"...This method of contacting merchants for promotion lacks interactive marketing. If we want to cover a wider range of services, we must adapt to the changes in the transaction structure of the Internet revolution, so I don't think this kind of solution is feasible. It might be better to integrate more emerging forms on the Internet..."

I frowned and looked at Sun Ning's proposal. She has always been decisive, and she doesn't like to be changed when she decides.But because in my company, I am used to expressing my opinions straightforwardly so that my subordinates can improve them. When I saw that there were some shortcomings in her plan, I couldn't help but change my previous style of following her decision as much as possible. Point it out directly.

Brother Wang kicked my feet under the table, but I didn't realize that Sun Ning's face had turned ugly until the phone rang in the conference room.

I stopped talking, and picked up the phone with an apologetic face: "I'm going out to answer a call."

Brother Wang immediately smoothed things over and said, "It's almost twelve o'clock, and it's time for us to get off work. Let's talk about the plan in the afternoon. Everyone is hungry, isn't it?"

The others nodded quickly, and Sun Ning stood beside the projection screen, flipping through the pages of the plan that I pointed out as inappropriate without mercy, and just nodded and said nothing.

Everyone was relieved, and hurried out of the meeting room. I stood outside the meeting room to answer the phone, and they all gave me a mixture of admiration and pity.Before Wang Ge left, he silently pointed to the meeting room. Sun Ning, a workaholic, must have been pissed off by me. Sitting at the computer desk now, he seemed to be starting to revise the existing plan.

It was Lao Luo who called, and he was still chattering on the other end: "...No, I can't explain this clearly on the phone. Jun Yan, I have to tell you face to face, where are you now?"

"Now?" I was a little caught off guard, "I'm on the East Second Ring Road, quite far from your place, why don't you wait until I get off work?"

"Isn't it a coincidence!" Lao Luo shouted, "I'm doing business for a friend at the Russian embassy, ​​and I'm going to find you now. I know this place well, and you can report the address now—no, report a nearby landmark, I will almost there!"

I didn't expect to meet Lao Luo near the company, but he said firmly that I should not have told him the truth if I knew it earlier.Now I can only resign myself to my fate and say, "Near Fuhua Building...it's really unnecessary. What's going on?"

"Is there a Starbucks nearby? Wait for me there, 5 minutes will do." Lao Luo refused to say, "I'll treat you to coffee."

I hung up the phone, but fortunately Xu's has no clothing requirements, and I didn't wear a suit either, so the casual clothes are justified.I walked into the conference room to get things, Sun Ning held his chin, staring at the computer screen intently.She really doesn't like others to comment on her decision, but I always feel that since she is such a person who cares about her work, if she can make a suitable suggestion, even if she finds it unpleasant, she will not reject it.

Judging by her appearance, she should have approved my idea.I smiled slightly, Sun Ning seemed to feel my gaze, raised his head and looked at me, still in the same cold manner, just asked me: "Aren't you going to have lunch?"

"It's easier to change after everyone discusses a specific plan." I said seriously, "You're pretty thin, you'd better have a good lunch, or it won't be good for your stomach."

"Discussions also require ideas. I'll come up with a few feasible plans first." She said calmly, "Xu Junyan, you have a long-term vision."

These are all Xu Yucheng's documents that Xu Yucheng has been dealing with in the past few days. By the way, he instilled in me the general direction of the general trend, and gave me a detailed analysis of the future market and development prospects, otherwise I would not understand it this way.I smiled awkwardly, and Sun Ning curled her lips in disdain: "You'd better come up with some substantive suggestions this afternoon, otherwise it's useless to talk about it, and it will increase everyone's workload."

I nodded and went out, walked into the elevator room before the elevator closed, and walked quickly to the place agreed with Lao Luo.

"Jun Yan, this way!"

Lao Luo had a smug smile all over his face, and ordered coffee for me.I was very surprised at his generosity, after all he is the one who even grows vegetables behind his two bungalows, and he often goes to Song Cheng's place to eat and drink with the cheek.

"What's the matter?" I sat down opposite him, "By the way, how about the photo?"

"No." He winked at me pretending to be mysterious, with indecent writing all over his body, "I didn't take it for submission."

"Huh?" I said. "Isn't that the magazine theme you're working so hard on?"

"How much money can I get for submitting to a magazine? I took a good picture with great difficulty, how can I waste it like this?" Lao Luo stared at me, and said, "Okay, let me just say it, I sent the picture to the exhibition! Through Already!"

"Exhibiting... What's the matter? Exhibitors get paid?" I felt that when I stayed with Lao Luo and Song Cheng, I became that poor young man, Jun Yan, and even habitually began to calculate carefully, "I don't quite understand."

"There will be an auction after the exhibition! Auction, understand? This exhibition is very high-end. Jun Yan, have you seen the auction? Please take a day off that day, and I will take you to see it." Lao Luo looked like you have never seen the market. , and introduced to me with a bit of flaunting, "Even if no one buys us, as long as we participate in the exhibition, we can guarantee to be bought by the organizer in the end, that is, whether we can sell at a high price or a low price. This is more expensive than selling to a magazine. , I have confidence in your photos, and they will definitely sell for a good price! When the time comes, the three of us will share equally, how about it?"

I nodded: "OK, when is the exhibition?"

"March NO.16, Friday." Lao Luo took a sip of his coffee, "Starbucks tastes really mediocre."

March NO.16 auction... I was taken aback. Our company happened to have a small-scale modern art exhibition on this day. I also reviewed the planning of this exhibition. Could it be such a coincidence?

I tentatively asked, "What's the name of that exhibition?"

"It's called City Film... I will take you there when the time comes—Jun Yan, Jun Yan? Why are you in a daze?"

Your own photos are displayed at your own company's auction.I wished I could sigh a few times with a wry smile, scratched my hair irritably, and pretended to be normal when I came back to my senses, and replied: "It's nothing. I'll talk about it later, I may not be free."

"Hey, by the way, why are you around here?" Lao Luo talked about a lot of exhibitions with great interest, and then remembered to ask me, "You work as a waiter around here? Huh!"

"...The customer lost something with us, and I will send it to him." I thought of a suitable explanation almost instantly, and sure enough, Lao Luo just said "oh" and stopped asking, and continued to tell me about the photos.I listened absent-mindedly, and occasionally took a sip of Mocha. Actually, I don't really like drinking these, and I might as well drink some tea for comfort.

"Huh, Junyan?" Brother Wang's voice suddenly sounded behind him, he walked to our table and greeted me, "Are you here too?"

I suddenly felt something was wrong, Lao Luo stopped talking, Brother Wang and him nodded, and reached out to pat me on the shoulder.I probably held back a lot of words, and before I could interrupt him, he let out a sigh of relief and said: "I really admire you, did you see Sun Ning's expression? Back to the same thing, this time you said every sentence makes sense, She's pretty deflated, you're the deputy team leader! I said you shouldn't let her go, this project isn't hers alone..."

I stood up abruptly, the chair rubbing against the ground made a screeching sound, and several people turned their heads to look this way.I didn't need to guess to know that my face was pale, and interrupted him hastily: "Brother Wang, I still have something to do."

He showed a bit of embarrassment, and immediately said: "Okay, okay, you are busy first, let's go back to the office and talk about it." Then he said to Lao Luo: "You talk, I will go first."

He turned and left, and I propped myself up against the table and sat down slowly.Lao Luo silently took out a box of chewing gum, touched two gums, chewed them slowly, and handed them to me. He didn't see the noisy appearance before: "Take two gums, you're so scared, your forehead is sweating."

I didn't answer, he took it back, clicked his tongue, and said slowly: "Oh...just now it was your colleague...the deputy team leader, the project...isn't this what the waiter does?"

I lowered my head to watch his stubby fingers tap on the glass tabletop, his serious face was vaguely reflected: "Jun Yan, you lied to me that you are a waiter, I don't care, we just met by chance anyway. You can see me, You call me Brother Sheng Luo, we are friends; you don’t like me, I’m just a poor photographer, we can’t talk. But you lied to Xiao Song...do you know what kind of person he is?”

I pursed my lips: "Brother Luo, I..."

"Xiao Song doesn't know about this, does he? He is a straight-minded kid. He treats people well with his heart. He doesn't owe you anything." Lao Luo said, "It's not fun. I'm sure you're not a bad person. But you lie to him—what are you lying to him for? What are you trying to do?"

"I didn't mean to lie to him." The explanation is really weak, not to mention that this explanation is just another lie, "I just didn't find the opportunity to explain it clearly to him."

"Then let me tell you..."

"Don't!" I hurriedly stopped him, and begged in a low voice, "I didn't want to hurt Song Cheng, he is filming outside now, and he couldn't explain clearly on the phone, what if something happens to him? Give me some time, I'll be honest with him."

Lao Luo's originally happy face became dull, and he sat there silently for a long time before he said, "Jun Yan, explain to him clearly that Xiao Song is not unreasonable. You said that you are a good white-collar worker. It is estimated that the treatment here is not bad, and this is not a disgraceful thing, there is no need for you to tell this lie, confess it as soon as possible."

He stood up with the bag, looking a little sad and disappointed: "Think about it carefully, Xiao Song will be back next week."

I sat on the seat alone, and waited for Lao Luo's chunky figure to walk away before I covered my face and smiled lowly.I ignored the strange eyes of the people around me and laughed louder and louder, and finally almost went crazy. The waiter came to me worriedly: "This gentleman..."

I put down my hand and returned to a normal and calm look: "It's okay."

how can i confessHow should I explain to Song Cheng?Would a person working in the high-end financial circle sell himself for tens of thousands of dollars?

I can't let Song Cheng know.

Absolutely not.
