There are no stories to tell about the boring senior year in high school. The balance of 2013 will soon be used up. After donating 2 million yuan to the First Affiliated High School of Jiangcheng Normal University, Mei Youyuan has gained some privileges as a public figure. Now he can take unlimited leave or leave early so that he can be busy with his own things.
Although such privileged behavior would make some students feel uncomfortable, Mei Fang was a low-key person who would not show off in front of others. In addition, he did improve the living conditions of the students, so the students only admired and respected him and did not cause more trouble out of jealousy.
After Mei Fang and Lin Youxi got together, Xia Yuan officially released her second album "Announcement in the Mist", which included most of the works from Xu Hao's previous album of the same name and some of Xu Liang's works. The overall tone is dominated by sad love songs.
If such an album was released without the interview as a prelude, Mei Fang's image would inevitably be criticized; but after all, Xia Yuan also publicly blessed Mei Fang and Lin Youxi in the new release video, which dispelled many people's doubts.
On the Sago Game side, Coconut Juice Studio's debut work "Happy Match 3" has officially completed the development of version 1.0.0 under the guidance of Mei Fang. Mei Fang did not insist on making this mobile game carry the Sago Game logo, but instead rushed to Penguin's Yingyongbao channel matrix and became one of Penguin's released works, as a way to show his strength to the sponsor.
For Mei Fang, the positioning of Coconut Juice Studio is very clear - it is the blood-making department of Sago Games. The primary goal of this studio is to strive to develop works with a wider audience without violating industry ethics.
As for the new plans for the independent game platform and Ximilu Studio, Mei Fang plans to consider it after assisting the boys and girls in the club to complete the research and development of "Kingdom: Three Kingdoms". After all, this card game also needs Guo Yun's continued help.
The next game will be an independent game that can express art, or a larger-scale production. This is a question that Mei Fang needs to consider carefully.
The live broadcast module of Station C will undergo its first test at the beginning of the second year. At the same time, a special topic being researched and developed is also a 3D virtual idol project, but the first work may not be released until next summer.
In short, the second half of 2013 was busier than ever. While working on various projects, Mei Fang received many admission offers from universities. She expressed her desired treatment to several universities. After some bargaining, only two schools were left that met her needs.
Shuangdan University located on the eastern coast and Pengcheng University located in the southern city of Pengcheng.
"In terms of the overall ranking of the school itself, Shuangdan University is undoubtedly a better choice, with better teaching conditions and a wider network of students."
Mei Fang went on to explain, "Shanghai itself is an economic capital with great development prospects. The two-dimensional culture and the gaming industry will flourish here."
"But you also included Pengcheng University in the list of choices. Is it because it has something more attractive? Or is there something wrong with the Double Holidays?"
"Shuangdan University does not have a music department and cannot provide Yuanyuan with the corresponding opportunity for further study."
Mei Fang pondered, "Although they mentioned that they could help us contact the Shanghai Conservatory of Music, our university locations would not be together, and it would be quite remote. In addition, Shuangdan would not be able to provide the privileges I want."
"That's not good..."
Xia Yuan thought for a moment, "However, if we just compare cities, I personally prefer Shanghai. Compared to Pengcheng, it feels more like a metropolis. Pengcheng has many urban villages, which makes it seem less urban."
"But I heard that people in Shanghai are quite xenophobic. Pengcheng is full of outsiders, so there won't be that kind of alienation."
"Yes, after all, once you come here, you are a Pengcheng person."
Mei Fang said to Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi with a smile. The two of them would never understand how much sadness Mei Fang's words revealed about her working in Pengcheng in her previous life.
Pengcheng University is similar to another school that Mei Fang knew in his previous life, but it is developing more rapidly. This university is located in the birthplace of Pengcheng penguins. Although it is a new university and is not very famous, its scores are close to the mid-range 985 universities, and it dominates Pengcheng.
In addition, its financial budget reached an astonishing first place in the country last year. It can be said to be the university with the least shortage of money in the country. It is also one of the most discussed universities by Internet upstarts. Its computer major is also ranked among the top in the country. It has produced many outstanding computer technology talents. This is also an important reason why Mei Fang set his sights on Pengcheng University.
"Although Pengcheng University is not as famous as Shuangdan University, it is not a school that can be easily admitted. First of all, it is the alma mater of Pony Ma and has a deep-rooted connection with penguins. The school's funding budget is also quite generous."
"Secondly, Pengcheng University itself has game design-related majors. Compared with Shuangdan University, I can better collect game and Internet development talents from it."
Mei Fang paused, and then continued, "For Yuanyuan, this school has a music department, and it is ranked relatively high."
Mei Fang explained, "Of course, the most important thing is that the director of the admissions office of Pengcheng mentioned to me that as long as the three of us can pass the first-tier score line for admission, they will try their best to provide various conveniences for our activities in school, including no credit and GPA requirements, support for company-related incubation, funding, and various teacher guidance work."
Mei Fang curled his lips, "Although these conditions are better than nothing, they are still sincere enough. If I were a poor guy, I would agree on the spot."
"Ah, so there is still an exam?"
Xia Yuan looked distressed when he heard this, "I thought I didn't have to work hard in the third year of high school..."
"It's not that easy. Although we are well-known public figures, we still have to comply with the school's admissions office regulations if we want to enter our favorite university, otherwise it will have a bad impact. For example, Shuangdan University also requires independent enrollment exams and previous NOIP scores to lower the requirements to the first-tier line. As for Yuanyuan, we won't even consider you for admission."
Xia Yuan scratched his head, looked at Mei Fang and said, "So, Ah Fang, where do you think is more suitable?"
"I would also like to ask for your opinion. After all, if the university's location is decided, our C station's headquarters will also have to be moved to a more developed area. A large county town like Jiangcheng will definitely not be able to develop."
“Although this may sound a bit heartbreaking… it seems to be true.”
Xia Yuan thought for a moment, "As far as cities are concerned, I like Shanghai, but it would be a pity if we couldn't go to college together... After all, our primary purpose of going to college doesn't seem to be to learn more knowledge in college."
"I think what Yuanyuan said makes sense... We continue to go to university mainly to accumulate and develop connections. The overall ranking of the school is not that important. In addition, the experience of school life is also crucial."
Lin Youxi said in a gentle voice, "Although I have never been to either Pengcheng or Shanghai, Pengcheng is a new city after all. I think our development in Pengcheng will be better than in Shanghai. Of course, in the end it all depends on your choice, Ah Fang. I will support you."
"Me too, I fully support Ah Fang!"
Pengcheng or Shanghai
Mei Fang is actually also very troubled by this issue.
Based on past experience, Shanghai's gaming industry is obviously more developed, and two-dimensional culture is extremely popular. Pengcheng obviously does not have such conditions, and the cultural development here is not even as good as that of Huadu next door.
Moreover, setting the headquarters in Pengcheng is actually equivalent to surrendering to the penguin.
Although Mei Fang is good at hugging thighs, he is completely tied to Penguin, which is not what Mei Fang wants...
But Mei Fang himself has a little obsession with Pengcheng. Although he can't say that he has much affection for this city, it is after all the place where he has devoted many years of hard work and left many precious memories here. If he can't rise again here, Mei Fang will be a little bit upset.
Seeing Mei Fang's doubts, Lin Youxi said, "If you are really struggling between the college experience and future development, wouldn't it be better to focus on the next four years? Anyway, transportation is so convenient now, so it's not impossible to travel back and forth?"
"That's true... Anyway, I still have three companies to set up."
Mei Fang thought about it and said, "I think we should not let Yuanyuan go to college alone. It will be troublesome for us to meet each other on a regular basis. After all, the purpose of going to college is to experience life."
"So we're going to Pengcheng?"
Xia Yuan put her arms around Mei Fang's neck and sat on him. "Is it settled?"
"It's settled, let's go to Pengcheng."
"Okay!" Xia Yuan immediately stood up and said, "Then I'll go look at houses in Pengcheng first! Let's buy a big house next to the school and live together!"
“Remember to buy a large flat with a panoramic view.”
Lin Youxi smiled and said, "Then, we'll go to the beach and buy a villa."
"Yeah, I forgot about that! Fang, let's take a look at it together!"
ah…
Buy a house in Pengcheng.
Something that I never dared to imagine in my previous life happened.
In fact, from my personal understanding of the industry, it is more reasonable to be deployed in Shanghai, but I failed to find a job in Shanghai and was abandoned by Shanghai. I am not familiar with Shanghai, so I can only write stories about Shenzhen. Pengcheng University is a fictional university. This world is set as a 985 university. The prototype is Shenzhen University, which has been modified and improved.
