CHAPTER 825: CHAPTER 726: DISLOCATED LIVES 24

But such rare training opportunities are too few, negotiating business alone with the president of a big company is something one must learn to master a company. Wen Jianyun and Liu Yun are hoping that Wen Shuangshuang will take over their company in the future, so they naturally can’t miss such an opportunity.

With the mindset of giving Wen Shuangshuang some experience, earning some pocket money if the deal goes well, or considering it tuition if it doesn’t, Wen Jianyun and Liu Yun suppressed their urge to help Wen Shuangshuang negotiate, fully letting her handle it on her own.

Ah! Ouch! Bang! Pop! Ouch!

Just as Wen Shuangshuang reported to her parents and stood up, preparing to dine with Zhu Wanpeng and discuss the sale of the game software Ascension to God, they suddenly heard a series of noises from one side.

Wen Shuangshuang and Zhu Wanpeng were caught off guard, and scared by this sudden series of sounds, their hearts skipped a beat. They turned around to see Zhu Shihao, who had been as quiet as an invisible person, lying face-up on the floor in front of the computer, with the chair Zhu Wanpeng had been sitting in also toppled over to the side.

It turned out that Zhu Shihao, curious about how addictive the game Wen Shuangshuang brought was, took the opportunity of Wen Shuangshuang and Zhu Wanpeng chatting to secretly take the glasses Zhu Wanpeng had placed on the table and put them on his own eyes.

Then he was so shocked by the realistic scene before him, unable to differentiate if he had entered the game or traveled through time, that he let out a shout, and just after his shout, similar to what happened to Zhu Wanpeng before, he was startled by a mount in the game and couldn’t help but holler.

After shouting, he instinctively retreated backward in fear. Before, Zhu Wanpeng was scared into retreating while sitting on the chair, so nothing happened.

But Zhu Shihao was standing in front of the computer, and as he dodged and stepped back, he bumped into the chair and knocked it over with a loud crash.

Wearing the glasses, Zhu Shihao couldn’t see his surroundings, and the loud crash startled him as well, causing him to slip and fall hard on his back, letting out an ’ouch’ in pain.

Zhu Wanpeng twitched his mouth; earlier, he had just thought it was perfect that his nephew was here, and since Zhu Shihao was an excellent child, he planned to let Zhu Shihao build a relationship with Wen Shuangshuang over dinner, thinking that, being of the same age, they might have common topics to chat about. Who knew his nephew would act foolishly in the blink of an eye.

In the past, Zhu Wanpeng also thought his nephew was extremely outstanding, always ranking first in his grade and having won a championship in international Olympiads, bringing glory to the country, something to be proud of.

But now, Zhu Wanpeng felt that this nephew really couldn’t compare to the girl in front of him; no matter how smart Zhu Shihao was, he couldn’t match Wen Shuangshuang, who managed to develop such an impressive game software as Ascension to God.

This game software not only pioneered a new real visual system but also innovated the number of game maps, with nearly a thousand game maps creating a visual feast, where entering the game and simply enjoying the scenery was satisfying enough.

The thought of the game’s scenery made Zhu Wanpeng itch to explore, and he had just seen a dozen maps, wondering what great sights the other maps contained.

While feeling itchy, Zhu Wanpeng admired Wen Shuangshuang even more, acknowledging that developing such an incredibly perfect game software required an extensive knowledge base.

In terms of her current achievements in computer technology, Wen Shuangshuang could easily outshine even the top national computer experts.

Though Zhu Wanpeng had never been married, he had always acted like a parent to his beloved nephew Zhu Shihao, often so proud of him being "someone else’s outstanding kid" but never understood the feelings of other parents when seeing other people’s talented children.

Now, Zhu Wanpeng finally experienced that feeling of jealous admiration for other parents after seeing "someone else’s kid" in front of him.

With complicated thoughts, Zhu Wanpeng went over to help Zhu Shihao, who was lying on the ground and reluctant to remove the glasses, pulling him up with some force before taking the glasses off his head. Yet, Zhu Shihao was unwilling to let go of the glasses, reluctantly putting up a struggle until Zhu Wanpeng forcibly managed to take them down.

Once the glasses were off, Zhu Shihao showed a look of reluctance, his eyes still fixated on the glasses in Zhu Wanpeng’s hand, vividly replaying the images he had just seen in his mind.

Zhu Shihao felt as if he had uncovered a corner of an incredibly beautiful world, and though he only pulled back a corner, that stunning world was deeply imprinted on his mind, making him unable to forget it or return from that world.

Zhu Wanpeng actually understood Zhu Shihao’s state because he too found that beautiful game world irresistible. Holding the glasses was tempting even to him, but he resisted the lure of the game due to his strong self-control and the urgency to retain the talented Wen Shuangshuang.

Because this game was so enticing even to him, Zhu Wanpeng was certain that the game would become hugely successful, for even someone like him, who had played so many games that he felt numb, found it so captivating. One could easily imagine its appeal to ordinary people.

Pulling along Zhu Shihao, who was still longing for the glasses, Zhu Wanpeng, Secretary Chen, Wen Shuangshuang, and the absent-minded Zhu Shihao got into the car heading straight for the Lijing Hotel. Secretary Chen had already made the reservations, and the hotel’s kitchen had begun preparing the meal.

When the four of them arrived, they were seated and the dishes were promptly served without waiting. While Wen Shuangshuang went to wash her hands, Zhu Wanpeng pulled the distracted Zhu Shihao aside, grinding his teeth as he reminded him.

"Pull yourself together and get your head out of that game; you and Shuangshuang are the same age, even if you can’t compare to her, you’re still better than many of your peers, so you should have some common ground.

Later, make sure to get closer to Shuangshuang, earn her goodwill, and help your uncle get her to agree to sell the game software to us."

Seeing that Zhu Shihao still seemed unfocused, Zhu Wanpeng couldn’t help but knock on his head, "Can you have some ambition? If Shuangshuang sells the game software to us, you can play as many games as you want in the future; I can even let you preview it before it officially launches.

But if this falls through and Shuangshuang sells the game to another company, I can’t guarantee when you’ll get to play it."

This immediately woke Zhu Shihao up. He sat up straight, promising not to disappoint his uncle and to ensure he built a good relationship with her.

In fact, Zhu Shihao was also curious about Wen Shuangshuang. He had secretly observed her for a long time today, but after seeing the game she developed, her excellence instilled a significant sense of pressure in him.
