297 Freeloading
Just as Shen Yi said this, Shen Fang’s expression instantly froze.
For a moment, the atmosphere at the door became a little awkward.
Shen Yi looked at Shen Fang and then said, “He’s from the same studio as me and we’re good friends. I want him to send me back after dinner.”
Shen Fang helplessly looked at Shen Yi, then nodded and said, “Alright then. You didn’t even tell me in advance.”
Just as Shen Fang was about to bring slippers for the two of them, father Shen walked out from behind them.
When he saw Shen Yi and Su Ming, he first nodded at Shen Yi, then locked his gaze on Su Ming.
“Brat, are you here to freeload again?”
Su Ming could not help but chuckle softly. Then, he carried the gift in his hands and walked into the Shen family.
“Exactly. I know you’re good at cooking, Uncle Shen. I’ll treat you to a meal whenever I can.”
Father Shen smiled and didn’t say anything.
After he told Shen Yi to take good care of Su Ming, he went back into the kitchen.
The three of them entered the living room, and the atmosphere was obviously a little tense and awkward.
However, Su Ming was not the type to be afraid of embarrassment, so he did not feel uncomfortable.
As for Shen Fang, he wasn’t too interested in him, so he didn’t take the initiative to bring up any topics.
The three of them continued to chat in the living room.
Shen Yi herself did not have a good impression of her brother.
It wasn’t until Father Shen finished cooking and they sat down at the table that the atmosphere eased a little.
“How’s the progress of your studio?”
Father Shen suddenly asked, and the question seemed to be directed at Su Ming and Shen Yi.
However, his gaze was fixed in Su Ming’s direction throughout the entire process.
Once Su Ming received his gaze, he did not have anything to be afraid of. He simply answered,
“It’s been developing quite well. The studio has been open for some time now. In the studio’s public account, other than the 800000 Yuan used to buy the equipment, there are still a few hundred thousand Yuan left.”
“At the end of each month, half of the balance will be repaid to the studio members’ accounts in the form of bonuses.”
“According to my estimation, the balance that will be sent to Shen Yi’s account this month should be around 50000.”
When Father Shen heard Su Ming’s words, he only nodded his head slightly. He did not say anything more, nor did he give any comments.
After everyone continued eating for a while, Father Shen suddenly asked, “What are your plans for the future?”
Everyone put down their chopsticks in unison. After Shen Fang heard this question, his brows furrowed even more.
Su Ming naturally knew that the question was directed at him. After thinking about it for a while, he turned his gaze toward Shen Yi.
The two of them looked at each other, and Shen Yi shook her head helplessly, “Dad, you’re here to interrogate a criminal?”
Father Shen was stunned at first, then he chuckled and said, “Do you think I don’t know your thoughts? I should at least know what he’s planning for the future, right?”
Shen Yi didn’t expect her father to be so direct. She originally wanted to shut him up, but she blushed instead.
She quickly turned her head around and looked at Su Ming, “Don’t think too much. That’s just how my dad is.”
Su Ming smiled and looked at Father Shen.
“The world is in turmoil now. Everything is similar to the Origin of Humans: Horde is closely related to this game.”
“My current plan is to first gain a firm foothold in this game. After I see the truth, I will then decide where I want to develop.”
“I’m doing pretty well in the game, Shen Yi can prove what I said.”
Su Ming’s serious reply surprised Shen Yi.
After casting a glance at Su Ming, Shen Yi turned around to look at her father and said in an unpleasant tone,
“Are you satisfied now?”
Father Shen smiled and did not continue to discuss this issue.
After this round of questions and answers, the atmosphere on the field suddenly became much better.
The atmosphere of everyone’s conversation became much more lively. Shen Fang’s gaze swept over everyone for a while.
In the end, his eyes fell on Shen Yi again.
“Little Yi, actually, the main reason why I organized this family banquet this time is still for you.”
When Shen Yi heard this, her brows unconsciously furrowed and she looked at Shen Fang with some doubt.
“Me?”
Shen Fang nodded and said, “It’s just like what Su Ming said just now. The world is in too much of a mess right now, and everything is related to that game.”
“I’m the manager of Shencun Gaming Company. I definitely know more than ordinary players.”
“That’s why I hope you can listen to my opinion and think about your future plans for the game.”
When she heard Shen Fang’s words, Shen Yi was slightly startled at first, then her brows furrowed.
“Big brother, I’m doing pretty well at Su Ming’s studio. I don’t like it and I don’t plan to go to your place anymore.”
“I’m very sure that I’m in the environment I want.”
Shen Fang frowned. Just as he was about to say something, father Shen opened his mouth.
“Eat, the dishes are getting cold.”
“Dad…”
“Eat!”
Father Shen’s serious attitude also made Shen Fang stop the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
Su Ming and Shen Yi exchanged a glance, and Shen Yi shook her head at Su Ming.
Su Ming could understand what she meant, “It’s fine.”
When he saw this, Su Ming did not say anything.
Shen Fang naturally didn’t dare to say anything more after being scolded like this.
The meal ended quietly, but before Su Ming and Shen Yi left, Shen Fang said one last thing to the two.
“Little Yi, I hope you can reconsider.”
“As for Su Ming, I think you’re also a man of great potential. If you’re willing, you can come here with Little Yi.”
Shen Yi did not say anything, but Su Ming politely replied, “I’ll consider it.”
Perhaps he could also tell that Su Ming was just being perfunctory, but Shen Fang did not say anything else.
Once the two of them walked out of the district, Shen Yi first turned her head to look at Su Ming, who was beside her, before she sighed and said, “I knew it. My brother came to me like this to recruit me into his team.”
When Su Ming heard that, he first laughed softly, then said, “Actually, I’m very curious as to what your brother’s purpose is for doing this.”
Chen Yi frowned and thought for a while. In the end, she couldn’t think of a reason and could only shake her head helplessly.
Su Ming thought about it for a moment before he said, “Actually, there’s something that I haven’t told you, but it’s time to tell you now.”
