Chapter 114 The Continuing Cold War 1
In the comic exhibition project, because Senior Brother Zhang has his own habits in organizing comic exhibitions and has different ideas from Luo Zi, Xiao Zeng often acts as a lubricant according to Yu Yin's instructions. Senior Brother Zhang needs the opinions of Cheng Meisui and Xiao Zeng more, and Luo Zi is sidelined.
Now Cheng Meisui and Luo Zi are competing with each other, and Senior Brother Zhang doesn't want to pay any attention to him.
After a while, Senior Brother Zhang called Yu Yin and said a few words to her about Luo Zi in a joking tone.
Yu Yin kept trying to comfort Senior Brother Zhang, who finally said it was okay. Every team has its bad apples, and his own team had had more than one before. As long as it didn't affect the overall situation, it was fine. Senior Brother Zhang played a trick on Luo Zi.
If Cheng Meisui and Xiao Zeng were not capable and could handle the situation, Senior Brother Zhang would not only joke about it in private, he would also change studios.
In the afternoon, Luo Zi calmed down a bit, but instead of going to the exhibition venue, he went back to the studio to complain to Yu Yin because he heard from his colleagues that Yu Yin had returned.
Luo Zi complained to Yu Yin: "Zhang Bonan doesn't understand art or curating at all. He always interferes with my design plans..."
She had complained about both Senior Brother Zhang and Cheng Meisui. He originally wanted to talk about Xiao Zeng, but he vaguely felt that Xiao Zeng was sent by Yu Yin to supervise them, so he held back.
Yu Yin felt helpless. Nothing had gone his way in the past two days since returning. "Why are you acting so immature? You just leave without a care in the world and storm out in anger over a disagreement? Your colleagues will have to clean up your mess."
Luo Zi curled his lips and said, "Even if I stayed there, I wouldn't be able to do anything. If I left, they wouldn't be happy enough."
"From the beginning, I warned you not to treat this as your own personal show. He has his own rules, and we are here to assist him. He doesn't need us to take the lead. You even told me you understood and promised to follow Zhang Bonan's opinions."
Luo Zi retorted, "His opinions and ideas were different from my design. He had to make constant revisions during implementation, and all my hard work went to waste. He simply didn't respect me."
"Luo Zi, assist and support, do you understand these two concepts?"
"I know, but I can't stand his ideas."
"Even if you can't bear it, you have to endure it. Work requires compromise. Whether it's an art exhibition or a commercial exhibition, all your designs and plans will not be implemented in a literal and unwritten manner. They will be modified according to the reality. Especially for commercial exhibitions, the needs of the client and the needs of the client's target customers are of paramount importance. If you want to highlight your own ideas, you need to find opportunities and express yourself flexibly. If you insist on being stubborn, the client will not be willing to compromise with you. You care so much about art, but do you understand the art of compromise?"
Luo Zi fell silent and stopped refutation excitedly.
"Go back to the exhibition site now. As long as you want to do something, there will be nothing for you to do there."
"I...I don't want to go back and be bullied."
"If you don't want to be bullied, then get out and go back home."
Luo Zi was stunned for a moment. Although Yu Yin was a year or two younger than him, he was very scared when she got angry.
Luo Zi quickly slid down to his knees and said, "I know I was wrong. I'll go back now."
"I think the comic convention project is a good touchstone. I put you in charge of this project because I have high expectations for you. I want to see what you are capable of and whether you can shoulder this heavy responsibility. I also hope that you can use this opportunity to control your temper and recognize your own problems and weaknesses. Even if you are a late bloomer, you shouldn't be so childish and impulsive as to be like this. It's very disappointing."
Yu Yin gave Luo Zi a slap in the face, then gave him a sweet treat and painted a rosy picture for him.
The grievance in Luo Zi's heart had almost disappeared. He felt that Yu Yin had not abandoned him and she still wanted to cultivate him. He reflected on his impulsiveness and almost let down his boss's expectations.
Some time after Luo Zi left, Xiao Zeng sent a message to Yu Yin, saying that he was back. It was unknown what he said to Senior Brother Zhang, but the tension between them became less intense.
Yu Yin felt that Luo Zi had finally come to his senses and was no longer so stubborn. She was worried that if he continued to be so stubborn, he would ruin the studio's reputation.
Yu Yin was willing to give Luo Zi a chance. He had good abilities and was one of the earliest members of the studio. They had experienced ups and downs together.
Otherwise, if he had just refuted every word and didn't realize his mistakes at all, she would have wanted to fire him on the spot.
Yu Yin's thoughts suddenly drifted back to the argument she had with Zhao Shunian yesterday. They both thought they were not wrong and wanted the other to compromise and bow down.
Yesterday, Zhao Shunian asked Yu Yin if she would be angry if he collected other women's things. This was because he wanted her to put herself in his shoes and think about his feelings from his perspective.
Yu Yin was feeling righteous at the time and didn't want to admit defeat, so she gave a negative answer against her will, saying that she didn't want to share his feelings.
Zhao Shunian increased the dosage. He said those words that day, and then said some other words, meaning to let Yu Yin experience how she would feel if he cheated on her. The roles were reversed and they could empathize with each other. If she cheated on him, he would be countless times more angry than she was.
Thinking of this, Yu Yin cursed inwardly that she had to empathize with such a thing.
Should she give in first? Within a second, Yu Yin had her answer: she didn't. She was already the weaker party in this marriage. If she gave in first, she would have no say.
………
In the evening, Yu Yin changed his clothes and went downstairs for dinner.
When she entered the restaurant, she saw Zhao Shunian sitting at the dining table.
Yu Yin didn't know when Zhao Shunian would come back, and she didn't ask Sister Hong.
Yu Yin thought that Zhao Shunian, having left so angrily yesterday, would not be home for a long time. Unexpectedly, he actually came back and wanted to have dinner at home.
The two of them didn't speak, not even making eye contact.
Yu Yin felt that it was better to have a cold war or separate and not be in the same space. It was very difficult to be face to face.
Fortunately, Zhao Shunian did not appear in front of her after dinner. He stayed in the study.
At around ten o'clock, Yu Yin sat on the bed and browsed her mobile phone, waiting for her to go to bed later.
Suddenly, the door opened and Zhao Shunian walked in. He was lying on the other side of the bed.
Yu Yin couldn't ignore him concentrating on playing with his phone, so she put her phone on the bedside table, turned off the bedside lamp, and lay down to sleep.
Yu Yin felt that she couldn't suffer from insomnia tonight. If Zhao Shunian knew that she couldn't sleep because of their quarrel, wouldn't she be at a disadvantage in front of him?
She tried hard to sleep, but found that she still couldn't fall asleep. She recalled the hypnosis tricks she had learned today and used them one by one. Her competitive spirit made her fall asleep unknowingly.
Zhao Shunian couldn't fall asleep. He felt Yu Yin's steady breathing, and his mood plummeted again. She was so generous, and she slept soundly. Perhaps she didn't care about the quarrel yesterday and didn't take him seriously...
In the first round, Yu Yin won.
