"Mr. Li, it's not that I don't think about it, but that the facts are right in front of me—"
Another calm and sophisticated voice came, asking resignedly, "Since Mr. Li passed away, have you ever woken up from 'Dawn Game'?"
"Yes, I admit that at such a young age, you can still stabilize a company that is on the verge of bankruptcy for three or four years. This perseverance and dedication are remarkable, but I really can't see any development prospects at your dawn."
The person named 'Mr. Yang' paused, and said the cruelest rejection in the calmest tone, "Forgive me for the investment, I can't do anything, I still have something to do, so let's take a step forward."
The sound insulation effect of the box is not good.
Pei Yi listened to the chatter in the box next door, and then heard Li Yu'an accepting his fate hoarsely, "I'm delaying Mr. Yang, then I'll see you off."
The movement next door got up and walked out became louder.
About the time after the curtain was lifted, that Mr. Yang's tone softened a lot when he spoke again, "Mr. Li, I still admire your perseverance in doing things. You don't need to send it away. I will treat you to dinner if I have a chance."
"Thank you, President Yang, for your appreciation, then go slowly."
"Um."
The footsteps gradually faded away.
Pei Yi couldn't hold back and opened the curtain of the box, and she saw Li Yu'an's back from the side, tall and superior, with the iconic wolf tail and small hair on the back of her head.
Li Yu'an, who watched the investor away, turned around, and then met Pei Yi's eyes in mid-air. He was stunned for two seconds, and took the time to look around to calm down the disappointment in his eyes.
"Master Pei, why are you here alone?"
As soon as the words fell, he frowned and asked again, "Did you hear what we talked just now?"
"..."
Pei Yi paused for two seconds, and decided to follow the original owner's temperament and answer truthfully, "A little bit."
However, this little bit is enough for him to analyze the purpose and final result of this conversation.
Li Yu'an looked at the empty box on his side, and gave an inaudible smirk, "Forget it, if you hear it, you'll hear it, I guess you, a fool, don't understand."
The second half of the sentence was read very lightly, and the phrase 'little fool' was like a pronoun, rather than a deliberate derogation.
Pei Yi's eyes moved to the empty seat opposite, and then back to Li Yu'an's face, sending out a silent invitation: Do you want to sit down?
At the same time, Li Yu'an approached and said, "Can I sit down?"
Pei Yi nodded.
As soon as Li Yu'an sat down, assistant Lin Zhong came up with a glass of orange juice and a small cake. The latter was a little surprised when he saw an extra person suddenly appearing in the box seat, "Mr. Xiao, who is this?"
Li Yu'an frowned, and then realized that Pei Yi couldn't go out alone.
Before he could open his mouth to introduce himself, Pei Yi made an affirmative statement—
"friend."
Lin Zhong and Li Yu'an were stunned at the same time, they didn't expect Pei Yi to address her with the word 'friend'.
Lin Zhong, who reacted first, put down the juice cake, and took the opportunity to examine Li Yu'an for a while, "Sir, do you need anything? I can go downstairs and help with ordering."
As Bo Yueming's personal assistant, Lin Zhong was of a good standard, at least his secret vigilance and public etiquette were in place.
Li Yu'an declined, "Thank you, don't bother."
Lin Zhong signaled again, "Sir, you guys talk slowly, I will sit in the single seat at the foot of the stairs, call me anytime you need."
The curtain was lowered again.
With the sound of Lin Zhong's footsteps going further and further away, Li Yu'an's eyes relaxed a little, he took out his cigarette case from his pocket, and pulled out one from it with his slender fingers like jade.
Pei Yi was just about to remind him 'no smoking indoors', but found that the other party just flicked the cigarette butt, then put the cigarette across his nose and sniffed it.
"..."
Li Yu'an relied on the faint smell of tobacco to suppress the confusion and frustration in his heart, turned to look at Pei Yi's hesitant eyes, smiled and said bluntly, "Afraid of the smell of cigarettes? Try smoking one."
Pei Yi shook her head.
Occasionally, when encountering game design lag, he will also smoke to relieve stress, but he does not smoke often, and it is not a must.
Li Yu'an flipped the long cigarette in his hand lightly, and complained, "I can tell you don't smoke when you look at you obediently, don't worry, I know that smoking is prohibited indoors, and I won't be so wicked as to let you smoke secondhand smoke."
Pei Yi didn't speak.
Having met twice before and after, he already had a more intuitive understanding of Li Yu'an, the "supporting role"—
Straightforward sharp and poisonous tongue, with a bit of stubbornness and ego, and occasionally care can be mixed in it.
To put it bluntly, there is a bit of arrogance in him.
Pei Yi's eyes fell on Li Yu'an's injured finger. The white band-aid from last night was still wrapped around it, but the blood inside was clearly seeping out, and it had solidified.
Pei Yi was a bit obsessive-compulsive, and looked uncomfortable, "Dirty."
Li Yu'an understood his meaning slowly, and with his thumbs down, he lightly touched the edge of the band-aid, "...well, I forgot to change it."
Understand the answer, but not in a hurry to pick it up.
Li Yu'an hid the hand with the Band-Aid on it under the table, and let out a mouthful of turbid air, "Master Pei, are you bored? If you are bored, then chat with me."
Pei Yi was taken aback.
Li Yu'an continued on his own, "Yesterday I was going to the banquet at the Bo family. I actually wanted to find an investor to cooperate with that group of wealthy families, but I was frustrated everywhere and hid in the corridor to smoke. At that time, you were blocked and bullied."
Pei Yi vaguely guessed that this was the case, and continued to listen to what he said.
"Wei Bo and the others are right. I have long since had nothing to do with the glamorous wealthy circles. The Li family collapsed as early as my sophomore year..."
Li Yu'an's voice was very low. Rather than saying that he was telling a story, it might be better to say that he was taking the opportunity to vent his depression.
In fact, Pei Yi understands all the past experiences Li Yuan mentioned in the original book—
The Li family was originally the earliest professional game development company in Huaguo, and the top business card of "Dawn Games" has also been resounding across the country.
With the continuous development of society and technology, and the continuous innovation of Internet games, Liming was completely abandoned in the wind because of the wrong decision of the top management and took the wrong path of "conservative". He went downhill step by step.
In Li Yu'an's sophomore year, Li's father fell down due to leukemia, which is uncommon in his age group, and passed away after several treatments.
Li's mother was heartbroken and then fell ill. The shareholders of Liming Games even made a fuss. At that time, Li Yu'an, the only son who was originally studying finance, had to temporarily drop out of school to take care of these difficult matters.
But after all, he is a young man who has not yet come out of society, how can he fight against those old foxes who are counting and going?
The original "Dawn" was divided up and there was very little left, and in the end there was almost only an empty shell and some small games that could no longer earn any copyright fees.
In order to keep his father's hard work, Li Yu'an changed his major to game programming related majors halfway through. These years, while studying and starting a business at the same time, his life was extremely difficult and frustrating.
Because the company's development and R&D funds are not enough, he can only choose to go out to buy the initial copyright of the new mini-game, and in addition to find ways to find investment injections, it is barely enough to support it.
Small games are not like large-scale online games. They follow trends one after another, and now the company has come to a standstill.
…
Li Yu Anhan took a bite of the unlit cigarette, as if this could temporarily numb his irritability, he raised his eyes to Pei Yi who had been silent all along, and suddenly felt a little silly for what he had just confided.
"Young master, no wonder others say you are autistic and dumb. My mouth is so dry from voicing bitterness. You can't even respond to a single tone of voice? You really don't give me any face."
It sounds like a venomous rebuke, but in fact Li Yu'an is very lucky.
It was because of Pei Yi's 'stupidity' that he would tell all about the pressure of not being able to confuse with outsiders, otherwise, he would really be ashamed to say it casually.
Pei Yi pushed the untouched fruit juice and drink on the table as a comfort, "Here, sweet, I'll feel better."
Li Yu'an stared at the delicate sugar flowers on the cake, and looked away two seconds later, "I won't compete with you for children's taste."
"Don't grab it, I'll give it to you."
Pei Yi was fed by Shu Wan at noon, and there was no shortage of this thing in his stomach at the moment. Looking at Li Yu'an in front of him, he always felt that his nature was not as bad as it was said in the book.
Perhaps because he is also engaged in the game industry, Pei Yi always has a sense of "one of his own" towards him.
Thinking of this, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in Pei Yi's mind, and before he could catch it carefully, Lin Zhong appeared at the door of the box again.
"Xiao Mister, it's time to go, Er Shao and the others will arrive in a minute."
"okay."
Pei Yi came back to her senses, and when she got up, she pushed the small plate of cake towards Li Yu'an, "Eat it, goodbye."
"..."
Li Yu'an watched Pei Yi go downstairs in a daze, then slowly turned his gaze back to the food, and said vaguely, "You really don't want to take it away? You don't even eat this?"
After he finished speaking, he pursed his lips, taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around, he changed his previous refusal look—
I took a sip of juice first, and then dug a spoonful of small cakes.
Then within a few seconds, he squinted his eyes contentedly, completely forgetting the phrase 'children's taste' he said just now.
…
When Pei Yi walked out of the coffee shop, she found a larger car parked at the door, but the license plate didn't seem to have been seen in Pei's garage.
The car door opened automatically, revealing Bo Yueming's figure, "Get in the car."
Lin Zhong glanced at Pei Yi, and got into the car first to occupy the last row. "Mr. Xiao, you and the second young master sit in the same row. I'll just sit in the back and squeeze."
Pei Yi got into the car silently, and suddenly heard a familiar meow.
"Meow~"
He turned around and saw that there was a mobile cat backpack next to Lin Zhong's seat. The inspector probably sensed his breath, and was sticking out his small head and meowing.
Pei Yi was stunned, "Inspector?"
The car door closed automatically again, and Uncle Kai signaled the driver to go, then turned around and explained to Pei Yi, "Little Mister, Er Shao has something to go out for three days, you go with him, and the inspector also brought it for you."
Pei Yi squinted her eyes, and a question mark rarely appeared in her mind. According to the few descriptions in the original book—
Bo Yueming shouldn't bring 'him' with him when he goes out to do errands, right? Why did you suddenly say you were going to leave?
Bo Yueming seemed to have guessed that Pei Yi would be suspicious, "Last night, Bo Wang shook his face in public and left. I heard that after going to the bar, he got drunk and broke his leg as soon as he got out of the bar in the early morning. It was very serious. He is now lying in a private ward inside."
Pei Yi couldn't hold back her surprise for a moment, "Huh?"
Bo Yueming followed suit and commented, "Well, I was too careless."
"..."
Pei Yi heard a clue, and her eyes, pretending to be puzzled, continued to fall on Bo Yueming's face.
Just careless?
Why doesn't he feel like it?
Uncle Kai covered the clearness in his eyes, and continued to explain with a smile, "Second Young Master is afraid that Young Master Bowang will hurt his leg, and he and Second Madam will be so depressed that they will deliberately come here to find trouble and vent their anger."
When the time comes, Bo Yueming and Uncle Kai will not be there, and the servants will not dare to protect each other. The one who suffers must be Pei Yi. If the detective protects the master like last time, I'm afraid he will encounter the same disaster.
Hearing these remarks, Pei Yi became more and more sure of her guess—
Where did this come from being careless? It is estimated that Bo Yueming sent someone to take the opportunity to come up with it! It seems that the blackening progress of this 'villain' is still progressing secretly?
Pei Yi didn't care about how many legs Bo Wang broke, and accepted the current situation as a matter of course.
Two and a half hours later, Pei Yi arrived at a resort with Bo Yueming and others.
The sky in the mountains always gets dark faster.
The person in charge who came to contact them took them into the exclusive area while revealing the situation in detail, "Mr. Bo, the equipment has been shipped and arranged in advance, and the medical team has arrived this afternoon. We can start the first round tomorrow morning." examine."
Bo Yueming's eyes flickered slightly, "Okay."
Pei Yi carried the inspector behind her back and followed him silently, already understanding from the words and deeds of the person in charge—
In the original book, Bo Yueming performed secret treatment behind everyone's back in the early stage. It seems that this is the purpose of this trip.
No wonder he went out by car early in the morning, and then changed to a big car that had never seen a license plate. It should be to deceive others and avoid being noticed by other members of the Bo family.
The person in charge quickly led them to a separate courtyard. After entering the door, he said, "Mr. Bo, the west side room has two bedrooms with three single beds, and the main room has a separate master bedroom."
Pei Yi suddenly realized something, but Bo Yueming asked him one step ahead, "So, there are only four rooms?"
According to the original plan, three single rooms were allocated to the driver, Lin Zhong and Uncle Kai respectively, so the big bedroom in the master bedroom...doesn't it have to accommodate two people?
The person in charge confirmed the situation in his memo, "Well, there were four people talking on the phone at that time, so this small courtyard was arranged."
As he said that, he took another sneaky look at Pei Yi, who was extra, and asked, "Is this little gentleman Mr. Bo's lover? Can, can we live in the master bedroom together?"
