The next day, of course, both of them were late.
Xiang Han dozed off for the whole morning and woke up groggily in the afternoon. He realized that Sun Shuya had come in and was discussing something with Lu Ze.
He got up instinctively and walked out unsteadily to make room for the two of them.
Lu Ze looked up at him and frowned, "Where are you going?"
"Washroom." Xiang Han yawned, his voice soft.
Lu Ze's mouth twitched. Although it was a normal physiological need, why did he feel that as long as Sun Shuya was there, Xiang Han's needs would be especially frequent?
Xiang Han also complained after entering the washroom, "Xiao Jiu, I've been trying to matchmake them every day. Why is there no progress between Lu Ze and the main character?"
"This … Maybe there's not enough time?" The System was also confused.
"Not enough?"
Xiang Han said exaggeratedly, "I've tried my best to squeeze time for them to get along. Every time Sun Shuya appears, I either get off work early or go to the washroom.
Let me tell you, whenever I see him, I can't help but feel the urge to pee. It's become a conditioned reflex.
If this goes on, there'll be problems. "
"… Mr. Xiang, what I mean is … In the original plot, the target would only fall for the main character after the company's crisis. It hasn't reached that point yet, so there might be no progress between the two of them." If the System had a body, it would be sweating profusely.
"Oh, so that's what you mean." Xiang Han was a little embarrassed. He scratched his head and said, "But that'll have to wait for twenty days, right?"
Tensei was a small company that had been established for less than a year. It wasn't famous, and the games it made could barely cover its costs.
If it was unlucky, it could even lose money.
In order to make a name for itself, Lu Ze bought the rights to adapt a famous online novel, "Infinite Worlds".
This game had been in beta testing two months ago, but Lu Ze wasn't satisfied. Later on, there was a big change, and the problem came from this change.
Lu Ze had a half-brother named Lu Hai, who was the son of his father's mistress.
The illegitimate child was older than the legitimate child. After this was exposed, Lu Ze's mother was quite furious. In her daze, she accidentally got into a car accident.
Less than half a year after Mama Lu's death, Papa Lu married his mistress, Zhao Yunzhi, and Lu Hai followed suit.
After Lu Hai and his mother schemed to force Lu Ze out of the Lu family, they were still worried and bribed Tensei, a programmer, to implant a Trojan horse in the upcoming open beta program of Myriad Worlds.
Less than ten days into Infinite Worlds' open beta, it was suddenly attacked by hackers. The defense system could not be activated, and a large number of players were offline. Many of the items that people had spent money on were also gone. Many people were cursing and boycotting the game on the official forum.
Lu Ze was so busy that he didn't rest or sleep for a week before solving part of the problem.
However, it was all too late. Because of the momentum of Myriad Worlds' movie release, most of the players were fans of books and movies. They weren't here for the game itself. After playing for a few days, not only were they disconnected, but the items they bought were also gone. It was good enough that they weren't cursing, how could they continue to support the game?
The original author also expressed his disappointment on Weibo, and the fans boycotted the game.
However, Lu Ze had spent a lot of effort on this project. Every scene in the game was very strict. It was done according to the standards of large-scale 3D online games, and almost all of the company's capital was invested in this project.
Moreover, because the copyright was bought from Deep Tech, Deep Tech had invested in it as well. After such a major problem occurred, the other party immediately withdrew their investment and asked for compensation.
Once the capital chain was broken, the game could no longer operate, and the bank loans could not be repaid.
In a situation where there was no way out, Lu Ze finally sold the game and struggled to keep the company running. It was only a year later that they gradually walked out of the abyss.
Speaking of which, Lu Ze was too anxious. He wanted to catch up with the movie's promotion, so he didn't notice the problem in time.
"Do we really have to do this again?" Xiang Han sympathized with Lu Ze.
The System said slowly, "If we don't do it again, how can the target be tempted by the main character?
Moreover, it was because of this lesson that he became more careful in the future, and was able to make Tensei bigger. "
"That's true." The director made sense, but Xiang Han still felt a little depressed.
Speaking of which, other than being stingy and not allowing him to eat random things, Lu Ze was still good to him.
He felt a little melancholy to have to watch the other party suffer. Sigh.
After Lu Ze finished reading the closed beta summary, he nodded and said, "That's it for now. I'll go meet the author of Myriad Worlds in the afternoon. We'll talk about the open beta in a few days."
"Okay."
Sun Shuya knew that Lu Ze still wanted to make changes, and he also knew that during this change, the program was tampered with.
But he didn't want to remind him, because only if everything developed like in the previous life would he and Lu Ze have a chance.
When he returned to his seat, the investigation report on Zhao Handong happened to be sent to his mailbox. After reading it once, Sun Shuya quickly destroyed it.
Zhao Handong had not been doing well recently. First, he was kicked by Xiang Han, and sometimes he couldn't stand up, so he had to stay in the hospital for a few days.
After he finally recovered, the company's computer was maliciously attacked by hackers, and the employees couldn't work normally for a week. He was so angry that he scolded the technicians, and personally went to invite a few experts.
After a series of events, he had completely forgotten about the matter of dealing with Xiang Han.
This incident didn't happen in the previous life. Who would be so bored as to attack Zhao Handong's company?
Sun Shuya quickly thought of Lu Ze. With how much he cared about Xiang Han, it was reasonable for him to teach Zhao Handong a lesson.
Sun Shuya worked with Lu Ze for many years in the previous life, so he had some understanding of his attack methods.
Thinking that the problem with Zhao Handong's side had not been completely solved, he suddenly had a plan.
Xiang Han waited in the bathroom for a few seconds. Seeing that it was almost time to get off work, he propped himself up with his numb legs and muttered to the System: "If this goes on, I'll get hemorrhoids one day."
When he returned to the office, he saw that Sun Shuya wasn't there. He happily packed up and prepared to get off work, while asking Lu Ze: "How was the chat?"
Lu Ze shook his head and said: "It didn't go well."
"Ah?
You're not satisfied with him? "Xiang Han was surprised. Didn't the information say that the target had a good impression of the main character before she fell in love with him?
Lu Ze didn't answer. He pondered for a while and suddenly said: "You came back just in time. Come with me to meet the 'Husky of Dogs'."
"Huh?" They were talking about the main character, why were they going to meet a dog?
The target's thoughts were too jumpy and he couldn't keep up.
Lu Ze thought that he didn't understand and explained: "He's the author of 'Infinite Worlds'. 'Husky of Dogs' is his pen name."
Xiang Han: "…" So they weren't talking about the main character?
But when they talked about the main character, he remembered the matchmaking mission and quickly shook his head: "I'm not going."
"Why?" Lu Ze packed up and said: "It's almost time to get off work, so it's on the way."
He just came back from the bathroom and couldn't use the bathroom to escape.
Xiang Han thought for a while and said weakly: "My stomach doesn't feel well, so I want to go back and rest.
You should call someone else. That … Sun Shuya is quite suitable. "
Lu Ze knew that he was faking it. He walked over and dragged him out by the collar: "Sun Shuya has something to do, so she probably left."
"Stop, stop, stop, I can walk by myself." Xiang Han struggled to turn around.
When he got into the car, he still had a look of dissatisfaction.
There were still many people in the company who hadn't gotten off work yet. His image was ruined.
Lu Ze helped him fasten his seat belt and rubbed his head. He said gently: "The author is treating. I heard that he's also a gourmet."
