No wonder Liu Min was talking about him. It turned out that Shi Jianning had a problem with his lungs. Shi Ran lowered his attitude and asked Liu Min, "Auntie, can you supervise my dad to quit smoking? He always doesn't take his body seriously. If no one is around to watch,
If you keep it, he will definitely smoke again."
"Of course, he is my husband." Liu Min agreed readily, but the conversation changed again, "Did you bring Xiuyan for Qingming Festival? Don't you have to visit your mother every Qingming Festival?
Is that so? Take him with you this time. Men do this. If they feel sorry for you, they will treat you better."
Now that Shi Ran had something to ask for, she could only unconditionally obey the "exchange conditions" proposed by Liu Min.
In the "Path of Learning" group, Shi Ran explained the situation and politely asked Cheng Xiuyan if he was free during the Qingming Festival and if he could be invited to come over to deal with Liu Min, as well as Wang Shuqin and Wang Yan who might appear.
This was also the first time Shi Ran officially told Cheng Xiuyan and Lin Huan about the death of his biological mother.
Lin Huan had lived with Shi Ran until now, and occasionally looked through Shi Ran's photo album. She was not surprised by this, she should have guessed it. As for Cheng Xiuyan, Shi Ran also felt that he should know it, but they both had a tacit understanding.
Just don't mention it.
Cheng Xiuyan didn't reply for a long time, and Lin Huan urged in the group, [Mr. Cheng, didn't we make an agreement? We will pay you back on time and help you make a lot of money in the future. You continue to do us this favor. You promised a thousand dollars, so you can't deny it.
】
Lin Huan urged Cheng Xiuyan to reply slowly, "I have arrangements at home for Qingming Festival, and I may not be free until after three o'clock in the afternoon."
Lin Huan was very dissatisfied, "What time does the cemetery close? You can go find Shi Ran after three o'clock. Can you catch up?"
Shi Ran didn't want Lin Huan to argue with Cheng Xiuyan because of her, so he quickly thanked her, "Okay, I won't bother Mr. Cheng by sweeping the grave at my house. Your appearance at dinner will be a great help to me. Thank you, Mr. Cheng."
When they went home to have dinner together in the evening, Lin Huan was puzzled by Cheng Xiuyan's attitude, "Is it really true that people are just leaving the tea? If you don't treat him as his subordinate, he will start to alienate you?"
Shi Ran shook her head. She didn't know whether Cheng Xiuyan was putting on a show for Lin Huan, or whether he had sorted out his feelings and decided to keep a distance from her in the future.
When it was almost time to go to bed, Cheng Xiuyan sent a private message, [What time will we set out to sweep the tomb during the Qingming Festival? I will pick you up at Sanlin Old Street in advance.]
Sorting out feelings and keeping distance? It doesn’t exist.
Shi Ran felt a sense of guilt towards Lin Huan in his heart, [No need, Mr. Cheng, just follow what the group said and meet again at dinner.]
Cheng Xiuyan called immediately. As soon as the call was connected, Shi Ran heard the anger in Cheng Xiuyan's low voice, "Even if we are just friends, I want to accompany you to visit your mother's grave. This idea is too much."
Really? Can you stop being so inhumane?"
Shi Ran was startled by Cheng Xiuyan's abnormal mood. She crossed her legs and sat up straight in astonishment. She hesitated for a few seconds and asked softly: "Mr. Cheng, is there something wrong with you?"
Based on her understanding of Cheng Xiuyan, this man would not lose control of his emotions so easily.
"What can happen to me?" Cheng Xiuyan's voice suddenly became hoarse. He took a big breath and repeated, "I'm fine. You don't need to ask."
Shi Ran remembered what Liu Yu had said before. Cheng Xiuyan was in a very bad mood recently, and was "half dead" when he asked him to write the project proposal. If it was just a frustrated relationship, Cheng Xiuyan's character should not be so fragile.
Something must have happened.
Shi Ran couldn't care less about the appropriateness to maintain and continued to ask, "Mr. Cheng, you don't just want to accuse me when you make this call, right?"
In the long silence, the only sound from the other end of the phone was Cheng Xiuyan's irregular and heavy breathing. Then, he spoke again in a hoarse voice with unsteady breathing, "Yes, I need your help, but I don't dare to hold you."
Expectation to agree.”
"What's up?"
"My grandma... may be dying, and my grandpa is also hospitalized. They are both almost ninety years old. I'm afraid this time..."
These hesitant words made Shi Ran's heart twist. She knew best what it felt like to lose a loved one. Although her grandparents and grandparents all passed away before Shi Ran was born or when she was young, when Shi Ran lost her mother,
She is sensible enough, and the pain is enough for her to remember for a lifetime.
Cheng Xiuyan had long said that his grandparents were thinking about his marriage, and his so-called help probably meant that he needed a "girlfriend" to go to the hospital with her to sort out the old man's worries.
"Actually, Lin Huan..."
As soon as Shi Ran said a few words, Cheng Xiuyan interrupted him with gritted teeth, "Shi Ran, do you have to be so cruel to me?"
It turned out that recommending Lin Huan at this time was such an intolerable proposal for Cheng Xiuyan.
If it was just to make the two elders feel at ease, and find Lin Huan or another girl to meet the grandparents, the effect should be similar. Cheng Xiuyan's personal wishes must be hidden in this. He didn't want to take others to meet their families. He was only willing to accept Shi Ran's behavior.
help him.
"Look, you won't agree." Cheng Xiuyan smiled bitterly, "If Liu Yu encountered similar difficulties, would you be so hesitant, or would you agree immediately?"
Although she knew that such words were a bit unreasonable, Shi Ran still thought about it for a few seconds. Whether it was Liu Yu or Zheng Cun, she would probably nod without hesitation.
Only Cheng Xiuyan couldn't do it, and there was Lin Huan between them.
Cheng Xiuyan seemed to understand Shi Ran's dilemma and asked helplessly: "Is it my fault?"
Of course it's not your fault. Shi Ran clutched her phone, her palms sweating. She couldn't handle such a triangular relationship. If there was a conflict, she would most of the time choose to put Lin Huan's feelings first.
Prioritize it, but now, she is not sure.
Is there anything in life that is more important than life and death? At this moment, even she felt that she was too cold-blooded and really felt sorry for Cheng Xiuyan's help to her all this time.
"Forget it, let's not mention this matter." Cheng Xiuyan sighed, "You will send it to me when the time comes for tomb-sweeping on the Qingming Festival."
After speaking, the call was hung up without waiting for Shi Ran to answer.
In the last week of March, Zheng Yongchun was knocked on the head by a white pigeon and the development schedule for April was advanced.
Shi Ran wants to prepare the first chapter of the "Monster Manual", a total of twelve levels of level maps, mission rhythm and monster positioning design.
During the Monday morning meeting, Bai Ge gave Zheng Yongchun a job list and asked him to put pressure on the Human Resources Department and complete at least two-thirds of the recruitment tasks in the list within a month.
Shi Ran glanced at the form and found that in addition to QA, the three groups of programming, art, and planning needed to expand their staff.
Bai Ge followed up by saying that he hopes everyone can actively refer people to others. If there are reliable people, he can quickly bring them over to chat. He believes in the character and ability of the current team members, and he will also trust the friends recommended by everyone. Internal referrals can both grow and grow.
The studio can also help reduce the pressure on the HR department, so depending on the rank, each successful recommendation will receive a corresponding bonus, ranging from one thousand to three thousand.
Shi Ran asked Liu Yu. He thought that bringing over familiar old colleagues would have an unexpected positive effect on Shi Ran in her future work. He suggested that she contact Liu Kai and Kong Wen as soon as possible and also ask
