because i'm pretty

"I hope you won't be wasted by any irrelevant things," Lucifer said leisurely.

Yuan Zhiming sighed: "But I have become a social animal, you should worry about this."

"NONONO," Lucifer peeled open a hot dog, "those are just a waste of time, but love wastes your heart."

"Okay, I see." Yuan Zhiming clapped his hands, gathered the wrapping paper into a ball and arranged them on the tray. Because of Li Yikai's sudden departure, they each had two hot dogs, and felt their stomachs were full at this moment.

"Right now, all the remaining space in my heart is reserved for one thing, the NYX Art Show."

Lucifer is very pleased. NYX is one of the most valuable art exhibitions in the world. It is held every five years. He traveled all the way back to Jinghai just to cooperate with Yuan Zhiming in this year's competition—"I will supervise you, and I will not let you That Kevin ruined our great artistic creation and affected the birth of two champions."

"Champion, can you stop targeting Kevin?" Yuan Zhiming said, "He didn't do anything."

"What will he do, not now, but in the future", Lucifer took out a compass from nowhere and slowly closed his eyes.

"Because I don't want to do anything at the moment," Li Yikai said as he walked, "so it makes me feel unnatural for him to ask like that."

Zhao Kaisi shook his head blankly: "I don't understand, if you get along as naturally as ordinary friends, how can he know what you mean?"

Li Yikai said confidently: "Instead of letting him know what I mean, it's better to let him be interested in me first, otherwise he will only be like Zhou Xing, which is very boring."

Zhao Kaisi had no right to speak between the two extreme views of feelings, so he had to divert the topic: "What happened just now? That eldest sister."

"Oh, customers of DS," Li Yikai said, "Last week I pushed their cooperation for next year to other groups."

"Just because of this? Talking so scary?" Zhao Kaisi said with lingering fear.

Li Yikai said: "It should have caused her a lot of trouble. This kind of foreign company's replacement of the supplier team has to be reported to the headquarters, which will also affect her face. But it's good to be able to speak like this in person, it's better than sneering behind the scenes. many."

Zhao Kaisi has never seen this kind of posture: "Your profession is really scary, she even said that she will block you."

"To each other," Li Yikai smiled, "Don't you often block people in this business?"

"It won't be really blocked, right?" Zhao Kaisi was a little confused: "Is she a high rank?"

Li Yikai thought for a while and nodded: "Very high, anyway, the company she works in will not cooperate with me anymore."

When the two walked to the parking lot, Li Yikai pressed the remote control, and the silver-gray car turned on the lights. Zhao Kai wanted to say something happy, such as telling him that Yuan Zhiming seemed very worried about him just now.

But before he had time to speak, a black commercial vehicle drove up in front, and a gust of wind blew his words back.

Li Yikai staggered to let the car pass first, and was about to continue walking towards his own car, when the commercial vehicle behind him suddenly stopped.

There was a sound of the car door, and a voice asked from behind: "Hello, is this Mr. Kevin?"

The two people here turned around in unison, Zhao Kaisi squinted his eyes, and saw the appearance of a high-end businessman in a suit and leather shoes and gold-rimmed glasses, and asked in a low voice, "Could it be another client you offended?"

Li Yikai confirmed that he did not know the other party: "I am. Excuse me..."

"Kevin, it's really you!" A male voice with a Hong Kong and Taiwan accent came.

The man in the suit immediately held the car door, and a man of modest stature and elegant demeanor came out to welcome him.

He has neat black hair and wears DS brand casual clothes. He is so energetic that he can't tell his specific age. After getting off the car, he strode towards Li Yikai without paying attention to the people behind him.

Li Yikai reacted immediately, and went forward to greet the other party's outstretched hand: "Mr. Huang."

Mr. Huang shook his hand vigorously: "I was in the car just now, and I said that this young man looked familiar, so I asked them to come down and ask, but I didn't expect it was really you. It seems that I have a good memory."

Li Yikai replied with a smile: "Thank you for remembering."

"Of course, I have always been very impressed with you." Mr. Huang withdrew his hand and looked at him from top to bottom: "Are you still in that company? Uh...?"

"Mu Jia," Li Yikai said, "I'm still here."

Mr. Huang said with some regret: "I heard that your company has been cooperating with China, but I was transferred to the headquarters later, and I have no chance to see your new ideas again."

Li Yikai smiled restrainedly, not going to explain too much.

Beside the commercial vehicle, a man in a suit who seemed to be Mr. Huang's assistant answered a phone call, walked over and said softly, "Sheng Huang, the person in charge of the China region will come down immediately."

"Okay", Mr. Huang turned sideways, reached out and patted Li Yikai's back: "You should all know each other, see you again if you are not in a hurry."

Li Yikai guessed who was coming: "Mr. Huang, I..."

"Hello, Mr. Huang, I'm Olivia, the senior director of the marketing department in China. I didn't know that you came here in person. Our general manager got the news and is also on the way."

A familiar female voice sounded, and Olivia walked quickly on high heels. Because she was too eager, she didn't notice Li Yikai's existence for a while.

The news she got before was that the vice president of marketing in the Asia-Pacific region was visiting the store, but she just learned that the person who came was the newly appointed global vice president and managing director of the Asia-Pacific region.

"Hello Olivia, it's okay, don't be nervous," Mr. Huang said with a smile, "I also made a temporary decision this morning. I just bought a plane ticket from Singapore. I am the one who caused you trouble."

"No trouble, why bother? You are welcome to guide the work," Olivia said again and again, knowing in her heart that this was a sudden attack by the new officials, just to catch them off guard.

After exchanging pleasantries, she glanced at the others to say hello one by one, only to suddenly realize that the person standing next to her was actually Li Yikai.

In an instant, there were countless guesses in my heart - how did they know each other?Have you seen the original supplier bidding?Did Li Yikai tell Mr. Huang about himself?The vice president probably wouldn't care about such a trivial matter as supplier replacement...

A moment of uneasiness welled up in my heart, until Mr. Huang pulled Li Yikai and said to her: "I don't know many young advertising people in mainland China. Kevin is one of them that I admire very much. Have you ever met him? He worked in Mujia. Creativity, once came to propose a plan to DS."

creative? Olivia thought for a moment that Mr. Huang had misremembered, but since she didn't know the relationship between the two, she just smiled and nodded: "Of course."

"That's good, what a coincidence." Mr. Huang's accent was slurred by Singaporean Chinese, but his appreciation for Li Yikai was palpable. He said, "I will have a young brain in mainland China in the future."

Olivia pursed her lips and smiled so that her eye lines were exposed, her long nails were quietly inserted into her palms, and she responded, "That's such a coincidence."

Li Yikai had no intention of showing off in front of her, so he lowered his head and said to Mr. Huang, "It's nice to see you again, but you still have business, so I won't bother you."

"Okay, okay," Mr. Huang turned around, "Let's leave a contact information, I also have WeChat."

Olivia watched them add friends with jealousy, and silently released Li Yikai from the blacklist in the address book.

Zhao Kaisi almost fell asleep waiting in the car, saw Li Yikai sitting in the driver's seat, opened his eyes and asked, "What big man?"

"I don't know," Li Yikai put the phone on the shelf, "It should be the senior management of their group, I don't even know the full name."

"Then you, a business elite, are also very incompetent," Zhao Kaisi said, "you don't take advantage of this kind of opportunity."

Li Yikai stepped on the gas pedal and merged into the traffic: "There is no point in cross-class contact, I'm just a worker."

"Perhaps I really appreciate your talent, otherwise why would you introduce you in front of that woman?" Zhao Kaisi sat up and said.

"What does he appreciate or not? He thinks I'm still working on creativity." Li Yikai doesn't need to be ashamed of Zhao Kaisi, he really doesn't think so: "Maybe I'm an outsider to put pressure on my subordinates."

"You are so realistic," Zhao Kaisi said.

"I have a clear self-awareness," Li Yikai smiled.

The two were silent for a while.

"We are not yet 30 years old, but we are already like scalpers who have been hammered." Zhao Kaisi curled up in a comfortable position in the co-pilot, feeling sadly:

"You weren't like this before."

Li Yikai's brain nerves seemed to be frustrated by this sentence, and the sensitive emotions that hadn't flared up for a long time began to move again.

He remembered that he had just become roommates with Zhao Kaisi in college, he said he wanted to win the Cannes Award for advertising, and Zhao Kaisi said he wanted to win the Hasselblad Award for photography.

Later, these words turned into wild words, and now he does not even have time to participate in the project creative meeting, rushing between negotiations and contracts one after another; while Zhao Kaisi can only put his original non-commercial pictures on the photography material website, relying on downloading Earn a month's pocket money.

This kind of thinking is too heavy to say sorry, like a faint drop of paint dripping into the boundless river, it will soon be washed away without a trace, only the colorless water flow reminds that something has disappeared from the heart.

"If I hold a personal exhibition, I will invite you."

Suddenly, what Yuan Zhiming said when they first met appeared in his mind.

The color of this person's words is too strong, and the reflected light is enough to dye the water surface in autumn colors.

"When you go to Kenya, don't just focus on shooting for clients, but also accumulate more of your own works," Li Yikai suddenly said:

"There will be good pictures."

"Well," Zhao Kaisi responded, "You've said something decent."
