Chapter 1807: Pint-Sized Side Story (59): Pleasing, Enemy Camp, A Man’s Secret

Inside the Venue

Qi Lie saw the AI intelligent experience game shot by Duan Group, and his heart was instantly moved. Worried about being discovered, he had lunch and sneaked out under the pretense of going for a walk...

He "strolled" all the way to the exhibition hall.

In the afternoon, just as the exhibition began, he was among the first batch to enter, needing no queue, and directly got on to experience the games.

To be honest, the experience was excellent. With not many people around, he tried several games in one go.

While Duan Yiyang came over to inspect the work, the person in charge hosted him for lunch. After the meal, Duan Yiyang just returned to fetch some documents when a staff member came over to report to the person in charge:

"Someone came just as the afternoon exhibition started."

"From another company?" the person in charge asked bluntly.

This exhibition gathered many companies, so it was typical for other companies to come over intentionally to gather information.

"No, he played several of our motion-sensing games and did really well. We want to conduct a follow-up visit, ask him to provide some suggestions, and also see if he’d like to test out our newly developed games."

Since it involved the experience of a new game which related to trade secrets, a confidentiality agreement might be needed. The staff couldn’t make the decision alone and came to consult with the person in charge.

"Mr. Xiaoduan..." The person in charge looked at Duan Yiyang, seeking his opinion.

"How well did this person play?" Duan Yiyang chuckled, "I’ll go take a look."

When developing games, you definitely need players to test experience. However, AI games are different from regular online games and aren’t widespread yet, so finding a good tester isn’t easy.

If this person is any good, he thought, maybe he could try to make him a long-term game tester for the company.

People generally wouldn’t refuse getting paid to play new games.

**

When he arrived at the company’s exhibition area, Qi Lie was wearing AI glasses, covering most of his face, so Duan Yiyang didn’t recognize him until Qi Lie took off the glasses and their eyes met—

In that moment, there was a flash of surprise, and both were dumbfounded.

Qi Lie was studying abroad and had yet to enter his family’s company. Qi Zeyan protected the kids well, so he and his sister Qi Zhiyi grew up in an environment similar to ordinary children, with few people recognizing them.

Although Duan Yiyang hadn’t met him, his father once showed him Qi Lie’s photo when he was recommended for university, almost posting it by the bedside to urge him to surpass Qi Lie. So he would recognize the guy with the head of Little Juanmao anywhere.

On the other hand, Qi Lie knew Duan Yiyang because he had already entered his family’s company, received some financial interviews, and had already started to make a name in the business circle.

However, the atmosphere right now...

Was quite awkward.

Qi Lie never expected to bump into Duan Yiyang while sneaking around, but he also couldn’t "lose face" for his father. Even when caught, he put his virtual arrogance on display and put down the experience glasses, "This game..."

"It’s just so-so."

With that, he planned to slip away.

"Wait a minute." Not giving the staff a chance to speak, Duan Yiyang spoke up.

"Got something to say?"

Qi Lie already had a plan in mind. As the exhibition area was open for public experience, he was just an ordinary participant. If this guy dared to pick on him, he would dare to lodge a complaint.

"We have several new games; interested in trying them out?"

Qi Lie was currently engrossed in playing. Reason told him not to get entangled with the Duan Family, but he really wanted to try the new games.

"They’re all yet to be released, and you’re the first batch of testers." Duan Yiyang saw his hesitation and pressed again.

"Why pick me?" Qi Lie was genuinely tempted.

"Because you play games well."

At that moment, Qi Lie thought to himself:

This guy really knows what’s up and has some taste.

"Well? Want to give it a try?" Duan Yiyang maintained an excellent attitude.

Qi Lie contemplated, even thinking up an excuse in case his father found out:

I went to infiltrate the enemy’s camp and gather intel.

Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will be victorious in every battle.

Someone nodded in agreement. Under broad daylight, Duan Yiyang wouldn’t do anything to him but once in the backstage experience room, Duan Yiyang personally brewed coffee for him and even brought some desserts, saying it was to keep him from going hungry while gaming.

The person in charge nearly dropped his jaw.

Duan Yiyang’s afternoon schedule had been fully arranged; he was supposed to just collect a document and leave. Now, he postponed some work to keep someone company to play games.

This was one thing, but serving tea and attending to all his needs?

Qi Lie was initially just attracted by the new games, but after arriving, he slightly regretted it. What exactly was Duan Yiyang up to?
