there are geese in the house

At nine o'clock in the morning, Jiang Yan struggled to get up from the bed, feeling dizzy and confused.

The mobile phone under the pillow buzzed continuously, Jiang Yan closed his eyes and pressed it, and Zhang Yuanfan shouted over there: "Yanyan, did you see the message I sent you? If it's not convenient for you, it's okay, I'm not in a hurry ..."

Jiang Yan was confused for a long time, and only after hearing the second half did he gradually wake up.

"What message? I worked overtime yesterday and didn't look at my phone." Jiang Yan got out of bed slowly, and went out to find something to eat with his phone.There are only a few boxes of hot sauce and fermented bean curd left in the refrigerator, and a piece of unopened butter that has expired.Bread and instant noodles have already been used up.He closed the refrigerator, looked on the kitchen shelf, and found that the noodles were gone.

"Why are you working overtime again?" Zhang Yuanfan was shocked, "Did Lao Yu go crazy and keep you up all night?"

"The time for the new project is tight, and Lao Yu is not in the company recently."

Jiang Yan smiled, turned on his mobile phone and turned to Zhang Yuanfan's WeChat, and saw his message.

"Do you need money?" Jiang Yan asked, "How much?"

"It's convenient for you," Zhang Yuanfan coughed a little embarrassedly, "I just want to make He Qing happy, and I will confess to her after I get married later."

Zhang Yuanfan and his girlfriend have been dating for three years, and they are finally getting married this year, but the parents of both sides fought over the gift money.Zhang's parents didn't want to give it, but He Qing's parents insisted.

Jiang Yan also knew about his family's situation, and said in surprise, "If I knew I was going to get married this year, what car were you in a hurry to buy last month? How about more than 30 yuan for the wedding."

"Don't mention it, I dare not tell He Qing about this." Zhang Yuanfan sighed and said, "My mother told me the other day that she urged me to buy a car because it was pre-marital property at this time. She thought He Qing's family was I am from the countryside, and I have a brother who does not live up to expectations. He will definitely drag me down in the future. I said that if the quarrel continues, I will not be able to get married, but the old lady said that it is just right. She has a fancy for a little girl and wants us to get to know each other. .”

Jiang Yan: "..."

"Then how much will I give you?" Jiang Yan asked, "Is one hundred thousand enough?"

"Enough is enough! It's useless," Zhang Yuanfan said hastily, "Fifty thousand is fine, and I have some for myself. I'll give it to you from the gift money after the wedding."

"There are a lot of places to use money for marriage, so don't be too tight when the time comes." Jiang Yan said, "Don't mess around with gift money. You still owe foreign debts after getting married. What do you make He Qing think? I Anyway, this money is not in a hurry, just give it to me after you save money from your own house in the future."

Zhang Yuanfan let out a "hey", still worried: "Do you have any pockets on hand?"

"Yes," Jiang Yan glanced at the phone, "The company will pay wages soon, and I have a lot of bonuses this month."

Jiang Yan's words are not bragging. Last month, his immediate leader, Lao Yu, was seconded to a foreign project team. Now their team relies on him to take the lead.Although the salary of art outsourcing work is not very high, but their company scale is good, and there are many projects. Add up all kinds of miscellaneous things, Jiang Yan can get more than 1 bonus this month.

He does not worry about feeding the whole family by himself, and usually does not have much entertainment. It is indeed easier to save money than others.

Zhang Yuanfan thanked him over there, and before hanging up the phone, he remembered to remind Jiang Yan not to forget to go face-to-face—He Qing had a former colleague with the same sexual orientation as Jiang Yan, and he was handsome and capable , also single like Jiang Yan.The young couple thought about matching up Jiang Yan, so they made several appointments to meet each other.

That person's attitude is very good, but Jiang Yan has been working overtime and has no time. After the WeChat overtime, he has been making appointments, procrastinating, and procrastinating until tonight.

Jiang Yan responded with a smile, hung up the phone and thought about it, went back and changed again, and then went out to work.

His home is a little far away from the company, from the east of the city to the west of the city, it takes almost an hour on the road every day.Jiang Yan entered the subway with his bag on his back, and just found a seat to sit down when he heard a "ding" from his phone.

Two new messages came out on WeChat at the same time.

One was sent by Zhang Yuanfan, and it was a photo of a night scene. A tall man was leaning on the railing of the overpass, and the light from the street lamp happened to shine directly on him, creating a thick shadow behind him.The background of the photo is the dark blue of the sky and the circular light spots of the city.

The man is very handsome, and he turned his head with a surprised expression, which seems to be a snapshot.

Jiang Yan stared at the photo for a while, then quit to click another one.

In the company group, the administration has just issued a notice: [@Everyone will have a meeting in the conference room at 10:30, all those from the art department must be present, and no leave is allowed. 】

Jiang Yan: "..."

Their company has a regular meeting every week, but it is usually on Thursday, and today is only Wednesday. I don't know why it was brought forward.

As a result, breakfast would definitely be unavailable. Jiang Yan hurriedly got off at the next stop, took a taxi and walked over the elevated road, and ran all the way to the entrance of the company. It was exactly 10:30.

Other colleagues are already waiting in the conference room.

Rimon in the same group saw him coming, quietly tore off his clothes, and asked in a low voice: "Brother Yan, what time did you go back yesterday?"

"After three o'clock," Jiang Yan turned to look at him, "What's wrong?"

"Something went wrong," Rimon said, "Old Yu's previous project went wrong, and now the company's leaders are crazy..."

Jiang Yan froze, staring at him in disbelief.

Rimon obviously just heard about it, and whispered sullenly: "I just heard about it too...Old Yu should be promoted to director after finishing this project. As a result, something happened to his original project yesterday, and now the company is suspended. His work allowed him to return home immediately."

Lao Yu is one of the main beauties of the company and a friend of Zhang Yuanfan.It was because of this relationship that Jiang Yan agreed to work here last year.Lao Yu and Jiang Yan completed most of the work of their group this year, especially several major projects.

Now something happened to Lao Yu?

What can happen to him as a painter?

"Is the news confirmed?" Jiang Yan was at a loss, but couldn't help being shocked, and asked Rimon, "Which project has a problem, do you have any letter?"

Rimon shook his head: "I don't know, it was only reported yesterday that Lao Yu is going to finish this time... I guess we will know after the meeting."

The meeting room suddenly fell silent.

Jiang Yan looked up and saw that several leaders of the company had come in, so he had to turn around and sit down, but his mind was in a mess—they did art outsourcing, after all, they painted according to the needs of customers, which did not involve safety in production, After the project is completed and accepted by Party A, there will be no after-sales troubles, and there will be some minor adjustments and modifications at most.So what happened to make Lao Yu lose his job?

Jiang Yan tried his best to recall and analyze the projects he had done recently, but after thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't find a clue.

The leaders at the conference table were still talking there, the content was similar to last week's meeting, nothing more than that the end of the year was approaching, and everyone was encouraged to make further achievements and get a good year-end award.Until the end, the boss suddenly raised his hand and announced that Tan Ping would be the company's art director and lead artist in the future.

Jiang Yan's heart skipped a beat, and he exchanged a glance with Rimon, thinking that it's broken.

Tan Ping was a ruthless guy their boss had poached from the outside, and had been competing with Lao Yu for the position of art director.In order to appear fair, the boss asked the two of them to lead a team, and it was up to each of them to receive the bonus for the project.

Lao Yu is a great painter and has rich experience in projects.Tan Ping was born in a state-owned enterprise and is good at engaging in relationship business.

The two sides fought for half a year, and Lao Yu was suppressed to the point where he had no strength to fight back.It wasn't until he brought Jiang Yan into the company that the situation turned around.

Jiang Yan is young and handsome, and his resume has no work experience.Before joining the job, he positioned himself as the vase and facade of the original painting group, but after joining the job, he suddenly went crazy and produced pictures like a tentacle maniac.The business team went out to discuss business. In order to grab the order, they bragged and cut the project time by half. No one in the company was willing to accept the order, and it was Jiang Yan who solved the mess.

After coming and going, Lao Yu took on more and more projects, and at the end of the year, they even overtook Tan Ping's group by a large margin.

Tan Ping was naturally dissatisfied with this, and hinted to Jiang Yan several times to change teams, but Jiang Yan ignored it.Tan Ping troubled him again, but Lao Yu stopped him.

Now that Lao Yu has suddenly lost power, Jiang Yan wants to know that his good life may be coming to an end.

The meeting ended with Tan Ping's passionate inauguration speech.

Jiang Yan walked out with others, just sat down and hadn't turned on the phone, and sure enough, someone came to him: "Brother Yan, Mr. Tan asked you to go to his office."

Jiang Yan had no choice but to put down his things and go with that person first.

When he entered the office, he found that the vice president and business manager were also there.

Tan Ping was behind the new desk, his expression hard to hide.

"Xiao Jiang, sit down." Tan Ping pointed to the chair opposite, "I called you here today because I have something to ask."

"Mr. Tan." Jiang Yan sat down and smiled, "What do you want to ask?"

"It's nothing, there's something wrong with your resume." Tan Ping opened a folder and clicked on it with his finger, "Why don't you fill in the work experience column?"

"It's true that I haven't worked in any other company before." Jiang Yan said, "There is nothing to fill in this column."

He knew that Tan Ping had said that he had falsified his resume not once or twice, and that he was under the protection of Lao Yu before, so nothing happened.Now that Lao Yu has just had an accident, this person can't wait.

Tan Ping really looked regretful, stared at him and shook his head: "Do you know the consequences of falsifying your resume? It can range from terminating the labor contract to compensating the company for losses and pursuing your civil liability."

After he finished speaking, he paused and looked up at the vice president.

The vice president chimed in, "President Tan is right, you can introduce Xiao Jiang briefly, but you can't completely hide it, it's not right."

Jiang Yan almost laughed out of anger.This is the first time he has experienced such a thing of being sacked by a shit pot, and he almost wants to turn his face on the spot.

"Mr. Tan, I want to know whether this is a routine inquiry or just for me personally." Jiang Yan shook his head and said, "If it is for me personally, I would trouble you to produce evidence to prove that I have been in another I have worked in the company. Otherwise, I would not accept this kind of accusation.”

"Our suspicion is well-founded," Tan Ping sneered, "Your painting skills are not just graduates at first glance, and you must have rich experience in commercial manuscripts. The company is willing to talk to you because it trusts you. "

"Then I suspect that Mr. Tan deliberately questioned and slandered me for no reason," Jiang Yan leaned back in his chair and said coldly, "Of course I am willing to ask you face to face because of my trust in the director. Mr. Tan You can set an example for me now, first explain it carefully, can you?"

Tan Ping was taken aback for a moment, and he had to react twice before he understood what he was talking about.

The atmosphere in the office was a little awkward.

The business manager has always liked Jiang Yan, and now he is busy trying to smooth things over: "Mr. Tan, you just ask about the resume as a routine. You asked, and Jiang Yan answered it, so that's all."

Tan Ping snorted coldly with a sullen face, and didn't speak again.

"Jiang Yan, it's important to ask you to come here." The business manager sighed faintly, and said to Jiang Yan, "The original painting of the second phase of the Hero City project was leaked, and the leaked part happened to be in charge of you and Lao Yu .Do you know about this?"

"..." Jiang Yan was stunned for a while before asking, "What did you say?"

The vice president looked at him carefully, "Someone leaked some of the original paintings of Hero City on the Internet. Now the leaked account has been blocked, and Hero City is also checking the source of the account. But since the stolen works are all from our company, so The other party still suspects that it was done by our insiders."

"The other side is now preparing to send people over to investigate. This is not a trivial matter." The business manager looked at him worriedly, "Are you sure there will be no problems with your resume? They are simmering now, and if they are not complete, they will catch some loopholes."

Jiang Yan was a little more serious this time. The business manager treated him well, but he was also afraid that something would happen to him at this time.

"There is no problem with my resume." Jiang Yan said, "And I think the leak of the original painting this time has nothing to do with me and Lao Yu."

"The company still needs to investigate whether there is any relationship. This matter cannot be ambiguous." The business manager glanced at Tan Ping and spoke for him, "Now you and Yu Yue have to avoid suspicion, and you can hand over the project at hand later. , before the other party's investigation team comes over, you should rest at home first."

The project that Yu Yue was finishing was also affected a bit, and the company sent another person to replace him.

Jiang Yan knew that this kind of thing might be difficult to handle. There are many competitors in Hero City. If the leaked thing is imitated by one of them and released in advance, the new game version of Hero City will not be able to be updated, or even the entire project will be cut in half.And once there is evidence that their company leaked, the company will not only have to pay a huge amount of compensation, but also have a reputation accumulated over the years.

The company is far more anxious than him and Lao Yu, and will definitely find out the truth as soon as possible.Jiang Yan was also very cautious when he started the project, so he wasn't particularly worried about it.It's just that there may be some rumors outside.

He nodded to the vice president and business manager, ignored Tan Ping, got up and walked out.

The work was handed over quickly, and the others probably knew the news, and when they saw him coming out of the office, they all secretly looked at him.

There was an awkward silence in the office room. Rimon waited for Jiang Yan to upload all the materials, and couldn't help but follow him, asking him in a low voice, "Brother Yan, what are your plans?"

Jiang Yan turned his face and smiled at him: "Can you have any plans, go home and sleep, and have a good rest."

"Then keep in touch," Rimon said, "If we have any news, we will let you know on WeChat."

Another original painting girl also said: "Brother Yan, you can always reply to my message now that you have a rest."

Jiang Yan glanced over there.

The girl smiled and said, "As you said, working time is not just for talking. Now it's not working time."

When Jiang Yan first came to the company, he received more than a dozen text messages about dinner appointments, both men and women. He had a headache at the time, so he simply made up a lame excuse, and never read the WeChat single chats of his colleagues.

"Yes," Jiang Yan smiled helplessly, "Send it, I'll send it back to you."

"Then can you arrange a meal?" A boy in the action group shouted, "Brother Yan, I want to invite you to dinner tonight. Only eat, nothing else."

The people around burst into laughter, and the atmosphere suddenly became active.Everyone started harassing him.

Jiang Yan knew that there was a lot of comfort in it, so he packed his things with a smile, picked up the bag and walked out, saying: "I can't eat, I have an appointment tonight."

-

It was just noon, and Jiang Yan had been working overtime for several days, and suddenly he returned home empty-handed. There was no manuscript waiting to be revised in the afternoon, and there was no difficult Party A on the other end of the phone. newbie to...

Apart from a little discomfort, his biggest feeling is that he has a lot of time and doesn't know what to do.

Jiang Yan called Lao Yu, but after waiting for a long time when no one answered, he left a message for him on WeChat.

Sure enough, there were a lot of single chat messages from colleagues, most of them came to comfort him, and there were also a few half-truths and half-false confessions.Jiang Yan really clicked on the reply one by one, poked and poked, and accidentally clicked on the photo sent by Zhang Yuanfan.

He noticed it in the morning. This person has a very good temperament, which made him feel so excited.Looking carefully at this moment, I discovered a lot of advantages - he is very handsome, he should be about 1.8 meters tall, and he is about the same age as himself.

The key point is that he doesn't look gay at all... A gay guy with a straight man's air, either the best or the 1.Jiang Yan tilted his head to guess the possibility that this person is a top-notch scumbag, but he thinks it is unlikely.

Maybe I'm going to get a fairy?Frustrated in the workplace, proud in love?Wannian cycads will bloom?

Jiang Yan adjusted his sitting posture, and suddenly looked forward to the evening date.

It's just that the other party exudes the temperament of a mature man all over his body, and he is very particular about his clothes and accessories.Jiang Yan looked down at himself, thinking that since he had nothing to do anyway, it would be better to tidy up, so as not to lose the demeanor of the former school grass.

He took a shower, and went downstairs to get a haircut with the same hairstyle as the male star—the sides were flattened, the bangs on the top were cut into layers, and he was simply blow-dried. He looked sunny and handsome.

The original clothes had been ruined to such an unremarkable level these days, he didn't wash them, so he simply drove out and bought a set of autumn clothes that he saw half a month ago - the clothes had a white shirt on the upper body, showing the collarbone .The lower body is matching pants, the fabric is very thin.

This dress is expensive, and it's very picky. A slightly flat butt would be a disaster if you wear it, but it's very good for Jiang Yan. Apart from showing off his figure and making him unaccustomed to it, it's perfect.

After wandering around the shopping mall until six o'clock in the evening, Jiang Yan took the newly bought small gift and went straight to the daily grocery store ordered by the other party.

He has been here several times before and knows the waiters in the store very well.The other party is also gay, and when he finished taking off his shoes, he immediately revealed that the other party had arrived.

"Extremely handsome, with a particularly good temperament." The waiter led the way in front and whispered, "Finally there is someone with a better appearance than you."

Jiang Yan was taken aback for a moment, then lowered his head and smiled shyly.

The waiter immediately expressed surprise: "You are still nervous."

"A little bit." Jiang Yan couldn't help rubbing his face, and blinked at him, "This is my ideal type."

Although he has good conditions, after all, he has been idle for too long and lacks experience in love.Now that I suddenly meet someone who suits me in every way and whose appearance matches my own aesthetics, I feel a little unstable.I am afraid that I will miss the opportunity if I do not perform well, and I am also afraid that I will not grasp the scale and scare the other party away.

Although he was the one who was scared away before.

The waiter walked him all the way to the door of the box, made a cheering gesture, turned and left.

Jiang Yan hurriedly took a deep breath, then pursed his lips again, exposing his dimples.

The box door was opened from the inside at the same time.

Jiang Yan smiled, puffed out his chest, retracted his abdomen and raised his hips, but when he raised his head, he was dumbfounded.

"Cheng...Senior Brother Cheng?" Jiang Yan was stunned, staring at the person in front of him for two seconds, then took two steps back to look at the room number.

Cheng Yikuan frowned slightly, obviously a little surprised: "Are you here for a blind date?"

After Jiang Yan confirmed that the room number was correct, he stood there stupidly.

Cheng Yikuan raised his phone again: "[This bird is dead] is that you?"

"...Well" Jiang Yan looked at him awkwardly, "That, that [The Great King Comes to Patrol the Mountain]..."

"It's my brother-in-law. He left my phone." Cheng Yikuan nodded at him, took a step back, looked him up and down again, and said, "Come in and wait, junior."
