Zhongguancun, Mingcheng Information Industry Building.

In the most remote corner of the fourteenth floor, there is a sign printed with "Rock Network Technology Co., Ltd." The company is small, with an office area of less than 80 square meters, and there are only 15 employees and bosses in total.

It's almost time to get off work, Wang Lei is busy checking the progress of work, and the sound of employees tapping on the keyboard is loud.

Lin Xiaoyue, the company's original painting girl, tiptoed over and stood behind Wang Lei's right and patted him on the left shoulder.

Wang Lei turned to the right, then turned back, and said helplessly: "Don't make trouble, I'm busy." ”

Lin Xiaoyue pulled a chair and sat down, ate the potato chips on the table, and said, "Stone, you have to get off work early today." ”

"I'm afraid not," Wang Lei stared at the computer monitor and said, "Zhang Yan has opened up the platform channel, and I can't delay here, the whole company has to work overtime these days, including you." ”

"Huh? I'm working overtime again! ”

"Black-hearted capitalists, ruin my youth and harm my life!"

"Mr. Wang, if you work overtime, my girlfriend will run away with someone else, you have to compensate me for a girlfriend."

"Wake up, your girlfriend has already leaked air, and no one is interested in stealing it."

“……”

The company is full of mourning, mixed with ridicule and jokes, and it seems that employees are not resistant to working overtime.

It's more appropriate to be a game production company, or rather a game studio. The average age of employees is no more than 26 years old, which is the stage of full of enthusiasm, no family drag, and naturally do not care about overtime - although they are not paid overtime wages, they can get a lot of bonuses for each project completion.

The two bosses of the company are named Zhang Yan and Wang Lei, good friends who sleep in bunk beds in college.

Wang Lei came from an ordinary background, his parents were laid-off workers, and he made a living by setting up street food stalls. Zhang Yan is a rich second generation, and his family runs a food factory, specializing in the production of spicy strips and the like.

Lin Xiaoyue is a student at the Central Academy of Fine Arts, about to be in her fourth year, and usually works part-time as a concept designer at this company.

Seeing that Wang Lei was still busy working, Lin Xiaoyue could only write a note and hand it over: "The ancestor of the family is here, and he wants to see you by name." ”

Wang Lei took it and looked at it, he suddenly felt uncomfortable, he turned around and whispered, "This is to see the parents?" I'm not ready yet. ”

"You don't want to?" Lin Xiaoyue asked.

"Yes, willing," Wang Lei hurriedly expressed his attitude, "I mean, you should notify me as soon as possible, so that I can buy some gifts for our parents and our parents." ”

Lin Xiaoyue soothed: "Don't worry, the gift has already been bought for you." ”

Wang Lei looked at the time at the bottom right of the monitor, suddenly stood up and said, "Get off work, get off work, and do it again tomorrow." ”

The company suddenly became noisy, and a few people with good relationships discussed where to go for dinner, while Wang Lei took his girlfriend and slipped away. This company does not prohibit office romances, but as a boss and female employees, Wang Lei is still embarrassed to disclose the relationship, although everyone may have guessed it.

As soon as he arrived at the elevator door, Zhang Yan, another boss of the company, suddenly came out of the elevator and asked in a daze, "Got off work?" Stone, you have to hurry up these days. ”

Wang Lei was a little embarrassed, so he could only explain: "I'm going to Xiaoyue's house to meet my parents today." In addition, everyone has worked hard during this time, and it is not a matter of working overtime every day, so you should relax appropriately. ”

"Meet the parents? Yes," Zhang Yan said with a grin, "Let's go, I'll drive you over." Let your kid take the driver's license test early, it will come in handy now, seeing that the woman's parents are still taking a taxi. ”

Lin Xiaoyue cried and laughed: "Hey, Zhang Yan, what's wrong with taking a taxi?" My parents weren't snobs. ”

"Yes, yes, uncles and aunts are very good, but the face of the stone should also be supported," Zhang Yan patted Wang Lei on the shoulder and said, "If you are seen by your uncle and aunt later, you will say that I am your driver." ”

Wang Lei was also speechless: "What are you fooling in? ”

"Nonsense, what is the relationship between the two of us, can I not care about your marriage? Let's go! Zhang Yan said and dragged Wang Lei into the elevator.

Zhang Yan drove a BMW 325 out of the garage, suddenly stopped and said, "You're wearing a T-shirt and jeans?" ”

"yes." Wang Lei said.

Lin Xiaoyue said: "It's okay, my family doesn't care about this." ”

Zhang Yan said: "It's one thing to not care, and it's another thing to be polite. Listen to me, stone, go to the mall and buy a new one first. ”

Wang Lei felt very reasonable, nodded and said, "Then go buy clothes first." ”

Lin Xiaoyue urged: "Don't delay the time, go directly to my house, hurry up and drive!" ”

"Okay, you have the final say," Zhang Yan drove the car out of the underground garage and asked casually, "Where is your home?" ”

"Bilin Garden." Lin Xiaoyue said.

"Gah!"

Zhang Yan stepped on the brakes violently, seemed to know Lin Xiaoyue for the first time, gave a thumbs up and said, "Sister, you can be enough, you hide it deeply!" ”

"What's wrong with Bilin Yuan?" Wang Lei said blankly.

Zhang Yan didn't explain, only smiled: "You kid behave well, don't mess up, otherwise you won't be able to eat and walk around." ”

After more than ten minutes, Wang Lei finally understood - his girlfriend lived in the villa area of the Second Ring Road.

Beijing's Second Ring Road and Villa, these two words are rarely linked. In the second ring villa, where every inch of land is expensive, the developer is estimated to have broken his brain.

The community looks a little old, at least it is a house built seven or eight years ago, there is no car separation, but the green environment is frighteningly good. If he hadn't witnessed it with his own eyes, Wang Lei wouldn't have believed that the bustling and noisy Second Ring Road still had such a quiet place.

Wang Lei became more and more worried in his heart, and couldn't help asking: "Xiaoyue, what are your parents doing?" ”

Lin Xiaoyue said: "My parents are not the key, today's protagonist is the ancestor of the family, if you make the ancestor happy, everything will be fine." ”

"Ancestor?" Wang Lei looked confused.

Lin Xiaoyue explained: "It's my grandfather, my mother's grandfather!" Alas, the house in front of you, just drive to the door and stop. ”

Zhang Yan stared at the big house for a long time, and muttered: "Crazy, crazy, this house is estimated to be worth my family's total assets." ”

Wang Lei's whole person is messy, although he is a top student who graduated from Tsinghua University, his parents are just laid-off workers, and he never dreamed that his girlfriend would be the daughter of a rich family. He swallowed his saliva and said with a serious expression: "Xiaoyue, tell me, what do you do at home?" Why do you keep hiding this from me? ”

Lin Xiaoyue was a little cowardly, she didn't dare to look at her boyfriend, bowed her head and said: "Mingcheng Information Industry Building, which was invested and repaired by my grandfather, is in the name of my grandfather." ”

Zhang Yan said in a daze: "Mingcheng? Which rich man is called Mingcheng? ”

Wang Lei said in confusion: "Zhou Hexuan, Zhou Mingcheng." ”

"I'll go that!" Zhang Yan was half envious, half sympathetic, parked the car at the door of the mansion and said, "Dude, take care of yourself and ask for more blessings." ”

Wang Lei got out of the car as if sleepwalking, and saw a middle-aged woman walking towards him, he subconsciously greeted: "Hello Auntie, I am Xiaoyue's boyfriend Wang Lei." ”

Lin Xiaoyue reminded in a low voice: "This is my family's nanny Aunt Liu, Aunt Liu brought me up since I was a child." ”

"Aunt Liu is good." Wang Lei was suddenly extremely embarrassed, he thought he had met his future mother-in-law.

Zhang Yan in the car almost laughed out of his abdominal muscles, and he held back a smile: "Stone, you enjoy it slowly, I'll go first." ”

Aunt Liu suddenly shouted: "Young man, don't go, the old lady will let you go in and sit down." ”

"Me?" Zhang Yan was surprised.

Aunt Liu pointed to the balcony on the second floor: "The old lady was basking in the sun upstairs, and he saw you coming." ”

Zhang Yanle said: "Yes, I was lucky to be able to meet the big man in person today." ”

Lin Xiaoyue's mother, Zhou Shuyi, was cooking herself, and her father, Lin Jianchun, was still on his way home. The three of them exchanged a few words with Zhou Shuyi, and were directly taken to the balcony on the second floor, and the two young men suddenly became extremely cramped.

"Sit down and introduce yourself." Zhou Hexuan squinted and lay on the rocking chair.

Wang Lei hurriedly said: "Hello Mr. Zhou, my name is Wang Lei, and I am Xiaoyue's boyfriend. ”

Zhang Yan also said: "Hello old man, my name is Zhang Yan, and I am Wang Lei's partner. ”

Zhou Hexuan suddenly opened his eyes, and with a sweep of his gaze, the two young people's scalps suddenly tingled, and they felt that they had been seen through all over their bodies.

"Old youkai!" Zhang Yan muttered in his heart.

"That's amazing!" Wang Lei trembled.

Lin Xiaoyue grabbed Zhou Hexuan's arm and said coquettishly: "Grandpa, you were so fierce just now, don't scare people." ”

"Just sit down." Zhou Hexuan suddenly became kind, and his sharp eyes became dim, as if those were all illusions just now.

The two young men were already sweating in their vests, and Xiao Xiaoyi sat down, not daring to take a breath.

Zhou Hexuan smiled and said: "Don't be nervous, young people should have the sharpness of youth, I can still eat you as a bad old man?" ”

Zhang Yan smiled and said: "You are old and majestic, and whoever sees it will be frightened." ”

Wang Lei also said: "Your fame is too great, we don't dare to make a mistake." ”

Zhou Hexuan asked: "What books do you usually like to read?" ”

Zhang Yan said: "I am interested in history and like to read some history books, especially your "Fifteen Years of Wanli". Of course, I'm just a history buff and wouldn't dare to do anything in front of you. ”

Wang Lei couldn't speak: "I'...... I basically only read technical books, and I used to rarely read extracurricular books when I was in school, and the only one that could be related to literature was "The Reader". Oh, by the way, I've read "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in terms of history. ”

Zhou Hexuan asked: "In "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", which character do you like the most?" ”

Zhang Yan said: "I like Cao Cao, make good use of talents, be informal, indomitable, and have a true temperament. ”

Wang Lei thought about it for a long time, and his heart was already cold, and he felt that he was going to mess things up. "I don't have any favorite characters, they all have their own strengths and weaknesses," he said. ”

Zhou Hexuan didn't comment and continued to ask: "I heard that you opened a company, what are your career ideals in the future?" ”

Zhang Yan said: "Strive to make a good game, make the company bigger, and become a model in the industry!" ”

Wang Lei said: "I'm the same as Zhang Yan, I have to do my best anyway." ”

Zhou Hexuan squinted and said: "Games are not easy to do, and there are countless game companies that die every year." ”

Zhang Yan hurriedly said: "Our company is different, we have our own accurate market positioning. According to our analysis...... "

Zhou Hexuan immediately interrupted: "I don't understand the game, so you don't need to tell me about the specifics." ”

"Yes." Zhang Yan smiled awkwardly.

Zhou Hexuan asked again: "Do you like to play video games very much?" ”

"I like it."

"I like it very much."

The two young people no longer dared to tell lies in front of Zhou Hexuan.

Zhang Yan said cautiously: "Sir, there are many people who regard video games as spiritual opium, but this is actually a very wrong concept. Gaming is also a special hobby and sport, and some people like to play games, just like some people like to read books and some people like to play basketball. ”

Zhou Hexuan asked, "Do you know how to play any chess?" ”

Zhang Yan said: "I can play chess and Chinese chess. ”

Wang Lei said: "I can only play Chinese chess. ”

"Oh, then I'll take a look at the next game. Xiaoyue, bring out the chess at home. Zhou Hexuan said.

The two young people could only play chess hard, while Zhou Hexuan watched without saying a word.

Zhang Yan's chess style is very aggressive, and he likes to play clever tricks, and he always hesitates when he needs to make a decision. Wang Lei's chess style is relatively stable, step by step, never greedy for merit, but he is very decisive when changing pieces.

There is not much difference in the chess skills of the two, the first game was actually drawn, and Wang Lei narrowly won the second game.

After two sets, Zhang Yan had already let go, and said with a smile: "Old man, why don't we come to the next game." ”

"Okay." Zhou Hexuan said with a smile.

Zhang Yan soon became depressed, he encountered a torture and killing game, Zhou Hexuan slowly and methodically ate all his chess pieces, and only a lonely old handsome man was repeatedly teased.

"Awesome, awesome, you're professional!" Zhang Yan gave a thumbs up.

Zhou Hexuan smiled and said: "My chess skills are average, and my housekeeping skills are playing mahjong." ”

Zhang Yan hit the snake and immediately said: "If there is a chance, I must be taught and taught." ”

"No problem." Zhou Hexuan seems to be happy and in a good mood.

Lin Xiaoyue saw that her boyfriend was bored and didn't speak, but Zhang Yan chatted vigorously with her grandfather. She couldn't help but be a little anxious, and leaned closer and urged in a low voice: "Don't be stunned, you usually know how to speak, why are you always stupid now?" ”

Wang Lei replied silently with his lips: "The pressure is huge, and my brain is confused." ”

Lin Xiaoyue didn't wait for Zhang Yan to play the second game with her grandfather, and took the initiative to help set up the chess pieces and said, "Stone, you can also play chess with your grandfather." ”

Zhang Yan immediately echoed: "Yes, you come down to the stone, you are the protagonist today." ”

"Then I'll try." Wang Lei squeezed out a stiff smile, and then, the army was defeated.

Not long after, Lin Xiaoyue's father, Lin Jianchun, also went home, and the two young people accompanied Zhou Hexuan downstairs for dinner.

At the dinner table, Zhang Yan's various appropriate gags made Mother Lin smile. And Wang Lei was always half a beat slower, and he seemed a little at a loss, so he became more and more anxious, and finally messed up during the toast - knocked over Zhou Hexuan's teacup, and the tea flowed all over the ground.

At nine o'clock in the evening, the two young people left the mansion, and Wang Lei said with a pale face: "It's over, it's over, I'm a clown today!" ”

Zhang Yan could only pat his buddy on the shoulder and comforted: "It's okay, don't think too much." Mr. Zhou was not so careful, he smiled the whole time, and he didn't blame you at all. ”

"That's terrible," Wang Lei said with palpitations, "Xiaoyue's grandfather, he hides everything in his heart and understands it, and people are just happy and angry." ”

Zhang Yan felt empathy, nodded and said: "I heard people mention the masters of the Republic of China era before, and I still don't think so. Today, I finally saw that none of the people who can dominate the Republic of China are simple roles. What's more, he has lived for more than 100 years and is already an old fox who has become a sperm, and we are like kindergarten children in front of him. ”

Wang Lei said: "His eyes are like knives, he can poke people alive a few holes." ”

Zhang Yan said: "Damn, it's okay if you don't say this, my scalp will be numb when I talk about it." I used to look at the Internet, what eyes shine, what eyes kill, I still think it's funny when I look at it, but today I finally experienced it myself. What's even more scary? He can collect and release, how kind and kind he is when he smiles, and when he doesn't stare at people, he is almost like a retired old man. ”

"Alas, I'm out of play," Wang Lei shook his head in frustration, "Originally, their family was a wealthy family, and it was not right for the door to be a family, and I acted like a clown today, and it is estimated that Xiaoyue will be banned from associating with me in the future." ”

"Let's look away, buddy," Zhang Yan comforted, "we are not from the same class as them. Even if we struggle all our lives to make the company the industry boss in China, it is like child's play in front of others. ”

……

Lin family.

Lin Xiaoyue sat on the sofa in annoyance, similar to Wang Lei's thoughts, she also felt that her relationship would be opposed by her family.

Zhou Hexuan half-squinted and asked, "Shuyi, how do you feel about these two young men?" ”

"That Zhang Yan is good, polite and courteous, decent, and very smart." Zhou Shuyi said.

Zhou Hexuan asked again: "What about Xiaolin?" ”

Lin Jianchun said: "People like Zhang Yan are easy to mix up, but their future achievements are limited. As for Wang Lei, the young man has great potential, but unfortunately the starting point is too low, the vision is too shallow, and the small family is too heavy, so he needs to be cultivated slowly. ”

Lin Xiaoyue suddenly became happy: "I'm right to pick people." ”

"There's still a little bit of understanding." Zhou Hexuan said.

Lin Jianchun echoed: "Yes, my understanding is a little lacking. ”

Zhou Hexuan said: "When the Olympics are over, I will go to Tianjin and have a look at Sanle Hall. Xiaoyue will accompany me and let her boyfriend follow. ”

Lin Jianchun was stunned: "Grandpa, this is a bit of a seedling, right?" ”

Zhou Hexuan said with a smile: "If he can't withstand this test, how qualified is he, a poor white boy, to be my great-grandson-in-law?" ”

"Grandpa, Dad, what kind of test are you talking about? Why can't I understand at all? Lin Xiaoyue said in a daze.

Zhou Hexuan said with a smile: "If your boyfriend accompanies me to Sanle Hall, he will definitely be very busy next, it depends on whether he can keep his heart and not be dazzled by the five-color fan." If he can survive, even if he is a traitor, I will admit it, and I should train a successor for your department. ”

Lin Jianchun immediately felt sympathy for that young man, because he also came over like this back then.

Marrying the daughter of the Zhou family is very easy, you don't need to have a prominent family background, and you don't need to have a family fortune. There are only three requirements, first, the daughter of the Zhou family likes you; Second, you need to have basic abilities and potentials; Third, the nature of the heart!

The nature of the mind is the most elusive and the most important.

When one's life has undergone a great change, it is the most testing of a person's heart. This kind of change not only refers to encountering great difficulties, but also refers to the spring breeze being proud, everything going well, and once rich.
