Since Tong Yaqi was so enthusiastic, Chu Ge naturally wouldn't dampen her spirits and cooperatively made a few guesses. However, all his guesses were denied by Tong Yaqi, and in the end, it was Tong Yaqi who revealed the answer to him.
It turned out that the mobile game previously launched by Tianqing Company had already hit the market, and the response was surprisingly good. Just today, it was recommended on the homepage of a major mobile gaming platform. If it continues to develop at this pace, it would be hard for this game not to become popular.
There's no denying that this was indeed great news. After all, this was Tianqing Company's first game, and achieving such results truly caught Chu Ge a bit by surprise.
After all, no matter how amazing the elements incorporated into this game are, Tianqing Company is still a new player in this industry, lacking maturity and definitely lacking reputation.
If this game can be a breakthrough success, it will certainly be beneficial for the future development of Tianqing Company.
As Tong Yaqi finished speaking with great excitement, Chu Ge naturally felt cheerful as well, his mouth curling into a broad smile.
Just like Qin Ruojing had said to He Qing before, don't be fooled by his seemingly laid-back attitude and lack of involvement. He has indeed invested quite a lot in Tianqing Company. Knowing that his efforts have borne fruit, how could he not feel joyful and a sense of accomplishment?
Moreover, this is the company that He Qing and He Junming asked him to help manage. Because of this friendship and trust, he certainly hopes for Tianqing Company to thrive.
"Chu Ge, why don't you go online later and check out that big feature on our game? I'm just so happy."
"Ha, sure." Chu Ge agreed readily, "I'll go take a look now, shall we hang up?"
"You're so annoying. You haven't contacted me for so long, and now you just want to hang up after discussing business. You're so heartless, don't you want to chat a little more?"
After Tong Yaqi's playful act, Chu Ge chuckled awkwardly, "That's not what I meant."
"Alright, I was joking. How could you take it seriously? Actually, I have a little business matter that needs President Chu's approval."
"Hey, you can handle company matters as you see fit. If I can't trust you, who can I trust?"
Hearing this, Tong Yaqi felt a warmth in her heart and laughed, "You joker, even if you say that, I still have to report, since you're my boss."
Chu Ge chuckled, "Alright, go ahead."
"This game was such a standout, and though it's thanks to President Chu's wise decision-making, it couldn't have been possible without the efforts of all our company's staff. So, this month, I would like to distribute some bonuses and, in the next couple of days, hold a celebration party, maybe a get-together to boost morale. What do you think?"
"No problem. Have you discussed this with Qin Ruojing?"
"Not yet. I called you first after getting the news, and I'll inform Xiaojing later."
"Then you don't need to call her. We're together now, I'll talk to her and see if she wants to attend the celebration party."
"Hmm? Okay then."
After hanging up, Tong Yaqi felt a slight twinge of jealousy. Chu Ge and Qin Ruojing seemed inseparable now.
However, she quickly laughed it off. From her perspective, what's there to be jealous about? No matter how she looked at it, she should be happy for them instead, right?
Chu Ge returned to the car, and Qin Ruojing had just finished her call with her mother, turned to look at Chu Ge, "Were you talking to Yaqi Jie?"
"Yeah, Tianqing Company's first mobile game got a big feature, and she wants to hold a celebration party. What do you think, as the chairwoman, are you interested in attending?"
Chu Ge said with a smile as he shifted his attention to his phone screen, finding the recommendation Tong Yaqi mentioned on a very well-known mobile gaming platform, prominently displayed on the homepage.
"'Super Ninja Soul,' hehe, how am I so talented? This name is fantastic."
"'Super' refers to 'Super Mario,' 'Ninja' refers to 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,' and 'Soul' refers to 'Contra.' By splitting and recombining the names of these classic nostalgic games, we get the today's 'Super Ninja Soul.'
Chu Ge, looking down at his phone, smiled smugly, not noticing Qin Ruojing's slight pause and the thoughtful expression that followed.
He boastfully made a comment, but without hearing Qin Ruojing's response, Chu Ge turned to look at her, a little puzzled, "Darling, what are you thinking about? Aren't you happy about Tianqing Company's achievement?"
"Huh?" Qin Ruojing snapped back to her senses and forced an unnatural smile, "Happy, of course, I'm happy."
"You're acting strange, aren't you? Is something going on?"
Chu Ge found Qin Ruojing's behavior even more unusual; a workaholic like her should be excited about such great news, yet she reacted so calmly? She didn't even glance at the big recommendation on his phone screen?
"Nothing's wrong, what could be wrong with me?" Qin Ruojing smiled lightly. After all, she was the chairman, and soon adjusted her emotions. "Just now you said that Yaqi is throwing a celebration party, right? I'll join, how about we set it for tonight?"
Chu Ge glanced a few more times at Qin Ruojing, feeling something was still off, but didn't ask much more, nodding with a smile, "Sure, for the two of us, it's like a double blessing. Why don't you give her a call?"
"You call her. I'll go get the car and head back to the company for a bit."
After saying this, Qin Ruojing entered the driver's seat, started the car, and drove towards Tianjiao Building, her mind entirely on the evening's matters.
Originally, she was troubled about the evening plans. Such things between a couple were only natural. Chu Ge had always been considerate of her hard work and had not approached her, but now, she really didn't have any excuse to avoid sleeping with Chu Ge.
And Tong Yaqi's celebration party was undoubtedly a timely rescue. As long as they played late enough or found a way to keep Chu Ge with Tong Yaqi, perhaps she could temporarily escape tonight.
Meanwhile, at Chen Jue's home, a guest arrived, Chen Yujie.
The Chen Family from Lidu had some kind of kinship and relationship with the Chen Family of the provincial capital. Strictly speaking, they were a side branch of the Chen Family in the provincial capital. But as Chen Jue's grandfather settled in Lidu, the connection with the Chen Family of the provincial capital gradually lessened.
Instead of saying the Chen Family from Lidu was a side branch of the provincial capital's Chen Family, it was more of its own distinct branch. Although they didn't fare as well as the others, they lived quite contentedly with their status as a big fish in a small pond.
However, during one of the scarce interactions, Chen Jue and Chen Yujie really hit it off. Chen Yujie was quite stubborn and usually didn't listen even to his father, Chen Zhihao, yet he held his cousin Chen Jue in high esteem.
Last time, when Chu Ge, Qin Ruojing, and Tong Yaqi went to the provincial capital for the boss class and put Chen Yujie in a tough spot, Chen Yujie called Chen Jue for insights on Chu Ge.
Since Chen Jue's opinion on Chu Ge was "mysterious," and Chen Yujie hadn't been beaten or embarrassed publicly, he thought it over and begrudgingly let go of his grudge.
These past few days, Chen Yujie felt a bit bored in the provincial capital. Upon hearing that Lidu's Long Tao had been 'taken care of,' he decided to visit Lidu, also to congratulate Chen Jue that from now on, no one could challenge him in Lidu, where he could now reign unchallenged.
Chen Jue picked up Chen Yujie from the airport, and they drove directly to Chen Jue's fishing pond. Chen Jue had already prepared fruit drinks, fishing gear, sun umbrellas, and, of course, women to entertain Chen Yujie.
Interestingly enough, despite Chen Yujie's impatience, he was influenced by Chen Jue and developed an interest in fishing, an activity requiring patience. Seeing the float move and catching a fish gave him a sense of accomplishment.
Yet, to Chen Jue's surprise, when they arrived at the fishing pond, Chen Yujie didn't relax as he usually did while fishing. After sitting on the fishing stool for barely two minutes, he lay on the deck chair under the sun umbrella, called over a woman to massage him, and started fiddling with his phone.
Chen Jue glanced back at Chen Yujie, finding it somewhat unexpected, yet reasonable. Someone as impatient as Chen Yujie losing interest in an activity many find dull seemed quite normal.
The only thing odd to Chen Jue was that Chen Yujie's visit implied their relationship was still good.
But, when Chen Yujie lay on the chair with his phone, he started ignoring him. Chen Jue would speak a few sentences, and Chen Yujie might not reply even once, and when he did, it was full of indifference and impatience.
What's going on? Have I done something to displease Chen Yujie?
"Damn it!"
While Chen Jue secretly pondered, he suddenly heard an angry shout from behind. He turned quickly to see Chen Yujie jumping up, slapping the woman massaging him, producing a loud "smack."
Chen Yujie wasn't satisfied, following with a kick to the woman who, terrified and hurt, held her face, not knowing what she did wrong.
"Yujie, what happened? Did she hurt you?"
Chen Jue stood up from the fishing stool, still maintaining a gentlemanly smile, sweeping his gaze over the woman lying on the ground. When her eyes met Chen Jue's, she felt a chill, as though she'd fallen into an icy abyss.
Chen Yujie glanced at her coldly, shook his head at Chen Jue, "No, it's that this bitch moved when she shouldn't have, making me lose."
Chen Jue was taken aback, "What?"
Chen Yujie pointed at his phone, "A game I'm playing."
Chen Jue glanced at the screen, "Super Ninja Soul"? All because of a mobile game? Really?
