Chapter 26 Chapter 26 Mr. Si actually drinks hot chocolate! ...
Because of his recent busy schedule, Si Yizhi once again turned into an overtime maniac that shocked all the employees in the company.
The first thing Shao Jiayan, the master of slacking off, did when he got to work was to make a cup of hot cocoa with milk as coffee, pour it into a coffee cup and give it to Mr. Si. This was a tacit understanding they developed during the Spring Festival holiday.
However, after entering the president's office, Shao Jiayan discovered that President Si was already discussing business-related matters in the office with technical director Zhao Bingtian, who was dressed in tattered clothes, had red eyes, and had been up all night for several nights.
If it weren't for the fact that Mr. Si's tie had changed from yesterday's silver-gray to blue-gray, Shao Jiayan would have even suspected that this guy had also spent the night at the company last night.
"Mr. Si, your coffee." Shao Jiayan put the coffee cup on the desk in a pretentious manner and prepared to leave.
Ever since returning home with Si Yizhi, their relationship has changed from the initial stiff relationship between superiors and subordinates to an ambiguous period between colleagues and friends.
Especially after being carried like a princess by Mr. Si yesterday...
Yesterday it was so awkward that Shao Jiayan forgot to be shy.
But after he calmed down and thought back to his first experience of being carried like a princess, Shao Jiayan felt that some experiences are actually better not to have.
Director Zhao, who had been working overtime to the point of being a little distracted, was suddenly enlightened when he saw the cup of "coffee".
"Great, I have a solution, it's coffee!"
As one of the members of the initial founding team who started the business with Si Yizhi, Zhao Bingtian has a good relationship with Si Yizhi.
The social life of the technical 2D otaku is simple, and Zhao Bingtian is one of Si Yizhi's few good friends.
"Wait..." Si Yizhi was still looking at the data. When he came to his senses, Zhao Bingtian had already picked up his coffee cup very rudely.
Shao Jiayan, who hadn't had time to leave, was suddenly shocked and watched Director Zhao take a big gulp at lightning speed.
Then, within five seconds, he perfectly portrayed his sloppy face, from "happy", "confused", "shocked" to "sighing" expressions.
Shao Jiayan just felt that he was not feeling well again...
[What's going on! Why did Assistant Zhao drink what was in Mr. Si's cup? Ahhh! He discovered that the cup was not filled with coffee! ]
Even though Shao Jiayan was roaring madly in his heart, he still tried hard to maintain a professional smile on his face.
Zhao Bingtian held the coffee cup in one hand, glanced blankly at his president, and then glanced at the general assistant who was standing straight.
After a while, he said awkwardly, "I should be under the car, not in the car... If there is anything, let's contact each other on DingTalk."
Then he carefully put the cup of "coffee" back to its original place, grabbed his documents and rushed out, leaving Si Yizhi and Shao Jiayan staring at each other in the office.
Si Yizhi was silent for a long time before he coughed lightly. "When I started my business with Zhao Bingtian and his team, the conditions were difficult. When we first started the game studio, there were only two cups for more than a dozen of us. I often drank water from the same cup as them."
"Oh..." Shao Jiayan nodded obediently, "Then you go ahead and do your work. I'll be out now."
Si Yizhi nodded reservedly and pointed to his coffee cup, "Go make another cup."
When Assistant Niu Ma left with the cup in his hand, Si Yizhi looked at his back and listened to his inner thoughts: [Just use the cup, why do you need to explain it to me? ]
Yeah, why should he explain to Shao Jiayan?
For the first time, Si Yizhi felt confused.
Just now, after hearing Shao Jiayan's thoughts, he subconsciously explained Zhao Bingtian's behavior, but in the final analysis, he didn't actually need to do so.
After Shao Jiayan left the office and closed the door gently, Si Yizhi rubbed his brows.
In fact, it was quite the opposite. He should explain to Zhao Bingtian why he wanted a cup of hot milk chocolate so early in the morning.
Shaking his head helplessly, Si Yizhi sighed.
Well, given his current situation with Shao Jiayan's assistant, they could only be forced to get close to each other.
After sorting out his thoughts, Si Yizhi continued to focus on the work at hand.
Senior Bai Lu is very capable, and the handover of work between Si Yizhi and her went very smoothly, and she will be able to take charge of her own work soon.
Putting aside the emotional issues, Si Yizhi admired her very much. Except that she looked at him a little strangely today...
What Si Yizhi didn't know was that Bai Lu thought about it and wanted to remind her junior who was not a straight man not to be too straight to his lover. But later she met Zhao Bingtian who had just taken out the president's office in the elevator, and he told her his latest discovery in shock!
"I thought the aloof Mr. Si was a coffee-drinking industry elite like us! Who knew he was drinking hot chocolate so early in the morning!" Zhao Bingtian has known Si Yizhi for five years, from having nothing to being a big shot in the gaming industry. In his mind, Si Yizhi has always been like an AI, a stereotyped machine that never makes mistakes.
"When I discovered that the cup contained hot chocolate instead of coffee, I was as shocked as when my male cat got pregnant!"
Bai Lu looked at his surprised expression and asked quickly, "Was it Assistant Shao who made coffee for him?"
The tech geek nodded, not knowing what was going on. "Yes."
Suddenly, Bai Lu stopped lecturing his apprentice and said calmly, "That's normal. You'll get used to it."
"ah?"
The two said goodbye at the elevator entrance. After returning to his office, Vice President Bai remembered that he had forgotten to ask Director Zhao how his cat got pregnant.
After handing over the work at Ark Games, Si Yizi will prepare to return to Beijing to deal with matters related to the Si family inheritance.
This time when he returns to Beijing, Shao Jiayan is his must-have choice to accompany him.
The only thing holding him back now is that management is still arguing over Wen Kefan's new position.
Although Si Yiran invested a lot of money, it was not enough to make Wen Kefan a powerful figure in an important project team. Moreover, Wen Kefan himself was a naive person. He knew his level very well and just wanted to get a position in the company that was prestigious but would not affect the development of the project.
While Si Yizhi was still thinking, he saw Shao Jiayan's avatar flashing on DingTalk.
He clicked on it and saw that the other party had sent him a flight schedule half an hour ago, asking him which time period to schedule his flight.
But I haven't received a reply, so I'm asking again.
Si Yizhi randomly picked a similar time and typed, "You've been playing games every day during this period, so you must be very familiar with the company's games, right?"
The other party typed back quickly: Yes, I understand it very well.
In the company, Wen Kefan has a good relationship with Shao Jiayan, and he is familiar with the so-called "plot", so Si Yizhi wants to hear his opinion.
"Wen Kefan is about to start working on the project. What position do you think would be best for him?"
Sitting at his workstation, Shao Jiayan looked at Mr. Si's question and fell into deep thought.
He first carefully recalled the plot of the original work.
In the original text, Si Yizhi helped Wen Kefan wholeheartedly and directly gave him the position of Love Reincarnation Project Director, and then transferred two confidants to assist him wholeheartedly.
Later in the love cycle, the new male protagonist became very popular after his debut. Wen Kefan became famous and returned to the Wen family with success. After that, everything went smoothly for him.
Not only was his childhood friend fighting with his fiancé to the point of life and death, he was caught in the middle and was in a very difficult position.
In order to highlight the villain's power, the author gave Si Yizhi too many golden fingers in the early stage, which resulted in the protagonists being unable to defeat him in the later stage.
In order to allow the protagonists to achieve the final victory, the author arranged such a slightly far-fetched ending for the villain.
Shao Jiayan was very grateful to Master Wen for sharing snacks and small toys with him every other day. But after experiencing the repressive family of the Si family with Mr. Si, and looking at his own refreshing life in the game every day, he decisively joined the villain team and was unwilling to look back.
"Boss Si, what do you think of the position of planning team leader?"
Anyone with a little gaming experience knows that no matter whether it is a MOBA or PRG, as long as it is an online game, the position most likely to be criticized by players, besides the boss of the game manufacturer, is the game planner.
Shao Jiayan's suggestion was also selfish.
[Wen Kefan definitely doesn’t have the brains to be a planner, but he is the protagonist and has the aura of a protagonist! He is not afraid of being scolded.]
Si Yizhi in the office opposite seemed to be thinking about something, so that afternoon, Wen Kefan's transfer notice was issued.
After learning that he had become the leader of the planning team, Master Wen, who had no relevant experience, happily hugged his personal belongings and ran towards his gilded journey.
After dealing with the relevant matters of Ark Games, two days later, Si Yizhi brought Wen Kefan back to Beijing again.
After they landed in Beijing this time, no one from the Si family came to pick them up at the airport. But Si Yizhi told him that he had made all the necessary preparations before coming here this time, and the situation like last time would not happen again.
When Shao Jiayan came out of the airport, he saw three Hummers and a dozen burly men dressed in suits and bodyguards.
[Wow~ The villain boss finally looks a bit like a villain boss. ]
[Great! It’s a bulletproof car! The stingy guy is saved! ]
Si Yizhi glared at Assistant Niu Ma unhappily.
He thinks he is not a stingy boss. The average salary of Ark Game employees is much higher than that of the same industry! He himself is just not materialistic and does not advocate consumption.
But when it comes to spending money, Si Yizhi has never been stingy!
"What are you standing there for? Get in the car!" Si Yizhi urged, "I'm going to treat someone to lunch tomorrow, so remember to book a nice restaurant."
Shao Jiayan climbed into the car swiftly. After hearing the menu given by Mr. Si, he realized that the person Si Yizhi was going to treat to dinner tomorrow was not someone else, but his biological mother's current husband.
In the original story, Si Yizhi's biological mother is just a background to highlight the villain's inherent badness. The original story doesn't focus much on her. It only says that the villain's parents divorced and each formed a new family.
[What is the situation between Mr. Si and his mother? It would be great if I could know what happened to the Si family back then, so that I can better help Mr. Si think of a solution. ]
Because there was a bodyguard driving, Shao Jiayan, who was sitting in the passenger seat, was checking the list of high-rated morning restaurants in Beijing while thinking absentmindedly.
Si Yizhi, who was sitting in the back seat, was silent for a moment, then took the initiative to speak, "I haven't seen my mother since my parents divorced. If there is anything, it is conveyed through her current husband. But I don't meet him very often."
Si Yizhi told him that the poisoning almost took his mother's life.
Although she was eventually rescued, the poison destroyed her health and caused her to suffer from severe kidney disease, which required lifelong treatment. The police investigation ultimately proved that it was her three-year-old son who poisoned her.
Even though the child was instigated by someone, this incident still caused a mental breakdown for this woman who had suffered from her husband's infidelity, her mother-in-law's difficulties, and the inability to raise her son.
"It destroyed her not only physically but mentally as well. She would have a mental breakdown whenever she saw me, so I decided not to see her anymore."
The other party's sudden confession left Shao Jiayan at a loss as to how to respond.
After a long while, he managed to utter, "Boss Si, everyone has to look forward."
[Fortunately, I don’t have a father or a mother, otherwise, if I were to put myself in Mr. Si’s situation, it would be really miserable.]
Si Yizhi, who was originally feeling a little sad because of looking back on the past, suddenly lost all his melancholy after hearing Assistant Niu Ma's thoughts.
