CHAPTER 823: CHAPTER 724: DISLOCATED LIVES 22

As soon as Zhu Wanpeng came out, he saw his secretary smiling broadly at a young girl, chatting away as if they were old friends. Zhu Wanpeng’s secretary had been his close friend since primary school, and he knew very well how serious he was. He hardly ever smiled at work.

But now he was having a sincere conversation with this young girl. Remembering what the assistant mentioned earlier about a young girl coming to sell game software, it was clear this girl was the one.

Being able to connect so well with the serious Secretary Chen was no small feat. Being good at social interactions is a big advantage in business.

Right then, Zhu Wanpeng decided that as long as he found the girl’s game software interesting, he would keep it. He also thought about recruiting her into his company, as she was indeed talented.

This thought passed through Zhu Wanpeng’s mind in just a moment. As he entered, Secretary Chen and Wen Shuangshuang were already standing up. Secretary Chen introduced, "Boss, this is Wen Shuangshuang, who came to our company to sell game software. Shuangshuang, this is our company’s president, Mr. Zhu Wanpeng."

Wen Shuangshuang reached out to Zhu Wanpeng with a smile and said, "Hello, Mr. Zhu, it’s a pleasure to meet you. I’m Wen Shuangshuang, here to sell a piece of game software I’ve developed. Thank you for taking the time to meet me."

Zhu Wanpeng smiled amiably and shook hands with Wen Shuangshuang, "Young girls nowadays are really impressive. To be so young and already able to program software—it’s admirable. When I was your age, I was just goofing around."

They exchanged pleasantries and then sat down. As soon as Zhu Wanpeng sat, he was about to discuss the game software with Wen Shuangshuang, but she got straight to the point.

"Mr. Zhu, the game software I developed must be played on a computer, and it requires matching glasses to play. The biggest advantage of this game is that it allows experiencing realistic scenery.

You might think what I’m saying sounds a bit exaggerated, but I’ve brought everything with me. You can get a computer, and I’ll install it for you to experience yourself. If you feel my claims are true, we can discuss pricing, but if you’re not satisfied, I won’t bother you any further."

Indeed, Zhu Wanpeng found Wen Shuangshuang’s claims hard to believe. According to her, her game used the popular 3D technology. As far as he knew, while there were 3D games, they were generally short and couldn’t match traditional games in leveling up, defeating monsters, or interacting with others.

Moreover, 3D games required specialized equipment that not everyone could afford, making them impossible to promote widely. Now someone tells him they’ve developed game software that offers a real 3D experience with just glasses and a computer. It seemed too good to be true.

However, as Wen Shuangshuang said, she had brought her stuff along, so there was no harm in checking it out. He wasn’t worried about this young girl pulling any tricks on the company’s president. Admittedly, though skeptical, he was curious and wanted to see if her game software was as miraculous as she claimed.

With a quick instruction, Secretary Chen had a high-performance laptop ready in less than five minutes. Wen Shuangshuang immediately connected her data cables and files, installed the game software, and prepared the glasses.

Zhu Wanpeng also sat down, a bit curious about experiencing the truly realistic game world Wen Shuangshuang described. But before he could put the glasses on, the office door swung open, and in walked a handsome teenager dressed casually.

The three people in the room, totaling six eyes, turned sharply to look, startling the young man who had just entered. Seeing the boy, Wen Shuangshuang was a bit surprised because she had recently met him with Fang Zhijin—it’s Zhu Shihao!

Zhu Shihao hadn’t expected this. He came to his uncle’s company to escape his strict, disciplinarian father, only to walk in on his uncle, Secretary Chen, and an unknown young girl all staring at him. Being suddenly scrutinized by all of them made him a bit uneasy.

Zhu Shihao glanced at his uncle, then at the glasses in his uncle’s hand, shaped like swimming goggles, and the young girl standing very close, too close, to his uncle.

If Secretary Chen weren’t there, he might think his uncle was being unfaithful to his aunt with a young girl!

Zhu Wanpeng rubbed his forehead, remembering his nephew’s habit of directly entering his office. Thankfully, Zhu Shihao wasn’t an outsider, so it didn’t matter if he stayed. He wasn’t worried about Zhu Shihao leaking anything.

Zhu Shihao was family, and thus, Zhu Wanpeng didn’t feel the need to introduce him specially. He said to Wen Shuangshuang, "Miss Wen, this is my nephew, Zhu Shihao. He’s probably here to hang out. You don’t need to mind him. Let’s continue."

Wen Shuangshuang only paused for a moment when she saw Zhu Shihao, without any significant feelings. She nodded upon hearing he was Zhu Wanpeng’s nephew, without giving it more thought. She opened the game interface, but as soon as it launched, the laptop screen went black.

Zhu Wanpeng was startled, thinking the laptop was malfunctioning, but Wen Shuangshuang smiled and said, "Mr. Zhu, don’t be alarmed. This is the game’s startup screen. The real scenes can only be seen after you put on the glasses, meaning only the player can see the interface now. Let me put the glasses on for you, and you can experience it yourself. The gameplay is easy to follow; just follow the prompts."

With that, Wen Shuangshuang helped Zhu Wanpeng put on the glasses. The design was tailor-made for her, with a soft material that felt as if nothing was there, providing no discomfort or sense of pressure.

Though they resembled glasses, they actually contained a magnifying lens with two mini-computers behind it, designed to interact with the visual nerves, allowing people to see the game world crafted by Wen Shuangshuang.

As soon as Zhu Wanpeng put on the glasses, he sat up straight in his chair, first gasping in surprise, then suddenly leaning back and exclaiming. Secretary Chen and Zhu Shihao immediately gathered around, asking nervously, "Boss | Uncle, what’s wrong?"

Zhu Wanpeng’s body stiffened for a moment, then relaxed again, his tone filled with wonder, "It’s nothing, I was just amazed by the realism of this game. This game, it’s truly astonishing! So magical!" His voice was laden with awe and astonishment.
