I feel like my little prince is back on his planet. Oh no, my little prince has left his planet.

I only dare to secretly make this analogy in my heart, otherwise what roses, princes, if it is said to Xu Yijing, she will inevitably lean forward and laugh at me, a handful of age, pretending to be innocent and romantic.

People who are cowardly and cowardly are not qualified to be sad.

To put it bluntly: I deserve it.

I activated the self-protection device and started a happy life, busy with work, neither sad in the circle of friends, nor a little sadness in front of Xu Yijing, as if I didn't care about Lin Jiangnan's sudden disappearance in life.

But at night, when I am alone, I still can't help but miss the days of this half year, it is bright, it is exciting, like the sunrise of the alternating year of the old and the new, like a hug in the spring breeze, so that I have secretly sprouted some hope.

I imagined that if I hadn't rejected Lin Jiangnan, he would have left so inexplicably; But I also imagined that if I hadn't rejected Lin Jiangnan, maybe I would be even more sad today. The one who leaves, probably will leave anyway.

After working in Defeng for a week, Dong Pingyue called me to his office and asked me if I had a general understanding of the work, but I was still a little apprehensive, so I gave him a slightly vague answer: It's okay.

"Look at you working hard, you've been working overtime this week."

I smiled, "There is a lot of design information, in case there is any urgent work arrangement recently, I am afraid that it will be difficult to get started when the time comes." ”

"Do you have any thoughts after reading them all?" He smiled and asked me, "I mean, I'm not a professional in design, I'd like to hear your opinion." ”

This proposition is a bit big and directionless. I looked at Dong Pingyue in a daze, and said in my heart that this guy can't be a smiling tiger, right? I don't know what he wants me to say, I don't want to ask, I can't help but say, so after two clicks, he said: "Because the positioning of the outsourcing project is relatively clear, there is basically no problem, but I think there are some problems with the image of the group." ”

"Tell me about it?"

"I think the group has paid more attention to the development of overseas markets in the past two years, and the investment promotion has also focused more on technology, new media or some other high-end industries, but now the visual image is still used more than ten years ago. More than ten years ago, Defeng was still engaged in traditional industrial real estate and oriented to industry, so the image felt a little out of touch with the current group's positioning. ”

Dong Pingyue nodded and listened, "Do you have any suggestions?" ”

"We need to reorganize the positioning and make an overall improvement, but in that case, the entire VI system will be updated, which is a big project."

"Okay." Dong Pingyue opened his notebook and wrote down a few words, "Do you think our own design department can do this?" ”

I'm scratching my head a little again.

Say yes, this is indeed a very troublesome, time-consuming and trivial work, and there are only three people in the design department; Say no, will he think that I have just come to avoid work?

"I can do it." My mind quickly turned, first set a tone, and then said: "But if you really want to do it, there will be a lot of aspects involved, especially the implementation after sorting it out, the design department has few people, and there is still a lot of daily work to do, I'm afraid the front will be longer." ”

Dong Pingyue laughed, laughing so much that I felt furious, he remembered two more strokes and didn't know anything, and then said to me: "Yes, after I came to the company, I also felt that the image of the group was not very uplifting." In this way, Lin Su should be able to join the company next week, and the two of you will sort out the image of the group together, including the existing problems and your suggestions, and mention it when I have a meeting with the senior management next time to see if it should be optimized. ”

I breathed a sigh of silent relief.

"Nervous?" Dong Pingyue asked me with a smile again, "No, I'm not testing you." ”

I laughed dryly, "I'm not nervous, I'm just afraid that I won't say it right." ”

"What are you afraid of, you are more professional than me in design, and if you feel that there is any problem in the future, just communicate with me." He finally closed his little notebook, "It's been a week, have you encountered any problems?" ”

"The work hasn't officially started yet, so not yet."

"Okay, feel free to talk if you have any questions." He took out a small box from the drawer, opened it and handed it to me, "Chocolate waffles, delicious, come on a piece." ”

"Thank you." I wasn't too polite, I reached for a piece and listened to him say, "Be happy." ”

"I'm so happy." To prove myself, I smiled brightly. Dong Pingyue nodded with a smile and gave me two more waffles.

Back at my desk, I looked at the two waffles and asked myself if I was unhappy in what I was doing. Is my acting so bad now? It shouldn't be.

A week later, Lin Su joined Defeng.

It's about the same as the last time I saw her at Wat Pho, she's in good shape, and she looks a lot more energetic, thin or thin, but not that feeling of dryness. With light makeup on his face, his mature and graceful temperament is more determined and capable.

When we were having lunch together, I asked her how the family was doing, and she smiled very lightly, "Yes, my daughter is back." My parents stayed in Beijing for a week, and the family went out on the weekend. She picked the noodles in the bowl with chopsticks, "My husband is also doing well, and he is still that considerate son-in-law and dutiful father." ”

"Did your parents know about his cheating?"

"I don't know, no one knows. Looks like he thought I didn't know. Lin Xu sipped his hair and ate his mouth, "It's good if he is willing to disguise, I'm afraid he won't." ”

"So what are you going to do next?"

"When my daughter is two years old, I will send her to a small nursery class, so that my in-laws can come home to rest and rest, after all, it has been two years, and it is very hard for people to help me take care of the children." She smiled slightly, "Let's take a step at a time." ”

Lin Su put down his chopsticks after eating noodles, took out a napkin to wipe his mouth, and then took out his lipstick to make up for it, "It's not clear where the road is, but the goal won't change." ”

After returning home, Xu Yijing and I chatted a few words about Lin Su's current situation, Xu Yijing was ironing her shirt with a mask, and looked up at me after listening, "Well, it's good, it's much braver than you." ”

I'm speechless.

Lin Jiangnan disappeared from my life, and the last time I exchanged messages with him was the day he left with Piggy, and then this person was never heard from again. I don't know any of his friends but himself, and I can't know what he's doing from any other angle.

Oh, there's one, Fu Yun. his colleagues.

Originally, I blocked Fu Yun's circle of friends, but now I have also let go, but what the girl sent was all the company's public account, what project was opened, what chairman came to guide, it was really of no value to me.

After Lin Xu joined the company, we took my subordinates to sort out the image of the group, and made a PPT very formally, analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of the existing image from all angles, and demonstrated the necessity that VI should keep pace with the times and make timely adjustments according to the group's market positioning.

Dong Pingyue read our report, and after reading it, he said: "I feel that I can't do it anymore." ”

Time goes step by step, and we also live step by step.

Lin Su is planning his marriage and moving towards his goal; Xu Yijing stuck to her promise not to go to the mall and worked hard to save money to pay off her debts. As for me, I don't have any special direction, my parents are healthy, my job is stable, there is no car loan, no mortgage or credit card collection, there seems to be nothing in this world that I need to worry about. Supposedly, I should be a very happy person.

I occasionally flip through photos of pigs, which are always on my phone. Sometimes I am annoyed why I deleted Lin Jiangnan's photo in the first place, and then I was too lazy to take even a group photo, so that I don't even have to look at it now.

I have made countless detours to the Changhewan community on my way from work, with a hint of fantasy to see if I can have a chance encounter like last September, but maybe I have met him too many times and my share has been exhausted.

I looked at the light coming out of the window outside the community, but I couldn't remember which building his house was, I didn't know if he still lived here, and if he did, what would he be doing now?

No one knows my careful thoughts, and Xu Yijing doesn't know, if she knows, she will definitely scold me again. In fact, I don't need her to scold, I have already scolded myself many times.

There were a few nights when I sat up suddenly, took my phone, clicked on Lin Jiangnan's name, and wanted to ask him what he was doing now, why there was no news all of a sudden, did I do something wrong? Is he finally tired of my hesitation and cowardice?

But in the end, I didn't send out what I wanted to say. And the more time passes, the less reason there is.

I really hated myself, and I hated myself even more for not being able to beat myself.

In June, the flowers have fallen, the foliage is already luxuriant, and the sun is beginning to take on a scorching temperature. The issue of the image of the group reported by Lin Su and I was reported to the chairman of the board of directors after the senior management listened to the report, and the work was officially launched after the approval was completed. IT'S A BIT SLOW, BUT THERE ARE MANY BIG PROCESSES IN THE COMPANY, AND THIS KIND OF THING WITHOUT A DEADLINE IS OFTEN LIKE THIS, AND IT WILL BE PRESSED UNTIL THE LEADERS ARE NOT SO BUSY TO HAVE TIME TO DISCUSS.

As I wished, the final result of doing the new VI was to find an outsourcing company to do it, after all, the design department was weak and it was quite difficult to do. I contacted the two companies that had designed for us, put together a list of the projects to be done, and asked them to give their ideas and quotes.

When I contacted these things, I felt very refreshed, and finally experienced the joy of being Party A.

However, Xu Yijing reminded me that in addition to the resources I took over, I should also develop new cooperative companies. I didn't understand what it meant, Xu Yijing taught me: "The existing company was found by the previous design director, and you don't know the cooperation model between them. ”

I had never thought about this before, because I never handled it. But after Xu Yijing's reminder, I realized that I should change from a simple designer role, so I followed her advice and contacted two new design companies, because I had never worked together, so I asked them to come to the company for an interview.

And Party B is always very positive.

So, on a sunny afternoon, the people from the design company came. I saw an acquaintance at a glance in the small group of three they visited. Actually, I don't know each other, it's a one-sided relationship, but I still remember her name: Wu Yu.
