One of the most important perks of working at Blue Star Studio is being able to play games designed by Chief Designer Ming in advance—that alone makes one feel very happy.
So the secretary was still very happy to receive the BETA test version of "I Wanna Go Home" sent by Mingyan.
Fifteen minutes later.
Mingyan's car was parked in the underground parking garage of the Blue Star Building.
Mingyan came out first, turned around and handed over a tissue with a helpless look: "Are you alright?"
The secretary, tears streaming down her face, took the tissue and said, "How could that thorn be like that? Waaaaah..."
Mingyan coughed and said, "That's how the new game is..."
The secretary was so angry she cried. Wiping away her tears, she exclaimed, "I feel like I've been played!!"
Mingyan was both amused and exasperated, so he had no choice but to let the young lady stay in the car to calm down a bit.
"I feel like I've been played!!"
The lingering sound of crying was heard by the security guard in the underground parking garage.
The security guard, in his fifties, was shocked. He opened his phone and anonymously posted on a mysterious app: "[Shocking! Chief Engineer Ming of Blue Star actually made his female secretary cry in the underground parking garage!]"
This app is a breeding ground for irresponsible rumors, and everyone posts with the intention of having fun.
Soon, the news spread again, becoming: [Shocking! The chief engineer of Blue Star was actually made to cry by his female secretary in the underground parking garage!]
[Shocking! The chief engineer of Blue Star scared his secretary to tears while playing in the underground parking garage!]
[Shocking! A female version of Chief Engineer Ming was frozen in an underground parking garage on Earth?!]
Rumors are nothing to be taken seriously.
Around noon, Xia Cheng came over from IPP's house again to eat at Lanxing's cafeteria.
He did this frequently during this period.
His lunch break was originally about two hours long, but now it was spent entirely on the road, which is quite puzzling.
However, over time, Mingyan got used to it. Sometimes he would spend two hours going to Xia Cheng's place to eat at IPP's cafeteria.
IPP's cafeteria is a bit more classic, with each window serving food through intelligent robots, and employees choosing their own dishes.
The canteen on Blue Star is quite trendy, resembling some kind of buffet restaurant.
Each food cart is filled with all kinds of food and is pushed around the cafeteria at any time, while intelligent robots shuttle around like waiters to serve people.
It's worth mentioning that IPP's afternoon tea includes ice cream and yogurt.
Once, after Xia Cheng finished eating at the Blue Star Cafeteria, he subconsciously reached for the yogurt next to him.
When Mingyan saw him, he laughed with him for a while.
After laughing, Mingyan discussed it with the cafeteria contractor that very evening.
From now on, the cafeterias on Earth will also offer free yogurt and ice cream!
Blue Star specifically negotiated with a very good sponsor to cooperate with.
Upon learning of this, the employees excitedly cheered on the Bluestar internal app.
[Long live the boss! Long live CEO Xia!]
[Mr. Xia, would you like some chocolate cake? Strawberry mousse? Or egg tarts? Please arrange that!]
This time, Xia Cheng and Ming Yan ate dessert on the cafeteria balcony.
In early June, the afternoon sun was bright and warm, making Xia Cheng's hair shine with a golden hue.
Xia Cheng casually changed the subject, saying, "Your secretary has been with you for two years now, hasn't she?"
Mingyan nodded: "Yes, two years and two months."
“…You remember it so clearly,” Xia Cheng said.
Mingyan laughed and said, "I used to think that I could do the work myself without a secretary or assistant. But since Xiaoxin came, it feels completely different. It's easier to delegate some things to a secretary."
"...It seems you really like her," Xia Cheng said.
Mingyan tilted his head: "Don't you like your secretary?"
Before he could finish speaking, Xia Cheng suddenly sat up straight: "No! You've met my secretary before! She's almost sixty! She's married and has two sons who have graduated from university!"
Mingyan looked bewildered: "Oh." What are you so nervous about?
After a while, Xia Cheng finished his yogurt and suddenly asked sourly, "Has your secretary ever been in a relationship?"
Ming smiled and said, "We've talked about it."
"Oh," Xia Cheng said, "How did you know?"
Mingyan said, "Although I don't pay much attention to this matter, her girlfriend is a UI designer in the Blue Star Art Group. I knew about it because I saw them showing affection every day."
Xia Cheng: "Oh!"
The dimples disappeared.
Young Master Xia transformed back into his energetic self, smiling broadly as he said, "Office romances exist on Earth? That's great, really great."
