Chapter 919

How to design your own business card and resume, these two skills have been taught as elective courses in Luo Binhan's college days.Nonetheless, his taste preferences in this area, like dress and etiquette, were basically the result of the combined influence of Yu Qingshu and Nan Mingguang.The strategies and preferences of the two people are also slightly different: Yu Qingshu emphasizes neatness and sophistication. Her principle is that no more than one piece of jewelry should be worn with the outfit. If you wear a necklace, you must take off the bracelet, and there should be no more than two colors. So as not to make people feel sloppy; Nan Mingguang prefers complexity. Although the less decoration a man has in the workplace, the safer he is, he will always add some tricks to the watch or color matching, and it will not make people feel out of place.He rarely relaxes his requirements on himself, and his dress standards for Luo Binhan are also higher than those of ordinary employees.And what he wants is not just good manners, but also good intentions. Several white shirts and black suits of the same style will never satisfy him.The few months after graduating from college were really a torture for Luo Binhan.He never got used to the feeling of a metal mechanical watch weighing heavy on his wrist, so the tie clip became his main tool to get to the pass level.

However, when it comes to business cards, even Nan Mingguang will adopt the same approach as Yu Qingshu - simplicity is the only and always standard answer.In an industry like theirs, which has nothing to do with art or design, things that are prohibited on business cards include: meaningless decorative shading, mixing and matching of more than three colors, the pursuit of gorgeous but illegible fonts, transparency or pearlescent Such special materials, special shapes that are difficult to store, hot stamping and embossed lettering on one's identity information... All choices that would reveal the temperament of a layman, frivolity or nouveau riche were found on the business card Zhou Yu gave him. All have been reflected.First of all, the background color used for the card was very reckless. It was a brown-black cardboard card with fine stripes. The ink used for printing was so reflective that it looked excessively cheap.Luo Binhan flicked the edge of the card with his fingers. The texture was very tough and moist to the touch.He had to admit that it was a talent to be able to use this high-end printing paper to create the effect of a small takeout card.

On the left side of the card is a very small picture of a square coffee cup, one with a wooden background, like a photo taken by oneself with a mobile phone; on the right side is written the identity information that should be on the business card, all They are all gilded and engraved, using four very different artistic fonts; on the reverse side of the card, the word "Gun N' Roses" is also gilded, and the work is quite beautiful, but the bulging process is a bit too much, and it cannot be compared with other cards. Cards are stored flat in the same box.

Luo Binhan had only seen such a large embossed character design intentionally and well done once, and it belonged to a calligrapher.He obviously feels that rather than having your business card stuffed into a storage box (and then forgotten forever), it would be better for you to make an immediate choice: take it seriously or throw it away immediately?This approach was a bit arrogant, because the calligrapher was quite famous and earned a lot of money from teaching every year.Luo Binhan couldn't tell whether the picture in front of him had a similar purpose. "Guns N' Roses" is indeed not a store that goes to make money. No matter how rudely it treats its customers, it will not cause more damage, so the little arrogance in the style of the business card does not matter at all.But from another perspective, the front design of this card is a complete disaster, which fully shows how incompetent the designer (if there is one) is.Since he couldn't even make it look good, it was hard for him to believe that there was something more profound and ingenious hidden in it.

If its owner hadn't been so unkind to Luo Binhan, the various efforts piled on this card would almost make people sympathize.But Luo Binhan felt that he did not have such noble sentiments. He stared at the business card for a long time, and the muscles in his cheeks and jaw tensed up to train himself not to smile with gloating.Zhou Yu had warned him that it was best to be friendly, sincere and natural when dealing with the shopkeeper - then how could he hold back from laughing!Maybe this is why Zhou Yu can get takeout service: he can hold such a business card and look at ease.

There was only one thing that Luo Binhan found even more strange.Now, he has seen the shop owner himself, his business card, and his social account avatar.The three show an unfortunate similarity in aesthetic taste.They are indeed like the belongings of the same person, but only this person's most valuable asset, the store that should have closed down but did not, even if it is not elegant, at least has a unique and charming temperament, in terms of taste Far beyond what the owner himself showed.The shop itself is like a blurry dream, a portal to an illusion.He couldn't help but suspect that it had been created by some kind of magic, that it might have been dug out of Anthony Kent's head.

He resisted the idea of ​​going to "Guns N' Roses" tonight to explore the truth and carefully stuffed the business card into the armrest box of his car. This was mainly to prevent Yu Xiaorong from searching it out.Also receiving similar treatment was the high-energy ray gun that Yaleriga left for him, which was hidden in a pillow on the rear console of the car.Every day when he goes to work, he puts it in his computer bag, and puts it in the same hidden inner pocket as his magic machete. When he goes home, he leaves the gun in the car, because the consequences of Yu Xiaorong discovering the dagger are lighter. Much more.He had been doing this since Monday, and although it had only brought him trouble so far, he had not considered taking a more lazy approach, because Lot's fact was really a harsh lesson - and besides, he Momolo still hasn't been contacted.This tiny shadow weighed on the bottom of his heart like dust in the cracks of a mirror.

The night passed uneventfully.Yu Xiaorong's homework seemed to consume a lot of her energy, leaving her no time to trace Luo Binhan's whereabouts.They chose a suspense movie to pass the time, and then watched a kung fu-themed movie.The latter part was almost entirely about fighting scenes. Luo Binhan was worried that Yu Xiaorong would find it boring, but she actually enjoyed watching it.She even put her feet down on the coffee table as the two swordsmen dueled under the moonlight.

“So,” she asked between bites of nachos, “do you know anyone who knows martial arts?”

"It's not like in the movies anyway," Luo Binhan said. "It may not be difficult to climb over a three- to four-meter wall, but you don't really expect to be able to jump from the ground to the sky."

"But why is it shot like this in the movie? Since its prototype is not like this."

"Its prototype is not a martial arts in reality, but a legendary novel. Just like your myths and legends."

Yu Xiaorong showed a little interest, but Luo Binhan couldn't tell her much.In the field of kung fu and martial arts, he is not as proficient and interested as he sometimes pretends to be, perhaps because there are inevitably some words like "family", "hero" or "chivalry" in it.However, he still read some roughly so that he could have a chance to talk to Luo Jiaotian and at least know what the content posted in his circle of friends was about - this reminded him of what Luo Jiaotian had been up to now. I haven't contacted him yet, so I don't know what's going on.

He went to bed with this question in his mind and got an immediate answer the next morning.It turns out that Luo Jiaotian has several important exams this week.He spent almost all his free time preparing, and as soon as the weekend came he asked Zhou Yu questions about which he was unsure.This is also an important reason why Luo Binhan classified him as a nerd. He actually went to correct the answers to the questions after the exam.Near noon on Sunday, he and Zhou Yu appeared at the door of Luo Binhan's house.Luo Binhan, who was busy shutting Fina into the room, took a step slowly, and the person who opened the door became Yu Xiaorong.

Zhou Yu said hello and came in by himself.So she and Luo Jiaotian, who was frozen outside the door, kept staring at each other, as if they saw a secret entrance to another dimension.Luo Binhan saw this scene after closing the bedroom door tightly, and almost wanted to take out his mobile phone and take a picture of it.He walked over patiently and told Luo Jiaotian that this was the German guest he had mentioned before.

"And he is your brother." Yu Xiaorong said.She looked at Luo Jiaotian and stepped out of the door.Luo Jiaotian nodded hastily and walked quickly behind Zhou Yu.Luo Binhan couldn't help but give Yu Xiaorong a warning look, telling her not to scare Luo Jiaotian.Yu Xiaorong also looked at him, his eyebrows raised high, and his expression was undoubtedly asking him how he could have a brother with such a temper.What's wrong with this kind of brother?Luo Binhan also rolled his eyes at her, he also has a bastard sister!
They went out to eat together in this slightly awkward atmosphere.If he could change the opportunity to be more prepared, Luo Binhan estimated that he could have a way to make Luo Jiaotian and Yu Xiaorong get to know each other better, but today's day was a bit unlucky. Whenever he wanted to find an introduction to get Luo Jiaotian and Yu Xiaorong together, As he spoke, his thoughts always turned to Luo Jiayang uncontrollably.

He reluctantly made one or two attempts, first asking Yu Xiaorong how the martial arts movie he watched last night was like, and then asking Luo Jiaotian if he had watched it too.In fact, he already knew that Luo Jiaotian had seen it, and even made comparative comments on the remake of the film.But Luo Jiaotian was far from being that active in his circle of friends. He just nodded silently.Everyone seemed to be preoccupied during this meal. Only Zhou Yu later understood what he meant and tried to help him promote the atmosphere.His intention was good, but unfortunately it was not the right material, and the meal almost turned into an exam question-and-answer session between him and Luo Jiaotian.In the end, Luo Binhan simply gave up and allowed Yu Xiaorong to pretend to be a foreign guest and start discussing his health condition with Zhou Yu.

"How are your injuries?" He glanced at Zhou Yu's belly, pretending not to notice Luo Jiaotian's doubts, "Is everything healed?"

"Well, I've recovered."

"Your face looks much better too." Luo Binhan observed his face and discovered what he had ignored yesterday, "Aren't you sleepy?"

"You get more rest when you stay in the lab."

"Yeah, they won't even let you access the Internet anyway." Luo Binhan said, "I think they just made a special trip to arrest you and put you to sleep."

Zhou Yu smiled silently.Yu Xiaorong was staring at them quietly like a cat guarding a mouse hole.Luo Binhan was particularly uncomfortable with her appearance, so he stopped asking.When paying the bill after the meal, he caught Luo Jiaotian who had not had time to slip away, and asked him a little evilly about the novels he had read recently, and asked him to recommend some interesting ones to open the eyes of the German chick (Yu Xiaorong kicked him under the dining table again him).This request almost made Luo Jiaotian stiff with fear.Luo Binhan smiled contentedly, seeing that he looked at Zhou Yu habitually, wanting to ask for help from his reliable senior.But what's the use?Zhou Yu is both a primitive on the Internet and an illiterate in the world of popular novels. He has read most of the novels titled "Selected World Masterpieces" series.

Finally, Luo Jiaotian struggled to reveal several book titles.Luo Binhan guessed that he must have thought deeply about it several times in his heart, lest he accidentally mentioned something in the book that would seriously damage his image or make a 16-year-old girl feel afraid and disliked. (Luo Binhan is not ready to disclose Yu Xiaorong's great achievements. He is already a little obsessed with portraying a sickly, introverted, and depressed foreign girl to the outside world.) As for whether the few books he mentioned can stand the test?Luo Binhan happily placed an order online, and then let Luo Jiaotian, who was full of anxiety, leave.In fact, Yu Xiaorong cannot recognize a few Chinese characters at all. Even if she starts studying hard from now on, she may not be able to finish reading a Chinese novel by the time she returns home.Luo Binhan just couldn't resist the opportunity to tease Luo Jiaotian without damaging his own image.

His thoughts could be easily hidden from Luo Jiaotian, but he could not hide his thoughts from Zhou Yu.Although the latter did not expose him, he expressed reproach with a silent look. "What's wrong!" Luo Binhan said, "I'm just teasing him."

"Nan Mingguang teases you like this, right?"

Luo Binhan wanted to say that this was completely different.But when he thought about it more carefully, he could only admit that the two were not that big of a difference.There was only the slightest pang of self-condemnation in his conscience, which was soon overwhelmed by the triumph of mischief. “Sometimes,” he confessed brazenly, “my hobbies and habits do come a little from his influence.”

Zhou Yu and Yu Xiaorong both looked at him with dissatisfaction.Their expressions had an unprecedented tacit understanding.Now Luo Binhan was dissatisfied again.He didn't want to take any risk of inadequate supervision, so he immediately urged Yu Xiaorong to do his homework.Zhou Yu also sat with him at his house for a while and talked a few words about "Guns N' Roses", but most of it was information that Luo Binhan already knew.Luo Binhan also considered whether he should reveal some secrets he discovered, such as the possible dangers of the shop owner.He didn't say anything in the end, because Zhou Yu seemed to have good communication with the shop owner. If he told Zhou Yu that it was a monster, it might be bad.

Zhou Yu stayed for a while and then left, saying that he was going back to tidy up the study.Luo Binhan had no choice but to pass the time before evening by himself.The air pump in the fish tank gurgled wildly, and his mind was churning like bubbles.He felt a little bored and tried not to show it, but Yu Xiaorong finished the homework quickly.She was a master at sniffing out emotions, and soon began to ask Luo Binhan what was bothering him, and whether it had something to do with his younger brother. "Why do you always call him that?" Luo Binhan asked in confusion, not expecting her to be willing to recognize a brother who was older than her and not related by blood. "He has his own name."

"His name doesn't fit him at all."

"How many people can match their names?" Luo Binhan said, "But I'm not thinking about him. I'm thinking about another person whose name doesn't match."

"Who?"

"You don't need to know the name. I can tell you something about this person: when he was about your age, he liked to watch live broadcasts, the kind of performances by network anchors. But what he watched was not beauties or comedians. ——You should know this type of program, so I won’t go into details. In short, this is not what he watches—he specifically looks for people who seem to be in difficulty. The poor, the elderly, women raising children in the countryside... … He likes to see them in trouble, give them money, and say a few words of encouragement. Then when they start to trust him, he will make various demands of them."

Yu Xiaorong frowned unconsciously.Luo Binhan observed her appearance and thought that she did have a natural sensitivity to bad things.

"He makes these people do embarrassing or painful things." He continued, "Whenever there are many people in the live broadcast room and the atmosphere is heated, he will ask them to shout in public that they are pigs and dogs, and let the elderly people Chew ice cubes and chili peppers, let country women lie on the ground and lick earthworms..."

Yu Xiaorong suddenly jumped up from the sofa.Her fierce reaction even exceeded Luo Binhan's expectations.He looked into her angry eyes, adding another layer of vague worry about the future in his heart.But on the surface, he remained calm: "As long as the other party meets his requirements, he will give the money."

"The money he gave them is enough for them to have enough food and clothing for a lifetime?"

"It's not that big of a deal, it's just 500 yuan - in our place, depending on the regional consumption level and family size, I estimate that it can help people with financial difficulties live from a week to half a month. Otherwise, he doesn't have to go out of his way to pick it up. People who have difficulty getting up. But I have to say one thing, the anchor industry has to share the accounts with the platform."

"He spends this money just to humiliate others."

"He did it." Luo Binhan said in a somewhat strange voice, "He did it all legally. No one who was humiliated would retaliate against him."

"Maybe this is in compliance with your laws," Yu Xiaorong said coldly, "but I want to push his head into the toilet."

"Then you have to push a lot of people's heads into the toilet." Luo Binhan replied.He looked at Yu Xiaorong gloomily, hesitated for a while, and then said as if talking to himself: "You can't do this forever, Rongrong."

"What's wrong with me?"

"Sooner or later you will hit a wall in human society." Luo Binhan asked towards the ceiling, "Do you really have to live your whole life with African animals? Who can control you in the future?"

"I can take care of myself."

Luo Binhan shrugged. "Anyway, there is such a person. He is the cause of my troubles."

"Because we can't throw him in jail?"

"Because I have an obligation to tell him to change his ways."

"Are you crazy!"

"What would you do if it were you?" Luo Binhan asked on a whim, "What if you have an obligation to make him change his ways?"

"I'll give him a good beating first to let him know who's the boss here."

"That doesn't sound like you're going to take the high road."

"That's the way to go among dogs."

"But, Velvet, if your parents used this method to deal with you, what would you think? If they beat you once, you would never believe what they said. You just believed it. Fists. Maybe you will say that your motives are good, and others' motives are evil, but in the end there is no essential difference - use money, power, or fists to make your wishes higher than others' wishes. , let others be beaten or humiliated, this is just because your power is greater, not because your will is better, understand? One day the power will leave you, and there will be another power that will surpass you, then there will be Another will overrides yours. You still have no way to prove to anyone that your will is correct. In this world, reason is out of touch with human nature."

Yu Xiaorong stopped talking.She looked at him quietly, with a little surprise.Luo Binhan suddenly realized that he had gone too deep into his inner thoughts. "I still have a few documents to read." He said uneasily, got up and walked into the bedroom.
