Chapter 1 Homecoming

Next Chapter

The sunshine in Xunyang is old, and it doesn't seem to have changed from when I left five years ago.

The end of spring is not hot, especially in Xunyang, which is a particularly pleasant place. Walking out of the tunnel of the train station, the breeze blew, and Fan Zhe, who had taken the train for more than ten hours, and set foot on the land of his hometown again, his drowsy head was much clearer.

He looked at the chubby man standing in front of the station, and he wanted to give him a hug, but in the end he just smiled.

A man is the shyest, he can say the most sensual sweet words in the world to the woman he loves, but he will feel hypocritical and embarrassed to his father even with a hug.

"Dad."

"Hmm." The chubby, darker man nodded, with a smile on his face, "Have you eaten?" ”

"Nope."

"Why don't you eat something in the car?"

"The things in the car are not tasty and expensive."

"It's okay, your mother left you food at home, go home and eat."

During the conversation, Fan Qing led Fan Zhe to a pickup truck parked on the side of the road outside Xunyang Station.

The all-white pickup looks a little old, and the two big red letters 'coach' written on the hood are very eye-catching.

When Fan's father was young, he worked in a first-tier city, but as he got older and his life was not good, he returned to his hometown. A few years ago, after the last eight rounds of Kaila Sand, I lost money due to policy problems, and I took a year off to become a driving school instructor. Twenty or thirty years of veteran drivers, this ability is there.

At that time, Fan Zhe was in college, his expenses were also large, and his family owed a lot of debts, and he couldn't pay them off all these years.

Opening the back seat door of the pickup truck, Fan Qing wanted to help Fan Zhe carry the suitcase, but he refused.

"I'll do it myself."

Dad Fan was not reluctant and sat in the cab.

As soon as the car started and drove out of the station, Fan Qing said, "How long are you going to stay when you come back this time?" ”

"I guess I'll stay for a while longer, so I can't leave."

"Huh? Not leaving? ......" Fan Qing wanted to speak and stopped, sighed, and said: "It's okay, I haven't been able to come back a few times after going out for five years, your mother misses you too, it's good to come back and rest." ”

"Hmm."

After a while, Dad Fan spoke again: "Then your company, there is really no way?" ”

Fan Zhe twisted his buttocks, and the coach pickup truck was not very comfortable: "The employees have been paid salaries and dismissed, the place has been subleased, the equipment that can be sold has been sold, and several partners who have lost money have accepted their fate, so what else can be done?" ”

"How much do you owe?"

"After the settlement, I still owe more than 200,000 yuan, plus the money I borrowed before, almost 500,000."

Hearing this, Fan Qing turned his head to look at his son, and found that the expression on his face was not so heavy.

Dad Fan knew that he was under pressure from his heart, and he didn't want his family to worry. But he is not a person who is good at words, and he doesn't know how to comfort his son at this time. All he could say was, "Tell me anything." ”

Fan Zhele said: "You earn three or four thousand a month, what can you do?" Rest assured, your son can afford it. ”

"How?"

"Slowly, how old am I." Fan Zhe couldn't see any pressure on his face, and smiled easily. He thought about the chip in his suitcase, and his heart felt more relaxed.

……

Fan Zhe is an original painter, he has been in art training classes since junior high school, took the art examination in the college entrance examination, and studied animation design at Shenghai Art Institute. After graduation, he stayed in Shenghai, participated in the work, and worked in the original painting circle for almost five years.

Life in a big city is not so easy, although the salary in this industry is not low, but the wealth and wealth are too much.

After all, he is a person with a little ambition, and he doesn't want to be silent like this, so he has an opportunity to take advantage of the hot trend of mobile games, and have a partner pull him to be the art director.

At the same time as the technology was shared, Fan Zhe also invested a lot of money, and the money saved from several years of work was thrown into it.

Then, it was a nightmare year.

After several projects in a row, the company was already unsustainable, and investors lost confidence and finally came to an end.

Fan Zhe didn't want to get the money back, he didn't even get eight months' salary, and he almost starved to death in Shenghai. The company went bankrupt and liquidated, and the only thing left for him was a USB flash drive that he didn't know where it came from, or the last time he went to the company and took it from a table.

Under the major blow, Fan Zhe was also depressed for a while before slowly relieving himself.

Then, when copying files with a USB flash drive, he realized that what he got was not a USB flash drive.

It's a chip that comes from nowhere, and I don't know who made it, and when it's connected to a computer, it can work directly.

After learning about the function of this chip, Fan Zhe quickly became excited.

The software carried by this chip is called the 'dimensional system'.

The so-called 'dimension', in Fan Zhe's understanding, is a powerful tool, and it is an image work software that contains cutting-edge technology that he cannot even understand.

Fan Zhe suspected that this thing was an extraterrestrial product, and had never heard of any company or organization on this planet that could produce something with this level of technological content.

……

Ride in Daddy's car and return home.

The old community has not changed much from the situation when he left home to go to Shenghai five years ago, and everything still looks so familiar to him.

His family lives on the fifth floor, an old community without an elevator, so he can only carry his luggage up the narrow corridor step by step.

Fortunately, this time when he returned home, Fan Zhe didn't bring too many things back.

Walking upstairs, the door of the house was already open, and Fan Zhe's mother, Li Rong, was showing her head outside the door, and she couldn't hide a smile on her face.

"When I heard the footsteps going upstairs, I guessed it was you." Li Rong let the door open and let the father and son into the door.

As soon as he entered the house, his nose was full of fragrance, and it was still a familiar taste that accompanied him throughout his childhood and youth.

Li Rong's cooking skills are widely praised by many relatives and friends, and everyone who comes to Fan's house as a guest will definitely praise Fan's mother's craftsmanship.

Putting the luggage in the living room, sitting at the dining table, looking at the whole table of dishes, Fan Zhe said, "Mom, what are you doing with so many dishes?" It's just the three of us, where can we finish eating? ”

Li Rong said with a smile: "Eat, it's all your favorite food, I'll make you something else tomorrow." ”

Hearing his mother say this, Fan Zhe was not hypocritical. He moved his chopsticks and boasted as he ate.

Throughout the whole process, Li Rong watched with a smile on the side.

After a while, when Fan Zhe was about to finish eating, Li Rong suddenly thought of a question.

She asked, "By the way, Xiaozhe, why didn't Jiayi come back with you this time?" ”

Fan Zhe paused for a moment while eating, then raised his head and said calmly: "I divorced Jiayi." ”

As soon as these words came out, the faces of Li Rong and Fan Qing all changed.

"Divorce?!" Fan Qing slapped the table violently, "What's going on?" ”

The chubby Father Fan was furious at the moment, and the Mother Fan, who was sitting next to her, was not much better.

The news of his son's divorce came so suddenly. This is undoubtedly a heavy blow to the old couple.

What's more, the couple has been very satisfied with their daughter-in-law Ye Jiayi since they first met a few years ago.

Divorce? It's bad news.

If it weren't for the fact that the old couple were relatively healthy, it would not be impossible for them to have a heart attack at this time.

"It's my fault." Fan Zhe said, "I don't blame Jiayi. ”

"Don't think you're going to fool you around!" Father Fan said with a blushing face, "Why didn't you tell us about the divorce in advance?" I said why didn't she come back with her, you stinky boy! ”

Fan's mother Li Rong covered her face, and tears were about to fall: "What the hell is going on?" Why Divorce? ”

"Some time ago, the relationship was not very good, and after a quarrel, I got divorced." Fan Zhe didn't explain much, he really didn't want to say anything more in this regard, especially with his parents.

Fan Zhe's ex-wife Ye Jiayi is a native of Shenghai, her father died in a car accident at an early age and was raised by her mother, but her mother also died of illness in the year she graduated from graduate school.

Fate was not kind to her.

The two met and fell in love in Shenghai five years ago, when Fan Zhe had just joined the work for a few years, and Ye Jiayi was still in graduate school. Three years ago, Ye Jiayi graduated from graduate school, and the two entered into marriage.

Ye Jiayi can be regarded as a character like a scholar, and she has the meaning of a strong woman. After graduating, she quickly threw herself into the workforce. In three years, he has reached the point of the middle-level leader of a well-known investment bank in Shenghai, and the future is bright.

It's just that it is precisely because of this that the married life of the two is far from as beautiful as they imagined before marriage. Ye Jiayi's work is very busy, Fan Zhe is not much better, plus the mortgage, car loan, and both of them are people who have certain requirements for the quality of life, economic pressure and other problems have caused many conflicts between them.

All this, after the collapse of the company in which Fan Zhe participated in the investment, completely exploded.

Beforehand, Ye Jiayi did not agree with Fan Zhe's investment in that mobile game company. It's not wrong to chase hot spots and outlets, but as an investor, Ye Jiayi is not optimistic about the prospects of Fan Zhe's mobile game company.

According to her, Fan Zhe's company 'lacks core competitiveness', 'market research is naΓ―ve and immature', and 'investors and partners are unreliable'......

Facts have proved that Ye Jiayi's judgment was correct.

It's just that Fan Zhe didn't think so at that time, he had a big quarrel with his wife, and then devoted himself to the work of the new company.

In those months, he and Ye Jiayi were basically in a state of cold war. What is ridiculous is that in those days, Fan Zhe had no income, and all aspects of the family's expenses were supported by Ye Jiayi alone.

After the collapse of the company, Fan Zhe's loss naturally needs not be said, but the most serious blow to him is that he once found out that his wife's boss, the man named David, was pursuing her.

That's a turtle plus a rich second generation, but it's not that kind of bag, the ability is quite outstanding, and the personable is personable. No matter how you look at it, it is much stronger than Fan Zhe.

Because of this incident, he had a big quarrel with Ye Jiayi, and finally ended in a divorce between the two.

Calm down and think about it, Fan Zhe feels that he himself has to bear some responsibility for the failure of his marriage.

It is true that Ye Jiayi has a strong personality, but when she thinks back to herself at that time, she is simply a bastard. After eating soft rice for several months, his temper was still so irritable, and the cloud of career failure hung over his head, which made his mentality indeed unbalanced.

But the entanglement between his wife and his young and wealthy boss can't bear it.

In a fit of anger, as soon as the divorce agreement was signed, he returned to his hometown the next day.

He didn't want to talk to his parents about these words, they didn't mean anything at all. But his father and mother would never let him go like this, and asked him for a long time. Fan Zhe didn't want to say anything, and he was able to get out until the sky showed some signs of darkening.

"What do you eat at night?" Before entering the house, Fan Zhe turned his head and asked.

"Eat, eat, eat, know to eat! Leftovers at night! Li Rong didn't give him a good face at all.

……

Back in the room, he rubbed his face, threw away his bad mood, and sat down in front of the computer.

Clicking on the icon on the desktop, which is made up of intricate colored lines, he launches the software called 'Dimensions'.

'Dimension' is the system carried in the mysterious chip in his hand, and it is authorized to the notebook he is currently using, and subsequent use does not need to be started through the chip.

Of course, if you lose your computer, that's okay. As long as the chip is still in his hands, he can revoke the license for any hardware or network device at any time, making it impossible to enable this mysterious system. At the same time, this chip can only be activated by himself.

'Hum', the cooling system of his high-end alien laptop was squeezed to the maximum.

I knew that today, he would buy such a game book when he was full, how good would it be to buy a mobile workstation with more money?

The game harms people and ruins my future!

Well, when you're done with business, you can go and play LOL......

The 'dimensional system' is not something that a laptop can afford to run.

It didn't take long for Fan Zhe to get the 'dimension', but after figuring out what it was, he had a huge passion for it.

This enthusiasm is enough to sweep away the depression caused by the collapse of the company and the failure of the marriage.

Skillfully open the work interface.,That animation that has been rendered for a long time,It's finally finished.。

The whole animation is not long, only thirteen seconds, not even a short film.

But the content is not simple.

From the face of an elderly man, slowly zooming in and out of the camera, to the people coming and going in this fantastical street scene, to the whole magnificent and beautiful city built on the edge of the cliff, and then to the end.

It's a short time, but it's a lot of models, a lot of characters, and dazzling and amazing cityscapes, all of which contain a lot of technology. Just building those models is almost like a long time of work from a top company.

What's even more amazing is that from the character modeling to the city's streetscape, the whole style combines realism and magic very well.

To achieve such a level of technology, it is necessary to have the top special effects companies in the industry.

However, all this was done by Fan Zhe alone.

From concept design, concept artwork, to model building, character expression and motion design, in addition to the final rendering...... He did it all.

Although it took a little longer, especially the intelligent construction on the model, it almost killed his laptop, running 24 hours a day, and it took a long time to finish. As for the final rendering, it was not something that could be done by a computer, and he threw it to the rendering farm.

But despite this, it's still an incredible thing.

And the reason why he was able to accomplish all this was because of the 'dimension'.
