"Actually, if you really want to go on a business trip, it's not impossible. There's an opportunity right now." In the passenger seat, Qin Ruojing said with a slight teasing expression, arms crossed in front of her, deliberately stretching her tone.
"Chairman, stop being mysterious. Just tell me the conditions directly." Glancing at Qin Ruojing, Chu Ge said with a wry smile.
"Seeing how sincere you are, I'll agree to let you go on a business trip. As for the condition... I haven't thought of it yet. How about you promise me one request, and I'll tell you what it is when I think of it."
"Chairman, this is kind of cheating. How am I supposed to know if your request will be outrageous, if I can agree to it, or if I can even fulfill it?"
"Don't worry, my request will definitely be within your capabilities. So, consider it?"
Looking at Qin Ruojing helplessly, Chu Ge finally nodded, "If you put it like that, it seems fair enough. I agree. Let's talk about the business trip then. Where am I going? How long will I be away?"
"If nothing unexpected happens, it should be two or three days. Some shots from our Tianjiao Film and Television movie need to be filmed in Qinggang City. There's a flight at 2 PM today. Are you going?"
"Going!"
Chu Ge agreed readily. For him, every day of freedom counted, and it was the perfect excuse to travel.
When he got to the Tianjiao Building, Chu Ge returned the car keys to Qin Ruojing and caught a ride home. After all, he needed to pack some toiletries and spare clothes for the trip, and he'd also have to tell Shu Lulu and He Qing.
As soon as he opened the door, Chu Ge heard sobbing coming from the bedroom, causing him to frown and hurriedly walk over.
In his view, Shu Lulu was staring despondently at the computer screen.
Hearing Chu Ge's footsteps, Shu Lulu turned her head and called out "Uncle," sobbing even more pitifully.
"Lulu, what's the matter?"
"Uncle, the website... the website has given their decision. My account and your brother's account, all have been banned, permanently... permanently banned. They said this is... the final decision. What am I going to do... How can I compensate your brother's money? Wuwu..."
Coming to Shu Lulu's side, Chu Ge looked at the computer screen. Sure enough, it showed the so-called final decision, and his brows furrowed a bit more.
This game company was indeed being unreasonable. This was clearly a mistaken ban, and they just issued a permanent ban without discerning right from wrong? There was no room for negotiation?
Chu Ge could not forget how He Junming boasted about that account, nor how frustrated He Junming was when he got disconnected during a PK, and Shu Lulu's excitement while playing the game yesterday was still fresh in his mind.
From this, it was evident that both He Junming and Shu Lulu valued this game account highly. Even though He Junming didn't lack money, there were many things in the game that depended on luck and couldn't be bought with money.
Besides, how could this inexplicable ban be justified? Even if it was someone who didn't care much about the game like He Junming and Shu Lulu, anyone would be unable to swallow this anger.
Suddenly, Chu Ge remembered something: the place he was about to visit, Qinggang City, seemed to be where the game company was headquartered.
Thinking of this, Chu Ge patted Shu Lulu on the shoulder, "Lulu, it's nothing. I'm going on a business trip, and the place I'm going to is Qinggang City where the game company is located. I'll go to the company this afternoon and talk to them to have these accounts unbanned."
Shu Lulu was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly rubbed her eyes, "Uncle, you're... you're going on a business trip? What about me? Can you take me with you? I want to ask them for an explanation face-to-face too."
"I'm going on a business trip, not on a tour group outing. What sense does it make to bring you along?"
"But... but if you leave, I'll be alone at home again! I'm... I'm scared, what should I do?"
"I specifically came home just for this. Those two sisters... uh, aunts, you saw this morning are my neighbors. If you're scared, you can go find them."
Shu Lulu grabbed Chu Ge's hand and held on tightly, "No, Uncle, don't go, okay? I'm not familiar with them."
Chu Ge rubbed his forehead, "They definitely won't ignore you. What's there to be afraid of with them around? Plus, I'll be back in two or three days. Don't you want your account and my brother's account unbanned?"
Shu Lulu hurriedly nodded, "I do!"
Chu Ge smiled and withdrew his hand, "There you go!"
Shu Lulu bit her lip again in distress, and tears welled up again, "But... but I don't want you to leave either..."
"You're a grown-up now, and you have two... two aunts to take care of you, so be good and listen, okay? Come on, I'll take you to find Aunt He Qing, I'll explain to her for you, and I'll call Aunt Yaoyao for you later, alright?"
Chu Ge comforted Shu Lulu a few more times, and finally coaxed her into not crying.
There was no denying, it was a bizarre feeling, almost like a parent coaxing a child. Even Chu Ge found it rather ridiculous, considering he was only seven years older than Shu Lulu.
He took Shu Lulu to knock on He Qing's door, explained to He Qing that he would be away for a few days, and then left Shu Lulu at He Qing's place. He went back to his room to pack up his things, and in the meantime called He Junming, but his phone was still off.
By two in the afternoon, Chu Ge was on the plane with the crew heading to Qinggang City, and an hour later, they arrived at the destination.
The crew went to the reserved hotel, and seeing it was still early, Chu Ge took a taxi straight to the game company.
Seeing Shu Lulu so upset, Chu Ge hoped to resolve this matter quickly and cheer her up soon.
This company was quite sizable, with a modern-style skyscraper spanning over a dozen floors. Upon entering, there was a splendidly bright and clean lobby. Chu Ge asked at the front desk where to file a complaint, queued for the elevator, and arrived at the seventh floor, the office of the game's customer complaint department.
As soon as he entered, he was surprised to see there was still a queue, with as many as sixteen or seventeen people ahead of him.
Most of these people were around twenty years old, and all of them looked quite unhappy — some were bewildered, others angry, but more just looked dejected and anxious.
While waiting, Chu Ge glanced forward. At the end of the line, there was a table with a young woman who looked extremely indifferent, playing with her phone behind it. She was half-heartedly dealing with a big boy filling out a complaint form.
This woman had a terrible attitude, saying things like, "How can you be so stupid? Haven't you been to school? Figure it out yourself." When the big boy finished filling the form, without so much as looking up or opening her eyes, she called out, "Next."
Seeing this scene, Chu Ge couldn't help but frown, wondering what this woman was playing at with her attitude.
The ones who came here were obviously players who encountered various problems in the game. To be honest, every player is the bread and butter for the game company staff. If players didn't spend money on the game, the gaming company would have been bankrupt already. Where would the company's CEO get the money to pay them salaries?
To put it politely, this woman had a problem with her work attitude. But to be blunt, she was downright ungrateful, putting on airs in front of her own 'parents'.
Although he disliked it, Chu Ge didn't say much, patiently waiting in line. He was here to solve a problem, not to have conflicts with anyone.
Due to the irresponsibility of the employee, the queue moved very slowly. By four thirty, there were still quite a few people ahead of Chu Ge, but then that employee stretched lazily, got up from behind the table, said, "It's closing time. Those who didn't make it today, come back tomorrow," and walked off on her own.
After traveling such a long way and not even being able to complete the first step of the procedure, Chu Ge was speechless. But since it was their closing time, there was nothing else he could do. So he went back to the hotel, made a few phone calls, had a simple meal, and went back to his room to rest.
The next morning, while the crew went out to shoot, Chu Ge once again went to the game company.
Although he got there quite early, there were still people ahead of him in the queue. They had all come from different places, due to account bans, hoping to get their accounts unbanned.
This time, Chu Ge didn't have to wait too long. After filling out the complaint form, the customer service dismissively told him that they should have the results by the afternoon. Without waiting for Chu Ge to ask anything, they lazily called the next person.
After strolling around the film set, Chu Ge returned to the game company at two in the afternoon, when customer service was back on duty. After waiting a while, he was given a result that he found utterly ridiculous.
The customer service said that the two accounts had used cheat software on a certain day the previous week, and the permanent bans issued yesterday were the final result.
Upon hearing this, Chu Ge couldn't help but laugh. Would He Junming, whose account was already so powerful, need cheats? Would Shu Lulu, who cherished her account so much, use cheats?
With a glance at the customer service agent, Chu Ge nodded, "Since you claim these two accounts used cheat software, fine, show me the data. As long as you can prove it, I have nothing more to say."
The customer service agent shook her head, looked at Chu Ge, and arrogantly said, "Sir, you have no right to view this information; it's all user privacy."
Receiving such a response, Chu Ge was both amused and annoyed. Although he wasn't the owner of the two accounts, He Junming's account was practically his, and he could completely represent Shu Lulu as well.
Wasn't he considered a user too? How could he not be allowed to see what was his? How did that make any sense?
