The ups and downs of ordinary people working in modern cities are American stories. Product design is naturally attacked by rational lawyers with vicious tongues.

He's the kind of guy you'd look at twice in an office elevator - not because he's flashy, but because he's clean.
Shirts are always ironed, everything on the workstation is in its proper place, and even the icons on the computer desktop are sorted by color. Twenty-seven and eight was a subtle moment: the new employees in the department started calling him Brother Lu, and he nodded in response, feeling occasionally in a trance - as if he was called Xiao Lu just yesterday.
The work he does is always neat and organized, but not too complicated. When you get off work at a certain time, mix "go forward" and "lie down" into a just right concentration. Like the products he designed, they are practical, restrained, and not sensational, but after using them for a long time, you will find that they are full of care.
Every now and then, friends would try to find someone for him, but he declined with a smile, not because he was rejecting them, but because he found them troublesome. He has been in love and knows what it is like, but he has never met someone who made him take the initiative. It is like a small island, floating quietly on the water. It does not refuse ships to dock, and there is no lighthouse waiting for anyone.

He was on a different floor in the same office building, and his name was only one character different from his. I have seen so many people in their worst moments. The couple who gave each other a watch as evidence when they divorced, the brothers who took screenshots of their chat records one by one after falling out together, and the relatives who fell out in front of the will. He sat in the conference room and listened to these stories, his expression always calm, analyzing the pros and cons, giving plans, and signing to close the case, like a precise instrument. It's not that he's cold-blooded, it's that his professional training told him: it's useless to invest in emotions, objectivity and calmness are the weapons.
He doesn't believe in love. It's not pessimism, it's an "objective conclusion" based on a large number of samples - feelings are the most variable and uncontrollable thing, and there is no place for variables in his life.
Later he realized that some variables are beyond your control.
And he is willing to put the words "objective and calm" in the office temporarily for this person.
Motto: Don't worry, the relationship that suits you will come to you one day
