The peach-shaped birthmark was observed by Zheng Yi when he played that video about 50 times in... The film itself was of poor quality, and because it was recorded secretly, there was no art of moving mirrors... So in order to capture this "visual" Identify the point", Zheng Yi put in a lot of effort.

Although every angle is very similar, Zheng Yi holds a fluke and sincerely does not hope that the victim is Chen Gong.

Zheng Yi thought of this, in addition to sympathizing with Chen Gong, he also had a certain life-saving mentality.

-According to the clues provided by Qiu Mang before: Chen Gong, who was a student, finally chose to give up his income when he was so short of money. With his principled personality, something must have happened that he couldn't accept...

Could this matter be forcibly violated by the guests...

If things are really as Zheng Yi thinks... Then the misunderstanding of Chen Gong's "aggression against others" a few days ago has not touched Chen Gong's deepest pain point

If he hit Chen Gong's deepest sore spot, would Chen Gong hate him to the bone

Thinking of this, Zheng Yi was a little suffocated.

After finishing his work, Zheng Yi took a detour to the operation department.

The operation department was dark and no one was there—Yang Yi may have gone out to make an appointment with a customer.

Zheng Yi was a little lonely looking at the large empty work station.

At this moment, escaping from the emotions he had just suppressed, Zheng Yicai recalled the "fake call" that Yang Yi had just made to him. Zheng Yi was still confused when he called, so he didn't take Yang Yi seriously—what Yang Yi said to him on the phone, even Zheng Yi couldn't remember at all at the moment.

He took out his phone from his pants, Zheng Yi opened WeChat and turned to [Xiaoyang], and sent him a message: Are you still busy

Received a quick reply: yes... [cries].

Zheng Yi replied to him: Then you are busy first, it doesn't matter.

After a while, he added: My brother is going to Chengdu on business tomorrow, I can't accompany you during the holidays, you have to have fun.

[Little Sheep] replied: Ah... I'm so reluctant!

Zheng Yi looked at the sentence "reluctant to bear" and laughed to himself again - the feeling of being depended on is actually quite good. So Zheng Yi's forehead returned to Wen, and he thought about it and said: Then wait for me to come back and then compensate me

[Little Sheep] replied: Good! [shy].

Satisfied, Zheng Yi turned around and walked out of the Operations Department office.

At 11:13 in the middle of the night, Chen Gong received an email.

The sender is [Zheng Yi], the recipient is a customer, and the cc is to [Chen Gong].

When he received the email, Chen Gong was looking for a small noodle shop in Chongqing in a small alley near the hotel for dinner. Erliang noodles cost 6 yuan, which is in sharp contrast to the prices in Beijing.

Although it was late summer, the climate in Shu was hot and humid, and Chen Gong was sweating profusely while eating noodles.

I downloaded the [attachment] in the email with my mobile phone, and opened the poster picture that Zheng Yi supplemented. Holding the phone and looking at it for a while, then I pressed down the screen of the phone with peace of mind.

—One thing to say: Zheng Yi's design level is really amazing.

Just now Chen Gong received a call from President Wang, saying that Zheng Yi was arranged to come to Chengdu tomorrow to assist Chen Gong in the negotiation.

Chen Gong couldn't understand the intention of Pharaoh's arrangement: "I can do it by myself: I will finish the Jingkan tomorrow, and tomorrow night I will sort out the contract and sign it the day after tomorrow - it's useless for Zheng Yi to come."

"I can't trust you on this matter." President Wang was also straightforward: "Xiao Zheng came back from abroad, so he usually dresses up a little more handsomely; you, you are rustic all the time... all the scenes that Xiao Zheng has checked before. , the female clients love it.”

Chen Gong was also unable to defend himself.

- One thing to say: Zheng Yi's aesthetic level is really awesome.

Zheng Yi did come back from studying abroad, and he won a grand slam for his degree awards. When the girls in the company usually talk about makeup and fashion, Zheng Yi can also interject a few words. Western-style, delicate, well-dressed... tasteful and handsome, with a humorous personality and a free and easy personality.

Zheng Yi is very popular in the company.

Chen Gong's self-assessment: his background can't even reach the "ordinary" benchmark - he can't compare with someone like Zheng Yi.

At the end of July, the Hangzhou branch was established. The former director of the visual department and a few capable people were dispatched there to "reclaim the wasteland", leaving the director position for Chen Gong "for promotion" - even Lao Wang did so. Chen Gong promised.

However, in mid-August, when Zheng Yi joined the job as the "Director of the Visual Department", Chen Gong only knew that what he almost got had been stolen.

Regarding this matter, Pharaoh explained to Chen Gong: "When Brother Wang and I was a young boy, the father of Zheng Yi once helped me, and he also explained to me that if he could help Zheng Yi, he would do more. Help - don't be wronged, I said hello to Qiu Mang: your salary will go up by 20% - the salary of the director! You have the final say in the affairs of the department... uh, you have the upper hand - Zheng Yi After all, he is here to assist you. He just wronged you in name, when did Brother Wang wrong you in other places?"

Chen Gong nodded and said "I understand", but there was always a lump in his heart.

Chen Gong didn't like Zheng Yi.

This is how life is: some people are desperately trying to get a living, and they almost climbed up the position after painstaking efforts;

Chen Gong knew that he was a typical "Phoenix Man".

In fact, Chen Gong's definition of this word is still in a daze... This is how his ex described him when he broke up with him: "Phoenix man: After flying up the branches and becoming a phoenix, he can't get rid of the kind of man who got poor and sour when he was a wild duck. -You're typical!"

Chen Gong grabbed his collar and sniffed the shirt on his body that was soaked in sweat all day long. He sucked 6 yuan and two taels of noodles from the bowl, and reflected on himself that "poor and sour gas" is probably the smell. .

But then I thought about it again: after all, I was flying up the branches with my own sweat and blood, and it was not thrown up by a slingshot from God...

At least not sorry to myself.

After returning to the hotel after dinner, Chen Gong took a good bath. After coming out of the bathroom, Chen Gong saw a missed call from [Qiu Mang] two minutes ago, thinking that maybe he had something to explain to himself about the scene survey work, so he called back.

On the other end of the phone, Qiumang asked for credit in a sweet voice: "Senior Chen! Under my urging, Zheng Yi has completed the work—are you satisfied?"

"Very good." Chen Gong replied to her.

Qiu Mang was a little frustrated by Chen Gong's bland reaction: "Will you die if you say 'superb'?"

So Chen Gong imitated Qiumang's tone, squeezed his throat and said softly, "Excellent!"

On the other end of the phone, Qiu Mang was amused and laughed "giggling": "I said—he's a very cute guy, why does the boss usually have a face? Eh! Do you know that there are actually many people in the company secretly calling you behind your back? Male god, when I saw you in person, I was so frightened that I walked away! - I blame your boss for making a face."

Chen Gong couldn't catch Qiu Mang's gossip for a moment, "Uh..." After a while, he countered Qiu Mang and said, "Don't you always carry the air of 'dark hostess' in the company?"

Qiumang automatically ignored Chen Gong's weak counterattack and said the key point: "Zheng Yi worked overtime late at night to make up for this hole, so don't hold your grudge against him any more - he has a reckless personality. The intern misunderstood you with just a few words—he came to the Human Resources Department at noon today to ask me about your whereabouts, not to complain—he wanted to apologize to you, and even bought you a quilt... Tomorrow Zheng Yi will arrive in Chengdu at night, during If there is any conflict, please try to let him... He's a naive person, I'm annoying him to death - doesn't he look like a mature and stable senior from my direct line?"

Chen Gong is different from Zheng Yi, he is not the kind of person who will float away when he praises him; in the face of Qiumang's flattery, he simply replied "Oh".

Qiu Mang took it as soon as he saw it, and planned to strengthen Zheng Yi's "responsible" character before hanging up: "Originally, Zheng Yi had an appointment today, but because he was thinking about his work, he returned after the appointment at 10 o'clock. Went to the company to work overtime - so if you don't remember his credit, you should also remember his hard work..."

After hearing this, Chen Gong was not calm, he frowned, and his voice couldn't help but intensify a bit: "You said - Zheng Yi is still going on a date?!"

Qiumang was at a loss for Chen Gong's attitude: "Eh?... What's wrong?"

Chen Gong was silent for a long time, and finally said "it's okay" in a flat manner, and hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Gong stood there, perhaps because he didn't dry off after taking a shower, his back gradually felt a little cold.

Listening to the busy tone after hanging up, Qiumang felt that Chen Gong seemed to be hiding something.

But Chen Gong's iron mouth, you can't ask what he doesn't want to say.

Qiumang was a little worried about Chen Gong; he was also a little worried about whether there would be any more friction between the two after Zheng Yi rushed to Chengdu. From the company's HR standpoint, Qiumang certainly didn't want to see the head and deputy directors of the department. It's like fire and water; Qiumang doesn't want them to be pointed at Maimang every day because of their positions as "friends" and "school girls".

Zheng Yi is Qiumang's half-bamboo horse, and Chen Gong is Qiumang's senior at the same school during his university days; due to the friendship between the two sides, it is difficult for Qiumang to find the most comfortable position among the old enemies.

At the age of 17, because of his father's job transfer, his family moved to Beijing - Zheng Yi was Qiu Mang's new neighbor.

Qiumang has a younger brother named Qiu. It's easy for boys to play together because they are similar in age. From the autumn, I occasionally heard a few words about Zheng Yi - "I have been buying lunch from the supermarket", "living alone in a whole big house", " There were no parents at the parent-teacher meeting"... After the series, although it was only vague, Qiu Mang also roughly understood Zheng Yi's setting - "the rich version of left-behind children".

So out of sympathy, Qiu's mother began to let Qiu, a classmate of the same level, help Zheng with a lunch every day. Qiu Mang and Zheng Yi got to know each other, and it also started with the opportunity of the boy "because he was taken care of by a lunch box, so he went to the door to thank him".

Zheng Yi is not lacking in manners, and is very good at dealing with people from all walks of life. His usual means of communication is to be a low-profile person. From the beginning of acquaintance, he often talks about "good brother Ah Tian" and "Qiu sister". At the same time, he even used the sweet "Qiu Dad" and "Qiu Mama" to quickly capture the hearts of the parents of the Qiu family; in the most intimate period, even the surname in the address was simply omitted, and quickly transformed into "the third member of the Qiu family". Child".

Every time Zheng Yiqiu's family made fun of him, Qiu Mang would also laugh along with him, and there would be a bit of soreness in his nose when he laughed.

Because Qiumang understood that this was the law of survival for a boy who was forced to mature prematurely—the warmth that Zheng Yi had hoped for happened to be here, so even if his posture was a little lower, he wanted to get a point or two.

So Qiu Mang - or Qiu Family, also shared it with him without hesitation.

As for Chen Gong, he was a teaching assistant in the course of [Architectural Photography Aesthetics] at Qiumang University.

Chen Gong has a rigid and indifferent personality.

Although at the beginning of the course, he also quickly captured the favor of a large number of students with a "salty cold face", but gradually he was defeated by the "strict law enforcement" in his later teaching process - little children can I understand Chen Gong's original intention of "wanting everyone to learn the content of the course", but I only think that he is particularly "difficult and difficult to deal with".

When the school took students from the Department of Environmental Art to the suburbs for photography practice, assistant teacher Chen Gong walked alone as the leader. Qiu Mang heard the classmates beside him laughing and discussing the small hole in Chen Gong's back T-shirt, after thinking about it, he followed in three steps and two steps, shouting in a coquettish tone, "Senior Chen, help me share the burden. What about the weight?" Chen Gong refused, and stuffed the light bag with only one folder in his hand.

Chen Gong was stunned for a second, and when he took the schoolbag and put it on his back, he whispered "Thank you..." to Qiu Mang; only then did Qiu Mang know that he could actually hear the mockery of his classmates.

Every time he looked at Chen Gong, Qiumang felt like he was separated from the ice surface—the light was broken when it passed through, so his outline was clear but elusive. When looking at Zheng Yi, Qiumang felt like it was separated by flames—the light was distorted when it passed through, so his image also swayed into an untouchable appearance.

I couldn't see their original expressions clearly.

Qiu Mang sighed, and while tearing off the mask that had dried on his face, he continued to speculate on Chen Gong's reaction before he hung up the phone.

- "You said - is Zheng Yi still going on a date?!"

- "Even if he has an appointment with the Seven Fairies, he won't be able to go!"

- "Tonight, let Zheng Yi not go anywhere!"

Going back all the way back to the memory, Qiu Mang still doesn't understand what this guy Chen Gong wants to do.

The author has something to say: A reminder: Chen Gong is not jealous, Chen Gong still doesn't like Zheng Yi... The case will be solved in the next two chapters.
