because i'm pretty

Li Yikai's air pressure has been a little low recently, but since there is no difference between his daily low air pressure and high air pressure, no one noticed.

Qin Xiaoen was very pleased to hear the news that Yuan Zhiming had joined the job. When Zoe came to clean up the work place, he even went to ask Li Yikai: "Sit on your side or mine?"

Li Yikai worked at his desk without raising his head: "Take it with you, don't throw it to me."

Qin Xiaoen: "Oh, then it's opposite me."

Li Yikai looked up, there were two rows of empty tables between him and Qin Xiaoen, sitting opposite Qin Xiaoen, which meant that he could see the back of Yuan Zhiming's head when he looked up.

He pursed his mouth and didn't make a sound, but he planned to buy a higher bookshelf to put in front of him.

The KL group maintains around 10 people daily, but after removing the interns who are on business trips, those on maternity leave, and the interns who go back to defend themselves, the entire office area suddenly looks very empty.

Li Yikai went downstairs to buy coffee, and asked Sun Shanshan to report the situation on WeChat. The other party didn't reply, and she might be in a meeting.

He clicked on a few more work group chats. There was nothing to deal with, and the private WeChat notification was even more lonely. Everyone knew that it was inconvenient to disturb him when he was working.

It felt like taking a long nap and waking up in an empty room with no missed calls or texts, and the world had once again put him in a vacuum.

This weightless feeling didn't last long, when I met Feng Xin while waiting for the elevator.The other party asked him about Lao Liu's cooperation with him.

Li Yikai said it was good, and Feng Xin continued to pretend to be confused: "Then you have two directions for this year's plan. If Lao Liu is selected, let him stay in your team and continue?"

Thinking about it would also explode, Li Yikai said: "It's not like you don't know..."

Feng Xin waved his hands carelessly: "How long has he and Qin Xiaoen had that conflict."

Li Yikai made excuses casually: "The new design will come tomorrow, and I'm too busy."

That's right, I just remembered that Yuan Zhiming is coming tomorrow.

That afternoon was unusually calm. When Li Yikai saw the news about Sun Shanshan, he didn't show any fluctuations on the surface. He just asked Qin Xiaoen to have dinner together.

The next morning, Yuan Zhiming arrived at the company early to report, and the entire office area was empty.

Zoe smiled awkwardly and said, "It must be that everyone worked overtime too late yesterday, and some colleagues were on a business trip."

Yuan Zhiming quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

His workstation is by the window, facing Qin Xiaoen, but the huge computer screen blocks a lot of sight; on the other side is a narrow aisle, and the two tables on the side of the aisle seem to be empty. I heard from Zoe that one is on maternity leave. Gui's colleagues, another position is reserved for interns.

The two rows of tables here are full of creativity, and there are two rows of tables behind Yuan Zhiming, sitting on project managers and planners, as well as Li Yikai, the boss of this group—his position is easy to identify, at a glance, Laptops, books, and printed documents are all neatly placed parallel to the edge of the desktop, and even the water glasses are placed exactly in the center of the circle and placed on the coasters.

Yuan Zhiming turned his head, and silently arranged his notebook and pen, only to realize that he didn't bring a water glass.

So he went downstairs to the convenience store to buy water. Before he opened the door with two bottles of iced soda in his arms, a figure with the word "elite" written all over his body appeared in front of him. Seeing him, Yuan Zhiming felt that sooner or later he would not be able to hide, so he followed behind Li Yikai without hesitation, trying to minimize his presence.

He heard the other party call in a cold tone, and he was glad that he was not late this time.

There were very few people waiting for the elevator, but Li Yikai focused on dealing with the phone and didn't notice the people around him.

He didn't know what he said on the other end of the phone, and his tone was even colder: "I know, but I didn't agree to it when I wasn't there. I can't guarantee the execution effect. Whoever guarantees it will find someone."

Yuan Zhiming saw Li Yikai press the volume button on the phone, then answered twice casually, and hung up the phone.

When the elevator arrived, Yuan Zhiming followed him in, but the people behind him were too quiet and silent, causing Li Yikai to turn around and see him, as if he was startled, and the arrogance all over his body just now vented out.

The two looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

Such a meeting made the atmosphere between the two suddenly relaxed, and Yuan Zhiming handed him a bottle of soda in his hand: "You look very angry."

Li Yikai smiled helplessly, took a few sips of water, and then looked at Yuan Zhiming: "Has it been reported?"

"En", Yuan Zhiming nodded.

So they tacitly agreed not to be unhappy a few days earlier, Li Yikai got out of the elevator and went to answer the phone, and he was hardly seen all morning.

Yuan Zhiming walked back to his work station, met the planner JOJO and the copywriter Zhong Youyun, and once again played the buff he was fed——getting an orange and a pack of potato chips.

On the opposite side, his direct leader, Qin Xiaoen, never showed up. Yuan Zhiming could only slowly install the software, and then saw himself being pulled into various WeChat group chats.

The first is Mujia’s company group. After self-introduction, there was a wave of warm copy-paste welcome; the other is the KL group, the group leader is Li Yikai, the group leader is cool and silent, but the others are real Enthusiastic, talking about where to have a welcome meal at noon.

Soon, he was pulled into the third group.Named "Caring for Brother Kevin", Yuan Zhiming opened up detailed information in confusion - there is no Kevin in the group members.

Presumably this is the so-called workplace culture-joining a leaderless WeChat group is the first step to becoming a team member.

Sun Shanshan, the group leader, said: "The first and only rule of this group is that the boss must not discover the existence of this group."

Tomorrow Star replied with a "salute salute" emoji.

Sun Shanshan asked, "How is brother Kevin doing today?"

JOJO said: "You screwed up your proposal? Boss looks very bad"

There was an inexplicable silence for a while, and Sun Shanshan clicked on Qin Xiaoen first: "@ShawnQin teacher should know it? Can I say it?"

Qin Xiaoen replied: "I know"

So Sun Shanshan let herself go and sent one message after another——

"This proposal is simply, if it is said to be smashed, it will be smashed, and if it is not smashed, it will not be smashed."

she says:

"First of all, let's not mention how Lao Liu stole the limelight yesterday."

"The point is, we are going in two directions, but you know the customer, and you know the customer DS even better. After reading the two proposals, I will ask you on the spot if you can combine them into one!"

"Of course we said no, but Lao Liu, who was too late to say it, immediately agreed, and then quickly flattered and chatted with the client. We didn't have the slightest chance to intervene!"

"In the end, the client basically decided that Lao Liu was their destined creative master, and said that they would talk to the boss about direction adjustment the next day."

Almost at the same time, the others said, "Why did he agree?"

……

Yuan Zhiming was confused about this client and that brand, but he probably understood why Li Yikai looked particularly anxious today.

Maybe he prepared two paintings in black and color, but the other party asked him to paint a colorful black.

He took out his iPad idly and drew a solid black circle, with a circle of colorful light outside, like a black hole emitting colorful light.

After a while, JOJO came over and asked him to have dinner together.

In the restaurant box, Sun Shanshan and Daqiao came in with their suitcases. Qin Xiaoen, who hadn't shown up all this time, also came late, except for the person in the main seat.

Everyone took this opportunity to open up the conversation again. When they were filled with righteous indignation again, Sun Shanshan sat next to Yuan Zhiming and kindly gave him the ins and outs of science.

While chatting, someone suddenly asked: "Isn't the boss very difficult to be a human being? He said he would give two directions, but now he can't take it back..."

After a moment of silent sighing, Qin Xiaoen said: "He has a way."

Yuan Zhiming looked up and found the other party's demeanor and tone very convincing.

Sun Shanshan said from the side: "Yes, the boss must have a way."

"I saw him and Mr. Feng going to the conference room..."

"Oh, don't worry, the boss will definitely not agree to such an unreasonable request..."

So everyone became emotional again, guessing how Li Yikai would solve the difficulty. Yuan Zhiming felt a diffuse sense of security in such a commotion, and he relaxed and leaned on the back of the chair.

He heard Daqiao whispering: "Mr. Qin, you didn't get angry with the boss about this, did you? He actually blocked the gun for me, and in order to prevent you from getting angry, he even worked overtime to help me change the picture."

Qin Xiaoen said: "At first I was angry that he didn't tell me, but later I thought forget it, Li Yikai is such a person."

"Yeah," Ohashi nodded, "He is like this."

how is itYuan Zhiming wanted to join this chat and ask a question, but when the door of the box opened, that person was standing at the door.

The chirping voice was interrupted for a moment, and then quickly turned into greetings of "Boss is waiting for you!" "Sit here" "What do you want to add?"

Li Yikai was hugged and sat next to Qin Xiaoen, as if the parents were seated and the eagle was returning to its nest.

Sun Shanshan said: "Then we are all together, let the boss speak."

Li Yikai had been talking all morning, and now he just wanted to drink another glass of iced soda water. He raised his head and looked at Yuan Zhiming, and said a belated and perhaps insincere sentence: "Welcome Yuan Zhiming to join us."

Yuan Zhiming clinked glasses with everyone, but said from the bottom of his heart: "I am also very happy to join you."
