Wu Yusi didn't have a chance to rest at all, and went to the company in a few days, the wound on his ear was still the color of the potion, and he was crying with a sad face.

No one dared to speak out in the entire conference room, and no one ordered food after lunch, everyone looked at each other, and the atmosphere was almost frozen.

Jiang Limei raised her head from the computer and took the lead in speaking, deliberately relaxing her tone:

"Don't be in a daze, you can't solve the problem in a daze, first summarize the progress in your hand, and each other has a number."

The curatorial company sent them a lawyer's letter, claiming compensation for the delay in delivery and Party B's non-performance of the contract. The delay in delivery was due to the damage to the warehouse, and Jiang Limei had nothing to say, but she did not fulfill the contract, referring to the refusal of IP Erchuang.

Wu Yusi poked his forehead and felt weak: "I have really explained to them countless times, the ownership of IP is abroad, not to mention the difficulty of communication, yes, we can't get the authorization, even if we get it, we can't do it, the concept of the product and the retail product are completely different concepts, they are taking advantage of us." ”

There is a lot of difference between the design cost of non-selling concept items and retail items.

Jiang Limei and Wu Yusi both understood that the purpose of Party A's lawyer's letter was not really to sue for legal procedures, they did not have any losses, and the real purpose was nothing more than to suppress the final payment.

In the past few years since they opened the company, they have met many peers, and they have heard of similar methods, but it is the first time they have met each other.

Some employees were very aggrieved: "Sister Sisi, shouldn't we have taken this order in the first place?" Since I took it, there have been constant troubles, either there is a problem here, or there is a problem, and they have no attitude to cooperate at all. ”

Jiang Limei and Wu Yusi glanced at each other, Jiang Limei stood up and stretched: "It's okay, eat a trench and grow wise, at least we will know what kind of supplementary clauses to add to the contract next time." ”

She is the boss, and she can only stand up and stabilize the morale of the army at this time.

The average age of the company's employees is not very old, Jiang Limei's first point when recruiting is that young people are more likely to play stalks, and the second point, frankly speaking, because of the low salary of college students who have just left school, she has to control the cost of employment.

The side effect of being young is that she has less experience, and Jiang Limei was about to cry when she saw the interns on the other side of the table.

She went around to the end of the table and squeezed the little girl's shoulders with both hands:

"Don't be nervous, even if we lose money, we can afford to lose, Sisi and I also plan to take everyone on a trip at the end of this year, when it comes to it, it's just a small episode, what a big deal."

Jiang Limei didn't know that her character in the hearts of her younger brothers and sisters was a little taller. There is a new recruit BP is Jiang Limei's junior brother, who has just graduated from Yangcheng Academy of Fine Arts, and is also one of the few boys in the company.

"The boss is right, let's do it. We can't live on this list, waste time sorry for my okr, I went to work, which is directly related to whether we travel to the outskirts of Lingshi or Hokkaido at the end of the year. ”

"Hokkaido? Isn't the place where your ex-girlfriend studied in Kagoshima? Someone chimed in.

"Who said I was going to find her? I haven't wanted to think about it for a long time. ”

"Huh? Drinking some cat urine last weekend and crying like a grandson in the office, who? The atmosphere finally got better, and someone shouted Jiang Limei: "Boss! Tune up the monitor! ”

The entrepreneurial team has a good atmosphere, plus most of the partners are single, and there are often people in the office on the evenings of working days and weekends, Jiang Limei does not stop it, she thinks it is very good.

"Wait, check it out right away." Jiang Limei also had fun, and actually went to the public computer to check the online monitoring, and a group of people gathered around the screen to watch. The other two young men were holding up a few screaming juniors: "Sister! Don't! ”

It's late.

In the surveillance, the junior brother put his legs on the desk, obviously drunk, and looked pitiful and trapped by love, and the hair that had been grabbed by the hairspray collapsed, grabbing another person and chattering.

"Holy, this is it! Top dog! This grandson told me that his ex-girlfriend went to study in Japan, and he wanted to go too, but his snot rubbed my hand and he was sick to death. ”

The junior brother's tone was a little anxious: "I didn't!" Then look at Jiang Limei: "Boss, I don't want to resign." ”

Jiang Limei looked lively: "It's okay, it's good to chase love while you're young, if I'm as old as you, a boy chases me abroad, I will definitely be moved." ”

"I don't, we said we would break up peacefully, and I'm a little shameless to pester people again."

"It's not about having a face or a face, if you can't let it go, you have to chase it, otherwise it's a lifelong stalk, and you can't get by."

Wu Yusi stood up with the computer and shook his phone: "Let's go, I've set a location, go downstairs to eat hot pot, chat while eating, today's emotional bureau." ”

The more times like this, the more we must unite as one, Jiang Limei's annual team building expenses are not low, and she, like Wu Yusi, is eager to turn the company into a real group.

They used to work in small groups, but now they can form their own large groups, which is very fulfilling.

It's past the meal, and there are not many guests in the hot pot restaurant downstairs, so they occupy the largest table and order two mandarin duck pots, and the topics during the banquet are really around emotional topics.

Everyone is giving ideas to the juniors, and there are some cross-border love dramas.

Through the steaming hot pot mist, Jiang Limei suddenly sighed the power of time. Time can change a lot, and many relationships are described as earth-shattering at the end of the relationship, but in fact, looking back a few years later, it is just ordinary.

She couldn't eat spicy, she was afraid of stomach pain, so she only grabbed a few chopsticks and got up to check out first, Wu Yusi followed, stood in front of the cashier and asked her:

"The matter of the order, that's it? Compensation? ”

Jiang Limei scanned the code and said lightly: "I made an appointment with a lawyer who is good at contract disputes on the Internet, and I will ask and see it tomorrow." ”

Sure enough, it was still Jiang Limei, who didn't eat anything and didn't suffer a dumb loss, Wu Yusi put her mind at ease and asked her, "What time is it tomorrow?" I'm going with you. ”

Tomorrow is the weekend, but the lawyer Jiang Limei asked online does not rest. She filled in the invoice information and put her phone back in her bag: "No, I'll just go alone, don't you have a dinner party at home on the weekend?" ”

Wu Yusi has many relatives at home, and he usually has close contact, and he has a family gathering almost every Saturday. Wu Yusi sighed:

"Okay, then you have something to call me, originally my mother said that you should come to the house for dinner together."

Jiang Limei smiled, her elder relationship is really good, Aunt Niu sent her a message last night, and also invited her to eat shabu mutton at home.

"Thank you Auntie for me, I'll go see her when I'm done."

"Done."

After eating until four o'clock in the afternoon, the group returned to the office with the smell of hot pot. Jiang Limei turned on the air purifier, felt that it was not enough, and pushed the window open again.

The summer breeze is hot, mixed with a strong smell of grass and trees, and below the office building is a row of huge elm street trees, with flourishing branches and leaves.

There was no movement in the group pulled by the docking person with the curatorial company, so I simply didn't look at it at all and didn't think about it. Fortunately, the museum project is progressing smoothly, and Ms. Yuan waited for her to contact the Tourism and Cultural Affairs Bureau to plan online activities together.

When she was busy, she had no concept of time, and the computer battery turned red, so she took off her glasses and looked up from the screen only to find that the office had fallen into quiet darkness.

The outside desks are also empty.

Romantic summer nights, with a little more indulgent pleasure on Friday, no one wants to waste time at work. Work is a means of subsistence, life is one's own, Jiang Limei closed the computer, ready to move the plan to tomorrow and then write.

The air purifier was still running, a blue light in the dark, and when no one was around, she gave herself a cigarette to relax, and the right tobacco made people happy.

There are a lot of invitations on WeChat, new friends and old friends, whose bar has just opened, where the card game is missing one, and there are male friends who have not been in touch for a long time to ask her if she has a supper.

Jiang Limei feels that she has been living too plain recently, and maybe some thoughts that should not have been born are also because the days are too plain, and the hormones will run out because they have nowhere to vent.

She needs some great nightlife to stimulate her softened heart.

In recent days, I have always remembered the hug in the parking lot that night, sometimes in a dream, sometimes in an occasional moment of distraction. Ren Yu's crystal clear eyes flickered in front of her eyes, as if she had been washed in the well water.

With such a pair of eyes, any lies will be easy to tell and convincing, right?

Ren Yu said that he knew about her ten years of twists and turns, Jiang Limei didn't savor this sentence at first, and when she thought about it later, she only felt funny. Sure enough, men are all the same species, there are no taboos when courting, and when they touch their mouths, they will go out with all nonsense.

Thinking like this, she suddenly had no interest in the invitation of the opposite sex on her phone, and she hadn't been in touch for a long time anyway, so she clicked on Delete Friends.

In the company group, the junior brother sent a newly opened escape room assessment and is forming people.

Jiang Limei has never played escape room.

In the past few years, the rise of secret rooms, and some people in her circle of friends have followed suit to open escape rooms and script killing shops, and they don't know if they lose money or not.

She spoke in the group: "Can you take me one? 】

The junior brother made a surprised expression and replied: [Come on, boss, there is just one person missing. 】

Someone else interjected: [Boss, are you frank? 】

What kind of nonsense is this? Jiang Limei didn't understand, and looked down at her thin strap sandals: [I wear high heels, can I play? 】

Junior Brother: [Yes, it's okay, today's this is a slight fear, a slight chase.] 】

He posted the location in the group again, and then chatted with Jiang Limei privately: [Boss, this place is a bit difficult to find, do you want me to pick you up? ] 】

Jiang Limei said: [No, it's half an hour away. 】

After checking the appliances and switches as usual to make sure they are safe, lock the office door and close the windows of the open workstation one by one. During this period, WeChat rang twice.

Ren Yu's avatar has a blank background, and a few black stick figures, which can be seen to be a man's back.

At this point, she was topping up unread messages, at the top of her chat list.

Jiang Limei clicked on the dialog box, and the first thing she sent was an address location, which was the physical examination center of their hospital. Immediately followed by the second message is a text message from Ren Yu:

[Tomorrow weekend, you rest, right?] 】

Jiang Limei replied with a question mark.

[Our hospital has a physical examination for employees' families twice a year, I registered your information, if you have a break tomorrow, you can go in the morning, remember to have an empty stomach, it will be over in about two hours. 】

Jiang Limei was a little confused, and while throwing the small things on the table into her bag, she dialed the voice call.

It was quickly picked up over there, and Ren Yu's voice was as clean and clear as ever, but it seemed to be in a busy city, and there were noisy voices in all directions.

"Hello?"

"What do you mean?" Jiang Limei made up her lip gloss and asked Ren Yu: "Inexplicable, why do you want me to have a physical examination?" ”

"Is your stomach feeling better?"

Jiang Limei was stunned, her stomach was not bad for a day or two, and she was going to have trouble every three or five days, and she forgot about it.

"I don't need you to arrange it, I arrange a physical examination for my employees every year, and I will participate in it every year, and I am in good health."

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds.

"There is generally no gastroscopy in the package of the physical examination institution outside, and if the stomach is uncomfortable for a long time, a gastroscopy should be done."

Ren Yu's tone is still calm, but it is different from when he treats patients. When he went to work, he looked like a wax figure, as if the white coat was some kind of magical enchantment.

The microphone was filled with the scent of a gentle evening breeze. What he said was obviously a firm declarative sentence, but it was not offensive after the night.

The top floor of the shopping mall across the street is newly installed with an LED screen, which is playing advertisements at the moment, and the colorful beams of light are projected, Jiang Limei is standing in front of the window, stepping on the shadow.

She stared at the tip of her shoe: "I don't want to do a gastroscopy." ”

Stretch a tube in, how uncomfortable.

Ren Yu seemed to know what she was worried about, and spoke almost at the same time: "The current endoscopes are painless, and there is no feeling." ”

After being silent for two seconds, Ren Yu said again:

"I'm not forcing you or urging you, it's just that the hospital needs to make an appointment for three months later, and the physical examination center has not queued up yet, so it is more convenient for you to use the quota of employees' family members."

Jiang Limei pulled her lower lip: "Then let's talk about it, I have something to do tomorrow, and I can't spare time." ”

"Yes, I'll send you a link and make an appointment online at any time."

"Okay, thank you then, Dr. Ren."

The phone should end here, but no one on either side hung up first, the phone was just held, and Jiang Limei unconsciously slowed down her breathing.

The office is quiet and audible, and the height of the 16th floor isolates most of the noise outside the building, but there are constant voices of people and the sound of vehicles honking.

"Where are you?" She asked.

"Jiang Limei." He said.

At the same time, their voices collided. Jiang Limei laughed twice: "You can say it first." ”

"Jiang Limei, are you off work?"

Jiang Limei looked at the luminous clock on the table, it was almost eight o'clock.

"It's almost time to get off work, what's the matter?"

"If you don't have a date tonight, can we have dinner together?

No, I want to keep my distance from you, I can't have dinner with you.

I'm afraid that my lust will break through my mind and do something to you that breaks through the bottom line of morality, and I'm afraid that we won't be able to show that the relationship will stop.

I'm afraid you can't afford to play.

Jiang Limei thought so in her heart, but she couldn't say this anyway, after the night in the parking lot, to be exact, when she was taken into Ren Yu's arms, the smell of laundry detergent on Ren Yu's clothes penetrated into her nose, and she suddenly figured out one thing-

She likes to be in the middle of things.

It may be only a little, but its presence cannot be ignored.

A woman's liking for a man can sprout anywhere, and there is nothing more than dependence or adoration to say a thousand things.

Jiang Limei can't talk about worshipping Ren Yu. Even though he was so good when he was a teenager and now has a successful career, she is not much worse. If you think about it this way, it may be a little more dependent.

It's really strange, she has been alone for so many years, and she has never craved anyone's shoulders and hugs, and she has never been afraid of chaos.

What is the special magic of Renyu?

I don't know.

"Renyu, it's getting late."

She thought about it and decided to make an excuse casually:

"I often work overtime at night, I don't have the habit of eating dinner, and I'm in the East Fourth Ring Road, you come over, and we go to find a restaurant again, it's even later."

She pulled the last window back and locked it: "And the appointment should be at least a day in advance, so it is not rude." ”

Having said that, Jiang Limei was actually not very angry, after all, she often went to appointments temporarily, or asked others temporarily.

"I've sent you WeChat, last night, and this morning." Ren Yu said lightly: "You didn't reply to me." ”

Jiang Limei was slightly surprised, and immediately flipped up the chat history, and sure enough, it was probably because the messages on the computer and the mobile phone were not synchronized, so she ignored some information.

"Sorry, I didn't see that."

"It's okay."

There was a little guilt in her heart, and she was weird, but the person who was rude was actually herself.

Jiang Limei pursed her lips, tapped her long nails on the back of her phone, and asked softly, "Where are you now?" Not on duty tonight? ”

"It's not my turn today." After a few seconds: "Jiang Limei, I'm downstairs with you." ”

Her fingers stopped, and Jiang Limei subconsciously asked, "I'm downstairs?" How do you know where my family lives? ”

Ren Yu smiled in his voice: "It's not your home, it's your company." You told me about the approximate location of your company, and there is only one office building in the vicinity. ”

Jiang Limei's heart was pounding, she walked back to the window quickly, pushed open the window, and barely poked her head out:

"I'm on the 16th floor, can you see me?"

Just kidding, how can you see, looking down from her height, you can only see a continuous stream of satin-like traffic, pedestrians like moving black dots.

The lights of the city are like broken stars, and the night breeze is smoky.

Tall and luxuriant, with branches and leaves connected, Jiang Limei could barely see a person standing under the shadow of the tree.

Surrounded by passers-by, he stood under the tree, clear, like the last shade of this hot summer night.

"How long have you waited?"

"It didn't take long for me to come over after work."

That's about two hours? Dog days, accumulated all day of heat, the evening is the most uncomfortable. Jiang Limei felt that this person was a little too upright.

"How do you know I'm not off work? What if I'd been gone a long time ago? ”

"It's okay, maybe we'll wait."

"So what are you looking for me? Is it really just to ask me to have a meal? ”

"Yes, just for dinner."

Ren Yu replied decisively, but after a moment, he added:

"I'm sorry, I'm not going to lie."

Jiang Limei supported the window edge with one hand, looking at the direction where the man was standing, and a cool evening breeze broke through the stagnation and brushed her cheeks:

"Jiang Limei, I just want to see you."
