Chapter 5
Facing Yi Hong's questioning, although Gu Xun didn't say anything, his lazily drooping eyelids and every eyelash said, "Yes, I'm just sleepy. If you keep talking, I can show you how to sleep on the spot."
Just then the elevator reached the 24th floor and the door was slowly opening.
During the moment when Yi Hong was speechless, Gu Xun took a step forward and turned to the tea room on the left.
Yi Hong had never encountered such an outrageous situation.
He was stunned for two seconds, then hurried over and saw Gu Xun pouring coffee for him.
"No, are you really sleepy?"
Yi Hong looked at Gu Xun carefully and found that his eyes did look a little tired. "Did you not sleep well last night? Why do you look so listless?"
Gu Xun raised his eyes and said calmly, "Try to see if you can be more energetic if you are woken up in the middle of the night."
"I won't be woken up by anyone in the middle of the night." Yi Hong vowed, "Because I didn't sleep in the middle of the night."
Gu Xun ignored him.
The two men came out of the tea room and passed by the public office area of the development department. Someone suddenly called Gu Xun.
The man wore thick glasses that pressed down his nose bridge. Everyone in the development department called him Map. The small man sat upright in front of a computer with a densely packed Ludum Dare information page on the screen.
He raised his glasses and squinted at Gu Xun, "I heard that you won the first place in LD #30po, why didn't I see your name on the list?"
Gu Xun stopped and looked back at his screen.
Map then asked, "How old are you this year? LD #30 was held in 2014. You were still in high school then, right?"
He glanced up and down at Gu Xun, and his tone became sarcastic: "You guys don't have to do homework in high school, right?"
Yi Hong, who was standing nearby, raised his eyebrows in an ambiguous manner when he heard this.
Ludum Dare is a rapid online game development challenge event founded by Geoff Howland. The fact that there is no need to form a team or rush to the venue means that experts from all fields participate in the challenge every time. Its high degree of freedom rules directly raise the difficulty to the point that ordinary people don't even have the courage to sign up.
So when Map asked this question, his words implied that Gu Xun was bragging, and his eyes were shining with excitement, as if he had caught him by the braid and was waiting to expose his lies and tell the world immediately.
Why can a fresh college graduate be the main developer?
Of course, Map is not the only one who has this idea.
Sure enough, people at the surrounding workstations began to raise their heads and stare at this side.
And Gu Xun, whose eyes were focused on the subject, seemed to have not yet overcome his sleepiness.
He glanced at the map casually, took two steps to his side, stretched out his arm, placed the coffee next to his mouse, and bent down.
Map felt a shadow suddenly looming over him, and he froze for a moment. Then he saw Gu Xun leaning over and grabbing his mouse. He slid the mouse two or three times, and the cursor selected the letters "XUN LIN". Then he stood up and looked down at the sitting Map.
"I was in high school and had a lot of homework. My name was Lin Xun at the time."
He tilted his head and asked indifferently, "You were...?"
In the bright sunlight, when Gu Xun's narrow eyes glanced down from the side, his nonchalant expression was filled with an elusive yet lingering sense of contempt.
Map's throat suddenly became blocked, and he could only stare at Gu Xun without uttering a single word.
Gu Xun reached out and scooped up his half-drunk cup of coffee. He let everyone's eyes stick to his back and without even glancing around, he walked straight through the aisle.
Only Yi Hong followed him, put his hand on his shoulder and asked, "Have you changed your name?"
"Um."
Yi Hong thought it was quite novel. He had never seen anyone change their name after high school. "Why would you change it when you are so old?"
However, Gu Xun didn't seem to want to talk about this issue. He took a big sip of coffee while walking, staring straight ahead at the passage, with a hint of indifference and sharpness in his eyes.
"It turns out that name is too common and doesn't suit me."
Yi Hong: “…”
Yi Hong kept silent from then on, and the two walked side by side in silence.
When passing by a window with the roller blinds not drawn, Gu Xun suddenly stopped.
The afternoon sun poured in through the glass windows, making the green plants by the windows look shiny.
He walked over slowly, stood in the beam of light, and squinted at the strange-shaped clouds in the sky.
The golden sunlight flickered on his face, making the man's features gentle.
A few seconds later, he suddenly took out his cell phone and took a picture of the sky.
On the 19th floor, in the mobile game division, there was an empty corner.
[Yin Xue]: Hahahaha, is this true? ?
[Yin Xue]: I suggest posting to Douban Social Death Group
[Yin Xue]: I am dying of laughter
As soon as Yue Qianling got out of the elevator, she started to complain crazily in the dormitory group about what happened today, but she only got ridicule and no comfort.
[Glutinous Rice Dough Sticks]: Whenever I think back to what happened just now, my scalp goes numb and my toes curl up in embarrassment. You can still laugh? Do you want to eat my fist?
[Yin Xue]: You need to change your perspective on things.
[Yin Xue]: Look, it’s only his second day here, and you’ve already met him twice. If you hadn’t resigned, wouldn’t you be able to meet him every day?
[Yin Xue]: Maybe we can have a meal together or socialize together or something.
[Yin Xue]: Why did you go to the company again today?
Why go to the company?
Isn't it just to try your luck and see if you can meet Gu Xun? !
Yue Qianling suddenly felt that Yin Xue's words were like a hammer hitting her on the head.
The knocking made her feel a little dizzy, but her thoughts became clearer.
yes.
As long as she comes back to work, she might take the same subway with Gu Xun every day to and from get off work, and she would have all kinds of reasons to talk to him. Wouldn't she have a lot of room to play? Why would she be afraid that Gu Xun would not remember her name?
Compared with Gu Xun, what are the company's shortcomings, big and small, insignificant?
This was simply like the matchmaker handcuffing the two of them together. If she didn't seize this opportunity, it would be like a dog biting Cupid and not knowing the matchmaker's heart.
Thinking of this, Yue Qianling no longer had any thoughts about gloves or not. She turned around and pressed the elevator button.
But when the elevator door opened in front of her, she refused to move.
Standing at the door, she hung her head, recalling the momentum of her resignation when even eight horses were unable to pull her back.
She raised her hand and touched her cheek, feeling very painful.
In just a few seconds, Yue Qianling's heart was in a fierce struggle between his conscience and his desires.
Just as the door was about to close automatically, Yue Qianling closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and strode in with a "give it your all" attitude.
Back in this closed little space, Yue Qianling stared at the changing number of stairs nervously and anxiously, thinking about how to propose her unreasonable request to the company's HR that she wanted to go back to work.
She was so focused that the sudden and continuous vibrations of her cell phone startled her.
She hurriedly took out her cell phone.
【School Prince】：[Picture]
[School Prince]: Look at this cloud
[School Prince]: Does it look like the M24 I stole yesterday?
Yue Qianling: “…”
This idiot is still showing off.
Her nervousness instantly deflated like a popped balloon, and she typed with a cold face.
[Nuomi Xiaomahua]: Like the AWM I'm going to use to blow your head off tonight
As soon as this sentence was uttered, the elevator reached the 22nd floor.
This is the company's main administrative department, and the Human Resources Department is located in the outermost office area.
Yue Qianling was too embarrassed to walk in arrogantly, so she just poked her head in and took a quick look around.
The administrative staff were not as busy as the front-line staff. Most of them were taking a lunch break at the moment, while Chen Yin, who was more familiar with her, was playing with her mobile phone.
Everything was just what Yue Qianling wanted.
With a smile in her eyes, she walked over quietly and patted Chen Yin's shoulder gently.
In Chen Yin's surprised eyes, Yue Qianling whispered: "Can you come out for a moment? I have something to talk to you about."
Although Chen Yin didn't understand what was going on, she followed her to the corridor outside with her cell phone in hand.
"What's going on? Did you forget to take something?"
"No, no." The two stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows in the corridor. Large patches of sunlight poured in, giving Yue Qianling some courage.
She took a deep breath and said in one breath: "I regret it and I want to come back to work. Do you think I still have a chance?"
Chen Yin did not reply immediately.
She folded her arms and looked at Yue Qianling, with a smile of no surprise on her lips, but a hint of surprise in her eyes.
"Why, you figured it out so quickly?"
Yue Qianling nodded hurriedly: "I didn't know what was good for me and didn't understand how good the company was. I figured it out after I went back and had a good sleep."
Chen Yin was not surprised at all by a situation like Yue Qianling.
After all, in the gaming industry, every company treats people like machines. Everyone is equally tired, so who cares about dreams? The most realistic thing is to get a higher salary.
Fresh graduates have weak minds and are most easily shaken, so it is not ideal for them to figure things out so quickly.
So she didn't plan to ask any more questions, but just frowned and said, "It's not like our company hasn't encountered a situation like yours before, but no one has regretted it as quickly as you did. I have to talk to the director and the boss first to see what they think."
As she spoke, she reached out and patted Yue Qianling on the shoulder. "But according to the regulations, you cannot return to your original department within three months of leaving. Can you accept this?"
Unexpectedly, Yue Qianling's eyes lit up: "Then can I go to the Ninth Division?"
Chen Yin turned around and walked away expressionlessly: "I'm going to be busy. Contact me often if you have nothing else to do. Don't contact me if you have something else to do."
"Sister, sister!" Yue Qianling quickly pulled her back, "I was just kidding you."
In fact, Yue Qianling had never expected to enter the ninth business unit.
And she doesn't have to go back to her original department. Isn't this what she wants most?
"I know you want to go to the Ninth Division. Who in our company wouldn't want to go there if they have some ambition?" Chen Yin turned around and tilted her neck to look at the men walking by at the end of the corridor. "But there are some things you have to understand. There is a contempt chain within their company. Even if the boss is willing to transfer you there, they won't accept you."
Yue Qianling asked: "What is the contempt chain?"
Chen Yin frowned and looked at Yue Qianling with some pity: "Those AAA game enthusiasts, as you know, look down on mobile games, thinking that neither the players nor the developers have any technical content."
Yue Qianling felt disappointed, but still asked, "So they don't usually play mobile games?"
"As far as I know, they don't play it because they think it affects their aesthetic taste." Chen Yin thought of something funny and smiled, "They think people who make mobile games are just posting stickers."
Yue Qianling: “…”
They think that those who make mobile games are just putting up screen protectors.
Film...
Film...
Although Yue Qianling had heard this statement before when watching e-sports competitions.
But hearing Chen Yin speak so directly about what the Ninth Division thought of her position, or rather, what Gu Xun thought of her...
It turned out that when Gu Xun saw her, it was as if he was looking at a young man diligently applying film under the overpass.
asphyxia.
Yue Qianling had never felt so suffocated before.
"Let's not talk about it for now. The meeting is about to start. You should go back and wait for the news. I will call you if there is any news."
Chen Yin left after saying this.
Yue Qianling was still standing there in a daze, and it took a while before he slowly walked towards the elevator.
Night always comes early in winter.
The people in the development department never had the concept of leaving get off work on time. At 12 o'clock in the evening, the office area was still full of people.
Yi Hong stood up and stretched, glanced at everyone, then sat back down and called in the group to go eat.
In this way, everyone assumed that it was time to get off work, and people began to pack up their things one after another.
The compiler on Gu Xun's screen was running a program. After everyone around him stood up, he quickly turned off the computer, picked up the mobile phone on the table, and went out with everyone.
In the elevator, Yi Hong held up his phone and said, "No need to queue today, let's go straight in."
Upon hearing this, Gu Xun also took out his cell phone and took a look.
On the message list, his conversation with Xiao Mahua still remains at "I'm going to blow your head off with my AWM tonight."
Like the AWM that I'm going to use to blow your head off tonight.
I'm going to blow your head off tonight.
I tonight.
He turned off the screen, put the phone back in his bag, turned around and said to Yi Hong: "I'm not going to eat."
Yi Hong turned back suddenly: "Why?"
The elevator door opened, and Gu Xun strode out, leaving only one sentence: "Someone asked me to play games tonight."
Whenever Yue Qianling hears the word "playing games", she will think of the film pasted under the overpass.
So after returning to the dormitory, she did not play various games as usual, but concentrated on her graduation project.
It was not until half past nine that a voice call came in via WeChat.
Yue Qianling was in a bad mood today, and her tone was not very good when she answered the phone: "What?!"
"Why don't you reply to the message?"
As soon as he heard this voice, Yue Qianling's depression inexplicably dissipated by more than half.
Her tone softened: "I didn't check my phone."
"Oh, number one."
Yue Qianling propped up her chin and scribbled on the digital tablet with her paintbrush: "Not coming anymore."
"how?"
Yue Qianling: "I don't want to look like a film sticker every day."
"..." The other party paused for a moment, "Why are you crazy?"
"Don't you think playing mobile games is similar to..." Yue Qianling paused, dropped the paintbrush, and reached for the headphones. "Forget it, for your sake, I'll just put on the screen protector and log in."
"Hmm? For my sake?"
"Yeah." Yue Qianling thought of something and was slightly absent-minded. She held the earphones in her hand and rubbed them lightly, muttering unconsciously, "Have I ever told you that your voice sounds like the person I like?"
This time, there was a sudden silence from the other side.
After several seconds, his tone was no longer as arrogant as before, but became low and a little dull.
"You, have someone you like?"
