When did we schedule a morning meeting for next week?
Xiaowang looked at Gu Yusheng with confusion.
Qin Jiayan heard “Hui Shi” in their conversation. Knowing that the game he was playing was developed by Hui Shi, he suddenly became interested in Gu Yusheng and turned around to face him.
Gu Yusheng had been waiting for this to happen. He secretly shot a look at Xiaowang, who instantly said, “Yes, we’re ready.”
“Okay, send the notes to me later,” Gu Yusheng responded with a serious tone.
“Yes, Master Gu,” Xiaowang said.
Gu Yusheng slightly nodded but didn’t say anything else.
Qin Jiayan then initiated a conversation with Gu Yusheng. “Mr. Gu, what is your association with Hui Shi?”
Gu Yusheng thought it might sound too arrogant if he said Hui Shi was his company, so he again silently looked at Xiaowang, who then took the responsibility of answering the question.
“Master Gu bought Hui Shi three months ago.”
After pausing for a second, Xiaowang explained more bluntly, “Master Gu owns Hui Shi.”
An expression of admiration spread across Qin Jiayan’s face as he looked at Gu Yusheng.
Gu Yusheng looked extremely calm. He curled up the corners of his lips and responded humbly, “Yes, my company developed that game. If you need any credits or equipment, you can directly contact Xiaowang, and he’ll arrange it for you.”
After pausing for a second, Gu Yusheng turned to Xiaowang and said, “Never mind. Why don’t you go ahead and make arrangements now and give him the maximum credits and all the equipment we have available.”
Xiaowang immediately began working on the task.
Qin Jiayan looked surprised but felt guilty at the same time. “Are you sure?”
“Yes,” Gu Yusheng answered in a low voice. Suddenly, Qin Jiayan’s cell phone began to repetitively ring as he received notices from the game about the credits and equipment he was getting.
Qin Jiayan was still young enough that the excitement caused his fair face to flush. He checked the notices for a long time on his phone before he remembered to thank Gu Yusheng.
Gu Yusheng smiled at him. “You’re welcome. As we develop more features, I’ll have my man send them to you.”
…
Qin Zhi’ai’s mom called everyone for dinner. Gu Yusheng went to the bathroom to wash his hands. Qin Jiayan followed after him and passed the hand soap and a towel to him.
As they walked out of the bathroom, Gu Yusheng leaned toward Qin Jiayan’s ear and whispered, “Does your sister have a crush on anyone these days?’
“I don’t think so.” Qin Jiayan shook his head. After a moment, he leaned toward Gu Yusheng and whispered back, totally outing Qin Zhi’ai to Gu Yusheng, “As far as I know, my sister has only liked one person. I saw her writing 3,472 on her calendar in her bedroom a few days ago. That number means she has loved that person for 3,472 days. Bro Yusheng, don’t ever tell her I told you this. I’ve been peeking at her diary since I was in middle school, so I’d definitely know if she liked anyone else.”
The number 3,472 was the number of days she had loved him. It was an enormous number.
Gu Yusheng’s heart skipped a beat, but his facial expression remained the same. He nodded at Qin Jiayan to let him know that he would keep this secret.
