In the morning, when Zhao Xi came to the breakfast shop near the office building where Rhinoceros Xinyou was, the hot rice porridge had just been brought to the table, accompanied by golden fried dough sticks, oily salted duck eggs and exquisite side dishes.
My appetite was immediately whetted.
He couldn't wait to sit down, took a big mouthful of rice porridge, and then stuffed two shrimp dumplings into it, letting his already thirsty stomach comfortably stretch out, and his mood became happy.
"Eh? Where's Fang Xu?"
After eating a basket of shrimp dumplings, Zhao Xi discovered that Fang Xu, who was never late for breakfast, was nowhere to be seen. His favorite radish buns were half untouched, and he suddenly felt very unscientific.
Since the studio was upgraded to a company and moved to an office building, this small but clean and affordable breakfast shop has become the designated breakfast supply shop in Rhinoceros.
After Zhao Xi gets up every morning, he first goes out to run a few laps to exercise his fists and feet, and then runs directly here to have breakfast with others. This saves Lin Mei the hard work of preparing breakfast every day, and she also eats better and more
Comfortable.
"He is still asleep now. He probably won't come out today."
Ouyang Mu said: "I think Fang Xu was really hit hard this time. Who would have thought?"
Lin Mei said helplessly: "They are too despicable to use such methods!"
Zhao Xi nodded and said, "Then let's have breakfast first, and then go up and persuade him to stop thinking about it. It's not worth it for such a woman."
An Xiaohai lowered his voice and said: "Boss, do you think Fat Brother will really be fine? What if he can't think about it anymore? We are at the top of our company!"
Zhao Xi stretched out his chopsticks and tapped this guy on the head, and said, "What are you talking about? Fang Xu is not that fragile! I will give everyone a holiday today. You can take him out to play."
An Xiaohai shrank his head and said with a smile: "I'm also afraid that something will happen to him. If something happens to him, no one will quarrel with me. Then life will be so boring!"
Zhao Xi really couldn't laugh or cry, and shook his head helplessly - he is not a person who can make people worry-free!
After breakfast, Zhao Xi took everyone back to the company.
In the employees' living area, the door of Fang Xu's cubicle was closed.
An Xiaohai was the first to knock on the door: "Damn fat man. The boss is here to see you. Open the door quickly!"
But he knocked on the door loudly, but there was no movement inside.
Now even Zhao Xi was a little worried, and he quickly stepped forward and continued to knock: "Fang Xu, come out quickly. Don't make everyone worry. We can talk about anything!"
This time there was finally some movement, and Fang Xu was heard saying muffledly inside: "Boss, I want to take a day off today. Can you let me be alone for a while?"
Zhao Xi smacked his lips, not knowing what to say.
Lin Mei, who was next to him, said: "Brother Danniu, Fang Xu is in a bad mood. How about we let him calm down and figure it out?"
Zhao Xi thought that this was the only way to go, so he gave up the idea of ​​persuading: "Then let's all disperse!"
At this moment, Lin Mei's cell phone rang.
She picked up and just finished saying a few words, her expression became very strange.
"What's wrong?" Zhao Xi couldn't help but ask.
Lin Mei shook her phone and said with a wry smile: "It's Wang Xiaona's call. She wants to see Fang Xu!"
Although Lin Mei was not in the plane of destiny, she heard last time that Fang Xu had found a girlfriend, so she contacted Wang Xiaona out of the mentality of being the head sister.
The two chat often, and although they have never met, they have a good relationship, so Wang Xiaona also has her number.
"What?"
An Xiaohai suddenly got angry and shouted: "She still has the nerve to come to her door? Did she not lie to her last night and she wants to continue to lie to her today? No, she must not see her!"
The door was suddenly opened, and Fang Xu walked out, staring directly at Lin Mei: "Where is she?"
The little fat man's eyes were red, and his expression was even more haggard. It was obvious that he had not slept much at night, and he was obviously very anxious: "I want to ask her face to face why she did this!"
Zhao Xi and Lin Mei looked at each other, and the latter said: "She is in Shanghai, and she just made an appointment with me."
Zhao Xi said: "Since you want to know the answer, then Lin Mei and I will accompany you there!"
This is actually a good thing. No matter what Wang Xiaona's purpose is, if she can talk about the matter face to face, at least Fang Xu will no longer hide in the room and feel sorry for himself, and can get rid of the shadow caused by this incident in the shortest time.
The place agreed upon by Wang Xiaona was at the other end of the city, but it was also convenient for Zhao Xi to drive by himself. He ran around the ring line for more than half an hour, and then followed the navigation prompts to find the cafe.
Wang Xiaona was sitting at a seat by the window.
The girl who deceived everyone in the Yangmei Team looks very young, delicate and frail, and she doesn't look like a professional player at all. Although she is not a great beauty, she has pretty features and pretty eyes.
Zhao Xi thought for a while and said: "Meimei, you and Fang Xu go there together, I'll wait for you in the car!"
Things in the game belong to the game, and personal feelings belong to feelings. Zhao Xi can't help Fang Xu in this regard. Since Wang Xiaona asked him out, she must have something to say. Three people on her side are too many.
Lin Mei could understand this, so she and Fang Xu went there together, while Zhao Xi was waiting in the car.
He didn't wait for a long time. Before he finished smoking two cigarettes, Fang Xu and Lin Mei came back.
Fang Xu looked a little excited, and when he saw Zhao Xi, he said eagerly: "Brother Daniu, can you lend me some money?"
Zhao Xi was stunned and asked: "What's going on? Don't you have enough money of your own?"
Since he joined the Yangmei Team, the team has distributed dividends many times. A professional otaku like Fang Xu usually spends very little and the money he saves will never be less than 100,000.
Fang Xu swallowed and said: "Xiao Na is from Hua Yu's side, but now she has resigned. She doesn't want to do such a thing, but her father's treatment requires a lot of money, so..."
It turns out that Wang Xiaona grew up in a single-parent family and had been dependent on her father since she was a child. Because of her family's financial difficulties, she did not go to college and started working very early.
She became a professional gamer a year ago and later joined a game startup company. However, half a year ago, the company was acquired by Huamanlou.
After Hua Manlou went abroad, Hua Yu became Wang Xiaona's boss. It was also Hua Yu who used means to let her go to the plane of destiny to actively approach Fang Xu and act as an insider to find opportunities to attack Zhao Xi and the Yangmei team.
Wang Xiaona was also helpless. Her father was seriously ill, and her salary alone was not enough to cover daily expenses. So after Hua Yu made a promise of a salary increase, she still chose to succumb.
But after last night, she felt very guilty and uneasy, so she asked Fang Xu to come over for an interview today.
Zhao Xi frowned: "You believe it when she says that?"
Lin Mei, who was next to her, said: "It should be credible. She cried so sadly just now. I felt like..."
Fang Xu pleaded: "Her father is living in the hospital now, and the operation requires a lot of money. What I have is not enough. Brother Daniu, please lend me some, and the repayment will be deducted from my salary!"
"
"Don't say whether you can borrow it or not!"
Zhao Xi reached out and patted his shoulder and said: "We are all good brothers. Since you decided to help her, then we will go directly to the hospital. If the situation is true, I will pay for the money needed!"
Zhao Xi has always been very indifferent to money and personal possessions. Among Team Yangmei, he has the best relationship with Fang Xu, who has always respected and been close to him as his eldest brother.
So now that Fang Xu has taken over this matter, Zhao Xi will not stand idly by either emotionally or rationally, because he can see that Fang Xu really likes Wang Xiaona, or it is this true love that also moved Wang Xiaona.
In fact, Wang Xiaona's behavior was a bit abnormal when she was in the sewer last night. If she was determined to trick the Yangmei Team, the result may not be that the Yangmei Team escaped smoothly, and Zhao Xi killed one of the opponent's teams.
Of course, Zhao Xi also had to make sure that this was not a new scam. As the saying goes, you know the person but not the heart, so going directly to the hospital for verification was the most correct choice.
"That's great!" Fang Xu rubbed his eyes and said, "Thank you, boss!"
Zhao Xi smiled and shook his head: "Go quickly, bring her over with us, let's go to the hospital!"
"Okay!"
Fang Xu immediately turned around and ran towards the cafe.
Lin Mei sat in the passenger seat. She gently leaned her head on Zhao Xi's shoulder and said, "Brother Daniu, thank you!"
Zhao Xi was surprised: "What are you thanking me for?"
Lin Mei said: "If it weren't for you, maybe I would be like Xiaona now..."
When Zhao Xi first joined Team Yangmei, the situation in the studio was really bad. It was almost impossible to pay wages, and the team was torn apart and was about to be kicked out of the Thunder Company.
It was the appearance of Zhao Xi that changed everything!
Looking back at the past and looking at today, how could Lin Mei not feel emotional?
Zhao Xi smiled slightly, stretched out his arms and took her into his arms.
A warm atmosphere spreads in the small cab.
It's a pity that such a beautiful atmosphere was quickly broken by Fang Xu and Wang Xiaona who returned.
Wang Xiaona had obviously cried just now, and her eye circles were red. She was also very embarrassed when she saw Zhao Xi, and said weakly: "Boss, I'm sorry for causing you trouble."
Zhao Xi shook his head and said, "You are not sorry for me. As for the rest, I won't say much more."
He believes that the other party should be able to understand what he means.
Happy people are always similar, and unfortunate people have their own misfortunes. Zhao Xi is willing to help the friends around him within his ability, but he also hopes that Wang Xiaona will not let down Fang Xu's true feelings.
