Chapter 5: Behind the Ambition (4)
Then, she deliberately raised her voice and said to me in an exaggerated tone: "Brother Chen, people worship e-sports players like you." ”
Sure enough, as soon as she said this, the footsteps of the little boy outside the door stopped instantly, and he obviously realized that there was a powerful e-sports player living in the next room.
I didn't understand what she was trying to do, so I said, "Ah, it's okay. ”
Xie Liuying: "Then is it very hard for you to play professionally?" ”
As soon as I said this, I understood what kind of medicine she was selling in her gourd, after all, after playing the game together for so long, there was still a tacit understanding.
Me: "Don't mention it, 100 arenas a day, I'm almost throwing up." ”
Xie Liuying: "Isn't it fun to play games?" Isn't it better to play games every day? ”
Me: "If you really play every day, you'll feel disgusting." To be honest, I don't want to play games at all now, I feel disgusted when I see games, and I want to read books and learn! ”
Xie Liuying: "Then you make a lot of money, it must be enough to support me." ”
Me: "Hehe, 4,000 yuan a month, you can play for these two years, and if you react slowly in two years, you will definitely be eliminated." Now I've been sitting for a long time, and I can't carry it. When do you have to go to the hospital? ”
Xie Liuying: "Then I heard that e-sports players are very majestic, and they are all deceitful for a long time, and I won't be good with you." ”
Me: "No, I got this contract after 100 opponents, and I'm sincere with you. ”
Xie Liuying: "What's the use of being sincere?" will play games, and I can't even support myself, hum! ”
One of us sang red face and black face, and tacitly performed such a small theater. Listening to the movement, the little boy outside the door seemed to be really attracted by our conversation, and he didn't hear his footsteps for a long time.
As for his mother, she must have realized that her argument was too loud and we had listened to it, so it was deliberately choreographed. She also went out at this time, using the effect of our "small theater" to borrow the donkey from the slope.
"Did you hear it, playing games is very hard, more tiring than studying." The mother also apparently heard that we were trying to find a way to reconcile mother and child.
The little boy stopped talking, and seemed to believe our exaggerated performance. Soon after, he was taken back to the house by his mother. Hearing the movement of the door closing next door, Xie Liuying laughed out loud: "I didn't expect you to look like a stupid melon, and you reacted quite quickly." ”
Me: "Be honest when you praise people. ”
Xie Liuying: "Do you think that little boy will worship e-sports players in the future?" ”
Me: "Yes, but when he's older, he'll understand that esports players aren't admired for making a lot of money or looking prestigious." In the same way, playing games, entertainment and careers are also different. ”
We drove a few more laps, but Xie Liuying never got the first place he dreamed of, and considering that he would have to get up early the next day, he had to return to his room unwillingly.
Before I went to bed, I received a message from her
Xie Liuying: "I've heard that boys only get older, but they don't grow up. Have you figured it out for yourself? Do you really want to eat this box of cans, or are you just attracted by the sound of the cans knocking? ”
Me: "If this box of cans is really hard to eat, then I'd rather eat it with nausea than regret my incompetence as I get older, and fantasize about the expired taste of the cans." ”
……
The next day, Xie Liuying and I took the subway across the city. The development zone is the most eye-catching business card of a city, and the development zone of H city has done it.
Future-oriented planning, wide roads with the right greenery will make you feel like you're in the middle of it, and you'll be embarrassed to spit. As for the building of Zhengwen Network Technology Co., Ltd., it is one of the landmark buildings in the new district.
The company, whose main business is gaming, sold off its former company building near the city center amid declining revenues, a move that allowed them to move to a better office location in a new area with relatively low land prices.
After the transparent automatic door opened, the young lady at the front desk of the building asked us what we were here and made a phone call. Two minutes later, we met the assistant named Li Yan. She was dressed in a black suit and stepped on a pair of not very high heels, showing the ability of a working woman.
When she saw us waiting at the front desk, she greeted us and introduced herself: "Li Yan, assistant to the general manager, although I heard what Mr. Wang said, the two of them are more temperamental than I imagined. ”
"Temperamental" is a very general adjective, because this word not only does not sound as superficial as "handsome" and "beautiful", highlighting a connotation, but also used to describe people with average appearance will not seem very fake, it is a word that cannot be used wrongly.
The assistant general manager received it in person, and Xie Liuying and I were naturally flattered. Li Yan went to the front desk to communicate something, then took two visitor cards from there and handed them to us, and carefully guided us to swipe our cards through the security gate.
With no work experience at all, we can't help but be amazed that this big company looks like it's tall.
We followed Li Yan to the top floor of the 22nd floor by elevator, she introduced: "This is our R&D and testing department, the new version is about to be launched, Mr. Wang opened five times the salary for everyone to work hard during the National Day." ”
Me: "New version? ”
Li Yan: "Yes, we expect the new version to be launched by the end of this year. ”
The moment the elevator doors opened, I felt as if I had traveled back in time, and the office space on the top floor seemed to only appear in a science fiction movie about the future.
Translucent glass walls separate each employee's workstation, and each person's desk edge is designed with a smooth curve, creating a separate space but cleverly connecting them.
Adjacent to the walls of the building are separate rooms that appear to have been converted to testers and visitors.
Seeing our surprise, Li Yan smiled and said, "Mr. Wang said that those who don't change the world can only be changed by the world." In order to attract sponsorship, we will definitely try our best to create such a window. "The admiration is beyond words.
I was puzzled: "Didn't he just come back?" How can such a full-fledged test group be assembled so quickly, and even a new version can be launched? ”
Li Yan: "During the years when Mr. Wang was away, he was studying for an MBA abroad, and he said that many ideas were formed at that time. As for our old subordinates, as long as he says a word, what is there that he is not willing to come back? ”
A game producer who graduated from the computer science department was calculated because he was not very proficient in business operations, so he used the time he left the company to study in a field that he was not good at and made up for his shortcomings. When the strong fall to the bottom, they never complain about the injustice of fate or feel sorry for themselves, but secretly accumulate strength to obtain strength that matches their ambitions.
