I'm afraid I'm not interested in love

Chapter 372 Young Boss
The reception banquet was scheduled at a star-rated restaurant, which was hand-picked by Boss Su.

This restaurant specializes in Western-style meals, and the chef's skills are somewhat famous in the capital.

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

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

Looking at the people sitting at attention at the round table and getting ready early, He Wufei couldn't help but sigh.

"Aha, I can't help it. I feel so itchy that I really can't wait any longer!"

"This is my little brother's self-cultivation. The Boss is treating us, so of course we have to arrive early!"

"That's right, otherwise, why would we let the boss wait for us?"

Although the group of people were all in suits and ties, they were still laughing and joking and not doing anything serious.

He Wufei really had no choice but to walk out of the private room, lean in the corridor and call Su Chengyi.

The task used to be easy because he hadn't done much all day.

"It's a bit congested."

He Wufei turned around and glanced at the private room. Everyone was basically discussing a newly launched RPG game that was very popular, and arguing about a cheat code.

However, starting some time ago, he found that it was difficult to finish talking about what he did in a day.

In that case, it's not too much to drink tonight, right?

But now I can fall asleep without alcohol.

Working in a game studio has such an advantage. There is no difference between work and get off work. You are all studying things you like and are passionate about.

He Wufei felt relieved.

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

"Yeah, driving."

The other party picked up quickly.

Then, wine has become a real "drink and enjoy" thing for him.

"What miracle?"

This made He Wufei feel a lot of pressure, and he had to do everything perfectly to feel at ease.

Moving bricks at the construction site, buying wine after receiving daily wages, and going to bed after drinking.

Therefore, I was worried that drinking would cause trouble, so I almost didn’t touch alcohol for a long time.

"Excited heart, trembling hands, the miracle is revealed, tonight."

He Wufei sometimes wonders how he got addicted to alcohol in the first place.

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

A slightly fat young man cheerfully picked up the iron fork and knocked on the goblet in front of him.

Su Chengyi responded, just in time to catch up with a complete red light countdown, which was very lucky.

"OK, drive carefully."

The peak hours after get off work in the inner ring of Beijing are actually terrifying.

The driver who had just troubled Miss Chu made a circle and sent him there.

When we returned to the private room, everyone's conversation had returned from the game cheat code to tonight's protagonist.

I have been so busy lately that I fall asleep as soon as my head touches the pillow. I don't even have time to have a few drinks as usual.

"Hey."

He has developed the habit of writing a diary in his mind a long time ago, but it is better to say it is a diary than a text message written to Xu Zhihan.

It’s too late to even have a regular routine before going to bed.

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

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

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

It seems that the original intention is just to have a good sleep.

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

This is mostly because my boss Su is a serious hands-off shopkeeper, and he has an inexplicable and unconditional trust in him. Many important matters are handed over to him without any intention of interfering.

Knowing that Su Chengyi was driving here, he halved the drinks he ordered and replaced them with juice.

"Ah, that's good. Everyone is already here."

God knows how difficult an achievement this is for a long-time alcoholic.

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

He Wufei poured himself a glass of water, raised his head and took a sip.

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

I heard that the home-brewed wine in this store is very famous for its fruity and mellow aroma.

He Wufei was full of expectations.

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

The fat man "tsk", obviously blaming him for not understanding the charm.

He Wufei turned his head helplessly and emphasized again.

"Your boss is good at everything, but he's a bit socially intimidated. Don't get too familiar with him in a while, and be sure to keep your distance."

"I know."

Everyone nodded like chickens pecking at rice.

But He Wufei always felt that something was not quite right.

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

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

BOSS has a good temper, but he really doesn't talk much and doesn't like to chat in groups.

Just kidding, just be careful not to cross the line. "

"Roger that!"

Seeing his serious tone, the employees also put away their playful smiles and nodded solemnly.

He Wufei was slightly relieved. Although he was an assistant, everyone knew that he was soft-tempered and had a bad temper. Basically, he didn't speak in a dignified manner.

But Dong Yu is different.

As a team leader, he is a complete workaholic. While he has strong professional abilities, he also has a straightforward and tough personality. Many people have been reprimanded by him for making mistakes at work.

But he keeps his work and life very separate, and he 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 their image as "Strict Father and Loving Mother."

To them, He Wufei is like a male mother. He has a very good temper. He not only treats every employee with a gentle voice at work, but also cares about their daily life.

Although Dong Yu seems to be strict, he actually does the most difficult and heaviest work silently by himself, often working overtime until early in the morning alone to correct 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 him speak.

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

To be honest, he felt like he was actually a little more nervous than everyone here.

From the day of the online interview, he had been curious about what kind of person the Boss would be like in reality.

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

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

The thoughts contained in it are very heavy and very romantic.

It was hard for Dong Yu to imagine that these came from a young man who looked several 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 had answered this question at least a dozen times.

However, seeing Dong Yu fidgeting, he answered again:

“You are very young, you have just entered college, a top 2 university;

The results are very good. This level of excellence is as bold as you can imagine. It is basically the ceiling for all college entrance examination students throughout the ages;

He is versatile, to be honest, in my understanding of him, I don’t know what blind spots he has in knowledge, he is like a walking encyclopedia;

He has a quiet personality and talks little, but he has a good heart and likes to help others;
In addition, compared to the online videos you have seen, I look more handsome. "

He Wufei felt a little ashamed while describing it.

Anyone who hears these words will think that they are too flattering, but these are facts.

Dong Yu listened and couldn't help but wonder if He Wufei's filter was turned on too high.

Are there really such people in reality?
Even if there were, it probably wouldn't be within his reach.

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

At this time, as if to respond to his question, a male voice came from the door. "Hello, is this private room 888?"

The private room that was noisy just now suddenly became quiet, and the glances exchanged by everyone clearly said:

"It must be him."

The sound is slightly softer than during remote meetings, but it is still easy to recognize.

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

He Wufei glanced at him and wanted to remind him: Brother, please stop, your cockroach has been scratched into a broomstick by the time you were so anxious.

The person outside the door seemed to be affirmed by the waiter. After a brief pause, the door opened in response.

The first thing that caught everyone's eyes was the hand pushing open the door.

The fingers have clear joints, are slender and white, and the Rolex on the wrist is unobtrusive, highlighting the owner's low-key and simple style.

A young man in a retro dark suit pushed open the door and met everyone's gaze.

The air in the private room was briefly stagnant, and he cleared his throat uncomfortably.

"Hello everyone."

He Wufei reacted first, stood up and pulled out his chair.

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

"Hello, boss~"

Dong Yu, who usually reacts the fastest, was a little stunned now, and it took him a while to say "Hello, Mr. Su".

It turns out it’s really not artificial intelligence projection.

The young man in front of me walked to the reserved seat and refastened the loosened cufflinks in a natural movement.

There was no expression on his face, but his tone was gentle.

"No need for this, just sit down."

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

It wasn't until He Wufei took the lead to sit down and said "sit, sit, sit" several times before everyone sat down.

When he lowered his head, Dong Yu swallowed quietly.

How to put it this way, 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 for a long time, Dong Yu decided to attribute this to his eyes.

The color of his pupils is too dark, and he looks very deep. When his face is expressionless, the person who looks at him will feel a lot of psychological pressure.

So the two only looked at each other briefly, and Dong Yu quickly looked away.

In addition, I don’t know if it is because it is more intuitive to see it directly with the naked eye without being projected through the electronic screen.

In short, he is indeed more handsome in person than in the video, and his jawline is clearer than his lifeline.

For a long time, there was silence in the private room, and the sound of the accidental collision of iron tableware echoed loudly.

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

He sighed silently in his heart.

He Wufei wanted to laugh a little.

The group of people who had been so enthusiastic and excited just now actually saw themselves becoming more honest and calm than the others.

It is indeed a game studio. Electronic otakus always have two personalities online and offline.

But that’s not the case, right?
He Wufei thought that it wasn't like this when he first met Su Chengyi.

He glanced sideways and successfully retracted the other party's helpless look.

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

Although his appearance remains roughly the same, his identity has now changed.

If you look at it from the perspective of current employees, this guy does feel a little oppressive.

Especially dressed so formally.

At first glance, this suit looked like an extremely luxurious private high-end custom-made suit. Some knew it was a reception banquet, but those who didn't know thought it was some kind of award ceremony.

Seeing everyone lowering their eyebrows and looking down, as nervous as if a teacher in middle school sent people to the stage to do questions, Su Chengyi raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

If it really doesn't work, let's just work on it.

Knowing that this was the signal for the protagonist to arrive, the waiters who had been waiting for a long time filed in and started serving food.

A glass of grape juice was poured in front of Su Chengyi. He drove here today, so he couldn't drink.

This restaurant was recommended by Miss Chu. It is said that she has a lot of research on wine, so the grape juice should not be too hard to drink.

After the appetizers were served, the waiter left first and closed the door very gently.

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

Good guy, everyone is staring at the holes in the dinner plate in front of them.

No one dared to move their chopsticks.

After a long silence, Su Chengyi picked up the cup, pulled out the chair and stood up.

With his movement, the others immediately stood up, but he waved his hand to stop them.

Su Chengyi made a rough draft in his mind and said seriously:

“When you meet someone for the first time, you may be a little nervous, which is normal and I understand.

So you don’t have to force yourself to say something to liven up the atmosphere. It’s good to just be natural. "

As soon as he said this, everyone who had been brainstorming to ease the awkward atmosphere breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'll skip the self-introduction part for now. Everyone knows me, but this is just the first time they see me in real life.

It’s similar to everyone’s impression online. I talk less, but my personality is actually pretty good, so you don’t need to feel pressured. "

Having said this, he lowered his head slightly and showed a helpless smile.

"I'm really just a bit fierce-looking."

This very sincere statement successfully made everyone laugh, and the atmosphere finally became more relaxed. Someone raised the decibel level and said:
"No way, our boss is so handsome!"

"The most handsome man on earth!"

"He's handsome enough to crack the sky!"

Listen to the praise.

Su Chengyi couldn't hear this. He waved his hand to stop and continued:

"Assistant He said that today's party is a welcome banquet for me to return to the capital, but I think our celebration banquet is more appropriate."

“The construction period of the Disco Elysium project was not long, but the results exceeded expectations, thanks to the efforts of everyone present.

During this period of time, everyone has voluntarily put in a lot of overtime, and I see it all. "

"So, starting this month, everyone's salary will be increased by 20%."

"This cup is a toast to our first milestone in X1 Studio."

Su Chengyi raised his glass.

The real salary increase and the inspiring toast brought the atmosphere to a climax in an instant. Everyone stood up to raise their glasses and said in unison:

“Here’s to the first milestone!”

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

How should I put it, the grapes should be very good grapes, but they are too sweet, so sweet that it hurts my throat.

No wonder Miss Chu likes it.

Su Chengyi cleared his throat and continued:
"To be honest, this is my first time setting up a studio, and there are still many shortcomings. In terms of experience, I may not have as much experience as everyone here, so I hope everyone can be tolerant."

To be able to achieve this level when building a studio for the first time, should I say it or not, he is truly a child of luck, Dong Yu thought to himself.

“But my goals are much bigger than that.”

When the conversation changed, Su Chengyi put away his gentle smile.

“I want to make X1 Studio’s name famous.

Together with your fellow conspirators, I want to fulfill my most unrealistic childhood dream.

We must leave each of our names in the long history of the gaming industry. "

The whole place was silent, and He Wufei felt a little numb.

He heard Xu Yang and others say that Su Chengyi could give a speech before, but he didn't quite believe it. After all, this person couldn't hold back a word for a long time on weekdays.

Now he believes it.

This ability to incite emotions was so full that he saw from the corner of his eye that the fat boy next to him was about to wipe his eyes.
The people sitting here are originally a group of idealistic young people in the second grade of middle school with dreams of passionate gamers. These few words are simply heartbreaking.

"Even if the world is full of troubles, I will encourage you to do my best."

Su Chengyi raised his glass again.

"cheers."

"cheers!!!"

As they drank wine, the sound of the cups clashing was like a warrior unsheathing his sword.

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

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