Deluge - Chapter 31

[Chapter 31]

Pei Yu’s marriage room was much larger than the staff dormitory he had in the school. After they moved in, it was too late and tired. The two decided to make the bed first, rest for a while, and tidy up the room tomorrow.

Lying on the bed and turning off the light, Xu Juan felt a trance.

Yesterday he was still playing in the world, but today the world suddenly turned upside down, and he had to “rely on others”.

He knew that the problem wasn’t that serious. As long as he bowed his head and apologized, he could immediately resume his life in fine clothes and food, but he didn’t want to go back.

Some retreats, which seem to be retreats, are actually dead ends.

Xu Juan turned over in the dark, hugged Pei Yu, and felt a little comfort when he touched the familiar warm body.

It feels so good to have someone with you. Although I struggle a bit, I am not lonely at all.

“By the way, Teacher Pei.” Xu Juan suddenly said, “Today is Teacher’s Day, I almost forgot, I wish you a happy holiday.”

Pei Yu laughed.

Xu Juan said, “It’s a pity that it’s too late to prepare a gift.”

With a move in his heart, he suddenly got out of bed, turned on the light, and ran to the living room.

“What are you doing?” Pei Yu sat up.

Xu Juan’s voice came from the living room: “Wait a moment!”

“…”

Pei Yu was waiting on the bed, he couldn’t see what he was doing outside, only heard a rustling sound, and after a few minutes, Xu Juan came back .

With his right hand behind his back, he pushed the door with the other and walked in front of Pei Yu.

“Happy Teacher’s Day.” Xu Juan said again, then showed his right hand, “Send you.”

It was a flower, a paper flower.

The white paper is folded into the shape of a flower, and the “petals” are wrapped with ribbons cut from pink plastic bags. White and pink are alternated. Although the appearance is a bit rough, it looks good at first glance. beauty.

Pei Yu was slightly startled: “You are amazing, thank you.”

He took the flowers from Xu Juan, and his eyes were full of joy. Xu Juan leaned over to kiss him, took the paper flower out of his hand, and put it on the bedside. No worries, the two rolled on the sheets for a long time, and then fell asleep hugging each other after they had kissed enough.

…

So tired yesterday, Pei Yu still got up at half past six the next morning.

With him, Xu Juan couldn’t sleep either.

Xu Juan didn’t recognize the bed, but there was something in his heart. He didn’t sleep well last night. When he took a shower, he looked in the mirror and found that he had dark circles under his eyes. It wasn’t obvious, but it did exist, which made his face a little haggard.

“It’s over.” Xu Juan sighed very comically, “My young master’s beauty is about to wither, how can I get along in the future?”

Pei Yu passed the bathroom door and gave him a dissatisfied look: “Where do you want to go?”

Xu Juan fell silent immediately.

This is the day when the sun rises as usual. A mere little President Xu, even if his world is turned upside down and turned upside down again, it will not have any impact on this truly big world.

Pei Yu had to go to work on time, and he had to start thinking about what to do in the future.

Regarding the future, Pei Yu gave him some advice.

During breakfast, Pei Yu talked to him first, got to know the actual situation of his company, and then asked him: “Is there any help for the company? Do you want to save it?”

Xu Juan said, “I do.”

If he doesn’t want to, he doesn’t have to spend so much money every year to maintain his business. If he just finds something to do for himself, he can go to his own company to make a living.

But Xu Juan insisted that he wanted to have a company of his own, which he could barely call a career. Although his career was half-dead, it was something that belonged to him, and he could get some comfort from it.

However, what used to be comfort has now turned into stress.

The advice Pei Yu can give him is just a suggestion, let him figure out his thoughts, find a direction, and then work hard, or give up as soon as possible, so as not to let himself be dragged down further.

But Pei Yu is a scholar and has no knowledge of business. After the suggestion is made, what to do is still Xu Juan’s own business, and he can only carry it himself.

Xu Juan faintly felt that Pei Yu wanted him to give up.

Pei Yu seems to be very keen on raising him, wishing that he would not go out, write and draw two pictures at home every day, that would be great.

But Pei Yu is a serious intellectual after all, and he is a more civilized person. He knows that this kind of thinking is selfish, and even suspected of “straight male cancer”, and he does not respect Xu Juan’s independent personality – if Xu Juan has such a thing Therefore, Pei Yu only vaguely expressed his desire and did not tell Xu Juanming.

He didn’t say it, but Xu Juan understood it.

Xu Juan is not high at any level, but he has high emotional intelligence. How could he not see Pei Yu’s careful thinking?

But Xu Juan pretended not to see it.

He has been a rice worm raised by his parents for more than 20 years, and now he changes his place and continues to be a rice worm raised by his boyfriend. Is it interesting? It’s better to go home.

After breakfast, Xu Juan and Pei Yu went out together. They both went to work, but in different ways.

Pei Yu Road is near and Xu Juan Road is far away, so take the subway.

Pei Yu personally sent him to the subway station, and helped him download a subway payment APP on his mobile phone, tied his bank card, and told him that he would not have to wait in line to buy tickets.

Xu Juan sighed and said quietly, “Pei Yu, in your heart, am I a retarded and rich second generation who has no ability to live and who can’t even ride the subway?”

“…”

Pei Yu choked: “I’m not worried, I thought you never took the subway bus before…”

He was a little embarrassed, but very sincere, and his concern was written on his face.

The feeling in Xu Juan’s heart is not to mention complicated. He suddenly discovered that when he looked at the world from another angle, the scenery he saw was indeed different, and even Pei Yu was different from before.

What was Pei Yu like before?

Xu Juan can only see the parts he chooses to see. In his eyes, Pei Yu can be a picture of a beautiful woman, a little dragon girl who is ignorant of the world, or a pure heroine of an idol drama. What Xu Juan wants to appreciate, he is what.

Only not a flesh and blood Pei Yu.

Now Xu Juan vaguely felt that he had touched Pei Yu’s flesh and blood.

Pei Yu left the picture scroll, walked down the snow-capped mountains, and became the real person in front of him.

An ordinary man who loves him, cares about him, and is willing to do many little things for him.

“Okay, I see.” Xu Juan hugged Pei Yu, “Don’t worry, we’ll send WeChat something.”

He said goodbye to Pei Yu, turned around and entered the subway station.

…

When we arrived at the office, it was a quarter past nine.

As the saying goes, the upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked. As a boss, Xu Juan does not work well. Where can his employees be diligent?

He came so early today, and many people didn’t show up. The office was empty, and only a few were at their desks, either eating breakfast or yawning. When everyone saw him, they all showed a ghost. expression.

“Mr. Xu, Mr. Xu, good morning!”

“Good morning.” Xu Juan replied, so many people were late, he didn’t see it, he went inside and entered his office.

His company is small, but compared to many independent studios common in the industry, it is a relatively large game company.

Games are not easy to do these days. Xu Juan can’t remember why he started playing games in the first place. Maybe it was because he was young at the time, and his friends were also young people. Now is the Internet age, and most young people’s hobbies are nothing more than those few hobbies. kind.

Xu Juan doesn’t know anything about other industries, so it’s better to start with what he knows better, so he registered a game company as soon as his brain became hot.

His company is called “Trickle,” which specializes in mobile games.

When making the first few mobile games, Xu Juan was in the period of enthusiasm for starting a business. During the production process of the game, he often stayed up late to change the plan, and he was too busy to eat.

But his thinking is fundamentally flawed.

In the first game, he was just a fledgling, and he had never been beaten by the market, and his thinking mode was very ideal. At that time, he thought, I want to make a game that is different from others. I will not compromise with business. Anyway, I am not bad for money. The most important thing is interesting gameplay and high-level production. With such sincerity, I will definitely be able to build a reputation.

Then it got cold.

Xu Juan didn’t understand why it was cold.

For the second game, he absorbed the lessons of the last time and wanted to try the business model. Therefore, he borrowed the production and operation ideas of his predecessors, completely followed the commercialization route, and developed a mobile game for gold fishing. Unfortunately, the gold was not found. , it’s cold again.

Xu Juan couldn’t figure it out.

He invested big enough, found an excellent distribution platform, and even invited celebrities to endorse. He would rather lose money and make a profit, but unfortunately, the money was invested, and the effort was not spent. In the end, “the game is not fun”, and no one can be left.

How can it be fun? This is a question that has plagued Xu Juan day and night.

There are only those kinds of fun modes. The same type of games emerge in an endless stream. Everyone wants to take a share of the money-making type, which leads to more and more homogenization, but it is so difficult to stand out.

And in this era where everyone is copying and copying each other, it is even more difficult to innovate and innovate at a level.

In addition, there are policy restrictions, and some internal management problems in the company-

innumerable problems are pressing on Xu Juan’s head. When he walked into the office today, he had another headache.

At the beginning, he really had a hole in his brain to make games, but then again, games are not easy to do, so how can they be easy to do?

Three hundred and sixty lines, lines are fire pits.

Xu Juan asked the secretary, Xiao Lin, to buy coffee. He was not used to working so early, and was a little sleepy.

Xiao Lin heard about what happened at his house, but in her opinion, the prince is still a prince in the folks, so Xiao Xu is so stressed, with “sorrow” written all over her face, she can’t understand.

“Your coffee.” Xiao Lin glanced at Xu Juan quietly and whispered, “By the way, Mr. Xu, Li Mengzhou is coming to the company today, did you know?”

How could Xu Juan know: “What is he doing here?

” Yeah.” Kobayashi considered his words and said cautiously, “When he and you, ahem…in the past, didn’t he sign our company’s new tour endorsement?”

“…”

Oh, it turned out to be a problem left over from history.

Xu Juan didn’t remember this at all.

He didn’t care whether Li Mengzhou came or not. His first reaction turned out to be: Has the endorsement fee been paid? If he hasn’t paid yet, Li Mengzhou is so popular, it must not be cheap. What is he paying for now?

Xu Juan’s head suddenly hurt even more.

Xiaolin thought that it was because he didn’t want to see Li Mengzhou, so he said thoughtfully, “He came to the company to shoot the scene, and it will be over soon. I will remind you, try not to let him meet you.”

Xu Juan said unintentionally and waved his hand. , and asked Xiao Lin to go out.

Xiao Lin’s flattery slapped the horse’s leg and walked away embarrassed.

Xu Juan sat in the office for a while, and then decided to hold a meeting to explain the current situation, and then rectify the internal problems of the company.

The meeting had been on for several hours, and Xu Juan had already left Li Mengzhou behind.

After the meeting, he went to the bathroom to wash his hands, and was suddenly pulled by the corner of his clothes.

Xu Juan was stunned for a moment, followed the power to look back, and saw Li Mengzhou walking out of the corner with his head lowered, his expression blocked by the messy bangs, looking at his appearance, it seemed that he wanted to approach him but was too afraid to approach him. Appearing, he timidly said: “Brother, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time, can we talk a few words?”

“…”
