Wen Fan tried his best to suppress the burning sensation on his face. He hid the tail behind him in between his legs and turned his face away in unease.

Lou Wei who he thought was not paying attention to him immediately said to those staff, “Are you done with your break?”

The female employees exchange glances. They thought that Lou Wei was embarrassed because they showed his pictures around, so, they quickly returned to their workstations without a word.      

Wen Fan let out a sigh of relief as he dangled his tail and sat on the floor. He stole a glance at Lou Wei again. When he noticed that Lou Wei was not looking at him, the blush on his face gradually died down and he felt an unspeakable disappointment swept over him.     

He felt a little odd about the feelings he was experiencing now. However, scratched his head and decided not to give it much thought anymore. He took out the small tv and he started watching it with his back facing Lou Wei. The penguin who had been hiding behind the screen also came out to watch Bilibili with him. 

While it was watching TV with Wen Fan, the penguin suddenly felt a chill down its spine. It turned its head around and saw Lou Wei staring at Wen Fan without blinking. Before it could turn its head back, it noticed Lou Wei staring at its wing that it placed on Wen Fan.

Lou Wei furrowed his brows immediately and his eyes turned cold.

Penguin, “QuQ!”

     ————

The rest of the day passed by very quickly with the busy preparation for ‘Compagnon’. Previously, Wen Fan was worried that with the quick update of the news on the internet, the popularity of ‘Compagnon’ would drop rapidly within a week.

However, it was lucky that Lou Wei’s prediction earlier on was correct. After Ke Yanan’s incident, there was no other big news on the internet and people once again thought about ‘Compagnon’ from Yuancheng Technology. Now that they’ve learnt about ‘Compagnon’ gameplay and core ‘avatar scanning’ technology, everyone discussed it openly on the internet. On the fifth day, some of the netizens could hardly wait any longer and started asking about the release date on Yuancheng Technology’s official blog. And at the same time, they also wanted to know more about the game.

Other gaming companies who were competitors of Yuancheng Technology were also having internal discussions about ‘Compagnon’ technology.  

Even Gao Qing Technology who previously supplied plug-ins for Lou Wei’s ‘Heaven Dream’ were also discussing the ‘avatar scanning’ of Lou Wei’s new game ‘Compagnon’ during their internal meeting. 

Gao Yuan, the boss of Gao Qing Technology even questioned the employees of the designing department loudly in the meeting, especially targeting the Head of Department of the designing department, Si Yu who was seated in the frontmost, “Didn’t you say that you’ve recruited a lot of outstanding newcomers this year? Now that Lou Wei’s so called…how do you pronounce this bunch of english words?! Erm, Compagnon? Can’t you even replicate the avatar scanning of this Compagnon?”     

Gao Yuan said as he tossed the files in his hands regarding Compagnon in front of Si Yu. It made a loud noise when it landed on the table. Everyone in the meeting room was looking at Si Yu as if they were watching a movie. They had no intention to help him out at all.

The astute looking man in his thirties stood up immediately and bowed as he apologized to Gao Yuan. He still looked temperamental, but his eyes were a little too small. When he narrowed his eyes, the corners of his eyes would lift slightly, making him appear a little arrogant and harsh. However, his apologetic words were delivered flawlessly.

But Gao Yuan doesn’t buy this at all. He continued, “The rose passcode didn’t even cause any stir up last time. You clearly said that Yuancheng Technology received the plug-in with restrictions. However, they never top up their investment nor requested us to fix the issue with the new patch. This is simply impossible!” He snorted coldly, “That time, Lou Wei didn’t even have the plug-in to develop a new patch, however, they released a new patch the next day. How is it possible that he didn’t come looking for you for the issue with the plug-in? Unless, they already resolved the issue with the plug-in or…they already deciphered the what you called that…the rose passcode.” 

Si Yu wasn’t able to lift his head up to the criticism. The gazes from everyone in the meeting room made it even more unbearable. But what’s most unbearable was this clueless fat pig in front of him who was as dumb as a pig could manage a company as big as Gao Qing because he was born lucky!

Si Yu clenched the muscles on his cheeks and gazed at the shiny floor. He apologized to Gao Yuan again. Although he began to grow disdainful, he still continued to say, “Boss, I guarantee that although we are still unsure what is the core of Compagnon, Yuancheng Technology certainly can’t produce realistic anthropomorphic effects. To be honest, there is no such technology available in the world now. How is it possible they suddenly made a breakthrough in their technology since they had never published any relevant research in the previous two years?”

Si Yu lifted his head to look at Gao Yuan, smiling, “And boss, I have arranged someone to get into Yuancheng Technology. Don’t you worry. I will definitely be able to get the core of their technology before their official release.”

At this instant, everyone who was sitting back, enjoying the show, was dumbstruck. Some of them looked put on a heavy expression. One of the men couldn’t help but speak loudly, “Si Yu, you must be bluffing, right? Why are we unaware that you’ve already made some arrangement?”    

Si Yu knew that they had long wanted to push him off from his position as the head of the department. So he refused to say much and gave a brief response to put an end to their questions, “The person that I’ve arranged is working alongside Lou Wei. I suppose he’s about to complete the mission soon.” He is secretly implying that it’s too late for those people to destroy his plan now.

Meanwhile, Lou Wei, who was running a check on Compagnon data codes in the office, received a call from an anonymous number. 

His mobile phone number is a special phone number that was purchased at a great price from a telecommunication company. His number will not be able to MLM and advertising calls or text messages. Those who called his number must have been those who knew his number. 

As soon as Lou Wei answered the phone, he heard an unfamiliar voice, “Hello, is this President Lou?”

Lou Wei didn’t recognize this voice, but at the same time, he felt that he had heard this voice before. Lou Wei glanced at his other phone on Wen Fan who had already gone into the mansion for an afternoon nap. He replied in a low voice while he carefully pulled open his drawer and put the phone where Wen Fan is living, into the drawer and locked the drawer before he walked out from the room quietly. 

The voice on the other end seemed to notice something and said apologetically, “I’m sorry. Am I interrupting your meeting?”     

“No,” Lou Wei walked out of the office and went to the corridor. He stood beside the window and stared at the tall buildings outside of the window, “You are?”

The voice that sounded like a spring breeze said his name politely, “Hi, my name is Ding Yuxiao.” 

Ding Yuxiao.

The young best leading actor of RZ Entertainment. He debuted at the age of twenty-nine and won the best leading actor award after six years from his debut. He left RZ Entertainment at thirty years old to start his own studio. He is now thirty-two years old and has won the best leading actor award twice. He was someone gentle with no particular temperament, but he is consistently on Weibo’s hot search. He was a competent actor with good looks and great acting skills, who doesn’t rely on any media gossip or scandals, but could guarantee consistent popularity reactively on Weibo’s one of those who didn’t rely on any special two actor titles in total. Moreover, he is a gentle person without any special personality.

And most importantly, his traffic is no less than those new generation celebrities. Judging from the number of fans he has, it was just a little less compared with Ke Yanan. But because he didn’t earn those fans from excessive hype, his fans were more stable than Ke Yanan 

But Lou Wei is not the boss of an entertainment agency, so he had no idea why Ding Yuxiao called him, “Hi, what can I do for you?”

Ding Yuxiao, who was on the other end of the line, spoke frankly instead of going around in circles with Lou Wei. When he opened his mouth again, the first thing that he said was, “Is President Lou still sourcing for a celebrity’s image copyright? I don’t need to charge any copyright fees. I only need you to collaborate with me on…” 

Ding Yuxiao spoke his mind. Lou Wei stood beside the window while he talked about it with him. At this moment, the elevator door opened, and Lin Xiu, who was holding a cup of coffee, came to deliver the coffee to Lou Wei at the usual time.

She wore glasses with thick lenses with her long hair pulled neatly into a ponytail behind her head. Seeing that Lou Wei was talking on the phone beside the window, she greeted him in a low voice.   

Lou Wei made a gesture to her to put the coffee on his desk.  

Lin Xiu immediately entered his office with a cup of coffee.

While Lou Wei was chatting with Ding Yuxiao on the phone, Lin Xiu closed the door after entering Lou Wei’s office. She placed her ear on the door to listen to Lou Wei’s conversation and she was convinced that he would be on the phone for a long while. She quickly walked to the office desk, placed the coffee on the desk, and switched on the computer. 

It’s a pity that the computer was locked.

The password on the screen stopped her from accessing the computer.

Lin Xiu was so anxious that she banged her fist on the tabletop. With the size of her petite build, she didn’t make a loud noise. The tabletop only shook a little.

But this force was extremely great for Wen Fan who was still taking a nap

Every time Lou Wei walked, he felt as though he was floating up and down on the ocean. However, the motion was gentle, so he didn’t feel dizzy at all.

But when Lin Xiu banged the table, it was similar to that when you were in the middle of sleep and the roof suddenly shook. Although there wasn’t any sound, the sudden vibration could wake you up instantly.  

Wen Fan was awakened by this force. He came out from ‘The Sims’ mansion and found that he was inside a dark drawer.      

Wen Fan immediately felt that something was amiss.

From the day he started living on Lou Wei’s phone, whenever he is inside the mansion, Lou Wei will definitely not leave him alone.  

It is even more impossible for him to put it in a drawer.

Therefore, the person outside is certainly not Lou Wei.

And in order to safeguard his privacy, Lou Wei never installed any CCTV inside his office. So Wen Fan could only try to link himself to Lou Wei’s computer on the desk above him

The camera on the computer was pointing to Lin Xiu’s face.    

What is Lin Xiu doing here?

Wen Fan sensed something was wrong. He then saw Lin Xiu take out a key from her pocket and inserted it in the keyhole of the drawer. She carefully turned the key and murmured, “Lou Wei wouldn’t put all the files on his computer, right? I remembered seeing him printed it before. Could it be that he never printed the avatar scanning data?”
