I'm The Hard Rice King

Chapter 429 The Ups and Downs of Married Life

April 20, 2123, 10:30 am, Xizhou Technology Co., Ltd.

Young male and female employees are typing on the keyboard at their respective workstations, or gathering in groups of two or three, drinking drinks and discussing development problems.

The next moment, the door of the general manager's office opened, and a round-faced girl wearing jeans and a sweatshirt walked out. The atmosphere was quiet, and everyone looked at the girl with a vague look. A hint of curiosity.

And she herself quickened her pace a little uncomfortably, and walked to a bald programmer in the center of the workstation.

"A new batch of Class C bugs have been reported. Director Zhao, I have sent them to your email."

"receive."

Director Zhao made an OK gesture, then looked in the direction of the general manager's office, lowered his voice, and asked the question that everyone present wanted to know;

"Director Li has been playing the game for more than an hour. Have you given any comments?"

…

"Very good, more fun than I expected!"

Li Peifeng was holding the mobile phone, playing with relish.

Today, Xizhou Company has grown to a certain scale, with more than 20 departments and 530 employees. After hundreds of millions of investments in the "Sword and Law" mobile game project, and a year of research and development, it finally came to something. Results.

Although it is not even a semi-finished product, it only has a combat system and a few map scenes, which is not enough for public testing, but it can be tried internally to see how good it is.

Overall, Li Peifeng is satisfied with the game. The picture quality is realistic and beautiful, and the level is above the first echelon of mobile games on the market. The character movements are natural, the character expressions are vivid, the skill attacks are smooth and silky, and the combat mode is novel and creative. Unfortunately, the current level of completion is not enough, the plot and music are completely missing, and the optimization is not very good, which makes his trial experience slightly regretful.

Wang Lianzong saw this and introduced its progress: "It is expected that in June next year, the game world of "Sword and Law" will be completely launched. The game plot will be updated to the first three volumes of the novel, and it can be closed and tested during the summer vacation. . The closed beta test lasts for one month, and after five volumes of content are completed in August, the public beta will be launched. In the future, the game content can be updated at the rate of one novel volume per month..."

Li Peifeng nodded: "There is no problem with this plan, but the timing of the closed beta is still a little late. It is best to conduct the closed beta one month before the summer vacation and conduct the open beta during the summer vacation. Because the second season of the "Sword and Law" anime It’s already set for July. If we also set the open beta of the mobile game in July, we can maximize the traffic from the summer vacation.”

"There is also the PVP part, which needs to be completed during the public beta. It is endless fun to fight with others. Only PVP has the highest player stickiness. Just relying on the exploration of the world and the experience of the plot, the user stickiness will not be too high in the long run."

Wang Lianzong agreed: "PVP is also being done, but we need to recruit two groups of people for numerical balance. And if we want to move the public beta to next summer vacation...the production team will continue to recruit people."

He Yimeng added: "Have you read the plan? According to your idea, at this stage, the recruitment should be expanded to at least 600 people."

Li Peifeng pursed his lips and said to He Yimeng: "Recruit, keep recruiting... As long as the public test can be successfully carried out in the middle of next year, I guarantee that there will be enough ammunition."

Although he was prepared, the speed at which mobile games burned money was still somewhat beyond his expectations.

The production team of "Sword and Law" now has 520 employees, each with an average monthly salary of 20,000. The labor expenses in the past year alone were more than 120 million.

If it expands to 600 employees and conducts research and development for another year, the labor expenditure will be at least 140 million.

Coupled with other costs such as operations, promotion, engine, etc., 400 million may be burned in the future before the mobile game can be successfully released to the public beta.

If it weren't for the success of the animation "Sword and Law" after its broadcast, making a lot of money and proving the commercial value of this IP, Li Peifeng would not dare to continue investing in this bottomless pit.

However, how can a strict wife take out so much money? ?

He Yimeng raised his head and glanced at him with a slightly questioning look in his eyes: "The sales performance of the overseas version of "Sword and Law" is very good?"

"It's not bad, plus the share of the animation, it's enough to cover Xizhou's expenses."

On Christmas five months ago, the overseas version of "Sword and Law" was released.

There are not only English, but also Korean and Japanese language versions.

The results after it was put on the shelves were much better than Li Peifeng expected, and now the monthly overseas manuscript fee is almost the same as that in China. Li Peifeng even had the foresight to contact the terminal and asked them to put this part of the royalties into another card of his, including other income from animation, film and television copyrights.

A hidden small treasury was established, but it is impossible to say that Zhao Qingge was completely unaware. It was just that Zhao did not want to kill everyone, and this also allowed Li Peifeng to avoid some minor troubles.

"It's fine if it's enough, otherwise Professor Zhao will come to inspect the company with a pregnant belly, and I won't have time to serve her."

Why Mengde's tone was neither cold nor calm, but there was a sense of dissatisfaction hidden.

Since Zhao Qingge took control of the family's finances and learned about Xizhou's management, He Yimeng came to the company twice, and each time he acted like he was inspecting the work. Not to mention being arrogant, it was not much different. He Yimeng was also emotional. It's inevitable.

"Someone is looking for me, you can chat."

Wang Lianzong silently exited the room. He now understood everything about Boss Li's affair, and he was afraid that his life would be in danger if he knew it all.

But as soon as he left, the atmosphere in the office became even more silent. The two people looked at each other, with eyes that seemed to contain a thousand words.

For a long time recently, because Zhao Qingge was pregnant and Huang Tianxuan gave birth to a child, most of Li Peifeng's energy was restrained, resulting in the two not meeting much. It is also now that Huang Tianxuan has returned to the capital with her children, and the "Sword and Law" mobile game has made progress in stages, so Li Peifeng can come over. It is hard to say whether He Yimeng has any subtle complaints about being left out.

"How does it feel to be a father?"

"Fortunately, I don't have many feelings, but occasionally when I look at the baby, I will have a complex emotion of wonder, joy and love... How about we have one too?"

He Yimeng looked at him with a look that said, "Is there something wrong with your brain?" "Two children are not enough, and you plan to have one for each of five women? Li Peifeng, you are addicted to changing diapers, right? Even if you like children , you have to take care of both the younger ones and the older ones, are you busy enough to come over?"

Li Peifeng hesitated and said: "It's okay. After Tianxuan returned to Beijing last week, Qingge fired the confinement nanny. I am taking care of her and Tianxuan mother and son alone, but I don't feel too tired. Take more care of her." One or two pregnant women can also be busy..."

"Come on, you haven't taken care of pregnant women enough. I don't want to be pregnant anymore, besides."

Speaking of this, He Meng stopped talking and frowned: "When is your wedding to Huang Tianxuan set?"

October 2nd.

This was the day when Li Peifeng’s second wedding was held, and the hotel was set to be a star hotel in Hangzhou.

Huang Tianxuan was very satisfied with this, and both parents had no objections either.

It stands to reason that everything is ready except for the east wind, but Li Peifeng is still unsure whether the wedding will end smoothly in the near future because his wife Zhao Qingge does not agree!

Zhao Duoduo is now more than five months pregnant, her belly is gradually bulging, and her temper is getting worse day by day. This is not only caused by physical problems, but also because Huang Tianxuan and her son returned to the villa next door to be neighbors with her, and visited her from time to time. It is indispensable for families to visit each other for meals.

…

"Why are you back? Hurry up and cook. My son and I are hungry."

It was noon when Li Peifeng left Xizhou Company. He bought two bags of vegetables and rushed home.

As soon as he parked the car and stepped into the courtyard, he saw Huang Tianxuan standing on the astronomical terrace on the second floor, holding the child in her left hand and waving to him with her right hand.

Zhao Qingge was sitting on the sofa in the living room on the first floor. She was holding a book and reading with a heavy face. When she heard Huang Tianxuan's voice, she cast a stingy glance through the floor-to-ceiling window.

Under the warm sunshine of spring, the crabapple flowers growing beside the courtyard wall bloom. The breeze blows, and the sound of rustling leaves and the faint fragrance of flowers spread to the courtyard, leaving mottled shadows on the ground.

Such a scene inexplicably touched Li Peifeng's heartstrings.

Joy, contentment, abundance.

To be more specific, that is; there is a lingering feeling in the heart, and the hope is like seeing it for the first time.

The five-in-one thing that was longed for in my heart has finally been realized, and the crystallization of love is also being born one after another. The acquaintances with the girls at the beginning emerge like a passage of time, as if everything has changed, and it seems as if nothing has changed.

Even though the future is confusing and he is currently in a "quagmire" of one servant, five masters, four adults and one child, at this moment, with just one glance, Li Peifeng felt that his career has been filled with no regrets!

"Click~"

Subconsciously, Li Peifeng took out his mobile phone, pointed it at the mother and son upstairs and pressed the shutter.

Huang Tianxuan didn't know why: "What?"

"I'm looking up to spring!"

Huang Tianxuan laughed and scolded: "Stop talking, hurry up and cook, or go upstairs and help me change your son's diaper... I've had enough of his spring rain."

"If you want Dead Wood to say Fengyue's words, you can't let romanticism keep you mute. Can you be a little sentimental? Come on, change your posture. Yes, raise your head. The light is better."

Huang Tianxuan was not interested at first, but when the camera turned towards her, she still posed very cooperatively.

Two beautiful photos were released. Li Peifeng also took two photos of Zhao Qingge who was studying indoors, and then he opened his legs and walked inside at Huang Tianxuan's urging.

"Hurry up and cook. It's your responsibility if you don't have milk for your son in the afternoon."

"Don't worry, right away, I can cook quickly."

Li Peifeng was smiling broadly. He had just put his hand on the fingerprint lock to enter the room when he heard a crisp prompt: "Wrong fingerprint!"

He thought it was dust on his finger or the position of the finger was wrong, so he didn't take it seriously and continued to adjust the angle to try to unlock it.

"Wrong fingerprint!"

"Fingerprint error...system locked!"

It was still not opened four times in a row, the door was directly locked, and Zhao Qingge in the room was still holding the book. On the surface, he was deaf to what was going on outside the window, and only read the books of sages, but Li Peifeng noticed that he had been looking at it from the corner of his eye. At the door.

It's like the look in the eyes of a criminal who returns to the scene of the crime to watch the show after committing a crime.

You won't delete my fingerprints, right?

Li Peifeng let out a sigh of relief, and wanted to use the password to unlock it unwillingly. He entered the wrong password twice in a row. Now he is finally sure, not only the fingerprint, but also the password!

Is this the time to kick me out of the house?

"Duoduo, what did you change your password to?"

Li Peifeng was lying on the bedside and yelling cliches, but Zhao Qingge ignored him, just lowered his head and smiled coldly, and continued to read, apparently not intending to say anything.

However, Mr. Li had a plug-in. Even if the other party didn't answer, he still knew the string of numbers that flashed through Zhao Qingge's mind.

"976953... beep, welcome home..."

Li Peifeng walked in the door smoothly, without asking Lao Zhao why he was angry again, he was used to the moody changes of pregnant women, and even if he was not angry, it was normal to tease him a little bit, enjoying the blessing of being equal , what’s wrong with being a little angry?

He didn't intend to pursue this matter, but Zhao Qingge was very dissatisfied when he saw that the door with the changed password failed to stop him, and frowned and put down the book: "Did I let you in?"

Li Peifeng blinked: "Then I stand at the door for a while?"

"Let me ask you, is this your home or mine?"

"Of course it's our home."

Zhao Qingge pointed upstairs: "Isn't it her home?"

"No...yes, absolutely not."

Zhao Qingge seemed to be sneering: "Then why does she know the password to our house? Just after you left, she brought the child in without saying a word. I thought there was a thief in the house."

Li Peifeng explained: "Wenyue and Manning went out to work, Tianxuan was bored at home by herself, so she wanted to come here to have a look, but when she rang the doorbell, you couldn't open it, so I put the password... Okay, I did something wrong, I will ask her to come as little as possible from now on."

Even if Huang Tianxuan doesn't come, he can go next door to take care of her in the future. If it can make Zhao Qingge calm down, Li Peifeng will not hesitate to make this concession.

"But I think you can talk more with Tianxuan. After all, she just gave birth. She not only has experience, but also learned a lot of professional knowledge from obstetrics and gynecology experts..."

Zhao Qingge put down the book and said noncommittally: "No matter how much she knows, how much does the author of this book know?"

The title of the book is "Heidi's Pregnancy Encyclopedia", the world's best-selling pregnancy and childbirth book, with sales of more than 20 million copies...

"There's no need to argue." Li Peifeng sighed: "And if you hadn't expressed your desire to see Zhiyi last night when you were in love with each other, she wouldn't have brought the child over early in the morning, and ended up at the door You haven't opened the door to others yet, and you have made such a show of Mr. Ye being a dragon..."

Zhao Qingge frowned: "What's your attitude? If you have nothing to do, go and review the students' papers for me. Don't stand here nagging me!"

"Okay, okay, the paper needs to be reviewed...but I'm going to cook first!"

When Lao Zhao broke his guard, Li Peifeng shut up.

It is still very difficult for Zhao and Huang to reconcile and live in harmony under the same roof like the two daughters of Wu and Xu. Li Peifeng didn't even think that he would be able to do this in the future. He was just looking forward to the wedding in October. Zhao Qingge could turn a blind eye and not interfere.

And Huang Tianxuan also had this consideration, so even though she was shut out in the morning, Zhao Qingge ignored her after entering the house, but she tentatively released the signal during lunch.

"In the past two days, I feel that my body has almost recovered. I want to go to school to report tomorrow. I will discuss with the lawyer about the application for a national patent for the 'Qiangshen Pill' in the afternoon. I will gradually return to work, and I will definitely get better and better. Busy... So Xiaofeng, from now on you will have to take care of your son during the day, don't imagine it was as easy as before."

Huang Tianxuan seemed to be talking to Li Peifeng, but her eyes were staring at Zhao Qingge.

Because throwing Zhiyi to Li Peifeng was actually equivalent to throwing it to both of them. Li Peifeng fully agreed, while Zhao Qingge chose to remain silent.

It would be okay if it was just a baby, damn baby... just looking at it makes me depressed!

"Okay, no problem." Li Peifeng hugged the sleeping Huang Zhiyi with his left hand, eating with chopsticks with his right hand, and said with a smile: "This brat is very obedient, you can do what you should... By the way, remember to eat every day." Keep some breast milk in the refrigerator, and you can’t cut off his food ration when you go to work.”

Huang Tianxuan smiled: "I saved two more bags today, don't worry, the output is definitely enough for him to drink, and he is even rich. In the future, if anyone around me doesn't have enough milk, I can share some."

Zhao Qingge twitched the corner of his mouth and glanced across Huang Tianxuan's breasts. He wanted to say that he didn't need it, but he felt a little guilty... What if there is an urgent need in the future and he wants to use other people's milk?

"Old Zhao, you're welcome. If you need anything in the future, just ask."

Huang Tianxuan simply took the initiative and expressed her kindness directly: "When your child is born, Zhiyi will definitely not be weaned. It will be no problem for me to breastfeed one on each side."

Zhao Qingge hesitated for a long time and just said "oh". Then he looked at Huang Zhiyi's chubby little face while he was sleeping, and sighed meaninglessly.

Huang Tianxuan smiled and said: "I feel more and more that the name Zhiyi is really good. Not only does it have a good meaning, but the word "zhi" in the name is also homophonic with the word "hezhi". Did you also take this into consideration when you chose the name, Lao Zhao? "

I have to say that I didn’t think so much at the time, but it seemed like I was a little stunned.

Zhao Qingge nodded slightly, and then asked: "Is your father planning to let you take the helm of the company?"

"I am cultivating them intentionally, but it still depends on my subsequent performance. Specifically, it depends on the profitability of the 'Strengthening Pills' project."

"Oh, that's alright."

After a moment of silence, Zhao Qingge suddenly said: "I was still sleeping in the morning and didn't hear you ring the doorbell."

Hey, are you apologizing?

Huang Tianxuan couldn't help laughing, but regardless of whether it was true or not, she walked down the steps: "It's normal. I was more sleepy when I was pregnant, but I'm feeling better now... It's my fault too. I didn't call you and asked Peifeng directly. password."

The little grudge between the two women in the morning came and was resolved quickly, which surprised and pleased Li Peifeng. However, life is always bumpy, with ups and downs. When he heard the next topic, Li Peifeng's heart It's hanging again...

"correct."

Huang Tianxuan asked casually: "Old Zhao, have you named the child in your belly?"

"The only one."

Zhao Qingge repeated it again: "The human heart is dangerous, the Taoist heart is weak, the essence is only one, and the right to hold is in the middle. For the time being, I will call him Li Weiyi."

Li Peifeng coughed dryly, picked up a piece of ribs in front of him and put it into Huang Tianxuan's bowl, as if to interrupt: "Here, eat more."

"Weiyi, Li Weiyi."

Huang Tianxuan was not disturbed, chewing on the name.

The writing is visible to the naked eye and is catchy as soon as you hear it. The words have charm, allusions and extremely profound meanings.

The human heart is unpredictable, and the Tao mind is right and subtle; the only way is the Tao mind. We must sincerely maintain the only way, without changing or changing our ideals and goals, and finally harmonize the human heart with the Tao mind. Act accordingly.

Tsk, it seems better than Zhiyi? A few sentences from ancient Chinese prose will make you feel more culturally rich!

Huang Tianxuan was a little sad, but thinking about it, it was human nature. Everyone would leave the best name to their child, and Zhiyi was indeed more suitable for him.

Although she thought so in her heart, Huang Tianxuan still couldn't help but compare the two names back and forth.

Zhiyi, only, Zhiyi, only, one, only...

Something is wrong! ! !

"My child is one and your child is the only one?"

President Huang’s face changed instantly!

Zhao Qingge raised his eyes to look at her, then looked at Huang Zhiyi, opened his lips slightly and swallowed a mouthful of rice, and finally raised the corners of his mouth slightly, with a slight smile in his eyes: "I don't understand what you are talking about, aren't they all the same? What's the problem?"

Huang Tianxuan woke up from a dream, and then gritted her teeth angrily: "I...Zhao Qingge!! You have already planned it, you, you are so bad! You are still hiding your intentions in this kind of thing, I have already registered the children's household registration , now I realize... Aren't you afraid of mushrooms growing in your mouth?"

"They're all number one, they're all number one, it's not that complicated, what do you want to change your name to?"

Li Peifeng smiled bitterly and tried to break up the fight: "And the name of Weiyi has not been decided yet... I think it is not good for both children to have "one" in their names. It is easy to get confused."

"I think it's easy to distinguish."

Zhao Qingge held his head high and determined at first, then froze for a moment, looking at Huang Tianxuan with an angry look on his face and trying: "You just promised me to help you breastfeed... You won't regret it, right?"

Huang Tianxuan put down the bowls and chopsticks and rolled her eyes: "Let him be hungry!!!"
