After handing the ring to Xue Xiaodie, Lu Zhe hesitated about the next step.
Tang Qi is only nineteen years old; this is far too early.
However, back in his office, Lu Zhe took out his phone, glanced at his empty bank account and his Alipay account which owed him more than 20,000 yuan, and suddenly remembered a problem.
Luo Qiu owes me about 20,000 yuan for his surgery, right?
Lu Zhe knew that this guy had undergone surgery recently, and it was said to have gone well. The surgeon, though young and even quite handsome, was exceptionally skilled. Judging from Luo Qiu's reactions in the group chat, his recovery seemed to be going well as well.
He opened the QQ group with only three people, glanced at the chat history, and was immediately shocked.
Shen Leyou first posted a GIF animation and a mysterious link.
Then Luo Qiu said: "Yours won't do. Only this small part looks good. Look at mine."
Immediately afterwards, this guy posted the latest works of five actresses: Momono, Mikami, Kaede Karen, Tenshi Moe, and Hashimoto, along with their catalog numbers and mysterious links—it was all there.
Shen Leyou expressed shock: "Didn't you just have surgery last night?!"
Luo Qiu: [The surgery was over a long time ago. I've been transferred to a regular ward, and with a little more rest, I'll be able to be discharged.]
Shen Leyou: [Are tumors really that easy to cure?]
Luo Qiu: [Mainly because my condition wasn't complicated, and the doctor was very skilled; I was just really lucky.]
Shen Leyou: [Just an exception?]
Luo Qiu: [Yes, an exception. Let's not talk about anything else, what do you think of the cars I posted? Let me tell you, you definitely won't be disappointed!]
Shen Leyou: [I think you should just focus on getting better and stop doing all this.]
Luo Qiu: [Then what am I doing lying in this hospital bed?]
Shen Leyou: [Oh, so all you do in this hospital bed is sew? You could at least play games or watch dramas!]
Luo Qiu: [Of course, it's a game to play. Um, have you ever heard of the "World Mana Supplement"?]
Chen Leyou: [Can we play some games that are officially released through legitimate channels...?]
Luo Qiu: [Wait a minute, I've discovered a really great new actress, born in the 2000s! Look, look!]
Scrolling down further, you'll find a scene of explicit images and links flying around.
Suddenly, someone walked past not far behind him. Lu Zhe subconsciously left the group chat to avoid accidentally letting someone see the picture on his phone screen—that would be quite embarrassing.
After the others left, Lu Zhe opened the group chat again, quickly scrolled to the bottom of the chat history, and made sure that the two of them hadn't posted anything inappropriate.
Then he spoke up: "After Lao Luo is discharged from the hospital, he can come work for me. The testing department is short-staffed right now, and the work should be quite relaxed."
This is a better solution that Lu Zhe came up with.
On the one hand, it could help Luo Qiu. On the other hand, it could give him a source of income so that he could make a living in Chengdu and pay back his money.
Just a few seconds later, Luo Qiu quickly replied: [Is it the legendary case of lots of money and little work?]
Lu Zhe: [The pay might not be much, but the workload isn't heavy either. And I can confirm that most people in the company don't work overtime much, and even when it's necessary, they're paid overtime.]
Luo Qiu: [That does sound pretty good...]
Soon after, Shen Leyou also spoke up: [Quickly, Lao Luo, go work for that scumbag! You still owe us money!]
Lu Zhe: [What do you mean, "scumbag"...]
Shen Leyou: [Heh, aren't you a scumbag enough? Speak honestly.]
Lu Zhe subconsciously touched his chest, then the tip of his nose, and remained silent.
Then Shen Leyou posted another message: "[But that scumbag said it too late. I've been looking for a job recently, and I found one with excellent pay and very little work. The final interview is in a couple of days.]"
Luo Qiu: [Why do you need to find a job? Don't you make a lot of money writing books?]
Shen Leyou: [The first two months were okay, but then subscriptions started to drop, and I'm getting a little worried. Also, writing all day isolates me from society, my days and nights are completely reversed, and I don't have social security. I feel like this can't go on; I need to find a job.]
Luo Qiu: [So what kind of job are you looking for?]
Shen Leyou: [I've passed the interview for a short video company, and they said I can start working tomorrow. I'll be responsible for copywriting, including scripts and dialogue, and it seems I'll also be doing some marketing work on the side.]
Luo Qiu: [So you're going to be active on Douyin and Kuaishou from now on?]
Shen Leyou: [Maybe, but I don't know which platform it is yet. Although I passed the interview, the company is still keeping it a secret from me; it's a bit mysterious.]
Lu Zhe: [Great job, everyone! Keep it up!]
He actually wanted to share his promotion and raise with his friends, but after thinking about it, he decided against it. Otherwise, it would feel like he was showing off.

After being discharged from the hospital, Luo Qiu only rested for a week before eagerly contacting Lu Zhe and submitting his resume.
The resume Lu Zhe helped him submit internally was quickly approved by HR. And lately, HR representative Yang's gaze towards him had become increasingly kind and friendly…
That afternoon, Luo Qiu arrived at the front desk of Ji Chunqiu's company and waited for a few minutes before Mao Kai and Lu Zhe arrived.
Lu Zhe introduced his friend, saying, "This is Mao Kai, the head of the testing department. You can call him Brother Kai. He's interviewing you today, so I won't be involved."
Mao Kai patted him on the shoulder: "If you want, you can participate too. Anyway, I've never seen anyone as fast as you. You can pass on your experience to the newcomer who takes over your job."
Luo Qiu: "Lu Zhe is fast?"
Mao Kai: "Yes, he was promoted very quickly. Okay, come in with me, let's speed up the interview."
Seeing the two enter a small conference room, Lu Zhe turned and walked towards his workstation.
Now, his workstation has long since changed locations. Although it's impossible to arrange a private office like General Manager Xia's, he's been given a relatively independent and quiet place, and he's no longer a member of the testing department.
As soon as Lu Zhe sat down, his phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated. He took it out and saw that it was another old friend, Shen Leyou, calling.
He got up and walked into the empty conference room next door, and answered the call.
Then we heard Shen Leyou's urgent and anxious voice:
"Hey, Lu Zhe, are you free right now? Let me tell you, this job is... wrong!"
Lu Zhe asked instinctively, "What's wrong?"
Shen Leyou: "This video that this company made is fucking weird!"
Lu Zhe: "What, are you going to make an 18+ movie?"
He was just joking, but after the joke, almost ten seconds passed and the other end of the phone didn't answer.
Lu Zhe was immediately taken aback and said, "You really went to become a male porn star!"
