Wu Ji thought: Is this what it means to be a sister-complex? Is this what it means to be a brother-complex?
I don't deserve to have a younger sister in this lifetime.
As for whether Bai Shimo went to see Mu Nanfeng, and what she said after she did, that remains to be seen.
Wu Ji had no idea, and he didn't ask, feeling it was best not to.
The epic showdown between a brother-obsessed man and his ex-girlfriend was brutal.
He hadn't told Bai Weiran about this either.
Wu Ji is now furious. He's scratching his head and pacing back and forth in his bedroom, turning into a grumpy old man on the other end of the phone.
"No, didn't you tell me at the beginning that it wasn't a class reunion? You said it was a class reunion, right? You said it was just a gathering of a few people from our class, right?"
Chapter 59 A strategy of first criticizing and then praising
The person on the other end was startled by Wu Ji's sudden reaction and paused for a few seconds before answering.
"Yes, that's how it was originally."
"But later, some alumni from other years contacted me and said they planned to hold an alumni association in the city."
"They're a large organization, and they invited us to participate. I thought it was a good idea. Whether there are many people or few, it's still an event, so why not make it more lively and bigger? Many of our alumni from Changlin work in the same city. We can have a big reunion, meet more people, and when you're away from home, you rely on your friends, especially alumni. Isn't that great?"
Which senior student was so blind?
Wu Ji frowned and gritted his teeth.
"So... is Senior Mu going to the alumni reunion?"
"Senior Mu? You mean...?"
"Were there any other girls in our year who were mentioned as Senior Mu?"
"Hehe, how do I know if you're talking about someone else? Senior Mu Nanfeng, right? Okay, you suddenly asking, does that mean you had a crush on Senior Mu back then? Confess! You've been hiding it well, haven't you? Back then you even said you only loved Hanfu ladies in your life."
The gossipy tone only added fuel to the fire, and Wu Ji immediately gritted his teeth.
"No, stop talking nonsense."
"Oh, so you're asking why?"
“Because…” Wu Ji paused for two seconds.
"...because a friend of mine wanted to know."
How could he possibly reveal what happened back then?
"Oh, I see, you have a friend who wants to know!" His words were full of mischief.
"...Stop talking nonsense and tell me if senior is going or not."
Wu Ji was in a great hurry; his life was at stake.
"Hmm... what should we do? I really haven't heard about this."
The person on the other end deliberately spoke very slowly, as if to create an air of mystery.
"Senior Mu is so famous, if she were coming, everyone would know by now. What a pity."
"Your friend is likely to be disappointed; I haven't heard anything about any senior students coming."
Wu Ji's face lit up immediately. He breathed a sigh of relief, having received confirmation, and happily exchanged pleasantries and said goodbye to the students who organized the event.
"You and Bai Weiran will both be coming, right? I've registered you both, so don't stand me up." Before parting, the person on the other end confirmed one last time.
With his major concern gone, Wu Ji was filled with pride and waved his hand.
"Of course, I'd be a dog if I stood you up!"
After saying goodbye and hanging up, the person on the other end put down their phone, shook their head, stroked the new stubble on their chin, and smiled even more broadly.
"Tsk tsk, Wu Ji, I never thought you were also someone who had a crush on Senior Mu back in the day."
How many people have asked him if Senior Sister Mu is going?
And they all made excuses, saying their friends wanted to know. I don't believe a damn thing.
He scrolled through his phone's contacts, shaking his head and sighing, a smile playing on his lips.
"Hey... We're classmates, don't say old friends don't take care of you."
"When you see Senior Mu at the event, you bunch of secret admirers will be ecstatic!"
He just won't say it, driving his secret admirers crazy with his understatement, using a classic "praise first, then criticize" tactic.
Xx
A few days later at noon, Wu Ji was using his phone at the subway entrance.
Looking up, I saw Bai Weiran leisurely coming up the escalator.
"I'll just say, 'Hi, wife.'"
Bai Weiran walked right past him.
"........."
Wu Ji jogged a few steps to catch up with him.
"What? Can't I even joke around?"
Bai Weiran glanced at him.
"...Your ear hasn't been bleeding lately?"
Wu Ji looked serious.
"It seems that Honglian has also acknowledged your status."
Bai Weiran: …………
This status can be taken by whoever wants it.
It's probably because Wu Ji misspoke and said too much that Hong Lian has already tacitly agreed with Bai Weiran.
They walked side by side, with Wu Ji grumbling incessantly.
"The reason you didn't take a taxi with me is because you have to go to the company on Saturday morning?"
"Young Master Bai, you truly have the soul of a working man, the kind of person bosses love most."
Wu Ji sighed.
Mr. Bai, do you know that your carefree overtime work today is because I'm protecting you?
After Wu Ji confirmed that Mu Nanfeng would not appear, he received a call from Bai Shimo.
Wu Ji was puzzled. How did Bai Shimo know that Bai Weiran was going to attend a class reunion when they were so far apart?
If there are cameras around Bai Shao, then there's a mole inside.
He immediately questioned him, asking why he brought Bai Weiran to see Senior Mu.
"I heard you're quite capable? You want my brother to meet that woman and tell her 'long time no see'?"
Wu Ji was immediately stunned.
Damn it, who's spreading rumors in there?
He explained the whole story of how the class reunion became the alumni association before Bai Shimo let him off the hook.
It almost turned into a terrifying scene where the brother-obsessed Miss Qin and her brother rushed into the alumni reunion.
Bai Weiran felt that Wu Ji's gaze was somewhat strange, but he didn't pay it any mind.
He was thinking about something else.
"Big Bear, please come to the class reunion this time."
Wu Ji immediately knew what his old friend was planning.
Big Bear was their classmate and also works in the gaming industry.
But compared to ordinary people like Wu Ji and Bai Weiran, who are common in the industry, Da Xiong's life has been much smoother.
He can be described as the chosen one.
During his internship, he participated in a project for Rednet.
No one was optimistic about that project. Not only from the outside world, but also from the company's internal rating, it only received a B rating. Seeing that everyone inside and outside the company was not optimistic, Rednet Company did not value the project itself.
The project lacked good resources and personnel, and staff were scarce. Although Da Xiong was an intern, he was able to handle the same workload as a full-time employee. The producer and lead planner were afraid that he would leave, so they made a promise to him that they would definitely offer him a full-time position in the future.
These words were originally just empty promises.
In this industry, 99% of projects that go live fail miserably.
If the project dies prematurely, there's no point in talking about getting a permanent position; the project is already dead.
But this project defied the odds and became a huge hit, becoming the studio's main revenue generator. Its revenue was not only unmatched on Rednet, but also among the top in the industry at the time.
The two superiors who promised to promote Da Xiong to a permanent position back then.
Because of this achievement, the producer was promoted from producer to head of the entire studio.
The project was spun off into a separate studio.
The lead planner was promoted to producer.
The game, which was originally just a beat-up old car, has been completely transformed.
Da Xiong successfully received a job offer and immediately became a veteran member of the project. Everyone who joined later had to call him Brother Xiong. He reached the pinnacle of his life at a young age.
But the legend of the bear did not end there.
The myth continues.
He changed jobs twice, and both projects he joined became wildly popular.
He's practically a chosen one born for gaming, radiating luck and becoming a hit wherever he goes.
Those who were sure they were going to attend the class reunion chatted in the group about their recent situations and found out that Da Xiong had started his own business, an independent studio.
