Chapter 202 Opportunity
Perhaps because the knot in her heart had been untied, Qiao Sui Sui recovered quickly. With Qiao Jiming constantly taking care of her, she was able to go to class as usual the next day.
Qiao Jiming was worried, so he stood at the entrance holding her bag and said, "Why don't you take a leave?"
Qiao Suisui answered while putting on her shoes: "No, I have a lecture to attend today."
She tried to take her bag from his hand, but he dodged her. "I'll give it to you."
As soon as the door opened, they saw Guan Weizi standing in the corridor, and both sides were stunned.
Guan Weizi's eyelids twitched when he looked at the tall, thin, fair-skinned boy behind Qiao Susu.
When Qiao Jiming saw the man opposite him in a designer suit, a gleam flashed in his eyes.
"Teacher Guan, why are you here?"
Guan Weizi's gaze slid from Qiao Jiming to Qiao Suisui.
Okay, I sent her a message yesterday but she didn’t reply. She said she was coming to stay in a hotel, but it turned out she was coming with her boyfriend. Guan Weizhi gritted his teeth when he thought about what might happen.
I had been taking care of my child for almost two years, but before I knew it, someone else got there first.
Guan Weizhi's expression was gone, and his voice was colder than ever. He glanced at his watch and said coldly, "The lecture starts at 8 o'clock. Are you going?"
"Let's go." Qiao Suisui took her bag from Qiao Jiming and waved at him, saying, "Go home quickly and don't tell Mom I'm here."
"mom?"
Guan Weizi glanced at Qiao Jiming.
Qiao Suisui said, "Oh, I forgot to introduce you, Teacher Guan, this is my younger brother."
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Guan Weizi's face brighten visibly.
The man felt as if the sky was cloudless and his entire body was light. He even had time to examine Qiao Jiming and commented, "You two siblings don't look much alike."
Qiao Jiming's face froze for a moment when he heard this, but he quickly adjusted himself.
"Teacher Guan, we're going to be late." Qiao Susu ignored the two people's thoughts and hurried to press the elevator button.
The hotel was on the commercial street opposite the school, a twenty-minute walk away. Guan Weizi saw her leaving the hotel and hurried to scan the bicycles, so he grabbed her by the back of the collar.
"Get in the car."
Only then did Qiao Susu realize that he was there to pick her up.
She skillfully sat in the passenger seat and fastened her seat belt. Seeing her sitting so obediently, Guan Weizi's lips curled up slightly.
While driving, he said casually, "You know you're only a freshman now, right?"
Qiao Suisui didn't understand what he meant, so she nodded and said, "I know."
"Study should be the priority right now. Besides, campus romances don't lead to anything. Let's at least consider this after graduation."
Although today's incident was a false alarm, he had to learn about this kind of thing in advance, otherwise if he couldn't keep an eye on it, the roses he had worked so hard to grow would be picked by others. He was not sure what he would do then.
Qiao Suisui looked at him strangely, "Teacher Guan, do you want to switch to being a counselor?"
Guan Weizi glanced at her and used one hand to rub her head.
The two finally arrived at the lecture venue on time. Guan Weizi saw that she was sweating with anxiety and told her several times not to be anxious, as if he was not the one who urged her at the door just now.
The school reserved a front-row seat for Guan Weizhi, where he sat with the teachers. Guan Weizhi wanted to take her there, but Qiao Suisui refused to go and found a seat on the side in the middle back row.
This lecture was actually for junior and senior year students, a disguised form of recruiting management trainees. The innocent yet foolish college students were unaware that the company's investor was sitting among the teachers.
"Our philosophy and mission at Zhenge is to use technology to make every product a success. We always believe that young people are the backbone of our team."
On the stage, the speaker was passionately speaking about the company's mission and values, and many students in the audience had anticipation and fighting spirit on their faces.
However, Qiao Susu is immune to this method. In the game, she herself built her own team by motivating others to speak. Therefore, among a group of seniors, she is more concerned about what actual benefits this company can bring to her.
Although she majored in drama, this circle is somewhat biased. Many students in the department started internships since their freshman year. Credits are secondary, the main purpose is to stay in the circle and become familiar to some famous directors and screenwriters, so that they can be guided into the industry by senior seniors after graduation.
Qiao Susu had the same idea at first, but her experience in the gaming world made her change her plans for the future.
She cannot change the rules of the industry, and her self-assessment does not align with her original intention, so she is now trying to find another way out.
The traditional career paths for drama graduates are either to be an assistant director and join a crew, or to do odd jobs in a theater, waiting for an opportunity to be noticed and become an assistant director or director, or to work in a film and television company to do some production work. However, Qiao Susu wants to find another way and work in the hottest gaming industry.
While her peers were still playing games in the dormitory, skipping classes and dating, Qiao Susu had already started preparing for her career path after graduation.
The company that is giving the lecture today is the production company of the recently popular mobile game "The Record of Blood and Plum". This game has become popular on the Internet. It relies on high-tech immersive VR technology, allowing players to wear VR glasses produced by their company to project the game screen in front of their eyes.
". That's roughly what you've learned so far, which is the entire production process of 'The Bloody Record'. Okay, does anyone have any questions about this part?"
A student stood up suddenly and shouted, "When can I return the VR glasses I bought? Didn't the official say it's 14 days without any questions?"
The entire venue erupted in laughter. The school leader in the front row turned sternly and glared at the students in the back row.
The host stepped in to smooth things over. "Today's presentation is a lecture-style sharing session. Do you have any questions related to the content of today's presentation?"
A student stood up and asked, "I'd like to know how I can become a member of the "Record of Blood and Virility" project team."
The spokesperson picked up the microphone and, instead of answering his question directly, asked, "Have you ever played Blood of the Dragon?"
The student touched his nose and said, "No, I'm not very interested in games."
"Then why do you want to join this project team?"
"Well, I..." the student hesitated, and someone beside him laughed and said, "Because it's a big company, it's respectable!"
The whole audience burst into laughter again.
The spokesperson also laughed. He said, "I understand that young people have high aspirations. Before entering the workforce, they always yearn for big companies, luxury offices, a flexible work environment, and a top-notch professional team. They often feel superior when they say this, thinking, 'Look, I'm doing pretty well, aren't I?' But I hope everyone, before choosing a career, first consider one question: what interests them."
The students in the field all showed thoughtful expressions.
"Work isn't what you imagine, where you sit in front of your Macbook with a Starbucks in hand, typing away and claiming to be an elite. The truth is, you'll likely be doing the same work day after day, starting over countless times, constantly coming up with challenging solutions, and ultimately, the results will speak for themselves."
"So you asked me how to join this project team. I would like to ask everyone here first, how many of you have played games?"
As soon as these words were spoken, almost everyone in the audience raised their hands.
“How many people can retell the main plot of the game and name the characteristics of three or more characters?”
Many people scratched their heads and put down their hands, but half of the people in the field still had their hands raised.
"How many people right now can instantly recall what the main characters in the game have said?"
Only a dozen or so people were still raising their hands.
“How many people can tell what a truly good game should be like?”
This question was very broad, and many people put down their hands out of some lack of confidence.
Only one person raised his hand. The speaker pointed to the side of the back row and said, "Student, please speak."
Everyone focused their attention on that inconspicuous corner.
Guan Weizi also turned around and saw Qiao Susu getting up from the chair.
