Slime and Cardboard

82

On the first day of returning to work, the technical department was so busy that they fainted, and the single cycle was a symphony composed of one after another and violent keyboard tapping.Majestic.

A young man with a neat suit and elegant demeanor walked in, and his little niece followed behind him.He walked around in a circle, as if he was inspecting.The programmers thought he was here to communicate their needs, and a well-meaning person pointed to the office of the technical director in his busy schedule.

The young man knocked on the open door.

"Come in," said the technical director, staring at the screen intently, wishing to transform into an octopus, using every tentacles.He didn't pay attention to anyone coming.

The little niece patted him on the shoulder.

"Wait a minute, now, it's the key point." The technical director didn't raise his head, and his subordinates kept on working.

The little niece was about to speak out, but the young man stopped her.After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, the technical director turned around and was a little dazed when he saw an unfamiliar face: "Who are you?"

The little niece introduced with a tone of hatred for iron and steel: "This is Mr. Liang, our partner."

"Oh, what can I do for you?" said the technical director.

"It's nothing, come and have a look, visit and study." Mr. Liang slowly looked around the whole room, saw the layout of those dead houses, the corner of his mouth twitched, and asked: "These are all yours?"

The technical director nodded: "Yes."

Mr. Liang asked again: "The ones outside?" referring to the fancy dead house decorations on the programmers' workstations and in the entire department.

The technical director said, "Oh, they made those themselves."

Mr. Liang thought about it for a while, and said, "It's very... unique."

The technical director said: "Thank you. Mr. Liang, I'm very busy here today. If you don't see it, let's talk later."

Mr. Liang smiled: "Okay." He led the little niece out of the technical department.

Before leaving, I took another careful look at the entire office area.

lunch break.President office.

The president and technical director are eating takeaway.Mr. Liang knocked on the door and came in.

"So fast?" The president put down his chopsticks and greeted the visitor.Then he said to the technical director: "You eat first, don't wait for me." He took Mr. Liang to the small meeting room.

"I haven't eaten yet." President Liang complained as he walked.

The door of the small conference room was closed.

"Then you can come back in the afternoon after dinner," the president said.

"Okay, let's get down to business first." Mr. Liang became serious, and seriously began to analyze and summarize the results of his visit.From the professional point of view of business management, he put forward many pertinent opinions. The last one is: "Your company system is not strict enough. I understand that you are considering the happiness index of employees, but once Liang's capital is injected and the scale is expanded, the first thing is to look good. Shareholders, the second is to build a corporate culture, standardize the behavior of employees in the company, improve efficiency, and reduce the possibility of confusion.”

"for example?"

"There are regulations on attendance but poor enforcement. Non-busy business departments are generally not punctual, and it all depends on employees' self-discipline. The dress code for front posts is not standardized. Some office areas are too stylized, appearing unprofessional and not commercialized," said Here, Mr. Liang observed the president's expression, and continued, "For example, the technical department."

The president raised his eyebrows, but didn't express his opinion.

Mr. Liang leaned forward and said with a smile: "Okay, we're done talking about business. Let's talk about something else. The Haoyouqian Hotel in Tokyo is also a partner of Liang's, you know? I heard very interesting gossip over there "The young man rolled his eyes, interested, "I heard that there was a male guest in the executive suite who asked to set off fireworks in downtown Tokyo, and finally the hotel burned fairy sticks for the guest for half an hour."

"So?" The president's signature expressionless face continued to operate.

"I was just thinking, which lady has this honor," Mr. Liang said with a smile, "or which gentleman?"

The president frowned.

"Don't be nervous, you have been making girlfriends all the time, I didn't expect you to be too... I said earlier that I don't need to waste so many years."

The president Chuanzi frowned: "Don't make it difficult for uncle and aunt. I didn't hear anything."

Mr. Liang stood up, tidied up his appearance gracefully, and blinked one eye, one hundred thousand volts.Before he left, he said: "There will be a long time to come, we are very suitable, you will understand."

The technical director walked into the meeting room and said, "Are you done? Come and have dinner."

"I do not want to eat."

"Uh... didn't you have a good appetite just now?"

"It's disgusting."

Mr. Liang's laughter echoed in the corridor.

84

"Boss Liang is here." The little niece reported through the inside line.

"No, say I'm not here." The president said.

two hours later.

The president checked the time and called the technical director: "Where is it?"

"Ah, I'm having dinner with Mr. Liang outside." The technical director was a little noisy.

"I haven't eaten yet." The president was a little upset.

On the other end of the phone, Mr. Liang's cheap jokes could be vaguely heard.

"Huh? He said he was looking for you and you're not here."

"I...yes, not here. You can eat."

The president hung up the phone and made an internal call: "Order a takeaway for one person."

The little niece said: "Lunch break, not here."

Truly lonely.

85

"Mr. Liang is here again." The little niece reported through the inside line.

"Let him come up," said the president.

"He went to the technical director and said he would go up later."

The president thought for a while and decided in a short time: Then I will go down.

From a distance, I saw the two people in the director's office talking and laughing, their eyebrows beaming.The moment the president walked in, the tacit understanding between the two stopped.

"What are you talking about?" The president asked a rare question.

"Secret." Mr. Liang said frivolously, winking at the technical director.

The technical director nodded, looking a little embarrassed.

The CEO's heart: Damn it.

The heart of the technical director: Fortunately, we were not found to be talking about the president's childhood.

86

Mr. Liang came to walk around every day, and even talked to himself and joined the two-person lunch delivery group run by the president.

Due to the many years of friendship between the two, and the fact that this potential investor is genuine, the CEO has nothing to do with him.

"Are you this annoying before?" The CEO searched hard in his memory.

Mr. Liang rolled his eyes, "Except for our parents' situation, we never had a chance to meet each other before." His eyes rolled again, "It's a pity."

The technical director bit his tongue and let out a cry of pain.

The president handed over a glass of water.

Mr. Liang stuck very close, and said with concern: "Put it out and have a look, is it bleeding?"

"It's okay..." the technical director said vaguely.

"You're too cute, and you'll bite your tongue when you eat." Mr. Liang joked, seeing that he was still able to speak, and there shouldn't be a big problem.

The technical director blushed out of shame and embarrassment.In the eyes of the president, that's not the case anymore.

"Come with me." The president pulled Mr. Liang to the next meeting (xiao) meeting (hei) room (wu) with a dark face, using a little force.

"Why? Although I don't object to you doing anything to me, it's best to tell me first to protect my self-esteem." Mr. Liang still smiled.Rather, he was even more excited.

abnormal.

The president asked: "When will your investment inspection end?"

Mr. Liang said: "It's over early. Didn't I tell you all the conclusions that day, and the official report will be given to you in the next two days."

The other party was so frank, the president was a little stunned for a moment: "Then how many days have you been?"

President Liang said, "I'm here to find you."

"Find me?"

Mr. Liang's expression was a little sad: "You won't really forget it. Well, then I will say it in a way that you won't forget. You see, our two families are family friends and people in the same circle. Yes Isn't it rare? I guarantee that I don't have any hard flaws. Do you want to try this relationship with me." Speaking of the last half sentence, Mr. Liang boldly sat directly on the CEO's lap, and a pair of peach blossom eyes sparked at him.

"Get down." The president tried to break free from him, but the man held him firmly, and it was difficult to get away for a while.

"No," Mr. Liang teased meanly, "You can shout."

"Okay, I'll call the straight man next door over."

Mr. Liang immediately stood still and said, "I have nothing to do. I'll go first. Goodbye."

87

At the door of the house, the technical director was horrified to see his mother pulling the suitcase.

"Mom? Why are you here?"

"I'm on vacation to see how you're doing."

"Why don't you open a hotel nearby, it's not convenient to live here."

"What's the inconvenience?"

The key turns and the door opens.

Seeing the scene in front of her, the director's mother said sincerely: "You should go back to Tokyo with me."

88

Because of a pestering mother, the technical director had to rush home after work every day, even at noon.

The boss tried his best to work remotely even when working overtime, causing the technical department to cry out with envy: Did the boss betray the organization Jinwuzangjiao!Someone with good intentions put paper green hats on the figurines in his office.

The technical director looked at it and shook his head.

The little niece lost her temper when she saw it with a smile, and put away all the little green hats in one hand. She was sitting in the office outside the president's office and was playing with it happily.

The president stared suspiciously.

"Oh, this belongs to the technical director." The little niece consciously explained.

The president still locked his eyes.

The little niece was kind and gave him one.

Rounding off is that the little niece gave the green hat of the technical director to the president!

89

After the technical director's routine report, the president finally took the opportunity to chat.

"What have you been up to lately?" the president asked.

"Nothing." The technical director replied.

The president didn't intend to let go of this topic.

The technical director had no choice but to interrupt casually: "How is Mr. Liang recently? I haven't seen him for a while, I'm not used to it."

"I don't know," the president thought for a while before asking, "Why... are you so honest in front of him?"

I am also honest in front of you!The technical director rolled his eyes inwardly, and said half-truth, "He's so good-looking, I'm nervous."

The president blurted out: "Am I not good-looking?"

The technical director heard his jaw dislocate.But the person who asked this cheeky rhetorical question looked as usual—as usual, his facial nerves were necrotic, and he seemed to be overreacting.

"I mean, Mr. Liang is very funny. I have nothing to go down first, and there is a function that is eager to go online." The technical director avoided the T/F delivery proposition, and returned to the city and exited the battlefield.

Leaving the president alone muttering: "You haven't played before, I am more fun than him."

The technical director, who always goes home when there is nothing to do, is actually not having a good life.

The hard-working director's mother tidies up the house every day, and there are few items in total. After her reorganization, the status has changed to "missing".The worst part is that she doesn't remember where to put it.After a blanket search by the technical director, he silently pulled out from strange places one after another.

She forcibly moved in a lot of green potted plants, saying it was to purify the air and add some vitality to the empty house.As a result, many small flying insects were recruited, and the two of them were allergic together.The technical director silently took out a box of Claritan, one for you and one for me.

She tried to conquer the technical director with cooking skills, but since there was no kitchen here, she persevered in purchasing a series of electric-based kitchen utensils such as induction cookers.In the end, she found that she couldn't control the heat of non-open flames at all, so she made a plate of charcoal, and a small piece of oil splashed on her arm was included as a bonus.The technical director hurriedly gave her a cold compress, and then used Ele.me to run errands to deliver medical supplies.While the wound was being treated, the doorbell rang.

The alcohol stove was lit, the hot pot was also set up, and the ingredients were rinsed in, and after a while, it was bubbling and bubbling.

The technical director picked up a hairy belly with chopsticks and put it into his mother's bowl: "Didn't you say that it doesn't have the smell of fireworks, so it's not called eating. It's like Haidilao."

The director's mother buried her head in poking her belly, a little frustrated: "Did I make you mess up?"

"You know it too." The technical director picked up another chopstick and passed it over.

"My son has really grown up." The director's mother looked up, with a smile and a cry.

91

Recently, the technical director of Shenlong, who was always on the loose, took the initiative to go to the president's office, and encountered the familiar scene of the president's hand poking slime.

The president froze for a moment, then pulled his finger out guiltily.

The technical director frowned: "Is it for financing? Why did you reject Liang?"

"It's just a proposal." The president corrected.

Technical Director: "Why? Haven't you been busy with this matter for a long time?"

"It didn't work out." The CEO said lightly.

The technical director sighed and said, "Actually, I met Mr. Liang, and he told me everything."

"Big mouth." The CEO said angrily.

"It was mentioned in the chat. I only found out after asking him. In short, you don't have to worry about me. Our technical department unconditionally meets the company's development needs at the institutional level." The technical director said seriously.

The president's hob was like meat: "I don't have one."

"Understood, I'll tidy up the office area when I get back." The technical director raised his legs and was about to leave.

"I said, I actually envy you, it's true," the president poked the slime through the box depressedly, "What I envy is that you can face yourself honestly, present those dolls in a fair and fair way, and talk to others Discuss, and my lounge and slime can only hide forever."

Technical Director: "You can do it if you want."

The president leaned back in the chair and said: "One day, I was sitting here, dealing with an urgent project. I received a call saying that my daughter had passed out and was sent to the hospital. I was about to sign a contract at dawn, and I really couldn't leave. When I arrived at the hospital at noon, the doctor told me that my daughter had cancer, which was at an advanced stage. Later, she only lasted for a month, and during that month, I could only spend as much time as possible to accompany her in the hospital," he continued wearily but firmly, "Sitting in this position, I have to choose 'should' instead of what I want to do. I don't want my employees to live like that. This is also a dimension of my thinking about the company's future planning."

Technical Director: "I have nothing to envy. When I was very young, my parents broke up with me. After my grandma passed away, I have been living alone. At that time, I always hoped that my parents would pick me up and settle in Japan as soon as possible. Learning Japanese, After reading manga and learning about Japanese culture, I got used to the company of paper figures.”

The president looked a little moved.

The technical director went on to say: "I'm not telling you this to compare your misery. You have met my mother. She followed me back to China and is going to take me to Japan to settle down."

The president said in a deep voice, "Will you go?"

92

Before the technical director could answer, the president added another sentence: "I don't want you to go."

"Why?" asked the technical director.

The president frowned and remained silent for a long time.

"Don't worry, I will wait for you to find a suitable candidate and make a handover."

"That's not it."

"Oh, I can help you register a Riya and tie your own card, but I don't suggest you get too addicted to slimes, unless you still want to report to the hospital because of it."

"Not at all."

The technical director racked his brains, wondering: "I don't seem to owe you money, do I?"

The president broke the boat and gritted his teeth: "I, personally, don't want you to go."

A mushroom cloud exploded with a "boom" in the technical director's head, and he tentatively said, "You...you won't...really..."

93

Go back in time by 2 hours.

Cafe near the company.

Mr. Liang's exquisite and monstrous face scolded him in anger, what kind of an elm-headed CEO is he, who actually rejected Mr. Liang's investment proposal.

"What are you thinking? I'm not the only one who has the final say on the evaluation report. Besides, what's the point of accepting the system-level issues I raised? I'll be annoyed by my dad if I can't invest the money! It's better to invest in someone else You know the basics. You persuade him!"

The technical director sneered: "I'm his subordinate, it's inconvenient..."

"Don't pretend, I know, aren't you a couple?"

"One... a pair?" The technical director almost bit his tongue.

"Well... I also digested this information for a while." Mr. Liang muttered, and then continued: "Anyway, I confirmed with the Haoyouqian Hotel in Tokyo. You are another one when it comes to ordering fairy sticks at night." Actor."

"Misunderstanding, that was a misunderstanding," the technical director clarified, "We're really not...uh... that kind of relationship."

Seeing that his expression did not seem to be fake, Mr. Liang fell into confusion for a while.Suddenly, he remembered the day when he was sitting on the ceo's lap when he hit a straight ball, the ceo threatened him: "I'll call the straight guy next door over."

Mr. Liang smiled maliciously like a sneaky fox: "It seems that he is unrequited love."

Single... unrequited love?The technical director was so restless by these three words.My thoughts are too complicated to put into words. If I had to generalize, it would be similar: I won 500 million dollars but I had to wear women's clothes to get it.

"If you don't believe me, try it?" Mr. Liang continued to bewitch.

94

The president couldn't figure out what was going on in the mind of the messy-looking man in front of him for a while, and after waiting for a long time, there was no words after "You won't be real".

Suppressing his impatience, the president tried his best to be as patient and gentle as possible and hit a straight ball with all his strength: "I want to associate with you."

The technical director felt that his Tianling Gai and his whole brain jumped into the sky with a "swoosh", leaving a torso without thinking ability stuck in place.

There is no turning back when you open the bow.The president simply broke the casserole and asked the end: "Your answer?"

"I, think about it." The technical director sat awkwardly and stiffly on the sofa, hugging his head, thinking hard.

The minute hand moves a few ticks in silence.

"Don't be embarrassed." The president said generously, his tone couldn't hide his stiffness.

The second hand made several laps in silence.

"Take care in Japan." The president said with difficulty, and got up to see off the guests.

The technical director pulled his sleeve, and said with a sad face: "This is really my mother's misunderstanding."

95

"Aren't you leaving?" The president sat next to the technical director, deliberately teasing him.

"I didn't plan to go at first," the technical director said with a guilty conscience, "I've been looking forward to it for so many years, it seems that it has become a kind of inertia long ago, and I don't really have this idea." Looking at the people beside him, he added in a low voice: "I lives here."

The president shook his hand and laughed a few times, then asked with a straight face: "Did you do it on purpose just now?"

The technical director immediately raised his hand and surrendered, quickly throwing the pot away: "Thanks to Mr. Liang for the point."

The president was thinking of a hundred ways to get revenge on Mr. Liang, the technical director had already got up and left, turned around and patted him on the shoulder: "Let's go."

"What are you going to do?"

"Play the fairy wand." The technical director laughed.

The president couldn't help but stretch out his hand.

The technical director holds it and leaves.

96

The president quickly found an opportunity to question Mr. Liang.Mr. Liang admitted frankly, and teased: "Didn't you say that he is a straight man?"

The old god of the president is here: "Yeah, he just likes me."

Mr. Liang held his heart in his hands: "The mouth area."

97

The technical director found that the figures of benefits in the home and office had been replaced by figures of the president, and rows of presidents looked at him blankly, which was simply a kind of mental pollution.

It's really exactly the same as the president himself, scaled down.This lifelike and exquisite skill made the technical director immediately think of a person: the little niece.

The little niece poured out her bitterness with an indescribably complex expression: "The president asked me to make his model dolls and make them in batches. He also carefully measured all the data and handed them over to me, which put me under a lot of pressure. .Now I can draw an accurate sketch of him with my eyes closed, it's horrific."

The technical director held a doll of the president, looked at its lower three channels, and said to himself: "Measure all the data."

"It's waiting for you to measure it yourself." A voice came from behind, and the president's lips pressed against his ear.

The little niece wanted to pick her own eyes, and it was over.

98

cemetery.

The technical director put a bouquet of lilies in front of the tombstone.The girl in the photo is like a small white flower.

"It's the first time we met. I'm your brother's...boyfriend." The technical director said seriously.

The president smiled and nodded.

"Ninny, it's been four years. I still feel that I am not a competent brother, and I give you too little care and company."

The technical director held the president's hand.

"In the future, I will take your share, live a good life, and take good care of my parents."

The president shook the technical director's hand back.

The two smiled at each other.

two years ago.

President Office.

The Chief Financial Officer reported: "The new technical director's application for holiday welfare materials in the technical department is the responsibility of the department. The newsstand at the door can only provide the ones opened on behalf of you, which is not very standardized. I suggest rejecting his application, or by The company uniformly purchases designated categories for distribution. What do you think about it?"

The president asked: "Newsstand? What does he want to publish?"

"Cultural and creative products such as comics, magazines, and figures."

The corner of the president's mouth curled up slightly, and he said, "Let him be."

100

Two years and three months ago.

On the first day of employment, the technical director comes to the president's office to report.

"Teach me more in the future." The technical director stretched out his hand a little nervously.

The president nodded and held that hand.
