Chapter 97, Chapter 10: Female Supporting Character in Online Game Novel
Xu Qingzhou remained mysteriously silent as he watched the manager wink at him.
"My internship isn't even over yet, isn't this a bit inappropriate?"
The manager's expression changed, and he glared at Xu Qingzhou.
"Hey! It's just introducing some basic tasks, what's wrong with that?"
He quickly turned around, a smile plastered on his face, and carefully explained to Yu Wanwan.
"Miss Ji, please don't misunderstand! Although Xiao Xu has only been here for half a month, he is very capable and can already handle things on his own. Having him mentor you is absolutely not meant to look down on you!"
Yu Wanwan chuckled, her hands clasped behind her back, watching Xu Qingzhou with a leisurely air.
"What? You're reluctant to take me along?"
Beads of cold sweat appeared on the manager's forehead. He was about to open his mouth when Yu Wanwan gave him a dismissive glance, silencing him.
He could only wipe his sweat, sidle up to Xu Qingzhou, and slap him on the back.
"Speak up, Xiao Xu!"
The words were almost squeezed out between his teeth, with a hint of warning in his eyes.
A sense of helplessness washed over Xu Qingzhou.
"Then come with me."
Yu Wanwan raised an eyebrow, nodded to the manager, picked up her bag, and followed him.
The two had barely walked away when a group of people immediately surrounded them.
"Manager Zhang, who is this?"
Their studio stopped recruiting two weeks ago.
Anyone who can get in at this time is definitely not ordinary.
The manager didn't hide it from them; he glanced in the direction Yu Wanwan had left and lowered his voice.
"Miss Qicheng Group, Mr. Lu personally brought this person over, please take good care of her!"
The expressions on these people's faces became somewhat subtle, with a hint of dissatisfaction, but no one said anything.
After giving instructions to these people, the manager didn't linger. He called the project team leader aside and spoke with him privately.
Xu Qingzhou, who was helping Yu Wanwan tidy up her desk, also took advantage of the fact that no one was around to look at her with disapproval.
"You knew perfectly well what his intentions were in asking me to bring you here, so why did you agree?"
The manager's demeanor clearly indicated that he was treating her like a rich young lady who had gotten in through connections, trying to appease her.
Yu Wanwan leaned against the table, her face completely indifferent.
"I'm not here to work, why shouldn't I agree?"
Xu Qingzhou paused, his brows furrowed in confusion.
"If you're not here to work, then what are you doing here?"
"They've come to see you."
"..."
Xu Qingzhou's hand trembled, and the folder in his hand fell to the ground with a thud.
My heart suddenly accelerated in my chest, beating faster and faster, and a layer of heat rose from behind my ears.
But look at Yu Wanwan again, lazily fiddling with the small potted plant on the table, her eyes full of gentleness and harmlessness.
Just like what she said earlier, it was as if she just said it casually.
Xu Qingzhou swallowed hard, and while squatting down to pick up the folder, he raised his hand to cover his steaming face.
"What do you want from me?"
Yu Wanwan didn't notice his panic at all, and her tone was both matter-of-fact and slightly complaining.
"I was so bored at home alone. Since you're here, I came over."
She said it so naturally, as if it were something perfectly natural.
It's as simple as drinking water when you're thirsty or eating when you're hungry.
But Xu Qingzhou couldn't do it that simply.
Even though he knew perfectly well that she said she came to see him just because she was bored, and that there was no ambiguity involved.
But he just couldn't control his wildly beating heart.
Picking up the folder and putting it where it belonged, Xu Qingzhou turned his head and stared intently into her smiling eyes.
"You were bored at home, so you thought of coming to see me?"
His voice was low, but his tone was serious.
"Why?"
Yu Wanwan paused for a moment, tilted her head, and looked puzzled.
Xu Qingzhou stepped forward, closing the distance between the two.
Their breaths intertwined and intertwined.
"Why is it that when you're bored, the first thing you think of is coming to me?"
The smile in Yu Wanwan's eyes gradually faded, leaving a hint of etherealness.
Yes, why would she come to him when she's bored?
In that instant, she was standing right in front of him, so close.
But Xu Qingzhou inexplicably felt that she was very, very far away from him, so far that he could not reach her no matter how hard he tried.
This made him feel flustered, and he instinctively lowered his head and gently pressed his lips to hers.
The warmth of her lips brought Yu Wanwan back to her senses.
She didn't dodge, but glanced down at his upturned eyes.
As that ethereal and distant feeling subsided, Xu Qingzhou's flustered heart gradually calmed down. He gently pecked her lips again, straightened up, and distanced himself from her.
"I'm glad you thought of me first, no matter why."
Yu Wanwan stayed at the Yunjing Internet Studio.
Everyone in the studio knew her identity. Although they had their grievances, they were all adults and no one did anything underhanded to ostracize her.
Of course, no one came up to her to curry favor.
They all kept their distance from her, and as long as she didn't cause trouble or bother them, they treated her as if she didn't exist.
Yu Wanwan was also happy to be relaxed and carefree.
Xu Qingzhou, on the other hand, was exceptionally good at ordering her around.
Even though she had said from the beginning that she didn't intend to work here, Xu Qingzhou still taught her everything he knew.
I explained the studio's work to her in a very thorough way.
They would even assign her some basic tasks to complete.
Initially, some colleagues from the studio told Xu Qingzhou that he didn't need to take it so seriously and could just deal with it casually.
This would also prevent him from overstepping his bounds and causing trouble for himself if the young lady became unhappy one day.
Xu Qingzhou didn't know how to explain it. He could sense that these people had no ill intentions and were genuinely looking out for him.
After thanking them for their kindness, he continued to do what he was supposed to do.
Gradually, the people in the studio realized that this young lady who got in through connections was not as pampered as they had imagined.
Xu Qingzhou didn't assign her many tasks, but she always completed them perfectly without ever making a mistake.
These people then stopped saying anything more.
The turning point came one afternoon when the project team was gathered in the conference room, looking at a whiteboard with a puzzled expression.
It was covered with all sorts of data.
Several core engineers are having a heated debate over a single line of formula.
The others sat in their seats, each with a worried expression.
A somber atmosphere hung over the meeting room.
Yu Wanwan sat next to Xu Qingzhou, her chin resting on the table, dozing off.
Her behavior was so obvious that it drew the attention of many people who were unhappy with her.
The engineer above was already annoyed, and when he saw someone blatantly dozing off, he got angry and slammed his hand on the table.
He glared angrily at the team leader.
"Who's that? This is a meeting place, not a place to sleep! Go home and sleep if you want!"
The team leader, having been yelled at, could only suppress his anger and glare at Yu Wanwan...
Xu Qingzhou beside me.
Xu Qingzhou touched the tip of his nose, resignedly grabbed her arm, and pulled her up.
"Hang in there a little longer."
At least don't make it so obvious!
Disturbed, Yu Wanwan was also a little annoyed. She simply broke free from Xu Qingzhou's hand, pushed back the chair, stood up abruptly, and wobbled as she walked upstairs.
The engineer got even angrier and slammed his fist on the table.
"What kind of attitude is this? Wang Xiuli! What kind of people have you hired?!"
The team leader was also helpless and had a headache. He could only give Xu Qingzhou a look while trying to calm down the several angry engineers.
"Engineer Yang! Calm down, calm down, she is..."
Before he could finish speaking, the person who was expected to leave the meeting room appeared in front of the whiteboard.
Her slender, pale hand reached past the group of people, picked up the marker on the table, and interrupted the group leader.
Everyone stared at her in disbelief. Xu Qingzhou, who had been catching up, also stopped and stood aside watching her.
Engineer Yang frowned, suppressing his anger and dissatisfaction as he looked at her.
What are you going to do?
Yu Wanwan ignored him, raised her hand and quickly crossed out a line of formulas, writing a completely new derivation process below.
She acted too quickly; neither the team leader nor Xu Qingzhou had time to stop her.
"you……"
Engineer Yang also stood up abruptly, dragging his chair with a screeching sound.
But his anger faltered when he saw the newly written formula, his pupils contracted, and all his roars caught in his throat.
Not only him, but several other engineers also fell silent, staring intently at the gradually forming formula.
As the formula gradually took shape and became complete, the engineers looked at each other, and the light in their eyes gradually changed from bewilderment to shining with excitement.
In just a few minutes, a completely new and unfamiliar formula appeared on the whiteboard.
Yu Wanwan casually tossed the marker pen, which landed precisely on the table, exactly where she had just picked it up.
"If you stick to the old ways, you'll never finish this project in your lifetime."
She ignored the group and, with her hands behind her back, staggered out of the meeting room.
Xu Qingzhou glanced at the people in the meeting room, thought for a moment, then greeted the team leader and ran out after her.
When he came out, Yu Wanwan was playing games on her desk.
Xu Qingzhou went over to take a look and found that she was chatting with a shady businessman again.
For a moment, I didn't know how to feel.
After standing there for a while without her paying any attention to him, Xu Qingzhou sighed and dragged a chair to sit down next to her.
"Little Koi, can you tell me where you learned that formula?"
The formula she wrote down in the conference room was not in the original owner's memory.
Judging from the reactions of those engineers, it was clear that this was not something they were familiar with.
He was curious how she knew that.
Yu Wanwan didn't even look up, typing away furiously, outlining the materials the unscrupulous merchant wanted to collect.
"I made it up myself."
"???"
"You made this up yourself?!"
You can even make this yourself?
How amazing must she be!
Yu Wanwan nodded indifferently.
He wanted to ask more, but she found it annoying and chased him away.
Xu Qingzhou had no choice but to closely monitor the progress made by the engineers.
Three days later.
Engineer Yang rushed into the team leader's office, his voice trembling.
"It worked! That iterative formula really does work! The distortion rate dropped by 90%! Who is she?!"
The team leader, watching Engineer Yang gesturing excitedly, was also somewhat dazed.
"She's... a relative whom President Lu put in here, the eldest daughter of the Qicheng Group..."
