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

Gu Yu slowly pulled the car over to the side of the road and saw his second brother waving at him. Poking his head out of the car window, he smiled and said, "Second brother, heading to the company? Come on, hop in!"

Yu Shutong jogged over to the back passenger door, about to pull it open when he seemed to remember something. He quickly turned back and hugged Zhuang Yan.

"You have to be careful when you're traveling and make sure to contact me if anything happens."

He was still somewhat worried.

After all, Zhuang Yan had replaced her teacher and attended several meetings before.

But she was still a girl.

"Okay."

Zhuang Yan smiled softly, and then lightly kissed Yu Shutong's cheek.

Sitting in the car, Gu Yu glanced at Zhuang Yan, the top student, and then at Lin Xinyue, who was still sulking in the front passenger seat.

"Yueyue, stop being angry, okay? I know I was wrong..."

No matter what, he decided to apologize first and make Lin Xinyue happy again.

Previously, when second brother and Zhuang Yan had argued, Xinyue had explained how to handle such a situation.

Boys needed to show a clear attitude first.

He had firmly kept it in mind.

Now look at how good things were between second brother and Zhuang Yan, it proved Xinyue's advice was indeed useful!

"Oh? Then tell me where you went wrong," Lin Xinyue said, turning her face and giving Gu Yu a sidelong glance.

She hadn't expected Gu Yu to admit his mistake proactively.

Gu Yu: "..."

He had no idea what he'd done wrong! If he had known, he would have cheered her up earlier!

Why wasn't this going according to the script?

"I... maybe when we were eating earlier, I didn't serve you some dishes?"

Gu Yu guessed tentatively.

Lin Xinyue: "..."

Her face bore an expression of deep grievance before she turned her head away again.

Gu Yu was flustered.

He had already shown his disposition, hadn't he?

"Alright! Laosi, let's go!" Yu Shutong, who had already said goodbye to Zhuang Yan, said as he plopped into the backseat, then patted Gu Yu's shoulder.

That's when he saw that there seemed to be a little friction between Gu Yu and Lin Xinyue.

"What's the matter with you two...?" Yu Shutong asked, confused.

"Ah haha, it's nothing, let's go! We're off to the company!" Gu Yu hastily laughed it off, then drove toward the company.

Upon arriving at the company, instead of visiting Gu Yu's office as she usually did, Lin Xinyue went straight to her own management office.

Yu Shutong widened his eyes in surprise as he watched Lin Xinyue immediately turn into her office as soon as she entered the company building, then looked back at Gu Yu with his face full of embarrassment.

"Did you two... have a falling out?" Yu Shutong asked.

It would be clear to anyone that there was a conflict between them.

Gu Yu nodded helplessly: "Yeah! She's been like this since we came back from lunch. I don't know what I did wrong."

Seeing Gu Yu's helpless look, Yu Shutong suddenly turned into a relationship expert.

"Do you remember what your sister-in-law taught me that other night?"

"When you have a conflict with your girlfriend, you have to show her a friendly attitude first..."

Gu Yu quickly waved his hand: "It's no use, I've tried, I've apologized, and Xinyue still isn't talking to me."

Yu Shutong was even more puzzled: "That shouldn't be! Where did you go wrong?"

Gu Yu: "..."

It was that question again!

If he knew what he had done wrong, Lin Xinyue wouldn't still be holding a grudge!

He was at a loss for words.

He didn't bother discussing this topic with second brother anymore and turned to head to his own office.

He felt a bit annoyed inside.

Such behavior that leaves people guessing is really irritating!

Yu Shutong looked on in confusion as Gu Yu ignored him and went into the office.

Hadn't he just been strategizing for Laosi?

"Sigh, what's going on now!"

Yu Shutong sighed and then shook his head, heading to his own development department.

Upon arriving at the development department, a group of people stood up.

"President Yu!"

"Good morning, President Yu!"

"President Yu, you're really early today!"

The employees each greeted him proactively and quickly went back to typing code on their keyboards.

Seeing his colleagues, who arrived even earlier than him, Yu Shutong suddenly felt a surge of energy course through his exhausted body.

Now that he was in the development department, it was time for everyone to buckle down and work hard together.

"Let's keep it up, everyone! Let's aim to launch the game by the end of the month!"

Yu Shutong cheered everyone on.

Each person raised their hand, giving a thumbs-up: "Okay!"

This was their department's signature gesture, used to bolster confidence.

"President Yu, this is the integration plan our design team came up with these past few days for your review!"

Just as Yu Shutong sat down at his desk, an employee walked over and placed a USB drive on his table.

Yu Shutong looked up, recognizing the man he had hired half a month ago, a mid-career recruit.

A young man two years his senior, named Zhou Fengfeng.

During his self-introduction, he had mentioned that he previously worked on game planning for Frontline Command, but left because of the toxic atmosphere.

He had come to Ideal Paradise in hope of being involved in the overall planning of a game.

After showing some impressive ideas, Yu didn't hesitate to accept his application.

Such talent was not to be wasted.

Although the game Frontline Command had been around for many years and its planning was set in stone, anyone who could work in that game department wasn't incompetent.

Yu boldly brought him onboard.

The first thing he asked him to do after joining was to create a game plan for the current project.

In fact, before today, Zhou had already submitted several plans to Yu, all of which were rejected.

It wasn't that these plans were bad, but they were just too standard.

They simply copied some of the old formulas from Frontline Command.

Old formulas don't necessarily mean failure; on the contrary, they're proof of market validation and have their audience.

But that wasn't what he was looking for.

The game his department was developing was a high-end, zombie-themed masterpiece, and if they added the same shooter game mechanics from Frontline Command, although many people would like it, it would be cliché.

The market was already saturated with zombie shooter games.

Another game with the same theme would hardly surpass its predecessors; only through innovation could they hope to attract a stronger following.

If they kept choosing clichés, they might as well hire an outsourcing company for template development.

Then all the overtime and research on game modes and gameplay would be meaningless.

"What do you think of this plan you've come up with? How would you rate it yourself?"

Yu Shutong played with the USB drive in his fingers, not immediately plugging it in to see the contents.

Instead, he asked Zhou for his personal opinion first.

Zhou pushed up his thick-bottomed glasses and said, "This plan is completely different from the previous ones, I'd give it a 9.5 out of 10."

"Oh? That confident?"

Yu Shutong suddenly became interested.

Zhou had never been this confident before.

Without hesitation, Yu plugged the USB drive into the computer.
