I become a fan of all people by fortune-telling

Tang Yan has gotten used to working in the design department these days. The feeling of being involved in the software is similar to the feeling he used to paint in the studio, and he can hardly feel the passage of time.

Yuntu Company does not force overtime, but they provide dinner at [-]:[-] pm, so many people volunteer to work overtime until [-]:[-] pm, and then go back after dinner.

After Tang Yan finished making the poster, it was already dark, and he realized that he had been sitting in his seat for several hours. The feeling of hunger brought him back to reality from the selfless world.

He knew that Yuntu provided free dinner, so he decided to eat at the company before leaving.

Tang Yan walked into the cafeteria, took two dishes and a meal with his employee card, went to buy a bottle of drink, and sat down at a seat by the door.

Tang Yan didn't expect that there were quite a lot of people staying to work overtime for dinner, and he couldn't help feeling that Mr. Xu was really rich.

At this moment, a pair of long legs stepped in from the door.

Xu Jiuyan is usually very strict with employees, and has a pair of sharp eyes, he can always see the mistakes of employees at work at a glance, so everyone in the company is afraid of him.

But he is also a very competent boss. He occasionally goes to the cafeteria to look at the food, and observes the number of people staying to work overtime, so as to speculate on the quarterly performance.

When the slender figure appeared in the cafeteria, several employees at the door immediately picked up their plates and went to other places, and bowed to Xu Jiuyan tremblingly before leaving.

Tang Yan, who was eating with his head down, didn't see this scene, but felt that the surroundings became quieter.

When Xu Jiuyan saw the young man not far away, he couldn't help but pause, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.He didn't expect to meet the magic stick here.

Some time ago, he asked the director of human resources to send the newcomer's information, and easily found Tang Yan in it.He took a general look and knew that the other party was a graduate student of Yunzhou University, and he came in in a serious manner, so he didn't expel the magic stick for the time being.

Tang Yan raised his head, just in time to see Xu Jiuyan at the door, his eyes also showed surprise.But after thinking about it, he felt that working overtime seemed quite normal for down-and-out employees who were frustrated in the workplace.

It's really hard work, no wonder I have a cold face every day.Thinking of this, Tang Yan couldn't help showing a trace of sympathy in his eyes.

Seeing the sympathy on Tang Yan's face, Xu Jiuyan frowned—why does this guy show such eyes every time?

Tang Yan looked around and found that everyone seemed to avoid the man in front of him deliberately, mistakenly thinking that he was not very popular in the company, and felt even more sympathetic for a while, so he couldn't help waving at him.

The surroundings were so quiet that the sound of a needle being dropped could be heard, and everyone couldn't believe that the boy dared to wave to Mr. Xu.

Xu Jiuyan suspected that his eyes were dazzled—this magic stick dared to take the initiative to talk to him?He was already showing mercy by not expelling him, how dare he come to the door by himself?

"Come and sit here." Tang Yan said to the man not far away.

Xu Jiuyan felt funny in his heart.This person didn't think he would eat in the staff canteen, did he?

With the mentality of "I want to see what you want to do", he walked to the seat opposite Tang Yan and sat down.

Tang Yan glanced at the man opposite and asked, "Are you working overtime too?"

Xu Jiuyan looked at him expressionlessly, noncommittal.

"To be honest, this is my first time working overtime." Tang Yan took a bite of the pot-packed meat on the plate, and said with emotion, "The main reason is that the poster on the wall is too big, otherwise I would have finished drawing it long ago."

After Xu Jiuyan heard this sentence, surprise flashed in his eyes - a poster on the wall?Isn't this the curated content of the art exhibition?

"If the manager of the building hadn't said that there was a bonus, I would have let Qin Mo do it alone. Hey, that person also rolled his eyes at me every day and refused to cooperate with me." Tang Yan shook his head and sighed, and said a lot Heap of words.

Xu Jiuyan finally confirmed that Lou Yang had given his most important project to a magic stick.

"I thought you could only play tricks." Xu Jiuyan taunted with a half-smile.However, he has a better impression of this magic stick in his heart. Being valued by Lou Yang shows that his ability is not bad, and his willingness to work overtime also shows that he can endure hardship.

Tang Yan looked at Xu Jiuyan, and explained half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Don't tell me, it's because I helped the building manager's mother tell fortunes that he organized this project for us."

Xu Jiuyan's face suddenly darkened, and the little good impression he had accumulated just now disappeared completely.

Tang Yan didn't notice it, and asked Xu Jiuyan: "Aren't you hungry? Go get some food."

Xu Jiuyan's voice was cold and piercing: "I'm not hungry."

"This pot-packed meat is very delicious." Tang Yan picked up another piece of meat, took a bite, and the aroma was overflowing, "It tastes better than the ones sold in restaurants outside."

The young man seemed to enjoy eating and was very serious about eating. The aroma of the food entered Xu Jiuyan's nose, which caught him off guard and made him feel hungry.

Tang Yan was just finishing his meal at this time. He wiped his mouth and said to Xu Jiuyan, "I'm done. Since you're not hungry, I'll go first."

After finishing speaking, he dragged his pace somewhat loosely, put his briefcase on his back and left.

Xu Jiuyan looked at the back of him leaving, stood up frowning, and couldn't believe that he just had the idea of ​​eating in the staff cafeteria.

Seeing him get up, the employees next to him were too scared to look at each other.

Xu Jiuyan scanned the cafeteria with his cold and narrow eyes, and suddenly said to a passing male employee, "Come here, I have something to ask you."

The male employee and Xu Jiuyan looked at each other, swallowed nervously, walked up to him and asked nervously, "Xu, Mr. Xu... is there anything wrong?"

Xu Jiuyan stared at him for a while, then asked: "The pot-packed meat in the cafeteria is delicious?"

The male employee was stunned for a moment.

It took him about five seconds to react, and quickly replied: "It's delicious, it's super delicious, I always order pot-packed meat!" Although his tone was a bit exaggerated, he was telling the truth.

Xu Jiuyan nodded calmly, indicating that he can go.

After the male employee left, Xu Jiuyan called the manager of the cafeteria and said to him directly: "The chef who cooks the pot-packed meat in your kitchen has a salary increase of [-]." After speaking, he left the cafeteria.

Although Tang Yan's workload is huge, he has super strong composition skills after all. He only worked overtime once to complete most of the line drafts, and finished the poster the next afternoon.

At this time, Qin Mo's line draft has not been smoothed out yet.

Tang Yan was not in a hurry to hand it in, anyway, he had already completed the task, and he could fish openly.

So he turned on the video website again, this time watching a BBC planetary documentary.

The colleagues around saw that Tang Yan was starting to fish, and they all tacitly agreed in their hearts that Tang Yan gave up the production of posters and voluntarily withdrew from the competition with Qin Mo.

But they can also understand, after all, it is really unfair for a newcomer in the workplace to compete with a design veteran.If it were them, they would probably give up.

The most important point is - no one would have thought that Tang Yan could finish the poster within two days.

Seeing Tang Yan like this, Qin Mo thought to himself that everything was as he expected, this kid is just a worthless vase.

Tang Yan watched the documentary with great interest, but he didn't want to know what others thought of him.

Two days later, when it was time to submit the manuscript, Tang Yan slowly sent the manuscript to Shan Yang's mailbox.

In fact, he could choose to paddle, but Qin Mo not only stole his design but also mocked him, which made him feel very uncomfortable, so he agreed to the request of one person to make a poster at that time.

As for the bonus mentioned by the manager of the building, that is secondary.

This morning, Shan Yang sat in his office routinely checking his mailbox, and saw the posters sent by Tang Yan and Qin Mo as expected.

He had high expectations for Qin Mo's poster, so he opened it first.

Qin Mo's poster was probably made to please Mr. Xu. The color is very bright, and the patterns of dragon and phoenix are drawn on it.

Qin Mo looked at the poster and nodded appreciatively, thinking that Qin Mo did a pretty good job this time.

Then, he casually opened Tang Yan's poster.

To be honest, he has also known about Tang Yan's work status in the past few days. Except for working overtime on the first day, he spends the rest of the time sneaking fish. He has no expectations for Tang Yan's works.However, he also thought about it, and he really shouldn't treat newcomers too harshly, the task of wall posters is indeed arduous.

Before Shan Yang opened the poster, he was still thinking about how to comfort Tang Yan who was not selected later, but when the poster was displayed in front of him, he immediately froze.

This is an ink-and-wash style poster. The content of the painting is cleverly designed. It shows a teenager kneeling by the pool, holding a paintbrush in his hand, and painting colors against the pond, as if the pond is his canvas.

The angle of the painting is looking up from the bottom of the pond, with clear layers, one or two small fish passing by, the roots of duckweed and lotus leaves, transparent bubbles, fishermen's boats, and circles of ripples can be seen.

The boy by the pond looks a bit lonely, and the paintbrush in his hand is the finishing touch of the whole poster——

The teenager seems to use this pen to describe the three-dimensional world outside the poster.

Shan Yang was stunned in front of this painting for more than ten minutes, and finally called the manager of the building like a dream.

Lou Yang received a call from Xu Jiuyan's grandfather Xu Jianyang early in the morning, asking him to have a meeting at Xu's villa.

Xu Jianyang used to ask old employees of Yuntu Company about Xu Jiuyan's questions, most of which had nothing to do with work, but related to Xu Jiuyan's health.

This time, Lou Yang arrived at Xu Jianyang's villa with trepidation, and saw many familiar faces as soon as he arrived at the door.

Xu Jianyang called all the managers and directors of Yuntu Company and Xu Jiuyan who had been friends with each other.

"Hey, you said Master Xu called us here, what's the matter?" Someone in the crowd asked curiously.

"What else can I do? I guess I'm asking about Mr. Xu's recent situation again." Someone replied as a matter of course.

Lou Yang received a call from Shan Yang at the entrance of the villa. As soon as the phone rang, the housekeeper opened the door and invited the managers to come in. Lou Yang had no choice but to hang up the phone first and send a message to Shan Yang: "I have something to do, let's talk about it when I go back."

Only Xu Jianyang lives in this villa. After his wife passed away a few years ago, he refused his family's request to live with him. He is a very lonely person.

From some angles, Xu Jiuyan is very similar to his character.

After many managers were seated in the living room, Xu Jianyang ordered the nanny to entertain them with high-quality refreshments.

After a few cups of tea, Xu Jianyang cut to the topic and asked about Xu Jiuyan's recent situation.

Everyone's answers were similar, nothing more than being in good health, having a bad temper, and looking the same as before.

Someone also mentioned that he recently fired an assistant. The reason for the dismissal was that the assistant read horoscope books during working hours.

After chatting for a while, Xu Jianyang glanced around the crowd, and suddenly asked: "Then, do you think there is any way for Xiao Jiu and the fortune-teller to meet for a long time? I want the master to calculate his fortune every day."

As soon as these words came out, the air in the living room fell into an awkward silence.

The "impossible" on Lou Yang's mouth almost blurted out.

Let Xu Jiuyan meet the fortune teller, there is only one possibility, that is, Xu Jiuyan detains the fortune teller to the police station.

When Xu Jianyang saw the embarrassment on everyone's faces, he sighed almost inaudibly, a hint of helplessness appeared on his old face.

At this moment, the director of the financial department suggested: "Actually... I have an idea."

Xu Jianyang's eyes lit up, and he asked, "What way?"

"If you just want the fortune-teller to meet Mr. Xu himself, and to meet him for a long time." The chief financial officer said, "It's better to arrange the fortune-teller inside Yuntu Company and let him 'lurk' beside Mr. Xu."

As soon as the voice fell, there was a collective uproar.

"are you crazy?"

"This lurking is more dangerous than a spy!"

"Have you ever thought about what would happen if you were caught?"

Someone pointed out the most critical loophole in this plan: "Those powerful fortune tellers all started at the age of 60, how could they sneak into our company? Could it be that Yuntu has been converted into a nursing home?"

The atmosphere fell into embarrassment again.

Lou Yang also felt that this plan was not feasible, the main problem was that he could not find a fortune teller who could not be discovered.

Xu Jianyang saw that everyone was at a loss, and he didn't force them to continue to find a way, so he let them leave.

Lou Yang followed the crowd out of the gate of Xu's house, but the moment he stepped out of the door, he seemed to think of something he had forgotten.

Are there any younger fortune tellers?

It seems... yes.

Lou Yang's eyes lit up, he patted his head, turned around and told Xu Jianyang about it.

Xu Jianyang, who was already planning to give up, asked after hearing what Lou Yang said, "Is there a suitable candidate? Tell me, what kind of master is he?"

"Very powerful, very powerful." Lou Yang said full of praise, "And... he is now an employee of Yuntu."

Xu Jianyang frowned and said, "Yuntu still has six or seventy-year-old employees? Isn't that good?"

"No no no," Lou Yang showed a mysterious expression, "Master is only 23 years old."

Xu Jianyang was stunned when he heard the words, and immediately asked: "23 years old? Did I hear correctly? Is there such a young master? Is it reliable..."

"Master Xu, if you are worried," Lou Yang said, "you might as well meet in person."

Xu Jianyang looked at him silently, and after a while, he nodded slowly.
