After lunch, Xiang Wan saw that it was still early, so she decided to go shopping at the mall first.
I've spent the last few days here in the hospital, so it's definitely worth going shopping to relax.
In the past, there were many small clothing stores next to shopping malls, where the items were cheap and affordable. But now, apart from large shopping malls and food streets, you can hardly find those kinds of retail stores in commercial streets.
The mall was crowded. The first floor sold jewelry, the second and third floors sold clothing, and further up were children's playgrounds and food and entertainment areas.
Xiang Wan took the bank card, changed her entire outfit, and then took a taxi to the agreed location.
The location was a bit out of the way, but when Xiang Wan arrived, he found that Liu Yude was already sitting in a window seat.
He'd already downed half a cup of coffee, which meant he'd been there for a while.
Looking at her watch, she saw there were still ten minutes left, so she called the waiter for a cup of coffee with milk and sipped it slowly.
Compared to three years ago, Liu Yude looked more capable. Dressed in casual clothes, his eyes behind gold-rimmed glasses sized up Xiang Wan and he smiled, "Miss Xiang, it's been a long time. You've become more and more beautiful."
Xiang Wan pursed her lips and looked into his eyes.
Before the call, Liu Yude hadn't been so distant and polite. It seems he's already learned what he needed to know in the past two days.
"Manager Liu, believe it or not, I lost my memories of the past three years in the car accident a few days ago. I'm here to talk to you today for two reasons: first, I do have something to discuss with you, and second, it's about Qiu Rui."
Liu Yude blinked but didn't respond.
After recommending her to the company, they had less contact.
How could it be that just when the data was leaked, she claimed to have amnesia? Is there such a coincidence in the world?
Whether it's true or not, her purpose in seeking him out is what matters most.
“Ms. Xiang, let me be frank with you. I took a huge risk by contacting you. You are about to be in big trouble, and I only flew over from Province A early this morning because we used to work together. It’s no use telling me about your amnesia; the company needs to believe it. As for Qiu Rui, I’m not familiar with him; you’ve probably asked the wrong person.”
As a high-ranking official, his every move is under scrutiny.
Competition is fierce in companies, especially gaming companies.
He's weathered a lot of open and covert attacks to get to his position in the company. One wrong move and he could be ousted by someone else.
However, he also possesses a spirit of adventure.
He was able to overcome all opposition to let Xiang Wan join the company because he believed in her abilities, and she certainly did not disappoint his appreciation.
If today's meeting is just about these things, he thinks there's no need to meet again.
Xiang Wan kept her gaze fixed on Liu Yude, and naturally noticed the changes in his expression.
Xiang Wan took a sip of her coffee, then took her phone out of her bag and handed it to him.
"Manager Liu, at your level, you've seen a lot. As a seasoned gamer or an ordinary office worker, aren't you curious about what ordinary people like us like to do in our daily lives?"
Liu Yude was a little confused. He took Xiang Wan's phone, swiped it a few times, put it back on the table, and pushed it back to Xiang Wan.
"Say what you want to say directly."
“Then I won’t beat around the bush.” Xiang Wan picked up the game, opened it, and started playing. “During my time in the hospital, I was very bored and thought of countless plans for the future. In the end, I realized that it seems that the only one who can achieve these plans with me is you.”
"Don't rush to answer, let me finish."
"For the average office worker, working nine to five, the only time they have left besides work is to travel. But traveling isn't the best way to relax. Most people like me would rather stay home and lie down than go to crowded places and sweat it out."
"What can you do while resting at home? Besides watching TV and movies and chatting with friends, what about the rest of the time? Play games? Do something you're interested in? And then what?"
"Modern life, whether it's the pace of life or the standard of living, is improving rapidly. Whatever people do, if they can make money while doing what they love, that's the best way of life."
"So, Manager Liu, do you understand what I mean?"
After quickly playing a game, Xiang Wan put her phone down.
As the triumphant music played inside, coupled with Xiang Wan's confident smile, Liu Yude suddenly found himself unable to understand Xiang Wan.
While discussing business, he can also win a game in the process. Is this really the veteran player who profits by selling game data?
It seems that in her eyes, being able to have fun is the most important thing, and everything else is just secondary.
Liu Yude opened his mouth, but couldn't think of anything to say for the moment. He couldn't help but pick up his coffee and take a sip to cover up his embarrassment.
“Manager Liu, the first time I met you, I knew you were a trustworthy person. That’s why I approached you first. With your connections and resources, combined with my intelligence and skills, it’s not impossible for us to create something completely different.”
With a "pfft," Liu Yude almost sprayed the coffee he hadn't yet swallowed all over the table.
He frantically grabbed some tissues to wipe it, and in that moment of turning his head, he completely ruined the chair next to him.
Xiang Wan was a little puzzled. Liu Yude wasn't usually such a reckless person, so why was he so agitated?
If the system were here, it would definitely be laughing its head off.
Sigh, I suddenly miss that awful 007.
It took Liu Yude a long time to tidy up. When he looked at Xiang Wan, who was extremely calm, he felt a lump in his throat.
How did she manage to paint such a rosy picture without batting an eye?
