A game of dreams

Seven years later.

"It's just downstairs, Guangyuan Road is blocked for a while, don't wait for me, eat first."

After hanging up the phone, Yuan Chong instructed the taxi driver to turn around and enter the community. From a distance, he saw Yuan Chun waiting downstairs with his child.

The little girl saw him poking his head out of the car, so she rushed over and threw herself into her arms: "Uncle!"

Yuan Chong hugged his arms full: "Oh, whose cute little baby is this?"

The little girl let out a giggle, and her two braids turned up towards the sky.Yuan Chong kissed her on the cheek, playing with her hands like he did when he was a child.

"Okay, An'an, come down, your uncle is so tired after sitting on the plane for more than ten hours, what can I do if I have to hug you, a little chubby." Yuan Chun took his daughter from his brother's arms.

Lin Anan's self-esteem was hit: "I'm not fat!"

Yuan Chong took her by the hand: "Don't listen to your mother, she's cute even if she's fat, and uncle likes it too if she's fat."

Meals had been prepared at home, and Yuan Chun's husband was there. It was a rare reunion for the four of them, and they even opened a bottle of self-brewed rice wine.

Yuan Chong went to the kitchen to wash his hands, and saw two essay awards for the cram school pasted on the outer wall. He remembered the matter of his niece going to school: "Is the elementary school thing settled? It's already a year late, it can't be later gone."

Yuan Chun said happily: "It's in Experimental Primary School, it's fixed, and I can go to school when school starts in September."

Yuan Chong felt relieved: "Didn't it mean that there is no quota? How can I go again?"

Yuan Chun tidied up the leftovers in the kitchen behind his back: "An'an is lucky, a child is not coming, and the admissions director said let An' make up first. We just got the quota. It's really not easy. It's not easy to get a public school these days. The quota is too difficult."

Yuan Chong didn't know much about the situation after he was away in China for a long time, and he also knew the problem of children's difficulty in going to school.An An's situation is even more special. She was delayed from going to school for a year because of a heart operation. She was supposed to go to elementary school at the age of six, but at the age of seven, she has not yet decided on a school.Private schools are expensive, how can a family like Yuan Chun afford them, and public places are too difficult to get.Not all schools are willing to accept An An, fearing that if she is too weak, the school will be held responsible.Because of going to school, Yuan Chun and his wife almost turned gray with worry.

An An was born prematurely and was born with congenital deficiencies and weak heart function. The doctor said that it is best to have a heart replacement, otherwise she would not live long.But it's not so easy to replace a heart. Whether or not a donor can be found depends on good luck.Yuan Chun cried all his tears and went to the temple to worship the Bodhisattva without landing for a month. Finally, he raised the child until he was four years old. An An still couldn't hold on, and passed out in the kindergarten one day.

Yuan Chun was completely at a loss, thinking that his relationship with this child was about to end. Unexpectedly, after staying in the intensive care unit for three days, the hospital suddenly came with good news that a family member of the deceased was willing to donate a heart.The operation went very smoothly, and later a bone marrow transplant was performed. An An took a year of sick leave and recuperated. Even the doctor said that the child is very lucky, and God is also very kind.

"Do you still want to pay the sponsorship fee? Tell me if you are short of money." Yuan Chong worried that this "replacement" is also conditional.

Yuan Chun was very embarrassed: "Now I don't dare to collect sponsorship fees, the management is strict."

An An's two surgery fees were all paid by Yuan Chong, which was a lot of money, and Yuan Chun dared not ask his brother for money anymore.

After dinner, my niece took Yuan Chong to watch cartoons with her.After Yuan Chong went abroad, he only came back to visit relatives every year, and the number of times was very small, but this child was very close to Yuan Chong, even more than his affection for his father.

"Uncle, do you want to go back to England?" the little girl asked while gnawing on a melon.

Yuan Chong held her in his arms: "Do you want uncle to go back?"

An An shook her head.Yuan Chong touched her little head: "Then I won't go back, okay?"

An An was very happy: "Uncle, Yuanyuan got full marks in the exam, and her mother bought her a Switch, and she can still play "Kirby the Star"."

Yuan Chong liked her cleverness. Seeing Yuan Chun in the kitchen, he lowered his voice, "No problem. Uncle will buy it for you. We won't tell mom, huh?" Yuan Chun doesn't like children playing games, and he is strict with his precious daughter.

But An An and his friends are no better than their elders. They grew up playing with electronic products, and game consoles are indispensable.Every time Yuan Chong came back from abroad, he would bring her some "advanced toys". At a young age, Lin An'an was already a "little rich woman" with countless expensive game consoles, which made her "extremely good-looking" in front of her friends.

Yuan Chong still had to go to the company to go through reporting procedures, and he would go back to the office directly in the afternoon.

Not long after the order to be transferred from the UK was issued, the new office prepared for him in China had not even had time to write the house number.The little assistant was afraid that he would be unhappy, so he flattered him that his titles were too long and too many. When the administrative department came to ask them, they didn't know which one to use.

Yuan Chong laughed: "Just write an appointment and it's over. There are so many things."

"It's finally here? We're all waiting for you, Analyst Yuan." The partner interjected with a smile.

Yuan Chong turned his head and shook hands with him: "Ji Niao loves the old forest, and pond fish misses the old abyss. It's better to go home."

The partner gave a hug: "Welcome back."

The office was in a mess, so the two simply went to the coffee corner downstairs to chat alone.The partner met in the UK: "I will arrange an apartment for you. I have already said hello to them. If there is any inconvenience, please tell me. I am really happy that you can come. It is good to say it." Advise that side to let you come here, don't spend two years patting your ass and leaving for me."

Yuan Chong was very grateful: "I also want to come back, I'm still not used to staying there."

The partner asked: "Li En really doesn't plan to come back with you?"

We were all friends, and Yuan Chong didn't hide it: "He's used to it. Besides, he already has a land of his own. It's so boring to open up wasteland again when he comes back."

"That you……"

"separated."

The partner regretted: "Li En is really kind to you. I have been friends with him for so many years, and I can't understand who he is. He looks good, has a successful career, and cares for his family and is caring. Back then, you two were not in the UK. I feel weird getting married."

Yuan Chong was also ashamed: "I was the one who delayed him. He really can't find any faults. It's because I'm not good enough."

He and Fu Lien tried their best, but the result was not satisfactory, even Yuan Chong himself didn't expect it.Fu Lien is the perfect partner, he is like a ruler with precise scale, no matter in life or career, there is no difference.To live with such a person is to do math problems all the time, Yuan Chong can't measure every aspect of himself, he is broken, he is used to living in pieces all over the place.

In the end, even Fu Lien had to admit that the two of them were not suitable.The breakup was peaceful, and neither of the two respectable adults was a problem for the other.Yuan Chong chose to return to China, while Fu Lien stayed on the other side of the ocean.

"Forget it, there are so many sayings about fate." The partner sighed.

A little boy from behind suddenly came over: "Excuse me, are you... Teacher Yuan Chong Yuan?"

Yuan Chong didn't know he was so famous: "I am."

The boy was so excited that he couldn't speak clearly: "I... like you very much. I have read every report of yours. I just wanted to come to practice when I heard that you are here. I didn't expect to see you, can... can you Will you sign it for me?"

Yuan Chong and his partner exchanged a smiling look, took the pen and signed his name on the little boy's notepad.

"Are you doing an internship here? Which department?" Yuan Chong asked with great interest.

The little boy showed him his work card: "My name is Cai Sijia from the consulting department."

Yuan Chong tilted his head and smiled at him: "You call me Teacher Yuan, may I treat you to a cup of coffee?"

The little boy blushed when he saw it.Yuan Chong packed a cup of coffee for the child, and handed him his business card.

The partner knew that he had something wrong in his heart: "Tsk tsk, are you unethical for spoiling children?"

Yuan Chong looked at the back of the little boy leaving: "People like me, why am I wicked?"

Their business is fun, and the partners are not surprised, and have no intention of stopping it.He changed the subject: "It just so happened that Lao He married his daughter from the Youzu family on weekends, so you can come with me. They are all people in the circle. Take this opportunity to get acquainted. Now that you have returned home with peace of mind, you should also understand the domestic market. In the future Everyone is their own."

The wedding ceremony was held on the open-air flower stage of the Four Seasons Hotel. The executives of the game company were rich, and the grandeur of marrying their daughter was also grand. The venue was decorated like a high-end fashion show, and popular stars were invited to sing.A father's speech is like giving a performance report at the company's annual meeting. The daughter and son-in-law's resumes from high school to employment can't wait to memorize it. Instead, the groom's official said a few honest and nasty words, which made the bride teary. While complaining in a resentful tone that Hua Zhuang would cry, he took the initiative to kiss her husband.

Yuan Chong didn't dress too formally today, he wore a leather jacket, showing a heretical and aggressive handsomeness.He was still young at first, and he was a well-known overseas returnee. Many people in the circle knew him but had never seen this face. His sense of mystery made him even more popular. A box of business cards was almost not enough. issued.

The partner took him to greet the bride's father. Youzu is also considered a big company, and they will have to deal with it in the future.

"Come here? Come, come, let's talk together. This is..." The executive surnamed He was very enthusiastic.

The partner introduced: "This is Yuan Chong. He was transferred from the "Economist" think tank in London. He is the chief market analyst in the Greater China region of the institution, specializing in the game market. This guy is now a millionaire, and he is worth a lot. It’s terrible, I’ll write a good report for you Youzu tomorrow, and you won’t have to worry about financing. Ah Chong, this is Mr. He, the vice president of Youzu Network.”

The executive handed over his business card: "Okay, young and promising."

Yuan Chong changed his business card, but his eyes fell on a familiar face next to him.

Zhao Shouyu didn't seem to have changed much, and his habit of tapping the wall with his index finger while holding the wine glass was still exactly the same as before.

"Let me introduce you," the executive thought they didn't know each other: "This is Mr. Zhao, who also makes games. You may have heard of his company abroad, and its performance abroad is very good. The latest work is called... "

"The Tower of Stars, I know." Yuan Chong said with a sip of his wine, smiling.
