Chapter 314 Night
In the evening, the west gate of the university.
The heat of the day has not dissipated, and the streets and alleys are crowded with people, including those who have got off work and students who are out to eat.
The aroma of various oil fumes wafts from roadside shops and surrounding residential areas, constantly stimulating people's taste buds.
Couples holding milk tea, walking on the street, happily discussing dinner options, full of youthful atmosphere.
Qin Shaoyan stared blankly at the couples walking on the street, wondering if his mentality was too mature.
Since my rebirth, even though I have been trying to integrate into this era, running around, scheming with investors and competitors, thinking about how to use the cards in my hand to gain an advantage all day long.
Coupled with the fact that I have been a man for two generations, my mentality seems to be relaxed, but in fact I am still the middle-aged man who has been living in society for many years in later generations.
My heart has gone through vicissitudes of life, but my body is still a young man in his prime, but I always forget this.
Occasionally when I look in the mirror, I remember that I am still very young.
Although most of the people around me are young people, it seems to be of no use.
What do you think this is?
Age 25, 60 years of life experience?
Qin Shaoyan asked the driver Hao Dashan to find a place to park and walked towards the destination alone.
It was a very ordinary small restaurant, with seven or eight tables covered with grease.
Most of the people who frequent this place are students, so the main focus of consumption is to be close to the people and take the affordable price route.
As soon as he walked into the restaurant, the boss greeted him warmly and helped him find a free table in the almost full lobby.
The busy waiter cleaned up the garbage, wiped the table with a rag a few times, and asked: "What food should I eat?"
"I'll wait for you for a while. Order more." Qin Shaoyan thought for a while, "Bring me two bottles of Coke first, room temperature...forget it, let's get the iced ones."
Looking at the Coke just taken out of the refrigerator, it's above. A hint of cool air is constantly floating around.
Holding the cold bottle, unscrew the lid and pour in a big mouthful. The coolness coming from inside and outside dispels the heat.
Qin Shaoyan, who has been accustomed to health care for many years, has long forgotten the last time he enjoyed the cold and refreshing happy water.
This feels so good.
Qin Shaoyan was lamenting the old days and enjoying the feeling of returning to youth. The person he was waiting for had already appeared.
“Sorry, I’m late.”
Mingyue, who came in a hurry, carefully pulled out the chair and sat down, with fine beads of sweat hanging on her fair face, and her long, slightly curly hair hanging loose.
Still breathless, Mingyue hurriedly pushed her hair behind her ears and straightened it out a little.
Today she is wearing a black patterned short-sleeved dress, simple and eye-catching.
Ming Yue felt a little uncomfortable when Qin Shaoyan looked at her, and she straightened her clothes again in a panic.
“Um, have you ordered?”
"I'm treating you today, and of course you will order." Qin Shaoyan looked at Mingyue with a smile.
“Alas.” Mingyue was slightly startled, “No, I obviously promised to invite you.”
“You invited me to drink milk tea last time, so this time it should be I asked." Qin Shaoyan said casually, "It's fair and reasonable."
"No." Mingyue said seriously, "That's not what she thought. He clapped his fingers and said, "You gave me a T-shirt last time, and I give you a cup of milk tea. This is even."
"Huh?" Qin Shaoyan was stunned and hesitated, "Does T-shirt count?"
"Of course it does." Mingyue looked at Qin Shaoyan, "Actually, I know that only registered members of the campus network will give it. Actually, I don’t meet the conditions.”
“Thank you for the T-shirt.”
Qin Shaoyan laughed dumbly, “Well, even if it’s a tie, I’ll treat you to the meal. Please do it again.”
“Let’s go to AA.” Mingyue insisted, “After all, a meal costs dozens of yuan.”
Qin Shaoyan was a little confused, and his expression was in a trance for a while.
Ming Yue picked up the menu and happily recommended the delicacies she thought, "This restaurant's pot-wrapped pork is good, I've been thinking about it for a long time."
"The ground three delicacies should also be delicious. I heard from my classmates that I have never ordered one to try."
"Sister Yang," Mingyue shouted to the proprietress, "Is my brother-in-law cooking today? Let's have another plate of Mushu persimmons. "
Qin Shaoyan looked at Mingyue and suddenly asked: "Do you often come to this restaurant to eat? "
"That's not true."
"I think you are familiar with this store." Qin Shaoyan asked curiously.
"I used to go to the store to wash dishes at night." Mingyue smiled sheepishly, "At that time, I couldn't even raise the tuition fees, so I had to work harder."
Qin Shaoyan felt a moment in his heart. I was choked, speechless, and looked at the bright moon quietly.
Looking at the familiar person in front of me, I suddenly felt strange.
Now Qin Shaoyan suddenly discovered that he seemed to have very little memory of Mingyue, and he knew even less about her in the previous life.
He only knew that Mingyue's childhood was not good, and her life was also very difficult before she met him.
When Qin Shaoyan got to know her, her life had gotten better. At least Mingyue never told him about the embarrassment of her life.
Ming Yue never seems to feel how miserable her life is. She always faces Qin Shaoyan with a smile and shows him her sweetness.
As for Qin Shaoyan, he often complained about the difficulties at work, and then received warmth from Mingyue.
Mingyue was panicked by Qin Shaoyan's eyes and lowered her head shyly.
For a time, an ambiguous and awkward atmosphere spread.
Qin Shaoyan slowly asked: "Are you still doing part-time jobs now?"
"No more." Mingyue said with joy, "Now that I have graduated, I have a job. , I also received a lot of outsourcing, and I earned more than washing dishes.”
Qin Shaoyan asked curiously: “Do you receive a lot of outsourcing?”
"Many, many!" Ming Yue gestured exaggeratedly, "There are so many outsourcing projects this year, and suddenly the animation market is getting better."
"I couldn't get a single order in a month before, but now it's a month There are more than a dozen orders, but I can’t finish them. I don’t even have enough time to sleep.”
“I usually cook by myself, but now I just call the restaurant to deliver the food. Oh, it’s too bad. It’s a luxury.”
“But I calculated that I can earn fifty yuan by saving the time for cooking, so it’s quite a bargain.”
It seems to be profitable. Mingyue was particularly excited about what happened, her eyes lit up, and she started talking endlessly.
Qin Shaoyan smiled and said, "Then if we eat together, will it delay you from making money?"
"It doesn't matter." Mingyue looked particularly generous, "You can't make enough money, and making money is to live a good life."
“You can’t stop having friends just to make money.”
Speaking of this, Mingyue’s voice suddenly dropped, and she asked with a guilty conscience: “I remember you were over there at Wudaokou It takes a long time to come here, right?"
"It doesn't matter." Qin Shaoyan said with a smile, "The driver drove me here."
"Huh?" Mingyue was stunned and looked at Qin Shaoyan in disbelief, "Do you have a driver?"
"From the company." Qin Shaoyan said casually, "I told the vice president of the company to come out to meet investors. So he asked the driver to drive me here. "
"This is called plundering the wool of capitalism. The company's benefits are not taken for nothing." Mingyue covered her mouth and laughed, "Your company's benefits are pretty good. "
"Well, the boss is quite human," Qin Shaoyan said casually, "All benefits are the best in the industry, but the overtime is a bit too much."
"Do you want to think about it?"
"I'm just an animator, and I don't know much about the Internet." Mingyue shook her head, "Although your boss is generous, he doesn't care for idle people."
"Besides, I have a pretty good job now and make a lot of money, hehe."
"That's fine." Qin Shaoyan suddenly said solemnly, "This year's animation market is a bit unusually hot. Suddenly there are a lot of animation companies, many of which are scam companies.”
“You should be more careful when accepting outsourcing services and don’t let them default on the final payment.”
Mingyue looked stunned and nodded, "Don't worry, I'm very smart. I won't send out PSD files until you pay the balance."
"I don't do outsourcing for a day or two. They lied. It’s not mine!”
Qin Shaoyan smiled, and then warned: “I’m worried that the animation craze will subside soon, and it will be hard to make money in two years. You have to plan in advance. "
"I have thought about this," Mingyue said with a grimace, "I want to change careers but don't know what I will do. I remembered that you mentioned that the game industry is very popular last time, and I want to go too. Try it. ”
“The salary of an original painter is good, but my talent is limited. It will be difficult to be an original painter. I have been studying 3D models recently and want to try to be a 3D modeler.”
"Is it easy to find a job as a 3D modeler?"
"Doing 3D is not bad." Qin Shaoyan encouraged, "And there are many employment directions, not only game companies, film and television post-production, and architectural design industries are in demand. "
"Yes, right!" Mingyue puffed up her chest proudly, "I think my vision is very accurate, so I decided to become a 3D modeler."
"In the future, we will do 3D animation and game outsourcing!"
"We will make a lot of money!"
Qin Shaoyan applauded in amusement, "Come on, I wish you to get rich and prosperous soon."
"When I look at you, I feel that you are destined to be rich."
"Yeah, yeah." Mingyue was praised by Qin Shaoyan. He was very happy and said proudly, "Young handsome guy is very good at talking. I will support you when I get rich in the future!"
"Don't you have some bad money? What's the big deal." Qin Shaoyan was angry Buping said, "You even want to use money to insult me. Do you think I am that kind of person?"
"Huh?!" Mingyue was stunned.
"Boss, I want to say that you are really good at judging people."
"Pfft hahaha!" Mingyue almost laughed.
Steaming dishes were brought to the table, breaking the laughter between the two.
Four courses and two bowls of rice, two people ate with gusto.
At the end of the checkout, Qin Shaoyan generously handed out a hundred-dollar bill, "I'll pay the bill today."
"No." Mingyue held Qin Shaoyan's hand stubbornly, "We agreed to eat AA today."
Qin Shaoyan said with a smile, "We are friends after all. What does AA mean? Let's do this. I'll do it this time, but you'll do it next time."
"No." Mingyue said seriously, "This is a matter of principle."
Qin Shaoyan froze and looked at Mingyue from his old wallet. Zhong carefully counted out the money and put it on the counter.
Ming Yue is still so stubborn.
It was exactly as he remembered it, when they first dated.
Ming Yue insisted on being AA. In the general environment at that time, Ming Yue seemed very different and not a little girl at all.
At that time, Qin Shaoyan was still very chauvinistic and felt that Mingyue's approach was a bit unnecessary, and he was very disapproving of it.
Now that the original scene reappeared, Qin Shaoyan felt a different kind of feeling in his heart.
There are not many girls who are so principled and stick to their principles.
The bright moon is still the bright moon, but Qin Shaoyan's mood is different at this time.
This lovely girl is still so beautiful.
Qin Shaoyan hadn't come back to his senses until he walked out of the restaurant, his eyes staying on Mingyue's face.
Ming Yue was embarrassed by Qin Shaoyan's hot gaze, "What are you looking at?"
"I'm looking at you." Qin Shaoyan replied sincerely.
"What do I have to see?" Mingyue lowered her head and subconsciously pinched the corner of her clothes, "Are you free next week?"
"Not necessarily." Qin Shaoyan sighed, "I may go to the United States. ."
"Go to the United States?" Mingyue raised her head in surprise, her tone seemed to be very reluctant, "Why go to the United States?"
"Go to the United States for a month or two? "Qin Shaoyan replied, "I have some business to deal with."
"Are you still used to staying in the United States for so long?" Mingyue asked with concern.
"It's not my first time there. There are colleagues there who will arrange everything." Qin Shaoyan reached out and patted Mingyue on the shoulder, "I will bring you a gift. What do you want?"
"No need." Mingyue quickly refused, "Things over there should be very expensive, so you don't have to spend money."
"It doesn't matter, I am quite wealthy." Qin Shaoyan said generously.
"It's your business if you have money." Mingyue still refused, "If you really want to give it, give something commemorative and not so expensive."
Qin Shaoyan He took a deep look at Mingyue and suddenly smiled, "Okay."
While the two were talking, they had already reached the downstairs of Mingyue's rental community, and they said goodbye with a smile.
Ming Yue quickly ran upstairs and quickly ran to the window. Looking at Qin Shaoyan's back walking away, she suddenly smiled.
What a wonderful night.
Ming Yue took out her small account book again and recorded today's expenses one stroke at a time.
……
Qin Shaoyan sat in the car with a smile on his face, thinking about the past in his heart.
The driver Hao Dashan felt that Mr. Qin was a little strange today. He kept laughing along the way, as if he remembered something happy.
Moreover, it seems that Mr. Qin is still singing, but he just can’t understand what he is singing.
Qin Shaoyan, whose face was glowing red, returned to the company, humming a song while reviewing documents.
Zhang Pingyi walked into the president's office carrying a stack of information, "Hey, why did Mr. Qin come back to work overtime again?"
"It would be a pity not to work overtime on such a beautiful night." Qin Shaoyan said with a smile, "Isn't Mr. Zhang working overtime too?"
Zhang Minyi threw the information on the table angrily, "If you hadn't given it to me With so much work scheduled, I won’t work overtime here.”
“If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight.” Qin Shaoyan casually picked up the documents Zhang Pingyi threw over, “Oh, it’s from the campus network. "
"Super Girl's event planning." Zhang Pingyi sighed, "It is estimated that many new users will come in by then, and the server will need to be expanded."
"This time. I plan to leave the event to Wang Jun. He has a high technical level and it’s time to take a look at his performance.”
