, we received a ... belated design drawing."
As soon as the screen turned, all the design drawings disappeared, and the screen was blank. With the click of the mouse, the last design drawing appeared.
The room was silent.
The si people have completely fallen into a state of ignorance, and cast doubtful eyes on several leading people, and then they were surprised to find that their design director looked disheartened, while Lin Zhou... The smile completely froze on his face On the next day, his usually gentle and elegant face was distorted.
There are not many people from yl, but only two people know the truth, more than half of the people are also in the fog, the worst thing is that they still dare not look at Yan Jin with doubts, they can only make up their own minds about last night What happened, but, they didn't lose their composure like si, after all—
On the design drawing that occupies the entire screen, yl's famously low-key silver watermark is so dazzling as if it is glowing at this moment.
At this time, the old man spoke again:
"I want to meet that designer."
He stared straight at Yan Jin, who stood up calmly, and replied respectfully: "I'm very sorry, Mr. Louis, this designer is very mysterious, and he doesn't want to release any information to the public, nor does he want to show his face .”
The old man didn't force it, but just sighed: "Then it's a waste of time."
Yan Jin paused for a moment, and then said: "On behalf of the yl group, I would like to express my gratitude to you for your appreciation."
This is definitely the winner's speech. As soon as Yan Jin's words fell, the members of yl hurriedly applauded desperately. In stark contrast to this was the piecemeal applause on the side of si, and the faces of the group were not very good. , the cooked duck flew away, and the order that was already in the pocket was finally snatched away by a design drawing without a property name. Who can let it go
No, someone jumped up from the seat.
"Mr. Ji, Mr. Yan." Lin Zhou tried his best to maintain his usual image, even people with discerning eyes could see his forced smile: "Can I ask why this design drawing won in the end? Also, this design Why doesn't the picture have a property name?"
As soon as the words came out, Lin Zhou realized that such an aggressive attitude did not conform to the image he had portrayed in the past, and quickly added: "After all, this is a fair competition. As opponents, we really want to know what our shortcomings are. place."
When they heard the word "fair", everyone in si showed embarrassing expressions, but the people in yl didn't respond, except for Yan Jin, who slightly raised the corners of his mouth.
It's not that Yan Jin never plays tricks, it's just that most things are not worth using so-called tricks, but there are contingencies in everything, such as this time, this special order, this special old gentleman...
Boom.
The crutches were knocked down, and the ground let out a heavy groan.
Shocked, Mr. Ji immediately bent down and put his ear to the old man's side.
"Let's go." That's all the old man said.
"Yes, father."
When they passed by Lin Zhou, they didn't show any intention of stopping. Their apparent disregard was like a slap in the face, which made Lin Zhou blush.
Indeed, the most important way to evaluate such a private order is the customer's opinion, but no matter how you say it, the customer will give some explanations, usually for subjective reasons such as "personal preference", so that the failed party can also save face. passable.
But Lin Zhou didn't expect that the old man would be so unruly.
When the old man passed Yan Jin, he raised his hand, and Mr. Ji stopped immediately.
"You, very good." The old man's eyesight has been declining year by year, and now he can't see things that are a little further away. The world in his eyes is blurry, but he can see things that ordinary people can't see clearly, such as People's hearts, such as the future, such as a talented young man with suppressed ambitions.
The old man slowly stretched out his right hand, took off something, and put it into Yan Jin's palm.
"The Yan family can't trap you anymore."
"Thank you, Mr. Louis."
Having obtained what she wanted most in this competition, Yan Jin showed a rare satisfied smile.
Mr. Ji pushed the old man out, and the bodyguards on both sides escorted them away.
A crowd of people who didn't know what to do was left, looking at each other in blank dismay.
"That's the end?"
"What about the judges? Didn't you say there are judges? They don't even have scores."
"Why were you yl them... not to say..."
"Hush."
"That blueprint is really good, yl is at the highest level."
"It's good, it's good, but this is, this is too weird."
The people in si went from whispering to making comments out loud. The customers had already left, and they finally had the courage to say something.
"Mr. Yan, you're brilliant at taking the bottom out of the pot." The design director said with a sting, this matter can't just end like this, Yan Jin has played with them all, and she can't even step out of this conference room without giving an explanation.
That is to say, Yan Jin is really young, and her qualifications are not deep. If the former president of yl is here, then the design director really can only knock his teeth down and swallow it in his stomach.
Yan Jin had anticipated this situation a long time ago, and he had already made preparations for it.
"There were some problems in the design of yl, and the completion was delayed until yesterday. This time, most of yl's energy was devoted to this drawing. The reason why there is no attribute name is because its designer is a The team, please let the team leader introduce the specific design situation."
A young man with an immature face stood up: "Hi everyone, I'm David from yl."
The young man came to the stage full of confidence and delivered the speech he had prepared. He only received this design drawing and some scattered design concepts yesterday, but this did not affect his performance.
The so-called newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. He has only graduated from undergraduate and has only been in the company for a few months. Compared with design, he is better at being the host of various parties. Really ask him to design something Well, he can't, but no one is better at claiming a ready-made design product as his own design and showing off in front of a group of old-fashioned people.
Even if he didn't know what the president was doing, it didn't prevent him from trying his best to frighten the audience.
"As you can see, our design product is not a ring, please don't be surprised, it does look like a ring, but if you look carefully, it just has the same characteristics as the ring, and it actually... "
After the introduction, Yan Jin took the lead in applauding, and everyone in yl hurriedly followed up. Immediately, sparse applause resounded in the meeting room, as if there was a burst of ridicule and sarcasm.
The si people were about to explode. They had ten thousand questions about the professional introduction, but the young man didn't mention any substantive things at all, and they were all talking about the clear content. When it came to the key points, it was pushed to the core designers who were not present, leaving everyone helpless.
Yan Jin got up and said, "I have a meeting coming up, so I have to leave first. If everyone in Si still has any doubts about this design, my secretary and the design team will answer it for everyone."
"Wait." Lin Zhou, who was silent all the time, stopped Yan Jin who was about to get out: "Just now the... team leader also mentioned that the core designer didn't come to the scene, and we don't even know his name until now." I don't even know the name."
"I'm sorry, that designer is unwilling to have too much contact with others due to his own reasons."
Yan Jin's words are very ambiguous. Some people may think that the designer is a lonely genius abroad, so he is reluctant to show up. Some people may think that this is yl's intention to cover up the hype, and these are vague His guess was exactly what Yan Jin wanted to see.
It is much better to reveal some information that seems to be true or false in a timely manner than to say nothing at all.
"As for the name..." Yan Jin thought for a moment, then raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a nasty smile unique to Yan Jin:
"You can call him Mr. Mystery."
… That's all.
After watching the whole scene, Xiao Yu's nervousness before the results were announced, his excitement after learning of the victory, his joy at seeing Lin Zhou's fury, his touch at Yan Jin's commitment, and in the end, he calmed down.
Only overwhelming, annoyance remained.
He could have done better, he meant the previous life.
If he hadn't been coaxed by Lin Zhou's few words, if he hadn't been so young and frivolous, and couldn't tolerate the slightest bit of sand in his eyes, he could have done better.
This is the biggest failure of his career.
He violated his professional ethics and handed in an unfinished work for a short while.
He didn't feel sorry for anyone, he only felt sorry for his own conscience.
And, sorry for the wailing rose garden.
After so many years, maybe 40 or 50 years, it should have been a very difficult task to investigate the events of that year, but he found the key points smoothly, except for the hidden fate , and what's more, it is the artificially preserved memories that guide him to discover the truth of the year.
The old gentleman's brain is not working anymore, but twenty years ago, he was still a radiant and wealthy businessman. He returned to this sad place again, and invested a lot of money in the then impoverished government. With the money, a huge rose garden was planted in the center of the town.
From an airplane, it looks like a ruby in the crown.
This was something that Xiao Yu in the previous life finally figured out later. After the order was snatched by yl, he didn't pay attention to it, but the works of yl's mysterious designer were widely circulated in the si group. Everyone is puzzled by the mysterious designer's work, but he suddenly figured it out in the dead of night——
Why, a garland.
Why not a ring, but a jewel and diamonds, each platinum vine, each ruby petal, is engraved with "I love you", an expensive but heavy wreath.
Time is the best medicine, and it is also the cruelest Mengpo soup. It makes people forget the saddest memory, but it also brings all the joy together.
The young man twenty years ago planted a rose garden, and the old man twenty years later will forget everything—
The young man who was addicted to gambling no longer had anything to rely on to support his life. Fortunately, the girl still persisted until the girl's parents became seriously ill. The young man found that all his money could not make up a ticket for the girl to go home. sober.
The girl pledged the ring in her hand, and was finally able to embark on her return journey. The young man broke off the most delicate flowers from the rose garden next to the casino, wove them into a corolla of thorns, and handed them to the girl.
His hands were wounded, just like his heart was riddled with holes.
The girl is still the girl who eclipsed both the Venus and the sun. Even after experiencing the baptism of wind and frost, she is still full of hope for the future.
"When I come back, we will have a good time..."
"sorry."
"I don't blame you, I love you."
"I, I love you too, wait, wait for you to come back, we..."
"Nothing, everything went smoothly."
The young man who regretted endlessly and was ashamed to say love words finally watched the girl go to the ferry. He smiled and waved his hands, expecting from the bottom of his heart—
When the garland spreads out, the girl may see that every vine and thorny thorn is engraved with——
The apology and love of his life.
