Chapter 474: Chapter 290: Ba’s Constitutional System (Part 2)

"Me? I don’t know!"

Chen Ba was momentarily stunned, then shook his head and said, "I don’t understand the real estate industry, nor do I understand company management. If it were me, I’d probably hire a CEO to go argue with those board members."

One’s own affairs are best known to oneself!

Chen Ba was well aware of his own capabilities; he wasn’t cut out for such tasks and had no intention of engaging in pointless arguments with those old-timers.

So, he would most likely hire a CEO like Huang Qing to act as his spokesperson and conflict deflector, leaving him free from having to show up personally. If there were any issues, they’d go to the CEO.

What? The CEO isn’t working out either?

Then just replace them!

It’s hard to find an understanding and gentle wife, but finding a top-tier CEO should be simple, right? If that’s still difficult, promoting a vice president from within would work too!

After all, the decision-making power was in his hands. As the chairman of the group, he couldn’t just let a bunch of directors lead him by the nose, right?

"I understand now."

"What do you understand?"

Seeing Wang Ya with a sudden look of realization, Chen Ba was a bit flustered and said, "I was just talking nonsense, don’t take it seriously! I was just ranting, not giving you advice to follow..."

God’s honest truth, he truly was just saying it off the cuff.

Hiring a CEO was indeed the best way for Wang Ya to handle things at the moment, but there was one precondition: the CEO had to be reliable!

If you just hired a CEO at random out of desperation, never mind the capability issue, but if they harbored ill intent, wouldn’t that be a disaster?

"I understand everything you’ve said, and I’ll make sure to carefully oversee things. By the way... did you block me on WeChat? Why can’t I see your Moments?"

"What do you want to do?"

Chen Ba was puzzled, "Did you really not block me?"

"I did block you before..."

Wang Ya took out her phone, showed it to Chen Ba, and said, "But now I’ve unblocked you, so you can see my Moments."

"Then I’ll unblock you too, but there’s really nothing interesting in my Moments to see..."

Previously, Chen Ba did have Wang Ya blocked so she couldn’t see his Moments and was even categorized under "Drinking Buddies."

But since she brought it up in person, it felt a bit embarrassing not to unblock her.

"Well, that’s it then. I’m off, see you later!"

"Okay, take care on the way."

After watching Wang Ya enter the underground parking lot, Chen Ba held his phone, staring at Wang Ya’s profile picture, his eyes full of hesitation and conflict.

Moments unblocked?

So... should I click and take a look? Just a peek, purely to satisfy my curiosity?

"What are you looking at so intently?"

Yang Dong, dressed in a groom’s suit, walked over and patted Chen Ba’s shoulder, saying, "Why are you alone, where’s that girl just now?"

"She’s left!"

"What do you mean? Did you upset her, why’d she leave without eating?"

"Nothing like that, we got along quite well, even unblocked each other from our Moments." Chen Ba raised his phone, showing the screen to Yang Dong, "You have experience, analyze what this act means?"

What does it mean?

Yang Dong stroked his chin and thought, "It means she... wants you to see her Moments and also wants to integrate into your Moments?"

"I think the same as you."

Chen Ba nodded.

When Wang Ya was still here, he hadn’t thought of this, but now that she’s gone, he’s starting to get it.

Why bring up unblocking Moments? Was she hoping to see his Moments?

Then the question is, once she sees it, will she find it eye-blinding?

After all...

The things Chen Ba posted on his Moments were understood by those who understood. They were either pretentious or shameless self-promotion.

"Should I delete them?"

"Delete them for what? If she wants to see, just let her see! The things you post, apart from being a bit abstract, actually aren’t really a problem."

Yang Dong raised an eyebrow, "As the saying goes, when a woman feels curious about a man, it means she’s not far from falling for him."

"Where did you hear that from?"

"Never mind where I heard it, just remember what I said: don’t be proactive, don’t refuse, don’t stay responsible, and that’s it!"

Yang Dong winked before hearing someone calling his name, waved his hand, and said, "Figure it out yourself, I’m heading in, and remember to block some drinks for me after you finish daydreaming, that’s it..."

You’re really quite experienced, huh?

From this moment on, Chen Ba’s impression of Dong changed.

If he remembered correctly, when Dong had just joined the studio as his partner, he was still a pure-hearted, shy, and clingy dog, so clingy it left one speechless.

Yet after dating his current wife, he instantly became confident.

He not only learned how to dress and style himself but also stopped pursuing his former goddess, and occasionally you could even hear him quote insightful sayings about love. It’s hard to believe it’s the same person!

Just getting married, does it have to change you this much?

Chen Ba complained while also admiring Yang Dong’s decisiveness. After all, it was the goddess he’d been chasing for seven or eight years, and he just let go without hesitation.

Just now in the hall, he even saw the silhouette of Dong’s goddess, which meant Dong not only sent an invitation to his ex-girlfriend but she actually showed up!

This is really ruthless...

If it were Chen Ba, he definitely couldn’t do such a thing, but this is Dong, who graciously accepted his ex-girlfriend’s blessing.

But that said.

The reason Dong could decisively make such a choice and say goodbye to his former goddess is also thanks to his wife!

This is the second time Chen Ba has met Dong.

When Dong mentioned he was getting married, Chen Ba learned about the mysterious wife’s existence, met her once recently, and today is the second time.

From his first impression, this wife is no ordinary person, someone capable of keeping Dong in line from top to bottom.

"NMD, why?"

Chen Ba couldn’t help but exclaim a famous line from Kamen Rider, full of envy, "When we’re all single, why did this wimp find a partner so quickly?"

It’s really enviable.

This time last year, they were still brothers in the same trench, and Tianba Community players fabricated evidence of Ba being gay.

Yet in the blink of an eye, Dong got married, not only scoring such a beautiful wife but also asking him for a wedding gift...

It’s simply unbelievable!

Thinking about the wedding gift he gave Yang Dong, Chen Ba felt the pain in his heart because it was his beloved "Three Illusory Gods" figures!

No choice, as they made a bet, whoever gets married first gets to make one reasonable request from the other, didn’t they?

That damned Yang Dong dared to make such a request, immediately taking the "Three Illusory Gods" limited edition custom figure from Chen Ba’s office.

So heart-wrenching, it’s hard to breathe.

As a man aspiring to be the "King of Games," Chen Ba can’t lose the Three Illusory Gods, just like the West can’t lose Jerusalem, and players can’t lose "Don’t Leave After School: Marble Storm."

"By the way..."

Speaking of "Marble Storm," Chen Ba suddenly recalled something he forgot to discuss with Yang Dong.

Yang Dong is the head of the game operations department at Tianba Studio, responsible for all game operations under the studio, including "Don’t Leave After School: Marble Storm."

The player-elected "Play Committee" was trying to set up a so-called "Ba Constitutional System" to circumvent the operations team and take full control of managing "Marble Storm," something that both ethically and logically should be communicated to Yang Dong, along with seeking his opinion.

If he opposed it and was willing to act as the primary pioneer for the "Royalist Faction," then Chen Ba wouldn’t easily relinquish control.

But if he sided with the constitutional faction, choosing to stand with the players by agreeing to the Play Committee’s request, then Chen Ba would probably have to agree to the "Ba Constitutional System," relinquishing game management rights while retaining only nominal copyrights.

This issue is quite critical...

Since the Play Committee stated that if Ba gave up real power, the game servers wouldn’t even need Tianba Studio’s provision as the committee could handle it themselves!

Players providing and maintaining their own servers, doesn’t this reduce the burden on Tianba Studio?
