After hanging up the phone, An Rou looked at Lin Chen's barely concealed smile and asked curiously, "Boss, did you win the lottery? Why are you so happy?"
Lin Chen took a bite of food and asked, "Senior, how much money would make you happy if you won the lottery?"
"Five million! If I won five million, I could laugh for three days straight without even taking a breath."
"That's too narrow-minded. Senior, are you getting ready to go on a business trip with me after the National Day holiday?"
An Rou asked in confusion, "Boss, our company only makes one game, and we don't even need to go to the office normally, so why do we have to go on business trips?"
"Soon there won't be a single game left," Lin Chen said with a laugh.
"What? Boss, is our company going bankrupt? No way, I haven't even received my internship certificate yet."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Someone from Tencent just called me and said they want to acquire Fruit Ninja. I'll go to Tencent's headquarters in Shenzhen to sign the contract after I get back from the National Day holiday."
Wow! Tencent! How much did it sell for?
"You can laugh for ten months."
An Rou counted on her fingers, her eyes gradually turning to terror. Before she could scream, Lin Chen quickly covered her mouth: "Keep it down, senior, we need to learn to keep a low profile."
An Rou pushed Lin Chen's hand away, took a few deep breaths, and calmed herself down.
Lin Chen continued, "Senior, you need to hurry up and get the update features online before National Day to keep the game popular, otherwise Tencent might try to lower the price."
"Okay, boss, is there a bonus?"
"Bonus? You're dreaming."
"No way, you made 500 million and you're not going to give me a bonus?"
Marx said: "Since it came into the world, capital has been dirty and bloody from every pore."
"So what? You made 500 million and you're not going to give me a bonus?"
"Okay, okay, I'll send it to you. After you finish eating, hurry back to work."
Hehehe.
"I gave you a bonus, are you planning to go on vacation for the National Day holiday?"
"Travel? That's something only rich people do. I still need to save up for my tuition for the first half of next year."
"Um?"
An Rou didn't answer further and ate her food in silence with her head down.
After lunch, Lin Chen had classes in the afternoon, so he headed towards the school, while An Rou went back to catch up on sleep and get back to work.
Sitting in the classroom, after the professor took attendance, Lin Chen had completed his main task for the class. He then quietly took out his phone and sent a message to the Shanghai Four-Man Group.
Who's going home for National Day?
"I."
"I."
"I."
Shen Yue, Su Xiaowan, and Fatty immediately answered.
"There are exactly four of us. You can ride back in my car to save on tickets. Meet at the entrance of Jiaotong University at nine o'clock on the morning of the 11th."
"Okay, hehe."
"Uh-huh."
"Brother Chen, I love you, mwah!"
"You're disgusting, fat man."
Having agreed on a time to go home together, Lin Chen was about to put down his phone when he suddenly remembered what An Rou had said at lunch, so he sent Qian Ming a QQ message.
"Teacher Qian, could you help me find out about a senior student at our school named An Rou? She might be from a poor family."
Why are you asking this?
"She was my company's first employee, and I'm conducting a background check for the company's healthy development."
"Okay, I'll go ask for you. I happen to know the teacher who manages the students from impoverished families quite well. I'll get back to you in a bit."
Ten minutes later, Qian Ming replied to the message.
"Sigh, An Rou is really pitiful. She was abandoned by her parents when she was young and then sent to an orphanage by the community. She lived there until she graduated from high school. After being admitted to Jiaotong University, she had to earn her own living expenses and tuition fees. Although she applied for the school's special hardship student subsidy, the subsidy was not much. So she used her spare time to work outside to save up for tuition and living expenses."
"Okay, I understand."
"You better treat An Rou well, stop deducting her salary all the time, you know?"
"Teacher Qian, am I the kind of unscrupulous boss you think I am?"
"Um, cough cough, I just wanted to remind you."
Putting down his phone, Lin Chen fell into deep thought. It turns out that people's joys and sorrows are really not shared. While others are looking forward to the National Day holiday to go on vacation, An Rou is worried about next year's tuition fees.
"I'll treat this trip to Shenzhen for negotiations as a paid vacation."
After class, Lin Chen packed two pork chop rice dishes and returned to 1901.
"Senior, lunch is ready."
An Rou came out as soon as she smelled it: "Wow, pork chop rice, it smells so good!"
"Senior, it's a real loss to the police force if your nose isn't used as a part-time police dog."
"Aaaaah, believe it or not, I'll bite you to death, you wicked capitalist!"
"You brought me food and then you scolded me. Don't eat it."
"I was wrong, I was wrong." An Rou snatched her pork chop rice and snorted coldly, "Hmph, you'll dare to do it again next time."
Lin Chen took two cans of cola from the refrigerator and handed one to An Rou: "From now on, you are forbidden from drinking alcohol, not even a drop."
“You’re just my boss, not my dad…” An Rou suddenly covered her mouth.
Lin Chen leaned closer to her and asked with a smile, "But you called me 'Dad' last night."
"I didn't, I'm not, you're lying." An Rou denied it three times in a row.
Lin Chen didn't tease her any further and said, "Senior, we're going on a business trip to Shenzhen after the National Day holiday. Remember to ask for leave in advance."
“I’m a senior in college. My internship was arranged by the school, so I didn’t need to ask for leave. Unlike you, you brat.”
"I think to save our company some costs, you should take the cheapest old-fashioned green train."
"Boss, I was wrong."
After several nights of working overtime, An Rou finally completed the game update on the day before National Day. After some tweaking, Lin Chen uploaded the National Day special edition of "Fruit Ninja" so that players all over the world could enjoy the seven-day National Day holiday together.
At Apple's headquarters in the United States, Jack, who was originally in charge of reviewing "Fruit Ninja," was working when he suddenly saw a notification that "Fruit Ninja" had been updated.
"Huh? Fruit Ninja has been updated! Let me see what's new. Oh god, they're giving away new skins for consecutive logins! I have to get them, I already own all the skins."
After the approval was approved, Jack posted a notification about the Fruit Ninja update on his personal Facebook page. As a die-hard fan of the game, he attracted a lot of like-minded gamers on Facebook.
Soon, comments started to appear.
"Oh my god, they're giving away skins for free."
"I've updated it. This knife mark is absolutely amazing, and the tail even looks like a shooting star."
"It's not just the skins; the entire game interface has changed, becoming more festive, somewhat like the style of Chinatown."
"Why are they holding an event now? Christmas isn't even here yet!"
"I Googled it, and it turns out it's China's National Day. As we all know, the developers of Fruit Ninja are Chinese."
"Seven-day National Day holiday, are Americans happy too?"
