Moreover, the games he mentioned were all very popular online.

He Ming probably really loved those games. He could rattle off their statistics effortlessly.

Jin Nian was also surprised. Then, wouldnt the games in our country be squeezed out by this company?

After all, according to He Ming, the games produced by this company were global, which meant that the entire world was playing them. It would be difficult for domestic games to compare.

Thats true, but Ive heard that their focus on entering the Chinese market isnt primarily for making games. Theyre more interested in animation. It seems their founder has returned to China this time. The founder appears to be quite young, maybe even under thirty years old, and reportedly from Hong Kong.

A Hong Kong citizen under thirty, returning from abroad.

Jin Nians mind involuntarily connected this information to Lu An.

She chuckled and shook her head. Why was this person trying to stir up her thoughts even when he wasnt physically present?

Shaking her head, she pushed those thoughts aside.

Affirming his knowledge, she commented, You certainly know a lot about this company.

He Ming scratched his head bashfully and murmured, Actually, I considered switching to their company before, which is why Ive been asking around. Ive heard their company offers great benefits and compensation. However, getting into that company is incredibly difficult. Plus, Im not very familiar with animation, so well, I had to give up.

It was probably unusual for He Ming to confide so much in someone. He seemed to be getting into it and began venting to Jin Nian.

Speaking of animation, I cant help but feel that Jiang Qingchi is utterly shameless. He blatantly plagiarized, yet he denies it. Moreover, hes still able to profit from it. Ultimately, its because our country has too few restrictions on plagiarists.

Jin Nian had grown tired of complaining about Jiang Qingchis matters. However, thinking about the upcoming meeting, she said, Ill leave this project to you guys. I wont be involved any further.

He Ming understood and nodded. Sure, 1 get it.

The companys staff was well aware of the relations.h.i.+p between Jiang Qingchi and Jin Nian.

Especially during the period when Jin Nian was preparing for her wedding, the entire company was aware. And later, due to the broken engagement and Jiang Qingchis plagiarism scandal, discussions about these events were quite common among the staff.

Afterward, Jin Nian sent a message to her superior, informing them that she no longer wished to be part of the project.

Despite her superior not responding promptly, Jin Nian wasnt concerned. In any case, she had already made up her mind not to get involved in the project anymore.

Unless Jiang Qingchi withdrew from this project. However, that was impossible.

With the project matters settled, Jin Nian remembered to send a message to Lu An.

She informed him that she had plans with her good friend tonight and asked him not to wait for her.

Lu An replied instantly.

Is this something a human would do?

Whats the matter? Cant I go out and have fun with my good friend?

After about a minute, Lu An replied, Until what time are you planning to play? Ill come pick you up.

Im not sure about the time. Ill manage on my own. You dont need to come.

Are you determined to not see me tonight? Lu An added a hint of a grievous expression at the end.

Its a good opportunity for you to meet your friends. Dont you have plenty of friends?

Lu An responded, Married men dont have friends in their hearts, only their wives.

Jin Nian didnt pay much attention to his words and simply sent a couple of emojis to dismiss him, no longer engaging in the conversation.

It wasnt until Lu An persistently sent several more emojis that Jin Nian asked, Are you very free?

Free? How could that be? Im at my busiest.

Busy with what?

Of course, Im busy with overtime work.

This response had a slightly sarcastic tone.

Not wanting to indulge him, Jin Nian replied, Well, good luck then.

Seeing her message, Lu An felt quite frustrated.

He had originally come to the company just to spend some time and pick up Jin Nian, but now?

Jin Nian, the ungrateful one, had left him behind to have fun with someone else.

What an ungrateful person.

Lu An raised his head and noticed that Jiang Qingchi hadnt left yet.

Seeing Lu An looking at him, Jiang Qingchi quickly spoke up, Could CEO Lus misunderstanding of me be related to the plagiarism incident from some time ago? It truly was just a misunderstanding. CEO Lu, I sincerely hope you can give our company a chance. As long as you are willing to grant us an opportunity, we can certainly explain the plagiarism incident clearly. You may not be aware, but this plagiarism incident has also had some impact on our company. Were suffering undeservedly. Previously, our reputation within the industry was quite good, so

Jiang Qingchi was making a genuine effort to secure the financing this time.

His earnestness stood in sharp contrast to Lu Ans playful att.i.tude.

Lu An suddenly stood up, his powerful presence making Jiang Qingchi feel immense pressure..
