save the leaves

To say that there is no pay is to raise Yan Datong to the status of a friend, not just a subordinate.Yan Datong was overjoyed, raised his glass and said, "Boss Qin, it is my honor, Yan Datong, to serve you. I respect you with this glass of wine." Qin Jiangwei raised his glass, and the two drank the first glass.Yan Mo watched the two of them back and forth, his right finger hovering left and right on the table, wondering if he should put his chopsticks on the mutton slice in front of him.

"Leaf, eat it quickly, don't wait for it to cool down and it won't taste good." Qin Jiangwei greeted Yan Mo like an elder.Yan Mo glanced at him quickly, a shy smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.But Yan Datong understands that this elder is not that elder.Renju is the real elder.

"Ah - Ye Zi, you eat yours, we adults drink, don't worry about it." Yan Datong cleverly excluded Yan Mo from drinking. "President Qin, come, let me toast you again. Cheers to the successful completion of the industrial park in Dongcheng."

"it is good."

"Don't wander around at midnight on weekends, come to Apple Paradise!" Yan Mo's cell phone rang, which is a rare occurrence.People usually text him.Yan Mo handed the phone to his brother.Yan Datong apologized to the big boss, and then answered Zhao Qiaoqiao's call.

"Yuanyuan has a fever? Hurry up to the hospital. We can't come back now, we're still in the provincial capital! Oh, it's useless for us to come back, you have to find a doctor. Yan Mo is here with me! He can't speak, you go to him What are you doing? Alright, I’ll ask your sister-in-law to help. Send her to the hospital right away.” Handing the phone to Yan Mo, Yan Datong turned to Qin Jiangwei to apologize, “I’m so sorry, my niece suddenly fell ill. Her mother is also a A student, an uninitiated person—"

【Brother, I want to go back. 】Yan Mo stood up.

"Sit down. Why are you going back? When our car arrives, the illness will be cured. It's normal for children to have a cold and fever. It's okay."

[But now the hospital is also on holiday.What if I can't find anyone to see a doctor? 】

"How is it possible? There will always be emergencies in the hospital. Don't worry, sit down and eat."

If it was a call before dinner, before Qin Jiangwei arrived, Yan Datong might consider letting his younger brother slip away first.But now the master is right in front of his eyes—one cannot help himself in the rivers and lakes!

[No, I want to go back.No more meals. 】After Yan Mo finished writing, he played it to them and stomped his feet.How naive, a person in his 20s stomps his feet in someone's house.Yan Datong frowned, Yan Mo received his message, stopped, looked at his brother displeased, then turned around and shot all his dissatisfaction at Qin Jiangwei like an arrow.Yan Datong's hands trembled, and he almost knocked down the wine glass in his hand.

"That—Boss Qin, he's still a child—"

"Oh, the child is sick, of course the parents are anxious. I understand very well. Otherwise, this is the end of today, and we will get together again when we have a chance." Qin Jiangwei said generously.Yan Datong didn't dare to be magnanimous, he repeatedly stated that he was fine, absolutely fine, and he had to finish the meal before leaving no matter what.

Yan Mo stood aside, bowed his head and wrote, 【President Qin, I will go first alone.You and my brother have a few more drinks. 】

Yan Datong turned to look at his younger brother, he will compromise, not bad. "It's okay, Mr. Qin, let him go back first, and I'll drink with you."

Qin Jiangwei smiled lightly, put down his chopsticks, and said kindly to Yan Mo, "No need. Next time."

"Which is appropriate?" Yan Datong panicked.

"Next time make me a hot pot meal, how about it?" Qin Jiangwei ignored him and focused on talking to Yan Mo.

"Definitely." Yan Datong immediately connected.At this critical moment, you can no longer wait for Yan Mo's slow 'answer'.But the flattery seemed to be patted on the horse's leg, Qin Jiangwei frowned slightly, and seemed dissatisfied with his interruption.A dark cloud fell in Yan Datong's heart.

The two hurried out of the military compound, waiting anxiously in the cold wind for the bodyguards to drive over.There were few passers-by on the street in the second day of junior high school, and everyone was laughing and laughing in their own homes, but the two brothers stood hungry at the door of others.The cold wind squeezed into Yan Datong's constricted nasal cavity, and he shivered uncontrollably. "Yezi, you behaved—a little—not well today. Don't do this in the future, and focus on the overall situation." Yan Datong muttered in a low voice.

"Hmph," Yan Mo wrote disdainfully, 【Your business is the overall situation, and you don't even care about your family's life or death! 】

Yan Datong sighed heavily, and persuaded, "The matter is not as serious as you said. I bet you: when we return to the city, Yuanyuan's fever has subsided, do you believe it?"

【Even then, I can't sit with him and eat hot pot.I can not eat. 】

"I know, I can't eat it, but—" Yan Datong tightened his collar with his hands, "If you quit in the middle of something while doing things outside, you will lose your reputation. Your partner will be unhappy."

【Brother, are you that afraid of them?Isn't it just a little bit of power? 】

"That's enough, Ye Zi. You'll understand later. The chance of offending a big shot is far greater than the chance of dying from a cold and fever." Yan Datong stomped his feet and looked at his watch. No, Yan Datong felt how helpless life was.

Yan Mo's complexion gradually changed under his brother's lament, and he wrote hesitantly, 【Brother, will my actions today affect your business? 】

Yan Datong looked back at his younger brother and sighed deeply, "Are you okay? Mr. Qin seems to like you, so he shouldn't blame you. Next time, let's treat him well and make up for it. Maybe it will be all right. .”

The black Accord stopped quietly in front of the two of them, Yan Datong shut up, opened the car door and got in.Yan Mo hesitated, and followed in.The night is like a thick curtain covering the car and the people inside, preventing you from leaving the scheduled route at will.Leaving means punishment.Yan Datong leaned tiredly against the car window. He was disturbed by the series of accidents in the past two days. He was thinking, what is the big boss thinking at this time?Although this trivial matter is not enough to affect the current cooperative relationship between the two, as long as the opponent is someone like Qin Jiangwei, Yan Datong can't help but worry.Authority is like the eye of an eagle, like a copper snake, like Medusa, who turns to stone at a glance.You can't help but tremble under its gaze.

"Dingling, dingling!" Yan Datong turned on the phone, it was Han Ye's calling, he turned his head to look at Yan Mo who was sitting at the other end in a daze, changed the phone from the right ear to the left, and said in a low voice, "What? What?" In addition to congratulating the New Year, Han Ye tactfully said that for this reason and that reason at home, he wanted to go south to work.Yan Datong was silent for a moment and said, "Just leave the key at the property." Then he simply hung up the phone.If a good start is half the battle, then this year is probably already half bad.

It was 10:30 when I arrived at Zhao's house. The little baby had already returned from the hospital with antipyretic injections and fell asleep.Zhao Qiaoqiao grabbed Yan Mo's arm from the moment they entered the door, crying out all the worries of the night.Yan Datong sat on the sofa and waited, then interjected as calmly as possible, "In the future, if you encounter an emergency, you can find the people around you for help faster, and don't place your hopes on people thousands of miles away. You see, it's useless for us to come back. Doctors are faster."

"Brother, what are you talking about? The child is sick, why can't you tell her father?"

"Qiaoqiao, I'm telling you which way to deal with things is more effective."

"I don't care. I don't own the child alone. You insisted on having it. Now I don't care if I'm sick. There's no such reason."

Yan Datong bit his lower lip with his teeth.Exhaustion came out again from under the hem of his clothes, covering him like a shroud.Yan Datong closed his eyes and didn't want to talk anymore.The chirping of the Zhao family rang again in my ears.The black waves rushed into the cave, one after another, without giving up.

"Brother-bro-bro, brother-bro-bro-bro,"

"Ah—what's the matter? Oh, it's over? Well, I should go back too. No, I don't live here. I'll go back. You accompany them. I'm going."

The five-story building is difficult to say, and easy to say, just like this step in life, it is difficult to advance, and it is also difficult to retreat.Yan Datong's knees are weak, he is only in his early 30s, but tonight he looks like a 60-year-old man, he has to move step by step down the stairs.

"Brother-brother-brother," Yan Mo followed up later, chattering behind him.Yan Datong sighed, smiled again, turned around and said, "Okay, brother, don't be angry. You-hey, forget it, I just won't let you attend such occasions in the future. You are not suitable. After graduation My brother’s company is coming to work, so stop handing out resumes everywhere. That’s it, go up.”

【Brother, I know it's not easy for you outside. 】

My brother's words are like a ray of golden light in the dark clouds. No matter how dark the sky is, there is hope for it to clear up.Yan Datong looked at his younger brother who was already on the same level with him in relief, clicked his tongue, patted Yan Mo on the shoulder without saying anything, and left.

(09)

In June, Yan Mo graduated.The industrial park is still under construction.Yan Datong insisted on letting Yan Mo enter his company to help, and arranged the young couple in the newly established design department.In fact, the main design was outsourced to the Provincial No. [-] Design Institute, and the interior design was outsourced to Huang Mengliang's "Image Design" company. Yan Datong discussed with an insider for a long time, and arranged for Zhao Qiaoqiao to be in charge of communication, and Yan Mo to be in charge of verifying the drawings.It is necessary to take into account the face of the younger brother, but also to find a reason to pay wages.

September NO.12, Mid-Autumn Festival, family reunion.However, the progress of the project is behind schedule, and the interior decoration and plumbing cannot be completed before October [-]st.Yan Datong wandered around the industrial park all day, and after discussing with his subordinates for a long time, he couldn't come up with a better plan.

"Mr. Yan, we can't blame us for this. The materials can't enter the market, and our workers can't do their jobs. What can we do? I'm still worried. The salary is paid for nothing, and the loss is huge." The old grandson in charge of water and electricity explain.

Yan Datong scolded in his heart, who is to blame if the materials can't come in?You won't buy it sooner?But he didn't dare to say that Lao Suntou was recommended by Director Xie of the Development Office.

"Hey, there are difficulties, I know. Hey!"

"Yes, Mr. Yan, we also have difficulties." Huang Mengliang spread his hands and interjected, "The design drawings we sent to Minister Yan were rejected by him twice, and there is nothing we can do."

"Mr. Huang, didn't I say to follow the second drawing? He is just a fresh graduate with no social experience, so don't worry about him."

"Mr. Yan, we did what you said, but Brother Ling always came to the scene to make trouble for us, which made my subordinates very embarrassed."

What kind of character can Yan Mo be, but he uses Yan Mo as a shield when his progress is slow, this person is as slippery as a loach.

"Okay, everyone, don't say anything. I understand your difficulties. But if the industrial park can't be completed in time, everyone can't pay the job, right? Think of a way and help each other."

"Mr. Yan, let me tell you, it's impossible to finish the work. We can only find a way in other ways." The old grandson knocked on the table with his hand slowly. "Anyway, it already looks good outside, so it's no problem to hold a completion ceremony."

"President Sun," Jin Youwu, the deputy general manager, interjected, "you can't say that. Those companies that have signed agreements with us will enter the market at that time, and they will reveal their secrets at a glance. There is no way to hide it."

"Boss Jin," Huang Mengliang said with a light smile, "Look for those companies to do some work. Let them come in a few days later. Just come on October [-]st to support the show."

"Then how about Mr. Huang going to work?" Jin Youwu resisted forcefully. "Boss Huang has a better career in the province than we do. It's definitely okay for you to speak up." Huang Mengliang was recommended by Qin Jiangwei's friend, and he is probably the big boss behind him.

"Haha, Mr. Jin, you praise me too much. In fact, your backstage is even stronger. Otherwise, such a big garden would not be in your house. Haha——"

Yan Datong touched his rough chin back and forth with his fingers. He was so busy these days that he even shaved his beard carelessly, and weeds spread on his chin.If he asks the big boss for help because he is not good at doing things, Yan Datong can't afford to lose face.His role is that of a troublemaker, not a troublemaker.It's okay to hold a fake completion ceremony to deceive the city leaders, but it's not okay if someone pokes it out.You can slap the leader in the face quietly, even if they know it, it doesn't matter, but don't let the world know that you slap the leader in the face, then it will be difficult for the leader not to lose his temper.

"Okay, everyone, stop arguing. Old Sun, whether your pipeline can be completed in mid-October, you have to give me an accurate statement today."

"no problem."

"Okay, what about Mr. Huang?"

"Almost."

"Success. Then everyone will work hard, work overtime and move forward. I will figure out other things."

After the outsiders had left, Yan Datong said to Jin Youwu, "Youwu, we are like this, you call the bosses of all the companies one by one tomorrow, saying that I, Yan Datong, invite you to dinner at Jiahelou. One-on-one, don't engage in a chorus .”

"Brother Yan, aren't you afraid that they will sue?"

"Hey! How can there be any way? I will prepare a big red envelope for everyone. I will put this old face on the table and let them scold and step on it. As long as I can save the face of the big boss, it is a success. If it is not possible, Then bite the bullet and ask the big boss to come forward to settle it." Yan Datong patted his left cheek vigorously with his hand, as if he was slapping a snake skin drum.

"Brother Yan, I think you're too—" Jin Youwu raised his lips, as if he wanted to say something.

"Too cowardly, isn't it?" Yan Datong smiled, "It doesn't matter, as long as I can pass through October safely, I am willing to be a little cowardly. Everyone has their own opinions. You can keep yours, and I stick to mine: and for Gui. Youwu, this is a shopping mall, not a battlefield. Well, let’s go home, today is the holiday, and I don’t want to worry about anything.”
