Tong Yaqi thought for a moment and said, "I also forgot what that girl's name was, but she used to be in the Tianjiao Film and Television Administration Department. She's that girl with the small face, long hair, who speaks softly, very delicate. I think her last name is... what was it?"

As soon as Chu Ge heard this, a girl's image immediately appeared in his mind. With a wry smile, he replied, "Her last name is Mo, Mo Xiaoran."

Tong Yaqi's eyes lit up, "Yes, that's her, Mo Xiaoran."

After speaking, she looked at Chu Ge with a teasing smile.

"Chu Ge, impressive! I barely said a few words, and you immediately knew who I was talking about. It seems you had feelings for that Mo Xiaoran too?"

Chu Ge shook his head with a bitter smile, "No, really not. Honestly, it's not something to laugh about, when I left the Operation Management Department, it was somewhat related to that girl. Such a nice girl liked me, and I couldn't offer her anything. You have no idea how tangled that feeling was."

Tong Yaqi flicked Chu Ge's forehead with a playful smile, "If someone else said that, it would be like taking advantage and playing innocent. But coming from you, I really don't doubt it at all, given how charming our 'Emperor' is, right?"

Chu Ge touched his nose, "Alright, stop teasing me, let's eat."

Seeing the bitter smile spreading on Chu Ge's face, Tong Yaqi didn't tease him anymore, giggling as she changed the subject to Tianqing Company's issues while eating.

Due to the nature of the company, there's an awkward situation right now: there are inputs but no income. And this will likely be the case for the foreseeable future. With so many employees at Tianqing Company, the monthly expenses are enormous.

Firstly, the company still lacks sufficient relevant talent in the highly specialized technical departments.

Secondly, any large-scale client game requires preliminary market research, theme selection, cost estimation, and a series of other tasks, which take at least several months. The subsequent production process also requires considerable time. After production, there are internal tests, closed tests, open tests, and so on, which inevitably leads to this situation.

However, Chu Ge didn't mind much, since the actual bosses of the company are He Qing and He Junming, this brother and sister duo. With He Qing's financial resources, no matter how much money the company loses, she wouldn't feel a pinch. The money Tianqing Company loses in a day, she can earn back in minutes through other businesses.

He Junming had also expressed his attitude: once decided, it has to be done properly. He'd rather spend more time than produce something shabby.

In He Junming's words: having money means being willful, and he can be as willful as he wants.

After reassuring Tong Yaqi about the company's expenses, telling her not to worry and to go ahead confidently, they finished eating. Tong Yaqi returned to Tianqing Company, while Chu Ge went to see He Junming.

He Junming was at home, feeling bored. He was overjoyed to see Chu Ge and immediately grabbed two skateboards. They skated on the streets while discussing the company's situation and the direction of future development.

As the saying goes, "If you're a monk for a day, hit the bell for a day." Since he is still the CEO of Tianqing Company, he naturally cannot ignore the company. Even if it's impossible to make big money immediately, he hopes to maintain a balance between income and expenses through some short-cycle, quick-result projects.

And web games and mobile games are apparently a good choice, as they meet these criteria, and the technical threshold needed is relatively low.

Seeing Chu Ge so invested in the company, He Junming couldn't feel too lazy. As they talked, his mind started to turn, and he came up with some ideas for game development and production.

"Brother, I think, right now, running games are really popular in mobile games. Why don't we take advantage of this trend and make a running game for mobile?"

Skating away from the State Security Bureau's compound, He Junming made a suggestion.

Chu Ge was also on a skateboard, keeping pace with He Junming at a steady speed. Hearing this, he thought for a moment and said, "If you think it's popular, others making games think the same. There are too many such games in the mobile game market right now. If we just blindly follow the trend, it's going to be tough to make money."

He Junming chuckled, "I know, that's why I came up with an idea and want you to think it over and see if it's feasible."

Seeing He Junming's radiant smile, Chu Ge got interested too and said, "Tell me about it."

"Brother, you must have played Super Mario, Contra, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles when you were a kid, right?"

"Yeah."

In the orphanage, there were no game consoles, but when Chu Ge was young, some classmates' homes did have them. At these classmates' places, Chu Ge naturally played these classic FC games.

"I think, more or less, everyone has a bit of nostalgia in them. If we could integrate these games into our parkour game, it would definitely be a creative idea, surely refreshing and delightful, allowing people to relive classics while experiencing a wholly new sensation."

Hearing He Junming say this, Chu Ge was intrigued, feeling that this idea indeed had some merit. After pondering for a while, he added, "It's a good idea, but would it involve any infringement issues?"

He Junming grinned, performing a trick on his skateboard, "Bro, although I'm not too familiar with this kind of thing, here's what I think: If we really want to create such a game, we can make some modifications when integrating those classic nostalgic games. This way, people can instantly feel that familiar vibe yet notice some differences."

Seeing He Junming looking so serious, Chu Ge found his mind becoming more active. The idea indeed had some potential. If polished carefully and packed with more attractive elements, like interesting props, equipment, and various character types, it would obviously be highly feasible.

The two continued discussing the topic for a while until He Junming's phone suddenly rang. They paused on the roadside as He Junming took the call.

"Weijiang? Oh? Really? Great! Got it! Thanks!"

At first, He Junming sounded quite nonchalant during the call, but as he continued, his eyes lit up, and his smile grew broader, almost reaching his ears by the time he hung up.

Seeing how excited He Junming was, Chu Ge laughed, "What's up? Why are you so happy?"

He Junming chuckled, "Bro, do you know Taekwondo?"

Chu Ge was taken aback by the sudden change in topic, unsure why He Junming would bring this up.

"I know a bit. Why?"

Back in the organization, there were elites from all over the world, including Taekwondo experts. Although Chu Ge wasn't particularly proficient in it, he did have some knowledge.

"Hehe, I'm a member of a Taekwondo club. When my leg wasn't injured, I used to visit now and then for a bit of fun. It's been a while since I've gone. If you're free, want to come with me for a spin?"

"I get the feeling that your sneaky smile isn't about Taekwondo at all. Come on, be honest with me. You're just trying to pick up girls, aren't you?"

He Junming scratched his head, "Haha, bro, you're sharp! It really is like that. I joined Taekwondo because of a super cool senior sister there. Just now, Liu Weijiang told me he ran into her while eating and overheard that she'd be going to the club in a bit. Care to join me for a visit?"

Chu Ge chuckled, "If you want to flirt with girls, why drag me along?"

"Bro, for the sake of my great idea, come with me just this once?"

Seeing the anticipation on He Junming's face, Chu Ge teased him again but didn't dampen his spirits. He skated alongside him, curious as to what kind of woman could catch Eldest Young Master He's eye.

The Taekwondo gym was quite large, about two hundred square meters, spacious and bright. The floors were padded in red and blue, and right in the center of one wall hung a plaque reading "Loyalty, Filial Piety, Benevolence, Justice, and Courtesy." At this moment, dozens of people were training there.

As they stepped inside, He Junming scanned the room but didn't spot his senior sister, feeling a bit disappointed. He changed clothes and joined a few familiar friends, while Chu Ge sat in the lounge area, pondering over He Junming's earlier suggestion.

Unknowingly, more than half an hour passed. Chu Ge's concept began to take shape. If they really brought the game to life, it would be quite an intriguing project, and he couldn't help but smile.

Turning to glance at He Junming on the training floor, Chu Ge was somewhat speechless. This guy seemed to have forgotten the pain altogether; he had just eased into some light activities, yet now he was enthusiastically sparring with another participant.

Rubbing his forehead, Chu Ge rose from his seat in the lounge, intending to call He Junming over. If he carelessly injured his newly healed right leg again, it would only complicate matters. How would he explain it to He Qing?

However, before Chu Ge could call out to He Junming, an unexpectedly excited voice came from the entrance behind him.

"Chu Bro?"

Chu Ge was a bit taken aback. There was only one person who would call him that way. Turning around, it indeed was the little punk, Li Nan.

Besides Li Nan, Ye Li walked into the club with her. Seeing Chu Ge, she paused slightly, then gave a delighted smile, "Brother Chu?"
