Chapter 112: Little Heartless

    Moreover, the games he mentioned were all very popr online.


    He Ming probably really loved those games. He could rattle off their statistics effortlessly.


    Jin Nian was also surprised. “Then, wouldn’t the games in our country be squeezed out by thispany?”


    After all, ording to He Ming, the games produced by thispany were global, which meant that the entire world was ying them. It would be difficult for domestic games topare.


    “That’s true, but I’ve heard that their focus on entering the Chinese market isn’t primarily for making games. They’re more interested in animation. It seems their founder has returned to China this time. The founder appears to be quite young, maybe even under thirty years old, and reportedly from Hong Kong.”


    A Hong Kong citizen under thirty, returning from abroad.


    Jin Nian’s mind involuntarily connected this information to Lu An.


    She chuckled and shook her head. Why was this person trying to stir up her thoughts even when he wasn’t physically present?


    Shaking her head, she pushed those thoughts aside.


    Affirming his knowledge, shemented, “You certainly know a lot about thispany.”


    He Ming scratched his head bashfully and murmured, “Actually, I considered switching to theirpany before, which is why I’ve been asking around. I’ve heard theirpany offers great benefits andpensation. However, getting into thatpany is incredibly difficult. Plus, I’m not very familiar with animation, so… well, I had to give up.”


    It was probably unusual for He Ming to confide so much in someone. He seemed to be getting into it and began venting to Jin Nian.


    “Speaking of animation, I can’t help but feel that Jiang Qingchi is utterly shameless. He tantly giarized, yet he denies it. Moreover, he’s still able to profit from it. Ultimately, it’s because our country has too few restrictions on giarists.”


    Jin Nian had grown tired ofining about Jiang Qingchi’s matters. However, thinking about the uing meeting, she said, “I’ll leave this project to you guys. I won’t be involved any further.”


    He Ming understood and nodded. “Sure, 1 get it.”


    Thepany’s staff was well aware of the rtionship between Jiang Qingchi and Jin Nian.


    Especially during the period when Jin Nian was preparing for her wedding, the entirepany was aware. Andter, due to the broken engagement and Jiang Qingchi’s giarism scandal, discussions about these events were quitemon among the staff.


    Afterward, Jin Nian sent a message to her superior, informing them that she no longer wished to be part of the project.


    Despite her superior not responding promptly, Jin Nian wasn’t concerned. In any case, she had already made up her mind not to get involved in the project anymore.


    Unless Jiang Qingchi withdrew from this project. However, that was impossible.


    With the project matters settled, Jin Nian remembered to send a message to Lu An.


    She informed him that she had ns with her good friend tonight and asked him not to wait for her.


    Lu An replied instantly.


    “Is this something a human would do?”


    “What’s the matter? Can’t I go out and have fun with my good friend?”


    After about a minute, Lu An replied, “Until what time are you nning to y? I’lle pick you up.”


    “I’m not sure about the time. I’ll manage on my own. You don’t need toe.”


    “Are you determined to not see me tonight?” Lu An added a hint of a grievous expression at the end.


    “It’s a good opportunity for you to meet your friends. Don’t you have plenty of friends?”


    Lu An responded, “Married men don’t have friends in their hearts, only their wives.”


    Jin Nian didn’t pay much attention to his words and simply sent a couple of emojis to dismiss him, no longer engaging in the conversation.


    It wasn’t until Lu An persistently sent several more emojis that Jin Nian asked, “Are you very free?”


    “Free? How could that be? I’m at my busiest.”


    “Busy with what?”


    “Of course, I’m busy with overtime work.”


    This response had a slightly sarcastic tone.


    Not wanting to indulge him, Jin Nian replied, “Well, good luck then.”


    Seeing her message, Lu An felt quite frustrated.


    He had originallye to thepany just to spend some time and pick up Jin Nian, but now?


    Jin Nian, the ungrateful one, had left him behind to have fun with someone else.


    What an ungrateful person.


    Lu An raised his head and noticed that Jiang Qingchi hadn’t left yet.


    Seeing Lu An looking at him, Jiang Qingchi quickly spoke up, “Could CEO Lu’s misunderstanding of me be rted to the giarism incident from some time ago? It truly was just a misunderstanding. CEO Lu, I sincerely hope you can give ourpany a chance. As long as you are willing to grant us an opportunity, we can certainly exin the giarism incident clearly. You may not be aware, but this giarism incident has also had some impact on ourpany. We’re suffering undeservedly. Previously, our reputation within the industry was quite good, so…”


    Jiang Qingchi was making a genuine effort to secure the financing this time.


    His earnestness stood in sharp contrast to Lu An’s yful attitude.


    Lu An suddenly stood up, his powerful presence making Jiang Qingchi feel immense pressure..
