Chapter 101: Is Lu Yu Leaving Grand?

Grand is indeed the hottest game company at this stage, and many even say Grand is the top game company domestically.

But……

Frankly speaking, there are still quite a few companies domestically with greater overall strength than Grand.

Moreover…… some large overseas game companies have opened branches in China.

They too can be considered part of the domestic gaming scene.

So……

Although Legend is indeed currently the number-one online game domestically, Grand is still far from being the top game company in the country.

But of course, at this point in the domestic gaming world, no one can overlook Chen Qiao anymore.

Just like now.

Chen Qiao and Lu Yu entered the venue together, and immediately a large crowd gathered around them, continually exchanging pleasantries with Chen Qiao.

"Director Chen, how did you come up with a game like Legend? Many of its mechanics are simply brain‑blowing, leaving people in awe."

"Director Chen, do you still have plans to develop games? If funding is lacking, you could consider our company; we only ask for a small share, and mainly we just want to learn from you."

"Director Chen, is Grand preparing to expand its scale? I happen to have an empty office building on hand; if you need it, Director Chen, you can find me anytime—money isn't important."

In a short time, Chen Qiao became the center of the entire venue.

By the way, at this moment no one mentioned Lu Yu, and they didn't even glance at him.

But…… it's obvious they weren't ignoring Lu Yu.

On the contrary……

When they approached Chen Qiao, they deliberately kept distance from Lu Yu to avoid bumping into him.

Their gaze hardly ever fell on Lu Yu.

It's clear they noticed Lu Yu; indeed…… perhaps their thoughts were more on Lu Yu than on Chen Qiao.

The reason they didn't flock to Lu Yu as they did to Chen Qiao is simply because…… Lu Yu looks like nothing more than a seven‑year‑old child.

They had no prior experience dealing with such children; saying or doing more might just be superfluous.

Rather, it's better not to act for now and just observe first.

As for this, Lu Yu actually had no objection; he even welcomed it.

No disturbances—that couldn't be better.

As for the troublesome matters, let Chen Qiao handle them.

Just as the crowd was lively chatting with Chen Qiao, the crowd suddenly split apart.

Someone walked over toward this side.

Mr. Qin!

Naturally, only Mr. Qin could command such prestige here.

Although Sword and Far Away lost to Legend, anyone can see Mr. Qin's ability and energy.

He is someone worth noting not just in the gaming world.

Mr. Qin went straight to Chen Qiao.

But…… his gaze fell on Lu Yu.

"This should be our third meeting." Mr. Qin said directly to Lu Yu.

Lu Yu nodded lightly.

"The first time we met, I didn't have a chance to say anything to you."

"The second time we met, we didn't exchange a single word."

"This time, I want to have a proper talk with you; I don't want to miss the opportunity again."

Mr. Qin's eyes stared straight at Lu Yu, without hiding the sharpness of his gaze.

Lu Yu raised his brows slightly, did not dodge, and looked at Mr. Qin, saying: "So, what do you have to say to me?"

"Your talent should have been proven."

"Whether it's skill, game design, or operations, you are the strongest opponent I've ever seen."

"So…… come to Grand Plan, let's fight side by side; not just domestically, even globally there are hardly any who could match us."

"As for funding, platform, and every obstacle, you can rest assured."

"I can guarantee here that I will let your talent blossom at one hundred twenty percent."

Mr. Qin said this.

His voice was full of confidence and resolve, his eyes blazing.

These are his heartfelt words, making them all the more genuine and shocking.

Lu Yu actually had no doubt about Mr. Qin's determination and ability.

He believed that as long as he lowered his head now, Mr. Qin could meet all his demands.

Their joint effort could indeed dominate the world, at least in the gaming industry.

But……

"You can take your time to consider; I have plenty of time, and so do you."

"When you've made up your mind, come find me; I'll be waiting for you."

Having said that, Mr. Qin paid no heed to Lu Yu's reaction and walked straight off to the side.

Then……

Those around glanced at Chen Qiao, then at Lu Yu, and tactfully dispersed in all directions.

……

How is Chen Qiao feeling right now?

It's certainly unpleasant, but besides being unpleasant, there are many complex emotions.

Mr. Qin's blatant poaching of people makes him unable to keep from getting angry.

But...

Upon careful thought, what Mr. Qin said is actually not wrong.

Grand is indeed now considered a top-tier Game Company, and Chen Qiao also has the ability and connections, but...

Compared to someone like Mr. Qin, who has foreign capital backing him and sufficient domestic influence, Chen Qiao is indeed still considerably inferior.

At the very least, for now, Chen Qiao simply cannot provide Lu Yu with a global stage.

But Mr. Qin can!

So...

Chen Qiao is indeed worried that Lu Yu will leave him, leave Grand.

Since Lu Yu came to Grand, what has Chen Qiao given Lu Yu?

It has always been Lu Yu helping Grand.

One could even say that without Lu Yu, Grand might already have gone bankrupt!

So, if Lu Yu wants to leave, Chen Qiao not only has no reason to stop him, but should even see him off with gratitude.

Thinking of this, Chen Qiao couldn't help but take a deep breath, then looked toward Lu Yu.

At this moment, Lu Yu's expression is calm, just like usual; there's really no way to read his emotions from his face.

Chen Qiao hesitated a moment, then said to Lu Yu: 'Xiao Yu, if you want to leave Grand, I... I will support you; you deserve better.'

Lu Yu chuckled and said: 'So, Uncle Chen, you want me to leave Grand?'

Chen Qiao opened his mouth, but the words at the edge of his lips were swallowed back.

Finally, he took another deep breath and said: 'Just look at your own choice.'

I can only say that Grand's doors will always be open for you.

But if you have other choices, I will also support you.

That's what I think.

Lu Yu lightly nodded, and didn't say much more.

Chen Qiao... after saying these words, felt his whole self relax considerably.

He glanced at Lu Yu again, but didn't continue speaking.

What needed to be said has been said.

Moreover, Chen Qiao also knows that Lu Yu is someone with strong opinions; once he decides something, no one can change it.
