Urban Soldier Young Master

Chapter 883 - 882: Are You on a Diet?

Looking at the portable hard drive Mu Xiaoting had placed on the table, Chu Ge was slightly taken aback and suspiciously raised his head, "What does this mean?"Mu Xiaoting smiled faintly, glancing at the hard drive she had put on the table, "Find a computer, plug in this hard drive, and you'll know what's inside, won't you?"

If she were applying to another company, Mu Xiaoting would surely say such a thing with a proud smile, throwing it out nonchalantly. But her current demeanor was relatively modest, and at least from the surface, her words didn't sound aggressive.

Of course, Mu Xiaoting's modesty was only on the surface, nothing more.

After all, she truly had substantial knowledge and skill, and she had absolute confidence in the contents of her hard drive.

"Mr. Interviewer, it's like this. I myself am also a game enthusiast and have attempted to create some games in the past. This hard drive contains some of my past works, and I believe some of the small games here provide reference value for my abilities in this field."

Oh wow! Chu Ge was completely taken aback. Just looking at Mu Xiaoting's confident expression, there's no need to guess that this hard drive must contain her proudest creations.

Chu Ge was puzzled. Why would someone like Mu Xiaoting, a young lady of privilege, get so involved with games in her spare time? Did she really create the games on this hard drive herself?

"By the way, the few games I made have never been released, they're purely works of personal interest. If your company finds them acceptable, I wouldn't mind transferring their ownership to your company. Even though these games are currently for PC, I have no doubt that, with your company's capabilities, transitioning them to the mobile platform wouldn't be difficult at all."

At this point, Chu Ge was already overwhelmed, while Xu Zhen's eyes gleamed, eager to see what was inside that hard drive.

Soon, the recorder brought out a laptop and connected the hard drive.

When Chu Ge saw the contents, he knew there was no way he could dismiss Mu Xiaoting because of a lack of ability.

After Xu Zhen reviewed some of the game design processes and other related folders, and tested a game similar to "The Legend of Zelda" and another one resembling "Prince of Persia," excitement couldn't even begin to describe his expression.

Tap tap tap...

Xu Zhen had already cleared two levels and showed no signs of stopping, still playing, with his fingers constantly hitting the keyboard, echoing in the interview room.

Chu Ge side-eyed Xu Zhen, and his lip twitched helplessly. This guy seems to have forgotten it's an interview and got addicted to playing?

"Ahem!" Chu Ge cleared his throat twice and tapped his fingers on the table next to the computer, finally bringing Xu Zhen back to his senses. Red-faced and embarrassed, Xu Zhen reluctantly quit the game, muttering to himself about how to get past the third level.

"Miss Mu Xiaoting, if you're willing, I formally welcome you to become a member of Tianqing Games. We can sign the employment contract right now."

Taking a deep breath, Xu Zhen calmed his excitement. Even so, his face was still full of a "found a treasure" expression, eagerly inviting even before discussing compensation.

Talent like this is worth keeping at any cost!

Even though Xu Zhen had already stood up, Mu Xiaoting remained calmly seated, smiling with her eyes looking at the somewhat odd-faced Chu Ge, as if saying, "Hey, aren't you going to express your opinion?"

Noticing the hidden pride in Mu Xiaoting's expression, Chu Ge discreetly rolled his eyes and tapped his fingers on the table, "Miss Mu, if the games on this hard drive are indeed your creations, then you have indeed proven your ability."

Mu Xiaoting's expression remained unchanged. She had no doubt Chu Ge would continue to throw cold water. If she guessed correctly, Chu Ge was going to say "but" next.

Indeed, that was the case. Chu Ge paused for two seconds and continued, "However, if you'll forgive my bluntness, why would someone with Miss Mu's talent choose Tianqing Company, which has just started and achieved a little success? Aren't you worried that our company's stage is too small, and it might bury your talents, hindering you from achieving greater success?"

Mu Xiaoting smiled slightly, "First of all, I'm genuinely grateful for you considering my situation, but perhaps everyone's definition of achievement is different. For me, rather than walking under the protection of the strong, I prefer to accompany and grow with a future strong. That's the achievement I want."

Chu Ge was still unwilling to give up and asked further, "Then Miss Mu, what are your requirements in terms of salary?"

Mu Xiaoting smiled even more brightly and shook her head, "I don't have any specific requirements. Whatever the company thinks my capabilities are worth is fine. I'm confident your company won't disappoint me, right?"

Chu Ge's eye twitched slightly. What a clever defensive strategy. He finally had no reason to send Mu Xiaoting away. Sighing secretly, he stood up from behind the table and extended his hand to Mu Xiaoting, "I hope... we can have a pleasant cooperation."

Mu Xiaoting finally stood up as well and shook Chu Ge's right hand, "I believe that's a certainty."

"Are you sure? It's good enough if you don't cause trouble for me. What the hell are you sure about! Does your dad know you're working here?"

Of course, given the situation, these words were only mumbled in Chu Ge's heart. He forced a smile at Mu Xiaoting, leaving the follow-up to the extremely excited Xu Zhen, and left the interview room, returning to his human resources manager's office.

After sitting alone in his office thinking about Mu Xiaoting for a while, Chu Ge still felt he must find a way to get rid of her. No matter her intentions in coming here, or whether Mu Chongyi knew about this, she was trouble in the end.

After sitting in the office for about ten minutes, Chu Ge went out for a walk. He first went to the logistics department to see Xia Feifei and Mo Xiaoran. Given that Xia Feifei had seen him earlier, it wouldn't make sense not to visit them.

To his delight, Mo Xiaoran seemed less shy now. She talked to him more openly and could joke around a bit, eliminating any awkward atmosphere between them.

Next, Chu Ge went to his president's office, which had a code lock, so no key was needed.

Returning to this long-lost room, Chu Ge sat in the extremely comfortable chair, touched his nose with his hand, feeling somewhat helpless and amused at the thought. How about... having Mu Xiaoting as his assistant?

If Mu Xiaoting served him tea, cleaned the room, and ran errands every day, she might not be able to stand it and quit within days, right?

Thinking of this, Chu Ge slightly shook his head. It was just a thought. If it were put into practice, it might be exactly what Mu Xiaoting wanted.

On his way upstairs, Chu Ge called Tong Yaqi. He hadn't been in the president's office for two minutes before hearing a knock at the door, and in came the long-unseen Tong Yaqi.

Tong Yaqi was wearing a Euro-American style fitted dress, with a black and gold decorative belt at the waist. As Qin Ruojing said, Tong Yaqi indeed looked thinner. Even though she had work makeup on her face, Chu Ge could see that her complexion didn't look very good.

Chu Ge had seen Tong Yaqi wear this dress before. It used to be a bit tight, and he had even teased her about it before.

Chu Ge remembered teasing Tong Yaqi that she had lost weight, and she happily asked him where she'd lost it. He chuckled and replied, "The dress lost weight."

It wasn't long ago, and now the dress on Tong Yaqi didn't look tight at all.

"President Chu, long time no see." Tong Yaqi greeted him with a smile upon entering, but the smile held a touch of reluctance and resentment, which made Chu Ge feel a little heartache.

"It hasn't been that long, has it?" Chu Ge scratched his head, grinning, "By the way, you wouldn't be slimming down just to wear this dress, would you?"

Hearing this, Tong Yaqi rolled her eyes at Chu Ge, "President Chu has quite the eye. Looks like my dieting wasn't in vain, huh?"

Chu Ge gave her a thumbs-up, earnestly nodding.

"Absolutely, without a doubt. I've never seen anyone lose weight as well as you. You deserve a praise!"

Tong Yaqi tried to keep a straight face but couldn't help bursting into laughter, mixed with pretend anger and amusement. She sighed, "You're just impossible to deal with. You make it sound so convincing."

"What do you mean make it sound convincing? I'm telling the truth. I'm straightforward, and you know it."

"Right, you're straightforward, the most straightforward."

"Exactly."

Tong Yaqi, speechless, sarcastically remarked. Seeing Chu Ge reply so matter-of-factly, she felt both annoyed and amused, yet didn't argue further.

In just a few words, the tension that hung between them when she first entered the room dissipated.

Tong Yaqi sat on the sofa, looking up with a smile, "I say, President Chu, your rare visit today wasn't just to tease me, was it? Any orders? Just tell me."

"Alright, stop teasing me. What's with the orders? If you talk like that, it won't be fun anymore. Can't I just come by to see the company and chat with you?"

Tong Yaqi burst into laughter again, with a face full of disbelief, "Oh?"
