[froot: Oh!!!]
[Strawberry Egg Tart: It's rare to see the CEO actually show up! How about we get together this year?! It's June now, everyone should have some summer vacation, right?]
This old classmates' group chat suddenly became lively.
Everyone enthusiastically discussed the dinner party three days later, reminiscing about past dinner parties when they were all still naive students...
Now, some have started families, while others have established careers.
The handsome guy who confessed his love to me by playing guitar downstairs in the dormitory building back then has now receding hairline, just got married and has to pay off his mortgage, and is complaining in the group chat.
The athlete who was famous throughout the school for his speed at the sports meet did not continue in the gaming industry. Instead, he accepted his family's introduction and started working in a bank. His six-pack abs turned into a protruding belly.
The quiet, unassuming male classmate actually won over the class beauty. They both worked as proper game designers at the same company, and now, after six years of marriage, their child is about to start kindergarten...
Kerry, the most popular student in the class, is still a prodigy. He has inherited the family business and is just beginning to make a name for himself in the business world. Although it is still life, his life seems to be very long, and there are still many careers waiting for him.
And that low-key and mysterious Mingyan, who is buried in making games every day, is actually the most famous designer in the Sixth Star Province, and the "God of Games" in the hearts of every player.
They may still be making games on a daily basis, or they may have already gone to other industries and are working diligently.
Occasionally during team building activities, someone might bring up something like, "When I was in college, I was in the same class as Chief Engineer Ming..." or "Chief Engineer Ming from Blue Star even lent me his homework to copy back then!"
You'll soon become the most talked-about person at the dinner table, and might even be jokingly asked, "Really?!"
Everyone would then gather around with great interest, asking about interesting things that happened during their school days.
However, all of that is now in the past.
Three days later, they had a meal together at the same place, and the wealthy classmate Clilly paid the bill again.
Everyone was chatting and laughing, and they almost didn't recognize each other, so they still took a group photo.
It's just that when people reach this age, they can't help but sigh about their own experiences and compare them with the experiences of their old classmates. They are all just stories of ups and downs.
While they were eating lemons and drinking wine, no one knew that Mingyan's car had stopped at the door for a moment.
Mingyan did not go in.
Perhaps it was just bad luck, but today when he came out of the Blue Star Building, a group of paparazzi followed his car.
As the chief engineer of Blue Star, wherever he goes, he is always watched... not to mention what games he plays or whose door he enters to discuss cooperation, those are sure to be fought over within ten minutes.
He didn't go in and disturb his old classmates' gathering, lest the flashbulbs behind him break the peace.
At most, I'd glance at it from the outside, and have a drink in the car to pay homage to those youthful days.
232. Game creators
The banquet was very lively.
The students were all adults, and they seemed very familiar with each other, so they started toasting and drinking together.
Kerry, who was originally enjoying all of this the most, was not among the crowd. Instead, he declined everyone's invitations, went out of the hotel alone, smoked a cigarette, his eyelids lowered, and looked somewhat lost in thought.
He suddenly saw a car.
Mingyan never expected that he would be seen by Kerry while he was outside for a short while.
Kerry actually ran over and looked at Mingyan.
The two were silent for a moment, then said bluntly, "It's been a long time."
Kerry nodded subconsciously, quickly stubbed out his cigarette in the pack, and said, "How have you been lately?"
Mingyan said, "Yes."
The atmosphere was inexplicably awkward. Kerry looked at Mingyan's hand resting on the car window, with a discreet silver ring on his ring finger.
"You...you're already married?" Kerry asked.
Mingyan smiled and said, "Not yet. I just happened to see a ring that fits well, so I'm wearing it for now. We'll get engaged when we're less busy this year."
The Xia family is, after all, a large family, and their procedures in this regard are quite rigorous.
They plan to go to Central Star Province at the end of the year, and they need to notify everyone first to hold an engagement banquet before they can officially register their marriage.
Oh, and you can also stop by the Jia Lian (甲联) to pick up a prize on the way...
Kerry's gaze seemed to be burned by the ring, then he looked back at Mingyan's face, his lips moved slightly, and he said, "Congratulations."
He clearly said, "Thank you."
He felt he shouldn't have much to say to Kerry, since their relationship was rather tense back in their school days, though they weren't exactly bitter enemies.
So Mingyan politely said goodbye to him.
Kri seemed to have something to say, but remained silent for a long time.
After Mingyan started the car, Kerry suddenly leaned against the window again, saying awkwardly, "About what happened back then... I was so naive back then, I'm really sorry, but I—"
"It's alright, I've already forgotten." Mingyan smiled and said goodbye to him generously.
Kerry: "If I could go back ten years, I definitely wouldn't have done that! I would—"
Just then, he felt a fleeting flash of light behind him. Mingyan glanced at it, not wanting to be photographed by paparazzi behind him, and stepped on the gas.
Mingyan quickly replied, "Okay, okay, I received it. I forgive you."
