Gu Yiming and Jiang Hua were discussing this matter in hushed tones.
"Let's find the mole first, then try to get information out of him. There will definitely be flaws in his story."
"Okay, I'll listen to you, but let's just not give ourselves away."
Jiang Hua rolled her eyes at Gu Yiming. Was he doubting his girlfriend?
"I'm very smart, okay! How could I possibly give myself away!"
The two argued for a while, then dialed the phone on the mole's desk, and the mole arrived shortly afterward.
The mole looked somewhat guilty, his hands were tucked into his sleeves, and his palms were sweating.
"Our company has run into some trouble recently. One of my favorite characters has been stolen. What should I do?"
Jiang Hua's eyes were lifeless, and she had just rubbed them hard. Her voice was also slightly nasal. If Gu Yiming didn't know what was going on, he would probably be fooled too.
"Huh? Well... I guess I'll appeal..."
"How can we appeal? Their game was released earlier than ours, so we have no reason to claim that the character design was ours. Besides, that person should have the character's original design, even if everyone in our company has a copy. That won't help."
"I really can't understand who betrayed our company? Our company's benefits aren't bad, are they?"
"Yes, that person is truly despicable. Miss Jiang, please don't be too sad." He was the mole, and seeing Miss Jiang like this, he couldn't bear it either.
The mole was clearly taken aback. So, she called him over not to find out he was the mole, but to have him come and complain?
Once the mole thought this through, he lowered his guard and started chatting with Jiang Hua.
But because of a single careless word, the mole exposed himself.
"How much do you think I could sell this character for?"
"That's a lot of money, five million! If it weren't for your excellent character design, I wouldn't even be able to..."
As they were talking, the mole's mouth started to run wild. He didn't go far before he realized what was going on and lowered his head, no longer daring to look at Jiang Hua.
"It really was you..."
Jiang Hua thought this young man wouldn't fall for the trap, but he fell for it so quickly—it hadn't even been five minutes!
"I'm sorry... I really am..."
"Can you tell me why you betrayed the company? Did our company treat you so badly?"
"Here's what happened... I received a phone call from someone who wanted to discuss something with me. The person was a good friend of mine, so I went to the phone."
"When I got there, we chatted for a short while and then the conversation turned to character design. I mentioned some of my seniors and even showed them some design drafts. To my surprise, he said he wanted one million for the design, which I didn't agree to. Then he said five million, and I agreed on the spot. You see, who doesn't want to get rich without working for it?"
The mole spoke softer and softer until he was almost inaudible. Jiang Hua's face grew increasingly dark. It was all about money, after all. "Money makes the world go round." That saying was absolutely true.
"Never mind, you've already been fired from the company."
Jiang Hua particularly despises such despicable people who would abandon their jobs and risk their lives for money. He knew that this could lead to legal action! He was already being lenient by not taking him to court, but he still hoped that the man would leave the company.
"Yes... I understand."
I don't know how we interact in real life, so I don't know how to talk to you or what to say to you, so I could only leave the office.
Everyone in the company has gone for lunch break; some have already gone out to eat, and some have gone to see their boyfriends. His office is completely empty. He looked around at his new job and realized he had really gone too far this time.
He not only hurt people's feelings but also lost his job. They must hate him now. Even if Jiang Hua and Gu Yiming don't hate him, once word gets out, everyone else in the company will hate him too.
The mole packed his things and left the company. He stood downstairs for a long time, feeling extremely guilty.
Gu Yiming and Jiang Hua used to treat him very well. Whenever he didn't understand something or couldn't do something, Jiang Hua and Gu Yiming would personally teach him, just like their own older sister and brother. How could he just do this for money...
After struggling for a while, the traitor realized he had already won over Jiang Hua and Gu Yiming. "You're a beast!" he thought. Ni Rigui quickly took a taxi home, turned on his computer, opened Weibo, and posted a message.
A new game recently came out and became popular because of its exceptionally attractive character designs. But today I want to reveal some inside information to you.
Actually, this character was designed by Ms. Jiang from my previous company. Because she trusted us, she gave each of us a draft, saying that if we had any opinions, we should write them down, and then she would consider them and make changes to the character.
My friend invited me out for dinner. I went and we talked about company matters, and the conversation turned to Ms. Jiang. I then showed him the design draft that Ms. Jiang was very proud of.
Then my friend said, "I'll buy this manuscript for 1 million." I initially disagreed. Then he raised the price to 5 million. Who wouldn't want to get rich without working? But I didn't think that much about it; I was only focused on making money, so I sold the manuscript to him.
My actions have deeply saddened Ms. Jiang, and I have been kicked out of the company. I deeply regret my actions, but I know it's useless to regret now. I must bear the consequences of my actions.
I'm posting this to let everyone know: Don't betray your family and friends for money. They will always be the ones who truly care about you.
The images below show our call log and bank transfer records. The audio recording below is from a conversation I accidentally had with her, which I accidentally pressed the record button on my voice recorder.
Now I want to release the evidence to express my apology to Ms. Jiang. I hope you can accept my apology, but it's okay if you don't.
You can take legal action against me, and I won't say much. I hope you can use this post to reclaim your character and add it to your game. When your game is released, I'll be the first to play it. I hope everyone learns from this.
Therefore, everyone must think carefully before making a decision: is it money for the moment, or a lifelong friendship?
