Chapter 203 Growth

Qiao Suisui took the microphone passed to her by the host and said, "A truly good game is a dream that makes people unwilling to wake up."

Her voice was clear and firm, as if carrying some kind of magic, attracting everyone's attention. The whole audience fell silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on her.

"Games are more than just simple programs and graphics; they are a form of art and a form of cultural expression. They allow us to experience emotions and adventures in the virtual world that we cannot experience in reality."

The whole audience was silent. Although her answer was brief, it instantly aroused everyone's interest.

The spokesperson's eyes lit up, and he was obviously interested in her answer, so he said, "Please continue."

Qiao Suisui took a deep breath and continued, "A good game, besides beautiful graphics and complex gameplay, is more importantly about creating an immersive world for players, allowing them to find resonance and emotional sustenance. It can be a safe haven for people to escape reality, or a stage for people to challenge themselves."

She paused, lowered her eyes, and thought about everything she had experienced in that world. She remembered their voices, their body temperature, what they said, and the touch they brought to her.

After a moment of distraction, Qiao Suisui looked around the venue and saw pairs of eyes looking at her. She continued, "In "The Legend of Blood and Jade", I see more than just a game, it's a way of life. Through carefully designed characters and plots, it makes players not just participants, but also part of this world. Every choice, every battle, shapes the player's own story."

The spokesperson couldn't help but nodded in agreement.

"Who is she? She speaks so well!"

"When did we have such a beautiful girl in this class?"

"Fuck! What she just said completely nailed my feelings when I was playing 'Record of Blood and Jade'! Why can't I put it into words?"

At this time, the classmates were also whispering, obviously shocked and impressed by her knowledge and ability to express herself. The teachers were also attracted by Qiao Suisui's answer and asked about her identity.

"Is this your student?"

"How is that possible? She seems to be a freshman?"

"I've seen him before. He's Teacher Guan's student."

Several teachers cast their eyes towards Guan Weizi, only to see the man sitting leisurely in the first row, looking straight ahead, as if he didn't care about the situation of his students, except for a rare smile on his lips.

"So I believe that a truly good game should be able to inspire players' emotions and allow them to find themselves within the game. It should have depth and breadth, not just entertainment, but also an experience and exploration. Allowing players to find meaning in the game is the true value of a good game."

The whole audience erupted in warm applause, with many students showing expressions of admiration. Guan Weizhi's expression also seemed to have melted ice and snow, a stark contrast to his usual cold demeanor.

The spokesperson smiled and said, "This student's answer is very interesting. It shows that she has a deep understanding and love for games. Such enthusiasm and insight are exactly what our team needs."

Qiao Susu bowed slightly and sat back in her seat.

After the lecture, the speaker didn't even bother to say a few words to the school leaders. He walked straight off the stage to shake hands with Guan Weizhi. "Mr. Guan, I wonder if you'll have time later since you're here today? How about going to Dingfuzhuang to try some new dishes? It just so happens that Mr. Qiao has been wanting to schedule a time with you to discuss our Q3 financial report."

The spokesperson was speaking when he saw Guan Weizi raise his hand to signal him to stop. He immediately stopped talking, smiled appropriately, and looked like he was listening.

Guan Weizhi searched the crowd of heads and soon found Qiao Suisui, who was waiting in line to leave the venue. He curled his lips and chuckled, then said to the spokesperson, "Dreke, is your project team short of a management trainee?"

Dreke thought quickly for a few seconds, then followed Guan Weizi's gaze and instantly understood.

"Yes, Mr. Kozeki. It would be great if the female student who just spoke could join us."

Guan Weizhi pretended to be distressed and said, "But the kid is only a freshman. Aren't you here to recruit seniors this time?"

Dreke's mouth kept pace with his brain. To be the Director of Human Resources meant he was a master of the art. He flashed a characteristic smile and spoke with impeccable precision, "Excellent talent is always in high demand. We can make an exception and offer you an offer. The company can easily negotiate that, but I'm not sure if the school can."

Dreke looked at the school leader with a hint of help in his eyes.

The school leader was also a seasoned veteran, his mind working very quickly. He smiled generously and stated, "Our school policy is to allow every student to realize their potential. If there's a good opportunity, we won't stand in their way."

With just two or three sentences, the men skipped the tedious process of layers of approval and evaluation and finalized the deal on the spot.

Guan Weizhi nodded, a rare smile on his face, and shook hands with the school administrators and Dreke. "Then I'd like to thank you on behalf of my students."

As soon as these words were uttered, he clearly told others that Qiao Susu was someone he valued, and he valued her so much that he was willing to personally pave the way for her.

Dreke kept saying 'I understand'.

That evening, Qiao Suisui was working her last part-time job at 7-Eleven when Lin Xixi came to visit. She was removing expired rice balls from the refrigerator when Lin Xixi snatched one, opened it, and took a bite. As she chewed, she said, "It's only been expired for a second, don't waste it! I'll help you fix it!"

Qiao Susu smiled and asked her to eat slowly. At this time, an unfamiliar number called.

After a brief self-introduction, the other party explained the purpose of the call, which was to invite her to become a member of the new game project team.

Qiao Suisui was a little surprised, then she carefully confirmed: "But I'm only a freshman this year."

"Don't worry about this. I've already negotiated with the company. I've discussed your situation with your instructor, and the company says you can use your free time to learn and practice, and participate in the development and creation of our new game. Here's my contact information. Feel free to contact me anytime, and we can discuss it in detail."

Qiao Susu expressed her gratitude, asked for the company address, and added Dreke on WeChat. She still felt it was incredible that this opportunity had come to her.

She said to Lin Xixi blankly: "I think I can go to Zhenge for internship."

Lin Xixi's eyes widened. As soon as she arrived, she gossiped about everything that had happened to Qiao Susu today. Now that she heard that it had really happened, she was even more excited than Qiao Susu.

Lin Xixi hugged Qiao Susu and shouted "That's great". You know, Zhenge is one of the top 10 companies in China. If you can go there for an internship, whether you can stay or not is another matter. Just writing it down as an experience on your resume will make you beat 80% of the fresh graduates!

Across the street, a black Maybach was parked in an inconspicuous place. The man in the car looked through the window of the 711 at the two girls laughing and making a mess, and couldn't help but curl up the corners of his lips.

Old Tang looked through the rearview mirror and saw a gentleness and relief flashing in Guan Weizi's eyes that he himself didn't even notice. His usually sharp facial features were now so soft. He also smiled with a worthless look on his face.

Guan Weizhi believed that with or without his help, Qiao Suisui's future would be extremely bright, and he suddenly felt that the process of accompanying her growth over the past year was so short. He wanted to keep watching her smile, watching her change from school uniform to professional attire, and watching her hair grow long and short, and short and long again.
