because i'm pretty

It was Li Yikai who returned home that night.

Colorful woven scarves are scattered on the sofa in the living room, and milk boxes are placed on the coffee table with straws inserted. These are things that never appear in Li Yikai's house.He went to pick up the carton, heard the sound of sloshing water, and there was still a small half of the box that he didn't drink.

Li Yikai didn't know what to think, so he took the paper box into the kitchen, thought about it, and put it back.

There was really no purpose to this behavior, but he thought that when he went out early in the morning to look at the venue, he asked Yuan Zhiming to eat up his breakfast and take out the garbage.But Yuan Zhiming didn't listen.

But why did he ask Yuan Zhiming to be obedient?

Li Yikai was lying on the sofa with a scarf covering half of his eyes.Two people who are obviously so different, when they live together, they don't feel strenuous at all, and there is no need to adjust their different living habits, and they can accommodate and tolerate each other naturally.

And only these are far from enough. The real life is to expose the shortcomings, to bear each other's unavoidable weaknesses in character, and to see one's timidity and arrogance in the eyes of another person.

The day after the end of the project was a rest day, but Li Yikai still asked Qin Xiaoen to meet outside the company.

"Have you talked to anyone else about this?" Qin Xiaoen asked while sitting on the sofa.

Li Yikai shook his head: "It's not 80.00%, I have to be [-]% sure before I dare to tell them."

Qin Xiaoen smiled: "I'm a little flattered."

"Stop doing this." Li Yikai sat opposite him and said seriously: "I haven't partnered with others in so many years, and I never thought about others when looking for a partner. But this is my own plan. It's not so easy to do it by myself. I'm tired. There are also risks."

"Okay", Qin Xiaoen nodded: "Then give it a try."

Li Yikai leaned forward, put his hands on his knees, and asked in disbelief: "That's it?"

"Yeah, that's it. I never thought of partnering with others." Qin Xiaoen leaned on the back of the chair, "Actually, I thought about leaving Camus a long time ago. I stayed because you formed this group alone. You and I Have you said that?"

I’ve said it before, but such words are usually just listened to. Li Yikai regards it more as a request to himself, rather than Qin Xiaoen’s promise.

"It's okay, it's not important," Qin Xiaoen said as he took out the electronic cigarette from his pocket.

Li Yikai looked at his hands hesitantly: "In fact, the risk is very high. There is no precedent for this model in China, and I have no entrepreneurial experience. Even I am worried that I will bring you into the pit..."

"Oh yes, if there is a partnership, let's clarify first," Qin Xiaoen put down his cigarette and said.

Li Yikai looked up at him: "Say it."

Qin Xiaoen also acted the same as him, leaned forward a little and said: "Since we are partners, this company belongs to us together, we earn money together, bear risks together, don't be like before..."

Seeing Li Yikai's nervous look, he wanted to laugh: "Don't think of yourself as a leader too much, you and I are both bosses, understand?"

"Okay", Li Yikai also laughed out loud, lowered his head and thought for a while: "Just stop being lazy."

Qin Xiaoen reflected deeply.In fact, he is no worse than Li Yikai when he is serious, but he has been exhausted by Mu Jia's "looking at money" style in recent years. Passion and ideals are ridiculous to others, but they are nourishment for people like them.

"At least you do it, I believe you will not change, and neither will I," Qin Xiaoen said.

Li Yikai readily accepted the pressure: "No."

"Then what do you mean by coming here?" Qin Xiaoen looked up and looked around: "New office? Already got investment?"

"No, this is my friend's company. Let us lend us some initial office space." Li Yikai pursed his lips. "It's rare to find suitable investors. For the time being, I want to try to pick up projects and start them up. There may be no income at this stage, so I didn't pull anyone else."

Qin Xiaoen agreed very much, and talked more about future plans: "If it's just a bidding proposal, the two of us should be able to support it. If we are too busy...my wife should be able to help with the plan. Oh yes, we And Yuan Zhiming."

"Ah?" Li Yikai didn't react.

Qin Xiaoen looked at him and smiled, blowing out smoke rings.

Li Yikai touched his nose: "Let's talk about it."

"Are you still fighting?"

Li Yikai really panicked this time: "How do you know?"

"The whole company knows about it," Qin Xiaoen said innocently, "I'm the latest."

Li Yikai underestimated the speed of gossip, and also underestimated his attention.He was irritated by this mild loss of control, and if all went well, it would be fine for both of them to quit quickly; but what if they couldn't?

He took out his mobile phone and sent a message to ask Yuan Zhiming about the signing.

But after chatting with Qin Xiaoen for a long time, he didn't hear back.Maybe I'm busy, maybe I haven't calmed down yet.

Li Yikai didn't dare to ask again.

When the sky darkened, Zhou Xing rushed in in a hurry: "It's great, you are still here."

Li Yikai introduced the two of them, lowered his head and asked him, "What is this?"

Zhou Xing laughed and said three words: "20."

"You asked for Yuan Zhiming's painting?" Li Yikai was a little surprised.

"Don't reach out, it's not for you, I'm using it to decorate the company." Zhou Xing patted him away: "How about Mr. Qin, is my place okay?"

"Very good", Qin Xiaoen's attention was also on the painting: "Can I have a look?"

Zhou Xing generously handed over the wrapped picture frame, and elbowed Li Yikai: "Don't look at it, it's really not for you, I don't have such a bodhisattva heart, this painting is because I lost power and humiliated the country, and I begged my dad for several days. here."

Li Yikai looked at him with suspicious eyes: "You don't want to use Yuan Zhiming as your company's case, do you?"

"Do I dare?" Zhou Xing was speechless, so he had to explain seriously: "That's right, now in our circle, the re-enactment of famous paintings is too cheap, and the artists who hang on the fire seem to have no personality. Only by using the works of such potential artists can we show the company taste."

"This painting is hung here at the main entrance. If a producer or director comes in, we can talk a few words about art first when we enter the door." Zhou Xing gestured to the wall with longing on his face: "When the time comes, Xiaoyuan will be more and more beautiful." As he becomes more and more popular, I can also boast that I know people well, and I have a friendship with him since childhood."

"I'm just borrowing his light, is it understandable?"

Li Yikai had nothing to say.

"It turns out that Xiaoyuan is already so popular." Qin Xiaoen squatted on the ground looking at the painting: "I really wronged him in Miaojia."

"Of course", Zhou Xing is familiar with himself, and he is quite proud of talking about other people's boyfriends: "Our Xiaoyuan Weibo has almost [-] followers, and this is still the case that we have not signed a contract. Incredible..."

"It's almost ready," Li Yikai interrupted him: "Do you want to hang it up? I'll help you."

"Okay, okay", Zhou Xing casually said, in fact, he was still holding his mobile phone, and Qin Xiaoen enthusiastically searched Yuan Zhiming's Weibo, he suddenly asked a question: "Yikai, are you taking care of his Weibo again?"

Li Yikai was impatient: "Why do I care about his Weibo? Do I like to care about him so much?"

"Then why did he delete all the previous things?"

Zhou Xing handed over the phone, and Li Yikai remembered that Yuan Zhiming had posted less than ten Weibo posts since he registered.

I thanked the fans for their attention to the auction and works, I posted a few pictures of myself, and one was taken by Li Yikai, his serious side face in front of the canvas... Yuan Zhiming, in order to create a cool character design, every day The Weibo texts are very simple, with aloofness and a little stinky fart.

Li Yikai remembered every piece, he was lying on the bed himself last night, and went to read it again.

But on the page at this time, it shows that the number of microblogs is 0.

"What's going on?" Zhou Xing asked, "The manager asked him to delete it?"

should not.Li Yikai thought that the purpose of opening this Weibo at the beginning was to prevent Xue Ming from controlling too much, and also to give Yuan Zhiming some room for free expression.If Xue Ming made this request, he should come to discuss it with him.

Maybe not?That was the degree of Yuan Zhiming's anger, which had exceeded what Li Yikai thought.

He took out his mobile phone and called Yuan Zhiming directly.But the prompt has been turned off.

"Are you okay?" Zhou Xing asked cautiously.

Li Yikai picked up his coat and went out: "I'll go and have a look."

drive on the road.Li Yikai first answered a call from Hu Manting:

"I'm not going back today, I'm in a hurry."

Hu Manting complained: "The soup is ready, what about tomorrow?"

"Not sure", Li Yikai replied, and then said: "I'm sorry, Mom."

Hu Manting was obviously stunned for a moment, and then said with a funny voice: "It's inexplicable."

After thinking about it, he called Lucifer again, but the other party was more ignorant than him, and expressed strong indignation at Yuan Zhiming's opening of social media.

Li Yikai didn't have time to talk to him, so he just hung up.

The car quickly drove to the downstairs of Yuan Zhiming's community, and the crooked roads were already too familiar.But when Li Yikai closed the car door, he was still not sure whether Yuan Zhiming would be here.

He even had the idea of ​​finding a way to contact Yuan Songqing, if he hadn't found anyone yet.

Fortunately, when the door was opened, the room was not completely dark.

"Yuan Zhiming?" Li Yikai closed the door softly and walked in, and saw him sitting on the ground leaning against the wall, with the sleep lamp he gave him emitting a faint warm light.That was the only light source in the entire room, breathing quietly.

"Xiao Ming?" Li Yikai knelt down and touched Yuan Zhiming's forehead, as if he was touched by his grandfather when he was a child.

But his forehead was at a normal temperature. Yuan Zhiming opened his eyes when he heard the sound, looked at him, and then waved his hand away.

Li Yikai's heart melted when he saw the blood in his eyes and the drooping corners of his mouth because of grievance.He leaned over and patted Yuan Zhiming's head, to see that he didn't push away, and instead wrapped him in his arms.

"Still angry with me? Don't be angry, I'm sorry."

"No", Yuan Zhiming said in a muffled voice.

"Then what's wrong?" Li Yikai asked softly, "I was scared to death."

Yuan Zhiming sniffed, but it wasn't enough, so he took two more puffs on Li Yikai's neck.Then he curled his lips and said, "I'm an idiot who can't do anything."
