3. Why do you need to sleep for a long time when you are alive, and you will sleep forever after you die

The two weeks after returning from Macau flew by, and Jiang Yi was busy with event reports and writing new client pitches.

The June Review (performance appraisal) is not far away, and there is a promotion and salary increase, these two things are extremely important to Jiang Yi.

The team she oversees is actually a fashion brand, and this vodka event was purely due to the sudden departure of the head of the F&B (food) team, and she was ordered to take over the main event of the year. The more wonderful the report, the more wonderful her plus points will be.

As for the new customer, it is a luxury brand with a very prestigious reputation in France, but it has just entered the Chinese market. After Jiang Yi inquired, they found at least seven companies to compare the drafts, including almost all the well-known public relations groups and independent public relations firms. Jiang Yi followed the director to attend the meeting, and the other party's appeal was very clear and straightforward, the contract period was one year, and the goal was to enter the Chinese market as quickly as possible. The scope of work includes traditional public relations and digital marketing, which requires a full-service solution.

The goal is extremely clear, but it is a problem for the people who participate in the competition, because everyone has easily solved the brand needs and positioning, and how to stand out seems to be creative, scheming, and even the brand's love for the team's personality and aura.

From the basic survey of the competitor's brand, the media's impression of the brand and familiarity with the brand, to the creative and planned content such as the theme plan of the annual PR manuscript, the large-scale event support plan, and the digital marketing strategy, the initial case is presented to the client within five working days.

Jiang Yi's brain has been completely drained in the past few days, and he summoned the team to do several brainstorming, revised the draft back and forth with the director six times, and worked overtime until eleven or twelve o'clock for four days, so that the director could send out the proposal seemingly calmly on the morning of the fifth day.

On Friday night, Jiang Yi decided to get off work on time and go out for a run to relax.

Jiang Yi Company on Nanjing West Road, the building is magnificent, in line with the company's positioning. Although the apartment she rented was only a ten-minute walk from the company, it was crammed into a small one-bedroom apartment in an alley. Old-fashioned house with creaking stairs going up the stairs. Jiang Yi is a foothold, four years later, it is still like an hourly room, and he comes back to change clothes, or take a bath, sleep, and can't give him a sense of belonging.

More than once, the current director patted her on the shoulder before leaving work and said kindly: "Don't always work overtime, go back early." Work-lifeBalance. ”

Jiang Yi raised a warmer and more false smile at her every time, nodded, and then continued to work overtime.

Work-life balance? This is simply the humanistic care of capitalist hypocrisy, of course, she can choose to work less overtime and do less, but in this way her salary will be less and her promotion will be slower. After all, you still have to live. Hehe.

Changing into a running outfit, Jiang Yi came out of the apartment and ran along Nanjing West Road in the direction of Jing'an Temple.

When she first moved here, she was bewildered by the neon lights at night on Nanjing West Road, which made her feel the splendor of the metropolis. Side by side in Grand Gateway Plaza and Isetan in Weston, high-end leather goods are placed in the translucent windows, and the models on the façade advertisements look down on her with proud expressions.

Now, as she walks through rows of neon-lit sycamores, she runs past the doorways of one luxury store after another, and she sees office workers in a hurry, young men and women who still don't want to return home in the middle of the night, aunts and uncles who go out early in the morning to buy breakfast at the lattice shop on the small street

She is more realistic and prefers this kind of running. Passing by these people made her feel like she was finally fitting in.

The ringtone broke the melody inside the headphones, and Jiang Yi took off the mobile phone tied to his arm, an unfamiliar number.

"Hey." She leaned aside and stood still, and at this time she had arrived at Jing'an Temple. As the night falls, the traffic lights change at wide intersections, and the crowd moves along the sidewalks.

"I'm Zhao Zheng." A deep voice came from the other end of the phone, heavy.

His timbre matches the night.

Jiang Yi quickly went over the names in his mind, and after three seconds, he spoke: "My shoes have been repaired?" ”

“…… At last. When you're free, I'll send it to you. ”

With a man like him, Jiang Yi didn't mind seeing him a few more times.

"Well, wait a minute, let me see the time."

Jiang Yi opened the mailbox to synchronize the calendar, densely packed with various colors. There was a gap tomorrow, but she didn't want to be too urgent. Slide your finger to the right to the next week, finally finding a suitable gap.

She looked up, and was about to reply, when she suddenly caught the tall figure coming out of Ruiou across the road. He was holding two JimmyChoo bags in his hand and talking on his phone in the other.

Jiang Yi immediately turned his back, turned on the camera function of his mobile phone, switched to selfie mode, and took pictures in the mirror. She brushed her hair to make sure she was still in perfect condition, and then turned around again and approached the earpiece: "Are you at Rui Ou Department Store?" ”

As she spoke, she saw the men on the other side of the street looking around, and the flow of cars and people blocked between them, moving quickly or slowly. The person on the other end of the line didn't ask, "Where are you?" for a moment, his gaze met hers.

Jiang Yi seemed to see neon in his eyes, shiny and bright.

"I'll come here." He said.

In the cold spring, he wore a jacket with a thin fabric, but his skeleton and muscles stretched out a sense of refinement. None of the slacks without a fit can break his long legs, and the proportions are just right, and they are close to perfection.

As for physiognomy, it is very upright and very symmetrical. Sword eyebrows and starry eyes, chin, nose bridge, eyebrow bones, neat and clean lines, without any femininity. Walking with neat steps is simply a walking male hormone.

Jiang Yi's gaze was fixed on him, and the spring/dream of two weeks ago came to her mind, and she actually felt that her face was a little burning.

At this moment, Zhao Zheng was already standing in front of her.

"Hello." He said hello decently.

Jiang Yi cleared his throat and resumed his usual smile: "What a coincidence." ”

"Indeed."

Jiang Yi thought that the routine of looking like him should be very deep, so she waited for him to continue the topic.

And then, there was no then.

He just stood straight in front of her, looking at her. Jiang Yi pondered, did this mean that she wanted her to speak? Yes, for the sake of his words, Jiang Yi allowed him to be passive and proud.

"Now that you've met, find a place to sit?" Jiang Yi said.

"Okay."

"Do you have any recommendations?"

"Whatever you want."

It doesn't seem to be a lot of words, Jiang Yi has a good impression of it. There were too many talking tongues around her, including herself, who were clever and eloquent.

There is a Western restaurant on the first floor of Rui Ou Department Store, and Jiang Yi led Zhao Zheng in.

Sitting down, Jiang Yi asked, "What to drink?" ”

"Water."

Jiang Yi frowned: "Comeon! It\-sFridaynight！ (Please!) It's Friday night! ）”

"You're going to drink?"

"Of course." Jiang Yi smiled and beckoned to the waiter.

"Give me a Margaret." She curled half of the corners of her lips at Zhao Zheng, "What do you want?" ”

"A glass of classical."

OldFashion, Jiang Yiwu nodded to himself, he did look quite old-fashioned.

After the waiter left, Zhao Zheng took the shoebox out of the bag and placed it in the empty space of the table, going straight to the point.

"I'm sorry it took so long to contact you. It took some time at the counter. He opened the two shoeboxes one after another, but Jiang Yi saw two pairs of unfamiliar shoes.

"They said the shoes couldn't be repaired, they were old again, and there was no new inventory. I had to ask them to help find two similar ones, and I only got them today. ”

Jiang Yi looked at the two pairs of high-heeled shoes in front of him that were seven or eight points similar and unbelievably beautiful, and was stunned.

She didn't expect to be suddenly smashed with RMB, and the domestic counters of these two pairs of shoes added up to 10,000 yuan.

"Mr. Zhao, I'm not greedy. I'm afraid I won't dare to accept these two pairs of shoes. She smiled, but there was murder in her eyes.

Zhao Zheng seemed to want to phrase it, and was silent for a moment before speaking: "Don't get me wrong. I didn't know what the difference between these two pairs was, so I brought them both. Since it's an apology, I think we should be sincere. ”

A non-wavering tone, a bland statement. Jiang Yi really didn't find the slightest taste of flamboyant tongue on his face.

"Then I can't take it, it's not my style." Jiang Yi's tone softened, his finger tapped his chin, and he said, "You can still give it to your girlfriend, or sister or sister." ”

"No one else." He replied without thinking, seriously, "It's just you." ”

Jiang Yi's right eyebrow raised.

"Your Margaret." The waiter appeared just right, "Your classic cocktail." ”

"Thank you." Almost at the same time.

Jiang Yixiao leaned back in his chair and picked up his wine glass: "Cheers."

Zhao Zheng clinked glasses with her.

He lowered his eyebrows and drank in silence, not looking at her.

"How did you recognize me?" Jiang Yi asked, "My dress is very different from last time." ”

"You're good-looking, eye-catching." Again, it was a serious answer without hesitation.

Jiang Yi dared to say that all the people who were talking nonsense had seen it, but he had never seen someone who praised someone as hard as him.

His distracted appearance made Jiang want to go to the kidneys all the time. Ah, I want to eat him alive.

"Your night running gear is pretty professional." I don't know if I felt Jiang Yi's scorching gaze, Zhao Zheng took the initiative to start another topic.

Jiang nodded: "Either you don't do it, or you can do it to the extreme." ”

"Do you have a set running time?"

"It's hard for us to have a fixed time. If I don't travel or work overtime, I'll go out for a run at six in the morning. Running at night depends on the mood. ”

"And how are you feeling today?"

"The wine glass is in the hand, and the beautiful man is on the side." Jiang Yi took a sip of the salt on the edge of the wine glass and smiled at Zhao Zheng: "Of course: good mood." ”

Zhao Zheng choked on a sip of wine in his throat, which was very strong.
