Searching for "Jiang Yuanshi" (VIII)
The strange man in front of him was surprisingly strong. Jiang Yuanshi, who was 1.8 meters tall, lifted him up from the bridge with one hand around his waist.
Jiang Yuanshi had a blank face the whole time, and even when his feet landed on the solid ground, he still looked a little dazed.
There was no way around it, because the modeler started by explaining city regulations to him, even explaining garbage classification in detail.
What kind of new persuasive method is this? Jiang Yuanshi was full of questions, but he had to admit that it was very useful, because his mind was full of all kinds of garbage. Because of this, he successfully missed the opportunity to answer the other party's question.
"Excuse me, do you still 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, and it seemed as if a burning gaze was imprinted on the back of his neck.
Jiang Yuanshi walked forward, turned silently, looked at the stranger, and asked, "So what's going on now?"
The man with dark red eyes said, "I thought you knew it well. After all, you didn't resist the whole time."
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 didn't die, he has no thoughts, no sadness or joy, like a hollow man.
Forget it, let it be.
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 were emotionless, and 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 party take off his suit, tie, buttons, and belt like a mannequin...
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 TV dramas, but does that really happen in real life?
Jiang Yuanshi didn't understand the meaning of throwing someone on the bed? Throwing them unconscious and manually stun them?
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, and the quilt was opened and wrapped again. When Jiang Yuanshi came to his senses, he was 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 oblivious and frowned, saying, "If working overtime is seriously affecting your health, I suggest you resign and find a new job."
Jiang Yuanshi: "I have already resigned."
Man: "So you're so upset because of the layoffs?"
Jiang Yuanshi: "...No, I took the initiative."
Man: "It seems like you work so hard at 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., right?"
"You can travel, stay at home, play games, go shopping, and so on. Why would you want to commit suicide?"
The other party successfully repeated his question and asked it back. Jiang Yuanshi felt sleepy as soon as his head touched the pillow. In addition, he only got less than 6 hours of sleep a day because he had to leave work at 9 o'clock every morning. But there was someone he had never met here. He tried his best to answer: "Because it's boring to me. I've done it all. There's nothing for me to worry about."
"So that's how it is. Perhaps you'll have something to do soon." The other person's voice was deep and clear, and Jiang Yuan, who was sleepy, couldn't hear it clearly. 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 view. Only a tiny ray of light could seep in, and a soft pat was heard through the quilt. "You should go to bed. See you tomorrow."
"I haven't...yet told you my name? Since you took my ID, you must know my name. What's your name?"
"...My name is Jiang Zhi, which means send to."
Jiang Yuanshi was conscious and murmured softly before falling asleep: "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 hadn't expected it to still be on after a night, and it hadn't been muted. Jiang Yuanshi sat up abruptly, brushed the hair off his forehead with one hand, and tangled his fingers in his messy hair. With the other hand, he impatiently answered the phone: "Hello."
"Hello, hello! It's me! Your temporary replacement. You must be sleeping soundly right now. You look like you just got up and didn't even check who was calling."
"Oh, it's you. What's up, Mr. Chen? If nothing else, I'm hanging up."
Jiang Yuanshi looked around sleepily, and sure enough, no one was there. He "tsk", and the person on the other end of the phone said: "No, did you hear that? It's urgent, and you're still tsk, ...
"Sorry, I didn't hear you clearly. What happened?"
"..." The person on the other end of the phone visibly choked, but finally compromised and replied, "The company's new game just released has a competitor!"
Jiang Yuanshi said as if it was normal: "Games are inherently very similar. When a new game comes out, similar games will follow. Isn't that normal? Just continue to update according to the process."
"That's the problem. A small company that popped up out of nowhere just released a game last night, as if it were free. They bought hype overnight to attract players. They gave away hundreds of draws just for registering, and a set of gifts for logging in. Their game's content conflicts with what we're updating today!"
Jiang Yuanshi: "The content is the same?"
"Yeah, if the mechanics were the same, that would be common, but it's the updated content, the built-in mini-games, the updated interactions, even the hidden NPC attributes in the shop are similar."
"Leaked?"
"It's hard to say for sure. We're checking, but how could it possibly be that complete? Their mechanics and content are even more complete. They released a VR version right after the launch, which is like burning money. Maybe it will fizzle out quickly in the future, but the problem right now is that we launched later than them. Once we release it now, we'll definitely be caught up in another plagiarism scandal. It's so annoying."
Jiang Yuanshi frowned. "Of course it has to be released. After all, it's not plagiarized. Show us the production process and evidence, and prepare the PR. 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, forget it. They were so arrogant."
Jiang Yuanshi rubbed his forehead, and inexplicably thought of the man from last night. What was his name, Jiang Zi?
"Pack up quickly!"
"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 in 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 fate allows, Jiang Zhi (the meaning of sending to)"
Jiang Yuanshi: "..."
He said "childish" silently, folded the note in half and put it back in his breast pocket, then got up, packed up and went to the company.
He called and said, "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 again: "My name is Jiang Zhi, Zhi as in 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. Let me state in advance that my encounter with you was purely accidental. I haven't 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 speechless after being predicted, held his forehead and said, "Didn't we agree that the two companies would meet? Your company doesn't plan to communicate purely by voice, right?"
"Oh, okay, I'm already downstairs at your company, but I don't have an appointment. Can you let me in? Your security downstairs is very responsible and strictly guards the building."
Just then, the phone in Jiang Yuanshi's office rang. His secretary said, "Mr. Jiang, there's a guy named Jiang Zhi downstairs looking for you. He says he's from the ** game company and wants to discuss something. Do you want to let him in?"
Jiang Yuanshi said weakly, "Let go."
Jiang Yuanshi was still on his phone and was about to hang up when he heard the other end say, "Mr. Jiang, can I take your exclusive elevator for the CEO? The staff elevator is still on the 20th floor and it's a bit 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 showed up. The man was tall and long-legged, 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, and extended his hand to introduce himself: "Hello, Mr. Jiang, I'm Jiang Zhi, the Zhi who sends you."
Mr. Jiang smiled politely and said, "Hello, Jiang Yuanshi. What a coincidence, we all have the last name Jiang."
Jiang Yuanshi's partner behind him whispered, "Well, now that President Jiang has another male model, are the requirements for game company founders that high now?"
Jiang Yuanshi didn't bother to pay attention to the other party. He just asked politely, "Are you here alone?"
Jiang Zhi: "Yes, I am enough alone."
"..." Although the other party spoke sincerely, he inexplicably deserved a beating. Just as Jiang Yuanshi smiled and tried to be more polite, the other party replied as if he could read his 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: "Just you? You made that game by yourself? You also designed the art and background music?"
The other party nodded: "Yes, it was all me. I brought my computer and USB drive to prove it."
Jiang Yuanshi didn't want this, so he asked directly: "How long did it take you?"
Jiang Zhi hesitated for a moment and replied, "...one year."
Jiang Yuanshi looked a little unbelievable. Jiang Zhi said with some confusion, "Sorry, am I too slow?"
...Is this slow? Jiang Yuanshi was also an independent game maker before. It took him more than two years from planning to completion to complete a game. This person only took one year to perfect it?
If this is true...
In the meeting room, the other party generously demonstrated their production process and experience and achievements. Jiang Yuanshi's first words after reading them were: "Hello, are you considering a career change? What do you think of our company?"
Others:?
Jiang Zhi: "If you are the boss."
Jiang Yuanshi: "Sure. When you become stronger, you want to be the boss... Well, you have to talk to Mr. Chen first."
Jiang Yuanshi’s employees and Mr. Chen:?
However, Jiang Zhi refused after hearing this: "I'm sorry, but I have no intention of becoming your boss. I have already registered my own company, and I have to wait for the money I spend to be recouped."
Jiang Yuanshi got carried away 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 couldn'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 unable to let go. The games released by his own company would collide with those of Jiang Zhi's company from time to time. It turned out to be a coincidence. Even the netizens who 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 rival.
Jiang Yuanshi had to start working again.
One day the negotiations ended.
Jiang Yuanshi stood up and shook hands with the rival company, smiling politely but with a hidden dagger in his smile, he said, "It's a pleasure to work with you, President Jiang."
The man with dark red eyes politely replied, "It's a pleasure to work with you, Mr. Jiang."
The rival companies cooperated, and the employees couldn't help but sweat when they saw the two CEOs seemed harmonious but were actually in conflict with each other.
I hope it will be really enjoyable.
In the CEO elevator, the two CEOs Jiang stood side by side. Jiang Yuanshi sighed heavily: "Why are you here?"
"Because the staff elevator is full."
"Then you won't wait for the next one?"
"Is this your company's way of treating 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'm working overtime every day 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 you went to the beach for a break, you fell into the sea while you were resting."
"Yes, thanks to a kind soul 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 already compensated you."
Jiang Yuanshi glanced at him 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 you think I have no shame? You didn't agree and you didn't let me down." Jiang Yuanshi laughed angrily, "You are worse than my puppy. We have the same color eyes, but we are different dogs."
Jiang Zhi, who was scolded, was not angry at all. Instead, he calmly replied, "Woof."
