Chapter 44 Dawn - Evening Wind
Wu Yusi didn't have a chance to rest at all, and went to the company within a few days. The wound on her ear was still the color of the medicine, and she had a mournful face.

No one dared to make a sound in the entire conference room, and no one ordered food after lunch time. Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and the atmosphere was almost frozen.

Jiang Limei raised her head from the computer, spoke first, and deliberately relaxed her tone:

"Don't be in a daze. Being in a daze can't solve the problem. Let's summarize the progress in hand first, and we have numbers for each other."

The curator company sent them a lawyer's letter, demanding compensation on the grounds of delayed delivery and Party B's failure to perform the contract.The delay in delivery was due to the damage of the warehouse. Jiang Limei had nothing to say, but she did not perform the contract, referring to the refusal of the ip secondary creation.

Wu Yusi poked his forehead weakly: "I really explained to them countless times that the ownership of the IP is abroad, not to mention the difficulty in communication. Well, we can't get the authorization, and even if we get it, we can't make it. Conceptual products It is a completely different concept from retail products, and they are taking advantage of us."

There is a huge difference in design costs between concept products not for sale and retail products.

Both Jiang Limei and Wu Yusi understood that the purpose of Party A's lawyer's letter was not to sue and go through legal procedures. They had no loss, and their real purpose was to suppress the final payment.

They have met many colleagues in the past few years since they started the company. They have heard of similar methods, but this is the first time they have encountered them head-on.

Some employees were very aggrieved: "Sister Sisi, shouldn't we accept this order at the beginning? Ever since we accepted the order, there have been constant troubles. Either there is a problem here, or there is a problem there. They have no cooperative attitude at all."

Jiang Limei and Wu Yusi glanced at each other, Jiang Limei stood up and stretched her waist: "It's okay, you will learn your wisdom from a pitfall, at least we will know what supplementary clauses to add to the contract next time."

She is the boss, so she can only stand up to stabilize the morale of the army at this time.

The average age of the company's employees is young. Jiang Limei's first consideration when recruiting is that young people are more likely to play tricks. The second point is, frankly speaking, because college students who have just graduated from school have low salaries, she wants to control the cost of employment.

The side effect of being young is that you have less history. Jiang Limei was about to cry when she saw the intern across the table.

She went around the table and massaged the little girl's shoulders with both hands:

"Don't be nervous, even if we lose money, we can still afford it. Sisi and I plan to take everyone on a trip at the end of this year. We will do what we say. This is just a small episode, what a big deal."

Jiang Limei didn't know, but she was a bit taller in the hearts of her younger brothers and sisters.There is a newly recruited bp, junior Jiang Limei, who just graduated from Yangcheng Academy of Fine Arts and is one of the few boys in the company. Following Jiang Limei's example, the junior stood up and gave a big yawn:

"Boss is right, we. We can't live with this order. I'm sorry for wasting time. I'm going to work. This is directly related to whether we will go to the suburbs of Lingshi or Hokkaido for our trip at the end of the year."

"Hokkaido? Isn't Kagoshima the place where your ex-girlfriend studied abroad?" Someone interrupted.

"Who said I'm going to find her? I haven't thought about it for a long time."

"Ah? Drinking some cat urine last weekend and crying like a grandson in the office, who is it?" The atmosphere finally improved, and someone shouted Jiang Limei: "Boss! Adjust the surveillance!"

The entrepreneurial team has a good atmosphere, and most of the partners are single. There are often people gathering in the office on working nights and weekends. Jiang Limei doesn't stop it, she thinks it's good.

"Wait, check it right away." Jiang Limei also got playful, and actually went to the public computer to check the online monitoring, and a group of people gathered around the screen to watch.The other two young men supported a few juniors who were screaming: "Sister! Don't!"

late.

In the surveillance, the elementary school boy put his legs on the desk, obviously drunk, with a pitiful appearance trapped by love, his hair that had been scratched by hairspray fell down, and he grabbed another person and chattered endlessly.

"Damn it, that's it! Boss! This grandson told me that his ex-girlfriend went to study in Japan, and he wanted to go too. His nose rubbed against my hand. It's disgusting."

The primary school boy's tone was a little anxious: "I didn't!" Then he looked at Jiang Limei: "Boss, I don't want to resign."

Jiang Limei watched the excitement: "It's okay, it's good to pursue love while you are young. If when I was your age, some boys chased me abroad, I would definitely be moved."

"No, we agreed to break up peacefully at the beginning, so it would be shameless for me to pester him any longer."

"It's not about having face or shame. If you can't let it go, you have to chase after it. Otherwise, you'll be a lifelong stalk and you won't be able to get over it."

Wu Yusi stood up holding the computer, and shook the phone: "Let's go, I've made a reservation, I'll go downstairs to eat hot pot, chat while eating, today's emotional situation."

The more this is the case, the more we must unite as one. Jiang Limei's annual team building fee is not low. Like Wu Yusi, she is eager to turn the company into a real group.

They used to work in small groups, but now they can form their own big groups, which is very fulfilling.

It was past meal time, and there were not many customers in the hot pot restaurant downstairs. They occupied the largest table and ordered two mandarin duck pots. The topic of the dinner was really about feelings.

Everyone is giving advice to the juniors, and there are some dramas about chasing love across borders.

Through the steaming hot pot mist, Jiang Limei suddenly felt the power of time.Time will change a lot. Many love affairs are described as earth-shattering at the end. In fact, looking back a few years later, they are just ordinary.

She couldn't eat spicy food and was afraid of stomach pain, so she only picked up a few chopsticks and got up to pay the bill first. Wu Yusi followed and stood in front of the cash register and asked her:
"Let's forget about the order? Compensation?"

After scanning the QR code, Jiang Limei said calmly, "I made an appointment online with a lawyer who is good at contract disputes. I'll check with you tomorrow."

Sure enough, it was still Jiang Limei, who would not be dumb if she ate anything. Wu Yusi felt relieved and asked her, "What time is it tomorrow? I'll go with you."

Tomorrow is the weekend, but the lawyer Jiang Limei made an appointment with online does not rest.She filled in the invoice information and put the phone back in her bag: "No, I can go alone. Don't you have dinner at home on weekends?"

Wu Yusi's family has many relatives, and they are in close contact with each other. They have family gatherings almost every Saturday.Wu Yusi clicked his tongue:
"Okay, then call me if you have something to do. Originally, my mother told you to come and have dinner at home."

Jiang Limei smiled, her elder relationship is really good, Aunt Niu even sent her a message last night, and invited her to eat boiled mutton at home.

"Thank you, Auntie, for me. I'll go and see her after I've been busy for a while."

"to make."

After eating until after four o'clock in the afternoon, the group returned to the office with a smell of hot pot.Jiang Limei turned on the air purifier, but felt that it was not enough, so she opened the window again.

The summer wind is hot, with a strong smell of vegetation. Below the office building is a row of huge elm street trees with flourishing branches and leaves.

There was no movement in the group that was connected with the curatorial company, and they simply didn't watch or think about it at all.Fortunately, the museum project is progressing smoothly. Teacher Yuan waited for her to contact the Bureau of Tourism and Cultural Affairs to plan online activities together.

When she was busy, she lost the concept of time, and the battery of the computer showed red. She took off her glasses and looked up from the screen, only to realize that the office had fallen into a quiet darkness.

The seats outside are also empty.

On a romantic summer night, with a little more sensual pleasure on Friday, no one wants to waste time on work.Work is the means of livelihood, and life is her own. Jiang Limei closed the computer and prepared to move the planning to tomorrow.

The air purifier is still running, and there is a blue light in the darkness. While there is no one, she gives herself a cigarette to relax, and proper tobacco makes people happy.

There are many invitations on WeChat, new friends and old friends, whose bar has just opened, where there are three games missing, and a male friend who has not been in touch for a long time asked her if she would like to have a supper.
Jiang Limei feels that she has been living too vegetarian recently, and maybe some thoughts that should not have arisen came out because of the too vegetarian life and nowhere for hormones to vent.

She needs some good nightlife to stimulate a limp heart.

In the past few days, I always think of the hug in the parking lot that night, sometimes in a dream, sometimes in an occasional trance.Ren Yu's crystal-clear eyes flashed in front of her eyes, as if they had been washed in well water.

With such a pair of eyes, you can easily tell any lies, which is convincing, right?
Ren Yu said that he knew about her ten years of ups and downs. Jiang Limei didn't savor this sentence carefully at first, but when she thought about it later, she just thought it was funny.Sure enough, men are all the same species, there are no taboos when courting a mate, and any nonsense will come out when the lips touch each other.

Thinking of this, she suddenly lost interest in the invitations of the opposite sex on her mobile phone. Anyway, she hadn't contacted her for a long time, so she clicked delete friend.

In the company group, the elementary school boy posted a new escape room evaluation and is organizing people.

Jiang Limei has never played escape room before.

In the past few years, secret rooms have been on the rise, and some people in her circle of friends have followed suit and opened stores for escape from secret rooms and script killing, and they don't know if they will lose money or not.

She spoke in the group: [Can you bring me one? 】

The elementary school boy sent a surprised expression, and replied: [Come on, boss, there is just one person missing. 】

Someone else interjected: [Boss, are you honest? 】

What kind of nonsense is this?Jiang Limei didn't understand, she looked down at her thin strappy sandals: 【I wear high heels, can I play? 】

Junior: [Yes, it’s okay, today this is a slight fear, a slight pursuit. 】

He posted the location again in the group, and then chatted privately with Jiang Limei: [Boss, this place is a little hard to find, do you want me to pick you up? 】

Jiang Limei said: [No, I'll be there in half an hour. 】

Check the electrical appliances and switches as usual, and after ensuring safety, lock the office door, and then close the windows of the open workstations one by one.During this period, WeChat rang twice again.

Ren Yu's head portrait is blank, with a few black stick figures, it can be seen that it is a man's back.

At this time, she was holding unread messages, at the top of her chat list.

Jiang Limei clicked on the dialog box, and the first thing she sent was an address location, which was the physical examination center of Ren Yu's hospital.Immediately following the second is Ren Yu's text message:
[Tomorrow weekend, you rest, right? 】

Jiang Limei replied with a question mark.

[Our hospital has physical examinations for the family members of employees twice a year. I have registered your information. If you are off tomorrow, you can go in the morning. Remember to be on an empty stomach, and it will be over in about two hours. 】

Jiang Limei was a little bit confused, and while throwing the odds and ends on the table into her bag, she made a voice call.

It was quickly picked up over there, and Ren Yu's voice was as clean and clear as ever, but it seemed that he was in a busy city, and there were noisy voices from all directions.

"Hey?"

"What do you mean?" Jiang Limei touched up a lip gloss and asked Ren Yu: "I don't know why, why do you want me to have a physical examination?"

"Is your stomach better?"

Jiang Limei was taken aback, she had a bad stomach not every day or two, and she would have trouble every now and then, she had forgotten about it.

"You don't need to arrange it. I arrange physical examinations for our employees every year, and I take part in them every year. I'm fine."

There was silence on the phone for a few seconds.

"External medical checkup packages generally do not include gastroscopy. If the stomach is uncomfortable for a long time, a gastroscopy should be done."

Ren Yu's tone was still calm, but it was different from when he was treating patients.When he went to work, he was as mechanical as a wax figure, as if the white coat was some kind of magical enchantment.

The breath of the gentle evening breeze came from the microphone.What he said was obviously a definite statement, but it didn't make people disgusted after the night.

A new LED screen was installed on the top floor of the shopping mall across the street. At the moment, an advertisement was playing, and colorful light beams were projected over. Jiang Limei stood in front of the window, stepping on shadows under her feet.

She stared at the toe of her shoe: "I don't want to have a gastroscopy."

Stretch a tube in, how uncomfortable.

Ren Yu seemed to know what she was worried about, and said almost at the same time: "The current endoscopy is painless, without any feeling."

After two seconds of silence, Ren Yu said again:
"I'm not forcing you or urging you. It's just that the hospital needs to make an appointment for gastroenteroscopy three months later. There is no queue in the medical examination center yet. It is more convenient for you to use the quota for employees' family members."

Jiang Limei pulled her lower lip: ".Let's talk about it later. I have something to do tomorrow and I won't be able to spare."

"Okay, I'll send you the link and make an appointment online at any time."

"Okay, thank you, Doctor Ren."

The call should have ended here, but neither of the two parties hung up first, and the mobile phone was held like this, Jiang Limei unconsciously slowed down her breathing.

The office is quiet enough to hear a needle drop, and the height of the 16th floor cuts off most of the noise outside the building. On the other hand, Ren Yu's side is full of people's voices, and it seems that there are vehicles honking.

"Where are you?" she asked.

"Jiang Limei." He said.

Speaking at the same time, their voices collided.Jiang Limei laughed twice: "You go ahead."

"Jiang Limei, are you off work?"

Jiang Limei looked at the luminous clock on the table, it was almost eight o'clock.

"It's time to get off work, what?"

"If you don't have a date tonight, can we have dinner together?
No, I have to keep my distance, I can't have dinner with you.

I'm afraid that my lustful heart will break through my reason and do something to you that breaks the moral bottom line, and I'm also afraid that we can't show our love and stop it.

I'm afraid you can't afford it.

Jiang Limei thought so in her heart, but she couldn't say it anyway. After the night in the parking lot, to be precise, when she was embraced by Ren Yu, the smell of laundry detergent on Ren Yu's clothes lingered. into her nasal cavity, she suddenly understood one thing——

She likes anything.

Maybe only a little bit, but its presence cannot be ignored.

A woman's liking for a man may originate anywhere, and it is nothing more than dependence or worship.

Jiang Limei never worshiped Ren Yu.Even though he was so outstanding when he was young and now has a successful career, she is not too bad.Thinking about it this way, it may be a little more dependent.

It's so strange that she has been alone for so many years, and she has never longed for anyone's shoulders and hugs, and she has never been afraid of wars and chaos.

What special magic power does Ren Yu have?
do not know.

"Ren Yu, it's late now."

After thinking about it, she decided to find an excuse:

"I often work overtime at night, and I don't have the habit of eating dinner, and I'm in the East Fourth Ring Road. Come here, and we will find a restaurant later, it will be even later."

She pulled back the last window and screwed the lock: "And it's not rude to make an appointment at least one day in advance."

Having said that, Jiang Limei was not very angry, after all, she often went to appointments or asked others temporarily.

"I sent you WeChat messages last night and this morning." Ren Yu said flatly, "You didn't reply to me."

Jiang Limei was slightly surprised, and immediately scrolled up the chat history. Sure enough, it was probably because the messages on the computer and the phone were not synchronized, so she ignored some information.

".Sorry, I didn't see it."

"It's ok."

There was a little guilt in my heart, and I was angry, but it turned out that the person who was rude was actually herself.

Jiang Limei pursed her lips tightly, tapped the back of the phone with her slender nails, and asked softly, "Where are you now? Are you not on duty tonight?"

"I'm not on duty today." After a few seconds: "Jiang Limei, I'm downstairs."

Stopping her fingers, Jiang Limei subconsciously asked, "I'm downstairs? How do you know where I live?"

Ren Yu said with a smile in his voice: "It's not your house, it's your company. You mentioned the approximate location of your company, and this is the only office building nearby."

Jiang Limei's heart was pounding, she walked quickly back to the window, pushed the window open, and stuck her head out barely:

"I'm on the 16th floor, can you see me?"

Just kidding, how can you see it? Looking down from her height, you can only see the continuous flow of traffic like satin, and the pedestrians are like moving black spots one by one.

The lights of the city are like broken stars, and the night wind smokes people.

The tall and lush elm trees, with branches and leaves connected together, Jiang Limei barely saw a person standing under the shadow of the tree.

Passers-by came and went around, and he stood under the tree, all alone, like the last shade in this hot summer night.

"How long have you waited?"

"It didn't take long, and I came over after get off work."

About two hours?During the dog days, the summer heat accumulated throughout the day is the worst in the evening.Jiang Limei felt that this person was a little too straightforward.

"How do you know I'm not off work? What if I had already left?"

"It's okay, maybe it will wait."

"So what's the matter with you looking for me? Really just to invite me to have a meal?"

"Yes, just for dinner."

Ren Yu answered decisively, only for a moment, and then added:
"Sorry, I won't lie."

Jiang Limei leaned on the window sill with one hand and looked at the direction where the man was standing. A gust of cool evening wind broke through the stagnation and brushed her cheek:
"Jiang Limei, I just want to see you."
