Fan Ping'an has always felt that he is a mortal, an ordinary person.

Because he was born ordinary, his family was ordinary, his upbringing and education experience was ordinary, and even his job after graduation was ordinary.

But he never complained about the ordinary, and he never hated the ordinary.

Just because he has believed in the idea since he was a child is that ordinary is bliss.

Although Fan Ping'an has always looked ordinary, but if you look at his life carefully, he is actually not extraordinary at all.

His parents love him very much, although his talent is not high, but his efforts are extraordinary, he was able to enter a first-class university in the capital from a remote mountainous area with poor teaching resources, and the efforts he made behind him are not ordinary in the eyes of the public.

He also loves his life, but also loves his work, and for these two things alone, he is a very remarkable - extraordinary person.

Even if he looks ordinary at a glance, his thinning hair, big glasses, and even the fat on his stomach looks like a stereotypical middle-aged man.

But his eyes were bright.

The corners of the mouth are also always upward.

More like a shy big boy.

And the reason for all this is just because he has a positive heart.

He will always be like a big boy in his twenties, full of curiosity and enthusiasm for everything!

It is also because of his curiosity and enthusiasm.

He is obviously thirty-seven years old, but he has not experienced the boiling 35-year-old crisis uploaded on the Internet.

Everyone likes him very much, not only friends, colleagues, bosses, but also those who know him, will look at this always energetic man and praise him for being really energetic.

Today is also the thirteenth year of Fan Ping'an's work, he has been rooted in this game company since he graduated, and as a game planner, he has been in charge of three games in these thirteen years.

Although the company he works for is not large, there are many signature games, and he is also a game planner who can rarely be called "conscience".

For this kind of praise, Fan Ping'an will only smile and support his players, and he will just follow his own rules.

And Fan Ping'an's rule is very simple, that is, he only earns the money he knows.

He doesn't want to be rich or rich, he just wants to earn the cost of maintaining his ordinary life.

And his rules are more called restraint.

He restrained greed, he restrained desire, and in the end he got more than many people who didn't know how to restrain themselves.

And now the game that Fan Ping'an is in charge of is a chess game, this game is very unpopular because of the theme, and even counting the internal test, it has been two years, and the number of his users has not exceeded 500,000.

But because of the unpopularity, he also has a lot of loyal players, most of whom are players in their thirties and forties.

For these players, although they have a certain level of spending, they will also be reluctant to spend too much in the game due to family life.

And Fan Ping'an is not willing to ask for too much, he is also a man of this age, and he knows that life is not easy.

Except for the bi-monthly update that requires players to krypton gold, he will not have cumbersome recharge activities like many games at other times.

Because of this, many players think that this is a game full of human touch.

But at this time, Fan Ping'an has a bit of a headache, and recently, other games in the company seem to be in a situation of poor management, not only a large number of players have withdrawn from the game, but even several games have been difficult to maintain a balance of payments.

This also led to the pressure on the company's top management, and they hesitated again and again, but still found Fan Ping'an to talk, saying that he wanted him to work hard to make this game a hit to make up for the company's losses.

Although the words were implicit, Fan Ping'an also heard the meaning of the high-level words, that is, to let Fan Ping'an break his principles and earn some money beyond his cognition.

Because of this, Fan Ping'an was very anxious, he didn't want to break his principles, and he didn't want to empty the player's wallet.

After all, he took over this game for more than a year, and in this year, he has seen the growth of the game, and also seen the stop-and-go of players, and inexplicably saw some kind of unspeakable hope from this game.

He hopes that this game can be operated for ten years, or even twenty Chinese New Year's Eve or even longer, and he hopes that this game can become a benchmark in game history, so that more players can see that domestic games also have high-quality products.

It's just that the reality is very cruel, in the face of jobs and principles, if he can't find a balance, then sooner or later he will lose everything he has now because of hesitation.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night, Fan Ping'an is lying on the bed, constantly rummaging through his mobile phone, and there is more confusion in his eyes.

Fan Ping'an's mobile phone is an old-fashioned smartphone, and the storage space is only a pitiful 128g, in addition to the daily necessary social software.

There wasn't much room left for him.

And because of his own work, his remaining space is almost filled with mainstream chess software on the market.

It's a little ridiculous to say, Fan Ping'an didn't actually have any contact with Chinese chess before college, if it weren't for work, maybe Fan Ping'an would never touch chess in his life.

But because of his work, he came into contact with chess, and he fell in love with chess in the past year.

Although his chess skills are limited because he has not been in contact for a long time, he is also a person who loves to learn.

In the past year, a considerable part of the books in his bookcase are ancient scores of chess, and while he is studying these ancient scores, he has vaguely grasped some wisdom of the ancients.

For example, the most taboo thing in chess is greed, and so is being a man, as long as you are greedy for one step, you will be greedy step by step, until you are greedy to the abyss of losing chess. People too, as long as people are greedy once, they will not be able to restrain their greed all the time, and finally miss the good game.

For example, one of the most famous proverbs in chess is that if you make a wrong move, you will lose the whole game. But few people know that his next sentence is a step of pride, step by step.

And the meaning of this sentence is very simple: as long as you make the wrong move, you will lose the rest of the game. If you take a good move in the chess game, and play steadily and steadily, you will win the game.

This sentence is also now extended to do things must be thought about before and after, every step must be cautious forward, there is no regret medicine in the world, nothing can start over these truths.

Therefore, Fan Ping'an looked at the many chess software on his mobile phone, and his mind was constantly thinking.

He didn't want to be a greedy person, and he was afraid that the decisions he made at will make him lose everything he has now.

At this time, he was like a helpless pawn crossing the river on the chessboard, with no way out, facing the car not far in front of him, his choice was only to sway from side to side.

But he also seems to have forgotten that there is another way to live, and that is to move forward without hesitation.
