Chapter 65 Ending 1
The hotel is built on the hillside, perfectly avoiding the busiest scenic spots, but it cannot hide the brilliance of the light show on the pleasure boats.
Yue Qianling lay obediently on the bed, allowing Gu Xun to arrange things for her, but she still didn't dare to look him in the eye, and just tilted her head to look to the side.
When she saw her nightgown, underwear and his clothes falling to the ground one by one and piling up crumpled on the soft carpet, her body felt an electric shock from his touch, and she felt numb all over and became extremely sensitive.
When Yue Qianling felt Gu Xun's kiss reach the place that made her tremble the most, her toes suddenly curled up.
Her ten fingers slowly inserted into Gu Xun's soft short hair, sometimes caressing lightly with her fingertips, and sometimes digging hard for stimulation.
In a state of confusion and passion, she stared dazedly at the colorful lights in the dark blue sky with her eyes half open and half closed.
Just before her consciousness became completely confused, she suddenly thought of something and pushed Gu Xun in panic.
"The windows and curtains are not closed yet."
Gu Xun was breathing heavily and took the time to glance towards the window.
The curtains were only half drawn, and as far as the eye could see was the vast night sky dotted with a few stars.
After retracting his gaze, the desire in Gu Xun's eyes became even stronger.
"There's not even a bird outside, what are you afraid of?"
"I……"
Before Yue Qianling could finish her sentence, her lips were blocked by him.
The world is in decline and people’s hearts are no longer the same!
I don’t know when the light show in the distance ended. The dim and dazzling lights faded away, and the night was as dark as ink.
Yue Qianling understood that there were no buildings opposite this hotel built halfway up the mountain, let alone any living creatures with eyes.
But after all, it was not in a completely enclosed space. Yue Qianling always had a sense of shame and indignation of being exposed in broad daylight, so the sensory cells in her body became doubly sensitive, and she would sink to despair even if she looked at him for one more moment.
This physiological reaction happened to greatly stimulate Gu Xun.
He spent an entire night proving to Yue Qianling with his own actions that he was not lying. As a 22-year-old man, the consequence of tasting the sweetness of life was endless greed.
He could also resort to any means, even using foul language, to trick Yue Qianling into unlocking more locations.
By the time they moved from the bed to the sofa, Yue Qianling had completely lost her resistance. But when she was carried to the sink, she couldn't help but scream, but it was of no avail; the arrow had to be shot.
When it was getting late and the dew was heavier, Yue Qianling lay on the bed, her long hair sticking to her smooth back, barely covering up the marks that could not be seen directly.
That night she switched seamlessly between feelings of shame and ecstasy, exhausting all her strength.
But before she lost consciousness, she was still thinking about how such outrageous things could happen in the world. Men can really say anything and do anything to satisfy their desires.
He doesn't care about his face anymore.
Because he had consumed too much physical energy, Yue Qianling naturally did not see the morning sun the next day.
When she opened her eyes, it was, as expected, the peak tourist season.
There were wolves in front and tigers behind. She pondered for a few seconds on the bed and decided to give up and stay in the hotel.
Although it consumes physical energy, at least you don't have to change clothes and put on makeup.
But she didn't expect that Gu Xun could be so outrageous that on the morning of his departure, he looked at the remaining small umbrella with an expression of regret.
"It's a waste to throw it away, and it's troublesome to bring it back. It's better to use it up before leaving."
Yue Qianling: “……?”
How come this thing is worth a thousand gold or weighs a thousand pounds? !
For the first time in her life, Yue Qianling felt that vacation was more tiring than work.
It was also the first time that I couldn’t wait to go back to work.
Each workstation is so serious and solemn.
-
The next morning, when Huang Jie said hello to Yue Qianling with a bright face and asked her how her vacation was, Yue Qianling could only give her a sad expression.
Huang Jie thought she was just overwhelmed by the huge crowds, and proudly said that she had a very pleasant seven-day trip on her mobile phone and iPad.
Yue Qianling smiled bitterly and didn't feel like explaining anything.
Fortunately, after entering the working state, Gu Xun restrained himself a lot.
She slept at Gu Xun's house almost every night these days, but neither of them was free, so compared to the holidays, his behavior was basically personal.
After early October, the green plants on the roadside turned half yellow almost overnight.
This is one of the two most comfortable seasons of the year. Although there are still girls who insist on showing their legs on the road, Yue Qianling put on her sweater jacket early and curled up in her chair every day. She seemed lazy, but she successfully completed Sigrid's final post-production adjustments.
When she submitted the drawing to the main program, she looked at today's date.
It’s hard to believe that it took me more than three months to complete this original painting.
Although Sigrid has certain special features, it took nearly a month to finalize the sketch stage in the early stages. But apart from that, the other models of the Ninth Division also have almost one or two cycles.
Compared with Yue Qianling's previous efficiency of producing one original painting a week, although it was much more tiring, she could not deny that her self-satisfaction had increased more than a hundred times.
When he was reporting to Wei Han, his satisfaction was beyond words, but Yue Qianling seemed a little listless.
"What's wrong?"
Wei Han noticed that something was wrong with her and asked in a deep voice, "What else is wrong?"
Yue Qianling came back to his senses and shook his head quickly.
"No problem."
I just feel a little reluctant.
"Okay, let's have dinner together tonight." Wei Han said, "I'll treat you, Su Zheng will pay, just as a thank you for your help during this period of time."
"good."
Yue Qianling slowly returned to the mobile game division, turned on her computer, and stared at the screen in a daze. She was in a strange trance and did not notice that someone was secretly looking at her.
Until Huang Jie's voice sounded beside him.
"She is Yue Qianling, also from our team. She has been helping out in the Ninth Division recently so she hasn't been around much."
Yue Qianling looked over and found that the person looking at her was a strange girl.
Without Huang Jie introducing them to her specifically, she could guess that they should be new recruits from the recent autumn recruitment.
Due to the confidentiality of the project, Yue Qianling has rarely appeared in the mobile game department during this period, so it is understandable that she is not familiar with these newcomers.
In addition, Yue Qianling found that the familiar faces were much less common.
During the golden season of September and October, major companies are recruiting one after another, and naturally some people are looking for opportunities to change jobs.
For example, the girl who just looked at her was sitting in the seat of a colleague who had just resigned last month. Although Yue Qianling knew that the two colleagues had changed jobs, she knew that this was normal and no big deal. But when Yue Qianling really saw the newcomers replacing the old ones, he couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
She had never felt a sense of belonging to this project team, and now this feeling would only become stronger.
At this time, Yin Qin's old habit came back. She slammed the table to attract everyone's attention, and then said, "Don't leave after get off work today. Let's have a meal together. The new colleague has been here for a week or two, and we haven't had a meal together yet."
Naturally, all the newlyweds agreed, and Huang Jie always liked the hustle and bustle, so she naturally did not refuse.
Yin Qin then turned her attention to Yue Qianling.
"I'm not going." Yue Qianling said, "I have something to do tonight."
"What's the matter? Aren't you done with your work?" Yin Qin said persistently, "The new colleague just took the initiative to get to know you. You are also a senior, you can't be so disrespectful, right?"
Sure enough, several new colleagues nearby looked over secretly, and Yue Qianling had to give an explanation.
"Wei Han has arranged a dinner party tonight."
Yin Qin's expression froze for a moment, then she sat down with a smile, fiddling with her computer while saying, "Okay, then you should go over there. After all, Wei Han is the chief designer of the Ninth Division, and he is different from us."
Yue Qianling and Huang Jie looked at each other, both understood what was going on, and were too lazy to say anything to her.
She collected her thoughts, moved the mouse, and prepared to organize her recent drawings.
In this quiet moment, she heard Yin Qin mutter to herself, "You really think you are a member of the Ninth Business Unit."
Yue Qianling was already in a low mood today, and after being provoked by Yin Qin, she didn't even have the mood to pretend to be nice.
She frowned and said in a deep voice: "Are you——"
But before she had said half of this, someone knocked on her desk, neither lightly nor heavily.
Yue Qianling turned around and saw the lead artist of their project team standing behind her.
"Come to my office."
He left with a serious look on his face after saying this. It didn't sound like anything good was going to happen.
After spending two seconds making sure that he hadn't done anything wrong recently, Yue Qianling stood up and followed.
HC Interactive Entertainment's offices have always used glass doors and windows, so people outside can see clearly what the people inside are doing.
Similarly, when Yue Qianling sat down in the chief artist's office, she knew that Yin Qin and the others were looking over here.
The main beauty's expression was not much better at the moment. She sat in her chair and looked at Yue Qianling several times, as if she wanted to say something but couldn't. It seemed as if she couldn't find the words for a long time, which made Yue Qianling nervous.
"Brother Hu, just tell me what you want to say."
The beauty curled her lips, but finally spoke.
"That's right. As you know, the company has recently hired a lot of new people. In this case, we will make some adjustments to the personnel."
The so-called optimization is just a beautified term. In general, it means "eliminating the inferior", that is, in order to make the most efficient use of resources, the company will dismiss some people with inferior abilities.
So when Yue Qianling heard this, he was completely dumbfounded.
Could it be that the company is going to fire her? !
Is this impossible? !
She suddenly opened her eyes wide and waited nervously for the Lord's next words.
"We have also recruited a lot of new people into our project team. They are all very capable and can support the daily work of our project team, so—"
Yue Qianling: “!”
It's over.
As luck would have it, the boss still remembered what she had done and was now ready to kick her out.
"The Ninth Division wants to transfer you there."
"Oh, I get it, but - wait a minute?" Yue Qianling's eyes suddenly widened, "What did you say?"
The main beauty rubbed her face and repeated it reluctantly.
"I'm just asking if you want to go to the Ninth Division."
Yue Qianling: “…”
If she had money, she would definitely buy a beauty who could finish her words in one go.
At the moment, she had no money, so she just closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
After a moment, he said calmly, "Okay."
Of course! ! ! !
The lead artist probably didn't notice her inner excitement and tried to persuade her to stay again: "It's not mandatory, you can think about it. You have seen their workload during this period. Although the salary will be higher, it's really much more tiring, and basically you don't have your own life."
Yue Qianling nodded: "Okay, I'll think about it."
Zhu Mei was overjoyed to see that she was persuaded.
After all, this was the reason why he was in a bad mood just now. When the Ninth Business Unit borrowed Yue Qianling, he had a bad feeling, but the boss agreed, so he couldn't say anything.
Now we are finally looking forward to Yue Qianling's return, but instead they come to snatch her away.
Isn't this a robber?
Unfortunately, no matter what they do, they have the boss's support, so he can't say anything and can only put his hopes on Yue Qianling himself.
"Okay, then go back and think about it, and tell me what you think."
Yue Qianling raised her head: "No need, I've already thought about it."
The main beauty leaned forward unconsciously, her eyes full of anticipation.
"and you……"
Yue Qianling: "Of course I'll go!"
The main beauty: “…”
-
The moment she came out of the office, Yue Qianling felt that she had grown up.
——She can now hide her emotions.
So when she returned to her workstation, no one could tell whether it was a good thing or a bad thing for the chief artist to hire her.
"What's going on?" Huang Jie leaned over and asked, "Why did Brother Hu look for you?"
Yue Qianling put her index finger in front of her mouth and whispered, "I'll tell you when it's confirmed."
"What are you talking about? You're so mysterious." Huang Jie gave her a teasing look. "Are they going to give you a promotion?"
When she said this, Yin Qin shrugged her shoulders and pricked up her ears to listen to Yue Qianling's answer.
“It’s not a promotion.”
Yue Qianling smiled and glanced at her phone. Huang Jie understood and immediately opened WeChat.
After a few seconds, Huang Jie widened her eyes and couldn't help but exclaim.
“Is this true?!”
"It's not decided yet."
At this point, she suddenly remembered a small task she had taken with her, and looked up at Yin Qin and said, "Oh, by the way, the chief artist wants you to go to his office."
Yin Qin said okay lightly, then took out a small mirror, fixed her hair, and then stood up and walked towards the office.
Yue Qianling's mood had not yet calmed down, and she wanted to share this joy with Gu Xun immediately.
But after the message was sent for a while, he didn't reply and I didn't know what he was doing.
It was almost lunchtime, and Yue Qianling became increasingly restless and decided to go up and tell him the good news in person.
When they reached the top floor, Yue Qianling ran into Yi Hong as soon as she arrived at the development department.
"Are you looking for Gu Xun? He's not here. He just went to answer the phone. He might be outside in the corridor."
Yue Qianling nodded, turned and walked towards the empty corridor, and sure enough, she saw a person standing at the end answering the phone.
However, the figure from behind was obviously not Gu Xun, but Su Zheng.
Yue Qianling vaguely heard him saying something like "hospital" and "dad", so she planned to leave quietly.
However, before she could turn around, her eyes met Su Zheng, who had just hung up the phone and turned around.
During this period, Su Zheng has been leading a team to collect audio across the country, and the number of times he appeared in the company can be counted on one hand. And every time I came back, I had to rush to a meeting and then rush to another city with the sound team the next day.
At first glance, Yue Qianling discovered that he seemed to have lost a lot of weight and his face looked very haggard.
Yue Qianling was sometimes sensitive to the atmosphere. For example, at this moment, she could feel that Su Zheng was in an extremely low pressure, so she didn't know how to say hello for a moment.
Su Zheng was also in a bad state. He stared at Yue Qianling blankly for a long while before he smiled and said, "Didn't you go to eat?"
Su Zheng was usually a very gentle person, but his smile at this moment was obviously a little forced. Yue Qianling naturally suppressed her previous joy and said, "I'll be there right away."
"By the way, did Wei Han tell you?"
Su Zheng followed up on her words, "Would you like to come to the Ninth Division?"
He took the initiative to mention this matter, and Yue Qianling's smile reappeared on the corners of his mouth, "Well, of course I'll come."
"I knew you wouldn't refuse. Wei Han was worried that you wouldn't want to."
At this time, Su Zheng's phone rang again. He frowned slightly when he looked down. Yue Qianling immediately said, "Then I won't bother you. Go ahead and get busy."
After leaving, Yue Qianling still couldn't find where Gu Xun was, and the line was busy when she called him.
She sighed, turned around and went downstairs to have lunch with Huang Jie.
"You're not with Gu Xun?"
Huang Jie asked.
"I can't find him. I don't know where he went."
Yue Qianling shook her head and said, "He didn't even reply to my messages. Maybe he's cheating on me."
Huang Jie replied calmly: "It may also be that he came out."
Yue Qianling: "Then I don't accept this reason. I can't lose to a man."
“…”
"By the way, do you know why the chief artist wanted to see Yin Qin today?" Huang Jie asked after getting out of the elevator and seeing no one around. "She stayed in there for a long time before coming out, and she didn't say what it was about. I'm so curious. It's impossible that she can also go to the Ninth Business Unit, right? If so, I'll make a scene."
"I don't know. The hostess didn't tell me. She just asked me to help call someone."
As soon as Yue Qianling finished speaking, her phone vibrated several times.
She thought it was Gu Xun who sent her a message, so she quickly opened it and saw that it turned out to be Su Zheng.
[Su Zheng]: By the way, I’ll send you some information.
[Su Zheng]: In addition to some public information about our project, there are also a lot of ideas that I have collected and sorted out myself, which may be of some help to you.
Yue Qianling had no reason to be pretentious in this situation, so she immediately sent Su Zheng ten kowtow emojis.
After all, it is easy to collect information about a project, but it is rare to collect the planner's own ideas.
After lunch, Su Zheng directly handed her a hard drive, saying that the data had been copied and the hard drive could be given to her directly.
Yue Qianling opened it and was stunned.
It’s actually 3G? !
The content is so detailed that it covers the design ideas of each small level and the character biography of each small boss.
For some reason, when seeing these things, Yue Qianling always felt as if Su Zheng was making arrangements for his final affairs.
-
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Gu Xun finally called Yue Qianling back.
"Don't talk yet. I want to ask you a question." Yue Qianling stood in the tea room and said with a fake smile, "What's my name?"
Gu Xun was silent for a while, and did not respond to Yue Qianling's question. Instead, he said solemnly, "Something happened, and I didn't have time to check my phone."
Hearing his serious tone, Yue Qianling immediately gave up the joking intention.
"What is it? Auntie?"
"It's about work. I'll tell you when I get home tonight."
Gu Xun sighed, "I only have a few minutes free now, I'll hang up first."
"good."
Since Gu Xun said it was a work matter, Yue Qianling didn't worry too much about it. It was nothing more than some problems encountered in the engine development, which was a common problem for them.
Besides, Yue Qianling felt that she couldn't help much even if she was concerned about him, so she simply didn't bother him.
The only slight worry in my heart was that I expected Gu Xun to be very busy again.
The remaining afternoon time passed in a flash. Yue Qianling had already prepared for Gu Xun to come home very late today, so she sent him a short message.
[Glutinous Rice Dough Sticks]: I'm going to have a meal with Wei Han and the others, and then I'm going home alone.
【School Prince】:?
[School Prince]: Why don’t you take me with you to eat?
[Glutinous Rice Dough Sticks]: Didn’t you say you had something to do?
[School Prince]: Some things cannot be finished in one night.
【School Prince】: See you at the elevator entrance.
Yue Qianling immediately laughed and walked towards the elevator with her bag.
When the second time came, Gu Xun was indeed standing inside, accompanied by Wei Han and Su Zheng.
However, Yue Qianling found that this elevator seemed to be shrouded in a thick cloud, and everyone seemed to be in a bad mood.
So after she went in, she didn't say anything. She just stood beside Gu Xun silently, observing everyone's expressions.
When they arrived at the restaurant, everyone sat down in silence, except Gu Xun who handed the menu to Yue Qianling and asked her to order.
But she was in such a state of panic that she had no mood to order anything. After holding it in for a while, she couldn't help but ask directly, "Is there anything you need?"
Su Zheng and Wei Han looked at each other, and then Wei Han touched Su Zheng's shoulder: "Tell them something, they will know it sooner or later."
"Um."
Su Zheng lowered his eyes and was silent for a while before he said, "I'm ready to resign."
As soon as the words fell, the atmosphere at the scene froze.
Yue Qianling stared at Su Zheng in a daze, not coming to her senses for a long time, and even suspected that she had heard it wrong.
So she turned to look at Gu Xun and saw that he was also looking at Su Zheng in surprise.
But his eyes were a little heavier than Yue Qianling's.
Seeing this, Su Zheng smiled and said, "What are you looking at? Nowadays, few people stay in one job for their whole life. Isn't it normal to quit a job?"
That being said, this principle does not apply to Su Zheng.
Not to mention the previous collaboration, just from the contents of the hard drive that Yue Qianling received today, she could tell how much effort Su Zheng had put into this project.
How could such a person give up halfway?
Yue Qianling: "Why? Isn't the actual machine operation video coming out soon? Why are you leaving now?"
"It's actually because of family matters."
Su Zheng buried his head and sighed, "My father was in his forties when he gave birth to me, and I am already in my sixties this year. I can count the number of times I have returned home for this project on my fingers. The last time I went home was during the Spring Festival last year."
Su Zheng paused for a moment, his tone heavier than before.
"My dad broke his leg at the beginning of the month, but they didn't tell me because they didn't want to distract me. I only found out about it a few days ago."
"During the most difficult days for him, I knew nothing about it and didn't even call him."
"If my aunt hadn't let it slip, I might not have known about it until my dad was discharged from the hospital."
"Fortunately, his injury this time was not fatal, but..." He suddenly rubbed his face before he was able to continue, "I can't imagine what would have happened if he had fallen on his head instead of his leg. Would I not even be able to see him for the last time?"
Having said this, there is no need to explain what follows, as everyone here understands.
The greatest regret in life is that one’s parents are no longer around to support him.
When Su Zheng realized that his elderly parents needed company and care, he was far away from home and even meeting them was a luxury.
So after tossing and turning for several sleepless nights, he decided to give up his dream and return to his hometown to fulfill his responsibilities as a child.
No one can blame Su Zheng for whether his choice is correct or not. There is no standard answer to such a thing.
Yue Qianling just felt it was a pity that several years of hard work had gone to waste.
Moreover, Su Zheng had signed a non-compete agreement. Once he left, he would not be able to pick up his dream again.
After a long silence at the table, Su Zheng took the initiative to break the atmosphere.
"Don't be like this, I just chose another life, a more relaxed one. Everything has its pros and cons."
Yue Qianling lowered his head sullenly, not knowing what to say.
At this moment, she saw Gu Xun looking at Su Zheng solemnly, almost squeezing out a few words from his throat.
"Do you really have to go?"
Yue Qianling had never seen Gu Xun like this before.
In Yue Qianling's opinion, Gu Xun is not an indecisive person.
Su Zheng's position was not critical to him, and there was more than one planner in the Ninth Business Unit.
Moreover, he once treated this person as a love rival. Even if they sympathized with each other, his personality determined that he would not make such an attempt to keep her.
Yue Qianling turned her head and looked at Gu Xun quietly, reaching her hand under the table and holding his palm.
Those hands, which were usually warm, were a little cold at this moment.
After a long time, Su Zheng nodded.
-
After that, no matter how hard Su Zheng tried to liven up the atmosphere, no one could enjoy the meal.
As night fell, they went their separate ways in the parking lot.
After Wei Han and Su Zheng got into their respective cars, Yue Qianling handed the Coke in her hand to Gu Xun's mouth.
"Drink a sip of fat house happy water?"
Gu Xun lowered his head and took a sip from the straw she had used.
"So the work you were talking about today was Su Zheng?"
"no."
Gu Xun swallowed the icy cold Coke, but his tone was still heavy, "I just found out that he decided to resign."
Yue Qianling asked: "What is that?"
Gu Xun suddenly stopped and looked down at Yue Qianling, as if he was carrying a heavy burden.
He whispered three names.
The next sentence was like a hammer: "They changed jobs."
With a "bang", the Coke in Yue Qianling's hand fell to the ground.
