Chen Lu texted Liang Zhirou to say he was going over for dinner, and then prepared to drive there.

As soon as the car drove out of the community gate, I saw a few raindrops hitting the car window, which quickly became more and more frequent.

What kind of weather is this year? Where did all this rain come from?

Just as Chen Lu made a complaint, his phone rang in his pocket.

He recently changed his phone ringtone from Canon to Scarborough Fair because people around him always said that hearing that ringtone made them feel unsafe.

He glanced at it and saw that it was Peng Leyun calling, so he simply clicked to answer.

"What's wrong?" Chen Lu asked.

"Brother Lu, someone here just resigned. He was a senior in college." Peng Leyun emphasized the last sentence.

Chen Lu gave a slow and unhurried "hmm".

Peng Leyun continued, "He's from the same province as me, so I jokingly asked him if he was going home to inherit the family business. He said he was still looking for a job in Hangzhou and that we had almost finalized the details."

Chen Lu smirked. "Where are you now?"

"At the company."

"Then wait for me to come over."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Lu sent Liang Zhirou another message.

Chen Lu: I'm going back to the company for a bit, I'll be there later. You and Auntie should eat first. (Kissing emoji)

Liang Zhirou: It's okay, I'll wait for you.

It seems Liang Zhirou still hasn't learned how to use emojis.

Chen Lu smiled and sighed, driving through the rain.

......

More than half an hour later, Chen Lu slowly pushed open the glass door of the company.

It was well past working hours, and Peng Leyun was the only one sitting in the entire company, busy with something in front of two computer screens.

Only a few scattered lights could be seen outside the huge floor-to-ceiling windows. Inside the company, only one row of lights was on, and the light could not cover all areas, making it seem somewhat desolate.

"Why are you still at the company? I didn't ask you to work overtime." Chen Lu stomped his foot, casually wiped the water off his hair with a tissue, and then, feeling it wasn't dry enough, pulled a face towel from Lin Miaomiao's workstation.

It absorbs a lot of water as soon as you stick it to your hair.

This thing is still the best.

"There's something I haven't finished yet."

Peng Leyun replied earnestly without turning his head, displaying an unusual stubbornness in this regard. When the programming team wasn't too busy, he would frequently take paid bathroom breaks; when things were busy, he was always the last one to leave the company.

If you get caught up in something, you'll just keep busy.

"It must be him, right?" Chen Lu suddenly asked in a cold voice.

Peng Leyun nodded vigorously. "When that character's rejected proposal was first released, there were only a few people in the programming team. You just received your bonus yesterday, and he left today. What a coincidence."

After saying that, he smiled at Chen Lu again, "Brother Lu, you announced the big bonuses back on Qixi Festival, and then transferred the money to each person individually. Wasn't that all to make him feel 'at ease' and resign?"

The more he thinks about it, the more he feels that Chen Lu's words on Qixi Festival, "As long as you don't quit or mess things up during this period, you'll get a ton of bonuses," had a deeper meaning.

After asking Peng Leyun for her preferred candidate, Chen Lu gave bonuses to the art team and the person named Li Yang in advance last night.

When you finally finish eating the bait on the hook just when you're about to give up, the fish will definitely run away, and you'll be glad you got a free meal.

"From now on, you'll lead the programming team while also helping me handle tasks independently."

As Chen Lu spoke, he walked behind Peng Leyun and said lazily, "The 30,000 yuan will be in your account in the next few days, and all of that person's bonuses will be yours."

Peng Leyun was taken aback. "Why are there so many?"

Actually, he was incredibly excited when he received the two thousand, and he spent several 648-yuan purchases overnight.

“Previously, each person only received 2,000 yuan because the mole hadn’t left yet. Now that the mole is gone, we’ll definitely give you the bonuses that were already set. Your 20,000 yuan plus his 10,000 yuan will make a total of 30,000 yuan.”

Chen Lu flipped through the contract Li Yang signed when he joined the company, his tone flat and monotone, “People can never earn money beyond what they know. Li Yang is the most obvious example; he didn’t have a long-term vision. He’s shortchanged more than ten thousand yuan.”

He then joked, "You can't even tell that my company will be a Fortune 500 company in the future? You have no foresight at all."

Peng Leyun raised the corners of her mouth slightly, feeling that Chen Lu was hinting at something, and asked with a grin, "Brother Lu, are you serious about letting me follow you?"

"Of course."

There's no need to make any grand pronouncements. The ceremony for promoting someone is that simple. Chen Lu's special trip is already a sign of his high regard for the person.

"I'm leaving now, the landlady is waiting for me to come home for dinner."

Chen Lu walked to the door and then looked back at him. "Aren't you going back?"

"I sleep here at night because the new character keeps having bugs."

Peng Leyun pointed to the thin blanket on her seat.

Chen Lu's jaw nearly dropped to the floor. "You actually have dreams?"

"have."

Peng Leyun spoke earnestly, knowing that if he didn't seize the opportunity to work for this company, he would hardly have such a high level of influence elsewhere.

Moreover, he truly admired Chen Lu's thinking and vision.

Who wouldn't like to follow a wise person? Especially when that person is leading you to achieve that extremely naive dream.

"Why work overtime? Isn't it better to go home and play games?"

Chen Lu left with a sigh and then hurriedly ran out.

......

When the car reached the entrance of the alley, Chen Lu parked it on the opposite side of the road, a little further away, because there was nowhere else to park.

Just as Chen Lu was about to park the car, he saw a figure standing alone at the entrance of the alley, motionless.
