Chapter 27: Add me on WeChat?
Yue Qianling originally thought that she would get the collective approval of her three friends, but when she came back from washing the cups, the group chat was still stuck on Lin Xun's ambiguous reply.
[Glutinous Rice Dough Sticks]: What? Are you guys speechless?
It took a long time.
[Camel]: Indeed, how could there be such a speechless thing.
After sending this message, Luotuo immediately opened Gu Xun's chat box.
[Camel]: Is this how you attract people's attention?
[Camel]: Even if you haven’t eaten pork, you should have seen a pig run, right? ? ?
Gu Xun never returned to Luotuo.
He was sitting in a chair at the moment, looking at the screen full of codes, and didn't even look at his phone.
In fact, it was only one day since he rejected Yue Qianling, but he didn't know why he felt like he had experienced a century.
There was chaos and turmoil in the country.
Even the few little coincidences that happened this afternoon became dramatic.
And what Yue Qianling said was like a bucket of cold water poured over his head, making him realize clearly that words once spoken are like water poured out and cannot be taken back.
After a long silence, he took a deep breath, stood up and walked towards the tea room.
When I passed the art group, I saw a group of people gathered by the aisle, chattering about something.
Someone suddenly called him.
"Gu Xun, is there anything wrong? If not, come over and help me."
Gu Xun stopped, turned his head and asked, "What?"
The main beauty had dark circles under her eyes, and it was obvious that she had been working all night again. She pointed at the computer screen and said, "Take a look at this. Is there anything here that you think fits Sigrid's style?"
Sigrid is a relatively important female boss in the 3A game being developed by the Ninth Business Unit. Her original design has been overturned from last year to this year, and there is no clue at all.
Based on the game world view, her character is the most complex, representing absolute power and evil, while also having a beautiful body and face with feminine characteristics.
There are at least hundreds of sketches that have come out during this period, and some of the characters either show off their feminine curves too much and lack a sense of power. Or the evil feeling is too obvious, making people know that he is a villain boss at first glance.
But the ones who draw are always the people in the art team. They think about it day and night and remember Sigrid's character by heart.
But because of this, they are unable to break out of the original limitations of their thinking and have completely lost track of the direction in which they can break through.
Their original painting team was unable to hand in their work, and the 3D modeling team was under great pressure. The chief artist had no choice but to ask someone to collect nearly two hundred pictures of similar styles on the Internet for reference.
However, with so many pictures, most team members don’t have the patience to read to the end. They are chattering and expressing their opinions, which is giving the lead designer a headache. So we have to find a sober outsider for reference, who happens to witness the main development process, which is the best.
It just so happens that Gu Xun is free now.
He walked to the side of the chief artist, and everyone in the art team made way for him.
The computer screen was on the album preview interface. Gu Xun sat down and opened the first picture.
At first everyone gathered around him and watched with him.
But Gu Xun did not just look at the pictures casually, he looked at each picture very carefully.
After more than half an hour, he hadn't seen half of it.
Moreover, he didn't say a word while looking at the pictures. He just stared at the screen intently and didn't communicate with other people. As a result, later on, everyone in the art team gradually went about their own business, and only the chief artist was still sitting next to Gu Xun.
In a blink of an eye, an entire afternoon had passed and there were only about ten photos left in the album.
Gu Xun still didn't make a statement, and the main beauty couldn't help herself and asked quietly, "Do you think there is anyone suitable?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Xun loosened his hand holding the mouse, rested his chin on his hand, and stared intently at a picture in front of him.
After a moment, he stood up.
“This one is the best.”
"The best?" The main artist took the mouse and quickly flipped through the next few pictures. "Don't you want to look at the others?"
Gu Xun had already left his seat, leaving behind a few words.
"I won't watch it anymore. You guys make your own decisions."
The main beauty tilted her head, staring at this indescribable picture, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Three days later in the afternoon, Yue Qianling was concentrating on coloring when a message from an unfamiliar contact suddenly appeared on DingTalk.
"Yue Qianling, good afternoon. I am Wei Han, the head artist of the ninth business unit of our company. Can we chat sometime?"
Yue Qianling was stunned for a moment, then moved closer to Huang Jie and asked in a low voice, "The head artist of the Ninth Division actually asked me to talk to him. What's going on?"
"Let me take a look." Huang Jie turned around and glanced at Yue Qianling's computer, frowning, "I don't know why he is looking for you..."
Huang Jie thought of something and suddenly lowered her voice, "Are you trying to flirt with me?"
"Your thinking is a bit too divergent." Yue Qianling frowned and pushed Huang Jie away. "Who uses DingTalk for flirting? Are you looking for a sense of taboo?"
She simply replied with a few words.
"What can I do for you?"
After a while, the other party replied: "I can't explain it clearly at the moment, why don't you come to my office?"
Yue Qianling thought about it and decided to go to the Ninth Business Unit.
It has been more than half a year since the last time he came here, and Yue Qianling is still relatively unfamiliar with this floor.
She didn't remember where the art group was exactly, and wanted to find someone to ask, but she found that all the workstations she saw were empty.
This department is too free.
After walking a little further, she heard someone talking. She looked up and saw someone playing games. There were five or six people watching around him, recording something with tablets.
Yue Qianling wanted to ask them about the chief art office, so she walked over quietly.
This group of people were so focused that they didn't notice Yue Qianling approaching at all.
When she walked up to them, Yue Qianling realized that the person sitting there was Gu Xun.
He was wearing a black short-sleeved shirt, leaning back in his chair, with one hand on the keyboard and the other operating the mouse, looking at the screen calmly.
As far as his sight reached, Yue Qianling saw his two hands operating rapidly. The game character threw out a grappling hook and aimed at a high place. He jumped up and at the same time, he opened the scope and pre-aimed with a flying sniper.
When he was shot in the head, he didn't even blink.
The entire operation was so smooth and precise, and completed in one go, that the person standing next to him forgot to take notes.
Gu Xun bent one leg and stepped on the pad, released the mouse, and stared at the person on the screen with his eyes downcast.
"The mechanical feel is so plastic and feels like an arcade game. It's not even on the same level as Call of Duty Modern Warfare. There's no comparison."
After saying this, he was about to stand up, but when he looked up, he saw Yue Qianling standing beside him.
The moment their eyes met, Gu Xun paused in his movement to stand up.
His eyes flickered slightly and he asked, "Why are you here?"
Yue Qianling was also stunned for a moment.
She had just been watching him on the playground and had unknowingly become fascinated, and she hadn't expected him to suddenly look up.
But at this moment, she didn't know what nerve was pulling her facial muscles. She smiled at him with a fake smile as if answering his question. Then she turned her head and asked Yi Hong beside her: "Where is the main art office?"
Yi Hong thought about it and suddenly understood. He pointed her in a direction and said, "Turn left and it's the second office."
"OK, thanks."
After saying that, Yue Qianling turned around.
In order to avoid looking like she was running away, she very deliberately controlled her steps and walked forward slowly and at a moderate pace.
Gu Xun looked at her back for a long while before asking Yi Hong, "Why did she look for the main artist?"
Yi Hong said, "You don't know? I thought you knew it was drawn by Yue Qianling."

When Yue Qianling walked into Wei Han's office, he was typing rapidly.
Seeing Yue Qianling coming in, Li Xiang put down what he was doing and pointed to the chair in front of the table, "Sit down."
Yue Qianling pulled out a chair and asked before she sat down, "What do you want from me?"
"It's like this. Our project has a boss named Sigrid. Her character design is quite complicated. We have not been able to make an original painting that matches her character design. Some time ago, I asked someone to find one or two hundred pictures on the Internet for reference, and then I saw a three-view drawing of a snake girl in the style of Cthulhu."
Hearing this, Yue Qianling raised his eyes in even more confusion.
"Hey, when I first saw it, I thought it was not the Sigrid I imagined at all, so I just skipped it."
As Wei Han was talking, he suddenly stood up excitedly and leaned closer to Yue Qianling. "But a few days ago, a colleague of ours was looking at pictures for us and said that this one was the best. Then our team studied it carefully for a few days and found that it was really the case. The Cthulhu snake girl looks a little scary at first glance, but if you look closely at the figure and the deep feelings, it is the absolute power and evil we want, but it is not expressed so directly."
"So..." Yue Qianling asked, "Are you talking about my picture?"
A few months before graduation, Yue Qianling had less things to do, so she drew the picture intermittently when she had nothing to do. After perfecting the details, she posted it on Weibo, which she hadn't updated for a long time.
There were quite a few likes and comments at the time, but she didn't care much.
"That's right! I asked someone to contact the artist and found his Weibo account. Someone told me it was you." Wei Han patted the table excitedly. "So we discussed it for a while and found that this kind of thing is difficult to imitate, so we wanted you to help complete the original painting of Sigrid."
Nearly two hours later, Yue Qianling came out of Wei Han's office.
He talked to her a lot about Sigrid's character background and the world view of the entire game. The amount of information was so huge that Yue Qianling was still dizzy.
And she was not sure whether to agree to Wei Han's request.
She understood very well what the project of the Ninth Business Unit meant to the entire company, and it was the result of many years of hard work by this group of people.
She had never worked on a 3A masterpiece and didn't have much experience, so she didn't dare to agree easily to take on the original painting of an important BOSS.
But all rational thinking could not resist the eagerness in her heart to try.
Yue Qianling was lost in thought as she left the art department step by step and headed towards the elevator, completely unaware of the situation around her.
Gu Xun was standing at the end of the corridor. When he saw Yue Qianling come out, he waited patiently until she walked in front of him. Just as he was about to speak, he saw that she didn't even raise her head and turned straight towards the elevator.
Gu Xun: “…”
He was silent for a moment, then called her.
"Yue Qianling."
Yue Qianling suddenly stopped
As far as she could remember, this was the first time Gu Xun called her name.
I didn't expect that these three words would sound so gentle when pronounced in his clear voice.
After a long while, she turned around and said calmly, "What's the matter?"
Gu Xun took a few steps towards Yue Qianling and stood just under the window.
The sunlight was cut into geometric shapes, falling on his face, blurring his expression.
He looked at Yue Qianling solemnly before speaking: "Do you want to help us?"
"have no idea."
The answer was too concise, not even a single word was added.
Gu Xun turned away, took a deep breath, and then when he looked at her, there was a bit more helplessness in his eyes.
In this comparison, Yue Qianling is much more approachable when playing games.
Gu Xun lowered his head and thought for a while, then suddenly raised his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Then... add WeChat?"
After saying this, he looked at Yue Qianling closely.
Yue Qianling's fingertips hanging on the edge of his pants trembled slightly.
The next second, she said coldly: "I usually only add acquaintances on WeChat."
Gu Xun: “…”
The elevator arrived and Yue Qianling walked in.
Gu Xun didn't look away until her figure was blocked by the elevator door.
He took out his phone, clicked on Yue Qianling's chat box, smiled self-deprecatingly, and whispered, "Are you not familiar enough yet?"
After his finger paused on the screen for a moment, he clicked on Yue Qianling's circle of friends, and the first thing he saw was the photo Yue Qianling had posted half a year ago.
If there hadn't been so many people that day, and he had approached the observation deck and seen her in person, he would have surely discovered something.
It wouldn't have led to the current situation.
Gu Xun looked down at the photo, speechless for a long time.
Suddenly, his eyes moved slightly, and then he spread out two fingers to enlarge the photo.
At that time, he was only focused on the fireworks and direction in the photo to determine her presence at the scene, but ignored the group of people below the photo.
But at this moment, when he focused his eyes on the prediction, he found that there was a figure in the dense crowd who looked like himself.
The blurry profile could not be completely identified, but there happened to be a slightly plump man next to him, who also happened to be carrying a dark red school bag.
Isn't that a camel?
Gu Xun almost immediately confirmed that the person in the photo was him.
But he was not sure whether Yue Qianling posted this kind of photo intentionally or it was just a coincidence.
He already had the answer in his subconscious mind, it just needed to be verified.
At this moment, Yi Hong suddenly waved at him with a tablet in his hand, "What are you doing standing there? It's time for a meeting!"
Gu Xun frowned and walked towards the meeting room.
This is just a short, ad hoc meeting.
More than thirty minutes later, everyone stood up and left, only Gu Xun was still sitting in the meeting room.
All kinds of speculations about the photo popped up again. He took out his mobile phone and clicked on Yue Qianling’s circle of friends again.
But I can't see the photo anymore.
Gu Xun suddenly sat up straight and pulled down to refresh.
Still can't see.
Did she delete it?
Gu Xun's mood was suddenly so torn that it could not be described in words.
Her behavior not only proves that the person in the photo is him.
Even the words "Happy New Year" were said specifically to him by Yue Qianling.
But she deleted it so neatly? !
