The next day is the Singles' Day that stirred up masses. However, Qiao Jing Jing could only keep her heart as still as still waters and watch the video of herself playing using Bull Demon.
Yu Tu really had recorded it and transferred it to the computer. He analyzed with her where she had done things right and where there were problems. "There are only the same few commonly used support heroes . Their skills are different, but if you learn one well, your awareness of what to do will be right."
Then she also watched a few videos of professional players playing with Bull Demon.
Qiao Jing Jing felt bitter. It was such a great Singles' Day. Fine, she was single and fine, she needed to practice up, but at least let her practice with a better-looking hero. Ah, the Bull Demon is just too unpleasant to look at.
At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Yu Tu said he needed to leave early today.
"I've a colleague gathering in the evening."
"I feel that you've a little too many gatherings." It made her, this female star, seem like she had no social life.
Yu Tu did not feel particularly pleased about this. "Isn't this just a normal frequency? Furthermore it's for that sort of theme of celebrating Singles' Day."
"…"
Yu Tu "coughed" once, "They said that they would also like to ask me something about work."
"…Go, la."
Yu Tu did not forget to tell her, "Practice well with Zhang Fei and those few support heroes by yourself."
Qiao Jing Jing felt a little depressed. He was going out, yet he still arranged homework for her?
She pointlessly followed him to the doorway. As she thought about how he was able to go attend a lively gathering, whereas she was all alone, she felt she was a bit pathetic. "It would be nice if I could go out and have fun with you, too."
Only after blurting this out did she realize that the words seemed somewhat inappropriate. Even if she was not Qiao Jing Jing, going there with Yu Tu would still be inappropriate.
While she was upset for talking without thinking, she heard Yu Tu said: "If I were to bring you, would you dare to go?"
Qiao Jing Jing stared blankly at him and saw an upset look flashed across his face for his own slip of the tongue.
Looking at each other in awkwardness for a moment, she quickly sent Yu Tu away: "Have fun. Bye bye."
This was also a gathering, but Yu Tu felt a lot more at ease at this one. Everyone clinked glasses. One of the colleague Xiao Hu said emotionally, "This year still has last year's people."
Da Meng:
"But next year will not have this year's people. Yu Tu will be going to work in investment banking. In that colorful world, can he still be like us and maintain his purity?"
So does that mean us brothers will have one person missing from amongst us?
"If things don't go well, there might be one more person, being Lao Guan."
Yu Tu was surprised. "What about Lao Guan?"
Lao Guan, his actual name being Guan Zai, was a doctorate degree holder who had come back from the United States. He was the chief designer of the same model as Yu Tu. Yu Tu was able to become assistant chief designer at such a young age partly because of Lao Guan's deliberate desire to promote him.
"His wife wants a divorce."
"How could that be?" Lao Guan and his wife were well known as loving couple. Otherwise she would not have given up her high salary job to return from the United States with him.
"How could it not be? Once you left, his work will double and the overtime hours will be longer. How could his wife not be angry that every day, she doesn't even get to see him?"
Yu Tu frowned. "What are other people doing? Before I went on vacation, there were two new staff."
Da Meng:
"What's the use of simply having a lot of people? It's not like you don't understand that the most clearly. What's more, with Lao Guan's lofty personality with high expectations, besides you, who else even makes it into his approval list? So when he's not satisfied with the work, the only thing he can do is just do it himself. The whole situation was brought about all the extra hard work."
Yu Tu quietly picked up a cigarette from the table.
"Don't talk nonsense all of you." Another colleague said, "Lao Guan has already reconciled with the wife. Today, he even showed off to me the breakfast made with love by his wife."
"Exactly. Da Meng, you bachelor, you're purely just being jealous."
Da Meng said 'bah' and everyone laughed in amusement. Xiao Hu remembered, "Oh, by the way, Lao Yu, I have a question to discuss with you. I think it has inspired me a little."
Before Yu Tu had a chance to say anything, Da Meng said, "Hey, you two, don't forget about keeping things confidential. We don't talk about technology when we're outside of the workplace."
"I can't even discuss about foreign technology with Lao Yu? Otherwise, what else can I talk to him in the future? House prices in Lujiazui?"
The two of them started to bicker. Yu Tu's eyes grew dark. Their industry had strict confidentiality rules. Once they were outside of the workplace, they could not even mention anything about specific technical aspects. In the future, after he left, he would only be able to get hints and clues from news and magazines.
He leaned back in his chair and lowered his head to light the cigarette.
They ate dinner until eight o'clock. The colleagues planned to thoroughly indulge themselves and then go to sing karaoke. However, Yu Tu had no interest in this, so he said good bye and left early by himself.
The meeting place for today had been at Grand Gateway 66 Plaza. Metro Line 1 was just below.
As usual, the metro station was crowded with people.
This was a magical city. If you were to head south to Xinzhuang and change to Line 5, you would go to Zhuanqiao Aerospace City. If you went north to People's Square to change to Line 2, you would go to Lujiazui Financial Center.
Two completely opposite directions, one side quiet, the other side bustling.
Just like a crossroad in life.
The metro trains came and went one by one. Yu Tu stood for a long time in the crowd.
