because i'm pretty

For a minute, Yuan Zhiming raised his head, his eyes gradually focused, but his mind went blank.

He couldn't detect his inner emotions, whether he was happy or angry, surprised or wronged, and he couldn't even tell whether the person in front of him was real.

Until the sound of Li Yikai's footsteps became clearer and clearer, he trotted up to him and called him.

Tears fell out without warning, and the tight tide in the abdominal cavity seemed to find the gate, breaking through the body at that moment.

Only then did Yuan Zhiming feel that his cheeks began to ache from clenching his teeth, he opened his mouth, and the moment he relaxed, the whimpering was uncontrollable.

There were people coming and going outside the ward, and the crying young man sitting in the corner was particularly eye-catching. The floor was dirty, and the eyes of others were full of scrutiny.

But Li Yikai completely forgot about this, he squatted directly in front of Yuan Zhiming, and when he stretched out his hand, the other's forehead had already touched his left shoulder.Li Yikai simply half-knelt down, and tightly embraced the man who couldn't stop trembling because of sobbing into his arms.

"I'm sorry," his voice was steady and powerful, "I'm sorry, I'm here."

Yuan Zhiming couldn't speak anymore, he just cried, his chest vibrated, and he wailed like a small animal.

Li Yikai's shoulders were soaked quickly, and the fabric of the shirt around his waist was also wrinkled, and it was tightly pulled into a ball like his heart.

In the distance, Lucifer hurried over, stopped the car when he saw this scene, and stood there hesitantly.

Yuan Zhiming's cry was too sad, as if he wanted to empty the despair and pressure from his body in one breath. In this place where there is no shortage of joys and sorrows, his emotions have been suppressed for too long. Lucifer felt that he needed such a field cry.

It's just that now is not the time.

After hesitating again and again, he still leaned over and squeezed between the two embracing people, while Li Yikai patted Yuan Zhiming's back reassuringly and comforted him.Untimely, he reached out and patted him too.

"Yuan Zhiming, Yuan Zhiming", he called twice: "Don't cry yet."

Only Li Yikai turned his head and looked at him hesitantly.

Lucifer couldn't control so much, and said all at once, "Listen to me, there is a matching kidney source!"

"Are you sure?" Li Yikai asked.

"Really?" Yuan Zhiming raised his head sobbing, his nose was red, and his nose and tears were a ball, he didn't bother to wipe it off, he just looked at it eagerly.

Lucifer was uncomfortable being watched by the two, and stepped back a little: "Really, the database just updated in Jinghai City, matching matching, is now going through the formalities."

"My uncle asked me to tell you, and asked you to prepare the materials and the cost."

The public lights in the corridor flicked on, and when the dusk closed, the interior was as bright as day.

Yuan Zhiming sat beside the hospital bed, Yuan Songqing breathed steadily, and the surroundings were quiet and silent, only the sound of Didi's ECG could be heard, like the passing of life and reincarnation.

200 kilometers away, a young man who signed an organ donation letter died in an accidental car accident.But his kidney became Yuan Songqing's hope, giving a new chapter to the countdown to the end.

Between great joy and great sorrow, he cried wantonly, then quickly withdrew his emotions, and handled all matters in an orderly manner amidst tension.

At this moment, he was sitting motionless as if he had lost his strength after a marathon sprint, looking at Yuan Songqing for a while, and Li Yikai for a while.

Nothing was worse than before, nothing was better than now, and he seemed to have it all and not be afraid to lose the rest.

Li Yikai got up and asked the nurse to change the infusion bottle, and handed him a glass of water by the way.

"I've made up my mind," Yuan Zhiming said.

"Huh? What are you thinking about?" Li Yikai lightly pulled over another chair, and Yuan Zhiming grabbed his hand almost as soon as he sat down.

"I can't sign a contract with Gu Changfeng." Yuan Zhiming's voice was low but firm: "I can't choose the wrong path because I am afraid. On the wrong path, it will not lead to the right result."

"I may still have time to make up for the losses I have caused to others, but if I make mistakes again and again, there is really no way to recover."

He looked at Yuan Songqing and lowered his head slightly: "I also thought about it, my dad...maybe he didn't really like this kind of life without fighting or grabbing, but because he made a wrong decision and could only escape like this."

Li Yikai helped him lift the hair that covered his eyes, so that he could see the people on the hospital bed clearly, and said after pondering for a while: "I don't think it's all like that, Uncle Yuan, he is very selfless and great."

Yuan Zhiming smiled softly: "He is a very good person, but he is not so lucky."

He looked at Li Yikai: "He doesn't have a firm friend like you, and he doesn't have parents like him. I think I did a bad job. If he had you, he might not be so swaying in the first place."

Li Yikai rubbed his hair, and Yuan Zhiming leaned against him docilely.Li Yikai felt that he was more dependent on him than before, but besides the dependence, there seemed to be something more on Yuan Zhiming, which supported him to complete his growth alone—even though he wrapped all the branches around Li Yikai, his trunk But more solid.

This made Li Yikai gratified, but distressed, guilty, and worried.

His thumb lightly brushed Yuan Zhiming's eyelashes: "But in the end, isn't it you who make these choices? You are much better than you think."

"Yuan Zhiming", he said, "Don't doubt yourself at any time, even if you don't have Uncle Yuan, even sometimes I can't stand firmly by your side, or... many things in this world are worse than you think .But no matter what happens, you are you and no one else."

Yuan Zhiming buried his head on his shoulder, and a little wetness spread, and he said in a nasal voice, "Am I really that good?"

"Of course." Li Yikai smiled and counted softly: "I apologize for what I said before. I know that you have never wavered. You have your own bottom line."

"But me", Yuan Zhiming rubbed on his shoulder, the feeling of grievance gradually spread, and his words were no longer coherent: "I thought you gave up on me, you ignored me these days , I, I feel sorry for Li Yikai, and I don't want to be like this, I let you down..."

"I didn't give up." Li Yikai leaned against his head, "I didn't contact you. Firstly, Uncle Qiu told you something. I think you need to digest it yourself. I can't always interfere with your decision; secondly, These days, I'm also dealing with what I have to do."

Yuan Zhiming barely raised his head: "What did you do?"

Li Yikai took his hand and touched it to his lips: "I know you will definitely choose to reject Gu Changfeng, so before that, I will go to have a showdown with him."

Not just a showdown, Li Yikai spent three days spreading out all the worst-case scenarios and patching up the loopholes one by one.

He allowed himself to be impulsive, wanting Yuan Zhiming to follow his heart, but he couldn't let everything fall in a chaotic direction.

"I first chatted with Lao Qin about all the current situation." He lowered his head and smiled: "After he listened, he asked me to convey his original words to you-he said fuck it, he started his own business just to not swallow his anger, if Or being manipulated by others, what's the difference between going back to work?"

Yuan Zhiming also wiped away his tears and gave a low laugh.

It is very lucky to have teammates with a unified bottom line. No one wrongs themselves for the sake of perfecting the other party. All choices are based on the same values.

Afterwards, they can face tricky situations together.

"The second thing is that the two of us drew up a share agreement and issued it to all the cooperative artists of this sneaker project. Compared with Gu Changfeng, our biggest advantage is sincerity and prospects-we propose to share part of the shares with them , forming artist shareholders.”

"This means that if their representatives are willing to sign a long-term cooperation, the company has their part in the future."

This is a very risky choice, which means that part of the company's development decisions are handed over to those artists who are imaginative, rather than supported by market and business logic.But Li Yikai dared to do this.

"Because I'm sure I'll never do something that tramples on ideas," he said, "as long as it doesn't violate that principle, they won't interfere with other developments in the company.

The result was better than expected. [-]% of the artists agreed, [-]% maintained the existing cooperation mode, and the other [-]% chose to terminate the cooperation completely.

Yuan Zhiming quickly became nervous: "Then what about your project?"

Li Yikai squeezed Yuan Zhiming's hand, and said in a leisurely manner: "Then, I went to meet with the sneaker customers and honestly told them about their current status. I proposed a solution and signed a betting agreement with them. "

In the current period, only 60% of the artists are left to cooperate, and the brand can choose to terminate the contract with Li Yikai, but their sunk costs cannot be ignored.

So no one can refuse Li Yikai's proposal - the client no longer restricts the number and candidates of artists, and gives Li Yikai full authority to execute, and they only look at the results. If the sales KPI can be achieved, the contract will be executed as originally planned; if not, Li Yikai will not receive a penny of profit.

"It's possible to lose myself too," Li Yikai said with a smile, "The leader of Reese's brand is friends with Mr. Huang, and I only knew at this time that Mr. Huang was also recommended to win this bid. So the other party agreed. I made a bet against each other, but there is an additional condition that if I fail, I need to bring a team into Rees."

Yuan Zhiming remembered Mr. Huang, he invited Li Yikai to join DS but was rejected, but he didn't care about it, and still supported him behind his back.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Huang," Yuan Zhiming said hoarsely.

"Thank you," said Li Yikai, "I promised him that if there is any cooperation in the future, I will give him the lowest discount."

"Finally," Li Yikai said again, "I just went to see Gu Changfeng. I made my own claim and told him that you said you would not cooperate with him."

"It's okay." Yuan Zhiming shook his head: "Anyway, I don't want to see him again."

Li Yikai looked at him with heavy eyes, and continued to state after a while: "Wang Daqi stopped cooperating with me soon, and now I only have some artists who are not well-known, and I will continue to deliver cooperation projects in the next step. Only by racking your brains and creating ideas on the theme of the project can you have a chance to win."

In addition, there is Muga.

Feng Xin reluctantly established contact with the Farai Group, but the other party has a strong cooperation with the Jinghai Film Festival and is unwilling to have a rift with Gu Changfeng.As an advertising company, Mujia can terminate the cooperation with Gu Changfeng, but they will bear all the consequences.

The best understanding that the Farai Group can give is not to hold them accountable, but the subsequent projects of the film festival have nothing to do with them.

After Yuan Zhiming listened, he bowed his head and remained silent for a long time.

He asked, "Everyone, what do you say?"

No matter how strong the team is, people will be unpredictable. Li Yikai told him truthfully: "Even if there are complaints, they will not say it out, but the complaints are not just about you. If you don't understand the situation and background of the project clearly, Feng Xin's responsibility is even greater. big."

Feng Xin stumbled, and this time he finally admitted that he had made a mistake in judgment. He promised to pay a portion of the project bonus in proportion, which would be borne by the company.

Material compensation is one aspect, but there is another aspect that makes Yuan Zhiming feel depressed.

He doesn't expect everyone to empathize with him, but this period of hard work, working day and night, in exchange for such an ending... just maybe, this is already the best.

"Let this come to an end first, take good care of Dad, and then remember? You promised to design a sneaker for me." Li Yikai knew that his Yuan Zhiming would not be able to relax at ease. Instead of letting him think wildly, it is better to put work first. To him: "Now I am short of designers, so you have become a very important member."

"Okay", Yuan Zhiming nodded seriously, and began to ask again: "Then what do you plan to do next?"

"If you still have energy, help me think about the idea of ​​marketing activities. There are not enough artists, so I need other stimuli." Li Yikai explained bluntly: "I will send you the project introduction."

"Yes", Yuan Zhiming agreed one by one, "Is there any more?"

The moonlight crept in through the window, and the light in the ward was dim. His eyelashes cast shadows on his face, his eyes were a little swollen from crying, and he looked a little smaller than usual. When he looked at people seriously, he was a little cute and a little funny.

Being stared at like this, Li Yikai suddenly lowered his head and smiled, not as a mockery, but as if he was shy.

Yuan Zhiming didn't know why, so he watched him lower his head and play with the hands that the two had been interlocking.

"Actually, there is one more thing I want to confess to you," Li Yikai said, "Whether it is the operation of the company or the additional activities needed to achieve KPIs, all of these require funds."

"I plan to mortgage my current house."

"If it fails, I'll be homeless."

Yuan Zhiming immediately said as expected: "My house still has a one-year lease, and I will support you."

Li Yikai looked at him with a smile: "Can I trust you?"

"You don't believe it?" Yuan Zhiming asked in surprise.

"I feel a little insecure," Li Yikai whispered, took his luggage bag with the other hand, and opened the inner zipper.

With the help of the faint light, Yuan Zhiming saw what he took out, and his breathing lost a beat in an instant.

"Yuan Zhiming, I made a big bet." He opened the box with one hand, and kept holding Yuan Zhiming's with his left hand.

"But I know what I'm doing. There is no certain happy ending in life. The higher the pursuit, the more risks you have to take. I am willing to accept these risks."

"It's just that in these instabilities, I still want something certain."

Li Yikai raised his head slowly and looked at the person on the hospital bed: "I should have said these words when Uncle Yuan was awake, but I was very anxious, never before."

There were two rings quietly lying in the box, plain platinum rings, with precious streamlines dripping under the moonlight.

"We can't get married, but for me, such a promise is a lifetime." Li Yikai took out one of them and solemnly placed it in Yuan Zhiming's palm.

"Would you like to wear it on your hand?"
