Chapter 9

Then let's decide like that.

Xiao Yu will first settle in Mo Du; as for whether to follow Lao Li in study or put more effort into Grand, we'll discuss later.

Now... let's eat.

Chen Qiao is a decisive person; he quickly made a decision.

Then...

Lu Yu wasn't very happy with this meal.

He's a seven-year-old kid; how big can his stomach be?

Twelve dishes were placed on the table.

He Sui habitually gives the good stuff to Lu Yu, while Lao Li and Chen Qiao serve him vegetables in a competitive manner.

So...

Lu Yu really wanted to protest the injustice of this bowl.

It bore a weight too heavy for its volume.

That's just outrageous!

After the meal, Lao Li was the first to approach He Sui.

"He Sui, you probably don't have a place to stay in Mo Du yet? The housing prices here are relatively high, and the environment isn't great either."

"How about this: you and Xiao Yu come to Magic Capital University together, and I'll free up a teacher's dorm for you."

"You also know the environment at the school is good, with only students and teachers; such an atmosphere is helpful for Xiao Yu's growth."

Lao Li knows Lu Yu is a filial child, so he wants to directly persuade He Sui.

Yes, Chen Qiao's suggestion just now was good, but...

Where Lu Yu lives and who he interacts with most will naturally affect him more!

Lao Li must firmly grasp Lu Yu!

Truly devoted!

Chen Qiao frowned tightly; he was careless!

Everyone keeps talking about old silver coins, old silver coins... how could we forget that Lao Li is the president of Mo Du Institute of Technology!

"Well... Lao Li, I actually already prepared accommodation for Xiao Yu, in Soup First Class, the residential complex where I live."

"The environment at Mo Du Institute of Technology is not bad, but it's indeed a bit outdated."

"Also, you know that those living in Soup First Class are either rich or noble, all prominent people in society."

"Although the school only has students and teachers residing, the numbers are too many, so ultimately it's unscreened."

Chen Qiao's counterattack this time can be called textbook-perfect!

Whether considering long-term plans or the simplest objective living conditions, he completely outshines Lao Li!

Lao Li couldn't help but glare fiercely at Chen Qiao; this friend... better not do it!

Chen Qiao shrugged: I think the same.

"Um... thank you both, but... Xiao Yu, where do you want to live?" He Sui still looked at Lu Yu; Lu Yu is her life.

Before, she worked as a cleaner and lived with Xiao Yu in the most shabby place, yet she still made it here!

As long as Xiao Yu is happy and has a future, she... doesn't care!

Lu Yu pondered for a moment, then said: "How about we still live with Uncle? After all, it's Uncle who brought us here."

Lu Yu has considered it; in terms of living environment, Soup First Class is naturally better,

He wants He Sui to live more comfortably.

Since he has transmigrated here, and since He Sui is his mother, he wants her to enjoy the best.

As for going to Mo Du Electronic University?

Is it easier to receive teachers' guidance at the university?

Lu Yu really hasn't thought about that!

Get to know the technology that's twenty years ahead of this era.

Get to know the consciousness that's twenty years ahead of this era!

"Hmph! Chen Qiao!" Lao Li's face instantly turned cold, his gaze at Chen Qiao like looking at his father's killer.

If it were before, Chen Qiao would indeed feel a bit afraid, but now...

He glanced at Lu Yu with a squinting smile.

Lao Li, do you want to sever all ties with me and never interact again?

Then you don't want to see Lu Yu again, do you?

Lao Li: You're ruthless!

Hahaha...

With Lu Yu in hand, I have the world!

This is an era of rapid domestic development, but also an era of scarcity.

People's material lives are beginning to be secured, but their spiritual lives have not yet caught up.

That is... they're full and have nothing to do.

Games naturally became people's best way to pass time.

But now... online games basically can't be played; single-player games?

Just those same old three things that haven't changed in ten thousand years!

Even if in love, no matter how deeply one loves, it will gradually become bland.

It was under these circumstances that Lu Yu developed Plants vs. Zombies.

Chen Qiao and all Grand employees who had playtested the game gave a review: This game not becoming a hit is against heaven's principle!

At that moment, inside Grand's meeting room.

Chen Qiao sat in the chief seat.

The employees who came to the company today, including the operations team, including the development team, including the after-sales team...

Every single one had come to the meeting room.

"Today I have an important matter to announce."

Chen Qiao cleared his throat, drawing everyone's attention.

"This matter will concern the survival or demise of our Grand!"

"Yes, you've all guessed it."

"Next, Grand will release the Plants vs. Zombies developed by Lu Yu!"

Chen Qiao's voice carried absolute determination, his eyes full of the resolve to face death as if returning home.

The colleagues below, however, couldn't help but be stunned.

"Plants vs. Zombies is indeed a good game, it will surely become a hit."

"But how does this involve Grand's survival?"

"I have already made a decision; this time we will promote Plants vs. Zombies nationwide uniformly."

"I will mobilize whatever resources I can."

"I believe in Lu Yu, I believe in Plants vs. Zombies."

"So, I hope you can lend me a hand!"

Silence, as Chen Qiao's voice fell, the entire meeting room fell completely silent.

"I will mobilize whatever resources I can?"

"That sentence sounds simple, but... this is Chen Qiao speaking!"

"Who is Chen Qiao?"

"Grand's founder!"

"How extensive is his network?"

"Never mind anything else, isn't the president of Mo Du University of Electronic Science and Technology his ageless friend?"

"Chen Qiao's classmates, Chen Qiao's friends..."

"Perhaps the entire domestic IT industry will be set in motion!"

"And all of this, just because of Plants vs. Zombies?"

"Or rather, all of this is just because of a seven-year-old child!"

"President Chen trusts Lu Yu this much?"

"Next, I want you to come up with at least three promotion plans, in detail!"

"This time, we cannot afford to fail!"

Chen Qiao said as such.

Then...

Then the meeting room began a wave after wave of brainstorming.

A morning seemed to pass in the blink of an eye; everyone in the office felt dizzy, eyes blurred, mouth dry, tongue parched, but...

Having gathered all of Grand's top talent, after an entire morning of discussion, yet... still not a single proposal could satisfy Chen Qiao.

His expression grew increasingly grim and unsightly.

Crack!

But at that moment, the meeting room's doors were pushed open.

Everyone's gaze immediately turned toward the door.

Then, they saw a small figure.

"Xiao Yu? How did you get here?" Chen Qiao spoke immediately.
