Chapter 25: Open and Aboveboard
Everyone had been classmates for four years, so those in the group were naturally not strangers, and thus they could probably understand some of the inside stories and conflicts.
In the class, there were two goddess-level figures, namely Ji Yuwei and Chen Yutong.
Unlike Ji Yuwei’s cold and aloof personality, Chen Yutong was enthusiastic and cheerful, generous, and actively participated in various activities, quickly gaining a considerable reputation. Coupled with her looks and figure, she won the hearts of many at school.
There were naturally male classmates who pursued her, including the wealthy Dongmen First Zhang Chu, and Qi Xuan, who was also from Jiang City.
Yes, Chen Yutong was also from Jiang City, but she graduated from Jiang City No. 2 High School, not Jiang City No. 1 High School, where Qi Xuan was. However, being from the same hometown made them seem naturally closer.
But what happened later became a bit dramatic. No matter how Qi Xuan pursued her, Chen Yutong always had an ambiguous attitude towards him, neither close nor distant, neither agreeing nor refusing, always stringing him along.
After being strung along like this for three years, Qi Xuan was tired and chose to give up, not pursuing her anymore, and letting her be.
Zhang Chu was overjoyed when he saw this, and increased his pursuit, but until now, they hadn’t been heard of getting together.
Even in the eyes of everyone, Chen Yutong seemed to be much more intimate with Qi Xuan than with Zhang Chu over the years, as if there was some kind of barrier between them.
But no matter what, Qi Xuan did give up on Chen Yutong, and later focused on developing games, and there were no more emotional entanglements.
Now that everyone was just talking about Qi Xuan, Chen Yutong suddenly appeared, so it was no wonder they were speechless for a moment.
“What, the atmosphere has cooled down as soon as I came out? Are you discussing some inappropriate game?”
Sweet Chrysanthemum chimed in:
“Haha, everyone is adults, what could be inappropriate? It’s just that you suddenly appeared and startled everyone. I didn’t expect our Goddess Chen to be browsing the group too.”
“You’re talking as if I have to sit on the toilet myself when I go to the toilet. Am I that detached from the world?”
“Haha, still so unreserved. Yutong, do your pursuers know you’re like this?”
“I’m afraid they wouldn’t dare to believe it even if they knew.”
“That means they don’t love you enough.”
……
In a few words, the atmosphere in the group was stirred up.
After a period of casual chatting, Dongmen First suddenly asked:
“Yutong, how’s the client I introduced to you last time?”
“It’s been taken care of, and I have to thank you for your help with this.”
“It’s nothing, what kind of relationship do we have that we need to say these things?”
Dongmen First said calmly:
“If you encounter any problems next time, you can come to me. Our family knows quite a few people in Modu.”
“Can you know more people than Goddess Ji’s family?”
Xue Cheng asked suddenly.
Zhang Chu was speechless.
Everyone knew that Ji Yuwei’s family background was extremely strong, and she was also Chen Yutong’s roommate in college, and their relationship was quite good.
Even without Zhang Chu’s help, with Ji Yuwei’s care alone, Chen Yutong’s work couldn’t possibly have any problems.
Seeing this, Chen Yutong quickly smoothed things over:
“Oh, everyone is classmates, I welcome anyone who helps, Chengzi, if I ask you for help one day, you must not refuse.”
“Heh, there are so many people helping you, it won’t be my turn.”
“What if?”
“If, I will ask Xuanzi, if he says he wants to help, then I will help, if he says no, then I can’t do anything.”
“Xue Cheng, what do you mean?” Zhang Chu questioned.
“What I mean has anything to do with you? Do you want me to come forward?”
“Make it clear!”
“Alright, simp.”
“Who are you calling a simp?!”
“If you don’t like that word, how about ‘cuck’?”
“Are you asking for a beating?”
“Heh, Xuanzi isn’t here, and you still dare to talk to me like this? Come, come, let’s see how tough your Modu second-generation bones are, can’t even be broken by a rural person?!”
The two argued constantly, and a group of people were pulling them apart.
……
Coffee shop.
In the seats in the back.
Chen Yutong looked at her phone, looking gloomy.
Ji Yuwei, sitting opposite, finished a sip of coffee and suddenly asked:
“Do you regret it?”
Chen Yutong came back to her senses and asked strangely:
“Regret what?”
“Nothing.”
Chen Yutong glanced at her phone and said helplessly:
“I’ve been working for so long, and they’re still acting like they haven’t grown up. They’re arguing so fiercely in the group, I’m really fed up with them.”
“Aren’t you going to mediate?”
“The core of the conflict is me, and for me to mediate is just adding fuel to the fire.”
She casually scrolled through the messages, and soon saw a series of screenshots posted by Sweet Chrysanthemum, and immediately laughed:
“It seems that the game they made is popular, and it’s sold nearly 300,000 copies in the blink of an eye. Vivi, do you want to download it and play it on your computer?”
“You know, I never play games.”
“Well then, I’ll download it myself later.”
Chen Yutong said helplessly:
“This game will definitely hit the trending searches later, and the number of players will also increase. If I don’t play it, let alone chatting with my classmates in the group, even if the colleagues in the company bring up the topic, I won’t be able to join in. That won’t do, it’s too embarrassing for me.”
“You just take your face too seriously,”
Ji Yuwei said lightly,
“If you had put your mind into it, you wouldn’t have fallen out with Qi Xuan in the first place.”
“What can I do? Isn’t a person’s life just for a face?
I did like Qi Xuan, but his conditions were indeed not good enough. If he had Zhang Chu’s conditions, we wouldn’t have parted ways.”
“But now that he has these conditions, do you think you can still get him back?”
Chen Yutong was silent.
Then she forced a smile:
“Don’t talk about me, what about you? You’ve been away from school for two years, have you seen any young and handsome men you like?”
Ji Yuwei stroked the coffee cup:
“You know, for a family like mine, this kind of thing is never up to me.”
Chen Yutong sighed when she heard this:
“It’s because I knew this that no one pursued you in class back then.”
……
After chatting for a while, Chen Yutong looked at her watch and said hurriedly:
“It’s time to go to work, I’ll go first, Vivi, you take your time, I’ve already paid the money, I’ll contact you later.”
Seeing her leave in a hurry, Ji Yuwei slowly drank the coffee in her cup, then slowly got up and left the coffee shop.
The driver took the initiative to open the car door for her.
Sitting in the spacious back seat of the Rolls-Royce, after the car started smoothly, she thought for a moment and took out a heavy gaming laptop she had bought not long ago.
Logging into the game platform, there was only one game in her personal game list, which was the one developed by Qi Xuan and others. The playing time had already reached 500 hours, all the achievements had been obtained, and she had even written a review with the maximum number of words and received countless likes.
Ji Yuwei clicked into the game page, and seeing the game sales still rising rapidly, she immediately felt very happy, and a rare smile appeared on her face.
At this time, huge light screens reappeared in the sky.
Ji Yuwei immediately shouted:
“Uncle Xu, stop, I want to watch the live stream!”
“You can watch this at home too.”
“No, I want to watch it now!”
“But, Master…”
“Now!”
The driver glanced at the stubborn look on Ji Yuwei’s face, which had never appeared before, and slowly stopped the car on the side of the road.
The car window glass went down.
The breeze gently brushed her hair.
Ji Yuwei leaned against the window, quietly watching the light screen in the sky.
After so many years of being classmates, is this the only time she can look at it openly?
