At the start, I tricked the school beauty, and ended up with twins?

There are a few other companies just next to our office building, only separated by a few dozen meters. We all see each other every day, so it's better to maintain good relationships, right?

As the saying goes, "a distant relative may not be as helpful as a close neighbor". The same can be applied to companies.

Even if we can't become friends, we should at least not become enemies.

"Boss, when will you join in with us?"

A few juniors teased Gu Yu.

Gu Yu deliberately put on a stern face, "You guys are getting bold, huh? Daring to speak to your boss like that? Do you need more work to keep you busy?"

They all suddenly looked panicked. Gu Yu seemed pretty amiable, so why had he suddenly become so serious?

"Hahaha, just kidding! How are you guys finding it? Just started at the company and already fitting in okay?"

Seeing their frightened expressions, Gu Yu couldn't help but burst into laughter.

He asked them about how they were getting on.

In addition to hiring regular employees, Ideal Paradise also offered some internship opportunities to students from Haidong University itself.

Although they did not receive the same treatment as regular employees, they could still freely use all the facilities in the company, and their salary was paid at 80% of the full-time employees' rate.

This was something Gu Yu had promised Assistant Qin before moving into the incubator.

Even though it was just a verbal agreement, Gu Yu kept it in mind.

After all, they had spared no effort in helping him in the beginning, so he couldn't fail to keep his promises.

He couldn't be the kind of person who went back on his word.

Without the system, someone like him might have failed just as Ideal Paradise was getting started, right?

The business world is a dark forest, full of hidden wolves and leopards. Anyone who steps into it and shows the slightest sign of submission will be immediately devoured by the dangers lurking in the darkness.

Fortunately, Ideal Paradise has now steadied itself with the help of many.

Even if he no longer took any action, it would still develop smoothly.

"You scared me to death! Boss, you're so mean!"

"It's pretty good! Everyone at the company is nice, and the environment is cozy. If I wasn't just a freshman, I'd want to live at the company!"

"Exactly! Once our internship is over, we'll study hard. After graduation, we'll apply to Ideal Paradise! You can't refuse us then!"

The juniors whom Gu Yu had asked about their adaptation hurriedly spoke their hearts out.

"..."

Gu Yu helplessly facepalmed.

Great, another bunch wanting to sleep at the company—is this breeding a new swarm of King of Competitions?

No way, once these people graduate, he could not hire a single one!

Suying corporate culture is despicable! The mentality of "the company is my home" is unacceptable!

Gu Yu made up his mind with gritted teeth.

Meanwhile, hundreds of kilometers away from Ideal Paradise, at the headquarters of Mihayou...

Yu Shutong and others were bustling through Yuan Shen Studio at Mihayou.

"Your modeling is awesome!"

"Damn, you're using Unreal Engine so skillfully, bro, teach me!"

"No way, can you really use this line of code like that?"

"I've learned a lot, learned a lot. Big bro, tell us more!"

"..."

A bunch of people were fervently bombarding the IT whizzes of Yuan Shen Studio with all sorts of questions.

Even though they were pestered to the point of frustration, these tech gurus couldn't bring themselves to refuse when they saw the sincere eagerness in their eyes.

Jotting down a new threading technique in his notebook, Yu Shutong continued to question the expert who had just answered him.

The expert had worked overtime last night, showing up with two dark circles under his eyes, "...Seriously, do you guys never sleep?"

"I can't teach you anymore, otherwise, I feel like Ideal Paradise would be able to develop a second Yuan Shen!"

The expert quickly waved his hands in refusal, then leaned back despondently in his computer chair.

When the people from Ideal Paradise first came over, he thought it would be just like exchanges with other companies' tech teams—a casual look around.

What he called an exchange or learning was just sitting together for a chat over tea.

Who would have thought that these people from Ideal Paradise were seriously here to exchange and learn!

With the exception of eating and toileting, these folks barely left Yuan Shen Studio.

Before their regular staff even arrived for work, this group was already waiting at their desks; and when they finished work, these people would sleep in tents in the corridor outside the studio.

Their dedication was like they were conducting nuclear weapon research!

This was just too outrageous!

He was almost drained dry, so to keep teaching them would leave him completely spent.

"Bro, my dear bro! Can you explain that information transmission model to me again? I'll treat you to a full-service evening tonight!"

"Five-star hotel, spa baths, massages, singing, disco dancing—I'll arrange it all for you, allowing you to choose from eight chicks!"

Yu Shutong lured as he massaged the big boss.

"Sss—Did your company really give you that much budget for this trip?"

Just hearing about these things made Duan Feilong gasp in shock.

This whole set-up, wouldn't it cost at least eight to ten thousand to withstand?

To be honest, after so many tiring days, he did want to relax.

But he didn't quite believe that Yu Shutong's company would provide them with that much travel budget.

If they could afford five-star hotels, would these people really have to camp and sleep on the floor in the corridor?

In Duan Feilong's view, they were just a bunch of tech talents from a company that sounded as poor as can be.

It's a shame, really; these guys had decent technical skills, following a boss with little financial clout.

"Budget? Hmm… How much did Laosi give us before we left?"

Yu Shutong pulled over Bo Jia, who delivered tea and water and had already successfully infiltrated Mihayou's internals, to ask.

Bo Jia's expression froze for a moment, then he frowned and thought carefully, "I remember... it seems... was it one million?"

"Oh, right! The chairman said to spend freely, not to come back until we've blown the whole million."

Bo Jia nodded seriously, then continued to serve tea and water to Mihayou's big shots.

"Ah, right! Our budget this time is one million, so treating all you big bosses to a good time is no problem at all!"

Yu Shutong replied to Duan Feilong's question from earlier.

Duan Feilong's jaw dropped.

What kind of company is this?

Giving employees a budget of a million for a business trip?

And the key point is, he seemed to remember that Ideal Paradise is also in Modu City, right?

A mere three hundred-something kilometers, it doesn't even count as a long-distance business trip!

"Damn, your boss is that generous?"

Duan Feilong exclaimed.

He also had been on business trips several times before, which usually meant a measly thousand bucks or so.

That's because he was a technical ace, with company benefits allowing him to stay in three-star hotels.

Looking at this gap in treatment, which company, Mihayou or Ideal Paradise, is the small one?

"Generous... Uh, yeah, quite generous."

Yu Shutong didn't deny this at all.

Laosi always took care of his brothers; a hundred thousand or even five hundred thousand, Laosi probably wouldn't even blink.

"So, big bro, what do you think of what I just said? Eight chicks! I'll set you up only with stewardesses and models!"

Yu Shutong eagerly struck while the iron was hot.

Because he could see Duan Feilong's expression was tempted.

Indeed, bribery still worked, and after all, he wasn't asking Duan Feilong to leak Mihayou's secrets, just to teach him a little more technology.

Is there something wrong with that? There's definitely nothing wrong with that.

"I... This doesn't seem quite right, does it?"

At the thought of eight models, Duan Feilong's mouth went dry with excitement.

He was at the prime age of twenty-eight or twenty-nine, full of vigor, unmarried, and would sometimes support the homeless young ladies.

But he had never tried anything with eight models...

"Perfectly fine! Long, we're all men here! I get you!"

Yu Shutong threw an arm around Duan Feilong's shoulder, wearing a sly grin.

Seeing Duan Feilong's demeanor, he knew his bribe had succeeded.

As the saying goes, lust is the hardest to resist.

Once it's there, it's not so easy to get rid of.

He would definitely bleed Duan Feilong dry!

"Heh, alright, I'll teach you some more about technology… The writing of communication protocols can also be like this... and this... and this..."

Yu Shutong's eyes glinted, and he made sure to memorize every single word.

Seeing that the manager on this side had also successfully infiltrated enemy territory, the others started to follow suit.

Before long, the entire studio was abuzz with unprecedented enthusiasm for learning and teaching.

"Laosi, we will return in triumph!"
