Ten Years Against the Current of Rebirth

At noon the next day, at Minhang University in Shanghai, there was a cross-bridge rice noodle shop opposite the campus gate on the southwest side.

Xu Niannian took the subway and walked for a few minutes to get here. He saw a beautiful figure standing in front of the store from a distance, and immediately waved happily and shouted: "Jiajia!"

Yu Youjia, who was wearing a white sunhat, heard the sound and turned around to look over. When she saw Xu Niannian, she held the brim of her hat with one hand and raised it slightly with the other. She smiled and waved to Xu Niannian.

She waited until Xu Niannian trotted up to her before she said in a reserved and gentle voice: "What do you want to eat? Rice noodles, Malatang, or that Sichuan restaurant is also good. I haven't eaten in a long time."

"Just rice noodles, it's convenient." Xu Niannian glanced at the bridge-crossing rice noodles that were just a few feet away and didn't bother to take two more steps, so he simply said.

"Yeah." Yu Youjia nodded lightly, walked into the store with Xu Niannian, and found a seat near the door. Before sitting down, he took out a tissue and wiped the chair a little, then gently rolled up his skirt and slowly

Sit down slowly, take off your sun hat and put it on your lap.

Xu Niannian was not so particular. After sitting down, he shouted towards the kitchen: "Boss Boss, two bowls of Cross-Bridge Rice Noodles! One is not spicy, and the other is slightly spicy!"

"okay!"

After shouting, Xu Niannian laughed twice and looked at Yu Youjia opposite him: "You don't eat spicy food, right? Do you want to add any toppings?"

"No need." Yu Youjia shook his head.

Yu Youjia, who is about to be a junior this year, is Xu Niannian’s roommate and best friend at Min University. Although she looks ordinary, she has an elegant, quiet and relaxed temperament. She did not go home during the summer vacation, but stayed at school.

On the other hand, I help the teachers in the Student Affairs Center handle affairs.

If Xu Niannian hadn't asked her out to eat today, she would have already eaten in the school cafeteria.

"So why did you come out to me?" Yu Youjia asked with a smile, "You can't announce to me that you are no longer a single noble, so you want to celebrate, right?"

"How is it possible? It is estimated that such a thing as being single will be impossible in this lifetime." Xu Niannian curled his lips, then put his fist to his mouth, and coughed twice to make himself look more serious, "Actually, it is

So, I found a part-time job during the summer vacation."

"part time?"

"Yes, it is a game studio and is currently developing a game."

"You went to do game design?" Yu Youjia was a little surprised, "That's pretty good."

"Hmm... But I am not involved in that big project, but in another smaller project, responsible for providing the art resources." Xu Niannian continued to explain, "It is a game for the mobile phone market, and it is relatively lightweight.

Quantify.”

"Oh~" Yu Youjia nodded clearly and took out his mobile phone, "It's like those small games on mobile phones such as pushing boxes and snakes?"

"Yes, but it's a little more advanced. It's a game designed through the touch-screen interaction method of a smartphone." Xu Niannian borrowed some terms that Sister Junjiu used to introduce the game to himself to give a brief introduction. It was quite interesting.

Stunning.

"Well." Yu Youjia understood the matter a little bit. The lady boss next to her brought two bowls of rice noodles. She took the non-spicy bowl and poured vinegar into it. Then she asked, "Then what are you looking for me for?"

Is it related to this?"

"Hehe." Xu Niannian felt a little embarrassed. He rubbed his hands and took over his bowl of rice noodles. He lowered his head and took a sip first. After padding his stomach, he continued, "I'm a newbie. I haven't had any actual contact with it before.

In this regard, I thought I was competent at first.”

"But their project development time is relatively tight, and they only hired me as an artist for this small project. As a result, I have to stay up until two or three o'clock every day, which is really hard to do..."

"I talked to the person in charge yesterday and finally said that I can find another artist to help me share the work. If I have a suitable person, I can recommend him."

"Then, didn't I think of you all of a sudden~ Good Jiajia~ Please help me~"

Seeing Xu Niannian's childish behavior, Yu Youjia laughed a little: "I don't even know what this game is about, and I don't know the specific work content every day. I don't know whether I am qualified or not. How could I agree casually?

you."

"If I can do it, you can definitely do it." Xu Niannian said matter-of-factly. After all, Yu Youjia has always been the first in all aspects, received a scholarship, and often helped the teacher's office with some design work.

You can see the traces left by Yu Youjia in his work, from ordinary promotional posters to the design of an entire wall mural in the college building.

"And it's not in vain. There's still one month left to develop. After completion, you'll be paid 1,500 yuan, and you can sign a contract first." Xu Niannian added.

As he said that, Xu Niannian took out his mobile phone again and showed her his usual work contents, which were relatively simple fruit drawings, cutting drawings and juice splashing drawings, as well as UI interface design and the like.

Yu Youjia looked at it briefly and finally nodded: "Okay, it wasn't very busy here before school started, but as promised, it's only for this month, and I will have to be busy after school starts in mid-August.

.”

"Don't worry." Xu Niannian breathed a sigh of relief and said with a happy smile, "The actual development time should be less than a month. According to the schedule, it will be around early August."

"That's okay." Yu Youjia nodded lightly, "But there is no need to sign the contract. Just let the studio pay you the salary directly. When you have time, just transfer it to me."

Xu Niannian thought about it and realized that there was actually only about half a month of development time left. There was really no need to go to the trouble of signing a contract, so he nodded: "Then I'll go back and ask. There should be no problem."

…

In the afternoon, Xu Xing received a message from Xu Niannian, confirming that Xu Niannian’s best friend Yu Youjialai would serve as the studio’s second artist.

When Xu Xing saw the name Yu Youjia, he was stunned for a while, and then felt it was natural.

This name is familiar to him.

In his previous life, Xu Niannian resigned when he was thirty and set up his own design studio to work alone. At that time, he was a partner with Yu Youjia and two other people, who were considered co-founders.

Compared with Xu Niannian, Yu Youjia is better at the field of promotional design, but the fruit assassin's art level is definitely not a problem for Youjia.

So after hearing Xu Niannian say that he would not sign the contract, Xu Xing readily agreed.

After all, with Yu Youjia's temperament, there's no telling what clues will be discovered when the contract is actually signed.

Xu Niannian is so stupid and easy to deceive. Until now, he has not doubted whether the fabricated studio and Sister Junjiu really exist.

The art issue has come to an end, and the next development should be smooth sailing.

Xu Xing breathed a sigh of relief, but then he heard the sound of the private room door opening behind him. Yan Chijue walked in with a depressed look on his face, holding the clothes he had just collected from the lounge downstairs after drying, and sat on the chair for a while.

.

"What's wrong with you?" Xu Xing couldn't help but asked in confusion when he saw her sulking while holding the women's shirt.

"I accidentally tore the clothes when I was collecting them..." Yan Chijuan said in a low voice, with a sad tone. He opened the clothes in his arms and showed Xu Xing, and the chest area was cut open.

There was a big hole of four to five centimeters, and it looked like it couldn't be worn.

But Yan Chijuan obviously felt that he could still save it. After feeling sad for a while, he got up and walked to the suitcase, took out the needle and thread, hugged the clothes, sat on the sofa, and planned to mend the clothes first.

But when he thought that it was still working time, Yan Chijuan immediately reacted and hurriedly took back the needle and thread, put the clothes back into the suitcase for the time being, and sat back obediently, planning to find time to mend them later in the evening.

"The cost of this dress is only twenty or thirty. If it breaks, I can just go to a relative's store and get another one." Xu Xing felt it was unnecessary, shook his head and said to Yan Chiju.

But Yan Chijue already knew that the so-called relative store in Xu Xing's mouth was actually the clothing store owned by his mother. How could he take advantage of it? He shook his head and refused, saying: "No, you can still wear it after sewing it. Don't waste it like this."

of."

Xu Xing was a little helpless about her frugal attitude, so he didn't mention it to her.

Anyway, when the time comes, I’ll go to my mom’s shop to fiddle around and see if there are any suitable clothes. Just think of it as a studio bonus.
