Chapter Index

    Tianyu Games.

    Xu Shaochen just personally tested the engine that Cheng Jun sent over.

    Indeed, its performance is somewhat stronger than the one Tianyu originally used.

    Don’t underestimate this ‘somewhat’.

    In game development, even the tiniest differences can lead to vastly different results.

    “Quickly send someone to contact Cheng Jun’s company. We must acquire the project team responsible for this engine. Don’t talk about dreams, just throw money at them!”

    After witnessing the engine’s performance, Xu Shaochen became even more interested in the creators. They are truly a treasure.

    If we bring this project team over, wouldn’t engine upgrades be a simple matter?

    “Yes, Chairman Xu, I’ll book a ticket immediately and go in person.”

    The leader of Tianyu Games’ ‘Jianghu’ project group excitedly said.

    Currently, Tianyu company only has the ‘Jianghu’ project.

    The group leader is also a vice president of Tianyu Games.

    As the only project lead in Tianyu, the vice presidents have significant power despite their titles not being high.

    “Alright, you may leave now.”

    Xu Shaochen waved his hand.

    The vice president slightly bowed and then turned to leave.

    “Should I do something? Just hanging around the company isn’t quite right.”

    Yuxiu walked up to Xu Shaochen saying.

    “Ye Ling is still on vacation. You can temporarily handle her work.”

    Xu Shaochen said while giving her a glance, pinching her on the waist. “Besides, what? You don’t want to be around me?”

    “Of course not, I wish I could stick to you every day. I just want to help you a bit.”

    Yuxiu showed no discomfort with Xu Shaochen’s playful actions. Instead, she seemed to enjoy it.

    Seeing her playing hard-to-get, Xu Shaochen could barely restrain himself.

    A woman’s waist, truly a deadly weapon.

    “Ding ding ding…”

    Just as he was about to embrace Yuxiu, preparing to take the next step, the phone suddenly rang.

    Xu Shaochen stopped his actions, grabbed the phone from the desk.

    Seeing the caller ID, it was Lin Hao.

    Xu Shaochen guessed it was likely due to Lin Jin’s foolishness.

    “Director Lin, what advice do you have?”

    Xu Shaochen asked while gently playing with Yuxiu’s hand, feeling smooth and delicate, the best natural hand cream.

    “Mr. Xu, you flatter me. How could I give advice? My rebellious son Lin Jin caused trouble for you. After reprimanding him, he wishes to apologize in person. May we invite you for dinner tonight?”

    Lin Hao wanted to mend relations despite Lin Jin wasting a favor, hoping to get closer to Xu Shaochen.

    He chose to call Xu Shaochen himself, rather than have Lin Wei do it.

    This wouldn’t feel like repaying a favor and showed sincerity.

    Compared to Lin Hao, Lin Jin is a fool.

    People say father hero, son a great man.

    In modern society, this is less common.

    A privileged upbringing provides better education but can also lead to ignoring certain things.

    It can even cause one to become decadent, lacking any motivation.

    “Director Lin personally invited me. How could I not go? I’ll definitely attend and have a good drink with you.”

    Xu Shaochen said cheerfully, thinking one thing and saying another.

    Of course, he couldn’t voice his real thoughts.

    “Alright then, I’ll be awaiting your esteemed presence.”

    Upon hearing Xu Shaochen’s acceptance, Lin Hao was pleased.

    After some flattery, they ended the call.

    “Aren’t you going to give me a child? Just don’t raise him like his son, or I’ll be a busy dad.”

    Xu Shaochen casually said to Yuxiu, with undisguised disdain.

    Lin Hao initially set Lin Jin as heir, making Lin Wei marry Ye Ling.

    At that time, Xu Shaochen thought this favored son must have some competence.

    But after meeting him at Lin Wei and Ye Ling’s wedding, Xu Shaochen’s opinion fell.

    Cheng Jun’s incident further lowered his opinion of Lin Jin.

    Short-sighted, narrow-minded, greedy, ignorant.

    “Of course not. With you as a role model, our child can’t be too bad.”

    Yuxiu leaned against the desk, her arms around Xu Shaochen’s neck, speaking softly.

    Being praised by a beauty always lifts the mood.

    “Since you speak so sweetly, I’ll favor you now. Let’s see if you’re lucky.”

    Xu Shaochen pinched her chin with a mischievous smile.

    In passion, the sturdy desk becomes the best battleground.

    For an hour, no one knocked on Xu Shaochen’s office door.

    Was there truly nothing?

    Certainly not.

    Everyone was stopped by Long Yi at the door.

    Facing executives, Long Yi simply said: “The boss is discussing important matters. Leave documents needing approval at the secretary’s office.”

    With a stern-faced Long Yi, no one doubted his words.

    After all, Long Yi looks incredibly honest.

    An hour later.

    Xu Shaochen left, leaving Yuxiu like jelly in the office.

    After leaving Tianyu, he headed to Floral Peak Villa Estate.

    He must change clothes for dinner with Lin Hao.

    Earlier, Yuxiu excitedly tore off two buttons from his shirt.

    In the car, Xu Shaochen called Huo Xiao.

    “Hello, Little Dad.”

    Huo Xiao sounded energetic, showing her fever had subsided.

    “Join me for dinner tonight.”

    Xu Shaochen said directly, since Huo Ying allowed him to pursue Huo Xiao.

    He’s never been a virtuous man, just a person chasing his desires.

    “Okay, pick me up later.”

    Huo Xiao schemed to get close to him, seizing the opportunity.

    Dinner might involve drinks, leading to drunkenness.

    If drunk.

    She might seize the chance to turn the tables on Xu Shaochen.
