Urban Soldier Young Master

Chapter 419: Got a Big Fright


At that moment, a burst of laughter immediately echoed from the audience, obviously hitting the heart of some boys, and the atmosphere became much more relaxed. With just a joke, Chu Ge unknowingly shortened the distance between him and these students.

"It seems some friends have been hit right on target, but I'm afraid I have to regretfully tell everyone that they really can't make it today. However, if we end up as colleagues in the same company in the future, then naturally, there will be opportunities to work with them."

After a few more jokes, Chu Ge finished his opening remarks, walked over to the multimedia workbench amidst applause, started the computer and projector, and began playing the slides Qin Ruojing had previously prepared for him while speaking.

Whether it was the slides personally made by Qin Ruojing or the level of Chu Ge's speaking, both were naturally spot-on, with no big talk or empty words, only the content most capable of attracting the students' attention.

In just a few minutes, the emotions of hundreds of people in the classroom were stirred up, with everyone concentrating intensely, fearing they might miss a slide or any sentence from Chu Ge.

Everything was progressing as Chu Ge hoped, but just ten minutes in, as he was about to finish explaining the company's credentials, an unexpected scene appeared on the projection screen, unrelated to the slides and even terrifying.

A woman with disheveled hair, dressed in white and covered with bloodstains, extended her pale hands, crawling out little by little. The scene was exactly like Sadako appearing in a movie.

Since the classroom needed the projection, the lights were off, and the curtains were drawn. In the slightly dim light, this scene became particularly eerie.

Moreover, with everyone's attention highly focused, this sudden appearance of Sadako prompted a series of screams in the large classroom. Not just the girls, even some boys felt their scalp tingle, faces turning pale, and involuntarily shivered.

Li Nan, Lin Ling, and Ye Li, sitting in the back row, were also startled.

Lin Ling let out an "ow" and hugged Ye Li, who, after the initial fright, stared blankly at the Sadako, feeling a bit lost. Li Nan quickly calmed down, furrowing her brows tightly, and slammed her fist onto the table, standing up with a "teng!"

After the initial scare, Li Nan realized it was just a projection. In broad daylight, how could such a thing randomly appear?

Apparently, someone was deliberately causing trouble at Chu Ge's recruitment event!

Li Nan's sharp gaze swept around, burning with rage. After receiving Chu Ge's lesson and seeing Ma Tao's true colors, she no longer harbored any resentment towards Chu Ge and Ye Li. Today, she brought the Taekwondo club members over to help maintain order at Chu Ge's recruitment event, as a gesture of goodwill towards Chu Ge.

As someone seen by others as a rebel, Li Nan naturally carried a rebel's style. To her, a bigger fist was the hard truth. Moreover, when Chu Ge stood up for Ye Li, he didn't really give her a hard time, so now when she sees Chu Ge, she only feels he is a man of emotion and loyalty, someone worthy of respect.

However, at such a time, such an incident occurred; what would Chu Ge think? Wouldn't he assume she was deliberately provoking him, using this method to disgust him?

Unfortunately, there were too many people present, and the scene was too chaotic. Not to mention, she didn't even know if the person tampering with the multimedia workstation was there. Even if the person was present, it would still be almost impossible to identify them in the sea of people.

Following Sadako's appearance on the projection screen, Chu Ge also slightly furrowed his brows and glanced in Li Nan's direction.

However, with just a glance, Chu Ge was able to determine that she not only knew nothing of the matter but was probably angrier than he was right now.

Who could it be? Ma Tao, who wanted to show off in front of him before? Or someone else who had a grudge against him? Or was it someone playing a prank by planting a virus in the computer?

Regardless, having such an incident occur at the recruitment event indeed left Chu Ge feeling extremely annoyed, and if someone had done it deliberately, it was indeed a little nauseating.

However, now was clearly not the time to pursue the matter; what he needed to do first was to quell the chaos.

Glancing once more at the lifelike Sadako on the screen, Chu Ge left the workstation and directly unplugged the power cord.

As the power cut, the half-body Sadako crawling out, just about to raise her head, disappeared accordingly, though the classroom remained in chaos, and the screams did not cease.

Of course, not everyone was frightened. In an inconspicuous corner, one individual appeared outwardly panicked but was inwardly snickering with satisfaction.

"Hmph, clever enough to promptly unplug the power. If you had hesitated further, allowing even scarier scenes to appear, a stampede might have occurred among these hundreds of people, and if something big had really happened, you'd be finished!"

"But, what's the use of being smart? Hosting a recruitment event like this, you're truly unrivaled. Hahaha, enjoying it? I'm delighted for you!"

"Ahem ahem..."

Chu Ge cleared his throat, stepped onto the podium, and wore a calm smile, looking peacefully at the chaotic crowd.

Chu Ge didn't raise his voice, as he knew that would only make the scene more chaotic. Rather than speaking, it was more meaningful to let everyone notice him and feel his composure at this moment.

Chu Ge's voice, transmitted through the microphone clipped to his chest, slowly calmed the screams down. Just as he hoped, everyone in the classroom turned their attention towards him.

As the noisy classroom returned to silence, Chu Ge suddenly smiled slightly, shook his head playfully, and sighed helplessly.

"Fellow students, it seems like you aren't very fond of this segment. I heard before that Lidu University's students are all outstanding elites, but judging from your reactions, it seems like that saying might be somewhat exaggerated."

As soon as Chu Ge said this, everyone froze. Their fear turned into curiosity. From his tone, it seemed as if he had deliberately created that thing to scare people?

Chu Ge paused intentionally for a few seconds, observing everyone's reactions. When he felt that most people had shifted their attention from the initial scare to his words, he began speaking again.

"I know some of you are probably cursing me in your hearts right now, thinking this guy is crazy. How can he turn a recruitment fair into such a terrifying display? This is so low-brow and insane, right? Am I right?"

Many people looked at one another, and whispers started to spread.

"Exactly, can you believe he knows? Who conducts a recruitment fair like this?"

"Is he crazy? Goodness, he scared me to death. My heart is still pounding."

Upon hearing these voices, Chu Ge laughed again.

"If you really think that way, then I must say I'm disappointed in you. I'm sure you all realize by now that the Sadako on the projection screen just now was no more than an image formed by a set of data. As soon as I cut the power, it ceased to exist."

"Therefore, what I want to say is that at any place and time, in any situation, you should always keep a cool head. Shouting, crying, or screaming will only make things worse and has no positive effect whatsoever."

"Some people might think I'm speaking from a place of privilege, but I urge you to recall the situation. Weren't there some people around you who remained completely unfazed even while you screamed? They stayed calm in the face of such a sudden event. Ask yourself, why couldn't you?"

As the saying goes, it's all relative. After Chu Ge said this, those who were previously indifferent began to change their expressions slightly as they recalled the situation, feeling ashamed, and started to agree with him.

Yeah, everyone was sitting here facing the same situation. Why could some people immediately see through the truth with a smile, while they screamed like fools? It's so embarrassing, right?

Seeing everyone's reactions, knowing they had taken his words to heart, Chu Ge couldn't help but find it amusing.

Indeed, some people didn't react earlier, but aside from a few exceptions, most were scared stiff. Yet, after his explanation, those who were frightened couldn't possibly admit it, and those who screamed certainly wouldn't concede. So, with a few words, they spun themselves into his perspective.

But no matter how you look at it, this unexpected incident finally came to rest, and the recruitment fair could proceed normally.

"Fellow students, as I mentioned earlier, our company Tianqing focuses on the development and promotion of games. In my opinion, making players feel surprised is integral to making a good game."

"After all, whether it's mobile games, browser games, or client games, the competition in the gaming market is incredibly fierce. To stand out, you need something unique."

"Now, using the Sadako incident as an example, I'm curious—if one day such a thing crawled out of your TV while you were watching it at home, what would you do?"

Successfully diverting everyone's attention, Chu Ge laughed and made a light-hearted remark, "Hmm, if anyone's answer is 'scream loudly,' you don't need to tell me."

The classroom erupted into laughter. Everyone felt that attending this extraordinary recruitment event was worthwhile.

However, there was one exception. At this moment, someone was so frustrated their teeth were grinding.
