After the meeting, Wu Jianhua, the director of the marketing department, took Mr. Xu's instructions and went back to his department to look around. He found that everyone was busy with something, so he randomly grabbed a new employee.
"I'll give you a mission. You fly to Jiangcheng."
Holding the coffee he made for his colleagues, Du Ziteng was stunned for a moment and said, "Jiang Cheng?"
"Yes, this is a task personally assigned by Mr. Xu. Our department is asked to investigate the development team of Temple Escape, especially to find out who wrote the plan for the game." Wu Jianhua patted his arm with the meeting minutes, looking old-fashioned. He continued without losing any seriousness, "This arduous and glorious task is left to you!"
How can it be so easy to conduct background checks on other companies' companies, and the checks are on relatively sensitive personnel matters? It's not like just making a phone call and asking questions. Maybe you have to use some tricks to test the other party's employees. professional ethics.
Although the credit must be his own, of course Wu Jianhua would not do such a thankless job by himself. The best choice would be to find someone who doesn't understand.
It's done, that's his credit.
If it doesn't work, there is someone who can take the blame.
Obviously, this newcomer is a good choice.
Just as Old Wu expected, Brother Du didn't expect that much at all. He only heard that it was a task given by the boss, and his expression instantly changed from confused to excited, thinking that he had been promoted.
"Mr. Xu's mission? But, I... am just a newcomer, is it really okay?"
"No problem, no problem, no problem at all," Wu Jianhua waved his hand and continued earnestly, "Xiao Du, you have been here for a few months, and your work ability is obvious to all. I am very optimistic about you. The mission is mainly to train you."
"Thank you so much!"
"Thank you for what? We are all colleagues."
Seeing the newcomer's stunned look, Wu Jianhua laughed in his heart, but did not show any expression on his face. Instead, he gave him an encouraging look.
"Put the work at hand aside and get ready now."
Du Ziteng raised his head and chest with an excited expression on his face.
"yes!"
…
The campus of Jiangcheng University.
Standing at the school gate waiting for someone, Hao Yun took out his mobile phone and checked the time, and found that there was only one minute left before the agreed three o'clock in the afternoon.
Just when he was about to send a message and ask, someone from behind tapped him on the shoulder.
"Hey."
Looking back, he saw a girl wearing an apricot suspender shirt and white sandals looking at him with a smile on her face. The dimples on the cheeks are the finishing touch, and they don’t require much elaborate makeup to bring out that youthful and beautiful feeling.
From the orange hairband tied into a butterfly shape and the scent of citrus blowing in the wind, Hao Yun could roughly tell that she must have dressed up carefully before going out.
"Hello, Senior Hao Yun." Looking at Hao Yun who had not responded for a long time, Xu Xiaoruan jumped in front of him and waved his little hand with a smile, "Are you there? If you keep staring at me like this, I will be shy. Yes."
After coming back to his senses, Hao Yun hesitated and said.
"...Senior?"
"It's nothing, I just feel that you have a special aura about you, as if you are much older than me," Xu Xiaoruan continued in a joking tone, "But once you put it into perspective, this title is quite easy to pronounce."
Hao Yun sighed.
"Are you trying to say that I look older?"
"How is that possible?" Xu Xiaoruan smiled and said, "You can be more confident in your appearance."
Good-looking
Hao Yun didn't feel much about this compliment.
After all, people only care about what they lack and don’t show much interest in what they already have.
After ending the topic, he spoke.
"Do you need me to call a car?"
"No, no, it's very close. You can walk there. Come with me."
Looking at Xu Xiaoruan walking forward, Hao Yun also followed.
Probably last night.
This classmate Xu sent him a WeChat message and asked him to accompany her to the piano room, saying that it was to rehearse the program for the welcome party.
It happened that there were no other plans for the afternoon, and after hearing her say that the piano room was not far from the school, Hao Yun agreed.
Indeed, as she said, the two of them arrived at their destination not long after walking.
Moreover, it turned out to be the same place where he went to record before.
After showing his VIP card to the waiter, Xu Xiaoruan looked back at Hao Yun and winked at him.
"This is where I usually practice."
Although he didn't deliberately observe it, Hao Yun still saw it with his peripheral vision. The color of the card seemed to be black or purple.
However, he didn't say anything, he just looked around and said as if it was his first time.
“The environment is not bad.”
Xu Xiaoruan smiled playfully.
"Hey, are you okay?"
"It's really good, but practicing piano here isn't cheap, right?"
"My dad got me the card."
I don't know why, but Hao Yun always felt that when he said this, his soft side face was slightly cold.
But, maybe it's just an illusion.
Because in the next moment, she suddenly approached, reached out and gently pulled down his sleeve, with a soft smile on her face.
"Senior? Which girl are you looking at?"
"...No," Hao Yun subconsciously took half a step back. Not quite used to this distance, Hao Yun changed the subject with a slightly embarrassed expression, "Speaking of which, why don't you change your name? It feels weird. "
"Then... Brother Yun?" Xu Xiaoruan looked at him and blinked.
“…”
Hao Yun didn't say anything, so he acquiesced.
Although he felt that it was still a little too familiar, it was at least a little better than the strange title before.
After walking along the corridor to the room, Hao Yun, who was the last to enter, closed the soundproof door and found a chair nearby to sit down.
Looking at Xu Xiaoruan who walked to the window and played with the angle of the curtains, he asked casually.
"Speaking of which, your piano is already level 10, do you still need to practice?"
Piano level ten.
Although it can only be considered a beginner level for professionals, it is already very strong for amateurs like him. So far, there are only two songs that he can play smoothly, one is that fireworks get cold easily, and the other is that he is a pirate.
"Of course I need it. Besides, I haven't chosen the music yet. I also want you to help me with my advice," Xu Xiaoruan curled his lips and continued, "Besides, practicing piano is very boring. I'm here for you. I signed up for the orientation party, don’t you think you should at least accompany me during rehearsals?”
Is this the condition she mentioned before
Hao Yun couldn't think of any reason to refute.
Looking at Hao Yun who was silent, Xu Xiaoruan put his fingers on the keys and played the prelude of two etudes at will. Although it is a piece I have never heard before, judging from her smooth fingering and smart melody, her level should be much more than Level 10.
After the song was played, the slender fingers retracted from the keys.
Tilting his head slightly, Xu Xiaoruan looked at Hao Yun.
"By the way, Brother Yun."
"Um?"
"Who was the girl who went to the library with you yesterday?"
"Friend, what's wrong?"
She replied "Oh" in a long tone, and just when Hao Yun was about to ask, "Why are you asking about this?", she suddenly smiled and changed the topic.
"Want to learn?"
"Um?"
"I noticed you were reading music theory books in the library. Brother Yun probably wants to learn piano, right?" The dimples on his cheeks bloomed slightly, and Xu Xiaoruan blinked, "I can teach you."
If the last sentence were taken alone, combined with the scheming dimples and the sunlight that just passed through the window eaves at four o'clock in the afternoon, Hao Yun admitted that it was quite tempting.
However…
At this moment, his heart suddenly tightened.
Not because of heartbeat.
But pure nervousness.
When she talked about the library earlier, although Hao Yun felt a little strange, he didn't think much about it. But I didn't expect that this guy actually knew what books he was reading, and even judged that he wanted to learn piano. This was a bit abnormal.
This guy…
Could it be a stalker
Hao Yun, who had so many secrets hidden in his heart, was all tense.
"Senior, you seem very nervous?"
"Ahem, no, it's your illusion."
"Want to learn?" Xu Xiaoruan patted the cushion next to him, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly, "I can teach you."
how to teach
Step by step instruction
Although she didn't say it explicitly, and she definitely didn't mean to think wrong, the warm light and innocent eyes made Hao Yun feel that there was a voice whispering in his ear.
past.
Then sit down... a der!
How could it pass!
There is definitely something wrong with this guy!
Hao Yun did not make any move, and Xu Xiaoruan did not continue to speak.
The air just became quiet.
Just when the atmosphere was about to turn awkward, the phone suddenly rang, which relieved Hao Yun.
"I'll take a call."
Seeing Hao Yun standing up while pointing to his cell phone, Xu Xiaoruan was not discouraged. He just smiled and nodded, then turned his head and put his fingers on the keys.
Hao Yun did not hesitate, took the phone and walked out of the door immediately. He breathed a sigh of relief and pressed the connect button.
"Hello?"
On the other end of the phone came Li Zongzheng's voice.
"Boss, I've finished the dance you asked for."
Upon hearing this, Hao Yun was immediately surprised, and his previous nervousness was swept away.
"So fast?"
"That is required!"
"Very good, well done!" Hao Yun took two steps to the side and continued, "The focus of your work next will be the Temple Escape... Work hard, and you will get a big red envelope at the end of the month!"
"Okay boss!" Li Zongzheng said enthusiastically, "Do you need me to upload the game package?"
"No, no, you just put the project-related things with Mr. Lin. Our business focus now is still on Temple Escape. Just maintain this project. I will recruit more people for you after this month." .”
"Ook!"
Human energy has its limits, and so does an enterprise.
Maintaining a game is no easier than developing one. Even if Dianqu Select takes over the operation and maintenance of Temple Escape, Yunmeng Games still needs to do the background updates.
Although Li Zongzheng has some talent, his hard-working spirit honed on the construction site also laid a solid foundation for him to adapt to his current position. But it’s still a bit too embarrassing for one person to manage two projects at the same time.
After hanging up the phone, Hao Yun waited for a few seconds and continued to call Lin Jun.
As soon as the call was connected, he spoke.
"You can take over the Tiaoyitiao project and help me contact a more reliable model studio... Yes, the frame will be kept and all the models will be replaced!"
"I'll send your specific needs to your email tonight..."
