The old man did not have the majestic momentum of the past, with a gentle smile on his face engraved with the traces of time, and his speech was no longer sonorous, but a little softer, he looked like an ordinary old man, but the servants felt that Yan Hongzhang's smile was very kind now, and the friendly atmosphere was stronger than when he left. Just looking at it like this, it's hard to believe that this is Yan Hongzhang who they have been serving for many years.

"My children are not here, and as the head of the family, I am speaking to you on behalf of the Yan family. Xiexie: You've done your best over the years. It's just that now the Yan family doesn't need to hire any more servants, you all go back, severance pay, and go to Qin Chuan to get it in a while. Yan Hongzhang said very simply, but when he heard it in the ears of the servants, he was shocked, and they all showed surprised eyes.

The old man actually said xiexie to them?

Everyone looked at each other, although they were a little frightened, but in fact, they were still moved when they heard the word xiexie in their hearts.

There are more than a dozen of these servants, all of whom have worked in the Yan family for a long time, and some have even grown up watching Yan Jiyun since childhood. Now they are reluctant to leave, but they all know that the old man has always been true to his words and what he says, and since he has decided, they don't have to insist.

The servants came forward to say goodbye to Yan Hongzhang and Yan Jiyun one by one with red eyes, reluctant and depressed, and for a while the room was full of sadness, and the atmosphere was quite dull and depressing.

The so-called shade under the big tree. The Yan family used to be a big tree, and the treatment of working here was very generous, which was incomparable to the outside, but in addition to this, the servants were also sincerely reluctant to give up the Yan family emotionally.

After so many years, Yan Jiyun saw the dismissed maid at home for the first time, and before, he had only seen such a scene on TV. At that time, he would not have felt anything, but now, he felt a deep sense of desolation and bitterness.

It doesn't matter if there is someone waiting for you, but I feel that the world is impermanent, and the ups and downs of life are too great, and no one can predict what will happen tomorrow. The Yan family, which was once in full swing, is no longer beautiful, and I don't know what unexpected difficulties they will face in the future, except for the servants, the family is only deserted, where are the rest of the Yan family? Will they still gather around their grandfather like they used to?

What is life? What is happiness? What do you want most? What to pursue in spite of everything? But what is left in Zuihou? After the vigorous applause, behind the flashy applause, what is the constant thing that you can grasp firmly?

Yan Jiyun lost his mind, his mind was full of thoughts, which aroused his reflection and perception of life, at this moment he seemed to be unable to hear or see anything, immersed in his mind to capture a vague state of mind......

The servants were almost gone, but Sister-in-law Chen was still standing beside Yan Hongzhang and did not move.

"Sister-in-law Chen, why haven't you left yet?" Yan Hongzhang was slightly stunned, he thought that Sister-in-law Chen might have something to say.

Sister-in-law Chen was already in tears, and she endured it very hard to cry, but at this moment, Yan Hongzhang's inquiry made her unable to control it anymore, her nose was sore, and tears were pouring down......

"Old man...... If I don't leave, I won't leave, and I won't leave if you drive me...... I don't have a home, this is my home...... I'm just an orphan, you took me in at the Yan family, and the people here are my relatives...... Don't tell me to leave, let me stay, I don't need a salary, I just want to continue to serve the old man and the eldest young master......" Sister-in-law Chen

Yan Hongzhang and Yan Jiyun glanced at each other at the same time, exchanging complicated expressions, and then, Yan Jiyun chose very wisely...... Slide.

"Ahem...... Grandpa, I'll go upstairs to the study and have a look. After Yan Jiyun finished speaking, he quickly dodged away and hurriedly went upstairs. A crying woman, whether young or old, is a headache, Yan Jiyun handed over this headache to his grandfather to deal with, anyway, Sister-in-law Chen was taken in by her grandfather back then, and the so-called "bell must be tied to the bell".

"You kid!" Yan Hongzhang shook his head at the figure going upstairs, thinking to himself, he had no way to deal with women by himself.

Yan Hongzhang saw that Sister-in-law Chen was crying so sadly, and she was a jiashi who couldn't leave, and he couldn't help but soften...... Sister-in-law Chen is almost sixty years old, she has worked in the Yan family for decades, watched Yan Jiyun grow up, and later took care of Xiao Lemon for a few years, of course he understands her loyalty.

Yan Hongzhang felt that the older he gets, the more he loses his heart of stone, and it is easy to be soft-hearted, so he has to sigh and say: "Okay, Chen Shufen, you can stay, as for the salary, it is still according to the original payment, don't think that I have no money to pay the salary to dismiss everyone." ”

When Sister-in-law Chen heard this, she immediately stopped crying and burst into laughter. For her, there is nothing more good to return to than to stay with the old man.

Sister-in-law Chen wiped her face, wiped her tears and said, "I listen to the old man's arrangement...... I'll cook now! ”

"Hmmm......"

Sister-in-law Chen went down happily, walked a few steps and did not forget to look back at Yan Hongzhang deeply, when she turned around, her cheeks were a little flushed, and she didn't know if it was due to being too happy or some other reason, in short, Sister-in-law Chen's heart was steady.

Bole Advertising Agency.

Shui Han still goes to work on time as usual, a young man who is serious and responsible, modest and hard-working, naturally won Qiu Jian's love, and while working, he also took into account learning about photography and jishu from Qiu Jian, and constantly improved himself.

Qiu Jian intends to train Shui Han, of course, he will not only let her do miscellaneous work such as assistants, he will let Shui Han express his opinions more and more, and sometimes even let Shui Han practice in his position, and then take out the photos taken by Shui Han alone, point out the deficiencies for her, and give her more experience.

Qiu Jian is the company's graphic photographer, experienced and sophisticated, many people want to develop in this industry, want to get his guidance, but will be directly rejected by him, only for Shui Han, he is like his own apprentice to teach carefully, tireless.

Experience is much more practical than the words in books, and with Qiu Jian's cultivation, Shui Han has made rapid progress in advertising photography, and the rapid progress is staggering. Qiu Jian sometimes said that she didn't seem to be smart, maybe she was really talented in photography, and once she got the guidance of a famous artist, her potential was developed, as if she had been dug up a treasure.

Shui Han was naturally happy when she heard Qiu Jian's appreciation, but she always felt that she was not as good as Qiu Jian said, and it was Qiu Jian's love for her that would praise her so much. To put it bluntly, Shui Han's confidence in himself is insufficient.

When it was about to get off work today, Qiu Jian called Shui Han to the office. Looking at his expression, it seemed that something happy had happened, and Shui Han couldn't help but be a little curious.

Qiu Jian has indeed encountered a happy event, just look at the smile on his face that can't be hidden.

"Teacher Qiu, you are so happy, is it because this year's year-end bonus is more than last year's?"

Qiu Jian frowned: "Am I the kind of person who is happy when I see money?" ”

"Hee-hee...... Not really. Shui Han waved his hand and smiled, and the clean and warm breath always made people feel comfortable.

Qiu Jian didn't sell it anymore, his expression was a little serious, but with a little joy, he gulped half a glass of water, and it seemed that he had a lot to say......

"Shui Han, didn't I say last time that I was going to ask for leave to go to my daughter's place, but now the company has approved it, give me a month's vacation, and I will leave on Sunday, just in time to spend the Spring Festival with my daughter!" Qiu Jian's eyes were shining with love, which was not only missing his daughter, but also reluctant to Shui Han.

"Sunday, that's the day after tomorrow? Haha, great, Mr. Qiu, you have finally taken this step, your daughter will be happy! Shui Han's bright eyes are extremely clear, and his eyes smile like a crescent moon, which is very cute.

Qiu Jian laughed deeper, raised his hand and handed the documents on the table to Shui Han: "Look, this is a new customer that the company has received, and we want to shoot a new season of print advertising for this product, but since I am going on vacation next week, the advertisement can only be handed over to you to shoot, do a good job, don't embarrass me." ”

"Well, don't worry, Mr. Qiu, I ......" Shui Han nodded habitually, but when he said this, he stopped suddenly, and looked at Qiu Jian with a pair of apricot eyes, revealing a shocked expression: "What...... What the...... Shoot it from me? Do I do it alone? ”

Qiu Jian smiled and nodded excitedly: "That's right, it's up to you to do it alone!" If you shoot this advertisement, you can hope to be promoted from assistant to photographer, how about it, happy? If you're happy, shout out, don't hold back, shout if you want, laugh if you want to laugh! ”

Qiu Jian was kind, and Shui Han was indeed very excited and surprised, but she was not so overwhelmed that she immediately realized a serious problem, and her little face wrinkled into sauerkraut: "Teacher Qiu...... You're all taking on big customers, and this ad must be the same...... I...... I was just a camera assistant and never did it myself...... No, no, I can't afford such a heavy burden, and I can't smash the company's signboard and your reputation in my hands...... No, I really can't, I'm not that good...... At least for the time being, it does not have the ability to shoot alone......"

Shui Han waved her hand and shook her head, anxious to push away this great thing, but it could be seen that she was actually a little entangled in her heart...... Who wouldn't want to take advantage of this great opportunity, but she had the self-knowledge that she thought she was still far behind, so she would suppress that joy and turn away from the advertisement.

Qiu Jian was sometimes very irritable, and when he saw Shui Han resign so quickly, he was anxious in his heart, stretched out his long arm, and pointed his finger heavily on Shui Han's forehead, and said in a tone of hatred that iron is not steel: "You stupid girl, you are really stupid!" Do you think I'm going to joke about business? I can ask you to shoot alone, because I have assessed your ability in advance, and I believe that you can do it with your ability, so I will do this, you listen, I will not allow you to refuse, you must take it for me! ”

“……”

The tone of this command really makes people cry and laugh, but you can also feel Qiu Jian's love for talent. He knows her temperament better than Shui Han himself, the so-called jade is not a weapon, what Shui Han lacks now is a platform to display his talents, an opportunity. It's not that she's incapable, it's just that she doesn't have confidence in herself, and she doesn't know how enviable her talent in photography is.

Shui Han saw that Qiu Jian seemed to be a little angry, and she felt uncomfortable, so she hurriedly went around to him, just like a daughter to a father, pulled his sleeve, smiled sweetly, and said softly: "Teacher Qiu...... You are domineering, if you don't change your temper, what can you do when you see your daughter, don't scare people away. ”

"You ......" Qiu Jian's face was relieved, he couldn't cry or laugh, and said helplessly: "You girl, want to change the topic?" Don't interrupt, obediently put this advertisement Next, I will check and check with you the matters that need to be paid attention to in the shooting at this time before leaving, and then you will not be so busy, remember, you are my Qiu Jian's assistant, I am not there, you must also be able to take charge alone! Do you know how many people in our company are interested in this opportunity? Not to mention the camera assistants, even a few other photographers were eager to snatch them from me! It took me a lot of effort to get the ad to stay, otherwise I wouldn't have had time to shoot it according to the old rules, so I would have to hand it over to another photographer. If you give up such an opportunity, I won't be at ease when I go abroad for a vacation! ”

Qiu Jianneng worries about Shui Han to this, it is no longer a relationship between superiors and subordinates, it is closer than the master and apprentice, he regards Shui Han as his half daughter, so he will spare no effort to win this rare opportunity for Shui Han, for this reason, he has offended many people in the company, but he doesn't care, he thinks it's worth it.

Teacher Qiu...... You do that for me...... I really don't know how to repay her......" Shui Han's throat choked, so moved that she couldn't speak, she had always felt that Qiu Jian took good care of her, but she didn't expect him to think about her like his family. This is not only the fate of master and apprentice, but also a valuable family relationship.

Qiu Jian was infected by Shui Han's reaction, his eyes were slightly hot, and he touched Shui Han's head lovingly, as if he was looking at his daughter in front of him, and said earnestly: "Silly boy, since you call me a teacher and say something to repay, it's too rusty, as long as you work hard for me in the future and strive to sit in my seat as soon as possible, that will be the most rewarding thing for me, understand?" ”

"Sitting in your seat, what's going to do...... I ......"

"Why not? In ancient times, there was a saying called ...... Taught the apprentice and starved the master to death, I don't agree with this, I seriously disagree! As a master, you should hope that your apprentice can be better than the blue, if you can sit in my seat, that is my pride, I will be happier than yourself. Okay, open the file and take a look, I'm going to tell you about the ......," Qiu Jian said, taking out a document from the file bag.

Shui Han doesn't think about resigning now, Qiu Jian treats her so heartily, it's her luck, she seems to have another respectable and amiable elder, now what she has to do is to do all her best to complete this advertisement, otherwise, wouldn't she live up to Qiu Jian's hard work?

Shui Han figured it out, but when she saw the eye-catching font on the information, she was stunned......

"It's ...... Meiyuyan's next season of advertising for its product Meiyan Soup? "How could Shui Han not be surprised, he never imagined that the customer of this business turned out to be Meiyan Soup! [Today's Wan Watch has been passed on.] ]
