Tears

"You mean, Gu Jiang has a part in this game?" Lu Aizhen's hands stopped unconsciously.

"I'm not interested," Zhao Kaikai curled his lips, "but Mr. Liu should mean that."

"After all, there is no difficulty in making games that develop, it mainly depends on whether the characters are likable or not. The reason why the game of Hanyou is so popular is that all the characters in it are based on the aesthetics of staying at home. You don't know the game in those years On the forum, almost every character has a support group, a bunch of dead nerds around where to fight, krypton gold, and hit the rankings. They are all lunatics."

Zhao Kaikai only likes real people, so he can't understand why he has a lot of beauties in real life and wants to have a romantic relationship with human characters in the game.In his words, isn't this stupid.

Fortunately, he didn't say this sentence. If he did, he would definitely get Lu Shao's comment of "why not eat minced meat".He didn't even think about whether those beauties he mentioned would look at those nerds in reality.

Lu Aizhen probably understood what Zhao Kaikai meant, and he put on his glasses again, "Do you suspect that Gu Jiang helped Hanyou do the character design for that game?"

"Many people are so skeptical," Zhao Kaikai said, "However, Gu Jiang has not joined Hanyou, and Gu Jiang is not in the production list of the game. No one can prove whether it is him. Although Mr. Liu is not reconciled, Gu Jiang Jiang did not violate the rules of competing products, so there is nothing he can do about it. Therefore, you can see that Hanyou and Linglong are not actually hostile. Their development directions and target customers are different, but Mr. Liu still regards them as a thorn in his side. The reason."

"However," Zhao Kaikai's face changed slightly, "this game has helped Hanyou make a lot of money. If Gu Jiang made it, he would give up his copyright if he gave up his signature, and he would not get a penny. If this is the case, he It’s really enough to remember the past.”

"What do you mean?" Lu Aizhen's mouth did not know when it was pursed into a line, which was a sign of his displeasure, but Zhao Kaikai didn't notice it, because he was opening the folder and flipping through it.

"He and Shangxian are college classmates," Zhao Kaikai stopped on a certain page, "Gu Jiang was a freshman in the Department of Art, and Shangxian was in the Department of Computer Science. Knowing why, I moved to Shangxian's dormitory."

"When Gu Jiang graduated, he unexpectedly went to Linglong, which surprised people. Especially his tutor, he was heartbroken. Gu Jiang's paintings have won many awards, and his tutor has placed a lot of hope in him. I heard that At that time, many people went to persuade Gu Jiang, but he insisted on going his own way, and he was in a hurry. Even now, there is no way out for art. Linglong is the leader in the game industry, and the salary they offer is what cultural unit can afford It came out. The words reached the ears of his tutor, who was so angry that the tutor announced on the spot that he would sever ties with him, and he never contacted him again."

"It seems that Shang Xian also interviewed Linglong when he graduated, but he didn't get in, so he had to go to another small game company. After working for four or five years, he dragged Wu Maoshu out to do it alone, which is Hanyou."

Zhao Kaikai closed the folder, "It started more than a year ago, and their situation was very bad. It is said that they couldn't even pay their wages. Hanyou was started by Shangxian and Wu Maoshu who mortgaged the house. That game is a desperate game. Thinking it turned out to be a success, Xianyu turned around. At that time, many people said that Gu Jiang must have not gone to Hanyou to avoid suspicion. After the three-year competition period, he will definitely go. Mr. Liu is waiting for him to go Who knows, not only didn’t he go, he didn’t even look for a job, he just got by by selling paintings and taking pictures for people. It’s a pity.”

"In the past two years, the situation of Hanyou has been a little bit bad, and the few games developed after that are not very good. At the beginning, there were still a group of diehard fans, but they were slowly lost. The project we voted for last time , I have also lost a lot. The prospect of the project I am following now is hard to say. I heard that apart from us, Shangxian has also found many other investment banks, and others are not even willing to give the roadshow opportunity. If we finally decide not to Vote, Hanyou may face another crisis.”

"From this point of view, the current situation seems to be quite similar to that of the past. I don't know who can be the savior of the Hanyou this time." Zhao Kaikai put the folder in front of Lu Aizhen, "If I didn't arrange the egret that day, Gu Jiang It was you who named it again, I really doubt it was a beauty trick arranged by Shangxian."

"However, even if they didn't arrange it on purpose, who can guarantee that after you fell in love with Gu Jiang, they didn't have other thoughts. Otherwise, why would they pretend not to know each other. You..." Zhao Kaikai paused, hesitant to speak In the end, he couldn't hold back, "Be careful with yourself."

"Am I a person who doesn't distinguish between public and private?" Lu Aizhen raised her eyebrows, seeming very dissatisfied with Zhao Kaikai, "It's you, knowing this and still agreeing to cooperate with him?"

"Of course you won't." After Zhao Kaikai finished what he wanted to say, he returned to his usual hippie smile. "You don't know, Shangxian spent a lot of money to hire a character designer this time. Besides, the road show doesn't cost money, we just need to go and see it when the time comes, why not agree."

Zhao Kaikai only noticed Lu Aizhen's expression at this time, he guessed that he must be in a bad mood now, and immediately prepared to run away with oil on the soles of his feet. "I suddenly remembered that there was still something I hadn't done, so I left first."

Lu Aizhen's eyes fell on the folder for a long time, but he didn't intend to open it.What Zhao Kaikai said basically allowed him to piece together an almost complete story.

He was really not in a good mood, he remembered Shangxian's attitude towards Gu Jiang when he first met Gu Jiang in Bailu.does it worth?He wanted to ask A-Jiang how much he had to like him in order to do this.

He has seen Gu Jiang's paintings. Although they are dilapidated, they still can't stop the freshness and agility inside.This painting can only be drawn by a person with great enthusiasm. He was attracted even if he didn't know much about art, so that later, he secretly went to the gallery where Gu Jiang consigned the paintings.

Gu Jiang is not a well-known painter, and the sales are not good. He visited all the galleries, and only found two paintings in one corner.The half-meter-square white picture frames are hung side by side on the wall, almost blending with the white wall.In the lower right corner of the picture frame, on a piece of white paper the size of two fingers, in the most common black font, "Author: Gu Jiang" is printed and the price is marked below it.

RMB8000.

Lu Aizhen remembered what Gu Jiang said, 'If anyone who can only sell one painting a month can be considered a painter, that is'.

Gu Jiang, do you know what you gave up?Lu Aizhen felt an indescribable depression. Shangxian started from scratch, now has a company, has a girlfriend, stands at thirty, and seems to have reached the pinnacle of life.As for Gu Jiang, he has no job, no future, only a stigma of homosexuality and promiscuity.

They seemed to be standing at two extremes. Maybe everyone would feel that Shang Xian had such a friend. He could imagine that when those people mentioned Shang Xian and Gu Jiang, they would definitely say that Shang Xian was affectionate and righteous, but Gu Jiang was not worth it. on the wall.

Lu Aizhen sneered for a while, but couldn't laugh immediately.He is not worth it for A-Jiang, but A-Jiang is willing and happy.His worthlessness is nothing to Ajaan.

He suddenly wanted to ask Ajiang, what is so good about Shangxian, what he has done for you, and it is worth your sacrifice of yourself like that.

"Where is it?" Lu Aizhen couldn't hold back, and dialed Gu Jiang's number, and Gu Jiang answered in seconds.

"At home." Gu Jiang was lying on the sofa, her knees were just stuck in front of the armrest, and her two white and thin legs had nowhere to rest, so she had to raise them up, her feet tangled together, hanging above her buttocks.

Lu Aizhen "What are you doing?"

Gu Jiang: "It's okay, I'm in a daze."

After saying this, the phone was hung up.Gu Jiang looked at the phone screen inexplicably until it turned off automatically.He waited for a while, but before receiving a new call, Gu Jiang pouted and tilted his head, and put the phone back on the coffee table.

"Amy, I'll go out for a while, maybe I won't come back, you should get off work when the time comes. Call me on the phone if you need anything."

Amy was checking Lu Aizhen's itinerary for next week. When she looked up, she only saw the afterimage of the corner of the suit.She stared at the closed door, and then looked back at Lu Aizhen's office. He came out in a hurry, the door was not closed tightly, and there was no one inside.If it weren't for this, she would have thought it was her hallucination just now.

Boss Lu leaving early?Amy finds it incredible that Mr. Lu has never left early since he took office.Is something wrong?Amy couldn't help picking up the phone receiver, and dialed Zhao Kaikai's internal line.

Lu Aizhen knocked on the door three times, and there were faint rustling sounds in the room, a little flustered.Lu Aizhen couldn't help imagining Gu Jiang looking for slippers, but she didn't realize that the corners of her mouth were slightly raised.

He put one hand in his trouser pocket and fiddled with the keys inside with his fingertips. He knew that there was one on it that could open the door.After the locksmith changed the lock that day, he left a spare key, but he didn't want to use it.He liked the feeling of waiting for Gu Jiang to open the door for him, as if Gu Jiang was waiting for him to come home.

Gu Jiang opened the door bouncingly, wearing only one slipper, probably couldn't find the other for a while.Seeing Lu Aizhen, he was a little surprised, but he didn't express anything superfluous, and just let him in sideways.

Lu Aizhen took out the slippers from under the sofa and kicked them to Gu Jiang.Gu Jiang went up and went to the kitchen to get him something to drink.

A pillow was placed in front of the armrest at one end of the sofa, and an ipad was placed on it. It seemed that Gu Jiang was lying on his stomach watching before he came.The screen was still on, Lu Aizhen leaned over, and the ipad displayed a PDF file on the full screen, which was a scanned copy of a certain book.Lu Aizhen picked it up to look at it, and swipe his finger lightly. He is not proficient in Chinese culture, but he can still see that it seems to be a restored album of Dunhuang murals.

Gu Jiang came back with Coke in one hand and beer in the other.

"Did you come by car?" Gu Jiang asked knowingly.

Lu Aizhen nodded.

"I'm sorry, you can only drink Coke." Gu Jiang put the Coke in front of Lu Aizhen, opened the beer by himself, and took a big sip on purpose.The place in the crowd was wet, Gu Jiangsheng licked it dry with the tip of his tongue, then narrowly blinked his left eye at Lu Aizhen.

Childish, Lu Aizhen complained secretly.

"Are you going to paint a mural?"

Lu Aizhen wasn't very interested in these things, so she turned a few pages and put it down.Seeing that he didn't read it, Gu Jiang took it, crossed one leg, put it on his lap, found the page he was reading just now, and read it again.

"No, there is a full-back design." They sat on one side, Gu Jiang leaned on the armrest, supported his head with one hand, and melted the screen with the other, lazily.

Lu Aizhen also leaned on the armrest, it was rare for him to relax like this, and it didn't feel bad.

"You still do tattoos?" Lu Aizhen asked.

"Don't do it," Gu Jiang didn't raise his head, "I don't dare, as soon as that machine turns, I get goosebumps all over my body."

Gu Jiang trembled in response to the occasion, as if remembering that voice, it was more terrifying than being taken to the dentist when he was a child.

"I'm just helping them with the design." Gu Jiang looked up and blinked, seeing that the Coke on the coffee table was untouched, "Don't you like Coke?"

Gu Jiang asked, "Do you want to change it to something else?"

Lu Aizhen "No need." He leaned over to pick it up, opened it and took a sip.

Gu Jiang nodded, and looked away, "Actually, most tattoo shops do their own designs. Luo Zi and I have a good relationship..."

Gu Jiang paused, and Lu Aizhen smiled in a timely manner, "I remember, the one who was beaten by his mother with a feather duster."

"It's just a beating, no feather duster." Gu Jiang gave Lu Aizhen an angry look. The situation that day was too embarrassing. If possible, he hoped never to mention it again. "They are too busy, or when the guests are in trouble, they will ask me for help."

Lu Aizhen asked, "Is it too busy or troublesome this time?"

Gu Jiang sighed, put down the ipad, and leaned his head on the back of the sofa, "It should be more troublesome."

"I heard that you have seen my designs before and asked me to make them, but you have to meet them first. I have a headache." Gu Jiang pressed the bridge of her nose and pinched it lightly. "I have never seen any customers. If you have any questions, please communicate on WeChat." gone."

"Then why are you looking at this?"

Gu Jiang didn't realize what Lu Aizhen was saying all of a sudden, and he understood what he meant when he saw Lu Aizhen raised his chin towards the ipad.

"Oh, those with full-back flower arms like to make a large area. Don't you all like these styles? It's either Tibet or Dunhuang. This time it's a girl, and I guess I would like Feitian more. We will meet in a few days, and I plan to Find some reference first."

Lu Aizhen raised her eyebrows, "Girl?"

Gu Jiang didn't realize it. "Yeah, I'm also quite surprised. There are very few girls who do full backs."

Lu Aizhen "Isn't it for you?"

"Of course it's aimed at me," Gu Jiang turned to look at Lu Aizhen, the expression on his face seemed to say, what are you talking about? "How about she appoint me to do the design?"

Speaking of this, Gu Jiang's eyes suddenly lit up, he bit his lower lip, the corners of his mouth curled up, his eyes curved into a crescent.

"Jealous?"

Lu Aizhen ignored him, and just glanced at him lightly.The two Gu Jiang brothers seemed to bump him with their elbows, "Don't worry, everyone in the circle knows that I don't like women."

"How long will it take?"

"?" Gu Jiang was stunned for a moment before answering, "We have an appointment on Thursday, and the design will take about a week, so we can finish it next week anyway."

"That's just right," Lu Aizhen nodded, seemingly satisfied, "Next weekend, some of our friends will go out to play for about a week. You and I will go together."

Gu Jiang: "Where are you going?"

Lu Aizhen "Sanya."

Gu Jiang "Sea and Sky Feast?"

Lu Aizhen "......"

Sanya?Gu Jiang frowned suddenly, Hai?

"Can I not go?" Gu Jiang touched the tip of his nose, as if he was embarrassed, but also seemed to hide his uneasiness, "Look, you also know that my weekend is the busiest, and I have made appointments for two days."

"Push it," Lu Aizhen replied without hesitation, "Zhu Ruoruo is going too."

"Leave next Friday afternoon, and I'll pick you up."
