Upon hearing Qin He's answer, Cheng Zijun could hardly believe his ears.
The air seemed to freeze.
After a long pause, Cheng Zijun finally found his voice, "What did you say? Who did Academician Chen sign a contract with?"
"It's the Thrilling Game," Qin He replied, forcing a smile.
Qin He was also puzzled.
Despite the current situation clearly favoring the Cheng Group, Academician Chen still chose to act rashly.
What is the allure of a fluttering heart?
What makes them so appealing that both Shen and Academician Chen choose them?
Bang!
Cheng Zijun slammed his fist on the table, veins bulging on his face. "Impossible! Absolutely impossible! Academician Chen would never cooperate with Jidong! Qin He, you must be mistaken!"
Cheng Zijun couldn't believe it.
Lin Yuze walked over to Cheng Zijun with his phone in hand. "Brother Zijun, Jidong has already made an official announcement on Weibo. It seems to be true."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Zijun immediately took the phone from Lin Yuze's hand.
The Weibo post was just published.
Although only three minutes have passed, there are already more than a thousand comments.
[Oh my god, Master Chen actually collaborated with Jidong! The 2D and 3D worlds have finally been bridged! Waaaaah!]
I hope this exciting game won't disappoint me.
[JiDong is disgusting. Knowing they can't compete with the Cheng Group in the gaming industry, they secretly signed Academician Chen. Doesn't Academician Chen never accept commercial collaborations? What dirt does JiDong have on him?]
I'll ask one more time, when exactly will your game be released?
With such a grand undertaking, if Jidong doesn't achieve some results, things might get messy.
[Academician Chen is confused! Anyone with eyes should know to choose the Cheng Group. Aren't you afraid of ruining your reputation in your later years?]
I've heard that the new shareholder of Jidong Games is quite capable. I think their game is worth looking forward to; perhaps Jidong will actually win the Sky Award in the end.
What abilities could the investors possibly have? No matter how capable that shareholder is, they can't be more powerful than Xie Huaijin. President Cheng is a once-in-a-decade dark horse; with these two combined, they're bound to be invincible. Jin Dong is destined to become a joke!
[Jidong Games is truly disgusting. A few days ago they released fake game screenshots and videos, and now they've poached Master Chen before the Cheng Group could! Their behavior is utterly disgraceful! Luckily, President Cheng has a strong foundation; even without Master Chen's endorsement, Cheng's games will surely shine brightly. Every beginning is difficult!]
[...]
The comments section contained both criticism and congratulations.
Regardless of the comments, the signing of the contract between Academician Chen and Jidong is a done deal.
This moment.
Cheng Zijun's hand holding the phone was trembling.
He is clearly the dark horse of the financial world, a once-in-a-decade phenomenon!
Has Chen Yin gone mad?
Isn't she afraid of ruining her reputation by collaborating with Jidong?
Cheng Zijun tried to calm himself down and looked at Lin Yuze, "Has Academician Chen's savior been found?"
Their only hope now is to find Academician Chen's savior.
Only by finding that mysterious savior could they have a chance to overcome their fears and regain their cooperation with Academician Chen.
Lin Yuze shook his head. "Not yet."
Cheng Zijun squinted, "Search! Keep searching! No matter the cost, we must find Academician Chen's savior!"
"Understood, I will continue to investigate."
Cheng Zijun scratched his head, feeling extremely irritated. "Also, I need to see Jiang Ning. Arrange it!"
Jidong has already secured two collaborations with the Cheng Group.
Cheng Zijun must acquire Jidong immediately!
We can't delay any longer.
Lin Yuze looked at Cheng Zijun and said, "Brother Zijun, I'm sorry, I probably can't arrange this. Jiang Ning is no longer the love-struck girl you used to call on and dismiss at will."
At this point, Lin Yuze continued, "Don't even mention me going to find her, I'm afraid even if you go to her in person, Jiang Ning will never see you again."
The current Jiang Ning is no longer the sycophant who only knew how to follow Cheng Zijun around.
Upon hearing this, Cheng Zijun sneered, "Yuze, you overestimate her! All she's doing now is to make me contact her and add her on WeChat. Believe it or not, as soon as I add her back on WeChat, she'll immediately accept."
Lin Yuze shook his head. "I don't believe it."
"Fine! You don't believe me? I'll prove it to you." Cheng Zijun picked up his phone. "Give me Jiang Ning's phone number!"
Lin Yuze took out his phone and found Jiang Ning's phone number in his contacts, "138.......6812".
Cheng Zijun searched for Jiang Ning's WeChat account, clicked to add her, and added the note: Cheng Zijun.
"Just watch, Jiang Ning will definitely agree within a minute! Not only that, after she accepts the friend request, she'll bombard me with love confessions!"
When he said the last sentence, Cheng Zijun's face was full of smugness.
Jiang Ning's favorite thing to do is send him short essays.
But Cheng Zijun never even glanced at the love confessions she posted.
Seeing Cheng Zijun lost in his own world again, Lin Yuze was speechless. "Brother Zijun, how can you still not see clearly? Jiang Ning doesn't love you anymore. She would never accept your friend request, let alone send you a long post."
“If Jiang Ning doesn’t love me, does she love you? Facts speak louder than words!” Cheng Zijun said firmly.
Lin Yuze rubbed his temples, looking exhausted. "Brother Zijun, you're right. Facts speak louder than words."
Ding-dong!
At that very moment.
Cheng Zijun's phone rang.
It's a WeChat notification sound.
Cheng Zijun's lips curled into a smug smile as he said, "See? Jiang Ning sent me a long essay."
He knew that Jiang Ning couldn't live without him.
Everything Jiang Ning did was just to get him to take the initiative to find her.
But the next second.
