Sister Ling grabbed Xiao Zhu outside the small conference room, and gestured inside, "What's wrong? Why have you been in the studio for three consecutive days?"
Xiao Zhu said in a low voice, "It seems that I quarreled with Teacher Yu. Teacher Yu hasn't appeared for a few days."
"Isn't it fine a few days ago?" Sister Ling let go of Xiao Zhu and pushed open the door of the conference room.
Qiao Jingjing was leaning on the sofa in a daze, looking a little listless. Sister Ling planned to give her some good news to cheer her up.
"Jingjing, the contract from Director Li has been sent, and the conditions are not bad. In addition, as the news spreads, the salary of the newspaper who came to talk about the TV series has increased again."
Sister Ling reported a number with a happy expression.
Qiao Jingjing's expression did not change. Sister Ling waved her hand in front of her. Qiao Jingjing looked up at her and suddenly asked, "Am I worth that much?"
Sister Ling was taken aback.
Qiao Jingjing asked again: "It takes up to five months to shoot a TV series, is it worth it for me?"
"Why is it worthless? Your film is being scrambled by TV stations and video websites, and advertisers are rushing to place advertisements. The TV stations and video websites don't lose money, so why is it worthless? Wang Liu and Yue Xiaohua are almost there. "
"I'm not compared to them."
"Then who are you compared to?"
Qiao Jingjing didn't answer her, after a while, she lowered her eyes, "I think this is very hypocritical?"
"It's not hypocritical or hypocritical." Sister Ling sat down beside her, "To be honest, I've also thought about this issue. But the current market is like this. If you don't take it, others will take it. If you don't make this money, you shoot it. The filmmakers still sell that price, and the difference ends up in the pockets of the investors. So you think this is not a question of being hypocritical or not, it is meaningless.”
"Also, let me ask you, if someone wants to make a movie with you and give you tens of millions, will you say that I only need a few millions?"
Qiao Jingjing pursed her lips and said the truth: "No."
"So what do you think it means? This topic is too big. Let's do a good job of filming, we won't make any fuss, and we should be worthy of other people's money for their works, and we can do the charity work that we should do."
Sister Ling finished speaking in one breath, and asked tentatively, "Why do you suddenly think about this? What about Teacher Yu?"
Qiao Jingjing's eyelashes moved slightly, and she took the phone and started playing games without saying a word. Sister Ling's heart was vaguely clear, and she didn't say anything. After watching her play the game for a while, she got up and left.
Qiao Jingjing played two qualifying rounds, and after a while, she opened WeChat. The fingers pulled down inertialy and clicked on a name.
She had read those two sentences several times in the past few days.
"Sorry."
She saw it immediately that day, but she didn't want to go back to him at all.
The next one is already late at night.
"I'm going on a business trip for a while, and the return date is uncertain."
Xi'an.
Yu Tu took off his anti-static suit, took out his mobile phone from the safe, pressed it, and sure enough, it was out of power.
He put on his coat and walked out, shut up and walked in, "Lao Yu, wait for me."
Yu Tu waited for him to change his clothes, and the two walked to the guest house next to the measurement and control center together.
It was already very cold in November in the northwest, and it was still before six o'clock in the morning. There was darkness and silence between heaven and earth, and only the faint street lights illuminated the road under my feet.
When the wind blew, Guan Zai shrank his neck, and teased Yu Tu: "After going out for a month, the profession has not been abandoned."
"It's mainly the credit of other people's measurement and control center." Yu Tu was still circling the data in his mind, "The life of the satellite is still affected."
"The original design life was three years, but now it has expired. Besides, the cause of the failure is not in the overall design." Guan Zai yawned and shook his head vigorously, "This satellite is the first satellite you participated in the design of. It's a model, and it's our first time working together."
"Ok."
"Guess how I felt when I saw you for the first time?"
"Be jealous." Yu Tu smiled, "It's quite obvious."
"Bah." Guan Zai laughed and scolded, "At first, I thought, yoha came to the front, and it didn't take long for you to give me an overall optimization plan, I thought it was good, this talent is good and good. Match."
Yu Tu was helpless, "Pay attention to your words, don't embarrass our engineering students."
Guan Zai smiled and said nonchalantly, "Let's talk about money?"
Yu Tu slowed down, "Teacher told you?"
"Mr. Zhang called me and asked me to take a side-by-side attack. Do you have any difficulties?" Guan Zai suddenly remembered something, "Is it related to your family?"
He suddenly realized: "I remember, one day you answered the phone at home and spoke in dialect, and the next day something was wrong."
Yu Tu was silent for a moment.
"It's fine at home," he replied, "I'm just confused."
"It's fine." Guan Zai nodded and didn't ask further, "I'm a little curious, is it really so profitable to be an investment bank? Is it true that you just graduated with a million?"
"Look at the people and see the years." Yu Tu said, "Some people could get it before the financial crisis in 2008. The year I graduated, I just recovered from the financial crisis, and it was not bad."
"If I go to Google, it's a high salary, and it's not bad, but as a foreigner, I'll probably never have access to core technologies, and once I get results, it's not theirs, so I don't have a human perspective."
He took out a cigarette and handed it to Yu Tu.
"Do you know why I never kept you? Because I never thought you would leave. I always felt that you were the same person as me. In my wife's words, four words are out of place. Now this model is us together. Design, argue together, and propose a plan together. I think you are reluctant to bear it, and I even bet with people that if you leave, I will change my name to be locked in a pigsty. "
Yu Tu lowered his head and looked intently at the cigarette in his hand, "Then it's not a family reunion? They're all brothers and sisters."
"Go away, then I'm your brother too."
Guan Zai took a breath, "I have a question, Mr. Yu, no one can tell about the satellite failure. We solved it in five days this time, but it also takes a few months. If it is really a few months, the investment bank will Can I wait for you? Or do you just throw your hand away?"
Yu Tu stopped, "Lighter, borrow a fire."
The weak fire flashed out, and the two did not continue the topic just now.
Guan Zai was always quick to smoke, and after walking for a few minutes, he ordered another one, and Yu Tu frowned, "You smoke less."
"Let me remind you, your sister-in-law will wake up in a while, and I will call her before going to bed." Guan Zai remembered, "By the way, speaking of your sister-in-law, she has a junior sister who I want to introduce to you."
Guan Zai's tone was a bit sour, "People just glanced at the photo of me and you, and asked if I had a girlfriend. Being handsome is taking advantage of me. It took a lot of effort for me to chase your sister-in-law back then."
"Cure your habitual jealousy early. Help me decline."
"Really? I've seen it once, and it's pretty."
"No."
No more mention of it. After a while, Yu Tu said by himself, "I recently met someone..."
He paused.
Guan Zai was shocked, "Girl?"
"Well, quite clever, a little skinny... and very obedient."
"Okay." Guan Zai was intrigued, "I just met you on vacation?"
"No, my high school classmate."
"Classmate from high school? Why are you talking about it now?"
Yu Tu smiled: "Probably before, I didn't have good judgment."
He added: "Not talking."
"Why, people don't like you? Not really."
Yu Tu did not speak, but his eyes were bright.
I understand immediately. "You can do it, the sword is not old."
While talking, the two had already arrived at the door of the guest house, and they didn't go in outside before they finished smoking.
Guan Zai couldn't hold back his drowsiness, so he took a few breaths and leaned against the pillar to close his eyes and rest.
Yu Tu stood on the steps on one side.
It's quiet all around.
Gradually, a shimmer of light appeared in the distant sky, but the stars above the head had not disappeared, and the stars were still shining. The universe is vast, with hundreds of millions of stars, and there is one that he and his colleagues have just rescued with all their hard work.
He remembered the question, if this mission took a month or even a few months, would he leave
He didn't answer, and Guan Zai didn't ask questions, because they knew very well that he wouldn't.
When the blood is hot, how can it be possible to withdraw and leave
He couldn't help but ask himself again, did he really want to give up
He hadn't thought about this issue for a while, he thought he was firm, but after these five days and five nights, there was even a little shake.
Maybe he should think again.
There should be a way.
The last trace of smoke dissipated in front of him, and a pair of eyes as bright as stars flashed inexplicably in Yu Tu's mind. The owner of those eyes was probably sleeping soundly and carefree in a sweet dream.
In an instant, there was a hint of softness in his heart, dispelling the chill on his body, his eyebrows stretched a little, and he turned back to remind Guan Yu: "You can call sister-in-law now."
Guan Zai didn't answer, he closed his eyes and leaned against the pillar motionless. Yu Tu's heart jumped suddenly, he walked over, and tentatively shouted, "Shut in?"
The thin man leaning on the pillar's eyes seemed to move, but he couldn't open them. The next moment, the whole person fell to the ground like a collapse.
The temperature in Shanghai has dropped abruptly in the past few days.
Qiao Jingjing woke up early in the morning and found that the version of the game had been updated again. After reading the update instructions, a new hero had appeared, and the equipment attributes had also been adjusted. Versions have changed frequently these days, she frowned, called Sister Ling, and asked her to confirm with kpl which version would be used in the competition.
After washing up, Sister Ling's phone came back.
"Just use the version just updated today, so new heroes may also appear."
"Well, I'll try the new hero later, and the equipment will also need to be adjusted."
Sister Ling listened with some emotion, "A little more than a month ago, you were a novice, but now you are really good at it. A Guo said that he had two matches with you yesterday, and you played quite well. Are you sure about the match?"
"Athletes can't tell."
In fact, if you play a lot of qualifying, you will understand that sometimes, no matter how good your skills are, you may lose in a row, and if you are not good, you may lie down and win. A month ago, she had vowed to win the competition, but now she understands that competition is uncontrollable, and there is no guarantee of winning. Professional players will lose, and of course she will lose, as long as she shows her best self.
While eating breakfast, Qiao Jingjing flipped through the calendar.
It's already December 1st.
Yu Tu disappeared for ten days.
However, in fact, up to now, she doesn't need Yu Tu very much.
Still watching the video of the competition, listening to the commentary and analyzing the tactical system, and still in solo queue, but one less person to watch her play and help her analyze after the battle.
She remembered that Yu Tu told her at that time, let her beat the strongest king alone. It's only one step away now.
After breakfast, she read the script for a while and made some notes. Then I turned on my phone, and was about to enter the single-player ranking when an invitation box popped up.
Jade Rabbit Pounding Medicine (from a friend)
Supreme Star 5
Invite you to team up to rank 5v5 Kings Canyon.
Qiao Jingjing's hand stopped, she fixedly looked at the invitation frame, and did not respond for a long time.
A minute later, the invitation frame disappeared automatically, and soon a new invitation popped up again, and it was still Yutu Daoyao who invited her to rank.
This time, Qiao Jingjing clicked in.
The two were in a team room, but neither of them spoke.
After a while, Yu Tu point started.
They played all morning, and every time they finished, Yu Tu sent a new invitation.
She never spoke, and neither did he.
She played Baili to keep the appointment, and he played assistant. She takes the assistant, he takes the shooter. She won the mid lane, and he played in the wild, and from time to time came to the mid lane to help her catch people. In one game, she took Nake Lulu, who was playing badly, in a fit of anger, and he took Guan Yu and followed her all the way to gank.
Five in a row, six in a row, seven in a row...
During the ten-game winning streak, Qiao Jingjing put down her phone and suddenly felt a little suffocated. Didn't you say not to double row with her? What is it now
The doorbell rang.
Qiao Jingjing walked over to open the door a little irritably.
"Jingjingjingjing." As soon as the door opened, Xiao Zhu panted, "Why is Teacher Yu downstairs, can you lock him downstairs and not allow him to come up? I didn't dare to say hello after thinking about it."
Qiao Jingjing was stunned.
A few seconds later, she grabbed her phone and ran down, without a hat, a mask, or even a pair of slippers.
In the elevator, a ranking invitation popped up on the screen of her mobile phone. Qiao Jingjing didn't know what her emotions were, but she felt that the elevator was slower than ever.
She ran out of the elevator, out of the lobby, and stopped.
Outside the lobby, on a bench under the sycamore tree, there was a man sitting there, looking down at his phone very seriously.
As if aware of her arrival, the man looked up at her with tired and gentle eyes, and asked her, "Are you still angry?"
