At the start, I tricked the school beauty, and ended up with twins?

Now that Zheng Shou knew who had been slandering him behind his back, he already had plans in mind.

This was merely an interlude, more importantly, was to discuss the collaboration with Lin Muqing.

Lin Muqing was Gu Yu's father-in-law, which alone was reason enough for Zheng Shou to take him seriously.

The two of them made merry over drinks, discussing the collaboration while drinking, and quickly settled the operational details.

It was nearing eleven o'clock, and most of the lights in Linlang Restaurant had been turned off.

But since Gu Yu and his party had not yet left, the waitstaff still had to stay on duty.

"It's getting late, let's continue our discussion about the collaboration with your company at Shengda tomorrow!"

Zheng Shou glanced at his watch, then suggested.

Lin Muqing nodded in agreement; today had made him incredibly happy. Not only had the business talks gone smoothly, but he had also made the acquaintance of someone like Zheng Shou.

This would definitely be of great help to his company's future development.

And all of this, thanks to his daughter's boyfriend Gu Yu.

"Zheng, this last drink, I toast to you!"

Lin Muqing was a bit tipsy, but he insisted on standing up to toast Zheng Shou one last drink.

Zheng Shou wasn't vague either and downed the drink in one go.

All three men stood up, and the head waiter who had been waiting outside the partition came in.

"Gentlemen, Linlang Restaurant has arranged designated drivers for you to ensure you get home safely!"

The three men looked at each other, impressed by the restaurant's thoughtful service.

However, Gu Yu had already received Xinyue's "order" to take good care of his future father-in-law, so he had not touched a drop of alcohol during the entire meal and thus declined the restaurant's offer.

Zheng Shou, on the other hand, had obviously come by car alone, and it would definitely not be convenient for him to drive home.

Gu Yu thought for a moment, took out his wallet, and from it, he handed five hundred-yuan notes to the head waiter.

"Please take good care of Manager Zheng."

"No problem, I will go back with Manager Zheng."

The head waiter accepted Gu Yu's tip with open arms.

After all, this wasn't any secretive business.

It's only right to perform duties for the reward received.

"Mr. Gu, you're too polite; now that a designated driver has been called, I'll manage to get back just fine."

Zheng Shou quickly waved his hand, but before he could try to walk a few steps, he started to stagger.

Clearly, he was too inebriated to stand firm.

Gu Yu quickly supported him, "Manager Zheng, since I'm the one who invited you, naturally I must ensure you get home safely. Also, you don't have to keep calling me Mr. Gu, just call me 'Yu'."

When Zheng Shou heard this, his heart immediately leapt with joy.

Gu Yu was making an effort to bond with him!

Tonight's drinking session was truly worthwhile!

As long as he could firmly connect with Gu Yu, whom, if spoke highly of him to the higher-ups in the future, would surely lead to smooth sailing in his career!

"Alright, then I'll call you 'Yu' from now on! Even though I'm drunk, I'll remember this very clearly!"

Zheng Shou said with a smile on his face.

Gu Yu supported him with one hand, and with the other, he supported Lin Muqing, leading both men to the door.

He asked the sub-manager to help watch over Zheng Shou for a moment while he first settled his father-in-law in the car, then turned back to help Zheng Shou into the vehicle.

"Old Zheng, our Ideal Paradise is launching a new product in a few days, and we'll need your help with the operations," Gu Yu said, patting Zheng Shou's shoulder and without waiting for a reply, he closed the car door and left.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Leaning back on the leather seat, Zheng Shou sobered up somewhat.

Gu Yu's company had developed a new mobile game? Wasn't that too fast?

It hadn't even been half a month since their last product launch, and here was another new one?

Which company is putting out products this quickly?

If someone else had come and told Zheng Shou this, he would definitely have thought it was a joke.

But the person telling him this was Gu Yu, and he knew that Gu Yu was almost certainly not joking with him.

So it's true!

Ideal Paradise has another new product out!

And from what Gu Yu said, they had chosen to collaborate with their mobile game operations department this time!

Zheng Shou was thrilled.

Though the Life Restart Simulator was very popular, fast-paced games like it had a significant drawback, which was that their popularity couldn't last long.

It had been less than a month, and the popularity had already dropped significantly from when it was first launched.

If it continued like this, he estimated that in less than half a month, they wouldn't be able to attract new players to the mobile game platform anymore.

This was the problem Zheng Shou had been suffering from.

Though the simulator was popular, and there was no mistaking it had brought him millions of daily active players, the biggest problem was its lack of longevity—it couldn't consistently bring in players.

Once enough time passed, everyone would familiarize themselves with the game mode and grow tired of it.

The players they had attracted would eventually leave.

And then, the Shengda Mobile Game Platform that had been so hard to revive would revert to its previous lethargic state.

Knowing this, he had always been on the lookout for new mobile games that could rival the simulator, trying to operate these games.

But without exception, they had basically all failed.

Though a few products had seen minor success, they were like a single drop of water in a pond, making no real impact.

Watching the operations department continuously decline was one thing, but watching it revive only to fall again was a completely different feeling.

One scenario was never having hope.

The other was being given hope and then losing it once more.

Clearly, the latter was much harder to accept.

So he had been searching for new products, and his busyness during this period had made him lose over five pounds!

Keep in mind that this was just over the past week!

Zheng Shou wanted to seize this opportunity, to rise on the updraft created by the simulator!

Now, on the Shengda Mobile Game Platform, most games were of simulator type but showed mediocre performance.

The simulator from Ideal Paradise seemed to have become a classic, and no subsequent games, no matter how hard they tried, could surpass this masterpiece.

Zheng Shou had almost lost hope when Gu Yu suddenly told him today that Ideal Paradise had a new product!

He asked him to make arrangements?

Zheng Shou felt reinvigorated.

A company capable of creating a classic can often produce another product that surpasses the classic.

He believed Ideal Paradise had that strength!

Because he had already bound himself to Ideal Paradise!

"Mr. Zheng, are you going home now?" The head waitress sitting in the front passenger seat turned to look at Zheng Shou.

She noticed Zheng Shou had suddenly become much more alert for some reason.

Zheng Shou hesitated for a moment, then shook his head, "No, I'm not going back. Could you please have the valet take me to the Shengda Game Building instead?"

The head waitress nodded, then told the valet, "To the Shengda Game Building."

The car started, and Zheng Shou watched the streetlights pass by outside the window.

He was destined not to sleep tonight.

No matter what, he had to quickly integrate the platform's resources and reserve them for Ideal Paradise's new product!

"Ideal Paradise… it really might help me achieve my dreams after all..."

Zheng Shou felt emotional.
