The next morning, in the early hours, he arrived at the office. He instructed his assistant to notify him when the head of the gaming company arrived and then entered his own office.
“Ah, now 1 finally understand the boss’ feelings. If we only play alone, we won’t be able to progress much after a while!” Ling Chen gazed at the astonished Great White Shark icon on his computer screen and could relate to how Zhou Chao felt yesterday.
“Knock, knock!” The assistant pushed the door open and walked in.
“Mr. Ling, the head of the gaming division and the project director have already arrived!”
Upon hearing this, Ling Chen thought for a moment and then said, “Hmm, bring them in.”
Soon, the assistant led two men into the room.
“Mr. Ling!” As soon as they entered, the two men saw Ling Chen sitting there and greeted him immediately.
“Yes, please have a seat. Xiao Wang, go and get them two cups of tea.”
“Xiao Yang, how has the development been going on in the gaming division lately?” When Yang Xiong, the head of the gaming division, heard Ling Chen’s question, he stood up promptly.
“Mr. Ling, currently, we have released six games, and all of them are performing well. They are quite popular in the market.”
“Hmm, I call you here today to discuss something related to the games. The company has a new game all set up, and I’d like you to give it a thorough evaluation from your expert standpoint, focusing on how fun it is to play.
I’ve sent the installation package to your phones. This game can be played on both PC and mobile. Try it out first and give me your feedback.”
With two notifications, Ling Chen had already sent the installation package to both of them. Yang Xiong and the project director, He Mo, took out their phones and started to examine the game.
Time passed quickly, and nearly half an hour went by. During this time, the assistant brought them tea, which had already gone cold. They finally looked up at Ling Chen with astonishment on their faces.
“Mr. Ling, is this… game our own creation?” He Mo looked shocked as he stared at Ling Chen. Based on his experience, this game had an incredibly high level of playability, and it had a magical quality that made people unwilling to stop playing.
“Yes, that’s correct. This game is our own creation. I’ll send you the source code in a moment, but I hope you can get this game on the market as soon as possible.”
Since the last time the company’s system was breached by Zhou Chao, Ling Chen has installed a new firewall. He had the technical department create an internal office software that was independent of other systems and fully attached to the firewall. Therefore, security was not a concern. Ling Chen directly sent the source code through the internal office system to He Mo.
“The source code has already been sent to you. If there are any questions, please address them promptly. If there are no issues, then go ahead and release it early! Alright, I won’t keep you for dinner. Go back and research it as soon as possible!” Upon hearing Ling Chen’s words, the two of them quickly stood up.
“Mr. Ling, we’ll take our leave now.”
“Alright-” Watching the two of them leave, Ling Chen knew that this would be a blockbuster game, soon to sweep the entire network.
“Little one, you’re living the high life, always enjoying yourself!” Zhou Chao was currently showing off his skills in the kitchen, preparing a Buddha Jumps Over the Wall dish. The melody of the music playing on his phone beside him made him lose himself for a moment, swaying his body to the rhythm.
Even the Shoufu lying on the sofa seemed to be tilting his head towards the kitchen.
“After a whole morning of hard work, I can finally start my meal!”
Early in the morning, Zhou Chao bought the ingredients for Buddha Jumps Over the Wall online. After spending quite a while, he finally prepared the dish and was happily carrying the clay pot towards the outdoor dining table.
“Ding dong!” Just as he was about to start eating, the doorbell rang.
“Who is it? You picked a perfect timing!” Zhou Chao put down his chopsticks and grumbled as he walked towards the door.
“Hey there, buddy, are you busy?” He was greeted by Yu Qian, who came empty-handed while looking in all directions.
“Master Yu Qian, why did you come over? You picked the perfect time!”
“You told me yesterday that you were looking for a nanny, so I found one for you. She will be coming in the afternoon, and 1 thought I’d introduce her to you when she’s here!”
“Alright, come on in!” Zhou Chao had no choice but to let Yu Qian into the house.
“What’s wrong, buddy? You look a bit down!” Yu Qian looked at Zhou Chao’s sad expression and thought something might have happened!
Before Zhou Chao could speak, Yu Qian smelled a special fragrance coming from inside the house.
“What’s that smell? It smells so good!” Yu Qian quickly walked inside, and Zhou Chao, who saw the situation, also hurried a few steps!
“What’s going on, buddy? Why are you so upset?” Yu Qian, looking at Zhou Chao’s gloomy face, thought that something must have happened!
“Well, since you’re here, let’s eat together!” Yu Qian didn’t hesitate and walked straight to the kitchen and grabbed a large bowl.
“Aren’t you going a bit overboard with that huge bowl?” Zhou Chao looked at the large bowl in Yu Qian’s hand and instantly felt that Yu Qian didn’t even want any noodles to go with his Buddha Jumps Over the Wall!
“Ahem, ahem, there are no small bowls!” Yu Qian blushed after saying this, feeling a bit embarrassed.
Zhou Chao looked at the several small bowls lying quietly in the transparent cabinet in the kitchen and fell silent.
“Buddy, let’s start eating. It won’t taste good if it gets cold!”
“Wait for me, I’ll go get a big bowl too!” Zhou Chao said as he rushed to the kitchen. By the time he came out, Yu Qian had already started eating!
“Save some for me!” Zhou Chao also grabbed a pair of chopsticks and joined in the competition.
After half an hour, both of them leaned back in their chairs, patting their round bellies, occasionally letting out a belch.
“Master Yu Qian, I didn’t expect you to eat so much! You didn’t even leave me a bit of soup!”
“Ahem ahem, your Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is just too delicious! I couldn’t resist, it won’t happen again!”
“Keep dreaming! This is my first attempt at making this dish, and you become the lucky taste-tester!”
“That just shows I’m really lucky!”
The two of them chatted casually for a while, feeling slightly less full. They then got up and headed to the outdoor pavilion.
“Master Yu Qian, have some tea to aid digestion!”
“Your yard is really a sight to behold. Every time I come here, I feel a new sensation!”
“It’s not bad, I guess. You get used to it!”
It wasn’t until three o’clock in the afternoon that the nanny Yu Qian mentioned finally arrived. She appeared to be in her forties, quite capable-looking. Zhou Chao took a look at her health certificate and decided to give her a trial period.
“Ms. Kuang, when can you start working?”
“Mr. Zhou, I can start anytime!”
“Okay, come to work tomorrow. Get familiar with things first, and 1’11 explain the specific situation to you later!”
“Thank you, Mr. Zhou!”
After she left, Yu Qian also excused himself. He received a call from Deshe, chatted briefly, and then left!
Upon Zhou Chao’s return to the house, he noticed that the tableware on the table hadn’t been cleaned, and it left him slightly annoyed.
In his heart, he silently said, “The next time he comes over for a meal, I’ll make sure he washes the dishes and tidies up the kitchen before he leaves!”
