Dinner was held in a pleasant and warm atmosphere, and thanks to Dong Xiaolu's VIP card, the five of them also got a free private room.
Before dinner, Han Ming called home to share the good news: his loan had been successfully extended for two years, with half of the payment due each year.
When this good news reached their home, Han Baili, the father, and Chen Fang, the mother, were quite excited. Han Baili even happily said that he would call Liang Jianxing to tell him the good news.
After hanging up the phone, Han Ming sent a text message to Liang Jianxing. Now that Uncle Liang was one of his own, he had to tell him the news as soon as possible.
Furthermore, we should also inquire whether the materials for the workshop renovation are ready.
A short while later, Liang Jianxing sent a text message informing Han Ming that everything was ready. Han Ming then decided to go back to his room after dinner and start the remote control to have the printer begin refurbishing the workshop.
Of the five people present, only Liu Debao seemed a little listless; the others were quite happy.
Zhao Lihua was overjoyed to have accomplished such a significant task.
Han Ming and Dong Xiaolu are happy as long as they are together.
As for Zhuang Yan, that kid was happy because he saw Han Ming and his mother happy.
Han Ming ordered some beer to celebrate, and Zhao Lihua and Dong Xiaolu didn't object, but the two ladies only needed to drink juice.
After a few drinks, the three men warmed up to each other. Liu Debao temporarily forgot his troubles about not getting the money and adopted a "live for the moment" attitude.
Needless to say, Zhuang Yan had plenty of opportunities to drink in the army, and now that he's retired, he can drink however he wants, and nobody cares.
After a period of feasting and drinking, Han Ming took the opportunity to reveal his idea of starting a game company.
Liu Debao was somewhat expectant upon hearing this, thinking that Han Ming wouldn't have told him this for no reason.
Sure enough, Han Ming then told him that he wanted to visit his team, and the time was set for tomorrow, to see if it was convenient for Liu Debao.
Liu Debao was desperate, so he readily agreed upon hearing this, knowing that Han Ming also wanted to see the strength of his team before making a decision.
Liu Debao was quite confident in the capabilities of his team, and besides, Han Ming was his good friend from four years of university, so he believed Han Ming wouldn't lie to him.
So he readily agreed, and they arranged for Liu Debao to come to the hotel at 9 a.m. the next day to take Han Ming over for a visit.
Now that Liu Debao had put his worries aside, the atmosphere at the table became even more lively, and they drank until everyone was slightly drunk before finally stopping.
Zhuang Yan and Han Ming agreed that he would go with Han Ming to visit that game design team tomorrow, and Han Ming agreed, saying it wouldn't hurt to bring him along.
Seeing that Han Ming had agreed, Zhuang Yan and his mother, Zhao Lihua, went upstairs first.
Han Ming and Dong Xiaolu put Liu Debao in a taxi. After watching Liu Debao leave, Han Ming planned to take advantage of his drunkenness to act like a hooligan again.
However, Dong Xiaolu glared at Han Ming and then turned her head to look at the minivan in the parking lot not far away.
Han Ming recognized the car as the one Dong Xiaolu had called earlier that day.
I was quite puzzled. This car had been providing service all afternoon and it was still there so late at night. Could it be that my girlfriend hadn't settled the bill yet?
Dong Xiaolu insisted that she wanted to go with Han Ming and the others to see Liu Debao's design team tomorrow.
Han Ming was exasperated. He said, "Miss, don't you have to go to work? You're skipping work every other day. Do you even want to stay in this job? Aren't you afraid of getting fired?"
Dong Xiaolu didn't care and said that the company leaders were her relatives and it was fine. Han Ming had no choice but to say that he and Zhuang Yan would go out together tomorrow.
Zhao Lihua is feeling bored staying in the hotel alone. If Dong Xiaolu really wants to come, she can come over and keep Aunt Zhao company this morning.
Dong Xiaolu was both angry and helpless. She pouted and ignored Han Ming. Han Ming said some nice things and promised to play with her when he came back the next morning, which finally made his girlfriend smile.
Dong Xiaolu said she would come to the hotel to keep Zhao Lihua company the next morning and have lunch together. Han Ming had no objection. Dong Xiaolu saw that it was getting late and said goodbye to go home.
Before leaving, she stood in front of Han Ming for a while, thought for a moment, and then left a kiss on her boyfriend's cheek.
Han Ming watched his girlfriend get into the car and leave, then slowly walked back to the hotel and went upstairs to his room.
The next day, Liu Debao arrived at the hotel very early and sat in the lobby downstairs waiting for Han Ming.
When Han Ming and the others went downstairs for breakfast, they saw Comrade Da Bao sitting on the sofa, looking bored.
Han Ming complained that he had arrived early and hadn't called him, but Comrade Liu Debao said it wouldn't be good to disturb the leader and his wife's sleep.
Hey, Han Ming thought, this guy is even joking with me, he seems to be in a pretty good mood.
Little did he know that Liu Debao had spent the entire night thinking about it after returning home, and felt that meeting Han Ming had given him some hope for the future, which had brought some comfort to his depressed heart.
So I came to the hotel early this morning to wait for Han Ming. This is a golden opportunity, and it won't come again.
After having breakfast with Zhuang Yan, Han Ming told Zhao Lihua that Dong Xiaolu would come over to keep her company this morning so she wouldn't be bored alone in the hotel.
Zhao Lihua repeatedly said no need, telling Dong Xiaolu to go about her business and that she would just stay in her room and watch TV.
Han Ming disagreed and called his girlfriend to ask when she would arrive.
Upon hearing Dong Xiaolu say that they were already on their way and would arrive at the hotel in 10 minutes, Han Ming didn't rush to leave and sat down in the lobby to chat for a while.
Liu Debao quickly introduced his team, which consisted of about ten people.
Programmers, website architects, game concept artists, story designers, scene designers, and so on, even voice actors in games.
