The reception banquet was set in a star-rated restaurant, which was hand-picked by Boss Su.

This restaurant specializes in Western-style food, and the chef's skills are also well-known in the capital.

The agreed time was seven o'clock, He Wufei glanced at the wall clock, and the hands just pointed to six o'clock.

So, what kind of trouble are you all going to make when you all come so early?"

Looking at the people who were already sitting at the round table and ready early, He Wufei couldn't help but sigh faintly.

"Aha, there's no way, it's itching, I can't wait!"

"This is the little brother's self-cultivation, Boss is a treat, of course we have to arrive early!"

"That's it, otherwise we will let the boss wait for us?"

Although a group of people are all in suits and leather shoes, they are still giggling and laughing, and none of them are right.

He Wufei really had nothing to do, so he had to walk out of the private room and lean against the corridor to call Su Chengyi.

The other party picked it up quickly.

"Hey."

"Hey, Mr. Yi, are you leaving?"

"Well, driving."

Su Chengyi responded, just in time for a complete red light countdown, and he was lucky.

He drove his own Aston Martin, and a few days before returning to school, he made an appointment with a shipping company in advance to transport it to the capital.

On weekdays, it is parked in the underground garage of the neighborhood where the game studio is located.

The driver who had just troubled Miss Chu went around and sent him over.

"Ah, that's good. Everyone has arrived. ”

He Wufei turned his head and glanced at the private room, where everyone was basically discussing a newly launched RPG game with a high degree of popularity, arguing about a cheat code.

There is such an advantage to working in a game studio, it makes no difference between going to and from work, it is all about researching what you love and love.

"Okay, I'll be there in about half an hour, this point"

Su Chengyi glanced at the long queue in front of him.

The rush hour in the inner ring of the capital is terrifying.

"It's a bit of a block."

"OK, be careful when driving."

He Wufei put his mind at ease.

After Su Chengyi hung up the phone, he went to the restaurant to reconfirm tonight's menu.

Knowing that Su Chengyi came by car, he halved the original drink and replaced it with juice.

By the time we returned to the private room, the conversation had shifted from the game cheat code back to tonight's protagonist.

"Excited hearts, trembling hands, miracles revealed, tonight."

A slightly chubby young man happily picked up the iron fork and tapped the goblet in front of him.

"What miracle?"

He Wufei poured himself a glass of water and raised his head to take a sip.

He was looking forward to it as much as everyone else, but he was looking forward to the dozen drinks that were about to be served.

I've been so busy lately that I can fall asleep with the back of my head on a pillow, and I don't have time to have a few drinks as usual.

It's not even time to fix the bedtime session.

Since a long time ago, he has developed the habit of writing a diary in his head, but it is better to say that it is a diary, it is better to write a text message to Xu Zhihan.

The content is boring, like a running account, that is, talking about what happened today.

Before, the task was very simple, because he hadn't done anything all day.

Move bricks on the construction site, go to buy alcohol when you get your daily salary, and go to bed after drinking.

However, since some time ago, he has found it difficult to finish the work he has done in a day.

This is mostly because Boss Su is a serious shopkeeper, and he has an inexplicable unconditional trust in him, and many important things are handed over to him to deal with, without the slightest intention of asking.

This makes He Wufei feel even more stressed, and everything must be perfect in order to feel at ease.

Therefore, I am worried about drinking and making mistakes, and I haven't touched alcohol for almost a long time.

God knows how difficult this is to achieve for a long-time alcoholic who has been an alcoholic for many years.

He Wufei sometimes wonders, how did he get addicted to alcohol in the first place?

It seems that the original intention was just to get a good night's sleep.

But now you don't need alcohol to get drowsy.

For him, then, wine has become a real "drinking pleasure" thing.

In that case, drink some tonight, not too much, right?

I heard that the wines made in this shop are very fruity and fragrant, and they are very rich.

He Wufei was full of anticipation.

"Ouch, Assistant He, what kind of miracle are you talking about!"

The fat man snorted, obviously blaming him for not understanding the amorous feelings.

He Wufei reluctantly turned his head away and emphasized again.

"Your boss is good at everything, but he is a little afraid of society, don't be too familiar with yourself for a while, and keep your distance."

"Yes, yes."

Everyone nodded like chickens pecking rice.

He Wufei always felt that something was not reliable.

At this time, Dong Yu, who had been silent, also spoke:

"Everyone listened to Assistant He's words. To be honest, you can see it in online chats on weekdays, right?

The boss has a good temper, but he really doesn't talk much, and he doesn't like to chat with water groups.

Jokes are jokes, everyone should be careful not to cross the line. ”

"Roger!"

Seeing that his tone was serious, the employees also put away their hippie smiling faces and nodded solemnly.

He Wufei breathed a sigh of relief at this time, although he was an assistant, but everyone knew that he had a soft ear and a good temper, and basically he didn't have any majesty when he spoke.

But Dong Yu is different.

As the team leader, he is a complete workaholic, with strong professional ability and a relatively upright personality, and many people have been reprimanded by him for mistakes at work.

But he separates work and life very much, and is enthusiastic and righteous in private, so he actually has a good relationship with everyone and has a certain prestige.

In fact, the employees privately named the image of the two "strict father and mother".

For them, He Wufei is simply a male mother, with a very good temper, and treats every employee not only softly at work, but even cares about daily life.

Although Dong Yu looks harsh, in fact, the most difficult and heaviest work he silently resists, and often works overtime until the early hours of the morning alone in order to fix bugs.

With these two leaders in the studio, the atmosphere and efficiency are very good.

He Wufei picked up the cup and touched it with Dong Yu, thanking him for helping to speak.

Dong Yu smiled, lowered his head and took a sip of water.

Honestly, he felt like he was a little more nervous than everyone in the room.

Since the day of the online interview, he has been curious about what kind of person this boss will be in reality.

And when the project "Disco Elysium" was put in front of him, this curiosity intensified.

As a gamer, and an extremely idealistic gamer, the feelings expressed in the game "Disco Elysium" are very poignant.

The ideas contained in it are heavy and romantic.

It was hard for Dong Yu to imagine that these were from a young man who looked to be a few years younger than him.

And these curiosities and doubts will finally be answered after meeting him in person.

"Wu Fei, how did you describe the boss last time?"

In order to relieve the anxiety and tension in his heart, Dong Yu began to ask He Wufei questions again.

“.”

He Wufei almost choked on a mouthful of water.

He'd answered that question at least a dozen times.

However, looking at Dong Yu's uneasy appearance, he still replied again:

"Very young, just going to college, TOP2 universities;

The grades are very good, you can imagine a little more daring at this good level, which is basically the ceiling of all college entrance examination candidates throughout the ages;

Versatile, to be honest, in my perception of him, I don't know what blind spots he has, like a walking encyclopedia;

The personality is relatively quiet, and he talks little, but he has a good heart and likes to help others;

In addition, compared to the online videos I have seen, I am more handsome. ”

He Wufei was a little embarrassed while describing.

Anyone who listens to these words will think that they are too much sycophant, but these are all facts.

Dong Yu listened to it in his ears, and couldn't help but wonder if He Wufei's filter was too big.

Is there really such a person in reality?

Even if there is, it probably won't be accessible to you.

Dong Yu thought to himself, after playing Earth Online for almost thirty years, he came to the conclusion that the probability of NPCs meeting the protagonist is still very small.

At this time, as if to respond to his suspicion, a male voice came from the door.

"Hello, is this room 888?"

The private room, which was still noisy just now, was quiet in an instant, and the chaotic exchange of eyes of everyone clearly wrote:

"It must be him."

The sound is slightly softer than it would be in a remote meeting, but it's still easy to recognize.

Dong Yu took a deep breath, urgently clenched his fingers into claws, and straightened his carefully prepared hairstyle.

He Wufei glanced at him, and wanted to remind: Big brother, stop it, your plane head has been scratched into a broom head when you were just anxious.

The man outside the door seemed to be reassured by the waiter, and after a brief pause, the door opened.

The first thing that catches everyone's eye is the hand that pushes open the door.

The fingers are distinct, slender and fair, and the Rolex on the wrist is unassuming, showing the owner's low-key and simple style.

A young man in a retro ink-colored suit pushed the door open and met everyone's eyes.

There was a brief pause in the air in the private room, and he cleared his throat a little uncomfortably.

"Hello everyone."

He Wufei reacted first and got up and pulled out the chair.

The sound of wooden chair legs rubbing against the marble floor pulled the stunned crowd back to reality, and they all stood up one after another.

"Hello boss~"

Dong Yu, who reacted the fastest on weekdays, was a little stunned now, and it took a while to pick up the sentence "Mr. Su is good".

It turns out that it's really not an artificial intelligence projection.

The young man in front of him walked to the edge of the reserved seat and naturally rebuttoned the loosened cufflinks.

He didn't have much expression on his face, but his tone was gentle.

"No need to do that, just sit down."

Everyone looked at each other a few times, but no one dared to sit for a while.

It wasn't until He Wufei took the lead in sitting down and repeated "sit, sit, sit" several times that everyone sat down.

When he lowered his head, Dong Yu quietly swallowed his saliva.

Anyway, although this boss is young and friendly, when you are in the same room with him, you always feel an inexplicable sense of oppression floating in the air.

After thinking about it for a long time, Dong Yu decided to attribute it to his eyes.

The color of his pupils is too dark, and it is very deep when he looks at it, and when he is expressionless, the person who looks at him will be very psychologically stressed.

So the two only looked at each other for a short time, and Dong Yu quickly looked away.

In addition, I don't know if it's because it's not projected through the electronic screen, and it will be more intuitive to see it directly with the naked eye.

In short, I am indeed more handsome than in the video, and this jawline is clearer than his lifeline.

For a long time, there was silence in the private room, and the sound of iron cutlery colliding with each other echoed crisply.

This is what Su Chengyi was most afraid of before pushing the door.

He sighed inwardly.

He Wufei wanted to laugh a little.

A group of people who were so enthusiastic and excited just now really saw me more honest and quieter than the other.

Sure enough, it's a game studio, and the electronic otaku will always have two personalities online and offline.

But not so much, right?

He Wufei thought that he didn't do this when he first met Su Chengyi.

He glanced sideways, and successfully withdrew a helpless look from the other party.

But also, when I met him, he was still a high school student.

Although there is basically no change in appearance, the identity has changed now.

From the perspective of the current employees, this guy is indeed a little oppressive.

Especially when dressed so formally.

At first glance, this suit is extremely luxurious, private high-end customization, I know that it is a reception banquet, and I don't know what an award ceremony is.

Seeing that everyone was lowering their eyebrows, nervous as if a teacher in middle school had selected someone to take the stage to do a question, Su Chengyi raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

If you really can't do it, let's do dry rice.

Knowing that this is a signal for the protagonist to arrive, the long-awaited service raw fish rushes in and begins to serve.

Su Chengyi was poured a glass of grape juice in front of him, and he drove the car today, so he couldn't drink.

This restaurant was recommended by Miss Chu, and it is said that it is very researched in wine, so the grape juice should not be able to drink anywhere.

After the appetizer was served, the waiter left the venue first, and the closing action was very light.

Su Cheng raised his eyes without a trace and looked around.

Good guys, everyone is about to stare the plates in front of them out of the holes.

No one dared to move the chopsticks for a long time.

After being silent for a long time, Su Chengyi picked up the cup, pulled out a chair and stood up.

When he made this move, the others immediately wanted to stand up, but he waved his hand to stop him.

Su Chengyi made a draft in his heart, and then said:

"When we first meet, we may be a little stiff, but that's normal, I can understand that.

So you don't have to force yourself to say something to liven up the atmosphere, it's good to be natural. ”

As soon as he said this, the people who had just brainstormed to ease the awkward atmosphere breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'll skip the self-introduction part first, everyone knows me, but it's the first time they've seen me in reality.

It's similar to the impression everyone left online, I don't talk much, but my personality is actually pretty good, so I don't feel pressured. ”

At this, he lowered his head slightly, revealing a somewhat helpless smile.

"I'm really just a little bit fierce."

This very sincere sentence successfully made everyone laugh, and the atmosphere was finally relaxed, and someone raised the decibel and said:

"What's the matter, our boss is handsome!"

"The most handsome on the surface!"

"Handsome Split Skies!"

Listen to the compliments.

Su Chengyi couldn't hear this, he waved his hand to stop quickly, and continued:

"At today's party, Assistant He said that it was a reception banquet for me to return to the capital, but I think it is more appropriate for us to celebrate the banquet."

"The project of Disco Elysium was not a long project, but the results were better than expected, thanks to the efforts of everyone present.

During this period of time, everyone has volunteered to work a lot of shifts, and I have seen it all. ”

"So, starting this month, everybody's wages are going to increase by 20 percent."

"This is the first milestone for our X1 studio."

Su Chengyi raised his glass.

With the real salary increase and the inspiring toast, the atmosphere was instantly set to a climax, and everyone got up and raised their glasses and said in unison:

"To the first milestone!"

Su Chengyi took a sip of the grape juice in the cup.

Anyway, grapes should be good grapes, but they are so sweet that they are so sweet that they are so sweet that they are sweet to the throat.

No wonder Miss Chu likes it.

Su Chengyi cleared his throat and continued:

"To tell you the truth, it's my first time to set up a studio, and there are still deficiencies in many places, and in terms of experience, I may not be as rich as everyone here, so I hope you can be more tolerant."

You can do this for the first time by building a studio, should you say it or not, it is the real son of luck, Dong Yu thought to himself.

"But my goal is much more than that."

As soon as the conversation changed, Su Chengyi put away a gentle smile.

"I'm going to make the name of X1 Studios thunderous.

Together with your accomplices, you will fulfill the most unrealistic dreams of your childhood.

In the long history of the game industry, we must leave the name of each of us. ”

There was silence all over the place, and He Wufei felt a little numb.

I heard Xu Yang say that Su Chengyi could give a speech, but he didn't believe it yet, after all, this person couldn't hold back a word for half a day on weekdays.

Now he believes.

This ability to incite emotions was simply full, and he saw that the little fat next to him was about to wipe his tears

Sitting here is originally a group of idealistic and second-year young people with the dream of a hot-blooded gamer, and these words are simply heart-piercing.

"Even though the world is pouring out, and I encourage you together."

Su Chengyi raised his glass again.

"Cheers."

Cheers !!

In the staggered manner, the crisp sound of the cups colliding is like a warrior drawing a sword out of its sheath.

Dong Yu took a sip of wine, and his eyes were slightly hot under the influence of alcohol.

Now he was extremely sure that the Young Boss in front of him was the real hero of this world.
