save the leaves

At five o'clock in the morning on November 11st, Ye Yuanyuan was born.Although Yan Datong was with his younger brother in the hospital, because he slept too soundly on the bench, he missed the great moment of his niece's birth.Yan Mo has indeed grown up. In the past, no matter what point, he must be picked up to share "the joy of leaves".

After completing his brother's duties, Yan Datong continued to work.The foundation has been completed and the building has begun.The entire industrial park is divided into three blocks, and the three partitions are like clover, revolving around a huge circular square.Every day, commuting workers will get off the bus at the square, and then enter their respective parks to take cars to their workshops.The idea of ​​this industrial park is to use it as a base to attract top 500 enterprises to settle in and drive the economic development of the eastern and central parts of S Province.

In the middle, Boss Qin accompanied the provincial leaders to visit the construction site.Yan Datong accompanies the last place respectfully, and after a boring day with them, they eat and drink to compliment each other again.Yan Datong saw with his own eyes that the so-called big boss was also a mortal in front of the big leader, who should drink and brag.Yan Datong felt balanced.There is a Tathagata Buddha on top of the monkeys at all levels!

"Come on, Datong, let's have a drink!" The big boss was staggering from drinking, and it was probably about the same, but he still remembered to clink glasses with him.

"Hey, I'm the one who respects you, respects you." Yan Datong raised his glass and killed him in one gulp.

"Okay. If you have a shallow affection, take a sip; if you have a deep affection-"

"Stuffy." Yan Datong held the boss's arm with his hand, fearing that the boss would fall down.The big boss leaned on his shoulders, reeking of alcohol, and asked, "How is your younger brother? Has he graduated?"

"Not yet, but soon, next spring. Thanks to the boss, I still remember that kid, thank you, thank you."

"I just heard from Ni Fan that he gave birth to a daughter. I will deliver the gift some other day."

"Oh, don't dare to be, dare not be. He didn't contribute anything, so he dared not accept your gift. You can boast a few words."

"Hey, it must be. Great joy."

"Then I'll thank Mr. Qin on his behalf first. I'll take him to the door to thank him another day."

"it is good."

Yan Datong took the big boss's "another day" as a polite remark, but he didn't expect that "another day" was the next night.Ni Fan brought a box of baby supplies to the villa in person, scaring Yan Datong to the core.Yan Mo was at home, Yan Datong hurriedly called someone out to thank him.Ni Fan looked at Yan Mo and smiled, not knowing what it meant.Yan Datong secretly speculated in his heart: First, Mr. Qin wanted to recruit Yan Mo as an employee, but unfortunately, the big boss couldn't handle such a trivial matter; second, Mr. Qin expressed condolences for his hard work, which is possible; There is some kind of special arrangement for Yan Mo, it's best not to.Yan Datong has a sense of fear of the unknown.

Since the big boss's words count when drunk, Yan Datong is more trustworthy.On the morning of the first day of the lunar new year, Yan Datong took Yan Mo straight to Qin's residence in the provincial capital to pay New Year's greetings to the big boss.The Qin residence is a courtyard, and there is no special place, it is located in the army compound.The courtyard is quiet and quiet, as if it is a paradise amidst the sound of forced demolition, unemployment, and fighting.On the wall of the living room is a photo of Grandpa Qin Jiangwei in military uniform.Qin's father was also a soldier. In Qin Jiangwei's generation, the atmosphere changed and he went into business.However, Yan Datong thought in his heart that this military business could also be combined.

"I heard that you are studying architectural design, so may I ask you to draw a courtyard of my house?" Qin Jiangwei and Yan Datong said politely, turning to Yan Mo behind him.

Yan Mo turned his head to look at his brother, of course Yan Datong agreed, but he thought in his heart that he should not have lunch in the Qin residence?Is this appropriate?He was beating drums in his heart, but Yan Mo was very obedient and ran outside the yard to observe.The servant brought paper and pencils, and Qin Jiangwei sent the things outside with a smile.Yan Mo asked, 【Is it an oil painting or a structural drawing? 】

"What do you say?"

[If it's an oil painting, I can sketch it one day, and I'll take it back and repair it slowly.Submit after three months.If you draw a structural diagram, you have to wait until tomorrow to bring tools to measure.Submit within a week. 】

Yan Datong stood behind Qin Jiangwei, winking at his younger brother frequently.

"That—Boss Qin, he's a kid, don't count on him, I'll recommend another famous painter to you."

"No. I just want to inspect our young engineers. Bring a copy of the oil painting and the structural drawing. You can come to the door at any time. If I'm not here, someone will receive you. I'll buy any materials I need."

[I buy the materials myself.You are unprofessional and always buy wrong. 】

"Leaf, you're rude."

"It's okay, I like people who tell the truth."

No wonder you like it!

"Hey, Mr. Qin thinks highly of Yan Mo. Then we'll come to the house tomorrow to bother you."

"Let's go after lunch."

"No, no. Mr. Qin is busy, so we won't bother you, don't bother you."

After repeated courtesies, Yan Datong left the Qin residence with the sweat on his back.On the return journey, Yan Datong scolded, "Yezi, Mr. Qin just wanted to be polite to you, do you really take it seriously?"

[But I think he is serious. 】

"Come on, I understand his kind of person better than you. I just look at my face and praise you. Use both kindness and power. Don't draw seriously, and turn around and he will throw it in the trash can for you."

【But--】

"You don't understand, brat. The living room of their house is full of famous paintings. Why would you put your student's painting on it? Don't be naive. Listen to me, you need to come to the door tomorrow to measure the data accurately. Your skills as an architect may not be able to hide from the eyes of the big boss. But oil painting, just fool it. Art, who the hell understands?"

[Brother, do you often fool people like this? 】Yan Mo's eyebrows frowned into small peaks.

"Hey, Ye Zi, this--this is a different problem. Brother is not asking you to play tricks, but it is like this in society. People are too serious, and they will suffer. Think about it, it is the same as before, painting and painting , toss for a few months, and then send it to him with hope, he said yes in person, turned his back and threw it into the trash can, can you bear it?"

Yan Mo was very confused by the adults' words, and his small face turned into an old walnut.

"Okay, it's right to listen to what my brother said. I don't know him well, let alone the first time you meet him?"

【But brother, why are you so anxious.Our purpose is just to please him, whether he throws it or not, as long as it makes sense. 】

Yan Datong was quite surprised by Yan Mo's final statement, and he was right, no matter what his big boss thinks, it's very simple to look at the problem from his own purpose: do what he likes, and don't care if it's true or not.Yan Datong stopped talking, and turned his eyes to the gray winter street scene outside the window, and some invisible changes were happening quietly.Spring is not far away.

The next day Yan Datong had to cancel a series of appointments and went to the Qin residence again.Wu Lulu persuaded him to let Jin Youwu accompany him, but Yan Datong always had an inexplicable uneasiness in his heart. He couldn't bear his brother breaking into the Hou's house alone.Fortunately, Qin Jiangwei was not there.Only the old lady, a servant and a guard were at home.After seeing the ceremony, Mrs. Qin smiled and signaled them to be free, and the two left the main room.Yan Mo was busy with a tape measure in one hand and a notebook in the other.Yan Datong helped him pull the tape measure and reported the length, width and height, which was extremely boring.After collecting the data in the morning, at noon Yan Datong resolutely resigned the old lady's invitation to have dinner in the Qin residence, and dragged his younger brother and bodyguards to deal with it casually in the restaurant outside.In the afternoon, Yan Mo sat on the ponytail and made a sketch in front of the gate.With this job, Yan Datong couldn't help him even more. He asked two bodyguards to keep warm in the living room, and he accompanied his younger brother outside to fight the cold.Yan Mo used three pencils to scribble alternately on the sketch paper, and an ancient door with light and dark contrast slowly unfolded on the paper.Yan Datong hadn't seen his younger brother's painting for a long time, and felt fresh. "Take it easy!" He couldn't stop talking, hinting to his younger brother not to be serious from time to time.

A BMW came slowly and stopped at the door.Yan Datong's small eyes caught a glimpse of the familiar license plate number, he shook all over, immediately put away his sluggish appearance, opened his smiling face, and stretched out his hands towards the person coming.

"Mr. Ni, Happy New Year! Happy New Year!"

"Oh, Mr. Yan, didn't you come here yesterday?"

"Yeah, yeah, it's not because Boss Qin thinks highly of him and wants my younger brother to make a fool of himself, so he asks for it again." Yan Datong held Ni Fan's warm hand tightly.

"Oh—" The eyes of Ni Fan and Yan Mo happened to meet in the air, Yan Mo grinned shyly, and Ni Fan nodded meaningfully. "Okay, Mr. Qin likes young people. You are busy, I will send a big fish from the reservoir to the old lady. You are busy."

Ni Fan took the big herring from the driver and entered the door alone.After a while, Ni Fan came out empty-handed, exchanged polite words with Yan Datong again, and inadvertently glanced at Yan Mo's back, then lowered his head and got into the car, waved to Yan Datong, and left.Yan Mo didn't feel anything about the short episode, but Yan Datong felt worried.What is 'President Qin likes young people'?Qin Jiangwei was about the same age as him, so he should be domineering in front of him, but what did Yan Mo have to do with him?An ordinary student, or a mute, is given to others as an employee, and they don't want to take it?

I was busy until five o'clock in the afternoon, Yan Mo said it was ok.Yan Datong heaved a long sigh of relief, and brought Yan Mo in to bid farewell to the old lady.But the old lady said that Qin Jiangwei wanted to keep them for dinner.Ask them to wait until six o'clock.Yan Datong was happy on the face, but scolded his mother in his heart.Wait until six o'clock, finish eating at nine o'clock, and return home at 11 o'clock, who will miss your meal?The old lady was an honest person. After conveying her son's intentions, she went to the kitchen to work with the servants and left the two guests in the living room.Yan Datong made a face at Yan Mo, picked up his mobile phone and informed the two bodyguards outside, asking them to find a place to eat by themselves.Turning around to comfort Yan Mo, he said, "He is warm, so we still have to accept it. It's okay, if it doesn't work, we won't be going back tonight." Yan Mo shrugged and pursed his lips helplessly.

At 06:30, the busy boss Qin finally appeared at the door.Yan Datong, who stood at the door as soon as he heard the sound of the engine, grabbed Qin Jiangwei's hand and shook it enthusiastically and vigorously to express his endless reverence.Yan Mo stood shyly behind him, looking back and forth at the two nonsense people.

"Yezi, hurry up and congratulate President Qin on the New Year!" Although Yan Datong was unwilling, he still grabbed Yan Mo's arm and pushed his younger brother in front of the big boss.

Yan Mo instinctively raised his hand and pushed to get rid of his brother's shackles, and stepped back with his left foot, which made him move further away from his master. "Oops," Yan Datong yelled in his heart, he ignored Yan Mo's character of arrogance internally and indifference externally.It's okay to speak from a distance, and shaking hands is a courtesy, if it wasn't for his elder brother to do the tugging just now, Yan Mo would definitely go mad on the spot.But how can he explain it clearly to Boss Qin?

"You kid—hey, Mr. Qin, he's shy. Hehe!"

"Hey. Let's go in, the door is cold, don't freeze our architect." Qin Jiangwei selectively ignored the episode just now, and walked towards the living room.Yan Datong glanced at his younger brother, frowned slightly, worried about his younger brother's future.The two followed Qin Jiangwei into the living room.A large copper hot pot has been placed on the round table, along with various side dishes blooming like petals.

"Come on, it's cold, hot pot is still the most appetizing. Ye Zi, do you like it?"

Of course he likes it, except for dessert, it is hot pot.Yan Mo nodded shyly.Yan Datong felt a little relief in his heart.You can eat anything, as long as the leaves are happy.Qin Jiangwei sat down at the main seat carelessly, and before the old lady appeared, he raised his chopsticks to persuade the guests to eat.

"Boss Qin, the old lady hasn't come yet?" Yan Datong said modestly.

"Oh, my mom never goes to parties. She eats in the house. Let's get started."

"It's embarrassing."

"It's okay. If you have to let my mother come out to accompany you, then you will suffer!" Qin Jiangwei fished out the mutton slices from the hot pot with a smile, put them on Yan Mo's plate, and said, "Ye Zi, eat. You work for me, there is no other reward, just eat enough, don't be hungry. There will be ice cream after eating!"
