Chapter 1090: Xu Shaochen’s Triple Achievement

Tianyu Game Company.

Xu Shaochen had just held a short meeting with the senior executives.

Then he let the company’s public relations department release the news about the significant data loss of the game “Jianghu.”

At the same time, Xu Shaochen also had the Xu Corporation’s newspaper handle the matter.

In a short time, the news of the significant data loss of Tianyu Company’s “Jianghu” was all over the top headlines of various websites.

Xu Shaochen, the person involved, made a statement first, expressing a headache and saying that he would focus on this issue next.

This was a publicity stunt and Xu Shaochen was cooperating with Xie Ru in an act, so he had to act like he was troubled.

Xie Ru could further report to Tianqing that the data of “Jianghu” was stolen by them to complete the organization’s task – to hold Xu Shaochen back.

Combined with Xu Shaochen’s cooperation, even if Tianqing was suspicious of Xie Ru due to Zhao Fu (Zhao Chen), any verification would be flawless.

Therefore, this matter was simply killing two birds with one stone.

No, to be accurate, it was killing three birds with one stone.

It settled the game’s publicity, cooperated with Xie Ru, and even fabricated a merit for Xie Ru, which would be his capital for promotion in Tianqing.

Xie Ru did not disappoint. As soon as Xu Shaochen created a sensation, he immediately reported to the Tianqing organization.

He claimed everything was his doing, completing the task assigned by the organization during his Jiangzhou trip.

After all, Xie Ru understood a principle: the fence-sitters usually ended up the worst.

So, since he decided to defect and change sides.

He must be clean and decisive, or else he would not please both sides.

Moreover, Xu Shaochen still held video evidence of his rebellion.

“Yes, I’ll continue to work hard. May I ask, when can I return?”

Xie Ru spoke respectfully on the phone with his superior.

“Don’t be in a hurry to return. Since the task is done, you can relax. I can tell you this was done well, prepare for a promotion.”

A voice from the phone sounded languid, as if it was a bamboo rat hit by summer heat.

Xie Ru knew the other side would send someone to secretly verify his claims. If confirmed, he could return.

He was of course, unafraid.

With Xu Shaochen’s cooperation, how could there be any flaw?

So, whatever the other side said, he agreed, looking like a model follower.

Of course, some unspoken rules still needed understanding.

“Um… Group Leader, should I bring you some local specialties since I’ll be in Jiangzhou for a few days?”

Xie Ru cautiously asked, with his ‘local specialties’ having research significance.

The Group Leader was his superior, similar to a large company’s hierarchy but with higher positions he couldn’t contact.

This Group Leader was the highest manager he could directly contact.

“Well, do as you see fit, just not too expensive. Oh, I’ve heard Jiangzhou stones are nice? If you can bring some, that would be great.”

The Group Leader’s previously languid voice became more energetic, as thoughtful employees always pleased their superiors.

Xie Ru understood this guy wanted jade stones, shamelessly asking for a few. A real vampire.

Though inwardly cursing, outwardly, Xie Ru showed another face: “Oh! Group Leader, what a coincidence, no need for me to bring them from Jiangzhou. I happen to have a few stones at home. If you don’t mind, I’ll send them to you when I return. They aren’t worth much.”

“Hahaha, how embarrassing. I can’t just take your stuff. So, when you come to my place, take what you like.”

The Group Leader laughed heartily, showing generosity.

But Xie Ru knew such words were just talk. If he dared take anything valuable, he’d face trouble for stepping in with the wrong foot.

I’d be damned if I fancy your wife, could I take her?

Xie Ru secretly mocked, obediently saying, “Thank you, Group Leader. I saw a lovely brush in your study last time and have wanted it for ages.”

“Take it. Once you return, it’s yours. Don’t be shy.”

The Group Leader was generous. After all, his study was lined with cheap brushes just for this.

Otherwise, why would so many brushes run out quickly? After some insincere pleasantries, Xie Ru ended the call, taking a break from playing the underling.

“Damn, wait until I get on top of you, I’ll make you give back everything you’ve eaten!”

Xie Ru cursed fiercely.

Meanwhile, online chaos ensued over “Jianghu” data loss.

Eight-Level Gale: Whoa, Jianghu was set to launch by year’s end, but now with data lost, will it not happen? I’ve been waiting for this game to save my life.

I Love Qiao Biluo: Haha, I bet Tianyu is simply unable to finish the game by year’s end, so they staged this delay, a publicity trick.

You could say this netizen with a delicate name almost saw the truth.

Unfortunately, truth sometimes isn’t believed.

I Love Singing and Basketball: Is the person above an idiot? True to their name? Do you know who Xu Shaochen is? Does he need this for publicity? Is Brother, Come Chop Me: Agreed, I think the person above is right. Xu Corporation or Tianyu doesn’t need such methods. Just wondering if the game’s release will go smoothly.

I’m Zhazhahui: Whether it releases doesn’t matter, I never expected much from this game. Given the current tech, making a true virtual reality game is impossible. With online debates ranging from concern to ridicule to indifference.

Xu Shaochen, the protagonist, was in the office with his secretary Ye Ling and assistant Yuxiu watching a movie.

What movie were they watching?

Of course, it was one of great educational significance for adults.

Those thinking otherwise, go reflect.

They were watching a science documentary.

Don’t say women don’t like science documentaries.

Depends on who they’re with.

Like now.

Weren’t the two women watching the big screen with great interest?
