Four o'clock in the afternoon.

Summer Port International Airport.

After hugging and saying goodbye to Xing Ling at the security checkpoint, Shi Feng got on a flight to Beijing.

Before leaving, he sent a message to Karen in Shanghai, telling her about his afternoon flight to Beijing and asking her about her itinerary. Unexpectedly, Karen also booked a ticket smoothly, and she would land thirty minutes earlier than him. Therefore, the two agreed to meet directly at the Capital International Airport, and then go to a four-star hotel booked by Xingling in advance.

A few hours later, the plane landed slowly at the Capital International Airport.

Because there is no need to wait for checked baggage, graphite comes out of the exit quickly. The luggage that the Star Spirit prepared for him was very simple, just two sets of underwear to be washed, a suit and two shirts, plus a suit that happened to be worn on his body and a dark gray trench coat.

As soon as Graphite stepped out of the aisle, he saw Karen, who stood out from the crowd.

Karen must have checked the flight number of Graphite, so she volunteered to wait at the exit in advance. Seeing Karen waving at him, Graphite waved his hand vigorously at Karen.

"Hi Karen!"

"Mr. Shi." Karen looked at his young boss with cool eyes.

Karen, like him, was a small puller, and the two of them walked as they talked, heading towards the waiting area outside the gate.

"How about it, did the resignation in Shanghai go well, did AD make it difficult for you?" Graphite asked with a smile.

"It's going well," Karen replied as she walked, "AD has no shortage of people in Shanghai, they are full of talent in Shanghai now, and there are already people under my position who covet it, and as soon as I bring it up, they will push the boat down the river......" She sighed again and quipped, "Boss, I don't have a bow back now." ”

"AD, huh......" Graphite smiled, turned to Karen and smiled, "Trust me, your choice is wise. ”

Karen had a smile on her face, turned her head and asked, "Mr. Shi, tell me quickly, what's going on with Warner?" ”

At this time, a taxi happened to come and stop in front of them.

Graphite pretended to smile mysteriously: "Let's go back to the hotel, there are many people here." He stepped forward and offered to help Karen put her luggage in the trunk, and the two of them sat in the back seat together.

"Keskibin Hotel, thank you." Graphite reported the name of the place to the driver's master.

The taxi quickly left the airport and was soon on the airport expressway.

Graphite sat quietly and turned his head to look out the window.

Outside, there was a constant stream of speeding cars, and in the light of night and lights, the poplar trees on both sides of the highway stood in a row like privates, and kept flying backwards. From time to time, the front and rear headlights shone in, and bright spots of light slipped into the dim cabin, as if some slides were playing, and Graphite suddenly felt that such a scene seemed to overlap with a certain moment in his memory, and it was not very clear, and he tried to draw some meaningful symbols from it, but he always felt powerless.

In the intertwined disillusionment of light, something unknown flickered and passed from the fingers of his thoughts.

"Mr. Shi, did you often come to Beijing before?" Karen broke the silence first and asked.

"Well, I've only been here once, during college," Graphite came back to his senses and smiled, he seemed to remember something, so he turned his head and said: "Karen, how about you help me think of an English name, I'm a little unaccustomed to you Shi Zong Shi always calling me, I always feel that this title is a bit raw, as a partner, you can call me by my English name in the future, come on, help me think of one." ”

"Me? Can I help you come up with an English name? Karen looked incredulous and asked.

"Yes, it's just you, it won't be too difficult." Graphite teased with a smile.

Karen looked at the graphite carefully and found that the young boss might be serious, she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, saying that she asked me to help you get it, so what if the boss didn't like it? Karen pondered. By the way, try the name of a foreign celebrity or a handsome guy, at best, there will be no major problems.

She lowered her head and pondered for a moment, and the first thing that popped into her mind was Leonardo's young and handsome face, and there were!

"Jake."

"I think your name is Jack, Distinguished Youth! Defeat the enemy! Karen also explained, but halfway through the sentence, he felt that he had explained a little too much, and he couldn't help but chuckle out loud.

"What are you laughing at," Graphite asked with a smile, "I think it's good!" Jack, Outstanding Youth! Defeat the enemy! ”

"I'll call me this from now on, Karen, and you'll call me Jack from now on." Graphite clapped his hands.

Karen couldn't help but laugh and nodded desperately.

……

When the car enters the city, it is the time when the lights are first bustling and lively, and the cars on the street follow this one, and the taxis are interspersed among them, and the speed of travel is like a tortoise and rabbit race, fast and slow.

Graphite hadn't been to the capital for years, and he looked out through the car window, the glittering high-rise buildings stabbing straight into the night sky, the lights and digital advertisements shining in the night, and the bustling and bustling of pedestrians, everything was both familiar and somewhat unfamiliar.

He remembered himself many years ago, a young student who traveled poorly, carrying a simple bag, drowning in the vast sea of people, lamenting the heaviness and vicissitudes of the imperial city; Now, because of a rare opportunity, I am about to step into the center of this prosperous stage, stand in the spotlight, and sit on an equal footing with the people I once needed to look up to, stirring this pool of spring water.

Are you really ready?

……

Karen glanced sideways at the boss beside him, the young boss who didn't talk much.

This was the second time they had met, and she always felt that she could not see through him, that he was not at all like the CEOs she had often seen, and that she could not find the shrewdness and wisdom of businessmen and entrepreneurs; It's not like the kind of rich second generation who relies on his parents, he has seen too many people in Shanghai before, this kind of person has that kind of unbelievable self-righteousness, and he can't find that feeling of being superior.

She can't see through it, she can't tell, but it's really an interesting person.

……

The car soon sent the two to the "Keskibing Hotel" where they stayed, and after registering together in the lobby, the two received a room card, graphite lived in room 2513, and Karen lived in room 2514 next door.

After the two got out of the elevator, they made an appointment with each other to clean up and then went downstairs to eat together, and then went into their own rooms.

Graphite entered the room and browsed roughly, the room layout is not bad, it is worthy of a four-star hotel, and the modern and simple style has a bit of exquisite and luxurious texture.

He took off his trench coat and draped it on the chair, then took out the suit in the drawbar box and hung it in the closet, went to the bathroom to wash his face with hot water, picked up the white towel on the side and dried the droplets, through the clean and bright mirror, he saw himself in the mirror, those dark eyes were no longer the melancholy and sadness of the past, like the stars that occasionally twinkled in the deep night sky, only calm and distant.

He walked out of the bathroom, took his key card and closed the door, and walked to the door of room 2514 next door.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

The sound of his fingers knocking on the door was appropriate and rhythmic.

"I'm not that fast, can you wait?" Karen's crisp, sweet voice came from within.

"Oh, okay, it's okay, you take your time."

The corners of the graphite mouth curled, smiled slightly, turned and walked, strolling through the thick carpet between the elevator and the corridor, the corridor was very quiet, only the warm spotlights were releasing light, and the milky white walls, and the light-colored cashmere carpet with patterns, creating a neat, clear and modern gorgeous style.

It took about another five or six minutes for Karen to come out of the room embarrassed.

"I'm sorry, I've been waiting for a long time."

"It's okay," Graphite waved his hand and smiled, "I understand, women......" Graphite could see at a glance that Karen should have touched up some makeup, and at this time, she seemed to be a little more radiant and bright.

Karen was stunned for a moment, her face flushed slightly, "Boss, is that how you treat your subordinates?" Karen protested.

Graphite raised his hand in surrender, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm absolutely not sexist, don't get me wrong." ”

Annoyed and helpless with the big boy-like boss, Karen glanced at him, rubbed Graphite's shoulder, and turned his head towards the elevator.

Graphite only felt a faint fragrant breeze wafting by, and suddenly remembered that when he interviewed her for the first time, he had also smelled this unknown perfume, and he couldn't help but swayed slightly in his heart, just in this stunned kung fu, Karen glanced back at him, he was excited, and hurriedly walked over, smiling: "How is it, what do you want to eat?" I'm in for a treat. ”

"Of course you're in for a treat, you're the boss, okay?" Karen lifted her beautiful chin and looked at him.

However, when Graphite really wanted to invite Karen to go out for a big meal, he was stopped by Karen, she said: "Forget it, next time, we will have a buffet at the hotel, and we will discuss tomorrow's itinerary when we go back to our room." But when she saw that graphite was as good as a stream, she deliberately relented and added: "Remember, you owe me a big meal, and you are not allowed to deny it." ”

……

After eating the buffet, the two didn't stay outside too much.

Karen finally knew why Warner was in such a hurry to work with Naxing.

When she returned to her room and showed "Cretaceous" to Karen in her notebook, she was blown away!

As a former right-hand man of the American AD special effects company and an industry veteran, she can naturally see at a glance how high and difficult the production level of "Cretaceous" is, what this special effects production level represents, and what it means.

"Jack, this is what our company made?!" Karen asked incredulously.

Graphite didn't speak, just a smug smile on the corner of his mouth, and nodded softly at her.

"How did you do that?" Karen blurted out, "Does our company have such a powerful supercomputer?" Haven't you found all the personnel yet? How is this possible? This ......" She looked at Graphite with a look of incredulity on her face, as if trying to find the answer she wanted from Graphite's face.

The young boss looked at her quietly with a mysterious smile on his face.

Karen was a little confused by his gaze, this young boss wouldn't think about it, would he? Karen shuddered slightly.

Luckily, the boss spoke quickly.

"Karen," Graphite said, "This is the power of science and technology, and it is also the main core competitiveness of our company in the future, as the core management of the company, I need to let you know something..."
