Every night I watch my boss collapse

No matter how good the restaurant’s equipment is, it’s impossible for the barbecue to be free of oily smoke. The air is filled with a greasy smell, and the exhaust fan makes a soft whirring sound. Flipping the tongs, it made an even harsher frying sound.

In such an unromantic or even vulgar scene, Tan Shaoshi casually expressed her confession: "I love only you."

She was stunned for a moment, then she was pressed down by the feeling of embarrassment and lowered her head, not daring to look into Yu Zhi's eyes.

Tan Shaoshi felt that she was really not a competent girlfriend.

The first time I said "I love you" was in the dark car, and the wife was in the office when I was about to get off work. The first time I said "I love you" was to mention it casually at the dinner table while eating barbecue.

Every time in a hurry, every time is not romantic.

This time was the worst, and there was also a chef who helped with the barbecue.

She lowered her head and bit her lips regretfully, moved the plate, changed the position of the teacup, crumpled the tissue and threw it into the trash can, and moved the chopsticks to keep them neat and beautiful.She knew that Yu Zhi was watching, so she found something for herself to do, while drinking tea, she thought about how to speak later.

"Master, thank you." Yu Zhi broke the silence, but said the words were aimed at the barbecue master, "Let's grill it ourselves."

The master said calmly, "Okay, you can ring the bell if you need it."

Tan Shaoshi heard a soft rustling sound, counted the steps of the master leaving, and looked forward to the sound of the private room door opening and closing.She thought she couldn't escape, gritted her teeth and raised her head, wanting to explain something to Yu Zhi.

Although she didn't think of saying anything.

Tan Shaoshi didn't speak, but was stopped by Yu Zhi's movement of getting up.She was stunned, not knowing what she was going to do, but she felt that Yu Zhi's eyes were staring at something that she couldn't figure out, so she subconsciously stepped back.

Yu Zhi dragged it back involuntarily, and locked it tightly in her arms, "Shao Shi."

Tan Shaoshi blinked, "Huh?"

"Say it again, okay?" Yu Zhi approached, and pressed lightly with her fingertips.

Tan Shaoshi straightened up in a jerk, put Yu Zhi's shoulders on her shoulders, and was at a loss for the sudden close distance, "What are you talking about?"

Yu Zhi smiled lightly, and whispered in her ear, "I love you."

These words were light and delicate, like a gust of wind, blowing on the softest and most sensitive part of her heart.Tan Shaoshi was overwhelmed by a single sentence, she felt weak all over and just wanted to listen to it again, she raised her eyes slightly to see the corners of Yu Zhi's curved lips.

Yu Zhi didn't say it a second time, she hooked her chin and placed a kiss on her lips, coaxing her to confess.

Tan Shaoshi tasted the sweetness, so her words were tinged with honey, and she said softly according to Yu Zhi's request, "I love you."

Yu Zhi smiled in satisfaction, tightened her hands and kissed her.

Tan Shaoshi tasted the mint flavor of the chewing gum, and found that Yu Zhi had premeditated.

But she liked the premeditation.

The sofa in the private room is not as soft as the one in the office or at home. It is straight, hard and slightly uncomfortable, and it is close to the table.Tan Shaoshi accidentally knocked off the chopsticks, and was distracted by a few light clicks, took a deep breath, and complained softly, "It's uncomfortable."

Yu Zhi pulled the pillow to cushion her, touched her head to comfort her, "We'll go home after eating."

Tan Shaoshi glanced at the barbecue that was left out beside her, and nodded sullenly.

After dinner, Tan Shaoshi felt that she smelled like barbecue, and she didn't want to hang out outside, so she dragged Yu Zhi home.As soon as she got home, she took a change of clothes and went straight to the bathroom, moving quickly, for fear that Yu Zhi would follow and pester her endlessly.Luckily, Yu Zhi is also a person who likes to be refreshed, so she prepares to wash up silently, and only asks for a kiss before entering the bathroom.

Tan Shaoshi cherishes the opportunity and is obedient and obedient to please Yu Zhi.

Yu Zhi pinched her face, and her fingertips swam to the corners of her lips that were stained with water, and said with emotion, "The jacuzzi in the hotel is more convenient."

"...It's time to take a shower." Tan Shaoshi suddenly thought of the disharmonious scene, blushed, and suddenly gained the strength to push Yu Zhi to another bathroom.

Yu Zhi finally stopped teasing her.

After taking a bath, Tan Shaoshi got rid of the greasy and dust on her body, put on a simple home clothes and slowly blow-dried her hair, wanting to empty her mind and relax, but couldn't help worrying about the things to do later.

It's not a private matter with Yu Zhi, but a business matter with Yu Zhi.

They had to ask Tong Miaomiao if she would like to sell the gems.

Speaking of it, Tan Shaoshi felt that everything was too coincidental. The gem she was looking for happened to be owned by Tong Miaomiao, and the time was right after Tong Miaomiao offended her and was sent by the company to curry favor with the client.

The situation was too bad for her.Tong Miaomiao went out to the field to interview VIP clients. She persisted for three days and looked at her face for three days. She was probably on the verge of collapse and was in a bad mood. Seeing that her education and experience did not match the company's requirements, she made friends with the vice president in private. , the relationship between the households who blow the pillow wind at any time, even if they don't say it on the face, they will get angry in their hearts.

Tan Shaoshi is not an eloquent person, and Yu Zhi has become more and more domineering CEO Fan recently, and she is very likely to speak harsh words when she disagrees.

Threats are effective for others, but when used on Tong Miaomiao, who is aloof and proud, it is counterproductive.

Tan Shaoshi thought about it and thought that the best way is to put aside the price and talk to Tong Miaomiao about the gem itself.

This is the hardest.Tong Miaomiao was able to speculate that she plagiarized based on the library card's bibliography, and stood up when the evidence was insufficient, and regarded her alma mater as a purgatory, and felt that her graduation was a relief... All signs said "I look down on you", maybe Do you give her your favorite gem to such an "unreliable" designer?

Tan Shaoshi couldn't help thinking of Tong Miaomiao's indifferent face when discussing with everyone at work, and what she said when she mentioned her alma mater.The more she thought about it, the more annoying she became. Regardless of her half-dried hair, she put down the hair dryer and went to find the design drawing she had drawn, trying to add a few strokes to make it look less rough.

A dead horse is a living horse doctor.

Tan Shaoshi was mentally prepared to be stabbed by Tong Miaomiao's straightforward words like a knife. She was fearless and concentrated on perfecting the design drawings, trying to speak with facts later.

Yu Zhi came out of the bathroom, saw her painting again, and sat beside her silently without disturbing her.

Tan Shaoshi had something on her mind and couldn't concentrate so much, so she put down her pen and rushed over, "Honey~"

Yu Zhi responded softly, "What's the matter?"

"I can't finish painting today." Tan Shaoshi didn't talk about the twists and turns in her heart, and said directly, "Let's call Tong Miaomiao first, and if it doesn't work, change the target earlier. The pre-selection has to hand in the model, and we can't delay like this. "

Yu Zhi nodded, and took the cell phone on the bedside table for her.

Tan Shaoshi turned to Tong Miaomiao's number, took a deep breath, and pressed the dial button.

After about ten seconds, Tong Miaomiao picked it up, "Hello?"

With one simple word, Tan Shaoshi's prepared words stuck in her mouth.

Tong Miaomiao... crying?

-

Tan Shaoshi blows her hair, and imagines a sarcasm of Tong Miaomiao not looking down on her.

This is not the case at all.

Tong Miaomiao had obviously just cried, her nasal voice was buzzing, her voice was choked and trembling, and the sound of pulling out a tissue was set off extremely clearly by the unbelievably quiet background.

Tan Shaoshi was dumbfounded, and exchanged a glance with Yu Zhi.

Yu Zhi patted her on the shoulder, leaned closer and whispered in her ear, "Say what comes to mind, be natural."

Tan Shaoshi looked at Yu Zhi suspiciously.

Seeing that she didn't believe it anymore, Yu Zhi gave a good reason, "Anyway, she already hates you very much."

"..."

After being speechless for a moment, Tan Shaoshi thought that what Yu Zhi said was quite reasonable.The favorability between her and Tong Miaomiao is low enough, she is not afraid of defeat, so why bother.Tan Shaoshi figured it out, so she thought of something to say, "I'm Tan Shaoshi, is it convenient for you to answer the phone now?"

"Yeah." Tong Miaomiao cleared her throat, "Say it."

The slight vibrato was so pitiful, Tan Shaoshi's heart softened, and her voice softened unconsciously, "What happened?"

Tong Miaomiao didn't have much scheming, so she answered without thinking too much, "Ke Shan went on a blind date."

Tan Shaoshi was inexplicably relieved.

If Tong Miaomiao said that she was dumped by a client, as the "culprit", she really didn't know how to deal with it.Now Tong Miaomiao is talking about personal matters. She has experience of being consulted by friends about emotional problems, and follows the principle of "no advice, no comment, more listening and less talking", and generally nothing major happens.

Yu Zhi frowned, leaning on her shoulder and humming softly.

Tan Shaoshi shook hands to comfort his wife, then turned to Tong Miaomiao and said, "And then?"

"There's no more." Tong Miaomiao sniffed, "She ignored me, the phone has been busy..."

Tan Shaoshi didn't answer for a moment, but glanced at the time.

09:30 now.

Ke Shan hasn't answered the phone since she went on a blind date. Either she can avoid Tong Miaomiao, or it goes so smoothly that she has no time to talk to her.

No matter what, Tong Miaomiao would be unhappy.

She didn't say anything, and told Tong Miaomiao what she wanted to hear, "She may be busy, don't cry, wait a little longer."

"Really?" Tong Miaomiao suddenly realized, "Okay, I'll make another call later. Do you have anything to do with me? Just tell me."

The implication is not to occupy the phone call.

"I want to buy a gem from you." Tan Shaoshi said bluntly, "Morganite numbered bf01."

Tong Miaomiao refused readily, "No, I don't want to sell."

"The price is negotiable." Tan Shaoshi said softly, "I like this gem very much. I am inspired when I see it. I will definitely design it well to make it look the best."

Tong Miaomiao said frankly, "I'm not short of money, I think it looks the best now."

Tan Shaoshi thought Tong Miaomiao would have such a reaction.

But she never thought that Tong Miaomiao's resolute and firm voice would be so hurtful.

At home, Tan Shaoshi had no worries, and directly expressed her loss and sadness on her face.

Yu Zhi frowned, and grabbed the phone, "You haven't seen Shao Shi's design, so it's not good to jump to conclusions so quickly."

"Uh... I didn't mean that her design was bad." Tong Miaomiao made a little progress than before, "This is just my personal opinion. I believe your design is very good, but I prefer the original appearance of the gem."

Tan Shaoshi waved her hand, signaling Yu Zhi not to hate others.

Yu Zhi took a deep breath, and discussed in a good voice, "It's a misunderstanding, just make it clear. It's not easy for a designer to find a gem that inspires. Please understand Shao Shi, don't rush to refuse, what more Can you think about it for a few days?"

Tong Miaomiao was silent for a moment, then reluctantly replied, "Okay, I'll think about it again."

"Thank you."

After finishing the call, Tan Shaoshi fell back and rolled in the soft and warm blanket, "Ahhh, I knew it!"

"No rush," Yu Zhi dragged her back, "She promised us to think about it.

Tan Shaoshi raised her eyes to stare at Yu Zhi, and asked in a muffled voice, "Should I show her the design drawings?"

Yu Zhi smiled, "Shao Shi, have you read the rules of the competition?"

"Ok?"

"Entries are required to have no commercial use and no display." Yu Zhi said solemnly, "The definition of display is very vague. Leaked design drawings can also be called display, and will be disqualified. Tong Miaomiao didn't want to give you that gem in the first place." , if you show her the blueprint, she is more likely to be convinced, or is it more likely that you will spread your blueprint directly to ensure that you no longer need gems?"

Tan Shaoshi pursed her lips and remained silent.

Yu Zhi raised her eyebrows, "Do you think Tong Miaomiao can't do such a thing?"

"If I say yes, will you hit me?"

Yu Zhi really pulled her over and patted her lightly.

Through the quilt, Tan Shaoshi didn't feel any pain, but she felt that it was quite seductive.

She couldn't hide her emotions on her face, Yu Zhi looked at her blankly, smiled, pinched her face to remind, "Concentrate."

Tan Shaoshi sat up, threw the quilt away, and shook her head to wake herself up, "You are right, Tong Miaomiao can't do this kind of thing, but others can. She is so stupid and impulsive, and she doesn't listen to what others say. Be careful what to do if you show my blueprints to others."

"Well, yes." Yu Zhi smiled comfortingly, "Did I hurt you just now?"

"What should I do if it hurts?"

Yu Zhi put a pillow in her arms, patted her to signal her to lie down, "Rub it for you."

"It still hurts."

Tan Shaoshi lied shamelessly for the benefit and obediently got down.The benefits she received were too much, Yu Zhi lifted the hem of her nightgown and kneaded it inside, let out a muffled groan, then meandered upwards and gently squeezed it, which made her sit up in a jerk, and rushed over to beg her justice.

The next day, Tan Shaoshi yawned and went to work. She wanted to rest at the table but found that the table was too messy, so she slowly cleaned it up.

She saw the pen that she drew the design drawing yesterday and threw it aside.

Tan Shaoshi thought of the morganite that she couldn't buy, and also thought of Yu Zhi's words.She glanced at Tong Miaomiao's vacant seat, curled her lips, turned on the computer to find the official website of the competition, and read the Chinese version of the registration instructions carefully from beginning to end.

She saw some two.

"Multiple entries must be submitted at the same time, with the entrant identified on all relevant photos."

"In addition to submitting the application form, participants should also submit relevant drawings, photos or model photos of the entries."

The competition is international, and the registration process is cumbersome and complicated. Coupled with the limited energy of the designer himself, it is rare to submit multiple works. This is often overlooked, and it is never mentioned in the experience post.As for the finished product, the industry has always said that the zb competition is not affordable for ordinary people. Even if diamonds can apply for sponsorship, it is only a part of the huge cost of the production process, and they have ignored the key point that only the model is needed for the pre-selection.

Tan Shaoshi found a way to submit two works, one guaranteed, and the other a morganite design with feelings. The matter of choosing the stone will be discussed later.

She was motivated to focus on more worthy designs.

Tan Shaoshi searched for the information silently, and was only interrupted when an exclamation sounded not far away.

She looked up and saw several colleagues chatting around Ke Shan who had just arrived.

"Ke Shan, you are so beautiful today." My colleague sighed, "Do you have a date tonight?"

Ke Shan smiled, "No, just dress up in a good mood."

On this side is Ke Shan chatting with her colleagues about makeup, skirts and bags, and on the other side is Tong Miaomiao who came back temporarily to pick up things, lowered her head to pack the documents, and always accidentally dropped something.The same office, because two people have separated two worlds, it seems irrelevant.

Tan Shaoshi remembered Tong Miaomiao's crying yesterday, shook her head, took the cup and went to the tea room.

Tong Miaomiao also followed and poked her shoulder, "Shaoshi."

Tan Shaoshi almost splashed the water.

It's nothing to poke the shoulder, they don't know each other well, why are they called Shaoshi?

"What's the matter?" Tan Shaoshi smiled politely, thinking that the business would not be righteous.

Tong Miaomiao was embarrassed to say that she had to use her mobile phone to send her a message, even though it was face to face, "I'll give you morganite, can you help me?"

Tan Shaoshi has no obsession with the gem in Tong Miaomiao's hand, but has a subtle dislike for Tong Miaomiao himself.She intuitively felt that this was a trouble, and she wanted to refuse, but as soon as she thought about it, she heard Tong Miaomiao's pitiful pleading voice.

She had no choice but to ask reluctantly, "What can you help?"

"Chasing Ke Shan."

Seeing these three words, Tan Shaoshi frowned, and didn't think about whether to help or not for a while, so she felt that Tong Miaomiao was puzzled, "Why did you ask me for help?"

"You must be very capable if you caught up with the vice president."

The corner of Tan Shaoshi's mouth twitched, and she typed quickly, using extra force on the fingertip that touched the exclamation mark.

"She chased me!!!!!!"
