Bai Weiran: …………
Okay, actually, C-class girls aren't stupid.
Chapter Three: A Narrow Escape - Ex-Girlfriend
"Brother Weiran, want some potato chips?" Achao handed over a bag of lime-flavored potato chips.
"Oh, thank you!"
It was supposed to be a learning and exchange trip, but the atmosphere on the bus was very cheerful. Who says adults don't love educational travel?
A-Chao and Bai Weiran sat in front, while Guoguo and Qin Ning sat behind them. Guoguo was playing a rhythm game, shouting that she was carsick and about to throw up, but she still kept playing. Qin Ning watched from the side and found it both surprising and interesting—is this the true face of a hardcore gamer?
Even if I get carsick and vomit to death, I'll still take this!
Is this the environment where the masked man usually lives?
Bai Weiran, with a potato chip in his mouth, thought of Qin Ning and turned to look at her.
Parallel worlds may share certain commonalities; if someone is a young lady in one world, they will also be a young lady here.
The difference here is that the young lady becomes her own boss, which is outrageous.
If Qin Ning from that world were to transmigrate and find out about this, wouldn't she use this authority to make herself beg for mercy in no time?
He thought for a moment and asked with concern, "Qin Ning? Are you alright? Are you used to traveling by bus?"
She was bedridden before and was a pampered young lady, so she probably had never ridden a bus before.
"I feel a little dizzy, but I'm fine."
"Try this!" Bai Weiran tossed her a candy, which Qin Ning caught with her hands clasped together. She opened it and saw that it was a salt mint flavored hard candy.
"Eating this should make you feel better."
He had always missed the taste of mints from Mengmeng's world, and after searching for a long time, he finally found this one from a niche candy store, which tasted about 60-70% similar.
Qin Ning felt warm inside from the care shown to her, and a smile appeared in her eyes.
Ah Chao saw it and curiously peeked over.
"Brother Weiran, you've switched from lollipops to mints now?"
Guoguo had just finished a game and was feeling dizzy while pressing her forehead, but she could still join the conversation.
"Ah Chao, you don't know, Wei Ran has a niece who loves mints. Wei Ran said she bought some for her before and thought they tasted good, so she kept some for herself... Wei Ran, I want one too, give me one, I'm really dizzy!"
Bai Weiran threw two of the seeds to Guoguo.
"I told you not to play rhythm games in the car, it'll drive you crazy."
"I'll fight even if I'm dizzy, I'll love it even if I die, rhythm games are my life!" Guoguo opened two candies and stuffed them into her mouth in one go, letting out a long sigh of relief.
"The dead have awakened, and I have been resurrected!"
Seeing that everyone else had one, Ah Chao wasn't about to be outdone.
"Brother Weiran, I want one too."
Bai Weiran agreed, but when he reached into his pocket, he found it was empty. A-Chao looked quite disappointed.
No one noticed that Qin Ning was holding the candy without moving.
niece?
Why are there other people with him?
When getting off the bus, she pretended to be carsick and couldn't walk fast. She walked at the back of the group with Guoguo, four or five steps behind Bai Weiran and the others, at a distance where they couldn't hear each other's conversation.
"Brother Weiran has a niece?"
She asked the question with an innocent and naive expression.
"Oh, yes! And more than one! I heard her say that before..."
The more Qin Ning listened, the more serious her gaze became.
That's true. I should remember that he said he travels between different worlds to solve the world's disorder.
Perhaps only half the story is told—all this disorder is caused by the [nieces].
Bai Weiran never expected that entrusting Qin Ning to Guoguo would be a disastrous mistake from the very beginning.
But he didn't have time to notice Qin Ning and Guo Guo's lagging behind.
As soon as they arrived at the entrance of Rednet's campus, the studio's producer and product manager were already waiting for them.
The producer was a stocky, honest-looking, short man with a crew cut, while the product manager was a slender woman with long, neatly combed hair that cascaded down her back. She was dressed smartly yet exuded the femininity of a modern woman, wearing pearl earrings. Her features weren't those of a stunning beauty, but she was clearly a woman of great taste.
She was all smiles, but when she saw Bai Weiran, their eyes met and her smile froze. Bai Weiran immediately turned her gaze away, took a step to the side, and stood behind someone else.
Enemy road is narrow.
That was his ex-girlfriend, Chen Tingting.
Producer Shengnan had already stepped forward to exchange pleasantries and shake hands. Xiaomo was sick and couldn't come at the last minute, and the person representing the product manager was not there. Shengnan glanced back and saw Bai Weiran. She thought he was a suitable candidate and greeted him with a smile.
"Weiran, come here for a moment. Let me introduce you. This is the producer from Tianqing Studio, and this is the product manager from Tianqing Studio."
Sheng Nan was very polite because the product manager of Rednet was different from Shi Le.
Rednet's product managers aren't just junior secretaries; they have real power and can influence the direction of the product.
Bai Weiran thought to himself, "Life really is about bringing up the very things you don't want to talk about."
Could he get any unlucky?
God: Read, will be implemented immediately.
Sheng Nan smiled and pointed at Bai Weiran, saying to Chen Tingting, "This is the planner for our project. Bai Weiran is an excellent numerical planner, and I rely on him a lot."
Chen Tingting looked at Bai Weiran with deep, moved eyes.
Bai Weiran avoided looking at the ground and said a few humble words.
Chen Tingting could tell that he wanted to run away, but she didn't want him to.
“…Hello, I’m Chen Tingting.” She took a deep breath and extended her hand to Bai Weiran.
Bai Weiran did not want to hold it.
She was even more reluctant than when she last met Qin Ning from the parallel world.
But the two producers watched helplessly as this was a friendly exchange between companies, with their company, Sega, still in a weaker position.
He could only reach out his hand.
"Hello."
He barely went through the motions, but Chen Tingting was clearly not like that. In stark contrast to the cold violence she displayed during their breakup, she held him tightly and wouldn't let go.
Guoguo and Qin Ning also happened to approach.
Qin Ning noticed Bai Weiran holding another woman's hand at a glance, and the feigned smile on her lips vanished.
And who is that?
Before she could even get angry, she heard Guoguo groan softly, her face full of hostility.
"Holy crap, Chen Tingting, what's she doing here!?"
Xx
Bai Weiran keeps his personal privacy private. Although he had previously made it public that he had a girlfriend, he rarely brought her out in public or showed her photos to others. Guoguo is one of the few people who knows what Chen Tingting looks like.
Chen Tingting had no interest in the game company and never wanted to come and take a look.
She felt that game companies were just a bunch of game nerds.
Bai Weiran is just one of the more normal ones.
If Bai Weiran's salary weren't decent, she would definitely have advised Bai Weiran to change jobs or quit.
Guoguo was very unhappy about this, but she was too embarrassed to criticize Chen Tingting directly because of Bai Weiran's feelings.
She knew that Bai Weiran was the type who kept quiet but was very considerate and protective of his own.
Even after they broke up, he waited several months before telling her, and when he did, he didn't say a single bad word about Chen Tingting.
Guoguo was so angry she was itching to pounce, and kept calling out, "My dear son, you look smart but you're actually stupid!"
Chen Tingting, who looked down on game companies, is now a product manager at Rednet.
Guoguo immediately got angry.
Oh, I see. Other game companies are just for gamers, but Rednet, the second largest game company in the industry, has a different status. Bai Weiran and her make shoddy plagiarisms, while they make exquisite ninth art, right?
Chen Tingting was clearly talking to producer Sheng Nan, but her eyes kept glancing at Bai Weiran.
The producer was also speaking, and Guoguo couldn't go up and interrupt him. She could only hold Qin Ning's fair, fragrant, soft, and smooth little hand, clutching her chest and looking in Bai Weiran's direction with a pained expression.
"No way, no way, no way!? What does Chen Tingting mean? She's not trying to get back together with Wei Ran, is she!?"
"My dear son, if you dare to get back together with him, you'll really be a disgrace to your mother."
Guoguo believed that Bai Weiran was rational, but the fact that Bai Weiran hadn't said a single bad word about Chen Tingting made her wonder if Bai Weiran still had feelings for Chen Tingting.
Even rational people find it hard to control themselves when they're in love.
In contrast, Qin Ning remained calm and pressed down on Guo Guo's hand.
"Don't rush, Sister Guoguo, I know you're in a hurry, but listen to me, don't rush."
Guoguo was very touched. What a gentle child who knows how to comfort people!
"...They can't get back together." Qin Ning's eyes turned cold, and her gentle tone instantly became sharp.

Until next Saturday, the update time will be from midnight to 1 a.m.
Brothers, you can go to bed early tonight. While you sleep, I'll write for you. You can read it when you're well-rested, no rush.
