strange i love you

Chapter 5 We must be the nemesis (2)
After hearing the director's words, Lin Youxi came out of the meeting room and rushed to call the client.After hearing her explaining her intentions, the other party paused and politely refused: "I'm sorry, Ms. Lin, I know you have paid a lot for this project, but we are already signing a contract with another company. If there is an opportunity in the future, we will continue to cooperate.”

"Then have you signed a contract?" Lin Youxi asked without giving up.

"This, not yet."

"Since you haven't signed a contract, you should compete fairly. You also hope that your product advertisements will be the best and get the most publicity. I know that the other party has won the Clio International Award, but who will watch the advertisements? Has the person in charge ever won an award!"

The other party was almost moved by Lin Youxi's words, and finally changed his words: "Then let me ask the general manager what he means, and I'll reply to you later, okay?"

Lin Youxi quickly replied: "Okay, okay, you must truthfully tell your manager what I just said."

Throughout the morning, Lin Youxi has been staring at the phone, as if possessed.Obviously she was still clamoring to resign and didn't want to continue working, but now she is more nervous about this project than anyone else.

No call.At noon, Lin Youxi went to the cafeteria to eat dejectedly. When she was in line, Zheng Tao was standing in front of her. When she saw his back, she felt angry. If it wasn't for him, the project might have been settled.

At this time, a person was suddenly inserted in the front, and the team retreated back. Zheng Tao just stepped on Lin Youxi's foot.

"Hey——" Lin Youxi couldn't help crying out in pain.

Just as Zheng Tao wanted to apologize, when he turned around and saw that it was Lin Youxi, he said, "Why are you?"

Lin Youxi couldn't help but give him a blank look: "Who else could it be if it wasn't me!"

In the end, Zheng Tao helped her cook and put the plate in front of her: "Does your foot still hurt?"

In fact, it doesn't matter if you step on it, but Lin Youxi said deliberately: "It hurts to death, I guess it will be disabled."

Zheng Tao knew that she was doing it on purpose, so he ate his food and pretended to be serious and said, "If you are disabled, you will be counted as a work-related injury. If the company doesn't support you, I will support you."

Zhao Zixin, who was seated next to her, happened to hear these words, and she turned her head and looked at the two of them ambiguously.Lin Youxi blushed and choked on the food in her mouth in embarrassment.

In the afternoon, when Lin Youxi went to the bathroom, she happened to meet Zhao Zixin. She was applying her makeup in front of the mirror, and she was going to meet a client soon.

"You seem to have a good relationship with the newly appointed PR manager." Zhao Zixin suddenly said this sentence when Lin Youxi was washing her hands. It was neither salty nor bland, and she couldn't understand the meaning of her words.

"Yeah." Lin Youxi took out a piece of paper and wiped it, "I picked him up on the first day he came to the company, so he might be a little more familiar."

Zhao Zixin turned around in the mirror after painting her lipstick. She was wearing a tight knee-length black dress today, but because of her plump figure, she didn't look thin but gave people an old-fashioned feeling.But the clothes on Zhao Zixin are very expensive. Lin Youxi heard from Wu Feier that the clothes on Zhao Zixin were all foreign goods. Lin Youxi couldn't remember the brands she mentioned, but only heard the numbers. Suddenly frightened.It's not that expensive to add up her whole body.

Lin Youxi's surprised expression was completely expected by Wu Feier: "Is it completely invisible?" Wu Feier smiled teasingly, "She is the most tasteless person in the whole company. Does it look good if it's expensive, authentic style of country ladies."

Wu Fei'er's mouth is really poisonous, and Lin Youxi couldn't help laughing when she heard the word "country lady style".Last time Wu Fei'er teased the director that the new bag she bought looked like a sack carried by an old grandmother, and last time she said that a certain girl in the administration department looked like Nanny Rong. Anyway, almost everyone in the company was treated badly by her. Thinking of this Lin Youxi still couldn't help but gasped, maybe she didn't know how to arrange in front of others.

When it was almost time to get off work, Lin Youxi finally received the call she had been waiting for all day.The other party told her on the other end of the phone: "I told the general manager, and he expressed his apologies for this incident, so he wants your two teams to compete together, and then we will choose one of the two."

This project was originally only handed over to Lin Youxi's company. Now that there is an extra competitor for no reason, the pressure will definitely increase, but it is better than ending it before it starts.

Lin Youxi agreed to the proposal, but the director seemed to be lacking in confidence, propped his head on his hands and said, "Why don't we give up this project, the chances of winning are not high, so don't waste your energy."

Lin Youxi came up stubbornly: "Leave this project to me alone. I will follow up other projects at the same time, and I promise there will be no delay."

The director had a look of incomprehension: "Is this project so important to you?"

This time, Lin Youxi was stunned. Compared with other projects, this project was just an ordinary project. She was a little confused when she was so serious all of a sudden.

The director leaned his head back on the chair, changed his tone and said: "If you can win this project, the company will give you a 5.00% commission." After speaking, he looked at Lin Youxi with admiration. I haven't paid much attention to this girl. Firstly, she looks ordinary and has no memories. Second, she rarely speaks every time her colleagues get together. The only memory is that she said last time that the clothes she bought don't look good.

The director's words were undoubtedly a shot in the arm, and Lin Youxi immediately became motivated.She went back to the computer desk and took out the plan to revise and reorganize it, trying to make it more perfect.It was already very late when I returned home at night, Qin Zhihao was already asleep, Lin Youxi didn't dare to turn on the light for fear of disturbing him, so she only turned on a small desk lamp.

Lin Youxi went into the kitchen lightly, ordered a bowl of noodles to eat, and flipped through the documents while sucking the noodles.Now there is only one piece of brand PR advice for the company, which undoubtedly needs to be consulted with Zheng Tao.Holding the pen in her hand, Lin Youxi tapped on the table continuously, feeling restless in her heart.He didn't even realize when Qin Zhihao got up and stood behind him.

When Qin Zhihao spoke, Lin Youxi was taken aback: "Aren't you sleeping yet?"

"Are you awake? Did I disturb you?"

Qin Zhihao shook his head, sat down beside him, and stared at Lin Youxi for a long time.Lin Youxi was stared at strangely, and asked him: "What's wrong?"

Qin Zhihao hesitated for a while and finally said, "I've been thinking about a question recently."

"what is the problem?"

"Should we make a down payment together for a small apartment?"

"Huh?" Lin Youxi took a breath, "Where did we get the money—"

"Shall we go to the bank for a loan?"

The pen in Lin Youxi's hand fell to the ground, and she bent down to pick it up.Qin Zhihao's words are still ringing in my ears: "I thought about it, we have been together for so long and we are considered stable, and we will get married sooner or later. Why don't we pay for a house first, and we have to give money to others every month where we live now. Why don't we buy a house?" Set up your own house."

Of course Lin Youxi wants to own her own house, and every time she moves, this idea becomes even more serious.But they have just started working not long ago, and they have no savings at all.Lin Youxi has been educated since she was a child that no matter how poor she is, she should not overspend, so when all her friends around her started to get credit cards, she was the only one who strongly opposed this way of spending.Spending tomorrow's money today is really insecure.She would rather live in poverty than consume in advance.

Seeing Lin Youxi's hesitation, Qin Zhihao went on to say: "My parents will pay part of the money, you can ask your parents, they will be happy to help us when they know we want to buy a house."

Lin Youxi was still a little hesitant, looked down at the plan on the table, and thought of what the director said if he got this project, he would get 5.00% performance.With the 5.00% performance bonus and her own savings, it would be enough for her and Qin Zhihao's parents to contribute a little each.

"Let me think about it." Lin Youxi said, "I haven't finished the work at hand, can we talk about these things later?"

"No." Qin Zhihao didn't mean to end, "I have a friend who happens to work in the sales department. If we buy now, we can get a discount."

Lin Youxi frowned involuntarily. She knew Qin Zhihao's personality very well. He must have been influenced by something when he suddenly proposed to buy a house.

"What happened to you?" Lin Youxi asked.

Qin Zhihao lit a cigarette in frustration, Lin Youxi got up and opened the window, and when she came back, she fanned the air in the room with her hand: "Can you quit smoking, you didn't see the news that the whole family got lung cancer from smoking Is it?"

"It's a class reunion in a few days."

"Huh?" Lin Youxi completely forgot about it. After graduating from university, her former classmates would hold a reunion every year, and the venue was always at home.

"This time at our house."

"What?" Lin Youxi's eyes widened. She usually blocks the crowd, so she didn't read the news in Q. Why did she decide the venue to be held at their home?

Qin Zhihao sighed: "They said that we were the only couples in the class before, and insisted that they want to come to our house to celebrate. I said our house is too small, but they didn't listen."

"It's too impulsive to pay a down payment for a house for this reason!" Lin Youxi said, "Besides, we can think of other ways, such as renting a venue somewhere, why do we have to swell our faces to pretend to be fat!"

"That's not the case." Qin Zhihao blushed, "I've always planned to buy a house, so why not take advantage of it now."

Lin Youxi turned the pen and felt her head hurt, she pressed her forehead and put down the pen: "Let's talk about this tomorrow, I'm really tired."

Seeing her like this, Qin Zhihao could only give up temporarily, put out the cigarette butt in his hand and stood up: "Don't go to bed too late."

Lin Youxi changed the plan to three o'clock in the morning, her mind was buzzing and she couldn't function, so she walked to the bed in a daze and fell down.The alarm clock rang three times in the morning, and Qin Zhihao urged her to get up quickly while getting dressed and tie.

"I'll sleep a little longer."

"By the way, let's have dinner together tonight."

Seeing that Lin Youxi didn't respond, Qin Zhihao walked over and put his head close to her ear: "Come back early at night, let's go out for dinner together."

Lin Youxi said "Hum", but there was no response.

Although there were thousands of people who were unwilling, Lin Youxi still bit the bullet and went to find Zheng Tao.Knock him on Q, and after a while, he replied that there is no problem, but I am very busy now, so I guess I will have to wait until after get off work.Lin Youxi said that as long as he wanted, it would be fine.

At noon, when the QQ profile picture lit up, Lin Youxi thought it was a colleague looking for her, but when she clicked on it, she found out that it was her friend Lu Li whom she hadn't contacted for a long time.The two used to be very good friends in college, but after graduating from college, Lu Li went abroad to study with her boyfriend, and gradually lost contact.
