Mortal Kombat: Scumbag Men Stealing Away Yandere Girls

Ah Chao nodded, a smile on his face, indicating his approval.

Guoguo added, "Maybe there will be cute and pretty girls among them!"

Ah Chao's smile vanished.

Chapter Thirty-Two: Old Friend Wu Ji

Shile Company does not have its own industrial park or an entire building. Instead, it rents office space in the most bustling area, totaling three floors: the fourteenth, fifteenth, and sixteenth. Bai Weiran and Guoguo usually work on the sixteenth floor, while Achao's project is on the fifteenth floor.

These layers also subtly differentiate company hierarchies.

Because the company founders' workstations are all on the fifteenth floor, and the most profitable project teams are also all located on the fifteenth floor. The sixteenth floor was newly rented last year, and some projects that were no longer very profitable or were still under development were moved to the sixteenth floor.

That period drew widespread complaints.

The formaldehyde incident is causing widespread panic. The smell of renovations hasn't even dissipated yet, and people are already rushing to move to the sixteenth floor.

They ended up squeezing onto the fifteenth floor for several months before finally moving in.

Many colleagues also resigned as a result.

Money is necessary, but life is also important.

The three of them took the elevator down together. The fifth floor was very understated, without the usual ostentatious decorations. It was almost as if the company's slogan, "Making games that make the world happy," was printed all over the floor.

Guoguo and Achao were acting suspiciously, hiding their heads and tails, trying to peek inside through the cracks in the frosted glass.

"How many people do they have to use this entire floor?" Ah Chao asked.

"I heard it's only fifty."

"Huh!? There are over 150 people on our fifteenth floor. Doesn't that mean each of them has three times the usable area of ​​us? What are they doing in there? Doing aerobics or yoga every day!? Alas, we only hear the laughter of the newcomers, but never see the tears of the old ones."

Guoguo and Bai Weiran glanced at him at the same time.

It's fine for others to say this, but it's really strange for Achao, a newly hired full-time employee, to say it today.

"Weiran, hide quickly! We're here to scout!" Guoguo shouted to Bai Weiran from the corner, watching him stare openly at the doorway.

"You guys have been watching too many detective dramas from the South." Bai Weiran found it all rather baffling.

"We're all colleagues from the same company. We might not know now, but we'll find out later. There's no need to bury our heads in the sand. Let's take a look. If we don't tell anyone, then it doesn't count as having seen it."

Guoguo and Achao thought it made some sense. Just as they were about to come out, someone came out of the frosted glass door. Bai Weiran reacted quickly and immediately pressed the elevator down button. He stood at the elevator entrance as if nothing had happened, looking puzzled and talking to himself.

"Huh? This isn't the eighth floor?"

They portrayed the person who went down the wrong floor in a way that was both refreshing and unconventional.

Guoguo and Achao: …………

Bai Weiran, you're a dog. Last time you were righteously saying there was no need to bury your head in the sand, but now you're just pretending to be deaf and dumb.

Bai Weiran pretended to be intently staring at the changing numbers on the electronic panel, but the person who came out called out to him in surprise.

"...Bai Weiran?"

Huh?

Bai Weiran turned his head.

"...Wu Ji?"

"It really is you! Bai Weiran, holy crap, long time no see!"

The young man opened his arms and warmly embraced Bai Weiran. The old friends were reunited after a long separation, and Bai Weiran smiled as well.

Guoguo and Achao looked at each other in surprise.

Xx

It turns out that Bai Weiran had an old friend in the team that Shile Company had recently recruited.

The four of them sat at a table in the rice noodle shop downstairs, exchanging pleasantries.

Hello, Guoguo~

"Hello, hello, I'm A-Chao."

"Wu Ji, you can just call me that." The young man smiled broadly, clinking glasses with everyone as he raised his soft drink.

Wu Ji was Bai Weiran's high school friend, and they later entered the game industry together. Bai Weiran was relatively successful at the time and got a job quite quickly, but Wu Ji was not so lucky. He encountered a period of strict crackdown on games, and the company he was supposed to work for canceled his employment.

Wu Ji was unemployed for quite some time.

During that time, he applied for jobs everywhere and was rejected everywhere, but he was naturally optimistic. He worked as a construction worker during the day and played game boosting for others at night. He earned money while studying game stats and even joined a studio. It was Bai Wei who suggested that he become a cleaner. He strongly advocated the benefits of physical labor, such as building strength and working overtime.

Later, Wu Ji went to the largest company in the industry, and the price offered was double that of the company that had maliciously invalidated him, making him a legend among Bai Weiran and his friends.

It was the Whampoa Military Academy of the gaming industry, and also an assembly line factory.

Using big data and a culturing approach, products are created.

First, use big data to conduct market research both domestically and internationally, benchmarking against games that are currently popular overseas but have not yet been successfully ported to China, or looking for projects or sectors that have already achieved good results domestically.

Then, several of its studios began research and development simultaneously.

After development, the products undergo internal review, and only the selected products can be shown to the audience.

Those who weren't selected worked tirelessly for a year and a half, only to have the game fail to launch, the project drastically cut, and those with the worst performance kicked out of the company, while those with good performance were reassigned to other projects.

If you want to choose, you don't have a choice.

Wu Ji is the type who is capable but unlucky, always getting on the wrong ship.

It's not that the games are bad. When several groups of top talents develop games at the same time, the differences in the final products are very small. It often comes down to a single thought or subjective decision by the reviewer.

He just didn't get on the right ship.

Tired of all that struggling, he was later recruited by a producer he knew. He thought the producer was trustworthy and capable, so why not take a gamble and start a business while he was still young?

"It seems I've gotten on the wrong ship again," Wu Ji said with an embarrassed smile.

The development had only been going on for four months when the producer seemed unable to withstand the pressure of going from a corporate slave to a boss and having to face things 24/7. He chose to abandon his belief in independent production and instead sold his project to other companies, allowing them to acquire his entire team.

Wu Ji left a large company and voluntarily took a pay cut to start his own business. However, the team he was involved in was acquired by Shile Company, and he became a corporate slave again, even losing money on his salary.

Fate can take unexpected turns; no one can predict the future.

Guoguo and Achao couldn't help but show expressions of regret and worry.

I feel sorry for Wu Ji, and I'm also worried about my own future.

Bai Weiran looked at them and found it all amusing.

Wu Jicai isn't the type of person to be saddened by something like this.

After everyone in the world has finished being sad, it won't be his turn.

Sure enough, the next moment, the young man reached across the table and grasped Bai Weiran's hand.

Ah Chao's pupils dilated in shock!

"Hey, Lao Bai, since we've met again, there's nothing more to say. Quickly join our team. From what you guys just said, your current boss is a complete slacker. My boss may not be good at being a boss, but he's got brains as a product maker."

"I have high hopes for you. You have both product development skills and the ability to manage upwards. You get along very well with the general manager. Our project is currently receiving a lot of attention and the company is providing a lot of resources. Instead of staying in that half-dead, abandoned project, why don't you come and work with us?"

The young man smiled broadly, ripped off his silver-gray hair, and started digging people up on the spot.

At the same time, a car was parked downstairs at Shile Company, not far from the rice noodle restaurant where Bai Weiran and the others were having their meal.

"Thank you, driver," the girl said gently, and was about to get off the bus when the driver turned around and cheered her on.

"Good luck with your interview, young lady!"

On the way, the young girl said that she was there for a company internship interview.

When the girl smiled, the small beauty mark under her eye became particularly noticeable.

"……Thanks."

She had already informed them, and when she reached the fourteenth floor, the receptionist, who had already received the news, gave her a sweet smile.

"...Is this Qin Ning, the student who had the internship interview? Please come here. Your interviewer has gone out for lunch. Please go inside and wait a moment. He will come over when he returns."

Xx

Here she comes, our lovely Qin Ning is walking over gently.

Chapter Thirty-Three: Bai Weiran was so frightened that he fell down.

The reunion with old friends greatly improved Bai Weiran's mood, which had been low lately.

The fact that Yu Mengmeng's mission was terminated has been causing him a lot of self-blame, unease, and anger. He blames himself for not having his phone with him at the time, which led to such a big problem.

What worries me is what will happen to her next. Will the app assign another user to take care of her? Will she be able to get along with that other user?

What angered him was that before he left, he didn't have the chance to hang Su Cheng and his harem over a pool full of crocodiles and torture them severely.

He didn't remember he had a job interview until his phone beeped.

This is the "fourth boss" the general manager mentioned before.

Interns join the company to experience life.

Bai Weiran actually didn't like watching these kinds of dramas about princesses traveling incognito.

Outsiders might think it's just showing off and getting humiliated, but those around them are actually suffering terribly.

The workplace isn't a playground. If a useless asset comes along, you have to pamper and protect it and not let it suffer any grievances. This will lower work efficiency to no end. For someone like Bai Weiran who values ​​work efficiency, taking care of people with connections is the thing he dislikes the most.

There was nothing I could do; the general manager had called out names.

"You guys keep talking, or I'll head out first," he said, picking up his phone and coat.

"I remembered I have an internship interview, so I'm leaving now."

Watching him walk away, Ah Chao rested her chin on her hands, her face filled with the envy of a young girl in love.

"I'm so envious of that intern. I also hope to be mentored by Brother Weiran."

Guoguo rolled her eyes at him. "Wake up, you're a program!"
