Chapter 21: Bai Xiaotong's Little Thoughts
Wang Lin was very satisfied with his conversation just now. He used both soft and hard tactics, and he believed that no normal person would refuse his proposal.
The design department manager at Tencent earns three times the salary!
This is the job that so many people dream of!
Indeed, any normal person would make the same decision.
But Zhang Yang is different. If he had this idea, he wouldn't have left Tencent to open a studio.
Moreover, every word Wang Lin said hit his sore spot!
Therefore, there is only one final result.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Wang, but I have to decline. I'm happy to be an outsourcer!" Zhang Yang firmly rejected Wang Lin's invitation.
Wang Lin, who was originally full of confidence, was instantly dumbfounded. This Zhang Yang is not normal!
This was a job position that he had discussed with General Manager Zhang many times before getting it, and Zhang Yang actually didn't want it!
"Old Zhang, think it over carefully! What are your thoughts...?"
"No need to persuade me, Mr. Wang, I've made my decision." After saying that, Zhang Yang looked at Lin Lang beside him, "Mr. Lin, what brings you here today?"
This sentence also marked the official end of his conversation with Wang Lin.
Wang Lin was rejected once again. At this moment, his eyes turned to Lin Lang, his gaze filled with anger.
He feels like things won't go smoothly for him whenever Lin Lang is around; that kid is his nemesis!
Lin Lang gave Wang Lin a meaningful look, having already determined from their conversation that Zhang Yang would not agree.
After their last conversation, he knew that Zhang Yang hated this kind of work environment the most.
Even if you get promoted to manager, you still have to deal with interpersonal relationships and still can't realize your ideals.
"Brother Zhang, just like last time, design CGs for 25 game generals for us!"
Lin Lang stood up and explained his requirements.
"Ah, is this it!" Zhang Yang thought Lin Lang was here to recruit him again, but it turned out to be a new order!
Lin Lang certainly wouldn't offer to recruit them at this time; that would be inviting trouble!
"Alright, Brother Zhang, I'm leaving now. You guys chat."
After finishing his tea, Lin Lang walked to the door, paused suddenly, then turned around and said to Wang Lin:
"Mr. Wang, you've praised the wrong person! I designed the Guan Yu CG for the game last time!"
Then he looked at Zhang Yang.
"And Brother Zhang, if this CG is half successful, then you definitely deserve half! What I said last time still holds true!"
After saying that, he left, leaving Zhang Yang and Wang Lin alone in the conference room.
Wang Lin: Damn! How did you end up praising him like that?!
Back in the car, Lin Lang felt refreshed; this trip hadn't been in vain!
Not only were the tasks assigned, but they also witnessed Wang Lin's exasperated side!
Without comparison, there is no harm; now Zhang Yang will be even more inclined to consider whether or not to join Langyu Studio.
So, should we thank Wang Lin?
"I'm so happy today, Xiaotong, what would you like to eat? The boss is treating!"
I originally wanted to discuss recruitment with Zhang Yang over drinks, but with Wang Lin there, there was no need to discuss it over drinks.
Bai Xiaotong's eyes lit up. Sure enough, coming out with her boss today was a good thing!
After thinking for a while, he suddenly remembered the message his grandfather had just sent, so he spoke to Lin Lang.
"Mr. Lin, I know a really delicious home-style restaurant!"
"Okay, let's eat here then!"
And so, led by Bai Xiaotong, Lin Lang drove to a high-end residential area.
"The restaurant you mentioned... is it here?!"
Lin Lang looked around and saw nothing but villas; there was no restaurant to be found!
What does this little girl want from me after she tricked me into coming here?!
At this point, Bai Xiaotong also sincerely explained the reason:
"Mr. Lin...actually, my grandfather wanted to meet you, and I figured I had some free time, so I came over...Don't worry, I've already told my grandfather to cook; he's an amazing cook!"
Seeing Bai Xiaotong's sincere expression, she made a vow gesture.
"Could you tell me why your grandfather contacted me?"
Lin Lang voiced his doubts; he couldn't possibly know nothing at all!
Bai Xiaotong pouted and showed Lin Lang her chat history with her grandfather.
"Mr. Lin... I don't know either. My grandfather insisted on seeing you and asked me to invite you over. I thought this was a good opportunity, so I brought you along..."
Good grief, what a waste of time!
"Alright, let's talk about it when we meet!"
Lin Lang scratched his head, finding it difficult to refuse.
As the saying goes, since we're already here...
Soon, Lin Lang arrived in front of a three-story villa. Judging from the environment and the decoration, it was no cheap villa!
Now we know why Bai Xiaotong can earn 4000 yuan a month!
They're not short of money at all!
As you enter the room, you are greeted by the aroma of food.
Lin Lang immediately felt a surge of appetite. Putting everything else aside, Bai Xiaotong's grandfather's cooking skills must be excellent!
Looking around, the living room was decorated in a classic style, with solid wood furniture such as sofas and coffee tables, and an embroidered picture hanging on the wall.
It's rare to see this kind of decoration nowadays; many people's homes are modern in style, and even their own homes are minimalist.
While Lin Lang was still touring the place, Bai Guoqing came out of the kitchen and saw Lin Lang with a smile on his face.
"Young man, we meet again!"
Lin Lang looked at the white-haired old man in front of him, and his memories instantly flooded back. Wasn't this the organizer of the event held in the library last time?
I never expected it to be Bai Xiaotong's grandfather!
"Hello, hello! I really didn't expect Xiaotong's grandfather to be you!"
Lin Lang stepped forward, humbly shook hands, and greeted him.
He still respected Bai Guoqing, especially considering the current environment.
Some people are still willing to hold festival activities and insist on promoting the precious history of the Great Xia Dynasty.
This spirit is rare and precious!
"You two actually know each other!" Bai Xiaotong stood to the side with a surprised expression. How come she didn't know that her idol and grandfather knew each other!
"Hahaha, do you remember that guy Grandpa told you about before? He's President Lin!"
Bai Guoqing patted Lin Lang's hands, he was very satisfied with this young man.
Young people today are gradually forgetting the history of Great Xia, while the culture of the United States is being transmitted to them through entertainment.
This further leads to a lack of interest in the history of the Great Xia Dynasty.
This situation has developed gradually and has led to the current predicament. By the time people realize what's happening and want to stop it, it's already very difficult!
Lin Lang was able to promote history through games and generate interest among people.
This is truly a fantastic thing!
Before long, the food was ready and Bai Xiaotong brought it to the table.
Actually, she was the one who prepared all the food. After meeting Lin Lang, Bai Guoqing pulled him aside and asked him all sorts of questions, and then dragged him to see the various activities he had organized.
At the dinner table, Bai Guoqing brought out his treasured liquor to entertain Lin Lang, and the three of them enjoyed the meal very much.
Lin Lang enjoyed the delicious food and wine, and also met a history professor.
Bai Guoqing finally met Lin Lang.
But the happiest person was Bai Xiaotong.
I never even dared to imagine my idol coming home for dinner, especially since he has such a good relationship with my grandfather!
If Grandpa says a few good words about himself, he might be able to bring the two of them together.
Since you like Lin Lang so much, wouldn't it be better if he became your grandson-in-law?
After a few rounds of drinks, Bai Guoqing and Lin Lang were both quite drunk.
"Xiaolin, I'm planning to hold another event to promote history during the National Day holiday, and I'd like you to come as a special guest. What do you think?"
Bai Guoqing put down his wine glass and sincerely invited Lin Lang.
"Grandpa, what are you saying? It's my honor to participate in this kind of activity!" Lin Lang patted his chest and replied.
"Perfect timing! Our game 'Three Kingdoms Kill' is having a major update for National Day, which can help us promote it!" Bai Xiaotong interjected casually.
Seeing this, Lin Lang quickly waved his hand: "You can't say that to Xiaotong. This kind of activity is something I should participate in, how could you..."
Before Lin Lang could finish speaking, Bai Guoqing patted him on the shoulder.
"Hahaha! Sure! Why not? Listen to my suggestion, let's make it the Three Kingdoms theme for this event! 'Three Kingdoms Kill' is also a rare gem of a game!"
Seeing Bai Guoqing say this, Lin Lang couldn't refuse, so he raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp to show his respect.
As the drinking party drew to a close, both Lin Lang and Bai Guoqing had drunk too much. Originally, Lin Lang wanted to go home and not bother Bai Guoqing anymore.
Unable to resist their enthusiastic invitation, he had no choice but to stay there for the night.
Bai Xiaotong was overjoyed upon hearing the news, as her idol would be staying under the same roof with her tonight!
So she went back to her room and changed into what she considered to be her favorite set of pajamas.
She had it all planned out: she would go into the guest room under the pretense of bringing Lin Lang some hangover soup, and then accidentally climb on top of him.
Then....
Thinking of this, Bai Xiaotong was very excited. She quickly dressed up in front of the mirror and then knocked on Lin Lang's door.
Boom boom boom!
"Enter!"
As soon as Lin Lang finished speaking, Bai Xiaotong, wearing a white lace nightgown, walked towards him.
The nightgown swayed gently with her steps, the straps slipping down unintentionally, revealing her rounded shoulders and delicate collarbones, and her two fair and slender legs were exposed to the air.
Two small, delicate feet playfully curled upwards, their toes slightly curled.
Upon seeing this, Lin Lang quickly sat up in bed and placed the pillow between his legs. The scene was too beautiful!
"Why are you here?"
Bai Xiaotong revealed a triumphant smile, with faint dimples appearing on both sides of her cheeks.
"I just made a pot of hangover soup to let you know."
"Thank you, I'm sorry to trouble you." As Bai Xiaotong walked in, Lin Lang quickly steadied himself.
"Okay! See you later!" Bai Xiaotong didn't go any further, but quickly turned around and left, her nightgown floating up as she did so.
You can vaguely see the Strawberry Bear pattern.
Seeing this, Lin Lang quickly hid under the covers. Only after Bai Xiaotong left did he peek out and gasp for air.
This girl has such poor safety awareness!
Lin Lang closed his eyes and rubbed his head, the scene from earlier resurfacing in his mind.
No! No! I need to go to sleep right away!
Under the influence of self-hypnosis and alcohol, Lin Lang drifted into a deep sleep.
Meanwhile, Bai Xiaotong in the kitchen had just finished making a hangover soup and had the next steps planned out clearly in her mind, striving to win over Lin Lang as soon as possible!
But just as she entered the guest room, ready to show off her skills, she discovered that Lin Lang had fallen asleep!
Seeing this, Bai Xiaotong bit her lip and stomped her foot angrily: "If I had known it would be like this, I would have made the soup earlier!"
Seeing his handsome sleeping face, Bai Xiaotong lost her temper and squatted down to take a photo with him.
"We still need to keep working hard!"
