Chapter 40: My Daughter Grows Up
Soaking in the bathtub, Xia Qingyu was blowing bubbles while imagining what her parents were talking about outside.
It wasn't that she unintentionally mentioned Ye Shenxi, she deliberately mentioned this person in front of her parents. That kind of "finally met you" mood, she is also an ordinary girl, and she also wants to share her inner joy with others.
Although there has not been a formal confession between him and Ye Shenxi, Xia Qingyu seems that this thin layer of window paper can be pierced at any time, just to choose a suitable time and a suitable place.
In the noisy exhibition hall of Huangpu CGS, under the afternoon sun, in the humid and hot air, the hug that Ye Shenxi gave her gave her gave her an insight into his heart.
For her, this trip to Huangpu and the negotiation with Jinyou are just a dessert in passing.
Xia Qingyu, who was soaking in the bathtub, thought with her eyebrows fluttering, while Xia Yuqi and Ruan Zhu on the sofa in the living room were cloudy.
If Xia Qingyu's beauty is inherited from her mother, then her attention to detail comes from her father.
In the shopping mall, Xia Yuqi, who was decisive and decisive, was particularly sensitive to what happened to his daughter, lighting a cigarette, twisting his chin and short beard, frowning, and contemplative, as if facing a great enemy.
"Lao Xia, you said that the product director is a man and a woman?" Ruan Zhu also sensed that something was wrong, especially her daughter's expression just now, and there was a little sweetness in her smugness, which didn't seem like she was just recruiting a capable subordinate.
Xia Yuqian shook his head, not to say that he didn't know, but to say that it was obviously a man.
"To be able to help Yu'er make a game in three months, he should be an experienced old man." Ruan Zhu said again.
Xia Yuqi is both worried and not worried, if it is not for the right age, the possibility of his daughter falling in love will be smaller, but if his daughter likes a middle-aged person, then he doesn't dare to think about it.
He had imagined what his future son-in-law would look like before, but in any case, the age is suitable, the body is healthy and good-looking, the three views are upright, and the family background is innocent, this is the basic requirement and the bottom line.
After Xia Qingyu finished bathing, changed into pajamas and walked in front of the two, Xia Yuyu quickly put out the cigarette, and instantly changed to a kind and smiling face.
Xia Qingyu walked to the middle of his parents and sat down, and said sweetly: "Dad, Mom, you haven't slept yet." ”
Knowingly, he asked, can they sleep?
"Yu'er, tell Dad about the company, Dad can give you a reference." Xia Yu frowned kindly.
"Okay." Xia Qingyu hugged his father's arm: "Where to start...... Why don't you ask, Dad. ”
Ruan Zhu on the opposite side gave Xia Yuqian a look, Xia Yuqian coughed slightly, and asked: "What kind of product director did you recruit, didn't you say that you wanted to design the game yourself?" ”
"I don't have talent...... Xia Qingyu pretended to pout, pitifully.
"Nonsense, how can you be my daughter without talent, I can't see if you have talent, if you have no talent, I can give you money to start a company." Xia Yuqi was not happy.
"Ouch, Dad, that's two different things. I have a talent for running a company, and I know that making games is far worse than others......"
"Who is the other person?" Ruan Zhu asked cautiously.
Xia Qingyu said: "It's the product director I hired." ”
"What does he do?" Ruan Zhu blurted out.
"Eh, Mom, that's an interesting question, that's the product director of a game company, of course, it's a game-maker." Xia Qingyu was amused by her mother's words.
"I mean who is he? Where did you find it? Ruan Zhu originally wanted to ask the men and women directly, how old they were, but they felt a little abrupt.
"Do you know Milestone? Huangpu's. ”
The couple shook their heads in unison.
"You know the game I used to play, right?"
"It's called 'Eternity', isn't it? You were playing and boasting at the time. Xia Yuqi was a little impressed.
"Yes, yes, that's the one who did "Eternal", he came to my company for an interview, I didn't believe it at first, but it turned out to be him, so I recruited him."
"What is he doing in your company? His own company is yellow? ”
"No, I don't know very well, there were originally two bosses in their company, it seems that he was kicked out of the game by the other, and then he went on a tour, and finally came to Funan."
Xia Yu was stunned and said, "You dare to recruit before you even figure it out." ”
Xia Qingyu laughed: "Dad, just a game-maker, and not a green forest hero who kills people and sells goods, what dare you dare." ”
"How old is he?" Xia Yuqi still asked, still a little apprehensive in his heart.
"24 years old." This kind of question means that the parents have been laying the groundwork for so long, and they are finally going to see the meat, Xia Qingyu's face turned slightly red.
This smear of red made Xia Yu's bad premonition stronger and stronger, at least the age was acceptable, he could only comfort himself like this.
"What is he doing at home?" This kind of problem...... It's all on the table.
"Dad, you smoke......" Xia Qingyu lit the cigar that Xia Yuyu had just snuffed out for him, and the couple couldn't see how the couple could not see such a reaction.
"He's an orphan......" Thinking of Ye Shenxi's life experience, Xia Qingyu was a little distressed.
The two husbands and wives are even more worried, not because there is any discrimination, but it seems that if there is no good education and family discipline, if a person grows up alone, he will inevitably have an extreme temperament, or even a little violent, how can he be a good match for his daughter.
In fact, the two of them are still confident in Xia Qingyu's ability to see people, but they care about it, especially in their favorite daughter.
Xia Qingyu saw his parents' worries, and explained gently: "He has a very good temperament, he swallows like water, and I have never seen him angry." ”
Xia Qingyu also knew very well that behind Ye Shenxi's gentle surface, there seemed to be a sense of alienation from the world. He said that after leaving the milestone, it was like life had lost its center and had been drifting, and she saw it very early, which was also the secret she had always wanted to explore about Ye Shenxi's heart.
Beyond those superficial appearances or talents or general personalities, this deep inner thing may have made her sink deeper and deeper.
Ruan Zhu asked nervously: "Yu'er, you tell your mother the truth, do you like him?" ”
After opening several doors, I finally saw the mountain.
Xia Qingyu looked at her mother's eyes and nodded firmly.
The daughter finally grew up...... This is really a gratifying and cruel reality for Xia Yuqi......
For a long time, the couple have never worried about their daughter's emotional affairs, with Xia Qingyu's conditions, family affairs, appearance, and talents, they have never thought of the possibility of becoming an old girl. She has been so arrogant since she was a child, her vision is almost to the sky, so many years of the rich son of the world's friends, classmates and young talents in famous schools have never been eye-catching, I used to watch Xia Qingyu disdain those boys who were humble on the surface, Xia Yuyu was both anxious and happy.
It's just that this kind of thing is happening now......
After caring for twenty-two years, the daughter who regards her as a treasure, the daughter who is more important than her own life is in love, she likes other men, and she is no longer alone. Although her daughter is twenty-two years old, Xia Yuyu still feels uncomfortable, as if the treasure in her hand has been snatched away by someone else.
Perhaps parents will never be able to accept the fact that their children have grown up.
It's hard for the parents, in order not to put a little pressure on their daughter, they have to squeeze out the appearance of being happy for Xia Qingyu......
Ruan Zhu didn't think to ask at all, "Then does he like you?" Such a question is simply too much, who can not like her daughter.
"How far have you got?" Ruan Zhu's heart was about to jump out.
"No, I'm concentrating on the project now, where can I have time to talk about it......"
Call...... The two of them breathed a sigh of relief.
"Do you have a picture?"
Xia Qingyu took out his mobile phone, and the only photo of the two was in Huangpu with his back to the Huangpu River and the Pearl Tower.
Ruan Zhu looked at his face, felt that he was a bit of a match with his daughter, and handed it to Xia Yuqian, who looked at it and didn't express any opinion.
"Tell your mom what kind of person he is?"
"He, I want to think about ......"
