Chapter 45
Old Qin was stunned at first and wanted to refuse Wei Ge, thinking that the host should not do such a thing. But then he remembered that Xing Zhao had been cooking every day recently.
It's probably just a little romance between these two people.
If Mr. Xing could eat what Wei Ge made, he would probably be a hundred times happier than if he made it himself.
But this means that he has very little work to do, so it seems that he has to find something to do. Although Xing Zhao will definitely not be dissatisfied with him because of this kind of thing, he always feels bad.
Wei Ge ran upstairs to change his clothes and came down. Lao Qin had already prepared everything he needed.
"What do you want to learn?" Lao Qin looked at the ingredients prepared in front of him. They were so comprehensive that if Wei Ge wanted to learn the Manchu Han banquet, he could also make a simplified version.
"What's Uncle Xing's favorite food?"
Old Qin pondered: "Beef, vegetables, seafood... Mr. Xing is not picky about food and can eat anything. But..."
He raised his head and looked at Wei Ge: "There is a dish that Mr. Xing has always wanted to eat, but no one dared to make it."
"What dish does no one dare to cook?" Wei Ge was stunned. "What dish?"
-
Xing Zhao sat in the office, Shen Che stood beside him and brought him a cup of coffee.
"Boss Xing, you haven't slept all night. Why don't you take a rest? I'll keep an eye on the company's affairs."
Luzhou Entertainment encountered a huge crisis last night. The game that was originally scheduled to be launched in a week was suddenly launched last night by an unknown new company and became a hit on the entire Internet.
Although it is a new company, the capital behind it is huge, and it is impossible to find out who the real controlling shareholder is, so we dare not confront it head-on easily.
This game is a huge turning point for Luzhou Entertainment. The entire team has been busy for almost a whole year, and only a few people inside the company can access the core information.
The most important thing is that Luzhou Entertainment cannot sue the other party for infringement.
The other party redesigned a new game based on the basic framework of their game. Although it can be seen that it is a large-scale copy, it has no advantage at all in copyright identification.
Unless you can find evidence of commercial copying of their code, or get their core code and compare the creation time of the two codes.
But this also proves that the traitor in their company did not just appear.
A year ago, when the basic framework of the game was just completed, a rival company had already obtained their ideas and copied their plans step by step.
The most terrifying thing is the mole who has been lurking in the company for a long time, and you don’t even know where to start investigating.
"No, go talk to your colleagues in the design team and see if you can find some new highlights for our project and make an update. The number of people who have pre-ordered the game has exceeded one million, so we can't pause it."
Xing Zhao gripped the coffee cup and looked up at Shen Che in front of him.
Shen Che nodded and turned to leave.
There is no problem with the game going online, but the game design concept that has been preheated for so long is exactly the same as the new game that was released a week ago, and the other party is still an unknown new company. This is an extremely insulting blow to Luzhou Entertainment and even ARKI.
Xing Zhao took a sip of coffee and felt a little palpitated.
Having not slept all night and being extremely nervous, he raised his head and picked up a photo on the table.
It was a photo of him and his mother.
Xing Zhao's mother is very beautiful, with thick curly hair. When she smiles, her eyes narrow into slits and there are shallow dimples on her face.
If she had participated in a talent show back then, she might have been a hot star now.
Xing Zhao in the photo is about 1.6 meters tall, with a buzz cut, and likes to show all eight teeth when he smiles.
This is because there was a very popular advertisement at that time. In the advertisement, the spokesperson for toothpaste always smiled very hard to prove that toothpaste can whiten teeth.
Xing Zhao loved watching that advertisement and also liked to imitate it, and over time he developed that habit.
But he hasn't laughed so happily since his mother left.
Until recently, he met Wei Ge.
The emotions that had been suppressed for more than ten years and the painful memories buried in the heart seemed to be gradually being healed by this little boy.
I don’t know when it started, but Xing Zhao seemed willing to open up his feelings. Perhaps because of Wei Ge’s sincerity, he was even willing to open his heart to Wei Ge one day.
Xing Zhao gently stroked the frame of the photo and murmured softly, "Mom, don't worry, I will get through this."
The deer in Luzhou Entertainment are not just Lu Shui’s deer, but also Lu Xiaoyun’s deer.
Lu Xiaoyun is Xing Zhao's mother. Although her surname is the city name, it is a coincidence. However, she is indeed the first female entrepreneur in Lushui and one of the largest companies established by Lushui at that time.
At the Lushui Entrepreneurs Annual Summit, the first speaker was Xing Zhao's mother, Lu Xiaoyun.
But Lu Xiaoyun died too early. In the year when Xing Zhao graduated from elementary school, Lu Xiaoyun died of a heart attack.
Lu Xiaoyun has always had severe arrhythmia, partly because of staying up late and partly because the pressure from the company was too great. Later, Xing Zhao bought a small bottle of quick-acting heart pills for Lu Xiaoyun, asking him to take one whenever he felt uncomfortable.
She is a strong woman and puts all matters at home behind the company. Xing Zhilei was Lu Xiaoyun's secretary at the time. After he married Lu Xiaoyun and had Xing Zhao, all matters of the company were still in Lu Xiaoyun's hands.
Even when she was eight months pregnant, Lu Xiaoyun was still attending meetings at the company and even signed a billion-dollar deal.
What Xing Zhao heard his mother say most often was that he would take over everything in the family in the future, so Lu Xiaoyun had never been gentle to him.
He was smiling so happily in the photo. It was the only time Lu Xiaoyun rewarded him with a trip to the amusement park for his good grades.
That was the first time he went to the amusement park with his mother. He thought that from that day on his mother would become like other mothers, gentle and family-oriented. But a week later, he no longer had a mother.
"Mr. Xing's favorite food when he was a child was the meat dumplings cooked for him by Mr. Lu. Mr. Lu is not from here, and people here don't eat this, nor do they know how to make it."
Old Qin was teaching Wei Ge how to make wontons while chattering on and on.
"During the time you've been here, I can feel that Mr. Xing is happier than before. When he's with you, he's very different from usual. I haven't seen him smile so happily in a long time."
Wei Ge looked at Lao Qin and felt that he was possessed by an NPC in a novel.
The young master hasn't laughed so happily in a long time.
A short awkward drama on a certain audio platform.
But Wei Ge didn't find it funny now. He felt a little sorry for Xing Zhao, a man who had never been loved by his parents since childhood and the only time he received a reward was a week before his mother died.
"Where is Uncle Xing's mother's hometown?" Wei Ge turned to look at Lao Qin.
"Qu County under the Shenzhen Stock Exchange."
Wei Ge put down the half-wrapped wontons in his hand and ran upstairs, "Lao Qin, I'm going to Shenzhen. When my uncle comes back, tell him I went back to my hometown for a class reunion."
Old Qin looked at Wei Ge's back and smiled, "It seems that the gentleman really did not make a mistake in choosing him."
Some people look mature and don't show any emotional waves when encountering anything, but in fact they have already fallen into an uncrossable abyss. Wei Ge may be the one who can pull Xing Zhao out of the abyss.

The ticket Wei Ge bought took off at 12 noon and arrived at Shenzhen Airport at 4 pm.
He made a travel plan in advance and did not stay in Shenzhen. He took the airport bus directly to Qu County.
During this period, he also received a WeChat message from Xing Zhao, which basically told him to be careful when going out. Wei Ge also asked whether Xing Zhao's company issues had been resolved.
Not solved, but not a big problem.
Uncle Xing always has a feeling that he has a plan for everything. In his world, it seems that nothing can't be solved.
The bus drove south until it came to a road section where there were no houses. It was pitch black outside the bus, but the lights inside the bus were already on.
Wei Ge flipped through the backpack he carried with him. He didn't bring a suitcase on this trip, only a mountaineering bag. In it, besides a few sets of clothes and daily necessities, there were also heated rice balls he bought after getting off the plane.
Two were on sale, so he bought two flavors.
He took a couple of bites of the rice ball before it lighted up and searched online for a hotel to stay in for the night.
That place is probably too remote, and the hotel industry is not particularly developed. There is only one four-star chain hotel ten kilometers away from the county town. The price is indeed much cheaper than in the city, but it is not convenient to get to the county town by car.
Wei Ge put away his phone, thinking of finding a hotel to stay in after getting off the bus.
About two hours later, lights gradually lit up on both sides of the road. This county town, about which no information could be found on the Internet, appeared brightly lit outside the car window.
It's just a bunch of two-story self-built houses. There are small stalls selling electric bikes on both sides of the road, and a few small benches half the height of the leg are placed next to them.
When the car arrived at the destination, there were only a few people in the car, except for two elderly people and the driver.
The driver first shouted something in dialect, but Wei Ge didn't understand. He stood up and saw the two old men in front got off the car.
"Kids! We've reached the destination!" The driver repeated it in somewhat broken Mandarin, but this time I could hear it clearly.
Wei Ge got out of the car with a backpack on his back, and the driver followed him out. He locked the car and closed the door in one go. Before Wei Ge even opened the navigation on his phone, the driver had already walked up to him.
"Come to see your relatives? Which relatives? I'll take you there."
Wei Ge turned to look at the enthusiastic driver standing beside him, who looked to be about the same age as Wei Mingzhe.
"I'm not here to visit relatives, I'm here to travel." Wei Ge smiled at his elder brother with his teeth showing. Generally, this kind of smile is very popular with middle-aged people. Maybe his elder brother can even recommend a reliable accommodation for him.
"Travel?" The eldest brother was stunned at first, but then a smile appeared on his face. "Who would come to our county for tourism? This place is so remote. Even if you arrive at night, there is no place to stay."
As soon as he finished speaking, the eldest brother looked down at the phone Wei Ge was holding. "The Internet is harmful. Did you find some travel guides last night? Is Qu County popular?"
"Actually, it's my aunt. She lived here when she was young. I heard that the meat dumplings in Qu County are delicious. I wanted to come and try them, and learn how to make them for my family."
Wei Ge told a lie, but it wasn't a complete lie.
The purpose of his trip was to learn how to make the so-called meat dumplings, even though he had no idea what they tasted like.
"Rice dumplings are a specialty here. You're welcome to visit." The driver patted Wei Ge on the shoulder and smiled at him. "Do you have a place to stay tonight? If not, come with me."
