Chapter 111: Chapter 111 Alone Together (Subscribe! Vote for monthly tickets!)

Yu Qiao Qiao couldn’t help but recall how she was initially duped by Chen Yan into joining the company.

She remembered that Chen Yan had said a game company needed someone skilled in clay sculpture.

Because games require modeling, and modeling is a big project, typically a modeler would first craft a model, then a modeling artist would build the model in the game.

So, she joined Chen Yan’s company happily, thinking that she could finally make money from her hobby!

And then...

She found out that Chen Yan’s first game was a live-action video detective game...

What a deceitful jerk!

However, since Chen Yan paid well and treated her nicely, although Yu Qiao Qiao felt cheated, she still stayed with the company.

Just like that, two months passed.

The matter of making clay dolls, Yu Qiao Qiao had already forgotten all about it.

But unexpectedly... Chen Yan still remembered.

For a moment, Yu Qiao Qiao felt a warmth in her heart. It was like how Chen Yan remembered she loved to eat "honey trifecta"...

Gradually, she felt as if something was slowly "gestating" in her heart, wanting to break free...

While Yu Qiao Qiao was daydreaming, Lu Man curiously watched "the stupefied" Yu Qiao Qiao, while continuing to stuff buns into her mouth.

After eating for a while and seeing Yu Qiao Qiao still hadn’t come to, Lu Man teasingly reached out and snatched a bun from Yu Qiao Qiao.

Yet Yu Qiao Qiao still didn’t react.

Lu Man grew curious.

Holding Yu Qiao Qiao’s bun, she waved it in front of Yu Qiao Qiao’s eyes, "Qiao Qiao? Qiao Qiao?"

"Ah?" Yu Qiao Qiao snapped back to reality.

Lu Man, while shoving Yu Qiao Qiao’s bun into her mouth, asked curiously, "What’s wrong with you? Why did you space out at the mention of a clay sculpture room?"

Upon hearing Lu Man’s question, Yu Qiao Qiao felt a bit flustered and shy; she tried her best to cover it up, "No, it’s nothing. I was just zoning out for a bit."

Speaking, she hurriedly changed the subject, "Right, Sister Man Man. How is your new company doing?"

Lu Man looked at Yu Qiao Qiao strangely, casually replying, "Pretty good. Not bad. Fine."

Then she opened her mouth, intending to steer the conversation back to the clay sculpture room.

But to her surprise, Yu Qiao Qiao quickly followed up with another question, "Then... does that mean your ban and freezing are no longer an issue?"

When the conversation turned to her own matters, Lu Man finally gathered her thoughts; after pondering for a moment, she said, "The freezing should be fine. As for the ban... it’s hard to say."

At that, the always carefree Lu Man shook her head and waved her hand, "But with Chen Yan’s financial support, I don’t believe he can completely shut me out!"

"Hmph! I will definitely forge a splendid path!"

Watching Lu Man enthusiastically "shouting" her pledge, Yu Qiao Qiao sighed with relief: thankfully she didn’t continue asking about the clay sculpture room. Otherwise, how would she explain...

After the two girls finished their buns, they returned to the office space and got busy again.

With Yu Qiao Qiao’s help, Lu Man’s work on her own company’s matters sped up significantly.

Before long, the two finished up and called it a day.

Looking at the design sketches filled with food, the girls felt a deep sense of accomplishment.

Lu Man was even more triumphant, snapping her fingers and declaring, "Done! Let’s go! I’m treating you to a big meal!"

Yu Qiao Qiao glanced at the time, it was just past 7 p.m. She shook her head and refused, "No, I have to go back to the company to work."

Hearing Yu Qiao Qiao’s words, Lu Man exclaimed in surprise, "You’re still working this late?"

"Chen Yan is really squeezing you dry."

Saying this, the joker pulled Yu Qiao Qiao to sit down and whispered, "I’ll tell you, in this kind of situation, you can sue Chen Yan. This is illegal overtime. You can apply for labor arbitration and demand overtime pay."

Yu Qiao Qiao blinked, "But he gave a prize, and said there will be a bonus too."

Lu Man looked knowing, "A bonus is a bonus, overtime pay is overtime pay. They’re not the same."

"Besides, how much can that bonus be? If he makes you work overtime all year, the overtime pay would already have far exceeded the bonus."

Yu Qiao Qiao blinked again and truthfully said, "Chen Yan said he would share 10%-15% of the game’s profits with us. These two months, we worked on the first game. We can share about two million or so."

Lu Man: ????

"How many people are in your company?"

Yu Qiao Qiao counted with her fingers, "Including me, there are six."

She said, "So, on average, one person could get over three hundred thousand."

Lu Man said, "No, I mean, are you short-staffed with so few employees? Do you still need people?"

She coughed, "Actually, I can do some part-time work in addition to being a celebrity."

Yu Qiao Qiao: ??

Lu Man, "I’m really not doing it for the money."

Yu Qiao Qiao, "Uh-huh. I believe you, Sister Man Man."...

Lu Man: ⊙.⊙

Yu Qiao Qiao: ⊙.⊙?....

...

After saying goodbye to the crying Lu Man, who wanted to do a part-time job at Chenyu Company, Yu Qiao Qiao returned to Chenyu Company.

When she arrived, the office area was empty. Only the idle office was still lit up, but the noisy typing sounds were gone.

Yu Qiao Qiao checked the time and saw it was only 7:30 p.m.

Normally at this time, people in the company would still be working overtime.

Why had everyone gone home today?

Curious, she walked over to the idle office.

The office door was ajar, emitting a dim yellow light. Through the crack in the door, she could see that the room had been cleaned spotless, completely renewed, even the layout had changed.

The office desks that used to be inside were gone, and a large square table had been added to the middle of the room, with some shelves for clay dolls along the wall.

Yu Qiao Qiao was a bit curious: could this really be the clay sculpture room Chen Yan had prepared for her?

She looked around the doorway and then saw Chen Yan squatting on the ground, fiddling with a pottery wheel.

Yu Qiao Qiao gently knocked on the door.

Without looking up, Chen Yan inside said, "Come in."

Yu Qiao Qiao pushed the door and entered, curiously asking, "Chen Yan. What are you doing?"

Hearing Yu Qiao Qiao’s voice, Chen Yan looked toward the door.

Seeing that it was indeed the person he had in mind, Chen Yan smiled, "I’m assembling this wheel. But it seems I can’t fit it together."

Yu Qiao Qiao listened and came over, looked at it, and said, "It’s not supposed to be assembled this way."

Saying so, she squatted down, rolled up her sleeves, then took over from Chen Yan, beginning to install the pottery wheel.

Tilting his head and looking at Yu Qiao Qiao’s serious expression with a scrunched nose, a smile couldn’t help but curl the corner of Chen Yan’s mouth.

Who said only boys look handsome when they’re serious?

Girls are clearly beautiful when they’re focused, too.

After a while of fiddling, the pottery wheel, which Chen Yan couldn’t budge, was assembled.

"There~" Yu Qiao Qiao happily looked at Chen Yan, "All set."

Then she turned her head and saw Chen Yan staring intently at her.

In that instant, Yu Qiao Qiao suddenly felt her heart skip a beat.

She said a bit flustered, "Why, why are you staring at me?"
