1269 Gu Jingze Came For An Inspection
“Nonsense. It’s clearly because Xue Mengqi’s tricks are too complicated.”
The corners of Gu Jingze’s lips turned up and he shook his head.
Lin Che went inside while giving Gu Jingze an introduction, “This is the general work area. That’s the technical work area. Over here, we have the copywriters and the editors.”
“Looks like you have quite a number of people here.”
“Yes. Initially, it was just our own studio, so there were only a few people. Subsequently, we needed much more manpower, so we hired many more employees.”
Because Gu Jingze had lost his memories recently, she had not mentioned certain things to him.
As she ran the company in the past, he would often give her many suggestions. She would ask Gu Jingze random questions at home and he would enlighten her at once.
So to speak, the fact that the game could proceed so quickly was inextricably linked to Gu Jingze’s assistance.
However, when Gu Jingze subsequently lost his memory, he no longer remembered that she was running a company. Thus, she did not ask him about company-related matters anymore.
Midway, there were indeed more and more employees in the company. The company had hired a significant number of newbies at one go, to assist in copywriting and technical matters. The studio was also split into several departments.
Among the employees, KG was the head of the technical department. Now, everyone called him Director K.
As for Crooked Neck, he was a team leader in the technical department. Usually, he was also in charge of some other business affairs.
Upon seeing Lin Che and Gu Jingze enter, everyone was curious and wondered who he was. However, they didn’t dare to shoot their mouths off and ask. They merely felt that perhaps he was of the same profession as Lin Che since his looks were so outstanding.
If that was the case, he would definitely hit the big time in the future given his looks. He was so handsome that it nearly made people stop breathing.
However, inside, when Crooked Neck looked up and saw Gu Jingze, he immediately knocked over the glass of water in his hand.
Beside him, his roommate and good friend, who was now also responsible for technical matters, started crying out in alarm, “What the hell? I just finished the code. I’ll definitely kill you if you ruined the computer.”
Crooked Neck said, “What code? Seriously, look at who’s here.”
By this time, Crooked Neck had quickly cleared his throat and stood up.
Only then did the people around him see that Lin Che had brought someone here.
But who was this person?
“Who? Who?”
“Get lost. Anyway, he’s a god. Move aside.”
Crooked Neck hastily walked towards them.
“Sister Che. Oh, this must be brother-in-law...”
“...”
He was already calling him brother-in-law.
What an intimate way of addressing him.
Lin Che nearly spluttered. But when she looked at Gu Jingze beside her, he unexpectedly showed no reaction at all. He even seemed quite pleased to be called brother-in-law. Although he remained expressionless as usual, the hint of tenderness in his eyes was a sign that he was in a good mood.
Lin Che glared at Crooked Neck.
However, Crooked Neck felt extremely rejuvenated.
How many people would die of envy at hearing him call Gu Jingze brother-in-law?
He himself had never expected such a day to come.
“Brother-in-law, this way, please. Sister Che’s expression is always blissful when she mentions you. I’m genuinely envious to death. Today, I’m finally seeing Brother-in-law in the flesh. Are you here to conduct an inspection for Sister Che?”
Gu Jingze looked at Lin Che. She quickly looked down.
She had to say that this Crooked Neck was seriously used to boot-licking. It was too much of a habit. He sucked up to anyone.
When had she ever mentioned him all day? She had clearly never brought him up.
Gu Jingze quirked up his lip corners. When it came to his own wife, he still understood her thoroughly.
Lin Che definitely would not mention him to outsiders for no reason.
On the contrary, she would basically never mention her own husband out of worry that it would affect him negatively.
She had always been independent and did not make herself out to be a submissive woman outside.
However, he did not expose Crooked Neck’s flattering either. He merely smiled and looked at a sheepish Lin Che.
Lin Che said, “Enough. Crooked Neck, stop spouting nonsense.”
She slapped Crooked Neck on his arm. He laughed mischievously. “It’s because I’m too excited to meet Brother-in-law.”
Gu Jingze looked inside. “It looks like the company is progressing quite well.”
How insincere this sentence sounded.
Lin Che thought to herself.
In the skyscraper of the Gu Industries, one department alone had hundreds of people, but there was not even a hundred people in the entirety of their tiny studio.
This office was an ordinary and simple office. It was absolutely no match for the campus at the Gu Industries, which was completely modern and appeared extremely high-end, elegant and classy everywhere.
However, they were very content with this place. It was especially so for Crooked Neck and the others. Now, they had their own office and could work independently, without having to squeeze behind small tables to write codes. If they wanted to eat something, they could also use the kitchen in the back to make something to eat. The canteen was downstairs and someone could deliver food to them anytime. It was different from the situation at the school dormitory previously, where they wrote codes late into the night but could only eat some instant noodles to satisfy their hunger.
Thus, they were genuinely very satisfied with the current situation.
Crooked Neck said, “Sister Che has set up everything in a fantastic manner. Sister Che did all of this. We’re living comfortably with Sister Che leading us.”
Lin Che glared at him. “You’re sucking up to me again.”
Crooked Neck said, “I’m speaking the truth. Look, Sister Che. All of us have people working under us now. On top of that, KG is even a director now. But I think he’s really not used to being called Director K. The moment someone calls him that, he hides inside to code. Tsk, tsk. But among us, he’s the one who likes having his own office. Look. He’s always nestled inside.”
Seeing that he was still in the general work area outside and was not going in despite having an office inside, she asked him, “Why aren’t you using the office inside?”
Crooked Neck said, “We still prefer being outside where it’s noisy. It’s too quiet inside, so we can’t really code. How nice is it to be able to speak to each other while coding? Inside, we’ll be alone. After coding for some time, we won’t know what to say. We’re different from KG. He likes to be alone and silent for no reason.”
Lin Che instinctively smiled when she heard this. But she nevertheless greatly appreciated how authentic they were. They were not pretentious at all.
By creating a noisy environment like this, it instead made their relationship very good.
At this moment, they walked towards KG’s office.
When Crooked Neck opened the door, he immediately said, “KG, KG, boss. Quick, look who’s here.”
KG turned his head. When he saw Gu Jingze, his eyes paused for a moment.
Afterward, his gaze shifted to Lin Che beside him.
His eyes shifted again from Lin Che to Gu Jingze. His gaze changed before he stood up.
Crooked Neck went on, “Mr. Gu’s presence in our office truly brings light to our humble dwelling. Good gracious, I saw all of those young girls looking this way earlier. Look, the moment Mr. Gu came, the young girls in the office all stopped looking at me. In the past, all of them were my loyal protectors. They can’t withstand it now. I think their eyes are itching to fly over here.”
Gu Jingze smiled. He remained silent while listening to Crooked Neck chatter on.
KG stared at Gu Jingze. “Mr. Gu.”
Gu Jingze returned KG’s gaze. For a long time, Lin Che did not know the extent to which they had communicated using their eyes, nor did she know what information they had exchanged. In any case, for some reason, the way they were looking at each other felt strange to Lin Che.
