I’ve been too caught up with games and work lately, so I haven’t paid much attention to writing this log. One step at a time, even if GAY, still GAY. I only wrote this in the afternoon of the 23rd.

In the morning, I visited a client in County A. The conversation with the chairman went really well—we aligned on many strategic directions. The client even specifically requested for me to lead the project. My partner L, to be honest, didn’t have much room to speak at the beginning. Later, when the conversation turned to gossip, she brought up some vague rumors about state-owned enterprise executives in City S being taken away, but she didn’t know the details, so it came out sounding pretty confusing. Frankly, without me, her company wouldn’t even be capable of delivering a project. However, I must admit she’s done a good job in maintaining client stickiness.

Now I have to think about whether I should register my own firm in City G—and whether to initially use someone else’s name. So far, it seems necessary to do so, just to avoid creating any friction with L, which could potentially affect my collaborations with other consulting firms.

I had lunch with my family at noon. I could have left later, but considering my parents’ afternoon nap, I left early so they wouldn’t stay up waiting. As a result, I ended up waiting a long time at the airport. The flight kept getting delayed and the gate was changed several times. The first change was from Gate 10 to 12, which I saw in the Flight Manager app. But I didn’t get any notification for the second change. I kept waiting at Gate 12 like an idiot until nearly 5:30 p.m., when I suddenly heard my name being called over the loudspeaker urging me to board. Only then did I refresh the app and realize the gate had changed to 32. I dragged my suitcase a long way and even jogged a bit to get there.

While rushing to Gate 32, I passed a Starbucks and saw a really attractive guy coming from the opposite direction—he really made my GAYdar light up. Very good-looking. After boarding, I even opened Blued to see if he was on there, but no luck. Maybe he’s just not into my type.

J talked to me about some work progress the other day, but I wasn’t paying much attention. She wanted to discuss it that night, but since I only arrived in City J after 8 p.m., by the time I got to the office it would have been past 9, so we dropped it. I didn’t really want to talk to her anyway. She’s young and arrogant—really not worth my time to correct. Sure, she has her strengths, but she’s not the kind of person I’d want in my company if I were running one.

Since I was the last to board, a special airport shuttle took me directly to the plane. By then, there was no space left for my luggage up front, so I had to store it further back. A woman was sitting in my seat, and when I told her it was mine, she realized she’d made a mistake—although her seat number was “B,” I suspected she did it on purpose to get the window seat. The person next to me also tried to take my spot but I made them move. Who wants to sit in the middle seat? Especially between two greasy men. I don’t know why, but nowadays men’s breath is particularly awful—even without opening their mouths, just their nose-breath is unbearable. Being sandwiched between two stinky guys is absolutely miserable.

Thinking back, on the way to County A in the morning, L once again brought up questions about my wife. I’m not sure if she’s suspicious or what (I always tell people at work that I’m married but on a DINK path). Anyway, I really dislike how she oversteps boundaries like that. But compared to some people in City Q’s professional circles, her sense of boundaries is actually decent. On the way back from County A, she talked to me about company financial management, which reminded me that I really do need to figure out how to manage the money. Right now, it seems I’m only getting half the project income, while the company gets the other half. I need to get a clearer picture of things like day-to-day expenses and make sure she doesn’t funnel the money into her own pocket. Especially when she starts going on about “working hard together” and “not fussing over gains and losses.”

We need to set some rules—for example, project execution expenses should be covered by us personally, but any costs related to client acquisition should be borne by the company.

Next, I need to engage more with companies in City G. Hopefully, I can help solve some of their problems and also learn more about business practices and the art of management from them.

顾着玩游戏，以及工作事情也比较多，一直没上心写这个日志，日拱一卒，虽GAY但GAY。这是23日下午才写的。

上午去的A县客户处，与客户董事长相谈甚好，许多方向是一致的。客户还提出要求得我来做。合伙人L一开始其实并不易插上话，后面聊起了八卦，她才讲了些S市一些国企负责人被抓走的一些事情，但是她并不清楚具体情况，所以也讲得很奇怪。她这个公司说实话，如果没有我，根本没有做项目的能力。但是在客户黏性上面，她确实做得很好。我现在也要考虑下，我如果在G市设立自己的公司，是不是要先用别人的名字。我目前看是要用别人的名字，避免我与L的合作产生罅隙，乃至影响我与其他咨询公司的合作。

中午与家人吃了午饭，本来是可以晚点再走的，但考虑到爸妈午休，我如果晚走的话，他们肯定等到我走了才开始休息，所以我干脆早点离家了。结果在机场等了好久，飞机一再延误，还变动了几次登机口。第一次变动我在航旅纵横上面看到通知由10号变为12号，第二次都没收到通知，我傻傻一直在12号等到很晚，后来大概是到5点半左右听到广播里大声喊我名字，催我登机，我才刷新了下APP，看到变到32号登机了。我拖着行李箱走了老远才到，还小跑了一段。

我在赶往32号登机口的过程中，在经过星巴克后，迎面来了一位让我GAY达狂响的小哥，挺好看的。后来我登机了，还特地打开小蓝看看有没有他。但似乎没有，也可能他也不会喜欢我这一类型。

J那天和我说了些工作推进的事情，我不太上心。她本来想当天与我讨论的，但由于我到J市已经八点多了，再赶往公司就九点多了，就算了。我也不想跟她讨论什么东西，年少无知又自以为是，不值得我浪费时间精力去纠正她。当然她有她的长处，但不是我这一类人，我如果搞公司，我也不会要这种人。

由于我是最后一个登机的，一辆机场大巴专门把我送到飞机处，我上去后前方都没有放行李箱的空间了，只好往后放。我的位置上坐着一位大姐，我跟她说那是我的位置，她才明白她坐错了，虽然她知道她的序号是B，我心里想的是她故意的，就想坐窗边。我边上那人也想坐我的位置，被我赶走了。谁想坐中间？特别是坐在两个油腻男的中间，现在的男人不知道为啥，嘴巴特别臭，不张口，鼻子呼出的气都很臭，夹在两个臭男人中间，一点都不开心。

想起来上午去A县路上，L又在问我老婆的事，我也不晓得她心里是不是在怀疑什么（我在工作上都跟人说我结婚了，但是走丁克道路），总之我特别讨厌她这种缺乏边界的做法，但是相较Q市一些职场上的人的做法而言，她的边界感又是把握得比较好的了。从A县回来的路上，她跟我聊了关于公司资金管理的问题，我确实得好好想想资金如何管理了。因为现在看来项目我只能拿到一半，公司能拿到所有的一半。我也要搞清楚这一块，比如日常开支是多少，避免她把资金挪到自己口袋里。特别是当她开始一个劲地说一些“一起努力”“不计较得失”之类的话。

一些规则得定下来。比如做项目的开支就由我们个人来承担了，但是谈单的开支就得由公司承担了。

接下来要多与G市的企业多接触了，希望能解决他们的问题点，也希望能从他们那学到更多的业务知识、管理艺术。
