After rebirth, I found out that I have a childhood sweetheart

If line extra chapter Yuan Ding Fang Xi·15

The layoff notice that Lin Youxi received was as unpredictable as the sudden downpour today.

Mei Fang accompanied Lin Youxi to clean up the things at the workstation, and the colleagues in the same project team showed an uncomfortable look.

Some people were absent-minded at their workstations, some were holding hands and bidding farewell to each other, some were squatting by the bed talking on the phone, and some were sobbing with their heads down.

You should know that these employees are at the top of the list of Internet workers in Pengcheng.

But if even a big company like Penguin is experiencing such fierce internal competition and it is impossible to stay for a long time, is the only way to end my job is to take the civil service exam?

It was difficult for Mei Fang to say anything to comfort Lin Youxi at this time, because whatever he said would sound so pale.

However, Lin Youxi was not as devastated as Mei Fang had imagined. Perhaps it was because Mei Fang was still here with her, which made her seem less lonely in this empty office area.

The two of them sat cross-legged by the large French window, watching the merciless rain ravage this city that was born only for struggle.

"Afang."

"how."

"sorry."

Lin Youxi swayed and leaned on Mei Fang's shoulder. "You accompanied me to work overtime for so long, but there was no result. I promised you so confidently, but I failed your expectations."

"It's nothing. That's what working is like."

Mei Fang told Lin Youxi about her own affairs:

"I used to work very hard with my boss, and the company was getting better and better, and we made more and more money. At that time, my boss and I were thinking about taking the company public, and we were aiming for financial freedom in one go."

"Then the Internet bubble burst, and all the projects my boss invested in went bankrupt. He laid off more than half of his employees. Now he's making a rubbish mobile game that changes skins and pays for games. It's no different from making a pile of shit. He's still alive."

Mei Fang's words made Lin Youxi laugh. She rubbed her eyes and smiled, "How can the game you made be so bad?"

“It’s not my kind of game anyway.”

Mei Fang sighed, "But it doesn't matter. We still have "White Plum Time", and you should have received a lot of severance pay, so you can take a break for a while and don't have to work so hard."

Penguin offered Lin Youxi a severance pay of 2N+1. Lin Youxi actually worked at Penguin for a total of five years, but during that time she resigned and was hospitalized in a mental hospital, so she could only receive a severance pay of half a year's salary.

Of course, considering Lin Youxi’s salary base, this amount of money is not a small amount.

However, without the various welfare subsidies from Penguin, the daily living expenses of the two of them, mainly the rental subsidy, will be a huge expense, so Lin Youxi does not plan to sit idle.

She patted her cheeks gently, then looked at Mei Fang seriously, with a look of determination.

"After I get home today, I'm going to start writing my resume and looking for a new job!"

"Are you in a hurry to find a new job so soon? Take a gap year first."

Mei Fang touched Lin Youxi's head and said, "Wouldn't it be better to polish our "White Plum Time"?"

"No, no, making independent games is my dream, work is my life, and I have to support you."

"Didn't I say I'll support you? Although my salary isn't high, I still have some savings. Let's figure out a solution together."

Lin Youxi shook her head repeatedly after hearing this, "That money is your wife's capital, how could I possibly use it?"

"..."

After hearing what Lin Youxi said, Mei Fang seemed a little unhappy and just kept staring at Lin Youxi.

"..."

"Are you angry?" Lin Youxi stuck out her tongue.

"What do you say?"

"I won't be your wife."

Lin Youxi pinched Mei Fang's cheek and said, "Although I look good... I am a psychopath. Why do you keep thinking about me?"

"Money can't buy my love."

"Alright, alright...if you like it, then you like it - wait until the next time I get sick, I'll torture you to death!"

Lin Youxi said as she started tickling Mei Fang.

The two people's joy was in stark contrast to the sorrowful scene hanging over their workstations.

The heavy rain surrounding the Penguin Building showed no signs of stopping.

Lin Youxi's job search was not smooth, because firstly, her qualifications were not at the top of the executive level, and there were not many suitable positions;

Secondly, the salary she wants is unaffordable by ordinary companies, and the companies that can afford it do not have flexible working hours like Penguin, which is not conducive to her bipolar disorder and hypersomnia.

So under Mei Fang's suggestion, Lin Youxi could only keep lowering her expected salary. For Lin Youxi, it didn't matter if she made less money, but she just wanted the work not to be too busy.

In this way, Lin Youxi finally found some companies that were very close to issuing offers and completed all the interview processes.

But Lin Youxi never received a formal offer, and all she got were regretful rejection letters.

The reason was that a history of mental illness was discovered during background check.

In fact, bipolar disorder does not appear to be a very serious disease. It does not affect intelligence and rarely occurs to affect other people.

But the most difficult point on Lin Youxi's current resume is that she has a two-month history of mental illness.

Although Lin Youxi tried hard to explain the reasons to the HR, she still failed to get the other company's approval.

She also didn't have a supervisor like her manager at Penguin who understood her situation and recognized her abilities.

As for Lin Youxi's former manager in the Penguin project, it is said that he is now planning to sell his house in Pengcheng and return to his hometown to live.

During the job-hunting period, Lin Youxi became increasingly anxious and often started to chat with Mei Fang at any time. Mei Fang would reply immediately once she saw her message, helping her analyze the problems with her resume and also helping her find some ways. Unfortunately, her responses were always in vain.

Every day when Mei Fang returned home, she would almost always see Lin Youxi sleeping on the sofa. She had filled the coffee table with various documents and interview materials. She was trying very hard to find a job but had not received any response.

Mei Fang also couldn't bear to see Youxi continue to be so anxious, as this would not be conducive to the stability of her bipolar disorder.

So he found an opportunity to talk to Lin Youxi about this:

"Penguin has laid off so many people recently. You are competing with your former colleagues."

"I think, why don't we wait for a while and make a demo of "White Plum Time" first. If the game is successful, I will quit my job and we can become independent game producers together. This way, we won't be disgusted by those bosses."

"Well, I don't want to be mad at those bosses anymore."

Lin Youxi raised his head and looked at Mei Fang with a worried look on his face:

"Ah Fang... do you think we can do it?"

"It may sound a bit boastful, but this is my own work after all. I know how good it is, and I am quite confident."

Mei Fang said as he hugged Lin Youxi to comfort her, "By the way, there will be a Nuclear Fusion independent game exhibition at the end of this month. I have already registered to participate. This is also the first time we will announce our plan to the public."

"Why didn't you tell me in advance? If so, I would have to check the code carefully to see if there are any bugs."

"There won't be any bugs in Youxi's code."

"Do you look down on programmers? How dare you say such frivolous things!"

Lin Youxi and Mei Fang made a fuss on the sofa for a while, then Mei Fang picked Lin Youxi up and held her close to him for a while, then laid her down on the sofa.

"Okay...it's time to take your medicine. I'll go get it for you."

"Ah."

"By the way, it looks like you're running low on olanzapine. Let me buy some for you."

"No, no need... I can buy it myself. You can't buy these prescription drugs without your medical records."

"Then I'll transfer the money to you. If you run out of money, tell me."

"It's not like I have no savings at all. I still have half a year's salary to use. Don't look down on me."

Mei Fang pinched Lin Youxi's nose and said, "But your rent will cost you a lot of your salary! We are sharing the house anyway, so just think of it as me paying you the rent, okay?"

"Well...if you must give it to me, I will also save it for you. It is your wife's money."

"How can there be such a cheap wife, who only costs several thousand yuan a month?"

"If I weren't ill, I'd certainly be able to--"

Perhaps realizing that he was giving Mei Fang an opportunity by saying this, Lin Youxi suddenly shut up.

At this time, Mei Fang smiled at Lin Youxi:

"So, you still want to be my wife, right?"

"What the hell, huh!"

Lin Youxi stretched out her legs and pressed against Mei Fang's stomach, "Go and feed me the medicine."

"I know, I know."

While preparing for "White Plum Blossom Time" at home, Lin Youxi had more time, so she tried to do some housework to reduce Mei Fang's workload.

From the simplest cleaning, mopping the floor and flushing the toilet to washing and drying clothes and doing a general cleaning.

In fact, she used to do a lot of housework by herself, but Mei Fang's arrival turned her into a stay-at-home type of person.

call……

How did I become like this?

While Lin Youxi was cooking noodles, she was thinking about every little thing that happened after she was with Mei Fang.

They have been living together for more than a year.

But it felt like a very long time, much longer than her muddled student days.

She initially contacted Mei Fang just to complete the "White Plum Time" project, but the two of them got along better and better the more they talked. Although they did not officially confirm their relationship as a couple, everything they did was almost the same as that of a couple.

Therefore, Lin Youxi had indeed thought about what kind of life she and Afang would live if she were not mentally ill?

They are just like those common young couples, shopping together, eating together, watching movies together, and making plans for the future together.

Maybe they will never have a place to stand in Pengcheng, but if they save enough money and return to their hometown in Baimei County, they should be able to live a happy life.

Lin Youxi had never felt the warmth of maternal love since she was a child. Instead, she hoped to become a mother and bring such happiness to her children...

Come to think of it, it was Yuanyuan who wanted to be a mother the most when I was a child.

When she and Lin Youxi played house, she always played the role of Lin Youxi's mother. Although she never took the initiative to say the reason, she probably did that because she thought Lin Youxi was pitiful because she didn't have a mother...
