Recently, in order to find a programmer with experience in VR platforms, Ji Wei asked almost all friends in related fields, and finally met Yu Yongshi, who has two years of experience in this kind of VR home machine platform, under the recommendation of her former colleague Rick. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The interview conversation with Yongshi went well. Knowing that he was a small company, Ji Wei, Kevin and Feng Yu were all ready to do a lot of ideological work for him and answer all his questions about the environment, treatment, career prospects, and so on. Unexpectedly, Yu Yongshi directly threw out a programmer's monthly salary in the city of Shanghai that seems not only reasonable but also low: 15,000 after tax. As soon as Ji Wei and Kevin accepted the price, he readily agreed to join the company, and finally solved an extremely urgent problem among the current large number of problems.

Subsequently, Ji Wei went to Lin Ximin for a long talk. She described the current state of the company and expressed her hope that he would stay and develop a new original project together and find a new direction together. Xi Min always kept a smile on his face during the conversation. Ji Wei naturally understood that he had something to say, but at present, in this state, it is normal for him to have reservations. Ji Wei felt that he had to be given some time to adjust, and take one step at a time.

In addition, at the strong request of Steiger, Ji Wei began to work in the Hongxin Software Office in the east of the city on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and in the Amusement Office in the west of the city on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Although I have been busy and hard at work every day, since I started running on both sides, the days of amusement on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays have become more and more looked forward to by Ji Wei.

Of course, doing things under the noses of Stegg and Johnny wasn't that bad. It's nothing more than a non-stop meeting after meeting, and if you are not in a meeting, you must be sitting in the same group of people sitting in the sofa area and brainstorming.

Steig and Johnny had a point: back then, when they were working on projects in the United States, each of them would come up with at least hundreds of ideas. As a software designer, you should come up with dozens of ideas every day, gradually accumulate them, and finally take the essence and dross from the jar of ideas, and make earth-shattering and ghostly works. It doesn't matter how much it has to do with the current project, just say your idea and everyone will applaud it.

In the first few days, everyone was immersed in a harmonious environment of joy and creativity at every meeting. But after a long time, Ji Wei began to panic a little. She felt like she had never been so inefficient, and although she was coming up with a lot of design ideas for Steger and Johnny every day, the direction of the project was not only not becoming clearer, but more and more deviant from the core, and the focus was lost.

This is a situation that software designers are most afraid to face.

Every Tuesday and Thursday, Ji Wei talks almost non-stop. When she came home late in the evening, she still had all the conversations and all sorts of nonsense in her head during the day's meetings.

When she returned to her office on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, Ji Wei was finally able to calm down a little to study and organize her thoughts, but every next day, when she submitted the documents and ideas to Stegg and Johnny, they didn't have too many substantive opinions, and always said: Not bad! But there is still a little bit more innovation, think again.

Well, she also hopes to have more time to dig a sea jar of ideas...... However, the contract has a timetable written in black on a white background, and stipulates the milestones and the payment settlement method attached to them, and the design direction of this software must be set this month for the sake of the food problems of the amusement and entertainment brothers.

It was Monday, and Ji Wei was in a good mood. She stayed in front of her desk full of materials in the amusement office, and was struggling to write the one hundred and first "XX Software Design Proposal on the VR Platform". A WeChat PC version dialog box suddenly popped up - from that industry senior - Alexander - [Hey, are you busy? 】

Of course, Ji Wei replied: [Fortunately, I'm not busy.; -)】

[I saw that you almost didn't post on Moments, and I thought you were busy all the time, so I didn't dare to disturb. Hehe. 】

[No bother, if you have anything to do with me, just talk to me directly, I just don't have the habit of posting the status of the circle of friends, hehe. 】

[Okay, how are you doing?] 】

[I've been fine lately, how about you?] 】

[I'm fine, too.] 】

Under normal circumstances, if there is no business contact between peers, there is almost nothing to talk about, between this routine, Ji Wei was curious if this senior had any business problems to consult her, so she asked: [Is there anything to find me? 】

[That's right, I'm going to Hangzhou with a group of customers this weekend. 】

What does going to Hangzhou have to do with me? Ji Wei didn't come up with it for a while.

[Hangzhou is very beautiful, I wish you a happy trip. 】

[I've heard that it's pretty over there, too.] So, would you be interested in coming with us? 】

Ji Wei was stunned for a long time, almost thinking that she had read it wrong. I thought: I think I've only met him twice. No more than five words were said when they met...... It stands to reason that the relationship is not good enough to travel together...... Hey, this cultural difference between China and the West is indeed big. But of course, as a mature career woman, you still need to know how to politely decline friendly invitations from others (especially peers).

So, she replied: "I won't go to study on the weekend. We hope you have a great trip. 】

[Oh well. Then I'll invite you to dinner when I come back from Hangzhou, okay? 】

[Okay, let's make an appointment when you come back.] 】

When she got off work in the evening, Ji Wei happened to go out with Kevin. Facing Kevin, who seemed to be her own brother, Ji Wei had nothing to say, so she mentioned that she was invited by Alexander.

Kevin was silent for a while, and asked her with a serious face, "Are you really going to eat with him?" ”

"It's just going to have a meal and a chat, it should be okay, what do you say?"

"Well, but be careful, Americans are more open."

"I know. Do you think he's like a bad guy? ”

"It's not like that, it's just worrying about you."

When Ji Wei heard this, she felt warm in her heart, patted Kevin's back with a smile, and said, "Don't worry." ”

Guan Yunyun drank with Xu Yunfeng's younger brother until three o'clock in the morning on that Saturday night, and then staggered home by taxi. Fortunately, that Xu Yunfeng's alcohol consumption is much better than it seems. When they parted, he seemed to be more sober than Guan Yunyun and escorted her into the taxi. As for how he climbed into the warm quilt and fell asleep soundly afterward, Xiaoyun really doesn't remember much.

At nearly four o'clock in the afternoon of the next Sunday, Guan Yunyun slowly opened his eyes against his aching head. At the thought of going home tomorrow, she had not yet begun to pack her luggage, and her whole body was weak. However, thinking about it in a good direction, it is a great luck that on Saturday night, just like she and Xu Yunfeng did, no one accidentally hit the street.

With such a wandering thought, Guan Yunyun forced himself to get up, and before entering the bathroom to put on the bath water, he made a large pot of bellflower jasmine tea for himself. After a while, the steam in the bathroom was swollen and warm, the bath water was ready, and she was about to step into the bathtub to take a bath when a phone call rang. When I picked it up, it was Luo Qingling who called.

"Xiaoyun, it's me, Qingling."

"Hi, Qingling. Yes! I was going to contact you again when I came back from my hometown for the New Year, and I would invite you to dinner then. ”

"Okay, it doesn't matter if you eat or not, I just want to know how you've been doing lately - you've gone back to your hometown?"

"Not yet, but I'll take the train tomorrow."

"Do you want me to send you? Help you with your luggage. ”

"No, I don't have much. Thank you for your kindness. ”

"That'...... What time are you coming back? ”

"Let's celebrate the New Year, come back on the 25th."

"I'll pick you up then."

"It's too much trouble......

"It's okay, you should bring a lot of things with you when you come back from home, I'll help you carry it."

Guan Yunyun really couldn't resist Qingling's sincerity...... That's how he is, always has been...... What you are sure of, stick to it to the end.

In order not to hurt this good friend's sincerity, Guan Yunyun happily accepted his kindness: "Okay, then I'll call you before I come back." Come and pick me up then. ”

"Okay." Qingling replied.

After hanging up the phone, Guan Yunyun soaked his whole body below his nostrils into a bathtub full of hot water, closed his eyes, and rested fully and well for an hour.

Early the next morning, Guan Yunyun rushed to the train station with the luggage that had been hastily packed the day before. As soon as I got on the train, I received a call from Xu Yunfeng, thinking that it was when we were drinking together that day and told him the detailed time of leaving.

"Xiaoyun, are you leaving?"

"Well, I'm on the train."

"Thank you for drinking with me the day before yesterday, remember to tell me when you come back after the New Year, and make an appointment to play together when you have time."

"Okay, I'll text you when I get back. I wish you a happy new year in advance. ”

"Good! Happy New Year and have a good time home. ”

"Hmmm! See you later! ”

"Bye-bye—"

When Guan Yunyun hung up the phone, the train began to slowly leave Shanghai Station and move forward. Looking at the flowing scenery outside the window, she felt a fresh injection of energy begin to flow in her heart, and unconsciously, a smile bloomed on her face......

On Tuesday, Ji Wei went to Hongxin New Software Company to submit the plan as usual, and Kevin was also there on this day.

Stegg spent five minutes reading through the twenty-page proposal and an analysis of more than a hundred ideas, then beckoned Ji Wei and Kevin to the couch area to continue the brainstorming session. Ji Wei has a fire in her heart, but of course she also understands that the customer is God's mother, no matter what industry, era, or planet she is in—the one who gives money is the uncle. So no matter how much resentment she has in her heart, she still has to obediently hold meetings, meetings, and meetings.

At around four o'clock in the afternoon, Ji Wei's brain began to buzz, and excessive brain use in the air-conditioned room for a long time would lead to short-term sleepiness and weakness. Unfortunately, she was in this state when the ringtone of her mobile phone "lullaby" suddenly rang; What's even more unfortunate is that the caller ID suddenly shows a terrifying name - mom -

"Vivi, it's Mommy."

"Oh, Mom, what's the matter?"

"Your dad and I are already in Shanghai, and we just arrived at 2 o'clock this afternoon."

"Huh? - Why didn't you tell me in advance, I'll pick you up. ”

"It's not your dad yet, I know you're busy. Anyway, our hotel has already been booked - Holiday Inn, the one quite close to where you live, and now we are resting in the hotel. Remember to come out and eat with us in the evening. ”

"Good...... What do you want to eat? I'm calling now to reserve a seat. ”

"Anything, just eat nearby, order your favorite food."

"That'...... I ordered the spice exchange, the one opposite my house, at 7 p.m. ”

"Anything goes—yes, book a four-seater! Good daughter, I'll see you in a moment! I hung up. ”

"Wait......" Before Ji Wei finished speaking, the phone was already hung up......

"What's wrong, what's wrong?" Kevin saw that Ji Wei's face was cramping and asked with concern.

"My mom and dad came to Shanghai......

"Oh, poor boy." Kevin said with a sympathetic expression.
