stray

The news of "the two have always had a dispute like brothers" spread like wildfire, and at the morning meeting the next day, Yan Ruizhi obviously felt that the atmosphere in the entire meeting room was not right.

It's hard to say why it's wrong, but everyone's speech and behavior are full of caution.

Except for Hao Shuai and He Nian.

Hao Shuai is simply because he is still awkward, and he has not recovered from Mr. He's real identity and the relationship between the two of them now, coupled with his greasy vigor, he really can't stand it.

So Yan Ruizhi simply waved his hand and pointed at the New Year: "Then you will report the next situation."

"Hey!" He Nian happily accepted the order.

"..." Hao Shuai turned his head away without looking.

"Hiss!" The other employees who witnessed this reaction fell silent.

Only then did Yan Ruizhi see some clues from it, and combined with what happened yesterday, he barely guessed the general idea.

He raised an eyebrow indistinctly.

Although He Nian himself said he didn't mind, no matter which one it was, it would probably cause a lot of commotion if it was brought out.

Thinking of this, Yan Ruizhi felt uncomfortable to be found out that he had nothing to do with it.

"This quarter has been hard." At the end of the morning meeting, he bent his knuckles and tapped the table.

"When this stage is over, let everyone relax, and I'll order coffee for everyone later during the lunch break," Yan Ruizhi said, and called the name of New Year in front of everyone, "Let's go to the one downstairs, Anyway, you went to work before."

He finished pointingly: "Come back and ask me for reimbursement after you buy it."

He Nian was startled after hearing this, and then quickly agreed: "Oh! Okay!"

Hao Shuai's teeth were sore when he heard this, and he also realized that Yan Ruizhi probably didn't want to keep it a secret, so he clicked his tongue twice.

"I ordered Hao Shuai's glass for him. It's a super-large iced Americano, no sugar is allowed." Yan Ruizhi stood up in a good mood, "Okay, let's end the meeting."

He Nian immediately jolted to the back to follow.

As for Hao Shuai's speechless and funny expression and the staff's gradually strange guesses, he didn't care about it anymore.

The annual GGR was held as scheduled.

Because of the large scale, there are many people who pay attention, not to mention the prototype of the game that may be hatched, the release area adopts the form of live broadcast, and some senior players and review bloggers will watch this live broadcast with their fans and discuss with each other Let's see if there will be a dark horse that can ride the dust this year.

I don't know if it was a good deal, but at this GGR, many people mentioned the name of a company in unison.

Game review bloggers and many veteran players who have covered a wide range of fields have communicated on the corresponding social platforms.

"I heard that Hongsheng Games will also come to participate this time, and it is said that they will bring the concept and basic information of "Kabri Planet 3"!"

"I didn't expect this game to have a sequel in my lifetime..."

"Why didn't they invest? It must have come to spark the conversation, right?"

Of course, there are some other voices among the praise and expectations.

"To be reasonable, Hongsheng's first work at the beginning is amazing. Isn't the word-of-mouth and rating of 2 known to everyone?"

"But the scene design of 1 and the previous levels are really unique in these years of games. You can't always deny their strengths, right?"

"Yes, so I decided to give them another chance, maybe they can hand over something good this time."

As a friendly exchange unit, Yan Ruizhi was sitting in the venue. The host had just finished his speech, and Hao Shuai beside him was opening a related topic on a social platform, and chuckled twice as if watching the excitement.

"How many marketing trolls did he find this time?" Hao Shuai swiped the information with his fingers, amazed, "I see that famous blogger with millions of fans before is blowing his mind."

"Then let him show it." Yan Ruizhi sat gracefully, with his hands folded on his lap, carelessly, "Otherwise we would have come here for nothing today."

Hao Shuai turned his head to look at him, and showed the expression of emotion that he often showed these days: "The power of love is really great."

"..." Yan Ruizhi glanced over coldly.

"I mean you have improved a lot, really," Hao Shuai hurriedly finished his explanation, "If you tell me three years ago that you would personally discuss what you said back then on this occasion, I will definitely not believe it."

Yan Ruizhi turned his head back, but his voice was a little softer: "There is nothing you don't believe."

"When it was mentioned back then, you had to pretend that you didn't care and skip it..." Hao Shuai only dared to say half of it, and changed the subject, "So is Xiao He here?"

Yan Ruizhi's expression remained unchanged: "How do I know?"

"Pull it down, why don't you know?" Hao Shuai wanted to say a few more words, but after thinking about it, he found it useless, so he reluctantly endured it.

In fact, Yan Ruizhi was really not sure.

The New Year's attitude these past few days can be described as inattentive. I finally got permission to enter the master bedroom yesterday. I was so happy that I almost didn't sleep all night. I came here for a while and posted a few times, but I could always get stuck in Yan Ruizhi's anger. The critical point, start coaxing people in advance.

In the end, I didn't really suffer a lot by coaxing myself.

It was already late at night when Yan Ruizhi took a shower and lay back on the bed.

"Are you really going tomorrow?" He Nian hugged Yan Ruizhi from behind, his long and powerful forearm tightly caged him within a square inch, and leaned very close, speaking against his back , the voice seemed to come in directly through the ribs, "If you want to go, I will go too."

Yan Ruizhi's back was itchy, and he wanted to push away He Nian's hand on his lower abdomen, but just as he made a move, he was caught by five fingers, so he had no choice but to say, "I'll go and settle the matter and I'll be back."

In fact, he was still a little worried. After all, the last time he celebrated the New Year at the entrance of the hotel, he could do it directly. If something happened if he couldn't control his emotions, he didn't care. He was afraid that the other party would be talked about.

He Nian didn't speak immediately, but he didn't compromise, he just hugged him and didn't let go.

In the end, he had no choice but to ask in another sentence: "Then what do you want to eat tomorrow morning?"

"Small wontons with shepherd's purse downstairs."

"Then tomorrow I..."

"You don't need to get up early, just go down together tomorrow morning," Yan Ruizhi finally let him hold, closed his eyes and called him softly, "Niannian."

"Ok?"

"It's nothing." He smiled softly, and suddenly felt that those worries were completely unnecessary at this moment, imitating what he said before New Year, "I just want to call you."

He Nian was still in a daze, but Yan Ruizhi had already turned over on his own initiative, and the two of them were facing each other.

There was only one dim floor lamp turned on in the room, and He Nian saw a faint warm light in his eyes.

He instantly forgot what he was going to say, only felt the other party shrink into his arms lightly, and then raised his head: "I seem to have forgotten to tell you formally before."

As if he had guessed the next words, He Nian subconsciously held his breath and did not move.

"Although I think you can guess it, but always want to really say it once."

Yan Ruizhi's cheeks were reddish, his voice was no longer the indifference he had just met, and he was a little uncomfortable, but more of the truth and determination that the New Year was within reach: "Happy New Year."

"I'm very grateful for you... for being with me, making me feel that the past is not such a terrible thing." Yan Ruizhi touched the corner of New Year's lips lightly, "I will always work hard to love you. "

He seldom said such words so bluntly. He thought he was ready, but after he finished speaking, his eyes flickered for a moment, and he wanted to lower his head subconsciously.

However, He Nian didn't miss this momentary change in expression, the corners of his eyes were bent down, Yan Ruizhi was embarrassed, so he took an extra step forward, leaned his nose closer, and kissed him intimately.

"I know." He hugged him tightly and raised his voice slightly, "Our Yan is always the best-tempered and gentlest person in the world!"

"..."

Yan Ruizhi kicked the opponent off his body without spoiling the atmosphere.

Not only did he not, but he didn't know if he was pleased by this sentence, and finally smiled as if he couldn't hold back.

His smile used to be very shallow, but at this moment, He Nian could clearly see the upward curve of his lips, the unstoppable smile between his lips and teeth, and the bright eyes shining brightly in the night.

"Okay, Niannian." He said with a smile, and leaned forward to kiss the corner of the other's lips.

"Thank you."

When Yan Ruizhi's thoughts came back from last night, the venue finally got to the point.

Three studios have already shown their new game concepts and related ideas, while Hao Shuai hid aside to secretly watch the live broadcast feedback, and occasionally came to communicate with him in a low voice.

Yan Ruizhi's expression was always calm, the positions of the two of them were not eye-catching, and they didn't speak much when it came to the question-and-answer stage.

However, as the surrounding voices became more and more noisy, the hot topic symbolizing this GGR also came to the scene.

Sure enough, he heard a voice that was fairly familiar, but the sensitivity or disgust he once had was long gone.

When Zhou Hongsheng brought his technicians to the stage together, it really caused quite a commotion. Even the audience on the live broadcast platform increased a lot, and they all began to discuss whether the other party could really bring any surprises this time. New work.

It has to be said that Zhou Hongsheng has always had his own way of superficial skills. He has done a lot of momentum and attracted the attention of everyone in the audience from the very beginning.

Whether it is the entrance with a lot of feelings in the front, or the exhibition stage later, it can be seen that a lot of preparation has been made.

Next comes the presentation stage.

There is no doubt that Zhou Hongsheng's personal participation still has some weight. In the real-time live broadcast comments, many people are already nostalgic for the blockbuster "Planet of Capri".

And he seems to know his own advantages, so he naturally cut into the selling point from the very beginning: "Then since everyone's voice is very high, let me introduce our next key project..."

"I know that some people will say that this is fried rice, but I just don't want to discard such a complete world that many people like," he introduced smoothly and freely, "so we will continue to use the first work. Some levels and settings, and the protagonist 'A Zhou' of the first part will also appear as an easter egg."

Hao Shuai almost didn't swear when he heard the last sentence, and quickly turned his head to look at Yan Ruizhi, and found that he didn't even frown, but just stared fixedly at the person talking above him.

"We will also have more novel settings on other levels. Of course, I think the most worth mentioning is the more novel, open and free worldview." Having said that, Zhou Hongsheng paused, "When the test goes live , everyone will know.”

A highly interactive world means that the difficulty of development increases exponentially, and the manpower and capital required are not small.

In the introduction that follows, on the spot or online, many people have already started to be tempted by these words.

"Although it sounds very difficult, if it can be made, it may beat most of the works on the market, right?"

"No wonder everyone of his size has to come here. It's really a big project."

"To be honest, there are too many people making quick money now, and there are quite a few employers here today. I think there are already a few companies that are interested in contacting them."

Seeing that the atmosphere was heated up, Zhou Hongsheng on the stage was beaming with joy. Everything was completely as expected. He suppressed his excitement and calmly said, "Then it's time for Q&A. If you have any ideas or curiosity, you can... "

Before the words were finished, interested people began to ask questions.

Simultaneously, the comments on the live broadcast platform also began to increase sharply. Although there are also doubts about whether the finished product will be greatly discounted compared with the plan, most of them are expectations and imaginations, and even fans of the first work have already started to joke. How lively is the manual Art Investment Company.

"Will there be more progress in the operating system? Will there be more customs clearance gameplay and branch lines?"

"This time you are ambitious, are you really planning to make an epoch-making work?"

"Have you considered the player's acceptance? If the threshold is too high, may some sinking players be lost?"

Hao Shuai just felt that such an atmosphere was uncomfortable and out of place, and just wanted to ask Yan Ruizhi to leave if he couldn't stand it. Anyway, Zhou Hongsheng just approved the project, and there are other ways to make him unable to do it.

He was about to put away his cell phone to call him, when he suddenly saw the person sitting next to him raise his hand.

Then I heard the other party's voice——

"Then may I ask Mr. Zhou, how long are you planning to develop this time?"

It stands to reason that this is not a tricky question, but everyone saw that the faces of the people on the stage changed, and they paused for a moment before forcing a smile: "After it is finalized with the R&D team, it will be announced at that time."

"Really." Yan Ruizhi was still sitting on the seat, quietly looking at the people on the stage, "Since there is no specific time division, why can Mr. Zhou stand here so firmly?"

If someone else asked this sentence, it might have a provocative tone, but he didn't, and his tone was calm and calm throughout the whole process, as if he was really just curious.

And because of the silence at this moment, the camera lens at the scene also chased after him.

Behind Zhou Hongsheng was an enlarged curtain, which clearly reflected the questioner at this moment.

He has superior eyebrows and a calm posture, with his hands folded on his lap, his chin raised slightly, and the corners of his lips curled up to look at the people on the stage without evasiveness.

And because it was magnified several times, Zhou Hongsheng's self-confidence at the beginning seemed to be taken away, standing in front of the curtain seemed to be shrouded, making him appear small.

Although Yan Ruizhi did not attend such occasions many times, due to the large number of people watching, people gradually recognized him in the venue and online.

"This is……"

"It seems to be the founder of Youyu Technology!"

"Really? Looks so young..."

"Then I can finally say that although some people have been saying that Zhou Hongsheng is going to make an epoch-making work, but no matter how popular the planet Capri was, it will not be able to catch up with the later "Nostalgia"?"

"So he's sitting here looking for the patron's father?"

Zhou Hongsheng reluctantly smiled, but did not answer the previous question: "Is Mr. Yan also interested in this project?"

"Of course." Yan Ruizhi said lightly.

After all, Zhou Hongsheng has been with him for a while, and he thinks that he can understand Yan Ruizhi's character to some extent, and habitually thinks that it is impossible for him to mention the events of the past, so it may be true that he is sitting here so calmly now. There have been changes.

He regained his former freedom: "Then if you are interested, I will personally invite you after the end."

Yan Ruizhi's posture remained unchanged, still looking at her.

"I'm very happy. I didn't expect that after so many years, we can still cooperate as before..." Zhou Hongsheng smiled, but deliberately leaked information and said intriguing words.

As soon as this sentence came out, the wind direction both on site and online changed.

"What is this? So they mean to cooperate?"

"Strong alliance! I'm looking forward to it!"

"What I care about is that the bosses of these two companies are actually old acquaintances? Why have they never heard of it before?"

Zhou Hongsheng looked at

Although he didn't know why Yan Ruizhi suddenly appeared here, he knew that according to the previous practice, Yan Ruizhi hated his relationship with him being mentioned the most.

He met Yan Xue and confirmed it from the other party.

In short, since he wants to speak, he can also take the opportunity to threaten...

"Cooperation?"

"What kind of cooperation?" Before Zhou Hongsheng could figure it out, Yan Ruizhi had already opened his mouth, "Does it mean that I give you all the data I worked hard on, and turn around and steal it and then use my own name to list it?"

The voice of the last sentence became heavier, and each word was heard clearly in everyone's ears.

The whole venue fell silent instantly.

The online platform seemed to froze, and it took a second before a series of unbelievable question marks and exclamation points began to be issued.

Even Hao Shuai was stunned. He originally thought that Yan Ruizhi was just watching the fun, but he never thought that the other party really didn't turn a corner at all, and just threw out a sentence of Wang Bo.

Zhou Hongsheng's face turned pale: "Mr. Yan, I don't know—"

"You don't know what I'm talking about?" Yan Ruizhi looked at him with a smile, still looking calm, but it made him break out in a cold sweat.

"My company's official website has sorted out the relevant information, from the overall style to the level interaction, from the time I typed the first number for the first time, to the date you sent the first test behind my back, there are comparisons one by one," The expression on his face has not changed from before, "If there is no accident, it should have just been sent out now."

"I know Mr. Zhou must not have time to surf the Internet right now, and it's okay, so let me ask you a question." His eyes finally became sharper, "As long as you can recount the initial thinking and deduction of any level on the planet Capri, I will I won't ask any more questions."

"Mr. Zhou," Yan Ruizhi leaned on the back of the chair and looked at him without hesitation, "Can you tell?"

After a short period of silence, the people around had already begun to discuss.

"Mr. Zhou, is it really related to you?"

"This is your masterpiece, it should be easy to say, right?"

"So it's true that you used this to make cakes because of poor business conditions?"

The online people are more straightforward. Someone has already followed Yan Ruizhi's words to find the relevant website, which clearly compares the data with the initial time. It is clear and concise, even a layman can understand it at a glance, and there are even Yan Ruizhi's thoughts and ideas written on the school manuscript paper in the early years pointed to the origin of the most primitive "Kabri Planet".

The evaluation bloggers who had been talking about their anticipation suddenly lost their voices collectively. Although some players still insisted that this incident broke out in such a short period of time, there must be something hidden, but the atmosphere of the entire venue has completely changed.

What makes everyone even more puzzled is that since it is not difficult to expose this matter, why did it come out now?

Zhou Hongsheng was about to lose his footing, but he knew he couldn't just fall down in this place, so he politely said, "Perhaps there is some misunderstanding, Mr. Yan..."

"Of course, the time may not be enough to sort it out in a hurry. If there is any misunderstanding, you are welcome to visit." Yan Ruizhi said indifferently.

He stood up from his seat and didn't plan to stay here any longer: "As for that game, it's already your work, and I don't bother to ask for it back."

Hao Shuai hurriedly followed. It was the first time that he accompanied someone in such a limelight, but he still didn't realize it.

But the people on the stage are not so easy.

At this moment, Zhou Hongsheng is still the focus of the audience, and everyone's eyes are on him, but everything has changed a long time ago, and it is not what he originally imagined.

He opened his mouth and tried to force a smile. This was his chance to stand up. He finally made so many preparations. As long as he still has investment, he can still have the confidence to revitalize himself.

What's more, ambiguous borrowing and plagiarism incidents emerge in endlessly in the entertainment industry. As long as there is financial support, public opinion is sometimes not that important.

He took a breath and decided to put his hopes on attracting investment.

Zhou Hongsheng turned a blind eye to the discussions in the audience, pretending to be calm and intending to continue.

But before he could speak, he heard another voice——

"Then since the results of the comparison are clear, it's meaningless to read on."

As soon as he looked up, he saw a person standing up from the other side, looking at him casually and saying.

This face is not familiar, but it does not prevent him from being impressed - isn't this the young man who was at the entrance of the hotel before and finally made a move?

Judging from this posture, it is estimated that one of Yan Rui also came together.

Perhaps it was because of the pent-up backlog just now, Zhou Hongsheng couldn't help but still sneered: "What do you know as a student?"

I don't know if it was his illusion, but he suddenly felt that the air pressure around him dropped a bit.

Zhou Hongsheng could hardly control his emotions, so Yan Ruizhi was fine, why should a little pawn who is unknown and offended him point out here?

As a result, the person beside him reminded him in a low voice: "Stop talking, he is—"

He raised his eyes angrily.

Only then did he see clearly the ID card on the table when the man stood up just now.

On it was written his greatest expectation, his only chance to turn around, and his last sweet dream.

With a bang, it all shattered.

【Fengjin Group, Happy New Year】

What little-known students, what poor and white children...

Zhou Hongsheng felt cold all over, but the other party had already walked to the door gracefully, even graciously ignoring his words, and smiled briskly at him.

The scene at that time appeared in front of his eyes, and when he was pulled away by someone, he said that it was impossible to let him go——

At that time, the young man smiled coldly, and only said: "Okay, I'll wait."

After leaving the venue, Yan Ruizhi didn't wait in the lobby for 2 minutes, when he heard a familiar footstep, trotting and calling him: "Mr. Yan!"

He stopped and turned around, and sure enough, he saw He Nian running towards him impatiently, waving his hands.

When he walked in front of him, Yan Ruizhi patted his clothes and said, "Keep your voice down, you are not an ordinary college student now."

"What's the difference?" He Nian smiled and grabbed his shoulder.

"How do you know I'm waiting for you here?" Yan Ruizhi walked out with him.

"It's all the same," He Nian said, "How do you know that I will catch up soon?"

The answers to the two questions were obvious, and no one spoke again. They looked at each other and chuckled again.

Hao Shuai clicked his tongue and looked away expressionlessly not far away.

Just about to go back, there was another sound of footsteps——

This time, it was the person who was talking on stage half an hour ago.

Zhou Hongsheng's entire face was pale, and he didn't seem to care about the aftermath in the arena, he just chased after him blindly: "Yan Ruizhi, don't leave yet!"

"I was wrong, I was wrong from the beginning, I actually once regarded you as a friend, really, at least it didn't change at the beginning, I admit that I was really obsessed with ghosts in the end, I shouldn't take those data, I shouldn't tamper with it at will ..."

Yan Ruizhi looked at him quietly.

Anyway, this was the first time Zhou Hongsheng apologized to him so earnestly and humblely.

Finally, he did not quibble about what happened back then, finally admitted his despicableness, and finally recounted those crimes.

He thought many times about how he might feel when he saw this scene.

Maybe angry, maybe ridiculed and relieved, maybe...

But now he doesn't have those extra thoughts.

He tugged on He Nian's sleeve and said softly, "Let's go."

"Oh!"

Zhou Hongsheng finally turned into a regretful plea: "It's all my fault, I know that all of this is the retribution I should bear, I—"

"You are right." The person who heard these words stopped and turned around, "I will keep the follow-up accountability, but I will not do anything else."

Yan Ruizhi looked at him condescendingly, talking to Zhou Hongsheng as if talking to himself.

"Are you disappointed that you and Yan Xue didn't ruin my life?"
