While Wei Wei was still sighing over the unfairness of life, He Li had already polished off two plates of small cakes. Yu Qingge, worried it wasn’t enough, was about to ask Wei Wei to bring more. Luckily, He Li stopped her, “No more. If I keep eating, I won’t be able to eat lunch later!”
Shaking his head, He Li switched the topic, “Although I can help write the storyline for the trending game, before that, I need to know what kind of world setting you’re going for. Once I understand the overall worldview and your basic requirements, I can tailor the plot accordingly. So, do you have a game concept ready? Even a general direction?”
“Not yet,” Yu Qingge replied helplessly, shaking her head. The trending project was only finalized in yesterday’s meeting, and the team hadn’t come up with a full concept yet. Even if they did, it might not be suitable. The final version would require careful consideration and approval from her to align with her expectations before actual implementation could begin. That process wouldn’t take just three to five days—more likely longer.
Frowning slightly, Yu Qingge said, “The people under me aren’t exactly the most efficient. I can’t force it. Today, I just wanted to let you know about this. Once the plan is finalized, we’ll talk script in detail.”
“Mm…” He Li nodded, deep in thought.
Noticing his expression, Yu Qingge couldn’t help asking, “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing,” He Li quickly snapped out of it, eyes darting away.
Yu Qingge grew more suspicious. Knowing He Li as well as she did, she could tell he definitely had something on his mind. Could it be… he already had a suitable plan? No way, the project was only approved yesterday… but wait, the trending game proposal had been based on his idea in the first place. If he understood the market that well, it’d make sense that he already had something in mind. He was probably just pretending to avoid doing extra work.
This guy…
Having seen through him, Yu Qingge leaned in close with a bright smile and whispered near his ear, “Be honest, don’t you already have a complete plan in mind?”
“I do not!” He Li’s eyelid twitched as he shook his head vigorously. “I’m not that capable, alright? I just gave you the idea—that’s already good enough. How could I possibly have a full concept? Don’t overestimate me!”
He maintained a calm front, denying everything.
But the more he denied it, the more Yu Qingge smiled. “If you don’t, then you don’t. Why the panic? Acting guilty?”
“Who’s acting guilty?” He Li retorted stubbornly.
Yu Qingge didn’t push. She gently hugged his arm and leaned softly into his chest, speaking in a tender voice, “Alright, alright. If you don’t have it, that’s fine. I’m not going to force you. But can you at least help me think about it?”
“I really want to move this project forward as soon as possible. That way, I can show some real results.”
“And I won’t make you help for free either. There’ll be benefits~” she added sweetly.
He Li kept a straight face, “Heh, do I look like someone who’d be swayed by a few little benefits—”
“I’ll give you paid leave and let you touch my leg,” Yu Qingge interrupted gently.
His eyes lit up instantly. “For real? Uh—I mean, CEO Yu?”
“Hehe!” Seeing his happy reaction, Yu Qingge beamed. “Of course it’s real. Seeing you happy makes me happy too.”
Her eyes were full of warmth, and her words made He Li feel a bit embarrassed. “Don’t say that. When you say stuff like that, I don’t even know how to respond.”
Yu Qingge pouted, “I’m just speaking my heart. What’s wrong with that?”
“Nothing wrong… it’s just…” He Li looked helpless. “You’re too gentle. I don’t feel like I deserve it.”
“For example, agree when I ask you to dinner. Don’t pull your arm away when I hold it in public. And when I want to come over and be with you, don’t always say no…”
Her requests were soft and humble.
The more He Li listened, the guiltier he felt.
“Alright, stop. I’ll agree to everything!” He cut her off quickly, unable to bear it anymore.
She didn’t get mad at the interruption—instead, her face lit up with joy. “You said it. You agreed to everything!”
“Yes, yes, yes, I agreed to everything.”
“Then… will you have lunch with me again today?”
“Sure, whatever you want to eat, I’ll join you.”
“And I want to be fed like yesterday!”
“Fine, I’ll feed you!”
“Then will you come get a marriage certificate and be my husband?”
“Sure… wait, no! That one needs to be considered seriously!”
…
Yu Qingge pouted. So close!
A few beads of sweat trickled down He Li’s forehead. Damn, she really almost tricked him into it! Fortunately, he caught himself just in time.
He let out a long sigh. He really couldn’t afford to let his guard down. Yu Qingge’s gentle offense was way too dangerous.
Watching the two flirt for so long and feeling increasingly sour, Wei Wei finally couldn’t hold back and interjected, “Um, CEO Yu, shouldn’t we let He Li share his proposal now?”
“Oh right, hehe, I totally forgot!” Yu Qingge stuck out her tongue.
That cute and mischievous look made Wei Wei go blank for a second.
Even Yu Qingge herself was stunned—she’d completely let her other side show in front of He Li. Realizing that, she grew a bit embarrassed.
Wei Wei quickly looked away, pretending she hadn’t seen anything.
He Li nearly burst out laughing at her reaction.
“You dare laugh at me? Meanie!” Yu Qingge pouted and scolded playfully.
Her cheeks were red and charming. He Li admired her for a moment, then finally composed himself and said, “I’ll go ahead and write out the full game concept and structure as a file while I explain. That way, you can share it with others. If they have any questions, it’ll be easier to clarify.”
“Oh, but don’t tell them it was from me!” He added, “If they know, they’ll just come bother me nonstop.” This chapter was taken from g.com without permission.
As he spoke, He Li began typing on Yu Qingge’s computer.
His fingers flew so fast across the keyboard they left afterimages. A clean, structured document filled with detailed plans, ideas, and even formatted tables and diagrams appeared rapidly on screen.
Wei Wei and Yu Qingge were both stunned.
“That… that fast? And no typos?”
“How is he even doing this?”
“He’s even formatting charts and tables as he types…”
“Isn’t this… a little too insane?”
“So this… this is his real ability?”
Staring at the screen flashing with rapid input, Yu Qingge and Wei Wei exchanged a look—both seeing the same shock in each other’s eyes.
This kind of typing and document design was completely out of their league.
Forget them—even in the entire Jiuli Group, there probably wasn’t another person who could compare to He Li.
No wonder he slacked off all day but still submitted his scripts on time.
Turns out, he didn’t just have great ideas and clear vision—he also had a ridiculously strong ability to work fast under pressure.
Yu Qingge did a quick mental calculation… With He Li’s speed, he could finish an entire month’s worth of work in just ten minutes a day.
Insane. Was he even human?
But then again, this was the man she had her eye on. No wonder he was a thousand times more outstanding than any other guy!
Staring at He Li’s face, Yu Qingge’s eyes sparkled with admiration.
Wei Wei’s eyelids twitched wildly. She suddenly understood why her super-rich and powerful goddess CEO would fall for someone who, on the surface, seemed so… ordinary.
“CEO Yu, you really do have an eye for talent!”
“Even with how well He Li hides it, you still discovered his potential. Before you, no one had any idea how amazing he was…” Wei Wei said softly, throwing in some flattery.
Yu Qingge beamed at the compliment. “You’re not bad either. You really know how to talk! Keep it up—I’ll raise your salary again.”
Wei Wei’s eyes lit up, “Thank you, CEO Yu~”
After that, she couldn’t help sneaking another glance at He Li. With him around, her salary had already been raised twice this month. If this continued, hitting a million a year might not be a dream!
Looks like she had to work hard and be the perfect wingwoman. If she helped CEO Yu lock this man down…
Hehe… hehehe…
