"Asuna?"
Looking at the girl in front of him, Fang Zheng was also stunned. What a coincidence today was. I met Yuna in the morning, and now I meet Asuna. Is this world so small?
"Hello, Mr. Fang Zheng."
Asuna also happily bowed to Fang Zheng.
"Long time no see."
"It's been just over half a month... Are you feeling better now?"
"Yes, the doctor checked me and I'm in recovery now. I'm fine now."
Listening to the questions and answers between Fang Zheng and his daughter, Yuki Shozo was also stunned for a while. After all, he was the CEO, so he could naturally see that his daughter seemed to be very close and familiar with Fang Zheng, which made Yuki Shozo very confused.
"You... know each other?"
"Yes, Dad, Mr. Fang Zheng is the president of our Dark Moon Sword Guild in the game."
At this moment, Asuna also gave an answer immediately. She had been feeling very uncomfortable staying at home during this period of time. Although Asuna had always wanted to talk to her relatives about what happened in the game, Asuna's mother had no interest in the topic and was even quite disgusted with it. Her father, because of his investment failure, did not want to hear anything about the death game anymore. Asuna's brother was rarely at home. In this situation, Asuna could only keep her words to herself.
And now, she finally found an opportunity to talk about games in front of her parents openly.
"This is really... beyond my expectations."
Hearing this, Yuki Shozo couldn't help but look at Fang Zheng in surprise. Although he had little contact with this young man, Yuki Shozo could see that Fang Zheng was a very capable young talent. In addition, he was financially well-off, handsome, and spoke and acted very appropriately. Therefore, Yuki Shozo wanted to introduce him to his daughter.
After all, as a member of the Yuki family, he also hopes that Asuna can find a good home that is suitable for her.
What Yuki Shozo didn't expect was that these two people had actually known each other for a long time?
And in that nasty death game?
Although it was a bit unexpected, Yuki Shozo was happy to see it happen. After all, he knew that his daughter had no interest in blind dates. But now, since there was such a good opportunity, she certainly couldn't miss it.
Soon, both parties sat down, and after Fang Zheng greeted Asuna, he began to discuss the next reorganization plan of RECT with Yuki Shozo.
"My plan is to reform all RECT sales offices in the shortest possible time, from the inside out, including the decoration style. Also, those marginal businesses must be abandoned. I have invited Professor Shigemura Tetsuhiro to join CC Club..."
Asuna couldn't help but smile as she watched Fang Zheng talking so eloquently in front of her father. She was worried that something might go wrong in the conversation between Fang Zheng and his father, but now it seemed that Fang Zheng was just Fang Zheng, and even her father was no match for him.
Mr. Fang Zheng is so awesome!
If Yuki Shozo knew what his daughter was thinking right now, he would definitely shout "Girls should not be kept at home when they grow up"...
After a brief exchange of views, Yuki Shozo made an excuse to leave, leaving Asuna alone there. Asuna leaned back in her chair and breathed a sigh of relief as she watched her father leave.
"You seem to be under a lot of pressure?"
Fang Zheng looked at Asuna with a smile, and the latter nodded shyly.
"Yes, Mr. Fang Zheng, you know... my father..."
At this point, Asuna was obviously a little hesitant, but she still sighed and skipped the topic. And since Asuna didn't mention it, Fang Zheng naturally wouldn't ask about it. After all, every family has its own problems, so he quickly changed the topic.
"By the way, should I call you Asuna or Asuna? I didn't expect you to use your real name as your ID."
"Oh...it's all right...and if I put it that way, aren't you the same, Mr. Fang Zheng?"
"That's true... Yuna is the same now."
"Yuna?"
"yes."
Facing Asuna's curious question, Fang Zheng nodded.
"Before I came here, I went to visit Professor Shigemura of Toudou University of Technology. I didn't expect to see Yuna there. She is Professor Shigemura's daughter. Her real name is Shigemura Yuna... It seems that you all have this habit."
"Really? You met Yuna? Mr. Founder?"
After hearing Fang Zheng's news, Asuna immediately perked up.
"Of course. Do you want me to give you her contact information?"
"Please give it to me!"
Asuna was extremely excited at the moment. She had been staying in the room alone since she woke up. Her cousins sympathized with her experience, but had no interest in the things in the death game. Asuna had no one to talk to, and she had been feeling very depressed. When she heard that Fang Zheng had Yuna's contact information, she immediately became excited.
Fang Zheng also took out his cell phone and told Asuna Yuuna's phone number, and exchanged his own phone number with Asuna again. Then the two of them had a short lunch, and then...
"Mr. Fang Zheng, do you have anything to do next?"
Although it is reasonable for Asuna to go home after lunch, but now that she has seen Fang Zheng, she is reluctant to go back. Moreover, this is a rare opportunity for her to go home late without being scolded by her parents - after all, her parents have long known that she will go out for a blind date today. If she goes back too early, her mother may think that she is engaging in non-violent non-cooperation, and the nagging will only give Asuna a headache. If possible, she certainly hopes to spend more time with Fang Zheng.
"I'm going to the EJ Club. Do you want to come with me?"
Fang Zheng had naturally made the decision long ago. In the morning, his schedule was to meet with Professor Shigemura to discuss the research and transformation plan of ARGUS. His lunch with Yuuki Shozo was to solve the reorganization problem of RECT. In the afternoon, Fang Zheng planned to go to the game production company EagleJump to see the current development situation and then decide on the development of the next game.
"certainly!"
Since the decision was made, the two of them set off quickly. Fang Zheng drove all the way and arrived at the address of EJ Club in no time.
EJ Club is located in a six-story office building in the city center. The second, third and fourth floors are the offices of a company called "Fangbun Club", while the fifth and sixth floors are the territory of EJ Club. When Fang Zheng and Asuna arrived, it was lunchtime, and the entire office building seemed quiet and uninhabited.
Taking the elevator, the two soon arrived at the EJ Club on the fifth floor. Fang Zheng then reached out and took out his ID card from his pocket, then scanned it to the side. With a "beep", the door opened, and Fang Zheng and Asuna walked in.
From the outside, this is a very ordinary small game production company, but now it looks very dilapidated. Many cubicles are empty, and even the office supplies have been removed. Some places are quite messy. It can be seen that many people have chosen to resign.
“That game was made here.”
Looking at the posters on the wall, Asuna felt a little complicated. Although she knew that the production company was not to blame for all this, she still thought about how they were almost killed by the monsters made by this company in the game...
Well, all in all, it’s hard to put it into words…
"It seems that quite a few people have resigned."
Fang Zheng was obviously not as sentimental as Asuna. He scanned the room and found that many cubicles were empty, which made Fang Zheng frown. Although he had heard that a large number of employees had left EJ before taking over the company, it seemed that... this was more troublesome than he had imagined.
Is there any hope for this company?
If there aren't enough people, do I have to work hard on my own?
"...I haven't been a programmer for many years. I don't like the cold edge of the table. Don't force me to rewrite, don't force me to cry, I will turn hostile... huh?"
While Fang Zheng was singing and observing, he suddenly noticed a gaze coming from the side, curiously looking at him. He turned his head and saw a figure hiding behind the partition, secretly peeking at them. Seeing Fang Zheng turning his head to look over here, the figure was frightened and quickly shrank back, and then after a moment, he poked his head out again tremblingly.
"Who... who are you... what... is going on?"
