MTL - After Playing the Fool and Marrying the Blind Villain [Transmigration]-Chapter 78
Not long after the bedside alarm clock rang, Bo Yueming, who woke up easily, quickly turned it off.
He frowned for four or five seconds, and after forcibly driving away his drowsiness, he reconfirmed the time on his phone—
Eight in the morning.
Bo Yueming exhaled lightly, and turned his attention back to the warm blanket.
The lover leaned against his arms as always, most of his face was buried in the thick quilt, only a little curled hair was exposed, which was uniquely cute.
"kitten."
Bo Yueming stroked his lover's hair, doting on him with a smile, "Wake up."
Pei Yihui, who was half-asleep and half-awake by the alarm clock, made a mistake, turned her back immediately, and muttered begging for mercy, "I won't come, I won't come..."
"People, people are going to be crippled, I really can't hold it anymore..."
"..."
Bo Yueming laughed helplessly, and approached him again to tease, "Let me see, where is it useless?"
Pei Yi shrank back under the quilt, hiding even more fiercely and raving, "No, no, no, you are amazing, but I can't."
Bo Yueming lifted the quilt a little, and kissed his lover's red earlobe, "Hey, I'm not kidding you, it's time to get up, didn't you say that today is the first day of work in the new year, and you have a studio meeting?"
This half-month annual leave, whether long or short, caused Bo Yueming to mess up his biological clock for the first time in his life.
But he kept his lover's explanation in mind, so he set the alarm clock at eight o'clock last night before going to bed.
"Have a meeting?"
Pei Yi's "career dna" lurking in his bones was finally restarted, and he organized his reason to return.
He opened his eyes in a daze, confirmed the situation in front of him, and then moved back into Bo Yueming's arms, "It's all your fault."
Bo Yueming couldn't help laughing, "Huh?"
Pei Yi felt the soreness coming from all parts of her body, and complained in a low voice, "If you are broken, you will pay for it? There is no good place in the whole body."
He played a joke on the night of Xiaonian, but the other party took it seriously.
From the very beginning to the few days before the year, the two of them were still able to exercise restraint. During the day, they went downstairs to walk the cat, and went to Mrs. Bo's main house for a meal.
Until New Year's Eve and the Chinese New Year is over—
Pei Yi usually understood the profound meaning of the words "disaster comes from the mouth" for the first time, but she indulged in the other party's caress again and again.
Yeye was asked to have an empty head, begging for mercy.
It was rare for Bo Yueming not to agree with his remarks, "Mr. Xiao, when was the time when I told you not to recruit, you could listen to it? Didn't I give you time to rest these two days?"
After the little trouble yesterday morning, the afternoon and evening are normal bedtimes.
Pei Yi neither listened nor admitted, "Anyway, it's not my fault anyway."
Bo Yueming said, "Okay, my fault."
Pei Yi's eyelids drooped and she couldn't open her eyes. She was acting coquettishly or joking, "Mr. Bo, I don't want to work hard anymore. You can earn money to support me."
"Okay." Bo Yueming knew it was a joke, but he responded cooperatively.
Pei Yi hummed happily, "What time is it?"
"Ten past eight."
Bo Yueming patted his shoulder twice again, patiently said, "Little cat, it's really time to get up, or do you want me to call you to ask for leave, the reason for asking for leave is-"
"No, no leave!"
Pei Yi stubbornly sat up from the quilt, and from the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of the inspector who was sleeping comfortably in the cat's nest, and immediately slumped on Bo Yueming's body unbalanced.
"Second brother."
Bo Yueming saw his appearance as a "difficult to get up", he still pampered him, "I'll take you to wash up, okay? You'll wake up a lot later."
Pei Yi nodded hastily, "Yes."
Before wearing books, it was difficult for Pei Yi to get up early during the day because he stayed up late to build games, but every time he had a serious job during the day, he would still force himself to get up and wash up.
Unexpectedly, after dating Bo Yueming for a few months, he completely became an early-rising lazybones.
Pei Yi hooked his lover's shoulder accurately, and suddenly remembered a ridicule that he had seen on the Internet before—
Being pampered in love makes people have no arms or legs!
After Bo Yueming announced that he had recovered his eyesight, the old driver Fu had more free time, not because of anything else, but because his boss liked to personally send his little gentleman to work.
The car stopped again outside the main entrance of the building where the studio was located.
"Thank you, Master Bo, for your hard work."
Pei Yi smiled and unbuttoned her seat belt, and asked casually, "Second brother, I think I have to hurry up and take the driver's license test, what do you think?"
The original owner has been stupid for so many years, and he doesn't have many ordinary "skill certificates". Even the education was bought for him by old man Pei in order not to lose face.
Of course, Pei Yi does not agree with this approach, but fortunately, his own knowledge reserves are still sufficient.
I really want to learn new things, and I can spend this time.
Bo Yueming replied, "It depends on your own wishes. Even if you find it troublesome and don't want to take the test, it's okay. I'll take you wherever you want to go. If not, there will be old Fu."
"Okay, let's wait for this period of time." Pei Yi looked at the phone, it was 8:55, "I'll go up first."
Anyway, it's the first time to start work this year, so I can't be late in front of many employees.
Bo Yueming quickly grabbed his hand, leaned over and kissed him lightly, "Go, call me if you have anything to do."
"Um."
Pei Yi got out of the car and hurried into the building.
The elevator room went up from the first floor to the first floor. As soon as the door opened, Pei Yi met Li Yu'an who was inside.
I haven't seen him for a while, Li Yu'an obviously has more cheeks, and the wolf's tail that the other party had long years ago has also been cut short, but the ball is small, and it looks a little cute as always.
Pei Yi and his friend smiled at each other, and walked in, "Mr. Li, why are you stepping on the spot today?"
Li Yu'an covered his lips in a strange way, and explained vaguely, "It's a bit of a traffic jam."
Pei Yi raised her eyebrows slightly, and her eyes fell on his right foot unconsciously, "Is it better? Did you drive by yourself this morning?"
"Having rested for half a month, I feel much better."
Li Yu'an only answered the first half of the sentence, and then changed the subject deliberately to himself in the elevator mirror, "Pei Yi, do you think I'm getting fatter?"
Pei Yi nodded cooperatively, "Well, my cheeks have improved a bit, which is pretty good."
Li Yu'an said that half was hidden and half was hidden, "During the half month of the Chinese New Year holiday, my eldest brother will send me stewed soup and food supplements every two days."
Especially Tonggu soup and hoof flower soup, every time a big pot was filled, he couldn't exercise, and he gained a lot of weight in just half a month.
These remarks are "disgusting" on the surface, but there is more intimacy hidden in them.
Pei Yi joked, "What? Brother only brought you food? I'll send him a WeChat message right now."
As he said that, he really opened Qin Yishun's WeChat account without being polite at all, and poked a sentence——
"Brother, you are biased and only deliver food to Liyuan."
Then, in front of Li Yu'an, she sent this WeChat message.
Li Yu'an laughed and complained, "Childish."
The elevator stopped at the floor of the ywy studio.
The two restrained their jokes and stepped into the studio one after the other.
Xiang Nansheng and Lou Yang, who hadn't seen each other for a long time, were sharing materials. The latter saw the two titular "bosses" and greeted them with a smile.
"It's finally here, happy new year."
"Sister Yang, Brother Xiang, long time no see." Pei Yi took the initiative to answer, "Especially Brother Xiang, the Chinese New Year has been hard."
Xiang Nansheng put on his black-rimmed glasses and signaled calmly, "It's not hard, it should be."
Li Yu'an confirmed the time, "The team leaders of all departments are ready, we will have a meeting in half an hour."
"Okay, Mr. Li."
The harmony sounded.
Pei Yi felt Li Yu'an's gradually exuding confidence, and responded with hooked shoulders, "Okay, Mr. Li."
Li Yu'an replied to him in public, "Mr. Xiao Yi, don't come here."
Laughter came one after another, and the atmosphere in the studio was very relaxed. Lou Yang and Xiang Nansheng looked at each other, and they both had the same thought in their hearts—
Compared with the kind of game production studio where the top and bottom positions are obvious and the boss is strict, this kind of atmosphere can most stimulate the enthusiasm of employees.
…
Half an hour later, the meeting began.
The content of the first meeting at the beginning of the year is very clear. First, it summarizes the holiday data of the "Der Fog 10" version, and then clarifies the monthly preparation content of the "Der Fog 20" mobile game version.
There are only four months left before the mobile game they originally planned to launch in June.
However, as early as when the studio started version 10, Pei Yi and Lou Yang simultaneously refined the npc characters and the story structure, and one-third of the project had been completed.
"My suggestion here is to recruit two or three more technical programmers as soon as possible to share the work pressure."
As the technical director, Xiang Nansheng said bluntly, "In addition, the servers in our studio need to be greatly expanded."
& Compared with the 10 stand-alone version of the mobile game, the interactive experience will be greatly enhanced, and the data information processing will be cumbersome and complicated.
The server expansion and increase are not only for the 20th mobile game preparation, but also for the future online game 30th.
When Xiang Nansheng was still at Youming Studio, their most popular mobile game "Looking for Another World" was completely crashed because the server was out of service, which caused a large number of players to drop offline, freeze and other problems.
It was because of this opportunity that Xiang Nansheng and Ke Ming fell apart. The former did not want to encounter such problems in his new job.
Pei Yi's style of painting is always serious during meetings and work, "Director Xiang, don't worry, Mr. Li and I will find someone to implement these two points as soon as possible."
He looked around, "If there is no problem, let's end the meeting here, everyone has worked hard."
Before they knew it, they had already had a two-hour meeting.
Li Yu'an remembered something, and added, "The others can leave, Director Lou and Director Xiang will stay for a while."
In contrast, they are the real core components of the entire studio.
Soon, there were only four of them left in the conference room.
Pei Yi looked at her friend beside her, "Liyuan, what's wrong?"
"I have something I want to discuss with you—"
Li Yu'an connected his computer to the screen projection, and opened the entry page that had already been saved, "Here, take a look."
Pei Yi carefully stared at the big characters on the top of the homepage, "Huaguo Original Game Design Competition?"
Li Yu'an nodded and explained his thoughts, "Should we take "The Last Mist 20" and try it out in advance?"
Pei Yi and Lou Yang happened to meet their eyes, and they saw confusion in each other's eyes.
One of them is a book walker, and the other stays overseas all the year round, so they are not familiar with the events in the Chinese game circle.
Xiang Nansheng is the most familiar with this competition among them, and he took the initiative to say, "This original game design competition has been in operation for seven years. It is currently the most valuable original game award in the Huaguo game circle. There are three places for each session."
"Almost all of the hottest games on the market have participated in this event and won awards, and there will be free project funds as support in the future."
High gold content, high player trust, and good benefits after winning the prize.
Two years ago, Xiang Nansheng and Ke Ming participated in the sixth selection with "Looking for Another World", but unfortunately they lost in the final round of selection of "Three out of five".
Even so, Ke Ming took the title of "Top 5 finalists in the Huaguo Independent Game Design Competition", and he still played the game "Looking for Another World".
It can be seen that even if there is no award, it is a good thing to be shortlisted until the last moment.
"If we can participate in the competition and win prizes, then we will be able to have an extra promotional topic in the operation of the "End Mist" project. Is this the idea of Liyuan?"
There were no outsiders for a while, and none of the four were polite in terms of address.
Li Yu'an nodded, "Brother Xiang is right!"
"After all, our studio is newly established, and we still don't lack reputation inside and outside the circle. No matter how powerful "The Last Mist 10" is, most players can't remember our studio."
Since they are not backed by original games from top companies, they must find a way to create titles and achievements for themselves.
Li Yuan looked around, and finally locked his eyes on his friend, "Our game can be exposed step by step after it goes online, but since there is a chance to create exposure in advance, why don't you give it a try?"
Pei Yi's eyes flickered slightly, "Who said we won't try? Didn't I just know this? Since it's a competition, there should be a registration deadline and process?"
"As of the tenth day of the day after tomorrow, 20 participating games will be screened out within a week, and an invitation letter will be sent to the producer."
The location of the competition is set in Haishi every year. There will be an exchange conference first, then a screening mechanism, and finally the award winners will be announced, and subsequent exposure support will be provided.
Pei Yi got a general idea, and said with certainty, "Then hurry up and sign up. When you are shortlisted, Liyuan and I will take a trip to Haishi."
Lou Yang asked with a smile, "You are so confident that you can be shortlisted? Are you afraid that you will be eliminated in the first screening?"
Faced with the jokes, Pei Yi's face was not lacking in confidence, "Sister Yang, we are rushing to win the prize."
They have worked hard for such a long time, if they are eliminated in the first screening, then the entire studio will have to change careers early.
What Lou Yang admired the most was Pei Yi's wild self-confidence, and he responded, "Well, we are rushing to win the prize!"
Pei Yi heard the movement outside the meeting room, and suddenly changed her words cutely, "Okay, before we win the prize, let's fill our stomachs first, I'm hungry."
Li Yuan closed the computer and quickly said, "I agree."
…
& The studio's information and certificates are very complete, including the settings of the game itself of "End Mist", so the registration is very smooth.
However, within a week, Pei Yi learned the news of his successful nomination from his friend.
Bo Yueming next to him said, "What are you laughing at? Is the hoof flower soup that Boss Qin brought you so delicious?"
"Of course it's delicious, try it—"
Pei Yi approached with a small bowl, and took the initiative to feed his lover, "But I didn't laugh because of this."
Bo Yueming drank the fresh soup, "What are you laughing at?"
Pei Yi briefly explained how the game was entered and was shortlisted before mentioning the main point, "Liyuan and I will go to Haishi in two days."
Bo Yueming's eyes changed slightly, and he asked in detail, "When? How many days?"
"Um…"
Pei Yi thought about the specific date, "Leave this Sunday and come back next Friday. It may take five or six days to go back and forth."
"..."
Bo Yueming was slightly silent when he heard this time.
Pei Yi put down the soup bowl and asked uncertainly, "Second brother, don't you want me to go?"
"No, you are willing to pursue career advancement, of course I support it." Bo Yueming was afraid that he would misunderstand, and explained seriously, "It's just that during this time period, I can't go with you."
Mrs. Bo's health was not as good as before after her illness, and the big house was uprooted again. The position of chairman of the Bo Group was temporarily handed over to Bo Yueming.
As for the position of the general manager was completely handed over to Bo Jiao, and Bo Wang, who had just joined the group, changed his spoiled temper and started from project assistance.
The new official took office three times, and Bo Yueming was very busy during this time.
Pei Yi chuckled, "You have your career, and I have mine, so I don't need you to accompany me."
Bo Yueming said what was in his heart, "I'm afraid you will be in danger."
He really didn't want to experience those accidents and fears in the past for a third time.
"Second brother." Pei Yi held Bo Yueming's face straight, and repeated every word, "I'm here to participate in the game conference, not to fight for the assets of some wealthy family. How can something happen so easily?"
"Liyuan stayed with me the whole time, and the organizer also has security measures in place."
Bo Yueming knew this truth, and said in an inaudible low voice, "Yes."
Pei Yi saw that her lover still had scruples in her heart, so she consciously raised her hand and said, "Second brother, I will send you a message every morning, noon and night to report your safety?"
"it is necessary."
Bo Yueming pinched Pei Yi's earlobe lightly, and discussed with him, "Little cat, let me talk to Mr. Qin about the situation, and ask the STS Haishi Branch to send two people to protect you secretly, okay?"
Pei Yi originally wanted to say that it was not necessary, but when Bo Yueming looked worried and pleading, he could only agree, "Okay."
After speaking, he leaned forward and kissed the person in front of him, "Second brother, don't worry, I will be fine."
"Um."
…
The Huaguo Original Game Design Competition has received policy support from relevant departments and has been held for the eighth time in a row.
This year's organizers have increased their investment and directly contracted the air tickets and hotel accommodation expenses of various game producers.
The flight arrived at Haishi Airport at 8:30 in the evening.
Pei Yi put on her mask and peaked cap again, and walked to the airport with her friends.
Taking advantage of this walking time, Pei Yi confessed, "Liyuan, this time in Haishi, you still call me the game ID."
"The less people know my real name, the less people know it."
Li Yu'an responded with a smile, "I know, haven't you explained it to me a long time ago? I even filled in your English id in the name I handed over to the organizer."
The Huaguo game circle is all-encompassing. Many game masters have been using nicknames to mix circles. The competition organizers have not imposed any restrictions on this area.
Li Yu'an asked again, "Why don't you want to reveal your real name?"
Pei Yi replied, "There's no particular reason, it's just that I'm used to using the id of will to mix circles, and maybe everyone is relatively familiar with it."
So far, the games developed by Pei Yi have filled in this id in the production column, and there has been a small wave of popularity on Weibo and game forums before.
In the exchange event where the players are both players, it is more convenient to take out the id.
Besides, Pei Yi deliberately kept—
He and Bo Yueming are lovers, and the latter is temporarily the top executive chairman of the Bo Group.
Such a "rich family" status is too open, and people may be jealous and framed by those who want to.
Since it is a career, in terms of family background, more things are worse than less things.
As soon as the two walked out of the pick-up gate, they saw the staff sent by the organizer holding a banner to pick up the plane. The two sides introduced themselves briefly, and then headed towards the five-star hotel they booked.
Pei Yi asked about the business in the car, "Xiao Chen, may I ask, is the list of the shortlisted games and producers out this time?"
"The organizer intends to officially reveal the secret at the opening ceremony tomorrow morning."
The staff member Xiao Chen replied while driving, "But I didn't hide it on purpose—"
"Tomorrow morning is the opening ceremony. Except for those from Haishi, other game producers from other places have already checked into the hotels arranged by us."
"Teacher Will, and Mr. Li, maybe you will meet some game masters you know or who are familiar with id later."
"Um."
Pei Yi and Li Yu'an looked at each other, and they saw expectations in each other's eyes.
In this kind of exchange competition, the first place is exchange learning, and the second place is the competition award.
…
It was almost ten o'clock when we arrived at the hotel and checked in.
"Teachers, I won't follow you up. You should rest well tonight. If you need anything, you can contact me on WeChat at any time."
Xiao Chen's footsteps stopped at the elevator door, and he remembered something again, "By the way, there is a 24-hour buffet on the eighth floor of the hotel, and you can enter by reporting your room number."
Li Yu'an nodded, "Thank you for your hard work."
…
The double room in a star-rated hotel is fairly spacious and tidy. Pei Yi put down her luggage and invited, "Liyuan, go down and have some food?"
Anyway, he has been in bed all the time, so he won't be able to sleep early tonight.
Li Yu'an also felt hungry, "Okay."
The two reached an agreement and left the room.
Pei Yi picked up her mobile phone while walking, "I'll report my family's safety."
Li Yu'an pretended to be disgusted, "Be careful watching the phone fall on the ground."
Pei Yi snorted, her eyes stayed on the phone, and she tapped her fingertips quickly—
"Second brother, I've arrived at the hotel, everything is going well, now I plan to have some supper at the hotel restaurant with Li Yuan."
"By the way, this is the address and room of the hotel. You are welcome to send someone to check the post at any time."
The message on WeChat came very quickly, it seemed that Bo Yue was waiting for him to send the message—
"Don't eat too much, be careful of food accumulation at night, and your stomach will feel uncomfortable. If you can't sleep, just take out my coat."
Pei Yi's cheeks burned when she saw the second half of the sentence.
He glanced at his friend secretly, for fear of being caught by the other party.
It's always difficult for Pei Yi to fall asleep in a strange bed, but it's too exaggerated to wear a quilt cover for less than a week on a business trip—
So, when he was packing his luggage last night, he secretly stuffed a thin and bright coat, thinking that he would put it next to the pillow or under the quilt when he slept, so that he could fall asleep with a more familiar sense of stability.
The phone vibrated again, and Bo Yueming on the other side of the screen sent a photo of the inspector sleeping soundly.
Since the two were together, the inspector could only sleep in the cat's bed every night, but it was rare to occupy the end of the bed tonight.
"Sir, the inspector misses you very much."
Looking at the jargon that came immediately, Pei Yi understood the deep meaning hidden in it, and a deep smile appeared in her eyes.
"Then tell the inspector for me, I miss him too."
Ding dong—
The elevator doors swung open.
Li Yu'an, who was standing at the front, put down his phone first, and reminded, "It's here."
"Um."
Pei Yi followed her friend out of the elevator door, and suddenly caught a figure around the corner.
Some inexplicably familiar.
