Pei Wu's mind raced, and after her furrowed brows relaxed slightly, she replied with an "Mm" and hung up the phone.
The research room was completely silent, with only the buzzing of the machines around. Pei Wu hadn't changed her clothes; she was still wearing the work clothes she had worn when she came out of the game pod. Her white lab coat was neatly ironed, and a few pens were clipped to her breast pocket.
The real-life Pei Wu and the 'Pei Wu' in the game use the same face, but the work clothes she is wearing are the ones Pei Wu wears most often. Now, sitting in front of the computer looking at a screen full of data is her most frequent state.
Pei Wu placed her phone on the table after hanging up, and then leaned back in her chair as if she had breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, she was very tired. Although the passage of time in the game was different from that in reality, to outsiders it seemed that she had only been lying in the game pod for a short time, but her consciousness had experienced several years in the game world. Those personally experienced moments and events filled her mind.
After taking off her glasses and placing them on the table, she covered her face with her hands. After a while, she seemed to remember something and reached for her phone on the table. Wei Guangmo immediately sent Pei Wu the link to the live stream that Meng Qinsu's agent had just mentioned.
Once the link was opened, the quiet research room immediately erupted in noise. The live stream had ended, and all that was left to watch was the replay.
An Yang did indeed claim that special guests would participate in the game experience, and he promoted it extensively. Because it was associated with a current top star, the speculation on the internet was very heated. Among the names that were popular online were Li Yi, the male lead of the current summer hit drama, Xu Yusi, who has been a top star for many years and has recently transitioned to the big screen, and Meng Qinsu, who started out as a singer and dancer and starred in four consecutive hit dramas.
They even claimed they would select a spokesperson for 'Anyang' from among these people.
As for who it was, the live broadcast preview kept everyone in suspense, even teasing the fans of these nominated celebrities. Naturally, the buzz surrounding today's "announcement" skyrocketed. Fortunately, "An Yang" was quite shrewd; he had already recorded video messages for several celebrities who were highly popular in the online polls beforehand, so it wasn't really deceiving the fans.
It has to be said that Jin Wei of 'Anyang' is not only a marketing genius, but also incredibly wealthy and willing to spend money.
As an invited celebrity guest, all the attention was focused on him. Meng Qinsu, who had just finished playing a game, had a smile on his face, but his eyes still showed signs of fatigue. However, his makeup was exquisite and shone brightly under the lights.
His appearance was indeed that of Shen Yu Nan in Pei Wu's mind. She didn't know if it was because he was wearing makeup, but even at such a close-up angle, Pei Wu couldn't see the small...red...mole on the tip of Shen Yu Nan's nose.
Meng Qinsu's smile was incredibly handsome; his teeth, when he smiled, were perfectly aligned and white... and also quite formal... However, Pei Wu had never seen such a carefree smile on Shen Yuhuan's face before. Neither Shao Sang nor Shen Yuhuan had ever smiled like that; their smiles were always restrained and subtle...
Pei Wu frowned slightly again, almost unconsciously.
But her hand still couldn't help wanting to touch his image on the phone screen...
"Our CEO, Mr. Jin, also participated in this game experience. Is there anything he would like to share with everyone?"
Just as Pei Wu's hand landed on the screen, the camera switched to Jin Wei, who played 'An Yang', and at that moment, a pop-up window appeared on the phone screen asking her to download an app.
It turned out that Pei Wu hadn't downloaded the platform for this live stream, and the system prompted her to download the app when her time limit expired.
Indeed, Pei Wu is a very boring person. Her life consists only of research and data. She spends most of her time in the laboratory she is currently in, and her home is the only other place she goes.
Her phone is mostly filled with the apps that came pre-installed on it.
Before clicking the link the system redirected, Pei Wu glanced at Jin Wei, whose image was frozen in time. The purple diamond on his earlobe sparkled under the light, and her lowered eyelids trembled slightly.
The timeline of her feud with this 'An Yang' Jin Wei is simply too long.
The next day, Meng Qinsu's agent brought Meng Qinsu to 'Beishang' as promised.
Wei Guangmo was in charge of negotiating with them. He disliked An Yang, who was always targeting Bei Shang, and he also disliked Meng Qinsu, who had defected. However, considering An Yang's relationship with Pei Wu in the game, he reluctantly met with Meng Qinsu and his agent.
"It was wrong of us not to give prior notice, but to be honest, what we signed with 'Beishang' was only the right to use their image, not a buyout. Besides, the contract didn't say that we couldn't cooperate with other companies, right? The boss of 'Anyang' is surnamed Jin, and the Jin family's influence won't allow us to say 'no.' We still want to continue in the entertainment industry."
This is indeed true. However, Beishang, which has always been the dominant player, never imagined that another company would be able to master the technology of "celebrity face recognition." The contract did not explicitly require it. Wei Guangmo can accept fair competition in the industry. However, the fact that the competitor that poached his talent is Anyang is the real reason why Wei Guangmo is so angry.
"..." Wei Guangmo looked at Meng Qinsu's familiar face sitting opposite him and raised an eyebrow, "Aren't you afraid that Pei Wu will be angry with you? Jin Wei and Pei Wu are mortal enemies, the kind who would fight to the death?"
Upon hearing Pei Wu's name, Meng Qinsu finally took off the sunglasses that had been stuck to her face.
Wei Guangmo had met Shen Yu Nan before, but Meng Qin Su, who looked similar to him, sitting in front of him now, had a different temperament. Meng Qin Su had a charming temperament and her eyes were full of emotion, but neither Shao Sang nor Shen Yu Nan that Wei Guangmo had met had this kind of expression. Shen Yu Nan's expression was mostly... expressionless. His eyebrows and eyes always seemed to be covered with a layer of frost. Only when he was talking to Pei Wu would there be a faint smile on his lips.
“You look strange.” Wei Guangmo raised his eyebrows even higher.
Since Shen Yunan in the game had personally admitted that he was 'Meng Qinsu', Wei Guangmo didn't think much of it.
"..." Meng Qinsu chuckled and said, "President Wei, you're right, so I've decided not to cooperate with 'Anyang'."
As soon as Meng Qinsu spoke, his manager beside him gave him a strange look.
Just then, Pei Wu knocked lightly on the door and walked into the conference room.
"You've arrived."
"Um."
Hearing Pei Wu's voice, Meng Qinsu, who had his back to her, turned his head slightly and glanced at Pei Wu out of the corner of his eye.
Pei Wu barely slept all night. Originally, she only suspected that 'An Yang' had interfered in her game, but now that the cooperation between 'An Yang' and Meng Qinsu has been revealed, some things are already quite clear.
