At night in Jianghong City, the lights are red and green, the water on the lake is rippling, the lights are reflected, the heaven and the earth are colored, it seems to be a rainbow and seven colors cross, beautiful and amazing. The streets are still bustling and lively, and the day is better than the day.

The neon lights of high-rise buildings make the world colorful, and the darkness of the night is not enough to match the brilliance of the lights. The windows of the buildings are constantly lit with incandescent light, and even the night should be resting, some people are entertaining and cheering, and some people are working at their desks.

On the 17th floor of an office building, there was silence.

At the desk sat a shoulder-length woman, with black short sleeves and dark jeans, white sneakers, a pair of rose gold metal round-framed glasses, a standard melon seed face, thin lips, and light red makeup. Even if she has applied a little powder, it can't hide her poor face. Holding a pencil in his right hand and drawing constantly, holding a reference in his left hand, he looks down and draws, looking up at the movement of the data. Even if you want to use an eraser, put the pen, make corrections, and hold the pen for no more than 10 seconds.

"Click-and-......". The silence of the office was broken by the sound of footsteps from high heels, and a long-haired woman in a black suit walked towards the desk with a coffee in her hand, her eyes were big and focused, her legs were slender, and her jade fingers were slender.

"Sister Qiao, take a rest. This week, you go to bed at three or four o'clock every night and get up before seven o'clock. Drink coffee every night to refresh yourself. If it goes on like this, you won't be able to hold it. After putting down the coffee, the beautiful woman frowned slightly, and her face was full of sorrow at the person in front of the desk.

"Rourou, if the cover design of the magazine is done well this time, we will all be rewarded by the editor-in-chief, and maybe we can even be promoted. You have been with me for all these years, and you have not gained any benefits, and I have to do my best for you. She replied with a smile, holding on without feeling tired at all. The man at the desk is Qiao Shu, an art editor at Feiyue Magazine.

Li Rou's eyes were full of distress. "Sister Qiao, the benefits you have given us are the most in the entire magazine working group, and we are very grateful to you. Sister Qiao, you don't have to do this for us, fight with your own health. ”

Since Li Rou entered the magazine, she has been following Qiao Shu, but whenever her superiors have bonuses, Qiao Shu either treats guests to dinner, or divides the bonuses equally, and never swallows them alone.

Qiao Shu just smiled faintly, and before he could reply, the phone on the table rang - Mom. She didn't have time to stop what she was doing. "Yau Yau, help me order hands-free, thank you."

This has been the case more than once, and every time Li Rou helped her answer the phone, Qiao Shu almost all of her privacy was known to Li Rou.

Qiao's mother on the other end of the phone, Wang Mushi asked with concern. "Xiao Shu, when are you coming back?"

Hearing Wang Mushi's voice, Qiao Shu seemed more energetic, and his voice answered sweetly. "Mom, I'm not coming back tonight, I have a meeting tomorrow morning to report on my work, and I have to finish the manuscript tonight."

When Wang Mushi heard that Qiao Shu was working overtime again, she could only sigh helplessly, she couldn't do anything at all, she could neither let Qiao Shu rest nor help Qiao Shu work. "Then pay attention to your body, don't be too tired, remember to eat."

Qiao Shu smiled. "Okay, I got it."

Wang Mushi happened to be flipping through the calendar and found that tomorrow was Saturday. "By the way, are you going to see Teacher Lin and them tomorrow? You've been so tired lately, don't go. ”

When Qiao Shu heard this, he slapped his head and asked, "Tomorrow?" Tomorrow is Saturday? ”

Wang Mushi laughed teasingly, but she felt very uncomfortable in her heart. "You see you're busy and confused, and you've forgotten what day of the week you have, so it's better to be busy and rest."

Qiao Shu even sped up the painting speed of his subordinates, and replied: "No, no, no, I'll go after the meeting tomorrow." I'll go home in the evening - okay, Mom, you go to bed early, I'm busy. And asked Li Rou to help her hang up the phone.

Qiao Shu not only hopes that this cover will be commended by the editor-in-chief, but she also wants to show Mr. Jiang that this work is her painstaking work.

"Dut...... Honk...... Toot ......"

Qiao's mother on the other end of the phone, Wang Mushi, sat on the bed and shook her head repeatedly, helplessly putting down her mobile phone. "Old Qiao, look at it, she won't come back again, she's so tired all day, and I'm going to see them tomorrow Teacher Lin and Teacher Jiang."

Wang Mushi, who is nearly 50 years old, already has many wrinkles on her face, and she had many freckles when she was young, and now her face is even more yellowish, perhaps because of her constant worries over the years. Qiao's father next to her, Qiao Shibin, is just the opposite, he is already over half a hundred years old, but his face is full of red, and there is no scruffy beard, and his chin is often clean.

Qiao Shibin put down the newspaper in his hand, patted Wang Mushi's hand, and said with a smile: "Are you afraid that you won't eat the vinegar of other teachers?" The two teachers have helped Xiao Shu so much, it can be said that without them, it is extremely difficult for Xiao Shu to be independent outside. Xiao Shu is a grateful child, otherwise he would not have maintained the habit of visiting them every Saturday for nearly ten years. ”

"How could I be jealous! I'm not afraid that Xiao Shu will be tired! Wang Mushi was angry and patted Qiao Shibin's shoulder.

Qiao Shibin snorted lightly and shook his head, took off his glasses and put them on the bedside table, and asked Wang Mushi to turn off the lights and sleep.

A few hours passed, and Qiao Shu still did not stop her work, she already felt a slight pain in her neck, and she was still strong. She instructed: "Rourou, you help me buy some fruit and milk tomorrow morning, and I will use WeChat to transfer money to you." ”

Li Rou was already drowsy and suddenly woke up. "Ah...... Good. She was still sober and heard Qiao Shu's words clearly, so she agreed without hesitation, and she was used to it. Rubbing his eyes, he looked at Qiao Shu, who was busy painting. "Actually, I'm curious about your two teachers, what makes you visit them every week, you are a workaholic, you always put this matter first, rain or shine."

Every time these two teachers are mentioned, Qiao Shu always shows a happy smile. "They are like my other parents, giving me light and giving me hope. Without them, there would be no Qiao Shu today. I'll have a chance to take you with me later. ”

Li Rou seemed to understand, and nodded gently. "Good!" I accidentally looked up and saw out the window, the lights were not as brilliant as just now, and then I looked at my watch and shouted, "It's three o'clock!" Sister Qiao, rest quickly, you see that there is almost no one outside. ”

Qiao Shu still had no intention of stopping. "Go to sleep, I'll go to sleep when I'm done."

"But ......"

Before Li Rou finished speaking, Qiao Shu continued: "Okay, don't be, be obedient, go to sleep." ”

Li Rou shook her head helplessly, she knew that it would be useless for her to say more, so she had to leave alone and walk to the "bedroom". Because he often stays up late and works overtime, the magazine specially placed a bed in an office, which can be described as "extremely intimate".

The sun rises in the east, illuminating the whole world, and people's busy day will begin again.

The lights of Feiyue Magazine were not extinguished all night, and Qiao Shu did not sleep all night.

"That's it!" Qiao Shu shouted happily.

She didn't see Li Rou, neither of them went home last night, and Li Rou should be by her side at this time. She picked up her mobile phone and dialed Li Rou's number. "Yau Yau, where are you?"

Li Rou wears headphones and carefully selects fruits in the supermarket. "Sister Qiao, I'm buying fruit in the supermarket, and I'll be at the company in a while."

Qiao Shu smiled sweetly on the other end of the phone. "Okay, thank you for your hard work."

"It's fine." Li Rou replied with a smile.

After Qiao Shu hung up the phone, he went to the bathroom to get his makeup done. She felt a slight dizziness and immediately slapped her forehead with cold water to sober herself up, something she had done since she was a child. Looking up at herself in the mirror, she looked extremely haggard, she didn't like heavy makeup, but she used a heavy foundation to cover up her thick dark circles, and blush, forcibly revealing a good mental outlook.

After a while, Li Rou came over with several bags of fruit and a carton of milk Shanshan, Qiao Shu immediately went over to help when she saw it, and was a little embarrassed: "It's really hard for you to let a delicate girl do this kind of thing!" ”

Li Rou's face was full of disbelief. "Where am I delicate! I'm not the kind of ordinary woman who can't lift her hands and shoulders! ”

"Yes, yes, yes! You're a heroine! Qiao Shu handed her a glass of water. Drink some water, take a break, and get ready for the meeting! ”

Li Rou replied energetically: "Okay! ”

The weekend work of Feiyue Magazine begins.

Qiao Shu wore a black short-sleeved blazer and looked more capable and stood in front of the projector screen. She was the first debriefer for today's meeting.

She pointed to the painting on the screen to explain. This monthly magazine interviewed Ning Yuan, a famous writer in the city, who is deeply loved by readers in the city. That's why we designed the cover of the monthly magazine. ”

"With the theme of his debut novel "Father, Mother and Teacher", the images of parents and teachers are painted on a pale cyan background, and then ......" Qiao Shu felt a little darkness in front of him, and a buzzing sound appeared in his ears. She paused slightly, but for no more than 2 seconds.

"Green trees, trickling ......" Qiao Shu suddenly fell,

The people sitting around the conference table were in a panic and ran towards Qiao Shu.

Li Rou half-knelt next to Qiao Shu, big tears fell straight down, she was so anxious that she had lost her usual reason.

I don't know who shouted: "Hit 120!" ”
