In the noisy private room, Xiao Yu was holding a microphone and shouting one after another, while Chang Qin was surrounded by a crowd, pouring wine one after another.

"Director Chang, have another glass." The project manager Zhou Yong refilled the red wine glass in his hand, and handed it to Chang Qin with a smile.

"I can't drink any more." He kept waving his hands, his face was reddish, and his sanity was only half clear.

"This glass must be drunk." Zhou Yong made a stern face, "Director Chang's project has achieved such a great success this time, and our team will have to rely on Director Chang to be proud." After finishing speaking, he handed the wine glass to Chang Qin again.

"Yes, yes, yes!" The others echoed.

A year ago, Chang Qin, as the design director, personally led and designed the project of renovating the old factory building into a studio. This was the first time he presided over the design and construction since he entered the industry. He has an avant-garde thinking mode. After the project was completed, the studio was widely acclaimed in the industry for its unique shape and functions, and the "Dawn" design company he worked in also followed the chickens and dogs to heaven, from the executive president to ordinary employees. Then he raised his eyebrows and exhaled.Tonight's celebration banquet is for Chang Qin.

"Let me tell you." Zhou Yong secretly whispered into Chang Qin's ear, and said mysteriously, "Mr. The village project should also be entrusted to you."

"What?" Chang Qin tried to open his eyes wide in his drunkenness, "Historical and Cultural Village? That is the company's key project this year, how could Mr. Jiang entrust it to me."

"How is it impossible!" Zhou Yong pushed his arm and continued in a low voice, "It was originally impossible. According to common sense, the top priority of the company's projects fell on the head of Director Xu, but it is different now. You, director general, have become famous in one fell swoop."

Chang Qin turned his head away, seeing the corner of the other party's mouth raised cheerfully, he no longer had any doubts, raised his wine glass to touch him, and fought to the end boldly.

There was a burst of cheers all around.

After this drink, Chang Qin completely lost his mind and couldn't even remember how he got home that night.

The next day, Chang Qin was woken up by a loud phone call. He poked his head out of the bed and fumbled on the bedside table for a while before finding his phone. He grabbed it and saw that it was the big boss, Mr. Jiang. In the blink of an eye, it's past eleven o'clock!

Chang Qin hurriedly sat up on the bed, took a few breaths, and picked up the phone. Because of the special nature of the designer's profession, he was busy all night and slept until eleven or twelve o'clock in the morning before going to the company. Instead of paying attention to Chang Qin's unexcused absenteeism, he told him to come to the office at two o'clock in the afternoon with a brisk tone to discuss matters.

Guessing it was because of the historical and cultural village, Chang Qin hung up the phone. Thinking of what Zhou Yong said before he fell into a coma yesterday, he couldn't help but smile. A piece of land was approved in a provincial city to build a cultural park with the theme of historical sites and to promote ancient Chinese culture. This is a big piece of fat. If it is done well, not only will the company be proud, but the designer will also become famous in one fell swoop. If it fails, there will be government support behind it, so you are not afraid of the company's defection. Staring at it, thinking that it must be a fantasy, that is to say, such a big project is only allowed to succeed and not to fail. Thinking of this, he was so sleepy that he ran early without a trace. Chang Qin hurriedly got up to wash, picked up the The car keys went straight to the company.

Knocking on the door of the chairman's office, Mr. Jiang, who was sitting behind the desk, was still smiling. This time, Chang Qin had earned enough face for the company. Mr. Jiang always smiled when he saw him for several days.After the secretary brought two cups of green tea from outside, Mr. Jiang cut to the chase and said, "This year's cross-strait four-region architectural design award entry project, the company plans to use your old factory building to renovate the studio project to participate in the award. Go back and prepare. Submit the materials to my secretary before Friday. Your project this time has been praised by many parties in the industry. There is no doubt that you will win the award, but whether you can win the first prize depends on the preferences of the jury. I will talk more with the leaders of the architectural association in the past six months Get in touch with us and try to earn some word of mouth for you."

Chang Qin hurriedly said humbly: "Thank you, Mr. Jiang. I am still young, and I don't have extravagant pursuit of fame and fortune. As long as everyone can affirm my achievements, I will be satisfied."

Mr. Jiang laughed and said: "I know you have always been low-key, but young people should always strive for what they deserve. This is how young people look. This is also the purpose of my coming to you today. Next month , the company's historical and cultural village project is about to start, you know that this project is the top priority for the company, the board of directors decided to hand over this project to your team, and ordered you to be the main case designer and take full charge design."

Although Chang Qin knew the news by heart, he still had a look of surprise on his face, "Thank you directors for their love for me, but I don't know enough about myself, why don't I leave it to Director Xu as usual."

Mr. Jiang waved his hand: "In terms of resources, Director Xu is indeed much more experienced than you. Of course, it is safest to entrust the project to him. The company decided to take the opportunity of the cultural village to provide corresponding service facilities and set aside a few pieces of land around it to build history-themed buildings. In addition, the government intends to build this into a large-scale film and television base. When you become the director, you will really become famous. Since the company chooses to innovate, it should first innovate in designers, otherwise it will always be clichéd. The company should not develop, hahaha! As for Designer Xu, you don’t have to worry, the board of directors will naturally entrust him with projects.”

Chang Qin nodded, but his heart became more and more uneasy. Since the company recognized his ability, it was a good thing, but Xu Yiran was his senior and even his teacher. He stole the limelight this time, so he felt uneasy.Chang Qin has been working in the industry for many years, and he is very aware of the advantages and disadvantages in interpersonal communication. If he is proud and complacent because of this, he is not far from hiccups.

"Thank you Mr. Jiang, I will work hard." Chang Qin agreed.

"Come on!" Mr. Jiang patted him on the shoulder with a smile, "Come early tomorrow, and I have a meeting with the lawyer and the manager of the engineering department at nine o'clock in the morning. This time, the company has hired a new lawyer, and the planning before construction and the allocation of the site need to be completed. He cooperated to complete it, and I hope you can cooperate smoothly.”

"What?" Chang Qin asked casually, "Lawyer Fang isn't with us anymore?"

"Thanks to you, the transformation of the old factory has been well received, and lawyer Fang has also risen with the tide, and the lawyer's fee has increased several times." Mr. Jiang said with a smile, "However, the termination of the contract with him this time is not because of his soaring social status, but because There is a reason that the historical and cultural village project involves the history of our country, and the lawyer who cooperated with us this time is a professor of history on the sidelines, and it is very appropriate to ask him to advise us."

"What kind of person is so powerful, a lawyer and a professor!" Chang Qin exclaimed.

"When we meet tomorrow, you will know."

Chang Qin looked at Mr. Jiang's mysterious face, and thought that the other party was an extremely powerful big shot, and he could only express his feelings without words, but when he met at the conference table the next day, he was surprised and speechless Come.

What surprised Chang Qin was not only the incredibly young barrister appointed by the company, but also because he had met this person before.

That was four years ago, not long after Chang Qin started working. As a school grass Chang Qin who has been sought after by thousands of people since elementary school, the most indispensable thing around him is girls. His girlfriend at that time was called Xie Rong'er, because of her nickname It is somewhat similar to Huang Rong in Jin Yong's works, so Chang Qin is always called "Guo Daxia" by the friends around him.

At that time, Chang Qin had just joined the company and had to work overtime almost every night. When he was halfway through the overtime, Xie Ronger called him and asked him to come over, and Chang Qin hurried away after finishing the work at hand.As soon as I entered the box, I found that the inside was very lively. Apart from a few familiar faces, there was also a stranger who had never seen him before. He was surrounded by Xie Ronger and his sisters. His face was unusually beautiful. The bridge of the nose is straight, the thin lips are slightly pursed, and the eyebrows and eyes are curved like a crescent moon. Even Chang Qin, who has never been greedy for masculinity, can't help but linger on that fair face for a moment, but the next second, he frowned Withdrawing his gaze——for Chang Qin, who never dresses more than two colors from head to toe, the man in front of him is really intoxicated: light yellow casual shirt, two inexplicable amber calico on the shoulders, The lower body is matched with a pair of khaki overalls, and the abrupt patches on the trousers... really, I can't bear to look directly at it.

Seeing Chang Qin, Xie Ronger clung to his side like a gust of wind, and said with a smile, "Chang Qin, are you here?"

"Why is it so lively? Who is this person?" Chang Qin asked curiously.

Xie Ronger hurriedly introduced: "This is Xi Fu's younger brother, who just came back from abroad." Xi Fu is Xie Ronger's best friend. Well, as long as they are on vacation, they will definitely stick together. Xi Fu is really straightforward, but Xie Ronger is Xiaojiabiyu. The two have complementary personalities. They have known each other for more than ten years and have never quarreled, which is really rare in the friendship of girls.

"Oh." Chang Qin nodded, and couldn't help but look at the young man a few more times, but the other party didn't notice that there was an extra person in the room at this time, and just kept holding Xi Fu's boyfriend Zeng Mo's hand and shaking it from side to side , pleadingly: "Good brother-in-law, just help me!"

"No!" Zeng Mo broke free from his hand, "The last time I accompanied you to see your father, I was scolded bloody, and if you expect me to pretend to be your boyfriend, you will die. Besides, you Dad has already exposed me, how can I continue to lie."

"No, no, no, I'm prepared this time, it won't be the same as last time." Xi Fu's younger brother held Zeng Mo's hand again, with a bright light in his eyes.

Chang Qin's attention stayed on the word "boyfriend", and he couldn't help being dumbfounded for a while. Could it be that Xi Fu, the younger brother of the overseas returnee, is...

Before he was allowed to think about it, Zeng Mo suddenly spotted him, stretched out his hand and pulled Chang Qin vigorously. Chang Qin staggered and almost fell on the younger brother of the returnee. Fortunately, the latter pushed him quickly, and Chang Qin borrowed Li stood up straight, straightened his shirt, and gave Zeng Mo a good look.But Zeng Mo didn't pay attention, and still grabbed Chang Qin's arm and said to the overseas returnee brother: "Why don't you let Guo Daxia go, he is suitable!"

Before Chang Qin could react, he became the focus of the whole room. He froze there, and a sense of ominous premonition suddenly surged in his heart. Sure enough, the next second, Xi Fu, who always watched the excitement and didn't think it was a big deal, clapped his hands Praise: "That's a good idea, I'm in favor of it!"

"I agree too! I think Chang Qin is more suitable than Zeng Mo." Xie Ronger's other girlfriend Yu Xuan also booed.

"Don't tell me, Guo Daxia's thick eyebrows and big eyes are just right for my younger brother's 'phoenix eyes'. They really have a 'cp feeling' standing together. Zeng Mo, get up quickly, and don't spoil the beauty of the picture." Xi Fu said Push Zeng Mo aside.

Hearing what his sister said, the handsome returnee brother couldn't help turning his head to look at Chang Qin. His eyes, which were already bent into crescent moons, added a bit of tenderness. Chang Qin blushed inexplicably when he saw it. He hurriedly avoided the scorching person. She rubbed her nose and said, "Sister Xi, what are you talking about?" In fact, Xi Fu is younger than Chang Qin, but older than Xie Ronger by several months. Coupled with her hot-tempered personality, Chang Qin followed Xie Ronger's name. She, sister Xi, is also very useful to Xi Fu, and she never refuses anyone who comes.

"It's like this." Xi Fu explained with a smile, "My younger brother fell in love with a male classmate in England, and wanted to persuade my father to let them date, but he was afraid of scaring my father, so he wanted to test the waters with someone first. I took Zeng Mo away this time, and my father taught me a lesson, so Zeng Mo ignored me for three days." As he spoke, he couldn't help but glared at Zeng Mo, who turned his head away angrily, "In two days my brother will die. I'm going back to England, so he wants to drag Zeng Mo to meet my father, hoping that the old man can accept the fact that his son is gay, sexual, and gay." After the last few words, Xi Fu dragged on for a long time, and enclosed Sighing a few times, he looked at his younger brother with hatred.

The returnee brother didn't take it seriously, as if he didn't understand the meaning of Xi Fu's words at all, he just took Chang Qin's hand, and said as if he was flattering Zeng Mo just now: "Your name is Guo Daxia?" He couldn't help frowning, "" What a strange name."

Chang Qin was sweating, and hurriedly broke free from his hand: "My name is Chang Qin, ordinary Chang, hand-picked Qin."

"Chang Qin." The returnee brother nodded and repeated, with the corners of his mouth raised, "This name is really nice, much better than Guo Daxia!"

"How about Guo Daxia, your lord has a lot, so just help my younger brother and Zeng Mo." Xi Fu looked at him maliciously, and then glanced at Xie Ronger, "Of course, this matter has to be done first. Seek your girlfriend's opinion, don't you, Rong'er?"

Xie Rong'er on the other end was already in a ball of joy, she couldn't straighten her waist, she just waved her hands repeatedly and said, "I have no objection, of course I have no objection, Chang Qin, you can borrow it as you like, and order it as you like."

"Xie Rong'er is righteous!" Xi Fu and Yu Xuan gave a high five.

Chang Qin glared at the "pig teammate" Xie Ronger angrily, and gritted his teeth: "No, I don't understand, since you want your uncle to accept that your son is gay, why didn't you just bring that classmate from England home, they are the real ones Husband, why do you have to pull an outsider!"

"You are stupid!" Xi Fu tapped him on the head, "He lives in England, where the sky is high and the road is far away, how did he come here? Besides, my brother is just testing the waters, and has no plans to introduce anyone to my father."

Chang Qin sweated even more. If you want to test your relationship, you should protect the wife first and pull an innocent person on your back. Do you think I'm a fool?Thinking of this, he hurriedly waved his hands: "I'm sorry, I don't have the intention to play with you." Then he turned his head and greeted Xie Rong'er: "Rong'er, let's go first, I have to go back to the company to work overtime after I send you home. "

Seeing this, Xi Fu hurriedly grabbed him: "Guo Daxia, why are you so dishonest? It's rare for me to ask you once. You don't even want to do such a small favor. You still want to marry our family's Rong'er in the future, but there is no way." !"

Zeng Mo, who had been hiding in the corner, also came over and tugged at Chang Qin's sleeve: "Brother, just help me once you feel wronged, or you will have to sacrifice me again. If I don't agree, Xi Fu will have to follow me." Break up, if I agree, Xi Fu's father will have to force us to break up, you just have the heart to watch the brothers attack from both sides, riding a tiger is hard to get off." He wiped the corners of his eyes symbolically.

Chang Qin was really in a dilemma at this time, 1 regrets appeared here, and the overseas returnee brother heard that Zhong Zhong held his hand firmly, and Chang Qin looked at the wrinkled cuffs distressedly.

Xie Rong'er endured a smile and came forward to persuade him: "Chang Qin, look at how pitiful Brother Zeng is, so you can just treat him as a good person. I don't mind it anymore. Why are you still talking nonsense?"

Chang Qin stared blankly at her, his reddened eyes were about to bleed, and he had already greeted his "sell-in" girlfriend's eight-generation ancestors in his heart, but there was a fake smile on his face: "Okay, I will help you this time." Just once, it's you! Owe! Me! " He gritted his teeth and spat out the last few words to Xie Ronger.

Xie Rong'er turned a blind eye and patted the returnee's younger brother on the shoulder: "Brother, I will leave my boyfriend to you, take good care of him for me!"

The returnee brother let go of Chang Qin's hand and hugged his shoulder with such force that Chang Qin couldn't help throbbing pain: "Good buddy, stand up for justice!"

Chang Qin's body froze inexplicably, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time. The shoulders held by the returned brother's head were scorching like gold, and the lingering warmth did not dissipate for a long time.
