Chapter 22: You want to... go on a blind date?
The new design drawing received initial approval from the client, and Lin Xu and Teng Qiu spent another two days to produce the overall rendering.
The final result depends on the customer's feedback.
The two of them were only responsible for the design part and did not have the customer's direct contact information, so they could only send it to Han Jingyi first and let him communicate with the customer.
This inevitably requires a meeting with Han Jingyi.
Lin Xu was absolutely unwilling.
As soon as he saw him, Lin Xu thought of the wicked things he and Shen Xinji had done before, and he wanted to punch him.
But then I thought, I didn't do anything wrong from beginning to end, so why should he hide?
After adjusting their mindsets, Lin Xu and Teng Qiu went to the office to find Han Jingyi.
I explained to him the overall design concept and some highlights to facilitate his communication with customers.
Han Jingyi looked at Lin Xu deeply, and Lin Xu did not dodge and looked back at him.
Han Jingyi smiled: "Okay, I thought you were going to quit."
"Why shouldn't I do it? We made this design, and you said you'd give us a bonus regardless of the outcome."
Lin Xu can't get along with anything now, but he will get along with money.
But this money must be earned by yourself so that you can spend it with peace of mind.
"Just because of what you said, and because I've done something wrong to you before, I'll definitely work hard to get this order, and I'll give it to you along with the bonus and commission."
Han Jingyi's words came from the heart.
He knew that Lin Xu would not forgive him easily, so he could only slowly make him believe it.
Anyway, the person is under my nose, so there is still a lot of time to come.
Han Jingyi carefully studied the renderings with Lin Xu and Teng Qiu, then smiled confidently, "I think there will be no problem."
Teng Qiu also felt that with Lin Xu's joining, this order would definitely be won.
"Are you two serious? Ma Xun is a top-tier designer, his designs can't be weak."
Teng Qiu shook his finger. "That was in the past. I've been working as an assistant in his group. I know full well he's run out of ideas. He once plagiarized my designs and passed them off as his own. But I was too insignificant to speak out, and no one believed me. He used his seniority to pressure me, so I had no choice but to endure it."
"ah?"
Lin Xu couldn't believe it. Although he had the courage to defeat Ma Xun, he was his goal during his student days after all, so Lin Xu always had a filter for Ma Xun.
But he trusted Teng Qiu in front of him more than Ma Xun, whom he had never met.
After getting to know her over the past few days, Lin Xu had no doubts about Teng Qiu's ability, and even felt a little sorry that she had been working as an assistant to Ma Xun.
Teng Qiu is fully capable of standing on his own, but he lacks self-confidence.
It turns out that this happened because he had been suppressed by Ma Xun.
Lin Xu's filter for Ma Xun was shattered.
Han Jingyi also agreed with Teng Qiu's statement: "How else do you think he has the ability to leave so easily? We just turned a blind eye. It's a waste of resources for people like him to stay in the company. If he behaves himself, considering his many years of dedication to the company, the company will give him reasonable treatment and allow him to retire."
"It's a pity that people are always dissatisfied. Don't blame the company for being ruthless and ungrateful to him."
"Don't be too optimistic. He has been in this business for so many years, he will definitely be able to find help." Lin Xu reminded kindly.
Han Jingyi saw that Lin Xu was giving him a good face, and said happily: "Don't worry, I have always asked someone to keep an eye on him, and I am very confident in your design."
Lin Xu immediately retracted his friendly expression.
Han Jingyi: ...
Tengqiu: Wow, interesting.
Friday afternoon.
Colleagues are discussing a newly released movie.
After listening to this, Lin Xu felt a little eager.
I wonder if Zhou Yan would agree if he asked her to go to the movies with him this weekend?
The temptation to go out and watch a movie with Zhou Yan is too great.
The more he thought about it, the more itched he became. Lin Xu struggled for the entire afternoon and finally booked the ticket before getting off work.
He was afraid that if he didn't book a ticket, he would not dare to speak again when he saw Zhou Yan.
Booking a ticket and blocking your own retreat is equivalent to pushing yourself.
Anyway, there are two or three boys among my colleagues who go to the movies together, which is normal.
Lin Xu brainwashed himself and mustered up the courage to punch out.
Zhou Yan was already waiting for him in the parking lot.
As soon as Lin Xu got in the car, he asked, "Brother, do you have any plans for the weekend?"
Zhou Yan sighed: "I have a dinner party on Saturday."
Lin Xu felt disappointed for a moment, but immediately regained his composure.
Otherwise, just change the ticket to Sunday. I don’t have anything to do in those two days anyway.
But before he could say anything, Zhou Yan continued, "At my age, it seems like everyone around me is more anxious about my life than I am. I'm inexplicably dragged on blind dates. It's better to be young. I don't have these worries."
Lin Xu's head buzzed.
"You want to... go on a blind date...?"
Zhou Yan steered with one hand and said with a wry smile, "Yes, a client recommended it to me. I can't turn it down. It would be rude not to go."
"What kind of girl is she?" Lin Xu asked casually, holding the seat belt.
"I don't know. I've never seen it."
"Oh, that's great. Let's meet, maybe we'll hit it off."
"I hope so." Zhou Yan had a very low hope for this probability report, and this sentence was just perfunctory.
He agreed to go just to save his client's face and had no intention of actually having a girlfriend.
He asked himself if he had the mood or ability to do so at the moment, otherwise he would not have lost his ex-girlfriend.
Otherwise he wouldn't have hired a roommate.
But the meaning of these words changed in Lin Xu's ears.
Zhou Yan is a straight man and is at the age to get married.
In the future he will have a wife and children and enjoy the warmth and happiness of family.
Where did I go wrong?
Do you regard Zhou Yan's kindness to you as hope for further development?
Lin Xu bit his lip, feeling a sour feeling in his heart.
Zhou Yan realized it later: "You just asked me about my weekend plans, is there anything going on?"
Lin Xu shook his head: "No, just asking casually."
"oh."
Lin Xu didn't say anything along the way, staring out the window in a daze.
Zhou Yan just thought that the topic of blind dates made him think of his ex-girlfriend again, and didn't take it to heart.
The first thing Lin Xu did when he got home was to heat up the Chinese medicine and drink it.
、
This is the last bag of this treatment, why is there no effect at all?
Didn’t he meet a quack doctor?
"Don't you always drink before going to bed? Why are you drinking so early today?" Zhou Yan was also surprised.
"I'm just thirsty." Lin Xu said nonsense.
"Um?"
I've never seen anyone use medicine to quench thirst. This medicine smells awfully bitter.
That would have been fine. Zhou Yan cooked Lin Xu's favorite dishes for dinner, but Lin Xu didn't eat much and it was obvious that he had a poor appetite.
"What's wrong with you? Did you get heatstroke again? Tell me right away if you feel unwell, okay?" Zhou Yan walked to Lin Xu with concern and raised his hand to touch his forehead.
Lin Xu took a step back.
"No, maybe I'm tired from working during the day, so I'll just go to bed early today."
"Okay, then go take a shower and go to bed early. If you feel uncomfortable, you can always knock on my door."
"Um."
Lin Xu lowered his head and returned to his bedroom.
