Mortal Kombat: Scumbag Men Stealing Away Yandere Girls

But then you lose the joy of exploring on your own.

The washing machine lid is closed, it starts running, and the final blend of fragrances fills the air.

She leaned against the washing machine on the balcony, watching the red glow of the setting sun.

It's been a whole day, why hasn't he called yet?

She was just waiting for him to call and yell at her!

Even when Mr. Weiran is angry, he's still adorable.

She waited for five days, but Bai Weiran didn't send her a single message.

Xx

Bai Weiran was indeed angry at first.

But he quickly calmed down.

It's pointless to criticize or argue with Xia Yanle.

Xia Yanle is so smart, of course she knew it was wrong to do this, but she did it anyway.

I just wanted to play a prank.

If you get angry at someone like that, she won't feel guilty. According to the logic of a yandere, if he scolds her, it will only make her happier.

Bai Weiran simply ignored the issue.

The conclusion is that what's done is done; he and Mingguang have regained their memories, and Mingguang now lives next door to him.

After regaining Mingguang's memories, Bai Weiran was no longer as worried as before.

Now we know each other inside and out.

Mingguang is simple-minded by nature; to put it bluntly, he is somewhat of a wild animal, simple-minded, physically strong, and charming.

You can't confront someone like that head-on. She can't understand your reasoning and only believes in herself. But if you go along with her and encourage her, she'll be able to tell you everything.

Bai Weiran's eyes were indifferent, lacking their usual calm light.

That day at the fast food restaurant, he smiled and accepted Mingguang's pinky promise.

"You did keep your promise, and I believe you."

“From today onwards, we are friends,” he said.

“My friend, tell me what has happened to you all these years. Are you doing well in the theater troupe? What countries have you been to? How have your adoptive parents treated you?”

Mingguang was very happy and talked on and on.

She has been doing well these past few years.

Ah Chao's aunt, whose full name is Shen Sulan, is a petite woman with a bright light in her eyes.

Having been childless for many years, they adopted Mingguang and loved him dearly.

They are not biological parents, but they are far better than biological parents; they have worked hard to raise and nurture their children.

Her adoptive father was a policeman, an upright man who loved his adopted daughter dearly.

After Mingguang demonstrated her talent for dance, many theater troupes came to recruit her. At that time, Mingguang was a minor, and her adoptive parents were not from the arts and culture circles. They were blind and worried that she would encounter some dirty or unreasonable treatment in the theater troupe, so the two of them took turns accompanying her.

Therefore, there is a long-standing joke about Mingguang within the troupe.

Mingguang was taken away by the police as soon as get out of class ended.

Bai Weiran remained silent for a few seconds after hearing this.

Police officers adopting yandere (a person with obsessive and toxic personality traits) – does this count as bringing criminals under protection and surveillance in advance?

Bai Weiran finally got the information he wanted.

Mingguang had a very good relationship with his adoptive parents, his friends in the theater troupe, and the troupe leader.

They loved Mingguang very much, and Mingguang was very happy.

Excellent! Let them pull Mingguang away!

On one side are her loving adoptive parents and her theater troupe friends.

On one hand, there's her childhood playmate, whom she considers dispensable and who is also the object of her so-called love at first sight.

Bai Weiran doesn't believe that love at first sight can last long.

Today was the monthly meeting of Shile Company. People from all projects were present. The conference room was packed with people. The producer and lead planner sat in the front row, senior staff sat in the middle, and seniority determined the seating arrangement. All the newcomers stood around the perimeter.

It's not that Shile Company has any rules, it's just that people in the workplace all know how to read the room.

Standing a little longer is fine; what's annoying is running into some petty old fox who'll make things difficult for you.

Guoguo sat down next to Bai Weiran, intending to say a few words of comfort, but seeing Bai Weiran's displeasure, she took back her words.

She thought, "My son is in a bad mood too. I can't really help by comforting him myself."

There's a lot of undercurrent going on in the company right now.

The problem lies with Bai Weiran's project and Wu Ji's team.

At the time, Shile Company saw that none of its producers were capable, and it wanted to skip the 0 to 1 development stage and make quick money, so it recruited Wu Ji's R&D team.

Unexpectedly, Dong Zhengyuan stepped down and Bai Weiran took over. After a period of ups and downs and various underhanded tactics, Bai Weiran still managed to build a team right after the New Year. He adhered to the principle of prioritizing quality over quantity, eliminating the dross and keeping the essence, and used a senior and steady veteran to lead a promising newcomer. He was clearly a dark horse that emerged from the crowd.

Dissenting voices within the project were suppressed, operations proceeded smoothly, and everyone was on track.

Attitude can be seen in many subtle ways in the workplace.

The art director replaced Xuexue and then assigned two senior concept artists to Bai Weiran.

With limited resources, especially in a poor economic climate and tight policies, small and medium-sized companies like Shile are more concerned about resource expenditures than large companies.

There are two game projects competing for resources within the company, and they are likely to be completed around the same time. Where does the company plan to allocate resources?

Many of the company's veteran employees couldn't stand Bai Weiran.

Too young, rising too fast, like riding in a helicopter.

While he was leading the project, there were constant rumors and slanders against Guoguo. But now that there is competition, these veteran employees of the company have suddenly switched sides to Bai Weiran's side.

It's better to support your own monks who can chant sutras than to bring in monks from elsewhere.

Wu Ji's team was suddenly ostracized by others, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

Even if Bai Weiran had no such intention, the slightest disturbance can cause conflict for the capable.

Unless you voluntarily admit defeat.

Guoguo sighed.

Fate is cruel. In the past, my son and Li Liang were locked in a love-hate relationship, and now my son is to be locked in a love-hate relationship with Wu Ji.

God! How cruel you are!!

This process was so heartbreaking that she could even imagine a BL (Boys' Love) tragic romance storyline in her mind—

If Bai Weiran could hear Guoguo's inner thoughts, he would only give three words.

Show, show, way!

He and Wu Ji didn't care about this at all.

They all knew very well that competition was unavoidable in the company's projects, and that losing was a common occurrence in business.

Moreover, Wu Ji was not ambitious.

Wu Ji is different from Li Liang. Li Liang came with his eyes set on the producer position under Sheng Nan's buttocks.

Wu Ji makes games out of interest, and he specifically chooses ancient-style projects that he wants to participate in.

If he weren't limited to the ancient style, Wu Ji would have had many options given his abilities, but he just wanted to stick to the ancient style.

Even if Wu Ji's project is canceled, he will at most stay in Bai Weiran's project for a while as a stepping stone to find a new job, and then he will move on to the Heartbeat Guest project.

The three friends each had their own thoughts and desires.

Bai Weiran wanted to make a good game. Becoming a hit was a matter of fate, but a good game depended on the creator's ability. He wanted to make a game that would make the project team happy, and that would make him happy too.

Li Liang doesn't care much about whether a game is good or bad, but he has a clear distinction in his mind—a game that makes money is a good game, and his goal is to make games that make money, or to climb to a high position in a money-making project.

Wu Ji – I hope my project won't fail again and will launch smoothly this time!

Always so easygoing and carefree, Wu Ji's career was uneventful and uneventful, drifting along with the tide.

Chapter Twenty-Four: I Heard There Was a Terrible Man

Bai Weiran lowered his head and quickly sent a message. Guoguo happened to peek over and was stunned to find that it was all in a foreign language.

"...My son, are you chatting with a foreign friend?"

The object appeared to be a middle-aged man with blond hair and blue eyes.

I can understand a beautiful woman, but a middle-aged man?

Guoguo looked puzzled, but Bai Weiran remained expressionless and immediately turned off the phone screen.

"Well, I feel like my foreign language skills have been declining lately, so I chatted with a foreign friend. General Manager Han said that we will also be making a global version of this project in the future, and we can't just leave everything to the translator if we can't understand it ourselves."

Guoguo thought it made sense, nodded, and then suddenly exclaimed "Ah!"

“My son, what do you think about us looking for Shen Dingchao’s cousin? That Mingguang girl we went out with last time.”

"Didn't she grow up abroad? If she has a temporary job and some free time, we can have her help with the translation and oversight!"

The globalization of games is generally achieved through outsourcing.

The demand wasn't high enough for translators to be permanently stationed on the project, so not using them as full-time employees could save on expenses.

"She's probably busy."

Bai Weiran's phone vibrated. He glanced at it and stood up abruptly.

"I'm going to the restroom. If there's anything important, please write it down for me. I'll review the meeting minutes when I get back."

"……? The monthly meeting is at least thirty minutes away, are you going to be gone for that long?"
