14. Ape droppings
It's raining again.
The sky outside was overcast, and the raindrops crackled and smashed against the floor-to-ceiling windows.
More than 20 people in Yueji Studio were all gathered in a small conference room, surrounded by an indissolvable atmosphere of decadence.
Shu Nan, an intern on the left-hand side, was standing and being beaten by the editor-in-chief, his chubby fingers twisted together, his head drooping, and he couldn't lift his energy.
Liang Qiao pulled his neckline irritably. The chest cavity seemed to be filled with cement, heavy, and breathless. The feeling of suffocation could not be relieved, and she leaned back and exhaled faintly.
The corners of Shu Nan's eyes immediately tilted a little to her side, her body moved slightly, leaned over, and poked her arm with her fingers.
Liang Qiao raised his eyes and looked at her, what are you doing?
Shu Nan called for help with his mouth: Help!
Help me!
Liang Qiao also shouted in his heart.
After a pause, he lowered his head and secretly took out his mobile phone under the table, opened WeChat, and sent a message to Fei Fei: On the fifth day of your departure, I miss you...... [Crying]
Fei Fei was probably busy and didn't reply.
Liang Qiao locked the screen, the mobile phone turned around between his fingers, and the person leaned loosely on the back of the chair, his eyes staring at the editor-in-chief's mouth, but all his ears heard was the lingering sound of rain.
Finally, the long ideological education ended, Shu Nan was relieved, and he breathed a long sigh of relief when he sat down. The editor-in-chief stopped to take a sip of water and started a new round of bombardment on everyone.
"I know the weather has been bad lately, and everyone is prone to depression, but they all cheer me up! The manuscript in the public mailbox is going to be piled up, speed up the review, everyone! Wan Qian knocked on the table.
Everyone responded without much energy.
Wan Qian rolled her eyes angrily, "Fei Fei resigned, the authors under her, Da Qiao, Shu Nan, Zixin, and Qi Cai, the four of you take over, except for the fist in the painting, how to divide the others, you can discuss." Then he turned to Liang Qiao and said in a businesslike tone, "Da Qiao, you are responsible for the fist in the painting." ”
Liang Qiao made an OK gesture, and then Han Zixin was not convinced, and muttered in a low voice: "Eccentric!" ”
said that they would share it by themselves, and gave the fist in the painting to Liang Qiao alone, there are so many miscellaneous people under her, can you take care of it!
Punch in the Picture was one of the first authors to sign up to their studio, and it was also the most well-known, with few but fine works, known for writing ancient novels with huge structures and heavy themes. She can almost be said to be the signature of Yueji Studio now, and it is no wonder that Han Zixin wants to compete with Liang Qiao.
Regarding Han Zixin's complaints, Wan Qian completely ignored them. She put the fist in the painting. Leaving Liang Qiao in charge has his own considerations.
Because in addition to creating a lot of sales myths, Fist in the Painting is also a drag legend. Fei Fei is the veteran of the editorial department, and she is also the editor in charge of the painting from the beginning, and the two have a good personal relationship, and she has her own way of dealing with the painting boxing.
But now that she has resigned, it is of course the best policy to hand over this procrastination king to Liang Qiao, who is the most desperate to urge the draft.
During the lunch meal, Fei Fei made a phone call, Liang Qiao hurriedly swallowed the beef that had not been chewed in his mouth for a long time, and shouted with some excitement after connecting: "Baby! ”
There were many pairs of eyes in the restaurant, Liang Qiaohun didn't care, and when he heard the long-lost voice on the other end of the phone, he felt that his little heart, which had been restless for a few days, was instantly soothed.
Fei Fei chuckled a few times: "Da Qiao, I'm sorry, I've been busy looking at houses and picking hotels for the past few days, so I didn't bother to call you." How are you, don't you think I can't sleep? ”
"No, it's not like it's tasteless!" Liang Qiao sighed and asked her at the end, "What about you, are you still suffering from morning sickness now?" Are you used to eating food over there? ”
"I'm very good, my parents-in-law are very good to me, they change their tricks to make me delicious food every day, and I gained five pounds in a few days." Fei Fei said, "I dreamed of you last night. ”
"Oh? Dream of us fighting three hundred rounds? Liang Qiao laughed sheepishly.
"you!" Fei Fei snorted at her, "I dreamed that you pointed to my stomach and said that it was an egg, and said that you were hungry, so let me quickly give birth and cook it for you to eat......"
“……”
Liang Qiao held his forehead: "How can I be so cruel." ”
Fei Fei was happy for a while, and then said, "By the way, do you want to be my bridesmaid?" I discussed it with Xiao Fan, and I plan to hold the wedding next month, otherwise I won't be able to wear a wedding dress if I drag my belly up in the future. Will you be my bridesmaid then? ”
"Of course." Liang Qiao smiled and said, "But I'm so beautiful, aren't you afraid that the limelight will be stolen by me?" ”
Fei Fei was furious: "Is it okay for me to be 10,000 times more beautiful than you in a wedding dress!! If you dare to steal my limelight, I will blow up your fruit photos! ”
Liang Qiao laughed, and then suddenly switched to sensational mode, and said in a very gentle and doting tone: "I will definitely accompany you at the most important moment in your life." ”
Fei Fei snorted: "Then it's decided!" ”
In the following month, the new book was officially launched, and in the first week of its release, it quickly jumped to the sales charts of major websites, and then began to sign books in several major cities across the country. After all, it is the treasure of their magazine, and Liang Qiao accompanied him throughout the process.
In addition, she also has two books to be published, full manuscript review, proofreading, cover, illustration and inner page layout design contact, marketing campaign planning, and editor's recommendation copywriting...... And so on, so busy that your feet don't touch the ground.
When the signing meeting of the Picture Fist was over, the two new books went down to the printing factory one after another, and Liang Qiao finally breathed a sigh of relief.
At the same time, Fei Fei's wedding is about to take place.
The colleagues of the magazine all received the invitation, but after all, everyone has their own things to do, and not everyone is familiar with Fei Fei, although Xiao Fan promised to be responsible for everyone's round-trip air tickets in order to make Fei Fei happy, but there are not many people who are willing to fly to City B to deliver red envelopes.
Liang Qiao, together with Wan Qian and Shu Nan, boarded the plane to City B.
Xiao Fan was so intimate that even the hotel was ready for them, and he took Fei Fei with him to pick them up in person.
As soon as the three of them came out of the gate, Fei Fei jumped up and waved her hand wildly, so frightened that Xiao Fan hurriedly held her down: "Don't be excited, ancestor, be careful baby!" ”
Liang Qiao saw them from afar, ran over with the box in the wind, and then threw it at his feet, and picked up Fei Fei, "I miss you!" ”
Xiao Fan has been a little nervous lately because he is too nervous, and Fei Fei's slightly bigger movements can scare his soul out. Liang Qiao's hug made him frightened, but fortunately she just picked up Fei Fei, turned it upside down and put it down, and didn't pick it up and take a round like before.
"I've really gained a lot of weight." Liang Qiao sighed, and when he saw Fei Fei's extra double chin, his hands tickled.
Xiao Fan silently picked up the box that Liang Qiao had thrown on the ground, and went to pick up the luggage of the other two ladies: "I'll take it." ”
"Thank you, thank you!" Shu Nan immediately handed over the box with both hands.
Wan Qian smiled politely, "It's okay, I'll do it myself, it's too much for you to hold." ”
After everyone greeted each other affectionately, Xiao Fan drove Liang Qiao and the others to the hotel.
Fei Fei originally wanted to take Liang Qiao home to live, anyway, Xiao Fan's house is quite big, and it is not a problem to live in one more person at all, but in the end she was persuaded by Xiao Fan.
Although everyone knows that she and Liang Qiao have a good relationship, but the three of them came together, and only one person was invited to the house, and the others must be uncomfortable; If you invite them all, not to mention whether your parents will be dissatisfied, it is inconvenient for too many outsiders at home.
Fei Fei and Liang Qiao are so young that they are newlywed, and they are tired of being together and are reluctant to separate. couldn't take Liang Qiao home, Fei Fei simply stayed in the hotel, and the four women nested in a room chattering and giggling, until Xiao Fan came to pick her up at night.
The next morning, she ran over again, woke up Liang Qiao, who hadn't woken up yet, and turned around twice to show her new dress: "Da Qiao, am I beautiful?" ”
"Beautiful!" Liang Qiao yawned sleepily, moved to the side a little, and then patted the soft mattress, "Come and sleep with me for a while?" ”
"Oh, don't sleep, get up quickly, it's my bachelor today!" Fei Fei said excitedly.
"What?" Liang Qiao woke up suddenly, "The bachelor you are talking about, is it the one I understand?" ”
Fei Fei's eyes lit up and nodded: "That's right! I told Xiao Fan that on the last day of our single career, we will go our separate ways and we can't interfere with each other. ”
"How are you going to play?" Liang Qiao sat up and leaned against the head of the bed to look at her.
Fei Fei looked like she took it for granted, "Go to a nightclub!" ”
In the end, the three of them were all shouted by Fei Fei, ate breakfast together, walked around the mall all morning, and at Fei Fei's instigation, they each bought a set of "nightclub equipment", and then ate at noon, and were taken by Fei Fei to do a spa and do a hairstyle.
After eating some snacks casually for dinner, Liang Qiao was still a little incredulous when he was dragged to a nightclub by Fei Fei.
Xiao Fan's wife-protecting maniac was really relieved to let his pregnant wife come to the nightclub to play on the eve of the wedding?
Then a few minutes later, she got her answer.
Hehe, of course it's not at ease.
Xiao Fan led a large group of men into the store, his eyes swept around, and he saw a few of them, almost walking in a straight line.
Liang Qiao's eyes were sharp, and he saw the gang of people first, and of course he also saw the scumbag whose temperament was too special and could still be noticed at a glance when he walked at the back of the crowd.
Today, this guy rarely wears a black shirt, a beige long-sleeved shirt, with khaki slacks, a very ordinary and casual outfit, probably because of his height, he still looks eye-catching in the crowd.
During this time, it was the International Architecture Exchange Conference in City B, and Guan Yi, as a well-known real estate developer in China, was naturally invited to participate. Guan Heng came back with his eldest brother Guan Che, and stopped by to see his grandfather who he hadn't seen for a long time.
I was watching the news with the old man at night, and I was temporarily called out of the house by my brothers, and I didn't have time to change my clothes. When he was a child, he went to school in City B for a few years, and he was classmates with Xiao Fan, and later after moving to City C, he had less contact, but he would get together every year when he came back.
Guan Heng shook the car keys in one hand and stuck the other in his trouser pocket, walking in the back gracefully. Tong Yu, who didn't know when he dyed his yellow hair, kept chattering with him about the beautiful woman he hooked up with yesterday.
Probably because the gaze on him was too deep, he raised his eyes and met a pair of familiar eyes. The light in the nightclub is blurred, her eyes seem to have two swirls, the corners of her eyes are slightly upturned, and she has a smile on her lips, seducting people without knowing it.
Guan Heng's gaze immediately became meaningful. What kind of ape droppings is this, can you all encounter it here?
But she is so beautiful today, her makeup is a little brighter than usual, and her sexy lips are painted with retro red lipstick, which is particularly charming between light and shadow.
Wearing a short black tight skirt with a small V-neck design on the chest, revealing a shallow ravine, it seems to be bottomless in the dark, which makes people want to find out more and more. Under the skirt, two long, slender and white legs overlapped, and the toes swayed slowly.
Guan Heng's gaze slowly and unabashedly walked around her, the smile on the corner of his mouth became heavier and heavier, and the interest hidden in his eyes seemed to be a little stronger.
The two of them looked at each other, did not shy away from it, and secretly competed energetically.
Fei Fei crossed her waist and confronted Xiao Fan, angry: "Didn't you say that you don't interfere with each other, why are you following us?" ”
"I didn't." Xiao Fan lied sternly and pointed to the person behind him, "It's Guan Er who has to come here." ”
Guan Heng, who was staring at Liang Qiao with wide eyes, was suddenly cued up, and looked confused: "Is it me?" Receiving the look handed over by Xiao Fan, the corners of his mouth twitched, he couldn't dismantle his brother's table, so he had to resist this pot by himself, "Okay, it's me." ”
Fei Fei snorted heavily with her nostrils, how can the ghost believe it!
Xiao Fan made persistent efforts: "Since it happened so coincidentally, why don't we sit together." ”
Fei Fei, who was angry, hadn't said anything yet, and a yellow head appeared behind Xiao Fan out of nowhere, and he responded loudly: "Okay!" Then he glanced at several beauties with shining eyes, went straight to Liang Qiao, and sat down next to her, "I'll just sit here, this feng shui is good!" ”
