Clicking on the post, I found that the players in this game are really fierce, and they have turned the anchor circle into a fan circle, showing a complete gossip story with pictures and texts.

In the photo, Liang Xiaoxie and a tall, thin girl with short hair are holding hands at the front desk of the hotel to register. The content described in the text is that Liang Xiaoxie's original goal was to be a pure competitive anchor of the moba game national league. He didn't want to work in Lei Chi, and he didn't have any feelings for Taohua Wanjie. In the first half of the year, he was favored by the owner of another heavyweight sports club, who invited him to compete with full sincerity, and he said that he would consider it. But the result of consideration is that dreams are not as good as money. In order to earn money from the boss of Taohua Wanjie, he gave up this opportunity. In addition, he is usually good at licking dogs, so the boss happily gave him hundreds of thousands of yuan in gifts. Now that he has earned enough money, he intends to change jobs, so he starts to offend his boss in a fancy way, and even quarrels with the big boss Wu Ge in the live broadcast room. In the end, Wu Ge personally came to apologize. This time he was on a business trip to meet his fans, and he directly asked them to meet at the hotel. After the business trip, he did not return to Suzhou, but stayed with the fans in the hotel for a week before leaving Beijing.

This incident caused a lot of trouble, and Lei Chi had already ordered him to stop the broadcast, and was going to do a big rectification of the atmosphere in the anchor circle.

I sent a message to Brother Wu and asked her what was going on. Didn’t Liang Xiaoxie say that he wanted to meet her? How did he end up staying in a hotel with other fans for a week.

"That fan is me..." Brother Wu sent a bunch of tearful emojis on WeChat, "I, I, I, I... I couldn't control myself, and I fucked Xiaoxie."

"..."

"What should I do now? Originally, Lei Chi didn't stipulate that the anchor and the boss could not fall in love, but because 818 caused too much trouble, the other party wanted to kill Xiaoxie. Now Xiaoxie may almost lose his job. It's me. Kill him, cry to death!"

"..."

"elegant?"

"One week?"

"... your focus."

"Xiaoxie can do it. Come on."

Aunt Yang works super fast. Her assistant called me and said that a blind date meeting had been arranged, and asked me to meet in the next afternoon.

The blind date partner is 27 years old, surnamed Chen, 1.83 meters tall, local, graduated from Germany with a master's degree. He works in a German private bank in Lujiazui, with a monthly salary of 53,000, plus the year-end bonus, which is exactly one million a year. Can cello, German and French, IELTS 7.5. Her hobbies are photography, fishing, and watching Japanese comics. She likes to be independent, to read, to be well-bred, and to be a girl who likes small animals.

Looking at the photo, it is a skinny boy, wearing glasses, squatting next to a husky, looking a little shy.

Xueba money, very good.

Aunt Yang's assistant told me that this boy is very good in everything, and part of the reason why he is not married yet is because he has a picky mother. The girl his mother likes doesn't like him, and the girl his mother likes doesn't like him, so he picks and chooses and asks him to go on a blind date. His mother has the highest status in his family, so he will also supervise this blind date.

"Boss Yang and I have checked for you. Except that his mother is difficult to deal with, everything about this boy is very good. You must be fine, don't be nervous. Come on, Pianpian."

I didn't feel too nervous when I received the encouragement from my assistant.

They always say that Lei Chi games are like casinos. Before entering, they are full of confidence. When they are inside, they ride a roller coaster of emotions.

In fact, it was the same when he was with Du Hanchuan.

After deciding to graduate from him, it seems that the rhythm of the whole world has slowed down, no longer entangled with pain, and can arrange life rationally, but at the same time, I have lost my sense of happiness and goals. This kind of thing that should be nervous also makes me feel that I can do whatever I want.

Under the arrangement of Aunt Yang's assistant, we met in the afternoon tea restaurant in the lobby of a luxurious five-star hotel.

Considering that it was a blind date, I wore a ladylike off-white dress, combed her princess hair, wore pearl earrings, changed the nude makeup with a sense of transparency, applied red bean paste lipstick, matched it with five-centimeter thick-heeled retro shoes, and white rattan Checked matte leather flap top handle bag with detachable shoulder strap.

The appearance of this outfit should pass the test. Because I just entered the hotel lobby and was still looking for an afternoon tea restaurant, a business man who was staying asked me for my contact information, with a very respectful attitude. After I declined, I found the target restaurant and saw the backs of a mother and son who seemed to be on a blind date. I quickened my pace and walked across to them and said: "Mr. Chen, Auntie, hello, I'm Hao Pianpian."

Mr. Chen looks no different from the photo, and he also looks very much like his mother, but his mother has sharper eyes than him, and there is an obvious mole on the right corner of her mouth, giving her a shrewd look.

Mother Chen asked the waiter to hand me the menu, took out a large stack of documents and certificates from her bag and put them on the table, and said slowly: "Miss Hao, you also know something about my son from the matchmaker." Yes. Now my son and I have a house in Huangpu District, and his father has prepared a wedding house for his son in the same community. He is now renting a single apartment in Pudong, and he can move back to Puxi at any time after getting married. These It’s my son’s degree certificate, real estate certificate and cello certificate from Germany, and this is his business card…”

"Mom, don't start..." Mr. Chen was a little annoyed, but in the middle of speaking, he lowered his head weakly, shook his head, and stopped continuing.

At this time, my mobile phone started to vibrate and the ringtone rang. I opened the bag and saw the caller's name on the screen: Du Hanchuan. I turned the phone to silent, put it back, smiled and said to the mother and son in front of me, "Sorry, I'm calling from work. Auntie, please continue."

"Oh, I just remembered when it came to work, Miss Hao, I heard that you are still studying now? Well, you are still studying... May I ask, do you plan to keep painting in the future?"

I nodded: "Yeah, that's the current plan."

"Actually, Ms. Hao, I think you have a good temperament and conversation. You can tell at a glance that your parents are people of status and knowledge. You gave me a good first impression. Look at my son's reaction..." She pushed Mr. Chen, saw Mr. Chen glance at me and then looked down at the plate on the table, and smiled, "My son should have a good impression of you. We have also heard about your family. Debt, this is not a problem. But my aunt thinks so. If this incident does not happen in your family, I think it is okay for you to do some art and keep your fingers clean. But if this happened, shouldn’t you be more mature? , find a stable, normal job?"

Alas, another person who mistakenly thinks that painters are idlers.

In fact, our line of work is much harder than ordinary work, because in a sense, freelancing is a job without freedom.

The phone kept vibrating, and I was a little annoyed, and I didn't want to explain so much, so I just asked politely: "What is a stable and normal job? Are you going to work?"

"Yes, civil servants and foreign-funded white-collar workers are pretty good. Painting is not a particularly stable career. As a parent of a child, I still hope that my son will marry a wife with a stable job. Ms. Hao, would you consider going to work after graduation? Painting as a side job?"

This is a bit ironic. I have been working hard for painting for more than ten years, in order to get my father's approval. I didn't expect that my father would have to face disapproval from his in-law's family in the future after passing this test. But now I really don’t have the hard capital, so I can only say with a kind attitude: "Well, it’s such an aunt, painting is actually a very tiring job. When I enter the normal work cycle, I will be much busier than ordinary office workers. , Sometimes I can’t even sleep well. If it’s a side job, I’m unlikely to do it wholeheartedly. I still plan to paint full-time, but my income is not low, and the sales of my albums are all in the industry. The top three…”

Halfway through, the phone finally stopped vibrating. Mother Chen interrupted me and said, "You can't guarantee a monthly income."

"Well, yes." I nodded, "The income is not very stable, so I have the ability to focus on cultivating financial management. It shouldn't be a big problem to manage a family well."

"Without income, it's useless to just know how to manage money, and you can't guarantee that you will be able to sell in the top three in the industry for a lifetime..."

Mr. Chen became anxious, raised his head and said, "Oh, mom, don't talk about it. This is something people like to do, why do you care so much..."

Chen's mother turned her head and looked at him silently for a few seconds. Seeing that he was afraid to speak, she said with great force: "I'm not doing it for your own good, so that you and your future wife will live a stable life and suffer less. It's not your business, who cares so much!" She angered her son, the atmosphere was not good, she shook her head and said, "Forget it, my son is just stupid. Ms. Hao, let's not talk about this issue, let's talk about you Family matters."

My phone vibrated again. I held down the phone and nodded for her to continue talking.

"Miss Hao, you also know that our family is an ordinary well-off family, not like yours. With such a big stall, there is also such a large debt. If you and my son have the opportunity to become a family in the future, the debt problem will of course be the same. Carry. But no one can tell about the young couple, you say no. When you are in a good relationship, you can share weal and woe. If one day you suddenly fail, you will break up if you say goodbye-of course Auntie doesn’t want you to break up. But the problem is, if you really break up, if my son still has tens of millions of debts, he may have to... Miss Hao understand what I mean?"

"I understand, I understand very well. This is indeed a problem in our family, and I don't want my other half to be dragged down because of me."

"Sure enough, it's the daughter of a big shot. It's different from those small households out there who are greedy for cheap. Since you are so sensible, let's put the ugly words first." Chen's mother took out a piece of paper from a pile of documents. It said "notarization of pre-marital property and debts" and handed it to me, "Look at this, if you can accept this notarization before marriage, I, as a mother, can rest assured that you two will date."

In fact, from a legal point of view, my lawsuit will only affect my part of the family income after marriage, and will not affect the income and property of the other half, let alone after divorce. But she took this out, and it was inconvenient for me to explain too much, so I glanced at it casually and said, "Auntie, there is no problem. I didn't want my other half to pay the debt for me. My parents and I will work hard to figure it out." Find a way to solve these problems, so as not to cause trouble for the in-law's family in the future... Sorry, I'll go to the bathroom."

The phone kept vibrating the whole time, disrupting my flow of conversation. I trotted all the way to the bathroom and got through to Du Hanchuan's phone: "What are you doing, don't you know I'm busy?"

"What are you busy with? You don't answer the phone when it blows up." Du Hanchuan said aggrievedly, "You don't want me yet?"

"On a blind date."

"... what?" His voice suddenly dropped.

"I'm on a blind date."

"What, a blind date? You're actually on a blind date behind my back?!"

"Why are you so excited?"

"The girl I like goes on a blind date behind my back, can I not be excited? Where are you going on a blind date?"

After I told him the name of the hotel, he said coldly, "Go home immediately."

"Who has a blind date behind your back? Is this a blind date openly, okay? I won't tell you now, I'm just getting annoyed."

"Why are you bothered?"

"The blind date didn't go very well. The man's mother said that my career income was unstable, which made me a little uncomfortable." Looking at my bitter face in the mirror, which was very different from when I went out, I sighed, "I didn't I have a fixed salary, but the sales of my picture books are very high, and the royalties are very high. What age is it, and I still play professional discrimination, it’s too much."

"They're dissatisfied with your job, then what? Don't want to continue?"

"No, just ask me to find a stable job after graduation and take painting as a side job."

"As a side job, what's the difference between going to the gallery on weekends to cultivate your sentiments and working overtime to comfort yourself, a Starbucks girl who has a petty bourgeois sentiment?"

"How did you manage to talk so much in one breath?"

He ignored me and continued: "Do you think this is enough? Not enough. Are you such an ordinary person?"

"Brother, painters also have to eat. Before Zheng Feiyang always said that we are all ordinary people, but I was always unrealistic. What they said is not unreasonable. I just think that I don't have to do this if I have such achievements. Deny it completely. Don’t they all say that they are the best in their careers? Why do everyone think that writers have high social status and should be recognized, while painters are unstable and crazy?”

"A writer is a lunatic. Even if he writes a short story of 5,000 words, he has to divide it into many individuals and talk to himself all the time. Think about how terrible it is to live with a writer. No, Van Gogh was the man who cut off his own ears. Your paintings are also terrible. Others like you can't surrender, so you should leave it to me."

"You still make me laugh. What's the benefit of laughing at me to death? Will you inherit my negative fifty million inheritance?"

After that, he asked me about other progress of the blind date, and I mentioned the prenuptial agreement to him. After he finished speaking, he was silent for a long time, and then suddenly exploded: "I can't believe it, how can you bear it! She asked you to sign this agreement, didn't she mean to say: 'Our son can marry you, as long as he becomes a family People, if your family still has background connections, we are entitled to enjoy them, but even if you try your best to have children in the future, you will have to bear the debt yourself, because my mother-in-law has never regarded you as her own family before marriage. Who told you to Be a phoenix in trouble.' That's bullying."

"The thing is, I really don't have any obligation to put him in my debt."

"Why is there no obligation? Why do your debts before marriage belong to you alone, and they should enjoy your income after marriage with peace of mind? Pianpian, it is impossible for a woman to be affected by having children. If you marry this man, You spent your youth and gave birth to a child. If he is unhappy with you and divorces you in the end, all your efforts will be in vain. As for this man, he married a girl he was not worthy of and didn't have to bear the debt. It's a good idea Since it is said that marriage is a family, and you are so cold-blooded towards your family, it is no wonder that you need to go on a blind date even if your conditions are not bad."

"You are right, but this is the real world, not a TV show. No one will share the pre-marital debt with me. Everyone is thinking of themselves."

"me."

He answered so quickly that I paused for a moment: "Fifty million is not a small number for you, so stop messing around."

"I know. I am willing to be responsible for everything about you."

"Stop saying these sweet words. You are only suitable for love, not marriage."

"It's as if you and I were married. Pianpian, your career and your debts are incomprehensible to ordinary people." Du Hanchuan said solemnly, as if he was attacking criminals, "You can't marry this kind of thieves , you will lose yourself if you marry."

"Yes, yes, you are right. I'm going out to deal with it, so I'll hang up first."

I lingered in the bathroom for a while, walked out weakly, and returned to the afternoon tea restaurant. As soon as I approached the mother and son of the Chen family, I heard the mother Chen whispering to her son: "Because of the Ayanga Er incident, I have always It’s been a long time since I’ve been here, so I’ve lowered my guts? How can the real lady choose a blind date? Come on, if you want to be cool, you’ve got a long forehead, and Ai is cool, just remember to write a prenuptial agreement it is good… "

"Got it, got it, Mama, it's easy to just say a few words." Mr. Chen said impatiently.

Listening to her nagging for a long time, and then thinking of what Du Hanchuan said, the fire in my heart rose up, I stood still, and I had the urge to turn around and leave.

"Ai Ningzi must have a heart, and Fang Ning must have a heart. If you add a high head, you will lose the big cake..." She turned her head halfway to see me, her eyes widened in fright, and pushed Pushed his son.

I calmly went back and sat down opposite them: "Auntie, are you hungry? Would you like some more food?"

The muscles above the apple of Chen's mother were slightly wrinkled, and she looked extremely embarrassed: "Hao Xiaojia, father Si Sang Haining is facing each other, and Auntie is fighting Dong Fa with Nong Gang Sang Hai Ei Wu?"

I frowned and pretended to be doing an English listening test: "Auntie, are you asking me if I can speak Shanghainese?" Seeing her nodding, I shook my head and said, "Oh, because my mother is not from Shanghai, we Everyone at home speaks Mandarin, and my Shanghainese is not very good."

She seemed to be relieved, and her attitude became very good again, and she started to gossip with me about family affairs, talking about various honorary events of his son from childhood to adulthood.

Forty minutes passed, and I was a little tired from listening to her bragging about her son. Suddenly, three guests came to the table next to us. They were all young men in custom-made casual suits. One of them put a large bouquet of bright red roses on the table, and inserted a card with elegant handwritten English words in the middle. The dew rolled on the fresh and tender petals like diamonds, making Chen Mom couldn't help but turned around and looked a few more times.

While looking at the bouquet of flowers, Mother Chen said to me: "My son can't do anything, but he is very smart, and he is very popular with girls. After he graduated from university, there was a long queue of girls who liked him. , we can't even refuse Yigang who came over..."

At this time, a waiter wearing a vest, a shirt, and white gloves walked to the next table, picked up the bouquet of flowers, and went straight to our table: "Miss Hao, this is for you from Mr. Du."

Mother Chen looked at the waiter, at the flowers, at the table of young men, and then at me: "Who? Why are you on a blind date and a boy gave you flowers. How old is this Mr. Du? What does he do? "

Compared to her anxiety, the waiter's calm and polite smile looked cold: "These flowers are for Miss Hao. Please take it away from Miss Hao."

I took the flowers and was thinking about how to explain the bouquet of flowers. Mother Chen forced her to ask again: "Miss Hao, how old is this Mr. Du? What does he do? Let me say yes first, it doesn't matter if you have been in love, But if we want to live with some very old men or men with families, our family will not accept such daughter-in-laws."

"Madam, don't worry, the one who gave her flowers is the same age as your son, an ordinary suitor." Among the three men opposite, a man with his back turned the car key with his index finger stood up and smiled at Chen's mother, "Mr. Du Hanchuan is twenty-four years old. He is my best friend who went abroad to study together when I was young."

"Du Hanchuan?" Before Mother Chen could speak, Mr. Chen had already said, "Du Chi's son?"

"Who is that?" Mother Chen asked confusedly.

"Du Chi is the boss of Lei Chi." As if he guessed that his mother had never heard of Lei Chi, he quickly added, "Lei Chi is a big Internet company, Mom, it's the app I downloaded for you two days ago, Lei Chi Chi Bao is the financial management software developed by Lei Chi Bao. But their games are really good, and the role-playing games are all excellent in the industry. I always use Lei Chi Bao to recharge the game. Look at this.”

Then, he turned on the phone and continued to talk endlessly: "This game was developed by Du Hanchuan and his team. His understanding of the game is really advanced, and the game ecology he operates can be called the top in the country. The graphics they made are also amazing. Yes, HDR skybox, TXAA, these technologies are used very skillfully.”

"So... this young man is very powerful." Mother Chen murmured.

"It's more than amazing, I'm a fan of Lei Chi games."

Mother Chen looked at me differently: "Miss Hao... Is this son chasing you?"

"No, no, he and I are just high school alumni."

"Miss Hao, why should you be modest. This bouquet of flowers was given to you by my old iron. There is also this." The man with the back came over and handed me a necklace box.

Mother Chen can't understand software, but she can understand flowers and jewelry: "Then... kid, what do you do?"

"I am the lobby manager and shareholder of this hotel."

"The lobby manager is a shareholder?"

The man with the back of his back smiled calmly: "The shares given by my father."

Chen's mother suddenly realized: "Then... Then does your friend really like Miss Hao? With his conditions, it should be easy to find an excellent girl."

"Of course it is serious, so your son has a strong rival."

"What does he like about Miss Hao? Pretty?"

The man with the back raised his eyebrows: "No, there are too many beautiful girls around me. He likes Ms. Hao because Ms. Hao is a talented painter with elves in her works. He is Ms. Hao's number one fan. Talent, thinking that he can marry a painter as his wife, he feels that other girls have become vulgar fans, and they are not interested at all. These are almost his exact words."

I don't know if it's because these words are too gentle, when he repeated these words, I seemed to see the tenderness in Du Hanchuan's eyes.

He smiled: "Of course, he also said that if he has no money in the future and marries such a wife, he doesn't need to pay any cost. As long as he makes her happy and asks her to paint a picture, he will have money immediately. gone."

After finishing speaking, the people beside him, including Mr. Chen, all laughed. The man with the back looked outside the hotel, and then turned around and smiled like a big Hollywood star: "Auntie, Miss Hao is tired today, we will arrange a car to take her back first. However, you and your son can order some more food as you like, I can sit as long as I want, and I will pay for it.”

Chen's mother thanked him gratefully, and said to me cautiously: "This... Ms. Hao, why don't you see when we can meet and talk again? Next time you and my son will meet and talk alone?"

"Yeah, let's find the matchmaker to contact me. Then I'll go first."

I carried my bag and went out, not knowing whether to be happy or depressed, I just leaned against the glass and sent a voice message to Du Hanchuan: "You have made the blind date dirty, thank you."

Soon, what I said was repeated behind me.

Looking back, I almost fainted on the spot—Du Hanchuan was wearing a white shirt and black trousers, leaning against the car door, listening to my voice with a smile on his head, and then replied a voice message on WeChat: "Pianpian is mine, don't let me give others."

"Du Hanchuan, are you sick? Are you planning to stay in Shanghai forever during this business trip?"

"Well, lovesickness. I'm so sick that I can't take the plane." He opened the car door, "Come on, get in the car."

I walked over, looked up at him seriously and said, "Forget it this time, anyway, I met a mother and son I don't like very much. But I still want to have a good relationship. If you want to find me, send WeChat, don’t keep calling me to disturb me, you understand?”

"Don't disturb you." He looked down at me tenderly, smiled twice, his voice was extremely sweet, "It's impossible. Pianpian, don't struggle, we are just a match made in heaven."

"Really crazy..."

I shook my head, turned around and stopped a taxi casually, and got in quickly.

I looked back at him, he didn't try to chase me, but from the time I got in the car to the time the car drove away, his eyes were locked on me, and his smile looked very confident. The sun shone on him like a special effect tailor-made for him.

Although I didn't give him a good look, my heart is full of gratitude to him.

He's right, I can't be with people who don't appreciate me.

The blind date process just now made me feel worthless several times, reminding me of the repeated self-doubt and self-denial this year.

Even compliments from other people often strike me as comforting or rewarding. Only Du Hanchuan, who believes in me so unswervingly, is a ray of sunshine shining into the bottom of my heart.

Since high school, he has been the sunshine in my life.

Being liked by such an excellent man, I found myself and believed that I was also excellent.

I sent him a WeChat message: "Du Hanchuan, thank you, you may not be my lover, but you must be my noble person. No matter what happens in the future, I will always remember your encouragement and help during my low period. Really Yes, thank you very much."

He replied in seconds: "Don't tell me such high-sounding nonsense, it's useless at all. I'm not interested in being a noble person, I just want to be a beloved one."

After resting at home until the weekend, this year's help war finals finally arrived. I went online to look at the leaderboard, and almost choked my breath—except for Ruoru, who I met at the beginning, almost all the other gang members in the entire leaderboard went to the Red Clothes School.
