"...!? Who is it? An old friend? Surely you wouldn't keep something like this a secret?"

Bai Weiran was genuinely happy for Wu Ji. Putting aside that strange XP, a beautiful view awaited him in the distance.

"Well..." The silver-haired youth smiled brightly.

"I'll introduce you to someone else when you introduce me to this girl who's causing you trouble. Isn't that fair?"

Bai Weiran noticed that when Wu Ji said this, his right finger gently stroked the earring. The ruby ​​on the antique earring shimmered with light, so dazzling that it was impossible to look directly at it.

Chapter Eleven: Can You Grant My Request? (3K views, please vote with monthly tickets)

"Brother Weiran, I'll trade you this!"

Qin Ning picked up a piece of mutton from the rice noodles and put it into Bai Weiran's bowl, then took a piece of beef from his bowl.

Bai Weiran glanced at her, didn't object, gave a faint reply, and continued eating with his head down.

Qin Ning's practiced movements amazed Guo Guo and Achao, who were standing nearby.

Ah Chao: ...Subway, old man, cell phone? What's going on? Did the intern cast a spell on my Wei Ran? This isn't my rational, self-controlled, and morally upright Wei Ran. Something's not right!

Guoguo: ...Holy crap, Ningning is so fast? And Bai Weiran, I didn't expect you to be like this, Bai Weiran, you started pursuing beautiful girls so quickly?

Feeling helpless under the watchful eyes, Bai Weiran scanned the QR code to place an order, asking the shopkeeper to add two more portions of meat, three eggs, one portion of mutton, and one portion of beef. He then divided the two portions of meat and three eggs equally among Guoguo, Achao, and Qin Ning.

"Now that everyone has something, let's eat. Don't look at this, the general manager has a product conference this afternoon."

Although A-Chao found it strange, Bai Weiran's impartial attitude made him feel comfortable.

My brother Weiran is still my brother Weiran.

Guoguo, holding a slice of meat, hummed inwardly, "I understand now. It's easy for a woman to pursue a man. The revolution is not yet successful, and Ningning still needs to work hard."

But she'll definitely support Ningning! She's an absolute Ningning fangirl/fanboy; Ah Chao and all that stuff, get lost, get lost!!

She gave Qin Ning an encouraging look, only to find that Qin Ning's usual angelic smile was gone. Her gaze was fixed on Ah Chao, who was eating rice noodles with his head down, and her expression was somewhat sinister, giving her the look of a female protagonist from a horror game.

Guoguo was startled; her expression made it seem as if Achao was about to swallow a deadly poison.

She rubbed her eyes, trying to see more clearly, but Qin Ning had already lowered her head to eat rice noodles, looking at her from the side, appearing as obedient as could be.

Guoguo: Oh dear, my eyes are playing tricks on me, I must have misread it.

Qin Ning was very unhappy.

Brother Weiran is so mischievous; he always manages to evade things in countless ways.

I'm so anxious! I want to make him my own. He's very special to me, so I have to be special to him too.

Bai Weiran ate his rice noodles, lost in thought.

On the way back to the company, Ah Chao asked curiously about what happened in the afternoon.

"Brother Weiran, I heard that this product conference hasn't been held for half a year. Do you know why it's suddenly being held?"

Newcomers are always curious and think about all sorts of things.

Bai Weiran actually knew, but didn't say it out loud.

"It's okay, you'll see when the time comes."

It's actually quite simple. You can't hide the truth forever. People in the company love to gossip, and the news that the company was hiding an entire team on another floor had already spread like wildfire. Every day, many people went there to find out what was going on. Since things had come to this point, the company decided not to bury its head in the sand and chose to make it public.

This afternoon's product conference is a chance for Wu Ji and his team to make a public appearance in front of everyone.

The producers must have received the news first, because Sheng Nan and Dong Zhengyuan both looked visibly uneasy this morning.

Shengnan is a veteran of the company. She can't be described as calm and collected, but she can at least hide her true feelings. Dong Zhengyuan, on the other hand, is like someone with a thorn in his side. He can't sit still and has to get up and walk around every few seconds. He has already nitpicked at the art department more than ten times this morning, making the original artists of the two projects feel extremely wronged. They went to the art director to complain about Dong Zhengyuan's misdeeds.

The art director, Chongzi, was furious and confronted Dong Zhengyuan.

Although the concept art is assigned to projects, performance evaluation and the company's human resources manager are both supervised by the art director.

In game companies, on the surface, artists and programmers have to listen to the needs of the designers, but they are often dissatisfied with the designers' needs. In their routine monthly meetings, besides reviewing the results and discussing technical improvements, the rest of the time is spent complaining about which designer did something stupid recently.

You might think they call the planners "dad," but actually, the planners with a keen eye call all the art and programming "big dad."

When dealing with unreasonable demands, the art and programming teams work together.

Today, Dong Zhengyuan unreasonably ganged up on two artists and beat them up, which the art director could not tolerate.

Dong Zhengyuan's argument with the insect in the morning silenced the people in the nearby workstations, who were afraid of being caught in the crossfire of the leaders' bickering.

Although Bai Weiran wouldn't deliberately cause trouble, he still felt a sense of satisfaction seeing Dong Zhengyuan being angrily rebuked by the art director.

As he thought about it, a smile involuntarily appeared on his face.

Ah Chao found it very mysterious and profound, scratched his head, and retreated.

I'm on the first level, and Brother Weiran is on the fifth level. I can't figure it out!

Actually, the reason why Bai Weiran didn't tell him the truth was quite simple. The source of the information he could know in advance was Wu Ji. This information itself had no impact on them; it was something they could do whether they knew it or not. So, he preferred to avoid trouble. Gossiping was not a good thing, and good steel should be used on the blade. It was best not to delve too deeply into his relationship with Wu Ji.

If what happened today would harm the rights of those around him, then he would definitely disclose it.

When he got back to the company, Bai Weiran didn't go back to his workstation immediately. He called out to Qin Ning.

"Come with me, I have something to tell you."

They took Qin Ning away in front of Guo Guo.

Guoguo stared in disbelief, hesitating as she stood on the sixteenth-floor corridor.

Should I follow them and eavesdrop?

Xx

Upon entering the conference room, Bai Weiran closed and locked the door. Turning around, he saw Qin Ning approaching him with her hands behind her back, her fair face radiating a sweet smile, and her sweet, youthful scent clearly emanating from her.

"Brother Weiran specifically sought me out, and now we're alone in a room together. What are you planning to do to me?"

Her chest wasn't pressed against mine, but the distance was so close that the soft touch pressed against my chest whenever I took a deep breath.

It's subtle and elusive, yet it makes one's heart itch with desire.

Unfortunately, apart from her chest, she doesn't have any other physical contact with you.

Behind Bai Weiran was a door panel, leaving him nowhere to retreat.

Bai Weiran took a deep breath to try and calm down, but found that even deep breathing didn't work; every time he breathed, his chest pressed against the other side.

Although the initiators are different, the effect is the same: friction ignites a fire.

Helpless, he reached out, pressed down on Qin Ning's shoulder, and pushed her back.

"Qin Ning, let's have a proper talk, don't resort to this method."

Qin Ning wanted to tease him further, but Bai Weiran pressed her down hard on the chair. Then he sat down opposite her, bending slightly to look her in the eye.

"Qin Ning, I'd like to talk to you about our shared goals and mutual respect."

His voice was gentle and calm.

The yandere girl has an extreme lack of security.

Avoiding or wavering will only exacerbate her anxiety and bring her pain.

This is the inspiration Bai Weiran gained from his late-night conversation with Wu Ji.

Although Wu Ji had never met Qin Ning, he was able to clearly point out Qin Ning's problems.

"For someone who is extremely insecure, if you want them to listen to you properly, you must first give them a sense of security and make them understand that you are equal to them and that you respect each other."

Wu Jizhen's words were like a wake-up call.

It was about Qin Ning, and it also served as a wake-up call for myself.

I had always used an educational approach to reason with Qin Ning.

During a mission, of course he could. He needed to quickly correct Qin Ning's twisted feelings for the scumbag and prevent her from falling into his murky waters and going mad. But now the two were no longer in a mission relationship.

What Qin Ning needs now is his respect.

"What are your goals?" he asked gently.

A look of confusion appeared in the girl's eyes.

"...I want you, Bai Weiran."

Bai Weiran paused for three seconds.

"...You can have me if you want me."

“But you should give yourself more value, just like I told you before—Qin Ning, everyone has their own mission and responsibilities in their own position. You helped the sanitation workers, do you still remember that sense of accomplishment?”

Qin Ning also fell silent.

Bai Weiran pressed his advantage.

"During your internship, have you genuinely enjoyed games, this job, or developed any ideas about what you want to do for this industry?"

"Yes, right? I know Qin Ning, so she definitely exists, right?"

Qin Ning is not only intelligent, but also has the vision to travel between two worlds. The Qin Group in another parallel world is a financial behemoth that is thousands or tens of thousands of times larger than Shi Le.

"Qin Ning, please don't keep an eye on me all the time. I'm right here, I won't run away. You know what it's like when we work overtime. I spend so much time in front of the screen every day that if I could have sex with the monitor, it would have given birth to my babies."

Qin Ning was amused by Bai Weiran's words, but she didn't forget to warn him.

"If you dare do that, I'll smash all the monitors!"

The yandere girl doesn't even spare inorganic matter.

“My own goal is to make a good game,” Bai Weiran sighed.

"But it's not just about making a good game. I also dislike the current trend in the industry, where people are treated like disposable chopsticks to be replaced and washed. I hope I can lead a team so that I can not only get everyone off work on time, but also get them to make good products. To achieve this goal, I know that the skills I need to develop right now are far from enough, so I don't feel bad about going to work every day."
