"Is it really you?" Liao Yifan gasped slightly, "I just came back from talking to customers outside about business, and when I saw you in the group, I realized that you were the new leader of the third group." ”

He looked like he was running down the stairs to chase her, his hairspray-styled hair was a little messy, and he was wearing a white shirt and khaki slacks that were the standard for the workplace, and he didn't look much different from before. If you want to talk about change, it is that the whole person is more elite.

Xu Qing waited for him to calm down for a while before saying, "Don't you know it's me?" ”

"How would I know?" Liao Yifan was stunned for a moment, and then understood something, "Did Gu Yan say something?" She told you that I knew you were coming? ”

"Hmm." She didn't deny it.

"You know the situation of the design company, Luo Wenwen's corporate culture is even more capable, there are not too many subordinates and subordinates, and the first, second and third groups are all competitive relationships to put it bluntly. As soon as the leader of the three groups left, Gu Yan's biggest competitor was me, when the industry seniors recommended you, she made it clear that she didn't believe in any million designers, I thought she wouldn't hire you. ”

Liao Yifan grabbed his hair and smiled to reveal two tiger teeth, "But knowing that we are old classmates, it's not surprising that she will hire you." What she wants is an opponent who can counterbalance me, and preferably have a bit more complicated relationship with me, so that she will have more room to maneuver, you know what I mean? It's just that she likes to complicate things, which is not a good thing for us. ”

The corners of Xu Qing's mouth moved slightly: "Should I feel honored?" ”

Liao Yifan was stunned, and patted her shoulder helplessly for a while: "You are still the same, and you choke people speechless at every turn." We haven't seen each other in a long time, and we have dinner together at noon? ”

"Gu Yan said that I still have three days to compete fairly with you."

Apparently he hadn't been informed yet, and he was a little surprised. Xu Qing confessed: "This opportunity is very important to me. ”

"I—I understand."

Liao Yifan looked at the girl in front of him and suddenly felt that his tongue was dry.

She has changed a lot, not only in appearance, but also as if she has changed from the inside out, and she is more calm and beautiful than before. He had a lot to say to her, but he didn't know where to start for a while, thought for a while, and asked a little crampedly, "Are you going to leave when you come back this time?" ”

"I don't know, it depends."

"You, you've been there......"

Before Liao Yifan finished speaking, a phone rang. Xu Qing glanced at the caller ID and hurriedly said, "I still have some business, I'll go home first." He waved his hand at him.

A voice on the phone that was not unfamiliar, with a smile.

"Welcome back, my little Qingqing, I miss you, do you miss me? I don't care, I must have a drink in the evening, I will decide the venue, you come directly after work. ”

Xu Qing walked out of Liao Yifan's field of vision, relaxed on the side of the road, and smiled: "No, I have to rush the design draft in the next few days." ”

"Rush again? Aren't you reporting on the first day? ”

"It's a special situation."

She briefly told her about the situation in the morning, and Yu Wan heard it again and again: "Baby, where are you in a design company, and you have made it clear in Longtan Tiger's Den!" The first and second groups are obviously not right, use you as a sandwich biscuit, I don't think you are the boss of the three groups. ”

Xu Qing also saw that Gu Yan and Liao Yifan's words did not match, and it was obvious that someone was lying.

"What's going on with Liao Yifan? Does he really not know it's you? I specially chose to submit the design draft today, and I said that I just finished meeting the customer, and I feel so scheming. That director is not simple, knowing that you are old classmates, and he has no scruples to speak ill of him in front of you, tsk, what kind of office war is this? Whose word do you believe more? ”

Yu Wan analyzed it as if pouring beans, "Yu Qing and reason must believe Liao Yifan, after all, classmates, you still set up a stall in Taoxichuan to start a business together, and he doesn't have that kind of thing for you." ”

"What?"

"Are you still pretending to be stupid with me? From what I know about women, most of them are the directors who are demons, but not necessarily, after all, the workplace is like a battlefield, and competitors have no feelings at all. Maybe both of them lied and staged Rashomon in front of you. ”

Luo Wenwen is in an unpredictable situation, the current situation is difficult, and she urgently needs to change and break through, otherwise she will not take the risk of hiring her after the emergence of multiple million-dollar bubbles. Although Gu Yan didn't say it explicitly, she knew that her arrival did not meet the company's expectations, and it might even be another wrong attempt.

In addition, the first and second groups are now in the same situation, maybe she, the newcomer of the third group, was eliminated without even passing the probationary period, which shows how important the battle for butterfly change is this time.

Yu Wan said: "Baby, you must not be soft, Jingdezhen is not as good as before." ”

She majored in sociology and has been dealing with big data for many years. According to statistics, nearly 50,000 people come to Jingdezhen every year, who are designers, antique collectors, potters, painters, young entrepreneurs, as well as graduates from all walks of life such as industrial design, art, and pottery.

The so-called craftsmen come from all directions, and the instruments come all over the world, and these scenery drift together in the ancient capital of thousand-year-old ceramic culture, seeking a foothold for the body and soul. But Jingdezhen is only so big, it can't accommodate more people, and in the face of huge competitive pressure, most of Jingpiao can't survive for a year, and only one-fifth can gain a firm foothold.

The waves are scouring the sand, and the rest are human spirits.

Five years ago, Xu Qing was the grain of sand that was scooped out. She knows very well how difficult it is to stay in Jingdezhen or even take root in Jingdezhen.

"Do you remember the post-wave promotional video that went viral on the whole network that year? How many Jingpiao people cried that night, the back waves of Jingdezhen were too cruel, unemployed, broken into pieces, and fell short, I have seen too many such endings. Xiao Qingqing, don't leave me again, I'm waiting for you here alone, lonely, so tired......"

Xu Qing interrupted her in time: "Come to my house for a drink at night." ”

Yu Wan immediately turned her sorrow into joy: "Okay! ”

She knows Yu Wan's deception technique too well, she knows what she thinks with one mouth, the two haven't seen each other for a long time, and they really should have a drink. After she went home, she first browsed the historical works of Luo Wenwen's company, went to the supermarket downstairs in the afternoon to buy some ingredients, and cleaned and put the plate when she came back, and when Yu Wan arrived, the hot pot was already cooked.

This small apartment was bought by Yu Wan for her, in the new development zone on the other side of the Changjiang River, with sound supporting facilities and convenient life. The décor is also to her liking, simple and clean, warm and comfortable.

There were two bedrooms on the second floor, and Xu Qing lived alone, so he converted one of them into a storage room. The walls are painted white, and sixteen searchlights are installed at the four corners of the top of the wall, and there are three walls due to the open space, each with a floor-to-ceiling storage cabinet.

In the middle is a long table cut of logs and undecorated, which is where Xu Qing works.

She spends most of her time in this vault.

Yu Wan saw that her works and collections had been transported and placed on the shelves, and from a distance it looked like a small exhibition hall, she was amazed for a while, and she turned around several times in front of the storage cabinet before she was willing to go downstairs.

"Look at the storage room I installed for you, is it no different from the one you installed in Shanghai? You don't know how hard I worked, holding a ruler and measuring a little bit, the decorator almost didn't assassinate me. ”

"I bought your favorite spicy beef, and I'll eat more later."

Yu Wan pouted: "You have a conscience." ”

The two of them sat down by the window, Yu Wan opened a bottle of red wine, clinked glasses with her, and said if there was anything for a while, Xu Qing asked her: "Did I ask you to inquire about it?" ”

"Oh, that's right." Yu Wan wiped his hands with wet wipes, "The founder of Wanhe Media is called Xu Zhengnan, who started in real estate in his early years, and later made a fortune from antiques, and now the business is very big, I have a friend who works in it, so I inquired about it, and one of their self-media platforms recently planned to do a program called "The Great Power Heavy Weapon", saying that it was to recruit ceramic workers with stories and words, in fact, it has long been decided. ”

Yu Wan looked at her as she spoke, "It is said that it is the one." ”

Xu Qing didn't react.

Yu Wan sighed: "That's the one, I don't dare to mention his name to you all these years." He is now a well-known master in Jingdezhen, and Wan He must have spent a lot of money to invite him to the show, I heard that he has a nickname called the Gold Swallowing Beast in the circle, isn't it an exaggeration? ”

Xu Qing commented objectively: "It fits his personality." ”

In the past, the teacher said in class that when the Taihe Palace was white, his hands would be frostbitten. Some people are very strange, they never have frostbite, and their hands are whiter than the snow in the temple, so they are called more than white.

Cheng Yubai.

Xu Qing's lips had three words in his mouth, and his voice was clear and dry.

Yu Wan bit the toothpick meat: "I said that I haven't signed a contract yet, but the intention has been finalized, and it is him as a surprise." ”

"Is the friend you're talking about the one who used to chase you?"

"yes, the old pervert haunts me every day."

"Can I treat him to dinner?"

"Don't you, do you?" Yu Wan was about to cry, but suddenly reacted, "No, what do you want to do?" Don't you want to catch up with "The Great Power"? ”

Xu Qing picked up the red wine and filled it up for her.

Yu Wan squinted at her attentive little appearance, and snorted twice: "You treat your sister like this?" Knowing that it was an old pervert, he still pushed his sister into the fire pit? Xiao Qingqing, are you human? ”

"I bought the bag you wanted, in Shanghai."

"Okay, I'll date him right away! You can help me keep it first, don't you. Yu Wan was about to call the old pervert, but when he thought of something, he laughed, "Baby, you're great." ”

Fighting for what she wants, without having to think about self-esteem and the eyes of outsiders, is the truth she has always believed in. Life is so short, isn't it too tiring to live for what other people think?

When she was a child, Xu Qing was always outside the truth, and she was like a defeated chick every day, but fortunately, she finally grew up.

"It was too casual just now, now I'll say hello again." Yu Wan stood up, stroked the hem of her skirt, and solemnly stretched out her hand to her, "Classmate Xu Qing, long time no see." ”

The two of them clasped their fingers, and a ray of light burst out from Xu Qing's plain and waveless eyes.

Yu Wan said: "Welcome back to your home turf. ”

This city, this season, this year.

It's your home turf.
