Please follow the doctor's advice

On the seventh day of the forum, Lao Liu rented a meeting room in the hotel where he was staying, and a group of old faces with positions, including me, held a video conference with the directors of the domestic group.

The atmosphere is rather dignified, and both sides of the video are worried.Domestic directors attach great importance to this investment plan. I heard that a special banquet was held the day before leaving the country. The only company that was invited finally made a fuss, so how can these people brag in the circle in the future?

Lao Liu and the others were also frowning. After all, some pressure and the dilemma of having nowhere to start can only be felt when they are in it, and they cannot explain it in detail to the donor who is thousands of miles away. If they talk too much, it may be considered perfunctory , Not trying hard.

But these world's top institutions say that they will land on the moon when they land on the moon, they will penetrate the center of the earth when they say that they can penetrate the center of the earth, and they can build a tunnel through the Pacific Ocean. Why have they never seen it?How can it be so easy to contact?Ordinary letters are ignored by the other party.If it weren't for the opportunity of this forum, maybe we might not be able to stand in front of them in ten or eight years.

A director who didn't know the title but sat in the front seat asked: "According to your time, how many days are there?"

Lao Liu: "Today's content is over, there are two days left for the theme part, and another three days for the free forum."

The person asked again: "Have other investors contacted you?"

"Yes, but I haven't responded yet. We have set relatively high-end funding sources and investment thresholds. Once we set a precedent, our grades will drop a few steps in the eyes of the outside world." Lao Liu held the literati's point Don't let go of your strength, "It's inevitable that you will encounter difficulties for the first time. If you feel cold-hearted, you will lower your self-worth. I think the gain outweighs the loss."

The person who asked the question was a little embarrassed, but the general was away, and the king's fate was not accepted, not to mention that the vice president in charge hadn't spoken yet, so he couldn't say much.For a moment, a sour smell permeated the meeting room, and someone on the other end of the video impatiently pulled his tie.

Lao Liu also came out of the laboratory when he was young. I understand his thoughts very well. After all, no matter how authoritative and well-spoken the usual journals are, they are just printed materials. Whether they are competitive depends on whether someone is willing to invest money. , How much money has been invested in development for you, the more high-end the investment institution, the more money you give, the more promising your project is.The opposite is also true, if the evaluation is closed for a long time, everyone is happy to be a treasure, and when they take it out to see that no one is willing to spend money, or they are only willing to give a mere [-] cents, it is too embarrassing.

If you can get investment from well-known institutions on the list, even if it is only a small capital injection at the beginning, it is equivalent to plating a layer of global gold on the project, which will greatly facilitate future review and promotion. A kind of encouragement, everyone will be more motivated.

Although the old Liu Zhao is thousands of miles away from Xu Yiren in appearance, I can hear Xu Yiren's tone from this sentence, that is, it doesn't matter if you have more money or less, as long as someone he recognizes gives him some affirmation , he will be able to drink the northwest wind and fight again.

In this materialistic society, there are still people who persist in refusing to completely give up their noble spirit. This sour smell makes me feel comfortable all over, my spirit is sour, and my bones are corroded and crisp.

It is not necessary for me to speak in such a meeting directly facing the directors, and Lao Liu will take care of everything.I heard that meetings and playing with mobile phones are a perfect match, so I sat in a corner and took out my mobile phone to look at it.

Except for the few days when Xu Yiren was on duty, we had video calls four or five times. He gradually lost his restraint at the beginning, and his appearance in the camera became more and more natural and relaxed. Besides, he probably didn't have me making moves by his side. His facial expression and movements seemed defenseless—unlike when I was at home, he often turned his head abruptly to check whether the distance between the two of us was enough for me to sneak attack.

After being illuminated by the warm yellow light in the bedroom, each screenshot is indescribably quiet and beautiful.Looking at the pictures on my phone, I can recall what he said and did before and after each screenshot, where he glanced, when he was pretending to be fierce, and when he was really teaching me. Seeing him smile, I Can't help but want to laugh.

"Director Li."

The vice president called me without warning.

The accompanying conference service personnel who followed me from China were very professional. It was useless for a second. They immediately switched the screen to the camera in front of me accurately. My happy face and slobbering smirk appeared in front of everyone. On the screen, the cell phone held by the hand that hastily retracted it is also fully exposed.

Old Liu propped his arms on the swivel chair in front of me and caressed the top of his head with few hairs left, and let out an old-fashioned sigh.

Vice President: "Any thoughts?"

The screen cuts to the report mode where I and the vice president are divided into half. The arrow is not on the string, so I have to post: "Actually, I still have a little thought about this matter."

The vice president nodded: "Say."

"The pies of the twelve investment institutions are indeed delicious, but other companies are not idle. I think both hands must be grasped, and both hands must be tough." I was thinking about the reports I had only heard a few times these days. , while drawing cakes, "Money is money, and money comes from wherever it comes from. We can also invest in well-known institutions, as well as investments in other companies. Maybe they don't look so high-end and professional now, but if they are not so high-end and professional because of our This is also a reward. Therefore, the threshold of the amount can be adhered to, but the aspect of qualification can be relatively open, and the power comes from the masses.”

The vice president nodded: "The idea is very good. Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow will be our project investment report. Go ask for money."

I:"?"

Vice President: "Then Director Li will be fully responsible for this matter. President Liu, please cooperate with him in handling related matters."

Old Liu nodded his head, "No problem, leave the rest to me."

The vice president clapped the folder in his hand together: "That's all for today. The meeting will be held after the report is over tomorrow. Everyone, let's get busy and end the meeting."

I:"……"

Lao Liu directly brought his laptop in front of me: "The password is lsb222, you can view the information of the whole company in it, call me at any time if there is special encryption, I will sleep at your door today, no, it is sleeping I'm at the door opposite you, come on, keep an eye on you."

Out of nowhere, I took overtime.From the meeting after five o'clock until five o'clock in the morning the next day, in addition to the large and small investment projects this time, the company's annual business projects and gray income since its establishment, as well as the recent purchase of a few lipsticks and daughters by Lao Liu's wife I know how much the interest classes cost per class.

After putting on a super-dimensional emergency mask, I immediately sent a video request to Xu Yiren, and soon saw him in a white vest sitting peacefully at the table.

Xu Yiren's gentle smile lasted only three seconds, and his expression suddenly turned cold: "Where did you go last night?"

Isn't he nearsighted?Does this also show that I stayed up all night?The mask I put on cost $100 each!The effect should be good, right?I touched my smooth and moist face: "I didn't go anywhere."

Xu Yiren threw the book in his hand on the table: "I'll give you another chance."

"I really didn't go anywhere, where could I go?" I had nowhere to complain, "Why do you say I went out?"

Xu Yiren raised his chin with a serious expression: "You didn't open the quilt on the bed, where did you sleep? On the floor?"

I breathed a sigh of relief, and took Lao Liu's computer to show him: "I didn't have time to sleep last night, our director showed me something, and I was tossing all night, this is not a business trip, I must do some work, I can't just eat right?"

Xu Yiren looked at the computer, then at me, with a complicated expression.For a moment, there seemed to be a flash of guilt on his face, and then he said to me with concern: "We won't talk anymore, you can go to rest."

One look at him is enough to get back to the basics, why do I need to sleep?I hurriedly said: "Hey, wait a minute, what am I sleeping now? I fell asleep as soon as I fell asleep, let me see what book you read just now?"

Xu Yiren put his finger on the table, and tilted the head of the book to show me. It was a book for the exam for deputy in thoracic and cardiothoracic surgery.

Do you think it's strange?Others at his age, either smell of copper, smell of girl's makeup, or smell of rice, oil and salt from living at home, or at least smell of smoke and alcohol of friends, but Xu Yiren's gestures are always strong The smell of books, if you really say what it smells like, it also exudes a faint smell of disinfectant water, leaving the world, alone, strange and strange.

I was fascinated, as long as it was read by him, I would like even comic books.I asked: "How do you read it? Such an old and thick book, there should be a lot of questions, right?"

Xu Yiren rubbed his temples with his slender fingers: "Well, there are more than 7000 questions, and you can almost ask questions when you come back."

One question and one answer is a game we used to play when preparing for the exam and relaxing.

Xu Yiren does not advocate high-intensity surprise review before the exam, and I will not go to the library all night by myself. The two of us usually talk to each other in the dark after the lights are turned off in the dormitory.What I like most is to hear him speak the complicated content in a serious manner according to his own understanding in the dark, from the rustling footsteps in the corridor to the chirping of cicadas and insects downstairs. Yuan, kept chanting until only whispers remained.

At that time, I have a feeling that I have been with him for a lifetime from the prime of life to the gray hair.

"You don't have to wait to go back." The past was vivid in my mind, and I rubbed my hands excitedly. "I can ask questions now. I think I have read this book when you put it on the shelf. Let me think about it..."

"Let's talk about it." Xu Yiren didn't know why he was upset when he said something well, closed the book and pushed it to the side without looking at me, "I'm tired today, so I won't mention it for now."

I hastened to ask warmly: "Brother, where have you been today, so tired?"

"Well, that's right." Xu Yiren regained his spirits, bent down and picked up a ball bag from the ground, and opened it to a basketball with a full signature, "Going to play with senior brother today, I bought it for you. It is the signature of the starting lineup of CBA Liao Province. Isn’t there a basketball hall in the community, you can play when you have time.”

How can anyone play with a signed ball?And the ball looks like it doesn't know which team signed it, Xu Yiren is sometimes very easy to fool.Besides, my brother and I almost went to play in the league back then. I still don’t care about their autographs?

But this is not important, what I care about most is: "Brother, can you still play?"

Xu Yiren didn't answer, his eyes wandered to the basketball, he held it up with three fingers, and then turned it around, and turned the ball against his fingertips.After spinning for more than ten seconds, he caught the ball firmly with both hands, and said, "See who you are comparing with."

He turned like that.I used to think that to Xu Yiren, these were playthings and scourges that would ruin their bones if they touched them, so I didn't mention them in front of him for many years.Today, I was surprised to hear him talk about playing basketball, "Why haven't I seen you play?"

Xu Yiren calmly looked like he was hiding his achievements and fame: "There is nothing to say."

I felt itchy when I saw Xu Yiren, and my hands itched when I saw the ball. I wanted to go up and grab it and take a few shots.I said, "Brother, when I go back, let's fight together?"

Holding the ball with both hands, Xu Yiren twirled the signature on it: "Just go."

No matter how fun playing ball is, how can it be as fun as Xu Yiren?Seeing him sitting firmly on Mount Tai, I can't estimate his level, and I want to play with him even more.I said, "What's the point of fighting by myself? How can I leave you at home? You fight with your brother, don't you fight with me?"

Xu Yiren weighed the ball twice, pressed his palm on the ball, and replied solemnly but relaxedly: "Oh, let's hit it."

He was wearing a close-fitting white cotton vest, a material so absorbent that I had no trouble imagining it turning translucent with sweat on the court.I couldn't help but wonder: "Brother, why do you always wear a vest? My dad only wears a vest under his shirt at that age."

Xu Yiren waved his hand and threw the ball to the side, raised his eyebrows and looked at me: "Aren't you going to wear it?"

I haven't reacted yet: "Huh?"

He crossed his hands and pinched the hem of his clothes, looking at me without saying a word.

I understood in an instant, and applauded vigorously: "Oh oh oh!!!"

But Xu Yiren smiled and let go of his hands: "Wearing a vest is convenient for changing clothes. It costs tens of dollars to wear under the hand washing clothes. In case of emergency surgery with heavy bleeding, it's not a pity to throw it away if it's stained with blood. "

"Tch, I thought you were going to take it off," I was satisfied with the lines outlined by the underwear, and what could the clothes cover?I can restore the original appearance by brain supplementation.But being teased by him like this but not seeing it, who cares what he's doing wearing a vest!Unable to help but be disappointed, I muttered plaintively, "Liar."

Xu Yiren smiled even more happily, and unconsciously rubbed his chest with his palms, as if trying to disperse some kind of emotion that had accumulated there.He sighed deeply and said in a low voice, "Why hasn't it been a month yet."

I looked at my watch, and it wasn't a month, but the time I agreed to meet with the team was approaching.I said: "Brother, I have a report today, it's almost time, I have to change clothes, can't you see?"

Xu Yiren nodded: "Look."

I jumped back, stripped myself naked, turned around a few times, and groaned for a while before changing into formal clothes.I put my mobile phone in front of the mirror in the bathroom, and asked while wearing a tie: "How is it! Does it look good!"

Xu Yiren covered her mouth with her arms and smiled softly: "It's pretty. But, I thought you were asking me if I would like to see the scene of the report."

How do you get cheap and behave well?I didn't take it seriously: "Hey, what's so interesting about the report, don't you think I can't do it?"

Xu Yiren asked, "Is there someone videotaping your scene?"

Me: "Yes, it's public, and I'm a net reporter. But this kind of stuff is recorded and no one puts it on TV. It's too professional, so no one will watch it. It's not suitable for making a program, and it can't be seen on the Internet. I'm afraid of being caught. Three people cut two cuts to make a fraudulent advertisement, and the final report may only report some transaction data or something."

Xu Yiren thought for a while: "Can your colleague record it? If it's convenient, you can record it and send it to me. A short section is fine. Just record it with your phone."

Hearing this, my tie froze.

I couldn't help but turned my head and asked if I heard about my career of more than 20 years behind me.

Going from Xu Yiren's "eyes" to his "eyes" is undoubtedly the shortest distance and longest road I have traveled in the first half of my life.

Once upon a time, I could hardly make him slow down by chattering all the way by his side, and it might not be possible to make him look sideways a few times by doing all kinds of tricks in front of him.Now, Xu Yiren said, can I trouble you to record yourself and show me you.

It was not troublesome at all, and I was so honored that I propped my hands on the sink with all my strength, barely blocking the flood of thousands of thoughts that came behind me.

Xu Yiren couldn't sit still: "If you can record it, record it, if you can't record it, then don't. Why are you crying?"

As soon as I lowered my head, two tears that I haven't seen for a long time fell into the sink.

"Beyond, what's the matter?" Xu Yiren lowered his voice and coaxed, "Who bullied you? Let's stop recording, please, don't cry, be good."

I shook my head: "It's okay, our company has an accompanying professional camera, I'll just ask him to make a copy for me later."

Xu Yiren: "No, don't bother them, what are you supposed to do, don't bother with this. People's job is to take pictures, not to cut videos for others, don't add extra burden to others."

No matter what I say, I have been rough for so many years, without so many tears, I quickly regained control of my emotions and asked, "Then don't you want to see me?"

Seeing that my expression was normal, Xu Yiren leaned back in the swivel chair with relief: "When you come back, I will watch it every day and every night. As long as you are doing well, I... will not miss this look."

I blew my nose hard, and complained quietly to him: "You've been wronged, you deserve it, who told you not to look at me before?"

Xu Yiren's expression was unreasonable: "When did I not see you?"

Me: "For example, in the past, when I was a freshman and sophomore, did you take a good look at me?"

Xu Yiren scoffed slightly: "You know I didn't watch it?"

I want to explain to him that this "seeing" is not the other "seeing": "I'm not just talking about the 'seeing' of the eyes, but the kind of..."

Xu Yiren blocked me back loudly: Xu Yiren blocked me back loudly: "That's the kind of 'look'."
