The Return of Gratitude Volume 2

"Senior?" Wheat Roll looked up and saw him, changed his image of a vicious dog, and turned into a sunny golden retriever with a bright smile on his face, slipping into the closing elevator door, "Why are you here?"

"My company was blown up, and I'm temporarily working here."

Archer looked at An Jiamian, who spoke lightly, and thought of the skyscraper that was blown up like a broken chimney, and said in his heart that as expected of Mr. An, he could face such a tragic event that the company was blown up without being surprised.He originally wanted to tell An Jiamian about finding Steuby, but seeing that An Jiamian didn't mention it in that direction, he saved himself the trouble of making up stories.

An Jiamian glanced at the photo in Shen Che's hand, raised his eyebrows: "What did you take?"

"Oh, this," Archer frowned when he said this, "it makes me angry..."

An Jiamian regretted it a bit, and sure enough, she took the elevator all the way out of the elevator and into the garage, and her ears couldn't be clean.He didn't listen to what Shen Che was talking about, he just thought about his own affairs in his mind.

Archer saw that An Jiamian unlocked the car and opened the door, and was about to say goodbye to An Jiamian, when he saw Young Master An turning around and asking him, "Shen Che, did you leave me a proposal for a venture capital investment?" studio."

Archer was at a loss for words. He originally wanted to leave that document quietly on An Jiamian's desk as Stouby, but after all the accidents happened, he thought he had lost it, and he didn't know how it got into An Jiamian's hands. Because I had been talking about the photography competition just now, An Jiamian probably guessed that he left the proposal.

"I'm looking at the plan." An Jiamian turned around and grabbed a bunch of documents from the passenger seat, looking down, "Which one is yours..."

The young dog recognized it at a glance: "This, hehe." Stretched out the dog's paw, picking one out.

"That's right," An Jiamian looked down at the information on the photography studio, and asked, "How did you see it at a glance?"

"Because..." Archer opened his mouth to say two words and then became dumb, his black hair was so embarrassed that he died.

"Because yours is dirty and wrinkled, with dog paw prints on it," An Jiamian threw the venture capital proposal to him, "I'm your boss, and I don't know whether to thank you or beat you up."

Archer looked at the plan that was thrown into his arms, feeling a little sad, and said in his heart that there was no typo this time...

"Rewrite a copy and give it to me," An Jiamian got into the car and closed the door, then rolled down the window, "Oh, by the way, I think that photo is good, can you send it to me?"

The photo just fell on the ground, and the dog boy learned his lesson this time, he fanciedly fanned the ashes off the photo before handing it to An Jiamian.

The white Grand Cherokee drove away, and a puff of exhaust sprayed on the disheveled young dog.

JENNY stared at the computer in a daze. The page on the browser was the mailbox of the studio. She was going to send information to the client, but accidentally saw the email sent by the organizing committee of the "Great Legacy" photography competition, but she did not expect the letter There are only six short words in it-retired, thank you for participating.

She didn't know photography, but she didn't believe that Qin Xiuhui, who had suppressed Yin Xiangdong for four years at Yale, couldn't even make it to the finalists.

But what should I do now, the email has already been opened, tell Qin Xiu?She was a little speechless...

"Just delete it."

A deep voice suddenly sounded from behind, and JENNY turned around in a jerk.Qin Xiu stood behind her, looking down at the page indifferently, seeing that she didn't respond, he went over her shoulder and clicked delete, and emptied the recycle bin.

JENNY didn't know what to say, she wasn't very good at comforting people, and she couldn't comfort Qin Xiu who was radiating cold air all over her body, but she didn't expect Qin Xiu to straighten up, and just said, "Don't tell Shen Che " Then he turned and left the workshop.

Archer shuffled back to the studio. When he came back, he threw away the photographer's profile that had been returned by the judging panel. He didn't want to tell Qin Xiu so soon about his failure.The studio was very busy in the next two weeks as usual, and Archer was afraid that Qin Xiu would ask or talk about the photo contest, but Qin Xiu seemed to be plunged into work, and Archer secretly heaved a sigh of relief, saying that he could Keep it a secret for as long as you want, but it will be revealed the next day.

One day, a short-haired, fat woman in her thirties came to the studio. She introduced her surname as Han, and she was the vice president of An's Animal Protection Foundation.Qin Xiu didn't understand the other party's purpose, and thought that he might be here to talk about filming a public service advertisement. Archer thought so at first, but when the other party took out the photo, the young dog felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

He nervously looked at Qin Xiu's expression. Qin Xiu stared at the photo for a long while: "How did you get this photo?"

Ms. Han didn't notice any problem: "President An gave me this photo. He liked it very much. He said that you may have other photos of this wasteland on your side. Let me ask. .”

Qin Xiu frowned and pondered: "President An... is An Jiamian from the An family?"

"Yes," Ms. Han nodded and smiled, "But in fact, I am solely responsible for the affairs of the foundation. Mr. An is just a funder and honorary president. Of course, I will care about it occasionally."

Qin Xiu said clearly: "You asked me if I have any other photos, is there anything I need?"

Ms. Han's expression also became serious: "That's it, I believe you also know that the government is inviting bids for the wasteland in the upper urban area. There are already several big developers targeting that land. Let's inquire about the most competitive development so far. The merchants are Kinder and VIA. Kinder plans to build a shopping plaza and entertainment city on this land. I heard that it will introduce several world-class luxury flagship stores. VIA is planning to build a theme amusement park with a scale comparable to Universal Studios. It’s comparable,” Ms. Han said while taking out a document from her bag and handing it to Qin Xiu, “That piece of wasteland has been around for ten years, and has formed a very complete ecosystem, home to many wild animals. We asked biological experts to conduct species statistics after investigation, and it is a pity that the land has been turned into an entertainment city and an amusement park."

Qin Xiu looked down at the species statistics report. From tree frogs to chameleons, from okra to red castor, there were many common and rare animals and plants. In addition, there were many rare migratory birds in this wasteland, such as the red-bellied hawk hawk. After listening to Ms. Han's words, he already understood [-]% to [-]% in his heart: "I can provide photos, but are you sure it will be useful?"

"Now our team has started to spread the word and vote on the website, but the results are not great." Ms. Han shook her head helplessly, "For most ordinary citizens, the wasteland and the animals in the wasteland are too far away from them. We must impress them.” Ms. Han excitedly picked up the photo on the table, “I was very excited when I saw this photo of yours for the first time. I don’t know photography, but I think It touched me deeply, and I think it can also touch others. If you agree, a photography exhibition with the theme of wasteland will be funded by the foundation, and we will let the public come in for free. Your work, plus our The call will definitely make more people realize the value of this oasis."

What kind of expression did Qin Xiu have? Archer didn't notice, his mind was already filled with the words "photo exhibition". At the beginning when Ms. Han said it, he thought he was just posting the photos on the Internet, but he didn't expect it to be such a photo exhibition. Generous.

"The wasteland will definitely be preserved." He heard himself blurt out a very determined voice, before Qin Xiu made a statement.

Qin Xiu didn't ask about the photos, because they were so busy with the photography exhibition. The foundation was more efficient than expected, and soon the location of the photography exhibition was decided. It turned out that Yin Zebei once held a personal photography exhibition of the Municipal Art Museum.The title of the themed photography exhibition is determined by the funder as "Giant's Garden".

Qin Xiu stood in front of the gate of the art museum, saw the staff arranging the advertisement boards outside the gate, and murmured, "This name is very good."

Ms. Han said with a smile: "It is said to come from Oscar Wilde's fairy tales."

Qin Xiu silently looked at the photos used for publicity on the advertising boards.Oscar Wilde's fairy tale "The Giant's Garden" tells the story of a selfish giant who does not allow anyone to step into his garden. When spring comes, the outside world is full of spring flowers, but the giant's garden is still in the cold winter. The giant finally understands , Tore down the high wall, and shared the garden with my friends, so spring came again.

"Giant's Garden" is indeed a very appropriate name.

When Qin Xiu walked into the exhibition hall on the first floor, he immediately saw Shen Che who was helping the volunteers to hang up photos. Seeing the curly-haired young man sweating from work, Qin Xiu walked over to help him: "Take a break."

"It's okay, I'm afraid they made a mistake." Student Shen said with a smile in a low voice, and went to move the photos again. As soon as he picked it up, the polar bear took it involuntarily. Archer watched Qin Xiu easily take the heavy and large photographs After hanging up, he shook his head dumbfounded, and ran to the other side to help the weak girl.

Qin Xiu hung up the photo, inserted the introduction card, clapped his hands and looked back, and saw that Curly Shen was busy again on the opposite side.

Archer helped the female volunteer to decorate one wall, thinking that the first floor would be finished, and then turned around, damn it, Qin Xiu just hung one and threw it there.Archer walked over and looked at the big picture frames that Qin Xiu had thrown on the wall and hung them up one by one resignedly, thinking, why do you never end when you do things?

After a while, Ms. Han came in and clapped her hands: "Everyone have a rest, the photographer invites everyone to drink milk tea."

The volunteers were also happy to take a break, and stepped forward to take a cup of milk tea from the younger brother who delivered the milk tea.

Archer also went to get the milk tea, but the boy who delivered the milk tea opened his pocket and said with a smile, "Your boss has yours!"

Archer was extremely thirsty, so he had to wipe his hands and go out. He saw Qin Xiu sitting on the flower platform outside the art gallery with his back facing him, drinking milk tea with his legs crossed.Archer stretched his neck and saw that there was indeed a cup of milk tea on the chair beside Qin Xiu, so he walked over with a smile.

Seeing that the light above his head was blocked, Qin Xiu looked up and saw Student Shen with a sunny face: "Why?"

"I'll get milk tea~" The curly-haired young man bent down automatically to pick up the milk tea on the chair.

Qin Xiu took the milk tea away like a cat: "Have I allowed you to move?" He looked at him coldly, "Aren't you tired at all?"

At the same time, the volunteers who were drinking milk tea and calling in the distance:

"Shen Che's boss is difficult..."

"It's been 5 minutes and I still haven't got the milk tea."

"Hey! I'll give it, I'll give it—"

Then there was a uniform sigh.

"Take it back again..."

"Come and bet that Shen Che can get the milk tea in a few minutes?"

"I think he'll get it at the last second before work starts and then he won't have time to drink..."

"Hahahaha, why is he still working there?!"

"Because the boss is beautiful..."

Everyone nodded quietly and convincingly.

Qin Xiu finally put the milk tea on the chair and put it coldly: "Shen Che, I am your boss, if I tell you to work, you have to work, and if I tell you to rest, you have to rest."

The young dog who wanted to cry without tears took the milk tea in his hand, and said in his heart that you care about people so much that it makes people uncomfortable.

There was a copy of "Times" left by someone on the chair. Archer flipped through it while drinking milk tea. In addition to the photography exhibition preview on the entertainment page, there was also a full-page color advertisement. This kind of position is usually reserved for rich real estate. Prepared by the developers, he was surprised when he saw such a large-format advertisement for the first time. The foundation really put a lot of effort into it.This advertisement has been running for a week, and the next page is the Jinda Group's advertisement for the sale of Heyday Garden in the "Times", which has a tit-for-tat atmosphere.But in front of the raccoon brothers who bumped Qin Xiu's camera with their noses, the 3D modeled real estate advertisement looked much more shabby.

The ad was so effective that once he was on the subway, he heard a student comment, "Oh my God, are there wild raccoons in Uptown? So cute!"

Archer held the ring in his hand, looked at the two student girls who were enthusiastically discussing whether to go to the photography exhibition on the weekend, thought of the little animals enjoying themselves in the wasteland, and thought with a smile, they are there. Chase them away.

Qin Xiu looked at the newspapers in the hands of the people around him, thoughtfully: "Shen Che, do you think there will be such a good thing in the world?"

Archer knew what Qin Xiu was thinking, put down the newspaper: "...Qin Xiu, I actually know An's boss."

Qin Xiu turned his head in astonishment and saw Shen Che's clean and honest eyes. He forced himself to hold back his surprise, held the milk tea on his lap with both hands, and took a deep breath: "Well, tell me, I'll listen."

Archer told Qin Xiu everything about how he was almost destroyed by humanity before, but fortunately was saved by An Jiamian, and later benefited from Young Master An many times.

"Because he couldn't find anyone to practice tennis with him for a while, I used to be his sparring partner, but he didn't know that I was Stubby." Archer said slowly, "He seems to miss that dog very much, I want to tell him that Stubby is doing well now, I hope he can let go of his worries, so I asked him to meet..."

Qin Xiu recalled seeing Juan [-] rushing into An's Building on the TV news at that time, and was silent for a long time: "Did you meet him before or after?"

Of course later, Archer said in his heart, I met him only to find you, and it was always you.There were thousands of times in my heart, but I could only shrug my shoulders and smile: "Forget it before."

Qin Xiu squeezed the milk tea cup, and there was a popping sound from the plastic straw: "Then why don't you ask him to repay your favor?"

"I think so too," Archer hunched over and looked at the constant flow of traffic, a little disappointed, "but he seems to have everything and is omnipotent. I don't know what else I can do to help him other than being his partner. his."

Qin Xiu nodded with a cold face: "I lack everything, I'm just an imbecile, so you found me, right?"

"I just think you need me more." Archer smiled faintly, and said in his heart, I need you more, too, "That photo will be rejected by the judges, Master An accidentally saw it, said he liked it very much, and asked me to give it to you." He, I just gave it to you, and you saw it, his intention is that simple." After speaking, he patted Qin Xiu on the shoulder with a smile, "I just want to tell you that you can trust Master An, sometimes he seems to be It's a bit repulsive, but the people are really nice."

Qin Xiu glanced at the curly-haired young man who spoke with certainty: "I don't believe him, but I believe you."

These words suddenly moved Archer a little. Just as he was about to say that you believed me, Qin Xiu suddenly leaned over and buried his nose into his neck. , I saw Qin Xiu raised his eyes and smiled at him: "Because I smell shit luck on you."
