Chapter 203

Qiao Suisui took the microphone passed by the host and said: "A truly good game is a dream that people don't want to wake up from."

Her voice was clear and firm, as if carrying some kind of magic, attracting everyone's attention. The whole venue fell into silence, and everyone's eyes were focused on her.

"Games are not just simple programs and pictures; they are more of an art, a form of cultural expression. They allow us to experience emotions and adventures that we cannot experience in reality in a virtual world."

The whole venue was silent. Although her answer was concise, it instantly aroused everyone's interest.

The speaker's eyes lit up, clearly very interested in her answer, so he said: "Please continue."

Qiao Suisui took a deep breath and continued: "A good game, besides exquisite pictures and complex gameplay, is more importantly about creating an immersive world for players, allowing players to find resonance and emotional sustenance in it. It can be a safe haven for people to escape reality, or a stage for people to challenge themselves."

She paused, lowered her eyes, thinking of everything she had experienced in that world... She remembered their voices, remembered their body temperature, remembered what they had said, remembered the moving moments they had brought her.

After a moment of distraction, Qiao Suisui looked around the venue, seeing pairs of eyes looking at her, and continued: "In 'Bi Xue Lu,' what I see is not just a game, but a lifestyle. Through carefully designed characters and plots, it makes players not just participants, but a part of this world. Every choice, every battle, is shaping the player's own story."

The speaker couldn't help but nod, expressing agreement.

"Who is she? She actually speaks so well!"

"Since when did our class have such a spirited girl?"

"Damn, what she said just now completely pointed out the feeling I had playing 'Bi Xue Lu'! Why couldn't I say it!"

At this time, the students also whispered, clearly shocked and impressed by her knowledge and ability to express herself. The teachers were also attracted by Qiao Suisui's answer and asked about her identity one after another.

"Is this your student?"

"How is that possible? She seems to be a freshman?"

"I've seen her before, this is Teacher Guan's student."

Several teachers cast their eyes toward Guan Weizhi one after another, only to see the man sitting in the front row leisurely, looking ahead, as if he didn't care about his student's situation, but a rare smile appeared on the corners of his mouth.

"... So I think a truly good game should be able to stimulate players' emotions, allowing them to find themselves in the game. It should have depth and breadth, not just entertainment, but an experience and exploration. Letting players find meaning in the game—this is the true value of a good game."

The whole venue burst into warm applause, and many students showed appreciative expressions. Guan Weizhi's expression also seemed to melt like ice and snow, which was particularly different from his usual cold appearance.

The speaker smiled and said: "This student's answer is very brilliant. It can be seen that she has a deep understanding and love for games. Such enthusiasm and insight are exactly what our team needs."

Qiao Suisui bowed slightly and sat back in her seat.

After the lecture, the speaker didn't even have time to say a few words to the school leaders and went straight down the stage to shake hands with Guan Weizhi: "Little President Guan, I didn't know you were coming today. Do you have time later? How about inviting you to taste new dishes at Dingfuzhuang? It just so happens that President Qiao has been wanting to make an appointment with you to report and talk about our Q3 quarterly financial report..."

The speaker was saying this when he saw Guan Weizhi gesture to stop. He immediately stopped speaking, smiling decently, looking like he was listening.

Guan Weizhi's gaze searched among a crowd of black heads, and in a moment, he found Qiao Suisui, who was queuing to walk out of the venue. He curled his lips and smiled, saying to the speaker: "Dreke, does your project team lack a management trainee?" Dreke thought quickly for a few seconds, then followed Guan Weizhi's gaze and instantly understood.

"Yes, Little President Guan. If the female student who just spoke could join, it would be great."

Guan Weizhi pretended to be troubled and said: "But the little one is only a freshman. Aren't you guys wanting to recruit seniors this time?"

Dreke's mouth was always chasing his brain. As a human resources director, he was already a master among masters. He revealed a standard smile and said flawlessly: "Excellent talents always need to be snatched. We can make an exception to give an offer. The company side is easy to talk about, but I don't know if the school can..."

Dreke's eyes looked at the school leaders, containing a hint of suggestion.

The school leaders were also old hands at such scenes, and their brains turned very fast. He smiled generously and stated: "Our school policy is to let every student exert their value. If there is a good opportunity, we will definitely not block it."

Several men just used these few sentences to omit the cumbersome procedures that originally required layer-by-layer review and evaluation, directly finalizing it on the spot.

Guan Weizhi nodded, showing a rare hint of a smile, and shook hands with the school side and Dreke respectively. "Then I will thank you on behalf of my student."

As soon as this sentence was said, it was explicitly telling others that Qiao Suisui was someone he valued, and he valued her to the point of paving the way for her personally.

Dreke kept saying "I understand."

That evening, Qiao Suisui was doing her last part-time job at 7-Eleven, and Lin Xixi came to find her to play. She was taking down rice balls that were past their expiration date from the refrigerator. Lin Xixi grabbed one, unwrapped it, and took a bite, saying while chewing: "It's only been expired for a second, don't waste it. I'll help you solve it!"

Qiao Suisui smiled and told her to eat slowly. At this time, a strange number called in.

After the other party made a simple self-introduction, they explained the purpose of the call: to invite her to become a member of the new game project team.

Qiao Suisui was a bit surprised, then cautiously confirmed: "But I'm only a freshman this year..."

"You don't need to worry about this point. I have already fought for it with the company. I have made a simple understanding of your situation with your tutor, and the company indicates that you can fully utilize your time when you don't have classes to learn and practice, and participate in the development and creation of our new game. This is my contact information. You are welcome to come to me at any time, and we can talk in detail then."

Qiao Suisui thanked him gratefully, asked for the company address, and after adding Dreke on WeChat, she still felt it was incredible that this opportunity had fallen on her.

She told Lin Xixi blankly: "I think I can go intern at Zhenge..."

Lin Xixi's eyes widened. She had gossiped about everything that happened to Qiao Suisui today as soon as she arrived. Now hearing that this matter had really succeeded, she was even more excited than Qiao Suisui.

Lin Xixi hugged Qiao Suisui and shouted "That's great." One had to know that Zhenge was one of the top 10 big companies in the country. If she could intern there, leaving aside whether she could stay, just having that experience written into her resume would beat 80% of fresh graduates!

Across the street, the black Maybach was parked in an inconspicuous place. The man in the car looked at the two girls laughing and playing together through the glass of the 7-Eleven, and couldn't help but curl his lips.

Old Tang looked through the rearview mirror and saw the gentleness and relief in Guan Weizhi's eyes that he hadn't even noticed himself. His usually sharp facial contours were so soft at this moment... He also followed with a smile that looked "worthless."

Guan Weizhi believed that regardless of whether he helped or not, Qiao Suisui's future would be incomparably brilliant. And he suddenly felt that the process of accompanying her growth for more than a year was so short. He wanted to watch her smile forever and ever, watch her change from a school uniform to professional attire, watch her hair grow long and short, short and long... Tomorrow, switch to the game world perspective. (End of chapter)
