I'm afraid I'm not interested in love

Chapter 569 V You 50
Su Chengyi pushed open the door of X1 Studio and saw some fatigue from work on the faces of the employees for the first time in a long time.

As the end of the year approaches, it is a critical time for major game studios to assess their KPIs. Although rolling is not the style of X1 Game Studio, everyone is still nervous due to the pressure from "friendly competitors" from all walks of life.

Normally at times like this, as soon as Su Chengyi opened the door he would attract everyone's attention, followed by a wave of joyful welcome.

But today, everyone at their workstations was so busy that no one even had time to look up at him.

Su Chengyi paused and looked down at his watch.

It was six o'clock, half an hour past the end of get off work time.

Su Chengyi took a taxi here after finishing his afternoon class. He originally thought that the studio would not be so busy, but when he entered, he did not expect that it was packed.

As a boss, should I say that I’m a little relieved?
Su Chengyi was thinking about this question when He Wufei came out of the office with a pile of messy folders in his arms. When he looked up and saw him, he was quite surprised and wanted to say hello.

Su Chengyi reacted quickly and made a "shut up" gesture, quickened his pace through the corridor, raised his hand to open the office door, and motioned him to come in and talk.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Persimmon sleeping on his back in the cat bed. The sound of his snoring was like a small motorcycle passing by with difficulty.

"Didn't you turn on the sun for it today?"

Su Chengyi glanced and saw that the stove was off.

"Well, it's not good to keep it on for too long. Look at the hair on its tail. It's all burnt out."

He Wufei straightened the folder in his hand, sighed and explained.

Su Chengyi looked carefully after hearing what he said, and it was true.

The hair on Persimmon's tail, which always stood proudly high, was now a little burnt, probably because he slept too close to the stove.

Cats are animals that pay great attention to their image. I wonder if they will be angry about this.

Su Chengyi thought about it and decided, forget it, it’s a persimmon cake, it’s probably not smart enough to be angry about its image.

The next second, the phone in my pocket vibrated continuously for several seconds.

Su Chengyi walked to the computer and unlocked the screen.

News from Miss Chu.

“Ahhhhhhh Su Chengyi!!! What should I do!!!”

"I have a very important event today, and then, then, then, the stylist made a mistake and cut a gap in my bangs!!!"

“Oh my god! What should I do? It’s so obvious, woooooo, I’ll take a video of it for you!!”

a photo.

Su Chengyi zoomed in and took a closer look, and sure enough, he saw a triangular defect between Miss Chu's originally neat and tidy bangs.

This defect is not big and you can't see it without careful observation, but it is not so small that it can be completely ignored.

And once you discover it, it will make people feel particularly funny.

Because such a defect suddenly appeared on Miss Chu, whose every cell in her body was perfect, it created a very funny scene.

"Ahhh!! Is it obvious, Su Chengyi?! Is it not that obvious at all, come on and say something."

Miss Chu, who was on the verge of emotional collapse, was still trying to get some comfort.

Su Chengyi suppressed his laughter, closed the photo, and typed a reply:
"Honestly, it's very obvious."

"."

The person on the other side of the screen was silent for dozens of seconds before launching a new round of roars.

"Aaaaaaah!!! Can't you just tell me it's not obvious at all! You straight man, I hate you!!!"

Su Chengyi looked at the tail of the persimmon with interest, raised his hand and took a picture and sent it back.

"It's okay, you still have this silly cat to keep you company."

"Ah?! I'm so scared!"

Chu Qingmian was shocked when he saw the picture, thinking it was a burn or something. After looking at it carefully, he found that it was just a patch of hair that was burnt bald, so he felt relieved.

"He must have gotten burned accidentally while taking a nap. So pitiful."

"Can you please have some pity on yourself first? A young lady with a missing piece of bangs."

"Su Chengyi, how can you type such cold words with a body temperature of 36.5 degrees? I hate you."

After sensing Miss Chu's collapse, Su Chengyi smiled for a long time with gloating, and then replied seriously:

"So how did it get cut so badly? Would a young lady's stylist make such a low-level mistake?"

"That sister didn't do it on purpose. The original person was sick and had the flu, and they were afraid of spreading the disease. So they temporarily arranged a new person to come. She was too nervous and didn't know how to use the tools well. Her hands shook when she was trimming, and she made a mess."

Chu Qingmian obviously had no intention of blaming the stylist, and eighty percent of his words were just excuses.

However, given Wei Pelan's character, he will definitely not let others go easily. After this mistake, he may never have another suitable opportunity in the future.

Su Chengyi was thinking this when Chu Qingmian added:
"I told my mom that it was because I was too sleepy and dozed off, so I nodded my head accidentally, which caused the stylist to make the mistake."

"."

This really is an angel.

Su Chengyi couldn't think of any other words to describe what Miss Chu did. If a working person in the workplace encounters such an understanding and tolerant customer, they would probably be moved to tears.

This was indeed the case. Chu Qingmian said that the sister had already lost all hope and was ready to change her career.

"Where to?"

Su Chengyi asked curiously.

"It seems that he said he was going to change his business to selling fried skewers."

Chu Qingmian said seriously.

“That’s quite an idea.”

Su Chengyi sighed.

"Yes, I said I wanted to try my hand at cooking. No, that's not right!! I haven't changed my career yet!!"

Miss Chu was helpless when she realized that the topic had been diverted.

However, Su Chengyi could probably guess that if Miss Chu had not taken the initiative to take the blame, this unfortunate stylist would not only have no chance in the Chu family, but all her future job opportunities would probably be affected. This is why she herself said that she wanted to change careers, and she was not completely joking.

But fortunately, the person she met was Chu Qingmian.

“So, how do we solve it in the end?”

Su Chengyi asked while typing.

"Well, I put on a wig! How does it work?"

After Chu Qingmian said this, he sent a photo.

The defect just now has been covered by the wig, and Miss Chu has become the perfect Miss Chu again, but the look in her eyes when looking at the camera is pretending to be angry, like a little orange cat with bared teeth and bluffing.

“I don’t see any problem.”

Su Chengyi enlarged the picture, examined it carefully, and gave his conclusion.

"Hehe, I always say that there are more solutions than problems~~"

Miss Chu replied cheerfully.

She must be smiling brightly at this moment. Even through the screen, Su Chengyi could feel a warm current flowing from his fingertips to his chest.

It was not until He Wufei, who was still standing at the door holding the documents, coughed lightly that Su Chengyi realized that he had been leaning against the desk and chatting with Miss Chu for quite a while.

"Excuse me."

Su Chengyi pulled out a chair and sat down without changing his expression. Relying on muscle memory, he pressed the power button on the computer, and the icons on the display lit up.

Something seems wrong.

Su Chengyi stared at the screen in deep thought for a while, and realized why he always felt a little uncomfortable.

He opened the drawer of his desk, took out the Stitch doll lying in the innermost part, and put it back next to the monitor.

It was the one Miss Chu gave me a long time ago.

Right now.

When Chen Jinzhi came to the office before, in order to avoid arousing suspicion, Su Chengyi quietly hid this cute toy that looked very abrupt when he was not paying attention.

He Wufei helplessly held the documents and watched his boss's operation. After sorting out everything, Su Chengyi leaned over and pinched Stitch's belly.

"I love you!"

After confirming that it was still alive and kicking, Su Chengyi sat back up, leaned back in his chair, and asked seriously:

"Okay, what's up?"

He Wufei: "."

Although nothing happened, I always felt like I was being fed a mouthful of dog food.

After a while, he sorted out his thoughts and returned to work.

“It’s like this, boss, you’ve had a lot of time to come to the studio recently, and you’ve reviewed most of the work reports in a timely manner. The development progress of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is hard but acceptable.

The key question now is that our project Disco Elysium has a good chance of winning the Global Game Awards this year. This is not because we are blindly confident, but a conclusion we reached after considering all aspects, including comprehensive scores, public opinions, and forum responses. "

Having said this, He Wufei cleared his throat to hide his joy that was evident in his words.

Recently, the entire studio has been busy with the research and development of the new project "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds". The tense atmosphere has lasted for a long time, but the first project "Disco Elysium" is still shining, which gives everyone a lot of confidence and motivation.

"Ah."

Su Chengyi supported his chin and nodded calmly.

Come to think of it, the annual gaming industry's Oscar selection conference is about to begin.

This can be said to be the award that gamers around the world pay the most attention to, and it is also the most valuable award.

But Su Chengyi was not very nervous.

Because he is an experienced person, that year "Disco Elysium" won four awards, namely Best Independent Game, Best Role-Playing Game, Best Narrative Award, and Best New Independent Game Manufacturer Award. He can be called one of the biggest winners of the night.

The Game of the Year award for the same year was won by Sekiro. That year, everyone was once again dominated by the old thief Hidetaka Miyazaki.

Also nominated for Best Independent Game is Outer Wilds. The fact that Disco Elysium beat Outer Wilds is enough to show its real value.

Su Chengyi's confidence also comes from this, because no matter which year it is released, "Disco Elysium" can be said to be completely worthy of praise.

Therefore, they just need to participate in the election naturally, and the quality and reputation of the game will give them a satisfactory answer.

"Although all signs are good, we cannot slacken our publicity efforts. So as a favorite, we also need to provide promotional videos that will help build momentum."

He Wufei laid out the causes and consequences and put forward the focus of today.

Su Chengyi just thought of this, so he nodded again and replied:

“It is indeed necessary.”

After all, the gaming market is highly competitive, and marketing is one of the simplest and most effective ways to avoid being forgotten.

"Regarding the issue of the promotional video editing team, we do have a few partners we have worked with before, but..."

He Wufei paused and continued:
"Boss, I always feel that it doesn't taste right."

"Ok?"

Su Chengyi tapped the space on the keyboard and asked with a raised eyebrow.

“I always feel that the trailer was more exciting when the demo was first released.

To this day, many up-loaders still use clips from Disco Elysium when promoting the game, and many players often go back to that video to review it. No matter what time you click in, there are almost always people watching.

So, I thought, could I contact that editor again?"

He Wufei explained.

What he said was not an exaggeration. After the trailer was released, the first label attached to X1 Game Studio was "millionaire editor".

Su Chengyi lowered his eyes, raised the corners of his mouth and smiled meaningfully.

"How did you know that I originally wanted to find that master to take on the editing work this time?"

After getting his affirmative answer, He Wufei felt relieved and started to laugh.

"That's great!"

"Ah."

Su Chengyi nodded and motioned for him to take all the folders in his hand first.

Taking off the pen from the document, Su Chengyi did not rush to open the document. Instead, he lowered his head and sent a WeChat message to the legendary editing master.

"Are you there?"

He did not wait for a reply, but simply looked through the documents in his hand and signed the necessary contracts in a casual handwriting.

"Buzz."

The phone vibrated.

The dream of a 900 millionaire: "If you have something to say, just say it."

Su Chengyi thought for a moment and typed:

"Remember when I asked you to help me edit the trailer for Disco Elysium?"

"Remember, I worked all night until five in the morning and almost died of sudden death."

Zou Lian’s reply was full of resentment.

"That's great, Mr. Zou, you have another chance to challenge yourself."

Su Chengyi quickly forwarded the document to him.

On the other side, Zou Lian was tidying up the shelves of a convenience store. He held a water bottle between his elbows and sent a voice message indignantly:

"Can't you ask if I'm free before you send it?! I'm fucking working!"

"You can look at it when you have time. Anyway, this job is left to you."

There was no trace of gratitude in Su Chengyi's tone, he sounded very righteous.

Zou Lian was so angry that he wanted to twist all the water bottles into twists, but when he realized that he would have to pay money for doing so, he gave up and honestly put the water bottles in order.

"Do you want me to work illegally for you?!"

He leaned against the shelf and asked menacingly.

In fact, he doesn't want much money, he just doesn't want his work to appear cheap.

"How come? What's your work WeChat ID?"

Su Chengyi raised his eyes and motioned He Wufei to take his notes.

The other party reacted quickly and immediately took out a mini notebook from his pocket.

Zou Lian replied hesitantly with a string of mysterious codes, and added awkwardly:
"Don't be so self-indulgent and transfer money to this account. I won't accept it. When I go back tonight, send me the materials together. I'll see if I can cut out a rough template after staying up all night."

Su Chengyi didn't rush to reply to his message, but searched it now.

I searched for an account named "L Editing Studio", but it didn't seem to be doing very well, and no one was interested in the ads it posted on WeChat Moments.

Su Chengyi thought about it and drew a few meaningless marks on the paper with the pen in his hand.

“When releasing the new promotional video, promote this L Editing Studio in the appropriate place.”

When he mentioned the word "suitable", he emphasized the words deliberately, and He Wufei quickly understood what he meant.

Generally speaking, as long as the work is outsourced, it is assumed that we will not help with publicity work.

Su Chengyi's words were quite obscure. In fact, he meant to carry out publicity within the circle. This way, the business of this studio would definitely become popular immediately.

Zou Lian certainly knew that the video he edited for "Disco Elysium" was very popular, but even though business was not good, he never thought of using this to promote himself.

Should I say he is stupid or stubborn?
Su Chengyi twirled his pen and typed a reply to the user: The dream of a 900 millionaire woman.

"V you 50, don't be ungrateful."

"Su Chengyi, you bastard!!!"

Before more anger could break the screen and spread, Su Chengyi turned off the phone screen in time and placed the phone face down.

"Wukong, please draft a long-term cooperation contract for me later. It may be useful, but you never know."

Su Chengyi said with a smile.
