After refining the game's creative concept in his mind, Chu Ge sorted through these thoughts, and once he couldn't think of anything more, he contentedly fell into a deep sleep.

That night, Shu Lulu finally didn't play any pranks, and the three of them welcomed another morning.

When Chu Ge woke up, he just happened to see Ye Li tiptoeing towards the kitchen, clearly not wanting to disturb his sleep.

"Morning."

Chu Ge stretched lazily, sat up from the sofa, and greeted Ye Li.

Suddenly hearing Chu Ge's voice, Ye Li's body trembled slightly. She turned her head and gave Chu Ge an awkward smile, "Brother Chu, morning, did I wake you up?"

Seeing Ye Li's awkward appearance, Chu Ge knew she was definitely thinking about what happened last night and was still nervous.

Chu Ge pretended to just notice the clothes on him, his gaze pausing slightly on them before raising his head to smile, "No, I woke up naturally. Did you cover me with this clothes?"

"Yes, I was afraid you'd get cold at night. Brother Chu, I... I'll go make you breakfast."

Seeing Chu Ge's expression, Ye Li thought he surely didn't know what happened in the middle of the night, which finally made her breathe a sigh of relief. She responded and went into the kitchen.

However, after sighing in relief, Ye Li felt a bit disappointed. It was such a contradictory feeling.

Until she finished breakfast with Chu Ge, Ye Li was still a bit distracted. Whenever her gaze met Chu Ge's, she would think of how her place was stuck to his face last night, followed by a feeling of panic and unease, glancing away quickly. Throughout the meal, she barely ate anything.

Ye Li's reaction was something Chu Ge understood well, but he could only pretend to be nonchalant as if nothing had happened.

After breakfast, Chu Ge dressed neatly and took out a thousand yuan from his wallet, placing it on the table.

"Ye Li, if you feel bored at home during the day, go out and shop or something. That little girl has nothing to do either, so let her accompany you; it's better than being alone."

"Brother Chu, how can I take your money?" Ye Li was stunned and quickly shook her head.

"Just take it, why be so polite with me?"

Chu Ge stuffed the money into Ye Li's hand. Seeing her still wanting to refuse, he added, "If you don't take it, I'll be angry, alright?"

Hearing Chu Ge say this, Ye Li hesitated a moment before finally accepting the money.

She really didn't have much money at the moment. She hadn't worn or sold the gold necklace from Geng Li, and returned it to Li Nan that very night to send it back.

Living at Chu Ge's place, the least she could do was buy some groceries so he could eat a warm meal when he came back. Chu Ge giving her money also showed his trust in her, which made her feel sweet and happy inside.

Seeing Ye Li accept the money, Chu Ge smiled and nodded, "That's right. I'm off to work; call me if there's anything."

"Okay, Brother Chu, what time will you be back tonight? Is there anything you'd like to eat? I'll go buy it during the day."

"Anything is fine, I'm not picky."

Ye Li saw Chu Ge to the door. Once he put on his shoes, she squatted by his feet and used a shoe cloth from the shoe rack to wipe his shoes, just like a virtuous little wife, reluctantly watching Chu Ge leave.

After leaving home, Chu Ge drove directly to Tianqing Company. He did some exercises in his office and then called Tong Yaqi to come over.

Not long after, Tong Yaqi knocked on the office door and walked in from the outside.

"Yaqi, regarding the game I mentioned to you earlier, with our company's current technical capabilities, is there any problem?" Chu Ge motioned for Tong Yaqi to sit and got straight to the point.

"There shouldn't be any problem."

Chu Ge nodded, "That's good. I suddenly had some new ideas yesterday. Let me tell you, and we can analyze them together. This is what I'm thinking..."

After listening to Chu Ge's ideas, Tong Yaqi was also very interested and said with a radiant smile, "President Chu, how did you come up with such brilliant ideas? Compared to your ideas, the people in our company's planning department should just be laid off."

Chu Ge chuckled, "What if I say the inspiration came from playing hacky sack with some youngsters? Do you believe it?"

Tong Yaqi looked speechless at Chu Ge, "President Chu, you even come up with ideas while playing hacky sack. I really admire you. I wonder if, when we have in-depth discussions, you'll suddenly have another burst of inspiration and think of some genius idea?"

Chu Ge laughed, "Who knows, inspiration tends to come unexpectedly, doesn't it?"

Seeing Chu Ge pretending to get up from behind the desk, Tong Yaqi hurriedly waved her hand, "No, let's talk about serious business first."

Chu Ge was actually just teasing Tong Yaqi. It was still early in the workday, and someone might come looking for her at any moment. He smirked and sat back down.

The two of them enthusiastically exchanged opinions for more than ten minutes, delving into more intricate details regarding the game.

While talking, Tong Yaqi's eyes suddenly lit up, and she said, "President Chu, I have an idea, too."

As soon as Chu Ge saw Tong Yaqi's expression, he knew she must have thought of a good idea. He nodded immediately, "Go ahead."

"President Chu, this is what I think: doing games and films actually have some commonalities, and that is they both need a gimmick. For a new game company like our Tianqing, a gimmick is even more important. See if we can add another gimmick, maybe we can make something out of our company's spokespersons?"

"Chen Jiatong and Xu Jingyuan? What do you mean?"

Tong Yaqi had a sudden inspiration earlier and, after sorting out her thoughts, elaborated, "For example, based on the two of them, let them become female characters in the game, or invite them to shoot a CG animation for cutscenes in the game. In short, link them to this game."

Chu Ge pondered for a bit, pulled out a cigarette from the pack, and Tong Yaqi quickly came over to light it for him, bringing the ashtray to his side.

Chu Ge took a few puffs and the more he thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. He nodded, "It's indeed a good idea. Whether for the company or for them, this should be a good thing. I'll contact them later to hear their thoughts."

Just as he said this, Chu Ge's phone suddenly rang.

"President Chu, do you need me to step out?" Tong Yaqi stood up from the sofa and cast an inquiring glance at Chu Ge.

Chu Ge glanced at the caller ID—it was Qin Ruojing. He told Tong Yaqi no need, then answered the call.

"Chu Ge, where are you now?"

Qin Ruojing's voice came through the receiver. Although her words were ordinary, the tone sounded a bit odd to Chu Ge.

However, he didn't think much of it, assuming Qin Ruojing might have a sore throat. Casually, he said, "I'm at Tianqing Company. What are your instructions, Chairman?"

"Not instructions, I just wanted to chat about the company. Do you have time?"

"The chairman wants a talk; even if I don't have time, I'll make the time. Should I come over to you now?"

"Uh... So you're very busy? Then, I guess I should come over to report to you. Yes, I'll be there soon."

Hearing this, Chu Ge was taken aback. He doubted whether it was really Qin Ruojing on the other end of the line.

When did she become so polite with him? He only jokingly said he was busy, yet she insisted on coming over to report to him? This doesn't seem like Qin Ruojing's character.

Wait a minute, didn't she say she'll come to report to him, and not listen to him report?

Oh dear, could it be Qin Ruojing misspoke?

Before he could say more, Qin Ruojing had already hung up.

Staring blankly at the phone, Chu Ge placed it on the desk and turned to Tong Yaqi, "Yaqi, have you seen the chairman in the past few days?"

Tong Yaqi chuckled, "Yes, why do you ask?"

"Did she...have a fever or any kind of shock recently?"

"Not at all, the chairman seems fine. Why do you ask?"

Tong Yaqi was speechless in her heart. Since Chu Ge asked like this, she could guess that Qin Ruojing must have sounded very strange on the phone, which led to such a reaction from Chu Ge. But at this moment, she could only pretend to be quite baffled.

Chu Ge scratch his head in confusion, "She said she's coming to report to me."

Tong Yaqi burst out laughing, feeling more speechless than Chu Ge, as if totally defeated by Qin Ruojing.

Isn't it just about taking some steps to pursue Chu Ge, does she have to get this nervous? Even making such a slip of the tongue.

Thinking of her offer to help Qin Ruojing pursue Chu Ge, Tong Yaqi suddenly realized that this task is not going to be easy.

Just as Tong Yaqi was feeling speechless, her phone rang as well. She guessed it was Qin Ruojing calling, so when picking up the phone, she intentionally faced away from Chu Ge.

Sure enough, it was indeed Qin Ruojing.

Apologetically smiling at Chu Ge, Tong Yaqi took the call and stepped out of the office, closing the door behind her.

Walking a bit further away to ensure Chu Ge couldn't hear her, Tong Yaqi answered the phone in the hallway.

"Yaqi, you're at Tianqing Company, right?" Qin Ruojing's frustrated voice came through as soon as the call connected.

"Yeah, hey, are you calling to complain?" Tong Yaqi asked helplessly.

"Hmm? Yaqi, how did you know? Could it be you..."

"When you called Chu Ge just now, I was right beside him, of course, I knew."

Hearing Tong Yaqi's amused yet resigned voice, Qin Ruojing on the other line felt even more tangled inside.
