After cutting the vegetables, Liu Wangxue found a bowl with a plate on top of it. "What's this?"
As she spoke, she took the plate away, revealing half a bowl of ruby-red pomegranate seeds: "Mom, you really picked them!"
Liu Wangxue automatically omitted the word "pomegranate" for fear that Gua Gua would hear it.
Gu Xuelan handed her a spoon and said, "It's really delicious. No wonder Xiao Xu and Hua Yu have been thinking about it all the time. If you weren't my daughter, you wouldn't have been able to keep even half a bowl."
"Hehe, thank you, mom~" Liu Wangxue scooped a full spoonful, and his expression brightened after taking a bite.
It's sweet with a slight sourness, but the proportion is just right. You'll almost drool while eating it.
"A traveler walking in the desert suddenly encountered a spring of sweet water." Liu Wangxue commented, "Oh, what should I do? I don't want to share it with them. I want to keep it all for myself."
Gu Xuelan laughed at her: "No wonder Gu Gua is so stingy, he learned it from you. You are like your master, and you raise like your bird."
"Oh, that's not right. Gua Gua's real owner is my dad. I'm just raising it temporarily for my dad." Liu Wangxue spat out a mouthful of seeds, scooped up another full spoonful, and couldn't stop eating.
Gu Xuelan patted her and said, "You are framing me in front of your mother, right?"
Liu Wangxue dodged with a smile.
After the meal was ready, it was time for the three of them to eat, but today they didn't lay out the bowls in a row.
As soon as Liu Wangxue entered the living room, she saw the three cubs lying together in the Pengpeng nest. She first placed three bowls, poured their respective rations into them, and then went over to dig them out.
"I know you guys are emo, but you still have to eat a little. Be good, let's continue being emo after we finish eating."
Gu Xuelan also came over with a bowl filled with cooked beef brisket without any seasoning. She put a piece in each of Pengpeng and Xiaoci's bowls.
Guagua looked at the two bowls next to him, then looked at his own bowl, and then called "chirp" at Gu Xuelan.
Liu Wangxue rubbed the cat and dog's heads and said, "Eat quickly. Guagua seems unhappy."
"Okay, I'm not partial." Gu Xuelan said with a smile, put the bowl on the ground, stood up and took out a walnut with no additives in the paper shell from the cupboard, peeled out some walnut kernels, and put them in Gu Gua's bowl.
The little parrot was satisfied and lowered its head to peck at the food.
Xiaoci sniffed the bowl, took a bite of the beef brisket, and started eating! Then he said to Peng Peng: "Meow~" It smells so good! Come here quickly, eat your fill before feeling sad.
Peng Peng moved his nose, walked over, lowered his head, and ate the beef brisket in one bite.
Okay, it’s time to eat, and Liu Wangxue felt relieved.
The mother and daughter returned to the kitchen and served the food. Gu Xuelan looked at the door and said, "What's wrong with Xiao Xu? Why hasn't he come over yet?"
Liu Wangxue said: "I'll send him a message and ask."
"Don't send messages, just call."
Liu Wangxue made a voice call, but was hung up. The next second, Xu Qingsong appeared, looking apologetic: "Sorry, I had to discuss a few issues with Xiao Jin and the others, which took up some time."
While eating, I chatted with Liu Wangxue about the work progress, but their programming side was quite boring and there was not much to talk about, so I focused on the art side.
It mainly exaggerates Li Yu's deep hatred and bitterness.
Liu Wangxue and her daughter looked worried. Gu Xuelan asked, "Isn't Yun Kai a little too harsh?"
Liu Wangxue was worried about Li Yu: "Will the self-confidence that our Xiaoyu has worked so hard to build up be shattered just like that?"
"Don't worry, Lao Du knows what he's doing." Xu Qingsong explained to the two of them.
The competitive pressure and work pressure in Du Yunkai's previous company, including Lumin Technology where Xu Qingsong worked before, were very high. It was common for the art department to revise the manuscript over and over again.
For example, the head of the department next to Xu Qingsong is not a human being compared to Du Yunkai.
When reviewing a manuscript, they would only say "it doesn't feel right", "the atmosphere is wrong", "it's not the picture I imagined", and "take it back and revise it".
Without any clear direction or substantive suggestions, the designer made several revisions in a daze and finally went back to the first version.
When Du Yunkai was looking at these design drafts, if he felt there was something inappropriate, he would point it out directly and give clear suggestions for modifications.
Although revising the manuscript is painful and the artists in the group complain every day, this kind of revision has a direction, and the final products are often amazing.
Li Yu's talent and ability were recognized by Du Yunkai.
Du Yunkai's analysis was that students like Li Yu were undoubtedly the best students in the department, so he should not have suffered any setbacks in his professional field.
Just as he thought, Li Yu not only had top grades in school, but the design drafts he submitted to the teachers were always praised. It was even more impossible for him to revise the draft.
Xu Qingsong also said to Du Yunkai: "Wenxi has worked hard to build up his confidence, so you should take it easy."
Du Yunkai has a different idea from them: "I think he has enough confidence in his professional ability. His lack of confidence is only reflected in his interactions with people in daily life."
Xu Qingsong understood immediately: "So you are not interested in wine?"
Appreciating talent is a traditional virtue in Du Yunkai's family. He doesn't want to see such a talented child bury himself because of his poor social skills.
Li Yu received positive feedback from Wenxi, and in just half a month, there were visible changes.
So what Du Yunkai really wants to do is to see if he can muster up the courage to refute others when faced with negative feedback.
Every time his manuscript was rejected, this kid would always say, “Okay, I’ll revise it,” “Sorry, I’ll revise it again,” or “Sorry, I will definitely revise it better.”
In fact, after the first version was designed, Du Yunkai was immediately impressed and liked it very much, and felt that he had found a treasure. He felt that the design of this little carp was even better than the one made by the senior designer they hired during the 21st case.
Du Yunkai deliberately found a few faults, and he felt that he was nitpicking, but Li Yu's second version was better than the first. Then he tried the same trick again, and Li Yu always surprised him.
So Du Yunkai said: "I don't think this is the upper limit of his ability, so, on the other hand, I also want to see how far I can push him."
Xu Qingsong gave him a piece of advice: "Be careful not to get into trouble."
"How is that possible?" Du Yunkai felt that he was very sensible, and he also discovered the tough side of Li Yu's character. The greater the pressure, the greater the explosive power.
He believed that this little carp would be able to make the leap to the dragon gate.
After listening to Xu Qingsong's explanation, Liu Wangxue and Gu Xuelan felt relieved.
But Liu Wangxue still said: "Xiaoyu will suffer a lot this time."
