Deluge - Chapter 40

[Chapter 40]

The illness came like a mountain, and the illness went away like a thread. Xu Juan’s menacing cold took a week and a half to completely recover.

But although he was cured, his relationship with Pei Yu entered a delicate period of cold war.

After Xu Juan recovered, he was no longer affected by the fever, and his mind became much clearer.

He could understand Pei Yu’s approach, it was nothing more than that he still loved him, but he was not reconciled – who could immediately forgive the murderer and greet him with a smile after being severely injured once? With him, Pei Yuken has made a considerable step backward.

However, in the relationship there is no retreat, only reluctance.

It is because of reluctance that love has been boiled into hate.

Xu Juan wants to repair their relationship.

But Pei Yu was really indifferent to him, and he couldn’t even try to please him.

When he was chasing Pei Yu before, Pei Yu was also indifferent to strangers, but he soon saw through it, it was a disguise, Pei Yu himself was a little clumsy, and his mind was quite simple.

Now he feels that Pei Yu is probably no longer a disguise. When a person is cold to a certain extent, every cold look in his eyes comes from the bottom of his heart. He wanted Pei Yu to laugh, but Pei Yu probably wouldn’t be able to laugh.

Xu Juan reflected, was it because his confession was too sudden, causing Pei Yu to suddenly fall from the paradise of happiness into the abyss? It seems not.

They had conflicts before, but every time he encountered a conflict, he tried every means to fool him, making Pei Yu feel very insecure. He tried to communicate with him again and again, but he refused to communicate. These conflicts appeared on the surface. It was solved, but seeds of distrust were planted in Pei Yu’s heart, until the truth was revealed, and they broke out together.

So, this is called self-eating.

Xu Juan was very bitter. The most bitter thing was that he wanted to use Pei Yu as a safe haven and draw a little love from Pei Yu when he failed in life.

As a result, Pei Yu was even colder. He couldn’t raise his head in front of Pei Yu. Whenever Pei Yu looked at him with that almost indescribable strange look, he would have a subtle sense of fear in his heart. Pei Yu grabbed his throat and hung it on the tip of the knife, for fear that if Pei Yu let go, he would be shattered to pieces.

Xu Juan began to lose sleep.

They slept on the same bed. Every night, he would take the initiative to hug Pei Yu, but sometimes Pei Yu would let him hold him, and sometimes he would push him away. What kind of rules are used to control “Yinqing”, maybe there are no rules, just torturing him on purpose.

Pei Yu has changed, this time for real.

However, Xu Juan “did not dare to speak out.” After a week of insomnia, Xu Juan caught a cold again, but this time the problem was not serious. He took medicine and went to work as usual.

The last time I talked to Xu Qingguang on the phone, he expressed his wishes to his family, but his father didn’t listen and insisted on taking care of him and inserting someone into his company.

This person’s name is Jiao Hang. It is said that he is a relatively young and promising CEO under his father. He has been transferred several times. Every time he goes to a branch, he can bring the performance of that branch up. He is a man who can turn corruption into magic. characters.

The reason why he asked a young man to take him may be that his father felt that it would be too humiliating to have an uncle to assist him, and the young man was easy to talk to.

However, the “young” in Xu Jiren’s mouth is different from the “young” that Xu Juan thinks. Jiao Hang is thirty-six years old this year, and he is ten years older than Xu Juan.

When he came, he didn’t say hello to Xu Juan in advance. Xu Juan went to the company to see that someone had arrived and was standing at the door of his office, waiting for him.

Xu Juan took a closer look, Jiao Hang was in a suit and leather shoes, his hair was combed brightly, and his style was even bigger than him.

He thought to himself, what is this called? Imperial envoy? Holding the sword of Shang Fang, to discipline him? His father really didn’t care about his thoughts at all, and he obviously treated him as a waste, so he would find such a person and let him hide behind the young and promising President Jiao as a puppet.

Xu Juan felt sad in his heart.

Judging from what he did in the past, his thoughts really don’t deserve anyone’s attention. Now not only Pei Yu doesn’t trust him, but his parents don’t trust him either. Let him be decent and go back to his original world.

But Xu Juan didn’t want to go back.

Some people are like this, the more they are looked down upon, the more tempered they become. Although there is no capital to play with tempers, he can at least choose to take the consequences at his own risk. Even if he dies outside, he is alone.

Xu Juan was very unhappy in his heart, but he didn’t show Jiao Hang a face because of it.

He politely welcomed Jiao Hang in. After all, the family is also a “chief”. He was assigned to take him. It was definitely not a matter of money or not. It was because of his father’s face and listened to the arrangement of the old man. Suffering, he can’t afford to live with others.

Xu Juan was not in a hurry to send the person away. Jiao Hang stayed as long as he wanted. What should he do? If this person has a wink, it’s better to deal with the errand, and don’t point fingers at him.

But he obviously underestimated the cruelty of his father. Jiao Hang may have been given a death order. He repeatedly hinted that “leave me alone”.

Xu Juan really didn’t expect that this imperial commissioner was so direct. Although he had a good attitude on the surface, he was allowed to sit in the main seat during the meeting and spoke very politely, but the whole company knew what Jiao Hang was. The people from this place are different from the people from his father and his brother. There are no professional elites here. Most of the gamers are technical nerds, and they have been with his unreliable boss for a long time, and they are all lazy. Jiao Hang swept his eyes, and the whole conference room was full of “crooked melons and cracked dates”, Xu Juan blushed with embarrassment.

Jiao Hang came prepared and delivered an in-depth speech on the situation of their company.

Although every sentence is very polite, the central idea is: you can’t do this or that. You also criticized the new game that they have recently opened the internal beta test, and ask them to change the way of play and the way of operation, otherwise they will still be Can’t make money.

It’s okay to criticize others. When it comes to games, Xu Juan is inevitably dissatisfied.

The so-called interlaced is like a mountain, no matter how brilliant his previous resume is, and he has never played games, why does he point at them professionals? Administration and technology are two different things.

I’m afraid that Mr. Jiao usually doesn’t have time to play games. A person who doesn’t understand games actually came to teach him how to play games?

Xu Juan was full of anger, endured and endured, and said euphemistically: “Actually, although our company does not make money, the quality of the games we make is still good.”

This is not self-proclaimed, Xu Juan’s employees are all right. He doesn’t have any dissatisfaction, so what if the company doesn’t make money? Mr. Xu is still paid, and the workload is small, and his creativity is free. In the past two years, Juanliu’s planning can do whatever type of game he wants. Xu Juan doesn’t care, let them play at will, anyway, it’s all money-losing goods, he doesn’t care what kind of game he uses Posture loses money.

Because of this, most of the people he recruited when he started his business followed him, except for those who resigned. This is Xu Juan’s team, not some hidden Daniel team, but it is not much worse than others.

In the past, there were also talents with ideals and pursuits. Who would not want to make a classic and good game that lasts for a long time?

It is a pity that Xu Juan suffered setbacks at the beginning, and his team failed to grow up.

However, after Xu Juan finished speaking, Jiao Hang looked at him puzzled as if he had heard something strange: “Quality? Isn’t the game just for entertainment, the flow rate is too low, it means that the entertainment is not enough, not fun, not fun? A game is not a good game, so what quality is there to talk about?”

“…”

Xu Juan almost got a heartbreak. In his heart, games are also a kind of literary and artistic works. Any work is divided into unpopular and popular. Unpopular games do not mean bad quality. Games, but Mr. Jiao must not understand such words, and he has no confidence to say it – unless he is not bad at money now.

Xu Juan was exhausted. After a meeting was over, he almost lost his life.

When he came out of the conference room, the planners who had just had a meeting with him were all wilted. Xu Juan wanted to comfort him, or scolded Jiao Hang with his own people, but he saw the same frustration as himself on their faces. When he got to his mouth, he

couldn’t say it.

The older you get, the more likely you are to feel frustrated.

“Mediocre” is a self-mutilating knife, the more the wheel of time rolls forward, the deeper it penetrates.

Xu Juan felt that he and Jiao Hang really had nothing to say. Jiao Hang was a typical elite, and he looked at him with a bright sense of superiority in every look—it might be because he had a guilty conscience, he was prejudiced against others, and he felt that others look down on him.

Xu Juan was sitting in the office playing the game. It was the new game that was in the internal beta test. At the beginning, Li Mengzhou was hired as an endorser.

Now he can’t afford it.

While playing, he looked at the “rectification plan” that Jiao Hang had just drawn up.

Jiao Hang obviously doesn’t understand games, but he is a businessman and is very good at taking chances. Xu Juan knew at a glance that his plan was basically to imitate other people’s gameplay, learn from other people’s successful experience, and even copy some content.

It is not uncommon for the game circle to copy each other.

But no matter how Xu Juan thought and responded, he felt more and more that his father sent him this surnamed Jiao, which was purely torturing him.

Xu Juan stayed up until the end of get off work, dizzy and dizzy. Before leaving the company, he took the cold medicine.

He received a message on his mobile phone, which was an account receipt notice: 50,000.

He sold his watch, a precious watch of more than 200,000 yuan, and sold it to a second-hand platform at a low price of 50,000 yuan, and he lost money to his grandmother’s house.

But Xu Juan was really short of money, he couldn’t save face and asked others to borrow it, so he had to do it.

When I get home from get off work, I still take the subway.

Pei Yu came back earlier than him. When Xu Juan entered the door, Pei Yu was cooking. He took off his suit jacket, walked into the kitchen, and hugged Pei Yu from behind.

Pei Yu was washing vegetables when Xu Juan stretched out his hand and was splashed with cold water.

Xu Juan didn’t say anything. Even now, he still regards Pei Yu as a safe haven. No matter how much wind and rain there is outside, at least at this moment, he doesn’t want to worry about anything. As long as Pei Yu can accompany him to say a few words, his mood will change. will get better.

“Mr. Pei.” Xu Juan kissed Pei Yu’s neck from behind, “I miss you.” The

sound of washing dishes stopped, and Pei Yu turned off the tap.

Xu Juan couldn’t help but pressed closer, hugging Pei Yu’s waist, resting his chin on his shoulder.

Maybe Xu Juan was too enthusiastic, so sticky that people couldn’t refuse, Pei Yu replied in a low voice, “What do you want to eat at night?”

“Anything is fine, I like to eat whatever you make.”

“…”

Pei Yu didn’t speak any more , only reached out and nudged him to keep him out of the way in the kitchen.

Xu Juan went back to the room to change out of his formal clothes, and then sat down at the dining table, like a primary school student, holding the bowl obediently and waiting for the breeder to feed him.

Pei Yu didn’t let him wait too long, a dish, a soup, and rice were served quickly.

Today is a rare good atmosphere. Although it is not warm, at least it is not so cold.

Halfway through the meal, Xu Juan remembered something: “By the way, look at WeChat, Mr. Pei.”

“…” After hearing his words, Pei Yu picked up the phone.

Xu Juan said: “I only have so much for the time being. I keep a little for myself, and transfer the rest to you.”

He transferred the money to Pei Yu, 48,000.

He thinks that Pei Yu’s attitude towards him is so bad recently, and it has some influence in this regard. When you are in love, you can talk about everything. When the relationship between the two deteriorates, you should not take more than a cent or a dime. Otherwise, whenever the blackface quarrels, he will be unable to raise his head more and more, and Pei Yu will not look down on him.

It’s really useless for a man to have no money.

But he thought he did the right thing, and the money was transferred, but Pei Yu’s expression was not very good.

Xu Juan lowered his head to eat, only to hear the chopsticks on the opposite side, Pei Yu pushed the bowl, and left the table with a cold face, and then, when the study door was closed, Pei Yuyi did not come out all night.
