After being confessed by the paranoid wolf dog

In a well-known studio, under normal circumstances, there are dozens to hundreds of designers.

Because the current studio has been established for a relatively short period of time, and it has always focused on strength, so at least there should be double-digit designers in the studio.

"This is not a small place. There are only a few people in the studio." Leng Mengtai said: "When we had the largest number of people here, there were more than 100 employees. Later, many people gradually left. Mr. Shangfu’s requirements are relatively high, so the staff is limited to about 50 people, and half of the designers can. At that time, it was the busiest, because in addition to receiving external orders, our design office also wanted to come up with our own brand, pattern maker , sample workers, assistants, etc., except for the hard-working designers, everyone is basically omnipotent, and they can help wherever there is a shortage of people.”

Qi Qingmu could imagine that the prosperity and busyness at that time must be in stark contrast to the desertedness of the present.

"Later, several shareholders fell out, and several batches of employees were taken away. They wanted to create additional brands, and the current studio was suddenly empty."

As Leng Mengtai spoke, she was a little choked up.

"Mr. Fu's recruitment conditions will not change. He has always been like this. He is demanding and cautious, so the designers who can stay here are willing."

Qi Qingmu handed her a tissue, Leng Mengtai took it, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said in a hoarse voice: "So whether you came in through the back door or you really came in through your strength, I welcome you .”

She is extremely eager for the studio to return to its heyday. Although she was tired at that time, she was always happy when she came to work.

Qi Qingmu listened, feeling extremely complicated.

In addition to lamenting everyone's love for the studio, they have doubts about their own abilities.

Adults who have stepped into the society know that the brilliant results achieved in school are not worth mentioning in the field of work.

No matter how high his grades are and no matter how good his grades are, he has to start over after starting work.

Leng Mengtai is not a designer, but her feelings for the current studio make Qi Qingmu feel ashamed.

After lunch, Qi Qingmu returned to his design room to take a nap.

His work and rest have been a little unstable due to his recent study and work, and he was not idle thinking about design inspirations when he was in school. Occasionally, he would go to the bar to help out for an hour or two when there were many people.

If I haven't slept for eight hours for three consecutive days, I tend to feel sleepy during the day.

As soon as he entered the door, he caught a glimpse of the cardboard box on the cabinet that he had forgotten all morning, his eyes flickered, he turned around and took a paper knife, and cut the tape that sealed the box.

After opening, there are some fruits inside, which are of various types and carefully packed in gift boxes.

Qi Qingmu was not surprised at all, because the courier list showed that the other party was a fruit supermarket.

As for who sent it...

Qi Qingmu already had a name in his heart, when he picked up the card in the box, the words on it made the corners of his lips curl up.

——They are all fruits for clearing heat and reducing internal heat. Eat some, and throw out those negative thoughts in your head by the way.

The font is flamboyant, very characteristic of its owner.

Qi Qingmu took out his mobile phone, took a photo of the fruit, and sent it to Gu Yu.

Qi Qingmu: Did you send it?

Almost the next second after it was sent out, it was displayed on the opposite side that it was typing.

Gu Yu: Is there any evidence?

Qi Qingmu: The words are beautiful.

Gu Yu: Oh, that’s what I gave you.

Qi Qingmu: I lied to you.

Gu Yu: ...Playing with me?

Qi Qingmu couldn't help laughing out loud.

The phone vibrated, Qi Qingmu looked down, and the caller ID was Gu Yu.

Qi Qingmu connected the phone while walking to the French window.

"Seeing that you didn't answer, you must be laughing." A familiar voice came from the phone, Gu Yu seemed to be in a very empty place, Qi Qingmu felt that he heard a little echo.

"Well, I did laugh." He didn't deny it, and said directly, "Are you outside?"

"Why did you ask so?"

"I feel that there is an echo. If you are busy, just hang up and chat on WeChat."

"Oh..." Gu Yu prolonged the ending, as if deliberately teasing Qi Qingmu: "There is an echo because I am in the bathroom."

After the words fell, Qi Qingmu heard the sound of water, as if someone picked it up on purpose and threw it into the pool again.

He cleared his throat in embarrassment, and said, "Then you take a bath, I'll hang up."

"Wait." Gu Yu stopped him, "It's boring to take a bath by myself, otherwise you can chat with me."

"What should I talk to you about when you take a shower?" Qi Qingmu was ready to hang up the phone, "I'm going to take a lunch break."

The other side scolded softly, "It's not when you made a deal with me, right? Throw it away when you're done using it, Qi Qingmu, you're really good at it."

It's this rhetoric again...

Qi Qingmu pinched the center of his brows with some headaches, and said, "Then what do you want to talk about?"

"Then let's talk... When will you be fired?"

This topic is very unlucky for Qi Qingmu who is a little confused now.

"Change the subject." Qi Qingmu's voice was flat, "Besides, why do you think I will be fired?"

"It's not easy." Gu Yu laughed, even if he couldn't see him, Qi Qingmu's smirk could still appear in his mind, "You feel inferior."

Qi Qingmu: "..."

Gu Yu: "I'm right, right? It's fine if you get fired, so you can spend time with my contract boyfriend."

Before hanging up the phone, Qi Qingmu only said something boring.

But it was undeniable that he was a little bit annoyed.

Feeling that he has never shown his true emotions, but Gu Yu can always see him thoroughly, even if the two haven't seen each other for a week.

Contract boyfriend is a new term. Not long after hanging up the phone, Gu Yu sent a picture. The picture is a screenshot of the chat interface between the two. Qi Qingmu's name on the top was changed to 'contract boyfriend'.

Qi Qingmu found a boring emoji and sent it.

That night, at the boiling point bar, Gu Yu sat down in front of the bar that Qi Qingmu was in charge of.

"Spirits."

Qi Qingmu gave him a glass of iced Coke.

Holding it in his hand, Gu Yu raised his eyebrows with a half-smile, "I came to the bar to drink."

"Have a cup of Coke and go home early." Qi Qingmu said without raising his head.

Gu Yu leaned forward with great interest, propped his arms on the bar, his eyes sparkled with excitement, "Are you still angry about what happened at noon?"

"Am I that naive?" Qi Qingmu asked back.

Gu Yu shrugged, "No, you are the most mature, brother."

Qi Qingmu almost threw the wine glass in his hand because of the sound.

The two 'flirted' as if no one else was around, and Guo Jin, a bystander, said he was stuffed with dog food.

"I didn't say, sister-in-law... Brother Qi, don't spoil my brother Yu, let him drink if he wants to drink, he can drink very well."

If the title of 'brother' is to jump left and right on Qi Qingmu's bottom line of shame, then the uncalled 'little sister-in-law' makes him speechless.

And where did the phrase 'used to' come from?He obviously didn't want Gu Yu to cause trouble, so he gave him a cup of Coke and asked him to go home quickly.

"You can also drink Coke." Qi Qingmu poured Guo Jinye a glass of Coke with a smile on his face, "Go home early after drinking."

Guo Jin: "..." I understand, I think he is here as a light bulb!

Guo Jin was thick-skinned and not discouraged, he said with a smile: "Brother Qi, will you have a party with us the night after tomorrow?"

After finishing the words, Gu Yu glanced at him lazily, but didn't say anything.

Qi Qingmu took time to return to him, "I won't go, you guys have fun."

Guo Jin: "Don't, you don't even know what a party is, why are you rejecting it so readily?"

"I don't want to go." Qi Qingmu said, "I'm a little busy."

Guo Jin had already figured out Qi Qingmu's life situation from Gu Yu. He said, "It's not tomorrow, it's Monday night the day after tomorrow. It doesn't matter if you have evening class, come after evening class."

The other party was so enthusiastic, Qi Qingmu was a little overwhelmed, "Why do you have to go?"

"Because..." Guo Jin was speechless for a moment, his eyes fell on the silent Gu Yu, and he had an idea in an instant, "Because many people came that day, aren't you afraid that brother Yu will be seduced by some goblin?"

Hearing this, Qi Qingmu couldn't help shaking his head and laughing out loud.

Just as he was about to reply to Guo Jin when he had settled down, he bumped into a pair of deep eyes in the next second.

Gu Yu stared at him closely, with burning eyes, as if he cared about Qi Qingmu's answer, and seemed to remind him not to forget their current relationship.

Qi Qingmu pursed her lips, paused for a few seconds, and looked back at Gu Yu calmly.

"Do you want me to go?"

Throw the hot potato back again.

Gu Yu's eyes flickered slightly, as if there were flames jumping, he stuck out his tongue and licked his lips, and said in a hoarse voice, "You can do whatever you want."

But don't start with this action, it's a little arrogant.

Qi Qingmu pondered for a moment, and said: "Then wait for my news that day. If I have time, I will tell you in advance, and then you can tell me the meeting place."

In fact, there are not many classes on Monday, and after three o'clock in the afternoon, I am basically free.Qi Qingmu said this just to deal with emergencies. If something more urgent than the party arises, then he will naturally not attend.

Gu Yu was obviously satisfied with this answer, and the obvious realization was that he took two sips of Coke and easily turned his back on the matter of insisting on drinking.

Guo Jin tsk-tsk and shook his head.

——The color makes the mind faint!

After repaying Shujing's money and making up for one month's treatment expenses, the little savings that Qi Qingmu had just saved once again bottomed out.

He has always known that money is not easy to save.

He also knows that the saying that spending money is like running water is not an exaggeration.

Now that Qi Qingmu is working part-time while practicing, the channels for making money have suddenly decreased, so he has become more and more frugal in terms of life.

On Monday, a design copy he handed in a long time ago was published by the magazine, and his mentor paid him for the manuscript, which was almost a week's food expenses.

Looking at the little balance left in Kali, Qi Qingmu thought of the party that Guo Jin mentioned.

Maybe... for dinner?

In the afternoon, I found time to send a text message to Gu Yu, and it took a long time to receive a reply from the other party.

Gu Yu: At six in the evening, wait for me at the gate.

Qi Qingmu paused, and replied: I can go by myself.

Gu Yu: Without it, I can't start the game.

Qi Qingmu: Can it be earlier? I want to be back before nine o'clock.

The other side was silent for a long time.

Gu Yu: You don't have evening classes, but I do.

Qi Qingmu: ... Cough, see you at six.

The screen darkened, reflecting Qi Qingmu's crooked eyebrows and the small curve of his mouth.

The author has something to say:

Qi Qingmu: Pfft.

Gu Yu: ...
