Chapter 600 Even if heavy rain turns the whole city upside down
Hamorey.
A very simple game company has developed four or five mobile games, but they have always been tepid.
Perhaps this is why it wants to find a new way to create a virtual love game.
At a roadside cafe, pedestrians hurried past holding umbrellas. Jiang Chen sat by the glass display window, looking at the skyscrapers opposite, holding up a cup of warm coffee.
Li Shurui is not a person who likes to make mysteries, but it wasn’t until Jiang Chen saw a woman walking out of the skyscraper opposite, holding an umbrella and walking towards this direction. He put down his coffee cup that he realized that Li Shurui had asked him to personally The purpose of coming here.
No surprises.
The young woman crossed the road, opened the door and walked in.
She handed the umbrella to the waiter, then looked around the quiet and elegant coffee shop, and then spotted Jiang Chen.
She walked this way, the closer the distance, the slower her steps became.
This is not at all like how old classmates should meet.
“Long time no see.”
Jiang Chen took the initiative and stood up with a smile.
Wei Chuyin squeezed out a stiff smile, looked at the man she had once reduced to the dust, pursed her lips, and finally whispered: "Long time no see."
Jiang Chen With a calm expression on his face, he smiled and gestured, "Sit down."
The two sat down opposite each other.
"Lanshan, thank you."
Wei Chuyin said to the waiter.
“How did you join the game company?” Jiang Chen asked as if nothing had happened.
“The salary is high, including food and accommodation.”
Jiang Chen smiled dumbly.
What a simple response.
“I didn’t expect you to come here in person.” Wei Chuyin looked at him with complicated eyes.
“It’s good to meet old classmates.”
Jiang Chen asked with a smile: “Where is Ai Qian? Is she also in this company?”
“No, she No. Her company is also nearby, not far away."
Jiang Chen nodded and picked up the coffee.
Wei Chuyin stared at him, hesitated, and couldn't help but ask: "You don't even know where she works?"
"On the day of the graduation ceremony, she seemed to say Yes, but I forgot.”
Graduation Ceremony.
That is to say.
Since graduation, the two have never been in contact again.
Wei Chuyin, who had witnessed the two of them getting together and then going their separate ways, was silent.
"How is she doing now?"
Jiang Chen asked, it didn't sound like he cared about his ex-girlfriend, his tone was calm, more like a polite courtesy.
Wei Chuyin was about to blurt out, but for some reason, she held back in the end.
“I don’t know.”
“You two are best friends, how could you not know.” Jiang Chen said subconsciously.
Visible anger appeared in Wei Chuyin's eyes, but she did not vent it out in the end.
Stepping out of campus and into society, this girl who was once keen on stirring up trouble next to her best friends has finally matured.
"Mr. Jiang, your time is precious, you probably didn't come to chat with me."
She clenched her hands, took a deep breath, and tried to keep her momentum up, "Let's talk about business."
Jiang Chen nodded, "Okay."
"President Jiang must have known the conditions of our company. Ten million is our bottom line. If your company does not agree , then we will only meet in court."
Looking at Wei Chuyin, who was wearing a lady's suit with a serious face and acting too hard, Jiang Chen was neither happy nor angry.
"Isn't ten million a bit too high?"
"Mr. Jiang is probably not a person who is short of money. Ten million is not a big sum for you, right?"< br>
Wei Chuyin could not suppress the hint of sarcasm in her tone, "Besides, the virtual love game has created such huge revenue for your company, Mr. Jiang won't be willing to give up even this little money, right?"
Jiang Chen smiled.
“Your coffee.”
The waiter brought the coffee.
“Thank you.”
Wei Chuyin controlled her emotions.
After the waiter left, Jiang Chen said calmly: "This is not a matter of money. Your company knows very well whether our games have been plagiarized, and so do we. The reason why I came here is Because we are all colleagues, there is no need to be too rigid. Doing business is all about being friendly and making money."
Jiang Chen cooperated and entered a business-like state, but Wei Chuyin suddenly felt uncomfortable.
In other words, she did not really change her mentality and could not accept the other party's strong appearance.
Is this man really still the young man who was obedient to Ai Qian?
The momentum that she had built up suddenly weakened. Wei Chuyin was at a loss for a moment and could only hold up her coffee to cover up.
“Why did your company push you out as a girl? If possible, I would like to have a chat with your boss.”
“Our boss doesn’t have time.”
Wei Chuyin's attitude is still tough.
Same.
She is just an employee. She has no autonomy. Even if she is pushed out to block the knife, she cannot refuse.
Jiang Chen leaned on the sofa and was silent for a moment.
"Three million, just think of making friends."
Hamorey asked her to negotiate, probably because he knew that she and he were classmates.
Indeed,
anyway.
A classmate.
Jiang Chen didn’t want to embarrass her.
"Mr. Jiang, I just said our bottom line is 10 million."
Wei Chuyin reiterated.
“Three million.”
Jiang Chen was calm, but revealed an unquestionable momentum, “You can go back and tell your boss my terms. If you don’t accept it, then leave. Let's solve it through legal means, but we have to remind him that if we really go to court, we will be enemies."
Wei Chuyin's face became unnatural, and she didn't even dare to look directly into Jiang Chen's eyes.
The atmosphere became quiet.
Jiang Chen picked up the coffee and planned to take a sip, but found that it was already a little cold.
After all, it’s a cold autumn day, and it’s still rainy today.
“I still have something to do, so I’ll leave first.”
Jiang Chen stood up.
Just when he was about to pass by, Wei Chuyin couldn't help but shout: "Wait a minute!"
Jiang Chen stopped.
Wei Chuyin struggled with her eyes, clenched her hands, raised her head and said, "Do you really not care about Ai Qian at all? Do you know that she..."
For some reason, She stopped abruptly again.
“She is a very good girl, I believe she should live a good life.”
Jiang Chen said softly.
"You are good sisters, take more care of her."
After saying that, he walked away without stopping, and soon opened the door and walked out of the coffee shop.
Wei Chuyin sat on the sofa, her eyes dull and distracted.
Jiang Chen opened the door to get in the car and left the cafe, rainwater splashing from the tires.
A black Audi A7 was parked on an adjacent street, and two cars passed by each other.
Not long after Jiang Chen drove away.
In a high-end office building on this street, at the end of the day, white-collar workers poured out of the building and stopped at the door, complaining about the weather.
Some squeezed umbrellas, some drove, and some called their boyfriends and husbands.
One of the short-haired women looked calm, holding an umbrella and calmly walking down the steps.
Her short hair, fresh and capable, and her outstanding facial features made the white-collar workers around her take a few glances.
I don’t know if it was because of the cold weather, but her face looked a little strangely white. "Ai Qian."
The door of the Audi A7 opened, and the owner walked out holding an umbrella. He must be in his twenties, not handsome, but wearing a decent suit. Getting into a car worth hundreds of thousands gives people an aura of youth and promise.
The short-haired woman stopped and looked at the other person stepping on the water and walking up to him.
"Get in the car and I'll take you back."
The A7 owner said with a smile.
Obviously.
The two should know each other.
To be more precise.
The two are alumni of the same university.
“No, I’ll just take the subway.”
Ai Qian smiled and declined politely.
"It's raining. Which subway should I take? Get on the bus."
The owner of the A7 car was very enthusiastic, "I've been waiting for you for half an hour. I won't give you this face." .”
When it comes to this matter, it is naturally difficult to refuse.
Ai Qian was silent for a while, then nodded and followed the man into the car.
The car owner closed the car door for her in a very gentlemanly manner and walked around to the driver's seat.
The A7 turned around and drove away.
"I recently found out about a good Italian restaurant, let's go and try it together?"
The young car owner drove the car.
"I have to work overtime when I get back, I'm afraid I don't have time." Ai Qian apologized slightly and refused politely. She was completely different from the girl who used her beauty to commit the crime.
The car owner didn't seem to be a graceless man, and he didn't press any further after hearing this.
"The work pressure in your company is too great. I will keep an eye on it to see if there is a more suitable company."
Although he is an alumnus, his enthusiasm seems to be a bit beyond the limit.
"Thank you, but don't bother me. I think it's good. Many of the things I learned in school are not practical now. I need to re-learn now. Only when I am under great pressure can I learn quickly."
The car owner turned his head. , "You're a girl, why are you so motivated? Don't tire yourself out. The company just sent me a few boxes of bird's nests. They're in the back. You can take them back later."
Ai Qian didn't Say no again.
The car owner turns on the music while driving.
"Next weekend, call Chu Yin, let's have a meal together? We are all alumni of Dongda University, and we work so close together. It's fate."
He and Ai Qian , in fact, we met through Wei Chuyin.
He is studying software development at Dongda University. He currently works for the same company as Wei Chuyin, both at Hamolei.
Of course.
His position is several levels higher than that of Wei Chuyin, and he is currently managing the development of new games.
Zhang Guangyi, the head of Xiaoyao Studio who is currently famous in the gaming industry, is his classmate.
He is indeed quite smart, and he can't get a date, so he pulls Wei Chuyin as an excuse.
As an employee, Wei Chuyin certainly couldn’t refuse.
"It depends. I don't know if I have time."
Ai Qian turned her head and looked out the window, as if she couldn't feel the overflowing thoughts of the other person.
Rain kept falling on the glass, blurring the whole world.
Although he is a software engineer, unlike Zhang Guangyi, the man is very talkative and constantly looking for topics.
Ai Qian responded politely to the alumni.
"This is a simple little love song, singing the twists and turns of people's hearts..."
A beautiful singing voice floated from the speakers.
"Even if the heavy rain turns this city upside down, I will give you a hug." Shao Shuhuai, who is definitely the best among the fresh graduates of Dongda University, recited the lyrics and joked: "These people are really exaggerating, how old are they?" The rain will turn the whole city upside down. ”
Ai Qian's eyes contracted and she didn't know what she was thinking of. She listened to the song quietly and remained silent.
After the last little love song was played, the destination just arrived.
This is a fairly ordinary community, but Ai Qian rents one bedroom and one living room, which costs 4,000 yuan a month.
It means that half of the monthly salary is given to the rent.
Wei Chuyin did mention sharing a house with her. Good sisters can take care of each other and reduce the burden of life. It is obviously the best of both worlds, but Ai Qian rejected it.
A7 stops.
The drizzle also stopped.
Ai Qian opened the door and got out of the car.
"Wait, I didn't take the bird's nest."
Shao Shuhuai got out of the car, opened the back seat door, and was about to give the bird's nest to the other party, but Ai Qian said: "No need."< br>
Shao Shuhuai was stunned for a moment, and then asked in confusion: "Didn't you just agree to take it back?"
"I'm not used to eating this kind of thing, and I probably won't eat it if I take it back, so don't waste it."
Looking at the smiling woman, Shao Shuhuai frowned slightly, feeling that something was wrong, but he didn't know what he had done wrong.
"Then...okay."
"Go back."
Ai Qian seemed to let him go first.
Shao Shuhuai smiled again and made a phone call gesture, "Don't forget what I just told you, next weekend."
Ai Qian smiled but said nothing.
Shao Shuhuai turned around, opened the door and got in the car.
The A7 drove away smoothly.
It wasn't until A7 left and disappeared at the end of the street that Ai Qian turned around, held an umbrella, and walked towards the community.
On the way, we passed a puddle.
The water is empty and clear.
It reflects her, as well as the nearby trees, buildings, sky, and the entire world.
Suddenly, as if a burst of pain hit her, Ai Qian sweated on her forehead, supported her knees, and squatted down with difficulty.
"How heavy the rain must be to turn the whole city upside down. These song writers are really exaggerated."
Once upon a time.
She seems to have said something similar.
At that time.
We were together not long ago and were in love. It was not a rainy day. On the contrary, it was a very hot summer night. She lay on the boy's back coquettishly and was carried by him as they passed by a fruit shop. , this is the song playing in it.
"The rain that turned the whole city upside down, isn't that a doomsday natural disaster?"
She deliberately leaned close to the boy's head and bit her ear.
The boy just hugged her leg lovingly and lifted it up.
"How could it be? One day when you hold an umbrella and lower your head in the water on the roadside, and suddenly see the skyscrapers that you usually need to look up at, you will understand why this lyrics is written like this "
"Tsk...how do you know everything?"
"You must have never looked down at the puddles on the road on a rainy day, but I have."
< br>The boy carried her on his back and walked slowly along the street.
"So, you should go to the library with me more often. Literature is very charming. Everyone has passed by that puddle of water on rainy days countless times, but the appearance of this sentence made This pool of water has a meaning."
"I don't want it. You always want to trick me into going to the library, right?"
The boy just laughed.
Standing water.
The whole city is clear and distinct.
Ai Qian grabbed her trouser legs and curled up tightly, her head buried deeply, hiding her face. Perhaps because of the sudden pain, her shoulders were shaking.
You know.
Even if heavy rain turns the whole city upside down.
I will give you a hug.
The city has been turned upside down.
But.
In my arms.
