You said you would make games by yourself, but how did you become the richest man by doing nothing?

However, neither of them thought much about the other's slip of the tongue, attributing it to the enthusiasm of seeing each other after more than a year.

"Why are you here by yourself?"

In Lu Yu's memory, her female bodyguards in black were always inseparable from her at school.

"I had a fight with my mom, so I'm kind of running away from home now."

Liu Mengyuan tucked her long hair behind her ear, a shy blush appearing on her fair, oval face.

Now that she was reborn, she definitely couldn't obey Liu Lan anymore, or nothing would change.

Initially, she escaped from the apartment window, shaking off the surveillance.

Unexpectedly, those valiant female bodyguards were already waiting for her at the entrance of the residential area, obediently bringing her back.

Failing to escape, Liu Mengyuan simply cried, made a scene, and threatened to hang herself, directly forcing Liu Lan to yield.

Liu Lan couldn't stand her daughter's antics, so she stubbornly ignored her, letting her pack her luggage and move back to the university dormitory.

Lu Yu's gaze lowered, noticing the several snags in the pantyhose of her shapely black silk legs, likely caused when climbing out of the window.

Afterward, the two strolled around the playground, chatting about the interesting things that happened in the game research club and the development process of 'The Way of the Cat'.

"Do you remember our club president, who was giving a presentation to the school leaders, and his computer wallpaper was an NSFW image of Chocola and Vanilla?"

"Hahaha, I remember, it was a public execution..."

The more they talked, the happier they became, almost forgetting the passage of time.

[Chatting with a beautiful girl you've admired for years, feeling happy, Leisure Points +5]

The two chatted for a full two hours, and both felt a little reluctant when they finally parted.

Lu Yu hesitated slightly and said:

"I recently... started a game company. Are you interested in working there?"

"Eh?"

Liu Mengyuan was a little surprised, her bright eyes sparkling with a hint of excitement.

Lu Yu had his own reasons for inviting her.

The two had collaborated in the game research club and had some tacit understanding.

Moreover, she was the only oddball on campus who didn't go to the library to study, leisurely painting here early in the morning, which meant she wasn't a try-hard, so he didn't have to worry about her deducting his Leisure Points.

What's more, having a cute girl in the studio would be enough to make people feel happy.

Feeling happy would earn Leisure Points, so it was basically like getting paid to have her sit there. What reason was there not to hire her?

Of course, none of these were the most important reasons.

The most important reason was that he wanted to!

He didn't want to repeat the regrets of his previous life. So what if she was the daughter of the Liu Group?

Lu Yu directly went for it this time.

"Okay, okay," she said, her eyebrows curving, breaking into a smile.

Her quick response caught Lu Yu off guard.

Wait, aren't you going to hesitate at all? Aren't you going to inherit your family's wealth?

Liu Mengyuan also had her own little thoughts.

In her memory, Lu Yu was a well-known try-hard at Jianghai University, not only ranking at the top of his class and winning scholarships every year, but also being a student union cadre, and even participating in various competitions.

Under his influence, their entire dormitory and even their entire class became try-hards.

Joining his company would definitely mean being busy every day, wouldn't that mean earning Proficiency Points like crazy?

She had even begun to imagine the scene of showing off her artistic talent and feeling proud in front of her mother and the group's directors in the near future.

Moreover, if Lu Yu was the producer, wouldn't the game he made be guaranteed to sell?

Of course, none of these were the most important reasons. The most important reason was that she wanted to!

Before, when Liu Mengyuan was in the game research club, she always felt insecure when she was with Lu Yu.

Apart from the family halo, she felt that she had no shining points.

She didn't want to repeat the regrets of her previous life. She would prove to Lu Yu that she wasn't a useless girl!

So, Liu Mengyuan also went for it this time.

The two agreed to print the contract today and officially sign it tomorrow.

...

When Lu Yu returned to the dormitory in the evening, he found that Chu Xiong and the other two buddies were like lost souls.

The fatty was holding a stainless steel lunch box, constantly shoveling the braised potatoes, eggplants, and green peppers with rice he brought back from the cafeteria.

"Brother Lu, you didn't see the seat-grabbing battle in the library today. It was so exciting, several groups of people even started fighting. Sigh, we almost died trying to grab a seat..."

"Then you guys keep it up, I won't join in."

Lu Yu took out a few cans of iced black tea from the shopping bag and threw one to each of them.

Chu Xiong suddenly stopped shoveling rice, his big nostrils twitching a few times.

"Where's that perfume smell coming from?"

The only one in the dormitory with a girlfriend, the third oldest, appraised:

"Chanel's top-tier special perfume, at least more high-end than what my girlfriend uses."

Lu Yu smelled his sleeve, it seemed he had picked it up while chatting during the day.

"Brother Lu, who is it?" Chu Fatty's grape-like small eyes sparkled with shrewdness.

"Hey, don't think too much, just a normal friend, we made games together before."

The other three knew that Lu Yu had won an award, and immediately came to their senses:

"Damn! Could it be Liu Mengyuan? The rich and beautiful girl from the Liu Group?!"

"That's not right, the Liu Group's people protect her so well. Usually at school, not to mention men, even male cockroaches would be trampled to death by those sisters if they got close."

Lu Yu spread his hands: "So, it was just a chance encounter, and then we chatted for a few hours."

"What, it's hard to even catch a glimpse of her normally, and you chatted for a few hours?"

The buddy on the bed pretended to have angina, rolling all over the bed.

"I'm reporting you, brother. You didn't do anything wrong, it's all my disgusting jealousy and humble self-esteem. The smell of perfume on you completely broke my defense..."

"Alright, alright, even iced black tea can't shut your mouths."

Lu Yu's tone was understated, but he was secretly pleased in his heart.

[Showing off in front of roommates, feeling happy, gaining Leisure Points +2]

Another small profit of 200 yuan, so satisfying.

After dinner, Chu Xiong opened his laptop and started brushing LeetCode, preparing for the campus recruitment of major internet companies.

Lu Yu looked down at his resume and tripartite agreement on his desk.

Next is the spring campus recruitment, and Tenghui Interactive Entertainment will come to Jianghai University to hold a presentation.

In 2012, Tenghui Company had developed into the internet company with the highest market value in China, and was known as one of the BAT.

In his previous life, Lu Yu joined the Dimei Studio Group through this recruitment, started his game production career, and witnessed Tenghui's acquisition of American Hammerhead Company, catching up with the MOBA and chicken-eating craze, earning a lot of money.

Tenghui Company is a good place to go for many graduates, and the competition is fierce, so the campus recruitment process is also quite complicated—

Resume screening, written test, group interview (leaderless group discussion), business first interview, business second interview, team leader interview, director interview, HR interview...

It's just like climbing a tower in a game.

Especially the leaderless group discussion, Lu Yu had faced it once, and vowed never to participate in this kind of interview again.

Because he felt that this kind of elimination game was very awkward.

Clearly, the purpose of each participant is to eliminate others as much as possible with rhetoric, but they still have to pretend that everyone is a team and show enthusiasm for unity and cooperation.

This made him once suspect that this kind of interview was not screening for truly down-to-earth people, but for slick and worldly-wise people.

Forget it, these have nothing to do with me anymore.

Working is out of the question, it's impossible to work in this life, isn't lying down to win great?

Lu Yu casually threw the resume into the drawer.

...

The next day, Lu Yu and Liu Mengyuan officially signed the labor contract.

At the moment of signing the contract, a system light screen popped up in front of Lu Yu:

[Congratulations on completing the probationary task, recruiting the first employee, the system is successfully bound.]

[New system function enabled: If the company's employees feel physically and mentally happy, they will also earn Leisure Points for the host, with an initial rebate ratio of 10%.]

[Settlement is about to begin, the current Leisure Points are 12 points, being exchanged...]

[1200 yuan has been credited to your personal account.]

Good heavens, earning a thousand yuan in one day and one night?

In this era of 2012, it's not easy to find a job with a daily salary of over 1,000 yuan.

Even if you join Tenghui Company, it's difficult to get this amount in the first year with a low job level.

And I just run, flirt with girls, and chat with my buddies, living such a leisurely life, and I earned it?

Don't be too awesome!

Lu Yu was happily calculating more ways to earn Leisure Points, while Liu Mengyuan also received a prompt:

[Congratulations on completing the probationary task, the system is successfully bound.]

[Dream Fulfillment Mall opened.]

[New system function enabled: Other employees of the company can also gain Proficiency Points and improve their skills by practicing skills.]

[Your current Proficiency Points are: 10 points]

Liu Mengyuan opened the Dream Fulfillment Mall, and the talent scrolls inside were dazzling, but her Proficiency Points couldn't afford these things now.

However, she noticed a detail that the products in the mall had changed from the previous preview.

[The products in this system mall will change according to the host's skill practice direction. For example, if the host's Proficiency Points are concentrated in the direction of singing, then the mall will refresh more talent scrolls related to singing.]

It seems that how to accumulate these Proficiency Points also needs to be carefully planned, otherwise the mall will be a mess.

Fortunately, Lu Yu is a try-hard and a scholar. Working in this company should be all about serious work-related things, right?

The girl comforted herself in her heart.

Now, the contract gives Liu Mengyuan a salary of 4,000 yuan per month, but she still thinks it's a lot.

Because this 4,000 yuan is simply a godsend.

Liu Lan's original words were that since she ran away from home, she had to do it completely, and immediately froze all of Liu Mengyuan's pocket money.

So, this daughter of a global Fortune 500 company is now penniless, and not as rich as Lu Yu.

After signing the contract, the two shook hands amicably.

"Let's lie down together!"

Lu Yu's eyes were burning, thinking to himself.

"Let's work hard together, Fighting!"

Liu Mengyuan's eyes lit up, thinking to herself.

...

Back in the dormitory in the evening, Lu Yu checked the system account and planned the company's business direction.

[Currently, the initial operating capital of Taoyuan Township Company is 10,000 yuan]

[The next settlement cycle is: 14 days later]

[Additional task: Release the first game produced by Taoyuan Township Company before the cycle settlement.]

[Task reward: Random surprise effect]
