Mortal Kombat: Scumbag Men Stealing Away Yandere Girls

Xx

Bai Weiran was surprised to be suddenly summoned by the general manager.

He thought the general manager was very busy.

"Nothing special, don't be nervous. I just want to talk about how you've been doing lately."

Dong Zhengyuan was also summoned along with him.

Fearing that Bai Weiran would reveal that he had given Bai Weiran a low performance rating, Dong Zhengyuan hurriedly started talking, recounting the recent project situation like spilling beans. He talked about how many iterations had been done, how hard the employees were working, and how they even voluntarily came to work overtime on Saturdays.

In summary, we have worked very hard, but so far we have not achieved any results and are still in the process of trial and error.

Han Xin didn't pursue the matter further and turned to ask about Bai Weiran's situation, but Dong Zhengyuan interrupted, saying, "I'll go first."

“General Manager, since he went to help with the project, there’s not much he can do to help us… I’m not saying he did a bad job, but compared to other team members, he definitely has less heart to devote to our R&D project. He’s willing but unable to do enough, and I’ve always been understanding of that.”

What a clever trick to stab someone in the face!

Is your consideration the only measure of performance?

Bai Weiran raised his eyelids and glanced at Dong Zhengyuan. Seeing that Dong Zhengyuan was looking at Han Xin with great interest, Dong Zhengyuan noticed Bai Weiran's gaze and gave him a tense and sinister look.

Dong Zhengyuan was naturally nervous.

He was trying to intimidate Bai Weiran while Han Xin was not busy, but who knew that the general manager would suddenly call them both in for a chat.

This situation gave him a very bad feeling.

He is the producer, and Bai Weiran is nominally just his subordinate, yet he is called in to have a meeting with the big boss to discuss things.

What does this mean? Does it mean we'll be on equal footing with him from now on?

There had been rumors within the project team that the company was not satisfied with the current R&D projects and planned to start a new one, and that the current producer would no longer lead the team, but would instead promote new talent.

His own project was about to fail, and if a new project were to be launched, Han Xin would appoint Bai Weiran as the producer—Dong Zhengyuan was very unhappy about this.

It's true what they say: it's okay if I don't make money, but seeing others make money makes me feel terrible.

Okay, see you at 8 PM tonight (￣▽￣)~*

Chapter Eighteen: Time to Read, Young Girl

Bai Weiran knew what Dong Zhengyuan was thinking.

But he didn't react much and remained calm.

Firstly, the general manager never mentioned this matter to him.

If there were an interest in promoting him, it would be impossible to do so without letting him know at all and then parachuting him in for a promotion.

Did they think this was a TV show shoot or a game of make-believe?

Secondly, through a headhunter he knew, he had heard that Shile Company was looking for and poaching teams, targeting independent studios with existing project achievements.

Many independent studios have excellent technology, but it's difficult for independent games to make money or become popular. They have planning and technology, as well as a well-established and mature team.

Compared to poaching talent from all over the place and having to work together to build a team, a well-integrated team is a much faster and more effective force.

Dong Zhengyuan's angry glare at him now is just needless worry.

He had no intention of making a scene about performance now.

If this matter were to be debated now, Dong Zhengyuan could easily resort to sophistry, claiming that Bai Weiran was running back and forth between two projects and was not as dedicated to the research and development projects as his other colleagues.

He was busy with APP tasks and left the company on time at eight o'clock, which has already drawn considerable criticism.

His goal was simply to get through this period. Since the company was doing its best, not being fired was a victory. He planned to persevere until he accumulated enough points on the app to withdraw in real life and then happily leave the company.

Han Xin had only asked the two men for a chat on a whim, with no other intentions. After listening to their brief report on the project's progress, he let them go.

As they were leaving, Dong Zhengyuan suddenly changed his expression as quickly as turning the pages of a book, and with a smile, he put his arm around Bai Weiran's shoulder.

"Weiran, what have you been up to at night lately? Have you gotten a new girlfriend?"

Dong Zhengyuan suspected that he had some private dealings with the general manager!

Otherwise, why would the general manager have come down to "show concern" right after the performance evaluation was announced?

Can't we focus on making good products instead of this kind of workplace infighting?

Although he didn't know why the general manager suddenly wanted to chat with them, things turned out unexpectedly well. He thought that Dong Zhengyuan probably wouldn't dare to give him a C performance rating again in the next evaluation.

This made him very happy.

He had just returned to his seat when his phone started buzzing with notifications.

[Attention! Your target, S-rank girl Yu Mengmeng, has initiated a summons!]

[Attention! Your target, S-rank girl Yu Mengmeng, has initiated a summons!]

[Attention! Your target, S-rank girl Yu Mengmeng, has initiated a summons!]

Bai Weiran was speechless and could only go to the toilet again before turning around and going into the room.

As soon as he entered, the white-haired, red-eyed loli glared at him pitifully and resentfully with tears in her eyes. A book was spread out in front of her, and without much effort, she revealed a pitiful, abused look all over her body.

"I need to use the toilet!" she shouted.

"You were there thirty minutes ago," Bai Weiran reminded him.

"I want to go again now, I'm so anxious, I'm so anxious, I'm so anxious! I'm a super anxious person!"

Bai Weiran could only release her from her restraints, and the white-haired girl immediately jumped off the chair and rushed into the bathroom.

Here's the thing: After Bai Weiran finished his experience with the Pure Land game, he felt he still needed to address Yu Mengmeng's academic issues. Even if it was to correct her yandere tendencies by temporarily confining her to her home, how could she be allowed to play games all day? Yu Mengmeng is sixteen years old and a high school student. Even if she's currently studying at home, she still has to go to university in the future.

As a native Chinese, it is perfectly reasonable to take the college entrance examination very seriously.

Besides having her start reciting Zhuangzi to calm her mind, Bai Weiran also secretly went to Yu Mengmeng's house to retrieve her usual textbooks.

When I was getting it, I happened to run into my neighbor, Su Cheng, playing cards.

It can't be called a coincidence; it would be a coincidence if we hadn't played cards.

I don't know what posture or what happened, but the wall near Mengmeng's room started vibrating rhythmically.

How can a child study under such circumstances?

Bai Weiran opened Yu Mengmeng's book and saw that it was indeed cleaner than a baby's face, with nothing written on it.

Su Cheng only started building his harem after entering high school, and it quickly spiraled out of control.

How can this be? What will happen to my child when they go to university?

Qin Ning's situation is different. She has a good foundation and a wealthy family. Even if she neglects her studies for a while due to her obsessive pursuit of love, she can still catch up quickly with the guidance of excellent teachers. Even if she doesn't do well in her studies, she will still be a wealthy young lady, and the Qin family can support her for the rest of her life.

Yu Mengmeng comes from an ordinary middle-class family. She doesn't study, doesn't socialize, has no money, no professional skills, and no education. How will she support herself in the future?

The term "socially withdrawn" sounds funny, but its future is worrying.

Bai Weiran felt a sense of responsibility arise spontaneously.

He looked at the textbook and felt it was too outdated, lacking any content related to the great nation of China.

I bought Yu Mengmeng notes sold by top students from Tsinghua and Peking Universities, as well as question banks from various well-known sources, on Taobao.

Once Yu Mengmeng finishes reading all of these, her grades will surely skyrocket, allowing her to surpass the world's top students.

Yu Mengmeng was already unwilling to memorize and recite the entire "Zhuangzi". After seeing Bai Weiran throw a stack of college entrance examination preparation materials at her, she simply gave up and refused to take it seriously. Bai Weiran was ruthless and directly took away all the games. If she didn't study, she wouldn't be able to play either!

After several days of chaos, during lunch break today, Bai Weiran suddenly turned on the surveillance camera and saw Yu Mengmeng, the lazy girl who was fast asleep with her belly half exposed.

Bai Weiran came over directly, woke Yu Mengmeng up, and strapped her to a chair, telling her to focus on doing practice problems.

Yu Mengmeng refused, and Bai Weiran did not back down either.

Yu Mengmeng then asked what to do if she needed to use the restroom.

Bai Weiran then drew a bell on a piece of white paper for her. After setting it up, it became a summoning bell that could actively notify him. When Yu Mengmeng pressed it, Bai Weiran's phone would pop up a notification.

I received six notifications within three hours.

After Yu Mengmeng came out, Bai Weiran gave her a serious warning.

"If you keep misusing it like this, I won't come next time."

Yu Mengmeng did it on purpose; she just wanted to tease him and make him not want to study.

"Give me back the game, don't make me only do those problems, then I won't make a fuss!" Yu Mengmeng retorted.

He's half-hearted when it comes to reading, but full of energy when it comes to arguing.

"I'll give the game back to you once you've finished reading it."

"I'll consider going back to school if you give me my money back first." Yu Mengmeng stood with her hands on her hips, her posture not like that of a hostage, but rather extremely arrogant.

Bai Weiran remained silent.

Yu Mengmeng is physically weak. Due to a lack of interpersonal relationships and communication, her emotions and ways of getting along are still immature. She acts like a child or a small animal, rushing around recklessly. Bai Weiran also habitually gives in to her.

But this time he hardened his heart.

"No, it just won't work."

"Think it through. If you study hard, you'll have crayfish in golden broth tonight. If not, you'll have porridge with pickled vegetables!"

Upon hearing the word "crayfish," Yu Mengmeng immediately ran back to her seat, picked up her pen, and lowered her head with a serious expression.

There is still a way to control her, Bai Weiran thought.

He went back to work, but the girl who was engrossed in doing her homework looked up, squinted in the direction where Bai Weiran had disappeared, and the light in her eyes gradually faded.

Okay, let's make a scene!

Chapter Nineteen is outrageous, absolutely outrageous.

Looking back on this incident later, Bai Weiran would say that he was just too young.
