At the start, I tricked the school beauty, and ended up with twins?

Bo Jia panicked a bit, "No! Please don't! Chairman, please don't fire us! We'll go rest right now!"

Gu Yu's words frightened him so much that he hurriedly ran out of the company and quickly hailed a taxi to go home to rest.

When the others heard Gu Yu mention firing, they too became panicked, one by one leaving their stations to each go to their own homes and find their own mothers.

"Go on, get some good rest! Once you've rested enough, come back."

Gu Yu stood at the door, seeing these people off.

He watched everyone's backs, then took a look around the company and suddenly realized two people were missing.

The second brother wasn't there; he must have gone to be with his girlfriend.

Ever since the second brother lost his virginity, it was as if he had opened Pandora's box, which simply could not be closed again. It wasn't to the extent of nightly revelries, but it was pretty close.

The ones he was looking for were Yu Xiaochuan and Cai Hui, who had also gone to Mihayou with the technology exchange group, and now they were nowhere to be seen.

"Could they have gone back last night?" Gu Yu murmured.

He felt slightly comforted.

At least Yu Xiaochuan and Cai Hui knew how to balance work and rest.

He walked towards his office, but as he passed by the operations department's office, he suddenly heard faint snoring sounds.

Glancing to the side, good grief, Yu Xiaochuan and Cai Hui hadn't gone home at all, but had fallen asleep right there in the office!

Yu Xiaochuan leaned back in the executive chair, while Cai Hui was lying on the desk, both of their sleeping positions were quite exaggerated.

Gu Yu fetched two new blankets from the staff nap room and then gently pushed open the door to the operations department's office, where two rhythmic snores greeted him.

In and out like trumpets, they echoed throughout the office as if Gu Yu found himself in a space filled with surround sound.

Out in the corridor where there was soundproofing he hadn't been able to hear clearly, but now he felt as if he were going deaf from the noise.

It seemed these two guys really were exhausted.

He first carefully draped the air conditioning blanket over Cai Hui, who was sleeping on the desk.

The guy was sleeping so deeply that he didn't react at all when Gu Yu accidentally touched his hand.

Gu Yu then walked around the desk to cover Yu Xiaochuan with a blanket.

Yu Xiaochuan slept with his head back in the executive chair, still holding a stack of documents in his hand.

Gu Yu glanced at the words on the cover and was slightly startled.

"Ideal Paradise and Mihayou Reach Operational Collaboration Agreement"

Yu Xiaochuan had actually succeeded!

When Gu Yu had sent him with the team to Mihayou, though he said it was to see if he could discuss a partnership, Gu Yu hadn't really held much hope in his heart.

After all, Yuan Shen was dominant in the gaming market at the moment, and Mihayou, making money hand over fist, was unlikely to sign a collaboration agreement with a small company like his Ideal Paradise.

It was like an earthworm wanting to partner with a cobra, not at the same level.

Yet unexpectedly, Yu Xiaochuan had really succeeded!

Gu Yu could hardly imagine how much effort and persuasion it must have entailed, but looking at Yu Xiaochuan like this, he knew he must have made considerable efforts.

Perhaps it was the countless drinks at the dinner table or the humble flattery lavished upon the leaders from the other side, or possibly it was the eloquence that won their approval.

Whichever method it was, none were easy to achieve.

Yu Xiaochuan had done it.

"Chuan, it seems I really wasn't wrong in choosing you as the manager of the operations department~"

Gu Yu smiled.

The person he approved of had achieved unexpected results, and this made him quite happy.

Gu Yu reached out to take the document from Yu Xiaochuan's hands so he could sleep more comfortably, but before he could exert any force, the sleeping Yu Xiaochuan jerked awake.

His legs kicked out, and Gu Yu quickly jumped back.

"Who's touching my contract!" Yu Xiaochuan's eyes, bloodshot, suddenly flew open, glaring furiously at the person coveting his contract.

This was the contract that he had secured after drinking forty-eight glasses of wine, saying countless nice words, and expending a great deal of energy to win the other party's respect!

"Uh… Chairman…"

But when he saw Gu Yu, his angry expression slowly turned to astonishment.

He looked around and realized he was in the office.

"Hiss—how long have I slept?" He rubbed his stiff temples vigorously, feeling as if all the veins in his forehead were throbbing painfully.

Gu Yu shook his head, "I don't know, what time did you guys come back last night? Why sleep here? There was a hefty budget provided, you could have stayed at any of the hotels outside."

"Also, there's no one else around, you can call me by my name, or 'junior' is fine too."

Gu Yu said softly, afraid to wake Cai Hui.

But he was obviously overthinking it, as Cai Hui's snoring only stopped for a second before getting even louder.

"Mmm, junior! Haha, I sealed the deal this time! Yi Net's Fire Thunder looked down on us, but we got Mihayou!"

Yu Xiaochuan sat up straight, spread the contract on his thigh, and then flipped to show Gu Yu the agreement index page.

Gu Yu took it over and glanced through, the listed items were basically normal operational cooperation clauses, and there weren't any of the exploitative terms he had imagined big companies might impose on smaller ones.

This was quite surprising.

He attributed all this to Yu Xiaochuan's efforts, and indeed, that was the case.

"Mm, I see, you did very well this time! Manager, you've truly earned your title in operations!"

"Signing this contract must have taken a lot of effort, right?"

Gu Yu said with a smile, handing the blanket in his hand to Yu Xiaochuan.

Yu Xiaochuan quickly took the blanket, and after being momentarily stunned by Gu Yu's words, he tried to appear relaxed and said, "Not bad, I just said a few words, and they were won over by my eloquence."

"Uh… well… that's really impressive."

Gu Yu could not help feeling resigned internally; wasn't it the same with all men? No matter how difficult the task, once it was completed, they'd play it down as if it was nothing to boast.

But he didn't expose Yu Xiaochuan.

He would never know, nor would he ask, just how much hardship that casual "not bad" has masked.

He'd fully recognized Yu Xiaochuan's capabilities by now and from then on, he could entrust the operations department to Yu Xiaochuan with peace of mind.

"Of course, with all the managers in our company being so formidable, I can't lag behind!"

Yu Xiaochuan didn't downplay it; the praise was well-deserved.

Gu Yu knew he was referring to Yu Shutong, the most capable person in the entire company, followed by his girlfriend, Lin Xinyue.

One was about technology; the other was about management.

He himself was just the hands-off shopkeeper, nominally in control of the overall situation.

"Haha, next month I definitely need to give you guys a pay raise."

Gu Yu said cheerfully, then left the operations office, as his phone in his pocket was vibrating with an incoming call.

Stepping out, he took out his phone and saw the call was from Dai Zhengguo.

Although not yet connected, Gu Yu roughly guessed what it was about.

After all, it was already mid to late November.

That matter was due to be finalized.
