because i'm pretty

This is not a good time to comfort someone.

The messages on the phone popped up one after another, many unfinished issues were still waiting, and the client didn't know yet... But Li Yikai didn't dare to put down the phone in his hand, even if Yuan Zhiming didn't say a word, even if he didn't. How much energy to organize language appeasement.

The cold wind blows through Jinghai's balcony and blows to the old town of Huaizhou, and they listen to each other's wind and breathing.

Until Yuan Zhiming walked alone for a long time, walked out of the suffocating buildings, sat beside the Han River, and relieved the oppressive feeling wrapped in his heart.

"Are you looking for something to do with me?" He asked.

Li Yikai sighed and asked, "Have you gone home?"

"No."

"Take a taxi and go back. I'm on the phone."

When Li Yikai called during working hours, it must not be just a greeting, Yuan Zhiming insisted: "I'm fine, you go first."

Sun Shanshan pushed open the door again, handed Li Yikai a coat, and he said to the phone: "The data of Hongda's ice sculpture is wrong."

He knew that this might not be a good time, but people are always struggling with work and life. He has no right to hide Yuan Zhiming, and he also has the responsibility to investigate the cause of this matter.

Yuan Zhiming's brain seemed to be stuck. He carefully discerned the words before he realized: "Data? What's wrong?"

Li Yikai briefly talked about the known news - the factory was halfway done, the signboard was transported there, and it was found that the size could not be closed.After a long call, they insisted that the data was provided by Camus.

As for that set of data, the size of the iceberg was regarded as the size of the outer block. As for the iceberg they made, they don't know where the data came from.

"The factory said you gave it to me. I want to know what happened," Li Yikai said.

Yuan Zhiming asked what the actual size was, and after hearing the numbers reported by Li Yikai, he pressed his own pulse.

"I'll ask, I'll talk to them," he said.

Li Yikai refused: "No, you take care of yourself first. Now is not the time to quarrel. When the current matter is resolved, I will ask them for compensation."

Li Yikai didn't seem to have thought about it at all, maybe this matter was really Yuan Zhiming's mistake; or maybe he didn't have time to pursue it, but subconsciously regarded Yuan Zhiming as an innocent person involved.

The more this happened, the more Yuan Zhiming's heart became colder inch by inch.

"I gave the data, and it is my responsibility," Yuan Zhiming said, "I made a mistake."

Li Yikai didn't ask, he sighed and said, "Now is not the time to talk about that."

"So I went to the factory and said, don't worry about it, I will take care of it."

"What do you mean I don't care?" Li Yikai took a deep breath of cold air, "Yuan Zhiming, what happened to our group is my business. You are in a bad mood now, don't make decisions or argue with others, listen to me , go home and have a rest, I'll talk to you later. Okay?"

The person opposite did not speak, Li Yikai stood in the cold wind for a long time, waiting for Yuan Zhiming to say "I'm sorry" in a low voice.

Sun Shanshan had just finished a phone call with the factory, bumped into Li Yikai and came back, and immediately reported: "They refused to change it immediately, and we must sign a supplementary agreement, admit the wrong party, and pay an advance payment for the modification fee."

"No, at this juncture, how can there be time?" Daqiao was anxious: "All the publicity has been arranged, just waiting for this ice cube, can't they be more flexible?"

"The production method of this kind of factory is different from ours." Li Yikai rubbed his eyebrows: "Follow what they said first, and I will communicate with the legal side."

Sun Shanshan froze and didn't move: "But, boss, do we admit that it's our fault?"

Li Yikai bowed his head and said: "The most important thing for them is to prove that the production is accurate and reliable, and the most important thing for us is to make the client's project go online smoothly. How can we choose at this juncture?"

Sun Shanshan understands that this loss is only a loss of profit for Camus. As long as the time schedule is in time, the client will not know about this episode, and Camus' long-term interests will not be damaged.

As far as the factory is concerned, if this incident is admitted to be their mistake, then this will be a permanent stain on them-so they cannot make concessions at this time, and concessions are equivalent to admitting their mistakes.

"I'm going now," Sun Shanshan said.

Daqiao thought for a while: "Then I'll help Sister Dong..."

"Not for the time being," Li Yikai said, "Stay on your own business, and let Lao Qin spare some time for him to watch."

Qin Xiaoen handled the crisis more carefully and prudently than him, Daqiao understood: "No problem."

Not long after, Sun Shanshan pushed open the door of the conference room with a huff: "It's alright boss, the factory just said that it is already starting to modify, and the new one can be finished before it goes online."

Li Yikai frowned: "Didn't you mention the additional payment?"

Sun Shanshan shook her head: "I didn't mention it, I was asking Sister Dong, maybe it was her?"

If it is, she will tell Li Yikai the result as soon as possible, and will not let this news reach here through the factory.

Li Yikai bowed his head: "Okay, I understand, you do other things first, leave this to me."

It was a waste of several days to make the wrong sculpture, and it was a good thing that the factory was willing to start work after turning around and doing it again. Li Yikai was busy preparing for the record and communicating with the customer in advance.

Not surprisingly, Feng Xin repeatedly questioned him. He only said that it was his own negligence, and he would bear all the compensation.

Sister Dong was almost stationed in the factory, trying to shorten the time for communication and confirmation as much as possible. When the progress finally caught up, she came back to the company. She seemed to be haggard in a few days. She cut her hair short to save time. There is no time to take care of it, so I can only wear a hat to cover it.

After she finished explaining the situation, she apologized to Li Yikai alone.

"I didn't make it clear when I gave the data, and I forgot to delete the wrong set of data, so they think there is evidence."

Li Yikai was drawing the schedule with a brush, when he heard that he had poked a hole in the paper, he asked, "What is the so-called wrong data?"

Sister Dong shook her head: "I don't know, Xiaoyuan passed it on, oh, but he told me to remove it, I forgot."

"But the factory insisted that it was given by Yuan Zhiming." Li Yikai couldn't figure this out: "Have they communicated before?"

Sister Dong didn't answer this question, she wanted to admit her mistake: "But he handed it over to me, it's indeed my responsibility, whether it's the client or the boss, and the compensation payment, I think..."

Li Yikai didn't let her go on: "It's never just one person's problem, I know what happens."

"I understand the truth, but..." Sister Dong looked up at Li Yikai, and smiled again: "Okay, I won't talk about it, and I will treat you to dinner after I settle it."

"Go home early, don't think too much," Li Yikai advised her: "You have been carrying it yourself for so many days, and you have already made up for any problems."

Sister Dong was already about to leave, but when she heard this sentence she stood still, confused and at a loss: "Ah? It's not me."

Li Yikai heard her say: "Xiaoyuan has been living in the factory for the past few days, and he stared at all the details later. I think there is something wrong with his family, so let him go back to Huaizhou today... "

Sister Dong talked for a long time, and suddenly realized something was wrong: "You don't know?"

Li Yikai is like a puppet being held up in mid-air, unable to get up or down; also like a shell that has been hollowed out and has its own appearance.

he does not know.

Ever since the phone was hung up that day, and the factory readily agreed to modify it, he guessed that Yuan Zhiming still went to find them.Then he waited, waited for an explanation, waited for help, waited to talk...

But nothing, Yuan Zhiming told him to leave it alone, and he really took care of everything by himself.

He went to the factory, the master, Sister Dong, and maybe Sun Shanshan or Daqiao, but he didn't contact Li Yikai.

"Well", the shell was empty and would shatter when struck, Li Yikai said, "I don't know."

"He must be guilty and dare not tell you." Zhou Xing drove the car, comforting people loudly: "You think so much yourself, why don't you ask him directly?"

Li Yikai leaned on the back of his chair, looking at the buildings passing by outside the window, and spoke very slowly because of his ecstasy: "Why do you ask? I asked him what he did? Why didn't he tell me? What relationship do I have with him? Why do you ask like this? "

"And he said he won't let me care, how can I lower myself?"

Zhou Xing didn't understand: "When you fall in love to coax others, how do you call it low? The girl told you to leave them alone, didn't they just say the truth, and act coquettishly?"

"Yuan Zhiming is not a girl," Li Yikai sighed. He tried to convince himself with many reasons, but none of them worked: "His tone, the situation in which he said this, is neither impulsive nor joking, and..."

"And what?"

Moreover, Yuan Zhiming pushed him away intentionally or unintentionally, and concealed him, not just this time, Li Yikai could pretend not to know, but he couldn't fool himself.

But he didn't want to say it.

"I feel a little tired and I want to take a break."

"I think you just think too much and want to save face too much," Zhou Xing disagreed.

You shouldn't tell Zhou Xing about your relationship problems, and it's not speculative after all.

Li Yikai closed his mouth and eyes and rested his mind until Zhao Kaisi called.

"Traffic jam", Zhou Xing pressed the speakerphone: "Let's pick up Qi Chen first, and then go there, at least half an hour."

Zhao Kaisi sounded like he was about to die: "Please, there are so many people, so many things, the lights for a while, the distance for a while, and the commentary..." Kaisi Zhao even lit a cigarette: "I never thought of an exhibition like this. eventful."

Zhou Xing couldn't stop laughing: "Relax, it will start at night, and it's just trivial."

"No," Zhao Kaisi yelled under his breath, "I heard that some exhibition seats were removed because the size didn't fit."

"Fuck, print a photo, and print the wrong size?" Zhou Xing was surprised.

Kaisi Zhao said, "No, it's not photography, it's installation art, I don't know, anyway, it looks messy."

"All right, all right, don't worry, bad things won't happen to you," Zhou Xing comforted him, but suddenly there was a bang, he stepped on the brakes suddenly, and Li Yikai's head almost hit the windshield.

Zhou Xing began to scold without saying a word: "I rely on you to see if this car is an idiot? Why are you robbing him? Are you rushing to deliver the coffin?"

There was a minivan in front, and a large boxy box was placed in the rear compartment, rushing forward by jumping left and right.

Li Yikai didn't know why, but felt that the... running posture of this car was a little familiar. He pulled himself together, took the phone and asked Zhao Kaisi to hang up first, so as not to affect Zhou Xing's driving.

"Okay, okay, I'm flustered," Zhao Kaisi was still babbling: "I've been tossing about the booth over there, and I get a headache just looking at it."

Li Yikai said: "Then go out and hide for a while, we will help you deal with it when we arrive."

He didn't know whether it was caused by the overtaking or because of Zhao Kaisi's panic, he laughed and said:

"After what you said, my heart beats a little wrong."
