When the two met again, it was already the afternoon of the 9th when work officially started.

In the morning, Chen Gong went to meet a client to communicate some things, and he arrived at HALO in the afternoon. When I arrived at the workstation, I found that my original computer had been replaced, and it was placed into a clean MAC all-in-one computer.

Chen Gong thought for a moment that he had gone to the wrong station, but he repeatedly confirmed that the position was correct.

Chen Gong looked at his colleague in a nearby seat: "This..."

"Maybe your little angel did it!" The colleague raised his eyebrows and smiled.

Hearing the inexplicable answer of "Little Angel", Chen Gong thought his colleague was joking: "Oh, why didn't you say it was Santa Claus?"

"Deputy Supervisor Chen, you missed it because you didn't come in the morning. It's like this..." The colleague explained patiently: "The Human Resources Department organized us to play the little angel game. The rules of the game are: everyone has two identities - 'little angel' and 'little angel' Little master'. In the next week, the little angel will try to take care of his little master, but he cannot be discovered by the little master; and the little master will also find a way to find out his little angel through clues... "

Chen Gong was confused when he heard it: "Find out what to do..."

"Don't do anything. Just... don't you think it's romantic?"

"It's quite romantic." Chen Gong perfunctory, pointed to the computer: "...But my little angel is so rich?"

An explanation came from behind: "Of course the computer was given to you by the company."

Chen Gong turned back, Qiu Mang hugged his arms and leaned on the next station, staring wide-eyed with a conspiracy-successful villain look: "You're a 'nail household'... The company has given you a good computer, and it has to take advantage of you. Demolition work when you're not there!"

Chen Gong was displeased: "My own computer works very well!"

"Hey! Deputy Supervisor Chen - HALO's staff benefits are good, and even the little girl at the front desk has specially equipped a beautiful MAC - your assembly machine is really dazzling!"

Chen Gong's displeasure added one more point to being described as "glare" to describe his hard-to-assemble computer: "My keyboard and chassis will still flash!"

Qiumang was a little weak: "Deputy Supervisor Chen, this is the problem..."

The computer that Chen Gong used before was built by himself at a high price when he earned his first year-end bonus in HALO—the motherboard, hard disk, sound card, graphics card... All kinds of hardware configurations were carefully selected by Chen Gong himself, facing the Internet , and assemble it into a main box that looks like an "alien battleship".

When the power is pressed, the whole machine will make a loud noise first, and then a "Ambilight" will flash on the chassis...

On the first day of Director Zheng's entry, he was holding a cup of black coffee in his right hand, and his left hand was operating smoothly on the MAC touchpad like a piano. It was the first time that he witnessed Chen Gong start up. At that time, the elegant Young Master Zheng first spilled his coffee from the fright, and then with a polite smile, he apologized leisurely for his gaffe: "I'm sorry - just now I thought it was going to explode..."

Since it was the company's good intentions, it wouldn't be very good for him to compete. Chen Gong could only bite the bullet and sit in the chair and turn on the computer. He was still complaining: "I built it myself, and it's all top-notch... All these add up to a machine worth 10,000 yuan—and besides, a computer is a weapon, and a weapon can be used at your fingertips. I can't use this kind of foreign goods. , it affects my work efficiency too much... "

Qiumang was directly immune to Chen's long-windedness, and only leaned over and whispered: "Remember what you promised me?"

Chen Gong glanced at Qiumang and remembered what he had said during the holiday - "As long as Zheng Yi doesn't leave, I can guarantee that I will do business in the future and not seek personal revenge!" - These words have changed over time, but at this moment, there is a strange awkwardness in the aftertaste. Feeling... Chen Gong didn't want to take a closer look, so he responded impatiently: "Remember."

Qiumang was relieved, straightened his body again, and the volume returned to normal: "'Little Angel Game' - has everyone explained it to you?"

"Explained."

"In the morning, each of us drew lots to choose our own 'little master' - Deputy Supervisor Chen, you are not here, so the last remaining chip is yours, and I have someone put it on your workstation for you..."

Chen Gong glanced around the table and found a small pink envelope wrapped with a ribbon.

"Yeah—that's it."

"You dismantled Nian Nian for me." Chen Gong was busy dealing with a new computer that was out of hand, and was too lazy to play boring games.

Qiumang raised the document paper rolled into a stick in his hand and threatened him: "You can't figure out the situation - only you can know the name of this person! If it is revealed, the bonus will be deducted!"

Chen Gong sighed and touched the envelope: "I still don't understand the computer here..."

Qiu Mang was deliberately angry with Chen Gong: "If you don't understand, then learn more from Director Zheng - Director Zheng was already a loyal fan in the G5 era."

It happened that Zheng Yi led people out of the meeting room, and when passing by, he said politely and generously: "It doesn't matter, feel free to ask me for advice if you don't understand."

- "Learn more from Director Zheng!"

— "Just ask me for advice."

The two brothers and sisters sang together, making Chen Gong half-dead.

After seeing the client on his way to the company, Sean sent the relevant information to Chen Gong.

Sean works for a small and prestigious modeling agency in Beijing. This time, I found HALO with a budget of 600,000, and wanted to make a set of "works" for 20 new models who have just signed into the company.

The so-called "work" is not simply opening a studio and sending a group of photographers to take a few sets of portrait photos for each model; it is the kind of plane or film and television with "names" that can be written on the model card. "Resume", which is convenient for them to refer to customers when they take up work in the future.

Facing an unfamiliar operating system completely different from Windows, Chen Gong clumsily downloaded these attachments from Sean from his mailbox, and clumsily flipped through the twenty people's information, and clumsily opened it again. The electronic document intends to tap some "inspiration" by myself...

After clumsily typing out a few words and clumsily deleting a few words, Chen Gong, whose mind was blank, had the urge to smash the new computer.

When it was clear that there was a case to be dealt with, the old computer that had been used well was forcibly demolished; facing this delicate and beautiful MAC, Chen Gong gradually felt that these "rich people's equipment" were all the same as "rich people's equipment". I" have the same face: hypocritical and troublesome.

I simply replaced it with pen and paper and wrote a plan - 600,000 to make 20 newcomer models, and to make a set of promotional photos and two low-cost promotional videos without special effects, in fact, it is almost the same.

It's just that the profit of this case is not high, and the scale of 20 people is large... If you really want to go to the stage of execution, the cost of personnel energy is also an expense - a bit tasteless: if you accept it, you will not make any money; if you don't accept it, it will be a waste of money. .

HALO's business scope is mainly divided into two parts.

The most common business is [private custom photography]: HALO signs a group of high-quality photographers in the name of the brand to cooperate, and then the marketing department receives private orders and assigns them to photographers - this business is similar to brokerage operations: helping Photographers find jobs, help clients find photographers, and earn a commission in the middle. This piece of business is a [small profit but quick turnover] business that HALO uses to spread word of mouth and dominate the market.

The core business is brand service: it is usually entrusted by the brand party to clarify the needs of photography publicity. HALO undertakes the entire case from the initial planning to the final implementation - this is the visual department headed by Zheng Yichen Gong. .

Chen Gong also knew that he was exactly as Wang Yao said: he was a skilled worker.

When it comes to professional ability, it's up to Chen Gong to be a [chief photographer], but let him make plans... Chen Gong has always found it very difficult. The reason why I have been sitting in the position of the deputy director of the visual department for so long is because of the lack of manpower in the early stage of HALO's business, and many things can only be put on the shelves. did it today...

The tip of the pen scratched on the paper for a long time, but in the end nothing useful was written.

When he was in a turmoil, Lao Wang called: "Xiao Chen, are you free at noon tomorrow?"

"Yes—what's the matter?"

"The hotel client I told you last time - the one who wanted to do a promotional campaign with 200,000 people - I made an appointment and decided to reject them. But because it was a case recommended by my friend, it was too embarrassing for me to refuse in person. Now, will you go for me?"

"Okay, noon tomorrow, right?"

"Well. At that moment, I set a specific time and the restaurant to WeChat to you, hard work!"

"It's nothing." Chen Gong agreed.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Gong walked around and asked, "Who is free at noon tomorrow? Go see a client with me."

A girl raised her hand actively: "Deputy Supervisor Chen! I can!"

Chen Gong Xunsheng looked - it was the previous intern who detained her for overtime and made up for work, and ended up telling Zheng Yi about himself. Chen Gong was a little hesitant and didn't really want to take her; but after she raised her hand, no one else responded, and Chen Gong was not a person who was good at dealing with interpersonal relationships...

After thinking about it, he said, "Okay, it's up to you. Tomorrow, dress a little bit more carefully."

Chen Gong still feels that the incident was a Rashomon incident - even if Zheng Yi is impulsive, he is not really brainless; things will eventually lead to a big fight between the two, even if it is inevitable that the reason is 90% other than Zheng Yi's recklessness, Chen Gong always felt that at least 10% of the reason was "probably" that the intern deliberately used guiding words to cause Zheng's misunderstanding...

Of course, Chen Gong has no evidence—how the intern described the "case" to Zheng Yi when he overstepped the level to report, Chen Gong also doesn't know... So it's just "possible".

But Chen Gong was sitting upright, and he didn't feel that this matter was worth spending energy on researching and scrutinizing it.

After arranging this matter, Chen Gong got up and went to make himself a cup of coffee.

When he came back, Chen Gong glanced at the director's station opposite - Zheng Yi's side also seemed to be entangled in business, his brows were slightly pouted, and his eyes moved intently on the screen; the sleeves of the clean non-iron white shirt were rolled up to his elbows. , revealing neat forearm lines, slender fingers tapping the keyboard, very fast.

"Heh" Chen Gong sneered in a low voice - when he was working seriously, he was like a dog.

Withdrawing his gaze, Chen Gong rationalized his thoughts and decided that he should be patient and try to accept this new computer.

Shaking off the black screen saver, Chen Gong opened the document, knocked his head at the electronic document, and then picked up the piece of paper with his "brainstorming" written on it to organize his thoughts and enter it, Chen Gong noticed this. The strange piece of paper itself—a flimsy pink envelope.

- Lottery chips containing "Little Angel Games".

Chen Gong opened the unreliable seal, unfolded the neatly folded paper in the envelope, and there was a name written on it very bloody...

It is "Zheng Yi".

The author has something to say:-

My behavior is really "stinky brother" behavior...

Every time I feel that the plot is too bloody, I will complain about "dog blood" in the text, so that if I complain about myself, you will be embarrassed to complain about my "dog blood"...

[holding glasses]

Zheng Yi: "Dad can't be more bloody! I like that kind of - 'the next day when the two of them wake up in the same bed and feel pain somewhere in the same bed' kind of blood!"

Chen Gong: "It hurts? Was it caught by you?"

Zheng Yi: "..."
