November 10, He Xi Dessert Shop

"I want a piece of coconut cake, a bowl of white snow pearls, three pieces of corn shortbread...and a cup of double skin milk at the end!" Liu Yun ordered seven or eight kinds of desserts in one go, only to find that the three people around her were stunned after sitting down Looking at her: "What's wrong with you?"

"I said Liu Yun, can you eat so much?" Li Yu asked in surprise.

"No problem." Liu Yun said with a smile: "I used to dream that I could order desserts here. I just got paid a few days ago, and my dream has finally come true!"

It has been several months since she entered the workplace. Liu Yun usually works a lot in Yanjing, and it is rare to come back to Suhua once. Naturally, she will not miss the opportunity to have a big meal at He Xi's House. It's been a long time since she got together with her three little friends. Since they each went to work, they have less time to get together. They only got together once in the first two months.

Han Xuan followed Liu Yun to order several desserts for herself, and said, "Seeing how cheap these desserts are now, I finally feel a bit like Meng Huo back then."

The biggest advantage of going to work is that they can spend more money. Unlike when they were students, they can often eat what they want. One of the reasons why Manga Island's business is so active is that the employees of Phoenix Company are willing to spend money, because the company provides dormitories, and they don't bother about paying for the dormitory.

However, compared to the two female companions, Li Yu saved a lot. She only ordered the dessert she wanted, and said enviously, "You guys are so kind, your salary is so high."

Her salary is far lower than that of Han Xuan and Liu Yun. The average salary of Han Xuan's voice actor agency has always been higher than that of other departments, and Liu Yun is active in the business department. The rewards are also high - only Li Yu is paid a dead salary.

"The high salary is not as good as you!" Liu Yun was a little envious of Li Yu: "I heard that editors invite cartoonists to eat and play at public expense. If you can be in charge of a good cartoonist, you will get a lot of bonuses every month .”

In Phoenix Company, manga editors are a very enviable profession. They have a monthly 'favor fee' that can be reimbursed with manga artists. In fact, it is the expenses of various restaurants and coffee shops. And if you can meet a good cartoonist, the bonus is beyond imagination.

"Do you often come here to eat?" Han Xuan looked at Li Yu with a smile: "I guess you are tired of eating."

"No way, I'm still a newcomer..." Li Yu shook her head. She can only be regarded as a handyman in the department, and she is still learning from her seniors. If you can't be directly responsible for the cartoonists, you naturally don't have so many benefits to enjoy.

"Is the comic department busy?" Liu Yun asked curiously.

"The number of editors in our company is sufficient, and they are not very busy...but things are a little troublesome." Li Yu said: "Especially with the recent "Legend of the Galaxy Diva", all the female editors feel a headache."

"I've heard about this too." Han Xuan interjected, "You're still delaying the manga, right?"

In the past month, "Legend of the Galaxy Diva" has been suspended for three weeks, fans everywhere are very dissatisfied, Qin Ya has also made a few angry, and several media fanned the flames - the editors have been under a lot of pressure, but still No compromises were made.

The editors want to wait for He Xi to come back. But because of this kind of action, it caused many doubts. Whether the comics should be decided by editors or by cartoonists is a hot topic on the Internet.

"It will take another week," Li Yu said. In the blink of an eye, he became a little happy: "But Meng Huo should be back soon, and he will definitely be able to convince Teacher Qin Ya."

"Meng Huo is coming back soon!?" Han Xuan and Liu Yun were stunned, but the one who reacted the most was Liu Yi, who had been silent all this time. He stood up excitedly: "Really? How do you know?"

Li Yu was taken aback by him. She didn't understand why Liu Yi was so excited, but she came to her senses and said affirmatively: "It should be true. The news came from the editorial department in Ninghai that Meng Huo's mother went abroad to call him yesterday. gone."

"Did Aunt Qin call him?" Liu Yi became even more excited: "That must be true, Meng Huo listens to Aunt Qin the most."

Liu Yun looked at Liu Yi in surprise: "I said Fatty, why are you so excited?"

"I... I'm not excited... I just miss him a little..." Liu Yi's expression tightened, and he quickly argued: "He has been away for so long, and there are no new comics or animations to read recently, don't you think so? ?”

It was fine if he didn't explain, but once he explained it made the other three people even more suspicious.

"Aren't you following Jingyue's new manga?" Liu Yun asked suspiciously.

"Yeah, Jingyue's new manga is pretty good, I'm reading it too!" Li Yu nodded, the most popular new manga is Jingyue's new manga, and Jingyue is the fastest growing manga after He Xi left At home, two works have been adapted into animated films, and the box office is very good.

But two months ago, Li Yu didn't like Jingyue. Although his comics were good, his style made many people uncomfortable. But his latest manga has changed. Although it still has such a cruel story, it doesn't look so hard to accept as a whole. Li Yu feels that he must have found a good editor.

But Li Yu doesn't want to talk about this matter now, what she cares about is not Jingyue's comics, but Liu Yi's abnormality.

"Liu Yi, just tell me the truth!" Han Xuan was also very curious: "Is it because of the game department that I am so looking forward to Teacher He Xi's return? The game department has been mysterious recently. What new game are you working on? Why not?" It is said that?"

"I'm also curious, isn't "Pokemon" released? What else is there in the game department?" Liu Yun looked at Liu Yi: "You have lost a lot of weight. Why can't I tell you what work is so busy?"

Her gaze pierced Liu Yi like a needle. Liu Yi was always afraid of Liu Yun, and usually couldn't stand it at this time, but this time was an exception. He replied a little impatiently: "The game department often has to work overtime, and I am As a newcomer, he will naturally be a little tired——Liu Yun, haven't you lost weight too?"

He wanted to change the topic, but unfortunately Liu Yun didn't like this: "You often work overtime? Is the game department working on a new game recently? Otherwise, why are you working overtime?"

Liu Yi's expression froze, knowing that he couldn't fool around.

"..." He frowned: "Liu Yun, it's not that I don't want to say it. It's just that I can't say it. That game hasn't been officially approved yet!"

Liu Yun's complexion began to improve: "It's okay if you admit it earlier. If you don't approve the project, you won't approve it. I won't force you to say it." Liu Yicai has been working in the game department for a short time, and of course she won't force him to make mistakes—but even if Liu Yi Not to mention, Liu Yun actually guessed something.

"It's that online game, isn't it?" Liu Yun asked, "He Xi's House has already been leaked."

A leak is a leak—but it’s more appropriate to say it’s a rumor than a leak. Phoenix has never really publicly announced it, and there’s very little leaked information. Many people think that the game is just a rumor.

Liu Yi neither nodded nor shook his head. He quickly drank the juice in his hand, then got up and said, "Let's talk, there is still work in the department, I have to go back."

"So urgent!" Liu Yun was a little unhappy.

"I'm sorry, I'll stay with you next time I'm on vacation..." Liu Yi apologized to Liu Yun, and then walked out quickly. When he went out, he heard Han Xuan's voice: "I bet he didn't know the news of Meng Huo's return." So sensitive, it must be because of that game!"

—she guessed right.

Liu Yi returned to the game department. It was one o'clock in the afternoon, and other departments were still resting. The employees of the game department are basically all here, and they are working in full swing.

"Ah, Liu Yi, it's just in time for you to come back!" Seeing Liu Yi coming in, a male employee who was eating a lunch box hurriedly beckoned him to come over, then moved away from his seat and said, "I'm busy eating now, you Quickly help me with these tasks and see if there are any bugs!"

"Okay, senior." Liu Yi sat down excitedly, and started to operate the computer.

"Start from that." While eating, the male employee stretched out his chopsticks to instruct Liu Yi to manipulate the undead character inside: "This character has just learned Frost Arrow, and you will use this skill more when you fight monsters later."

Liu Yi nodded, the smell of food was all around him, but he was used to it. The game department has been very busy in the past few months, and many employees simply settled for three meals in the office, causing the department to often have a strange smell.

Minister He Qian once prevented this behavior, but this delayed the progress of the game. Between game progress and taste, He Qian finally chose progress. Now this time is the most precious time for the game department. "Pokemon" is over, and the task of the new game has not yet been released. Everyone wants to seize the time to speed up the progress of "World of Warcraft".

"Senior, the map of Arathi Heights is ready!" Playing around, Liu Yi was pleasantly surprised to find that there was an extra area on the small map.

"It was only added in the morning!" The male employee said with a smile, "But it's not finished yet. Teacher He Xi gave too little information, and many details on the map have not been finalized. This will not be resolved until he comes back."

"He will definitely be pleasantly surprised when he comes back." Liu Yi said happily: "It's impossible for him to think that we will make "World of Warcraft" to this extent, right? The materials he left are basically finished."

The male employee nodded: "It's actually not surprising. The main structure of the game has been completed in the first two years, and now it's just adding content."

"World of Warcraft" has made amazing progress. In the past few months, it has been a barren place, but now it has shaped the prototype of several areas. However, in fact, the design of this game started two years ago, and the skills, codes, and various settings have been completed long ago, so they can only explode their enthusiasm for world shaping now.

"When Mr. Meng... He Xi comes back, will "World of Warcraft" be officially approved?" Liu Yi almost said Meng Huo's name, but few people here know that he and Meng Huo used to be classmates, so halfway through Changed it back.

The male employee didn't care about such details, and he replied: "I hope so, the minister* said so."

He Xi has never been particularly enthusiastic about "World of Warcraft". After two years, the information he gave is not perfect. However, the game department has made such a major progress this time, and the designers are very optimistic about the possibility of formally establishing the "World of Warcraft" project.

"If the project is formally approved, we will have sufficient funds and time to develop it!" The male employee said with full expectation: "Maybe we will be able to finish this game before the end of next year!"

Liu Yi's heart became hot. "World of Warcraft" was the biggest surprise after he started working. This game was hidden too deeply. He couldn't wait to see it come out one day. It would definitely become a super popular game. .

"I hope what Li Yu said is true..." Liu Yi thought, now that everything is ready in the game department, it's just a matter of Meng Huo coming back to set up a project for them.

But at this moment, after a day's journey, Li Qin and Alice's mother appeared in front of Meng Huo and the others.

Meng Huo was stunned for a while, but seeing the angry faces of the two elders, he knew that his trip should be over—Alice and Shen Jie also put aside their desire to have fun, and obediently bought tickets to go home.

Li Qin was a little motion sick, so it was not suitable to go back immediately, and Alice's mother missed her hometown a little bit. After the three of Meng Huo discussed it, they finally chose to go back two days later.

The old lady was in charge of the air tickets, and she could guarantee that the three of Meng Huo would not be found when they went back. But before going back, Meng Huo and Shen Jie had to determine the time of their respective appearances in the company - it was impossible for them to go back together, that would be too obvious.

Alice won't show up for the time being when she goes back. She will be arranged in the courtyard of Meng's house, and will return to work in the company after giving birth to a child next year. After half a year, there will be no scandals with Meng Huo because of time.

But if Shen Jie and Meng Huo go back at the same time, it will inevitably arouse suspicion, and they have to stagger the time.

"I have to go back first." Shen Jie wanted to go back first, because she was a voice actor, and she couldn't leave the stage for too long: "Really is already a big star now, if I don't go back, Xiangzi will surpass me."

But Meng Huo didn't think so: "Anyway, you've been away for so long, it's okay to go back in two weeks. I have a lot of things to do, so I'll go back first!"

Shen Jie only had a job as a voice actor, but Meng Huo put too much work aside, the later he went back, the more things he had to do.

"You can continue to accompany Alice for a while!" Meng Huo persuaded Shen Jie that Alice needs someone to accompany her back to the Meng family's yard. Although Li Qin and the old lady and her mother will often go there, there are no young people after all. , Shen Jie can spend more time with her.

Shen Jie was a little displeased, Meng Huo thought for a while, and then said: "There are no new animations that need to be dubbed, and it will be awkward for you to go back. Why don't I send you an open invitation after I decide on a new animation, and you come back again, others It’s not easy to get suspicious.”

"..." Shen Jie frowned, looked back at Alice, and Alice nodded to her, "This is a good idea."

Shen Jie sighed: "Okay, but Meng Huo...I want a dubbing that can catch fire!" (To be continued...)
