You just enjoy it at home every day

On Christmas Day, Qu Fanyi and Chi Wei invited Chen Zhuan and Sheng Yiqing to have a meal.

The last snow of 2021 was falling outside the glass window, and the four of them were sitting around the ice-cooked lamb hotpot and drinking lamb soup. Sheng Yiqing keenly noticed that there was a difference between Chi Wei and Qu Fanyi.

More friendly, more tacit, and also...

More like a real couple.

Until the two women went to the bathroom together, before Sheng Yiqing could gossip, Qu Fanyi could not wait to update Sheng Yiqing on the latest situation: "I met Lin Shan! She asked Chi Wei to divorce me and said she wanted to get back together with him."

Sheng Yiqing widened her eyes, and before she could speak, Qu Fanyi blinked again: "As a result, Chi Wei was scared and woke up from a nightmare that night hahahahahahahahahaha."

The shock was too great, Sheng Yiqing couldn't recover for a while, and asked again after a while: "Then, are they still in contact now?"

Qu Fanyi shook her head: "No."

After returning home that day, Sheng Yiqing quickly updated Chen Zhuan on this shocking gossip. I thought Chen Zhuan would be as surprised as she was, but she didn't expect Chen Zhuan to listen while playing games. At the end, he curved his mouth and smiled:

"Not strange."

Sheng Yiqing almost jumped up from the sofa: "Isn't this strange? This is Lin Shan?! Chi Wei's Lin Shan!"

Chen Zhuan smiled and glanced at her, pulled her wrist, asked her to sit quietly on the side, paused the game, and patiently said to her: "This is a very simple truth. In the past, you worked like a cow and a horse for others, but now, others work like a cow and a horse for you. Once you get used to being a human and find that being a human is good, who would want to go back to being a dog? If it were me, I wouldn't want to be with Lin Shan. Shan together. "

"Then why did he treat Lin Shan so well later?"

"As a man, feelings are one thing, life is another. It's true that he has feelings for Lin Shan, but that's limited to pity. When his life is going well, he pities Lin Shan, just like teasing a small animal on the roadside. However, once he is exhausted and is tormented by Lin Shan, he will only feel irritated. For example..." Chen Zhuan thought for a while, "Similar to, Mr. Yu, do you know what he likes to eat the most?"

Sheng Yiqing blurted out: "Oysters."

Anyone who has eaten two Western meals with Mr. Yu will know his love for oysters.

"Yes." Chen Zhuan nodded, "He would drive to the beach to eat oysters, eat at the most expensive hotel, and even fly to Sri Lanka on the weekend to eat oysters... He would tell everyone that he loves oysters, and his eyes light up when he sees oysters. But if one day, someone told him that from now on, he can only eat oysters every day. Do you think he would find it terrible?"

Sheng Yiqing tutted: "So Lin Shan is Chi Wei's oysters. And Qu Fanyi is Chi Wei's rice."

Chen Zhuan smiled, "Chi Wei is a very pragmatic person. In his bones, he and Qu Fanyi are the same kind of people. Once he realizes the goodness of Qu Fanyi, he will never choose Lin Shan again."

"Then... what about Lin Shan?"

Chen Zhuan shrugged: "How should I know?"

Sheng Yiqing pushed him hard: "Oh, go find Chi Wei and gossip."

The final news about Lin Shan's ending was heard from Yu Youyang: Chi Wei never saw Lin Shan again, but asked his classmates to give Lin Shan an invitation to his wedding and invite her to the ceremony. It is said that Lin Shan turned pale on the spot.

Sheng Yiqing didn't understand why he didn't reject Lin Shan in person.

Chen Zhuan curled his lips, "He was afraid that Lin Shan would go crazy with him."

When the gossip reached Qiu Zining's ears, Qiu Zining smiled contemptuously and commented sharply: "Men are like this. It's harmless to have an extramarital affair without affecting the family and reputation, but as long as it involves personal interests, they hide faster than anyone else."

Sheng Yiqing shook his head and protested: "But Lin Shan is different, she is Chi Wei's white moonlight!"

Qiu Zining shook his head with a face full of pity: "Only you will believe that men have true love."

Yu Yue moved not long after Xu Sui came back. The day before moving, he went to the kitchen and cooked a table of dishes for Sheng Yiqing and Chen Zhuan. Yu Yue is a typical service-oriented personality. After a meal, she was busy in and out, which reminded Sheng Yiqing of her mother at home during the Chinese New Year when she was a child.

She sighed quietly: No wonder she can marry into a wealthy family.

Looking at Chen Zhuan again, he said suspiciously: "You men still like this, right?"

Chen Zhuan asked back: "Don't you women like it?"

Sheng Yiqing felt a little regretful, "I can't afford to support him, I have no power..."

Chen Zhuan glanced at her.

Yu Yue in the kitchen couldn't help but remind him: "What are the two talking about behind my back?"

Sheng Yiqing laughed: "We are praising you!"

Yu Yue came out of the kitchen and looked at Sheng Yiqing triumphantly: "You should be careful when you speak now, Sun Ning is Sui Sui's sister. Sui Sui told me."

Chen Zhuan nodded and looked at Sheng Yiqing earnestly: "That's it, our Yu Yue is now a son-in-law."

"Oh, I forgot, Mr. Son-in-law, I'm sorry."

Yu Yue was annoyed and glared at Chen Zhuan: "Get out, don't eat."

Sheng Yiqing blinked Blinking: "Does your family's Sui Sui know that you are so fierce in front of outsiders?"

Chen Zhuan followed the gossip: "Hey, who took the initiative when you and Sui Sui kissed for the first time?"

Sheng Yiqing elbowed Chen Zhuan: "What a shame, you just want to know about the kiss?"

Chen Zhuan said with a smile, looking at Sheng Yiqing with shining eyes: "Can he tell us if it's restricted?"

"If he doesn't tell us, won't we guess?" Sheng Yiqing rolled her eyes: "I bet Sui Sui took the initiative."

"Then I bet Yu Yue."

The food eaten by the two people turned into a belly full of bad water, singing the same tune. Yu Yue was about to ask for an explanation, but when she mentioned Xu Sui, her ears turned red and she couldn't resist, so she said: "...Eat more, be careful not to choke to death."

Turned into the kitchen.

After the New Year, Sheng Yiqing's work became even busier. After New Year's Day, President Xie called Sheng Yiqing to the office and solemnly told her a big thing, the LOGO of Hesheng Securities had changed.

It is said that the new LOGO was created by a Japanese designer who spent a lot of money and spent several years on it. The company name "Hexing Securities" was changed from vertical to horizontal, and the English abbreviation was added.

Mr. Xie turned the laptop and put the new LOGO in front of him. He asked her seriously: Do you know what the most important change is in this LOGO revision? Can you see the deep meaning of the management?

Sheng Yiqing looked at it for a while and could only answer frankly - "It's big."

Mr. Xie nodded in approval: "Yes! It's big. The Rainbow Project of Beauty Unlimited will be the first time our new LOGO will be on the prospectus. The company has made efforts here. The rest depends on you."

Sheng Yiqing couldn't believe it: "This time this job was handed over to me?"

She didn't expect that she would have this important task one day.

As the sponsor of the Hong Kong stock IPO, the most important moment has finally come. If the previous work is all empty, then only this work can be seen by the boss, the client and the whole world. In every project, it is also a battleground for all securities firms, that is -

Putting the logo.

In other words, it is to ensure that the logo of your company is as big as possible on the prospectus at all costs!

This is a job that combines negotiation, bargaining, acting and psychological quality. It requires you to be open and close, and pay great attention to details. It requires you to shed tears in a second and cry about your efforts for the project, and it also requires you to hold back your tears in an instant and continue to talk about professional issues.

And the result of all efforts is only one, to make your company's logo as big as possible!

In order to put the logo, Hesheng even issued an internal guide specifically, which instructed how to suppress the logo of the rival securities firm in every detail, so as to ensure the size of its own company's logo. According to rumors, the company once had a LOGO master who once set a record of making the brokerage LOGO larger than the client LOGO. He was once a well-known topic in the industry and was honored as "the great teacher".

Before going to Hong Kong, Sheng Yiqing carefully packed a bottle of sodium hyaluronate (artificial tears, to ensure that he could cry at any time and win sympathy), a vernier caliper (to ensure that the LOGO can be measured accurately within millimeters), a box of Jinshengzi throat lozenges (to ensure that he would not be hoarse when arguing) and a gavel (to ensure that he could slam the table at any time and intimidate the other party during the verbal battle).

Sheng Yiqing stayed in Hong Kong for three days. The printer was very busy. After the A1 was successfully submitted, he finally ensured that Hesheng's LOGO was better than Xinda.

The project was a great success. Sheng Yiqing told Mr. Xie the good news as soon as possible. Mr. Xie was overjoyed on the other end of the phone and said that this was the best New Year's gift he had ever received. After hanging up the phone, Sheng Yiqing was pulled to two other new projects, encouraging her to keep working hard and achieve more success.

Sheng Yiqing bought a plane ticket for the next morning. When she was sitting in Kowloon International Airport, she received a screenshot sent by Chen Zhuan. She squinted her eyes and replied after a while: "Congratulations."

It was an admission letter from UCLA.

Beijing in January is the coldest time, but winter will soon end. When summer comes, Chen Zhuan will also go abroad.

Sheng Yiqing saw Chen Zhuan's old car not long after leaving the airport. He jumped out of the car, waved to her, and took the suitcase from her hand.

Seeing her, he seemed to be very happy. He kept talking, saying that he had just received an offer in the morning and joined several study abroad groups in the afternoon. Some of them went to Los Angeles to study film in 2157, or went to UCLA to study. He also said that UCLA recruited 20 people in China for the film major this year, 5 of whom were from Beijing, and made an appointment to have a meal this weekend.

Sheng Yiqing listened quietly without saying anything.

After a while, Chen Zhuan realized something was wrong and asked her: "What's wrong with you? Are you unhappy?" Then he smiled and pinched her face: "Stupid, I'm going to school, and I still love you."

Sheng Yiqing said bluntly: "I will miss you."

Chen Zhuan was stunned, and his ears were hot because of her sudden intimacy. He felt quite uncomfortable: "A semester is only three months. I will start school in September, and you can come to see me during the October vacation. In another two months, I will have winter vacation again. Aren't you back again? Wait until next year, in July, we will have summer vacation. Summer vacation But there are two months left. When I return home, I will stick to you every day. I really think that I am the one who misses you more. "

Sheng Yiqing was satisfied and curled her lips: "I'm in Hong Kong these few days. What are you busy with at home?"

Chen Zhuan snorted and laughed, "Busy doing bad things."

This bad thing is a long story. Yu Youyang's client invested in a game company. When he was responsible for due diligence, he also downloaded the game. After a few days, he became more and more addicted, so he simply pulled Chen Zhuan and Chi Wei to play the game online.

Chen Zhuan and Yu Youyang got to know each other because of playing games. During their school years, they often stayed up all night in Internet cafes together. At that time, Chi Wei had no interest in games and was chasing after Lin Shan. This time, Yu Youyang pulled people to play games, and he just wanted to ask Chen Zhuan to join him. He had no hope for an honest and boring man like Chi Wei.

Unexpectedly, that night, after they played a few games, the person who was most addicted turned out to be Chi Wei.

"We played until 2 a.m." Chen Zhuan couldn't help complaining, "Later, Qu Fanyi ordered him to go to bed, so he had to go. As a result, the next morning, around 8 a.m., we were still asleep, and he called us one after another to ask us to go online."

Sheng Yiqing was stunned, "So obsessed?!"

"At first we thought it was novel. We had never seen him so obsessed before, and we were not busy, so whenever he asked us to play, we would immediately go online to play with him. Once we played until 4 a.m., and Qu Fanyi was about to explode."

"Is this game too fun?"

"It's just ordinary." Chen Zhuan shrugged: "Now Mr. Yu doesn't want to play anymore, but Chi Wei is still immersed in the game. I guess, honest people have to have some sustenance. It used to be Lin Shan, but now it's gone, and it's the game."

In late January, the weather in Beijing became mild, and even the winter wind was no longer biting. The bare branches on both sides of the street, and there were more people walking downstairs.

After dinner, Qu Fanyi went downstairs alone for a walk. When she passed by nugget, she saw Qiu Zining under the old locust tree again. Maybe the weather was not so cold. Qiu Zining was wrapped in a thick down jacket that reached her ankles and a plush hat, sitting in her own seat.

Qu Fanyi originally wanted to go in, but after thinking about it, she went home.

As soon as she opened the door, she heard the sound of games coming from the study, accompanied by the sound of fierce keyboard typing, and Qu Fanyi became irritable.

For half a month, Chi Wei plunged into the game as soon as he got off work, completely abandoning his research. She hated Chen Zhuan and Yu Youyang, two bad friends, in an instant, and also understood those parents who reported that games harmed teenagers in an instant.

In her ideal home, the wife is virtuous and the husband is motivated. Only when he works hard can she become a helper.

She stood at the door of the study, and Chi Wei didn't notice it at all. He was hunched over, staring at the screen intently, and the keyboard was being clattered. Qu Fanyi looked at the pair of slender fingers that should have been holding the scalpel, and the back of the head that should have been solving the world's medical problems, and felt heartbroken.

Fortunately, Chi Wei's gaming skills were not good enough. Not long after, the screen went black, and he tapped the mouse hard, letting out a sigh of relief. Turning around, he realized that Qu Fanyi had been standing at the door looking at him.

"Uh, I'm playing too loudly?" He was stunned and was about to pick up the headphones beside him.

Qu Fanyi looked at him calmly: "Let's talk."

Chi Wei looked at her expression and thought something big had happened, so he paused the game and motioned for her to sit in front of him.

Qu Fanyi tapped her phone and handed it over: "This is what your father forwarded on his WeChat Moments today. There is an application program for visiting scholars at Stanford. I took a look and found that your qualifications are basically in line with the requirements, but the number of papers is a little less. This program is available this year and next year. If you work harder and publish more SCI papers, you can apply for this program next year."

Chi Wei was stunned. He had heard of this program before and knew that the competition was fierce. In addition, his conditions were indeed far behind those of other candidates, so he didn't pay much attention to it. Seeing Qu Fanyi's expression, he didn't quite understand: "Why should I go to Stanford?"

"Why?" Qu Fanyi was speechless: "Because it's Stanford! Three years of visiting scholars, money sponsored by the state. You are just an attending physician now. According to the fierce competition in your hospital, you may need more than 10 years. You can only be promoted to associate professor after that, but if you fight for this project, you can advance the time for promotion to associate professor later. "

Chi Wei was even more confused and laughed, "Why should I be promoted to associate professor in advance? Can't I do it step by step?"

"Don't people want to make progress? !"

Chi Wei was puzzled: "Chen Zhuan wanted to study in the United States, and Sheng Yiqing was so angry that she divorced him several times. You are so awesome that you keep pushing me to the United States."

Qu Fanyi was anxious: "This is different. Sheng Yiqing has a job, but I don't. I am here to serve you and this family. Moreover, I can go with you on this project, and we can have a baby in the United States, so that the baby can learn bilingual from an early age, and it will be easier to enter an international elementary school when we return to China."

Chi Wei became more and more confused as he listened: "Why do you want to go to the United States?

International primary school? Aren't ordinary primary schools good? "

Qu Fanyi raised her eyebrows: "How can our children go to ordinary primary schools?" At this point, she looked at Chi Wei seriously and said as patiently as possible: "Weiwei, we have a long way to go. Although the starting point is good, we still have to work hard and move up little by little. It was good before. You were doing research and writing papers every day after get off work. I really felt very relieved and motivated, but these days, you play games every day. Every time I go home, I feel irritated. "

Chi Wei was stunned for a few seconds, and then sighed and said: "I'll wear headphones now."

Qu Fanyi blurted out: "It's not the headphones that are the problem, you shouldn't play games at all."

"?" Chi Wei was stunned, thinking he had heard it wrong.

Qu Fanyi thought for a while, "Well, doesn't the game have a minor mode? I'll set one for you, so that you can only play for two hours each time. You play twice a week, and after the paper is published, you can be rewarded with two hours. "

Chi Wei frowned involuntarily.

"How about you play twice a week? Forget it, two weeks, three times in two weeks?"

Chi Wei still looked at her with incredible eyes.

Qu Fanyi stopped talking.

After a while, Chi Wei pulled the corner of his mouth: "Xiaoyi, you look like this, I would think you are my mother. No, my mother didn't let me be so ambitious. If you want to be ambitious, why don't you do it yourself? Because you don't like it?"

Qu Fanyi had never seen such a mean Chi Wei. She opened her mouth, choked in her chest, and couldn't speak.

Chi Wei stopped looking at her, rubbed the mouse, turned on the screen, and entered the game while typing on the keyboard, dragging his voice and said:

"We are already good enough, Xiaoyi. Living in such a big house, driving a good car, and eating well every day, what else do you want? If we have to talk about being motivated, I am the one who works hard outside every day, stands for 5 hours of surgery, and has to read cases and write papers after work every day, right? And what did you do? "He shrugged and added lightly: "You just enjoy yourself at home every day."
