Searching for "Jiang Yuanshi" (Part 8)
The strange man in front of him was incredibly strong. Jiang Yuanshi, who was 1.8 meters tall, lifted him up from the bridge with one hand around the waist.
Jiang Yuanshi had a blank face the whole time, and even when his feet landed on solid ground, he still looked a little dazed.
There was no way around it, because the modeler started by explaining the city regulations to him and even went into detail about garbage classification.
What kind of new persuasion method is this? Jiang Yuanshi was full of question marks, but he had to say that it was very useful, because his mind was full of garbage, and because of this, he successfully missed the opportunity to answer the other party's question.
"Excuse me, do you remember where your home is?"
“…”
When Jiang Yuanshi came to his senses, he had already been taken to the hotel.
Two handsome, tall men in suits checked into a king-size room in the lobby.
"Please keep your ID card."
Jiang Yuanshi didn't have time to see the other person's name clearly, but this was obviously not the point at the moment.
He stood at the door of room 0816 in a daze, holding his ID card, so why did he follow?
The door swiped open and the man made way, motioning for Jiang Yuanshi to go in first. After Jiang Yuanshi entered, the door behind him was gently closed, as if a burning gaze was imprinted on the back of his neck.
Jiang Yuanshi walked forward, turned around silently, looked at the stranger, and asked: "So what's the situation now?"
The man with dark red eyes said, "I thought you knew it well. After all, you didn't resist at all."
The man had a cold expression, but his eyes were fixed on Jiang Yuanshi. Jiang Yuanshi sneered in his heart. So this was really the case. He was wondering how someone could be so kind as to save him.
Now that he failed to die, he has no thoughts, no sadness or joy, like a hollow man.
Forget it, let's leave it at that.
Jiang Yuanshi tugged at his tie, leaned lazily against the edge of the table and said, "Okay, then you can do it yourself."
The amber eyes showed no emotion. The figure of the man in the pupils kept getting bigger and bigger until everything in front of him turned black. Jiang Yuanshi let the other person take off his suit, tie, buttons, and belt like a dummy...
Jiang Yuanshi felt weak and cold, he must be crazy.
But things had come to this point, Jiang Yuanshi lowered his eyes, waiting for the next step to come, and then he was picked up and his body was suspended in the air.
Are you going to throw him onto the bed? That's how it's portrayed in the TV series, but is this kind of behavior really possible in real life?
Jiang Yuanshi didn't understand what was the point of throwing someone on the bed? Throwing the person unconscious and manually knocking him out?
Just as he was waiting to be thrown from a high altitude, his body was gently put down, his head sank into the pillow which was too soft, his shoes were taken off, the quilt was opened and wrapped again, and when Jiang Yuanshi came to his senses, he was already wrapped tightly.
"What are you...doing?"
The man said seriously: "Sleep."
Jiang Yuanshi: "...Just me?"
"?" The other person's face showed an expression of "what else?", "You have very heavy dark circles under your eyes."
Jiang Yuanshi's body began to heat up from head to toe.
Looking at the other person's slightly red face, the man said, "Do you have a fever?"
"Uh...no." Jiang Yuanshi really wanted to die now.
The man seemed unaware and frowned, "If working overtime is too severe and affects your health, I suggest you quit and find another job."
Jiang Yuanshi: "I have already resigned."
Man: "So you're upset because of layoffs?"
Jiang Yuanshi: "...No, I took the initiative."
Man: "It seems that you work so hard in this job that you don't even want N+1."
“…”
How come everything can be related to work?
Jiang Yuanshi didn't know why he started chatting with a stranger so naturally: "How much do you like your work?"
"Because I can't think of anything else to do."
"Then you can travel, stay at home, play games, go shopping, etc., can't you do so many things?"
"You can travel, stay at home, play games, go shopping, etc., so why do you want to commit suicide?"
This sentence was successfully repeated by the other party. Jiang Yuanshi felt sleepy as soon as his head touched the pillow. In addition, he got off work at midnight and went to work at 9 am every day. He only had less than 6 hours of sleep a day. His eyelids began to droop, but there was someone he had never met before. He tried his best to answer: "Because it's meaningless to me. I have done it. There is nothing for me to worry about."
"So that's how it is. Maybe you'll have something to do soon." The other party's voice was deep and clear. Jiang Yuan, who was sleepy, couldn't hear it clearly, so he asked, "What did you say?"
"Maybe you should go to bed." The man stood up. Jiang Yuanshi looked at him and felt a sense of familiarity for some reason: "Have we met before? Your eyes..."
The man turned around, and before Jiang Yuanshi could see clearly or say anything, a hand blocked his entire vision. Only a tiny ray of light came through, and a soft pat was heard through the quilt, "You should go to bed. See you tomorrow."
"I haven't... told you my name yet? Since you took my ID card, you must know my name. What's your name?"
"...My name is Jiang Zhi, which means send to."
Jiang Yuanshi was conscious and before he fell asleep, he murmured softly, "Songzizi? Curious name."
It seemed so familiar, but he couldn't remember it.
…
The next day, Jiang Yuanshi was woken up by the ringing of his cell phone. He didn't expect that the phone was still charged after a night, and it wasn't muted. Jiang Yuanshi sat up suddenly, brushed the hair on his forehead back with one hand, inserted his fingers into his messy hair, and answered the phone impatiently with the other hand: "Hello, hello."
"Hello, hello! It's me! Your temporary replacement. You must be sleeping soundly right now. You look like you just got up. You didn't even check who called."
"Oh, it's you. What's up, Mr. Chen? I'm hanging up now."
Jiang Yuanshi looked around sleepily and found that no one was there. He made a "tsk" sound. The person on the other end of the phone said, "No, did you hear me? It's urgent and you're still tsk tsk tsk tsk. If you have time, you might as well think about what to do next!"
"Sorry, I didn't hear you clearly. What happened?"
"..." The person on the other end of the phone choked, but finally compromised and answered, "The company's new game just released has a competitor!"
Jiang Yuanshi said as if it was normal: "There are many similar games in the first place. When a new game comes out, there will be similar games coming out. Isn't that normal? Just continue to update according to the process."
"That's the problem. A small company that came out of nowhere directly released a game last night, as if it was free. They bought popularity overnight to attract players. As long as you register, you will get hundreds of draws, and you will get a set of games when you log in. The content of their game conflicts with the content we are going to update today!"
Jiang Yuanshi: "The contents collided?"
"Yeah, if the mechanisms are the same, it's not uncommon, but the updated content, the built-in mini-games, the updated interactions, and even the hidden NPC attributes in the store are all similar."
"Leaked?"
"It's hard to be sure. We are checking. But how can it be so complete? Their mechanism and content are even more perfect. They launched a VR version right after it was launched. It's like they are burning money. Although it may be unpopular in the future, the problem now is that we launched later than them. Once it is released now, we will definitely be involved in plagiarism storms again. It's so annoying."
Jiang Yuanshi frowned: "It must be released. After all, it is not plagiarized. Show the production process and evidence, prepare the public relations. And you haven't contacted that company yet?"
The partner said, "They came to see you because they contacted you. They specifically wanted to see you, otherwise there would be no discussion. They were so arrogant."
Jiang Yuanshi rubbed his forehead, and inexplicably thought of the man from last night. What was his name, Jiang Zi? "
"Hurry up and pack up!"
"I know, I know, right away." As Jiang Yuanshi lifted the quilt and got out of bed, a piece of paper floated out of the chest pocket of his shirt. It was obvious that it was not stuffed carefully.
Jiang Yuanshi picked up the note. The handwriting on it looked like it was printed on a computer, in standard bold font. It read:
"See you again if we are destined to, Jiang Zhi (the one who sends you to)"
Jiang Yuanshi: “…”
He said "childish" silently, folded the note in half and put it back in his chest pocket, then got up, packed up and went to the company.
He called: "Hello, I'm Jiang Yuanshi."
"Hello, Jiang Yuanshi."
The voice on the other end of the phone was low, pleasant but emotionless, and a very familiar voice. Just when Jiang Yuanshi thought it was an illusion, the voice on the other end of the phone said, "My name is Jiang Zhi, Zhi means send to. I hope you can remember my name this time."
“……”It would be strange if I didn’t remember this.
Jiang Yuanshi: "Are you the founder of **Game Company?"
"Yes, I'm also a producer. I'd like to state in advance that my encounter with you was purely accidental. I have not stolen any information from your company, nor do I intend to use you to develop myself. After all, I'm not short of money."
Jiang Yuanshi's words were successfully blocked: "..."
"Do you have any other questions?"
Jiang Yuanshi, who was predicted to be speechless, held his forehead and said, "Didn't we agree that the two sides of the company would meet? Your company doesn't plan to communicate purely by voice, right?"
"Oh, OK, I'm already downstairs at your company, but I don't have an appointment. Can you let me in? Your security downstairs is very serious and responsible, and they are on high alert."
Just then, the phone in Jiang Yuanshi's office rang, and his secretary said, "Mr. Jiang, there's a guy named Jiang Zhi downstairs looking for you. He said he's from **Game Company and wants to discuss this. Do you want to let him in?"
Jiang Yuanshi said weakly: "Let go."
Jiang Yuanshi was still on the phone and was about to hang up when he heard the other end say, "Boss Jiang, can I take your CEO elevator? The employee elevator is on the 20th floor and it's a little slow coming down. I'll be late to see you this way. If you don't agree, please wait a moment."
"..."For some reason, Jiang Yuanshi smelled tea. He asked his secretary to notify the front desk and bring the person up.
In the meeting room, Jiang Yuanshi was followed by several capable assistants waiting for the other party to arrive. Only one person came. The man was tall and had long legs. He was wearing a black suit, which made his superior model face look even colder. He stood in front of Jiang Yuanshi, a head taller than him. He extended his hand and introduced himself: "Hello, Mr. Jiang, I am Jiang Zhi, Zhi for delivery."
Mr. Jiang smiled politely and said, "Hello, Jiang Yuanshi. What a coincidence, we both have the last name Jiang."
Jiang Yuanshi's partner behind him whispered, "Well, now that President Jiang has appointed another male model, do game company founders have to be that competitive now?"
Jiang Yuanshi was too lazy to pay attention to the other party and just asked politely, "Are you here alone?"
Jiang Zhi: "Yes, I am enough alone."
"..." Although the other party was sincere, he somehow deserved a beating. Just as Jiang Yuanshi was smiling and trying to be more polite, the other party replied as if he could read Jiang Yuanshi's mind: "I'm sorry, I don't mean to look down on your company, it's just that I'm the only one in our company."
Jiang Yuanshi was stunned: "You alone? You made that game by yourself? You were also the one who designed the art and background music?"
The other party nodded: "Yes, it was all me. I brought a computer and a USB drive to prove it."
Jiang Yuanshi didn't want this, so he asked directly: "How long did it take you?"
Jiang Zhi hesitated and replied: "...one year."
Jiang Yuanshi looked a little unbelievable, and Jiang Zhi said in some confusion: "Sorry, am I too slow?"
...Is this slow? Jiang Yuanshi was also an independent game maker before. It took more than two years for a game to be prepared and completed. How could this person perfect it in just one year?
If this is true...
In the meeting room, the other party generously showed his production process and experience and results. Jiang Yuanshi's first sentence after reading it was: "Hello, are you considering changing your career? What do you think of our company?"
Others:?
Jiang Zhi: “If you are the boss.”
Jiang Yuanshi: "Sure, when you become bigger, you want to be the boss... Well, you have to talk to Mr. Chen first."
Jiang Yuanshi employees and Mr. Chen:?
However, Jiang Zhi refused after hearing this: "Sorry, I don't plan to be your boss. I have already registered my own company. I have to wait for the money I spend to be repaid."
Jiang Yuanshi was agitated for a moment, but after calming down, he said, "That makes sense. Then let's talk about the public relations next."
But unfortunately, in the end they didn't come up with a reason that was beneficial to both sides. In that case, since both sides have evidence to prove that they did not plagiarize, they might as well let it go and treat it as a miraculous coincidence.
Jiang Yuanshi, who thought the storm was over and he could retire, never imagined that Jiang Zhi's appearance would make him no longer able to let go. The games released by his own company would collide with those of Jiang Zhi's company from time to time, and it turned out to be a coincidence. Even the netizens who had argued about plagiarism at the beginning started to make fun of it.
The two companies seem to have a tacit understanding like a married couple.
What a fateful enemy.
Jiang Yuanshi had to start working again.
One day the negotiation ended.
Jiang Yuanshi stood up and shook hands with the rival company, smiling politely but with a dagger hidden in his smile, he said, "It's a pleasure to work with you, President Jiang."
The man with dark red eyes replied politely, "It's a pleasure to work with you, Mr. Jiang."
The two companies cooperated with each other, and the employees couldn't help but sweat when they saw the two CEOs seemed harmonious but were actually in confrontation.
I hope it's really enjoyable.
In the CEO elevator, the two CEOs Jiang stood side by side. Jiang Yuanshi sighed heavily: "Why are you here?"
"Because the employee elevator is full."
"Then you won't wait for the next one?"
"Is this your company's way of entertaining guests?"
Jiang Yuanshi sneered: "Are you a guest? Is this what you mean by giving me something to do?"
Jiang Zhi was stunned: "So you heard it that day."
Jiang Yuanshi rolled his eyes: "So what? Anyway, now I am working overtime every day without a day off all year round, thanks to someone. My life is so fulfilling."
"After all, you want to jump whenever you take a break. The last time I went to the beach for a break, I fell into the sea while I was resting."
"Yes, thanks to a kind person who followed me and pulled me out of the sea while I was fishing for my glasses. Otherwise, I would have almost found my 6,888 glasses."
Jiang Zhi: "I remember I have already compensated you."
Jiang Yuanshi glanced at the other person and said, "Oh, so the cooperation project is called apology. Thank you so much for working one more day."
"But you agreed to it at the time."
"Nonsense, you carried me from the sea to the crowd, do I have no shame? You didn't let me go even if I disagreed." Jiang Yuanshi laughed angrily, "You are worse than my puppy. We have the same color eyes, but you are different dogs."
Jiang Zhi was not angry at all when he was scolded. Instead, he calmly replied, "Woof."
