When Huo Ran logged into pp, he saw that Dr. Tao had indeed sent him a message. When he was about to reply, he saw an unread message from Huo Zhendong in the list.
[Being contented is always happy: There have been changes in the investment in that game company in northern Shanxi. After re-evaluation, it was decided to invest only 30% of the shares, and derivative development has also been temporarily shelved, so there is no need to send people to stay there permanently.]
[Zhizu Changle: If you really want to go to northern Shanxi, there will be a game exhibition there next week. You can go and see if there are any projects worth doing that we can control.]
[Be contented:/shake hands/hold fists]
In order to encourage him to change his mobile phone, Huo Zhendong even at his old age specially registered an pp, which was used exclusively to send him messages. Unless there was an emergency, he would never call or text him.
From this point, it can be seen that he must be Huo Zhendong's biological son.
Huo Ran, who had been suffering from homosexual harassment recently and regretted not going to the Jinbei City project, complained to Huo Zhendong from time to time. It wasn't that he cared much about the project, he just wanted to escape from here openly and go on a business trip anywhere.
Seeing Huo Zhendong say this, Huo Ran's eyes immediately lit up.
Dr. Tao is in Jinbei City, and Huo Ran also knows his work address, Jinbei City Seventh Mental Hospital.
Yesterday, under the guidance of Dr. Tao, he successfully scared away Xia Xingxi, who had been pestering him for more than half a month. From now on, at least he won't have to worry about someone knocking on the door in the middle of the night. It is reasonable for him to go to the hospital to thank Dr. Tao in person. He is not a formal patient and does not pay any fees, so what should he do to show his gratitude
In his wandering thoughts, he was even considering what to write on the banner to be given to Dr. Tao.
Huo Ran stared at the "Type in Progress" button at the top of the dialog box and held his breath unconsciously.
If Dr. Tao is not averse to meeting netizens, he would like to treat Dr. Tao to a meal.
It was not until five minutes later that the message that Dr. Tao had spent half a day typing finally arrived.
[Tao: The weather in northern Shanxi is very good now, it will be very comfortable to come here. You can also go shopping after work, there are many snacks.]
[Tao: But I’m not familiar with this place, so I can’t recommend you good places to eat, drink and have fun. I remember there is a recommendation post in the travel section of Sky Forum, you can take a look.]
The two replies were not long, but Huo Ran read them over and over again, feeling a subtle sense of loss in his heart.
Huo Ran was sure that Dr. Tao knew what he was going to say next, so he took a step ahead and tactfully rejected the unspoken request for a meeting.
Huo Ran, who was trapped in depression, thought again. He and Dr. Tao had only known each other for a few days. Someone who valued privacy as much as Dr. Tao would definitely not want to meet a stranger rashly.
So Huo Ran decided to make up for his loss.
[hr: OK, thank you Dr. Tao.]
[hr: It’s a pity that my schedule is too busy this time, otherwise I would definitely come to thank Dr. Tao in person! ]
This time Dr. Tao replied very quickly.
[Tao: You’re welcome~]
[Tao: puppet bear dancing.gif]
Looking at the silly teddy bear in the center of the screen, Huo Ran skillfully clicked the right button to add it to the expression and breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
Fortunately, Dr. Tao didn't mind his abruptness.
It was now Dr. Tao's working hours, so Huo Ran did not continue to disturb him. He stared at Dr. Tao's system default avatar and couldn't help but become curious about Dr. Tao's life.
Dr. Tao has a regular schedule and loves his work. He is cautious but helpful. He has many cute emoticons but uses a simple original avatar. He likes to browse all kinds of posts online, but is not familiar with the city where he lives. What is the life of such a seemingly contradictory young man like
Huo Ran originally wanted to open Dr. Tao's personal space directly, but five or six years ago, when he suspected his sister Huo Sihan of being in a premature love relationship and secretly looked through her space to look for clues, Huo Sihan turned around and asked him why he was spying on her, which scared the guilty Huo Ran.
Not wanting Dr. Tao to have a bad impression of him, Huo Ran opened the All Updates page and scrolled through all his friends' updates.
However, his eyes were dazzled after looking through the posts until three months ago, but he did not see any message from Dr. Tao.
Huo Ran was a little disappointed and glanced at the status that Huo Sihan had just posted a few minutes ago.
[Dynamic] Your dad: It suddenly rained heavily on the island last night, and I was forced to work hard on my newly sprouted vegetable seedlings. I didn’t expect to miss the wild replies and exposure from the big guys. Cha Xing personally deleted the posts and banned the account. Woohoo, please give me some wonderful screenshots from the sisters on the list.
After what happened last night, Huo Ran became very sensitive to the word "tea". Although he did not fully understand the second half of his sister's words, he still made two comments.
[Comment] hr: You need to put up the shed in time, idiot.
[Comment] hr: Does Tea Star refer to green tea
Huo Sihan sent a message at the speed of light.
[Your father: ? Himself?]
[Your father: Do you finally understand the meaning of green tea?]
[Your father: I am not dreaming.jpg]
Huo Ran pondered for a moment, and a strange desire to win arose in his heart.
[hr: So my brother is so stupid in your eyes?]
[hr: I don’t want to either, but I didn’t have the opportunity to learn these things before. I will work hard to learn them in the future.]
[hr: Sihan, don’t dislike your brother. It will make your brother feel bad.]
[Your father: … ]
[Your father: Okay, stop it, I was wrong, I just had breakfast, forgive me.]
[hr:/cute]
After seeing Huo Ran's tea art, Huo Sihan immediately sent a screenshot.
[Your father: This is a star. You definitely don’t know him because he can do nothing but perform tea art. He rose to fame through all the way from the black market, so everyone mockingly calls him the Tea Star.]
Huo Ran clicked on it and saw that it was a screenshot of Xia Xingxi's Weibo. He was stunned. Then he looked at his sister's words "You definitely don't know her", and Huo Ran silently felt guilty.
More than knowing him, this tea-scented scarf seems to be talking about him...
Huo Ran never reads entertainment news, nor does he watch TV dramas or movies, and he knows almost nothing about domestic celebrities other than the top-tier ones.
Although Huo's group had a very famous entertainment company, Huo Ran had no intention of taking over this business, so he gave up exploring this unfamiliar field with a huge amount of information.
Therefore, on the day of the cocktail party a month ago, when Xia Xingxi, who was wearing a tuxedo like a proud peacock, bumped into him with a wine glass in hand, Huo Ran, whose chest was stained red, had no idea that this was a star. He thought it was just a clumsy waiter, so he gently said it was okay.
He lowered his head to wipe the red wine stains on his chest and didn't even notice the flash of light in Xia Xingxi's eyes. As a result, he was forced to start a nightmare that lasted for more than half a month.
Xia Xingxi actually knew him. In a small circle that tried to exchange their bodies for resources, photos of the lists of senior executives of several major entertainment companies and their parent companies were widely circulated. Huo Ran, the future heir of the Huo family, who had a good appearance and age and was said to have never even been in a relationship, was listed in the top tier - if one could become someone close to Huo Ran, it would be a "business" that made a lot of money without any investment.
Huo Ran didn't know about all these twists and turns, but after Dr. Tao's advice, he didn't think Xia Xingxi really liked him, so naturally he had no tolerance for him.
Huo Ran had originally forgotten about Xia Xingxi, but now he unexpectedly saw his green tea remarks that alluded to his identity. Huo Ran couldn't help but feel a little angry, and immediately blocked him on PP.
However, in front of his shrewd and perceptive sister, Huo Ran knew that too much talk would lead to mistakes, so he planned to fool her.
[hr: I don’t know him, but he speaks very well.]
[hr: cat giggles.jpg]
[Your dad: Who did you save these emoticons from?]
[Your father: I sent you so many, but you didn’t use any of them! ! ! ]
[hr: Oh, your emoticon is so ugly, not cute at all. ]
[hr: Mine is so cute.]
[hr: puppet bear dancing.gif]
Yesterday he visited Dr. Tao's island in the game and found that Dr. Tao had not been online for a long time. The island was deserted. Looking at the small hedgehog holding a hoe, Huo Ran immediately volunteered to help.
The two animals, one big and one small, worked hard until twelve o'clock and finally restored the island to its former vitality.
Huo Ran had only been playing this game for a short time and was immersed in the joy of single-player infrastructure construction. He even added only Huo Sihan as his friend.
This was the first time for him to build an island with others. The big brown bear was swinging an axe to chop trees, and his strength was almost running out. He was about to put down the axe to find something to eat, when the little hedgehog brought him some fruit to increase his strength.
It was a strange feeling, and Huo Ran suddenly understood why the group mode of this game attracted players.
So after Dr. Tao went offline and went to sleep, Huo Ran, who was still interested, dug out the Weibo post that made Animal Island popular a while ago. Huo Sihan had sent him the link when she was trying to get him into the game.
There are tens of thousands of comments under the Weibo post, and many of the top-rated comments are about things that happened to the users when they were playing Animal Island. Some are humorous, but more are full of warmth.
Huo Ran was fascinated by the story and followed the recommendations in the comments to visit the creative section of the Animal Island official forum, which contained various forms of derivative works, which were wonderful. Huo Ran stared at the screen intently and clicked on new web pages one after another.
When he came to his senses, he looked at the time in the upper right corner of the computer and it was already four o'clock in the morning.
Huo Ran, who seldom stayed up late, quickly turned off his computer and went to bed. In a daze, he was still thinking about the forum post that he had not finished reading.
The next day, he entered the company with dark circles under his eyes, calmly ignored the roses that were delivered on time, calmly accepted the enthusiastic care of his assistant Xiao Jiang, then followed behind Huo Zhendong and chatted and laughed with several uncles, humbly listening to the sighs of the young people.
After only three hours of sleep, Huo Ran felt like a warrior of life.
After the tour, Huo Zhendong took his old friend to continue his next trip, and Huo Ran finally relaxed.
Since we are here, we might as well hold a few more meetings.
After reading many gamer's feedback in one go in the middle of the night, Huo Ran realized how great the charm of the virtual game world is. He didn't know much about it before and thought playing games was just a pastime when he was bored.
But from Dr. Tao to many other players, they are fully immersed in the game, will establish many new interpersonal relationships, and will learn knowledge and skills that seem useless in reality. Some people have made friends, lovers, and even life partners because of it, while others have developed new interests and gained unexpected opportunities.
Those who are addicted to a certain game should not be simply classified as Internet addicts. Many times, they are looking for a second life in another world.
At a certain time, they will bid farewell to this virtual world for various reasons, but they will never forget the traces they left here, which may change their real lives.
If one-way flowing movies are the art of dreaming, then Huo Ran feels that games with interaction as the core should be the art of entering dreams.
