Chapter 629: Chapter 629: Lu Mian: I can meet my idol now!
Xiu Qian’s fingers paused, and as he stared at the line of text on the screen, his sullen handsome face cleared like mists parting after a storm, filled with great surprise.
Xiao Qimo was going to attend the promotion meeting?
Overjoyed beyond measure, Xiu Qian thought of many things to say.
He wrote and deleted, deleted and wrote on the keyboard, unsure of how to reply.
In the end, feeling that he had delayed too long, he quickly replied: “Alright, I’ll tell them right away.”
Xiu Qian hurried back to the meeting room, eager to convey this fantastic news to everyone.
The top game planner W agreed to attend the promotion meeting.
Whether it was Zhan Jing, Fei Nie, or Qiu Shu, they all felt it was both sudden and surprising.
“Xiu Qian, how did you manage that?” Zhan Jing looked at her son with curiosity.
Even Qiu Shu hadn’t been able to invite the top planner, yet Xiu Qian had succeeded.
She didn’t doubt the authenticity of the news; Xiu Qian had no reason to joke about this kind of thing.
Xiu Qian pursed his lips.
To everyone outside and within the company, Xiao Qimo was the founder of Sufeng Game Company.
But only he knew that Xiao Qimo was also the first generation planning master, W.
He had learned this information by chance when he visited the old residence and accidentally saw his design drafts.
Back then, Xiao Qimo had coldly instructed him to keep it a secret, and he had guarded this secret until today.
He once asked Xiao Qimo why he didn’t reveal his identity since it wasn’t anything shameful.
His uncle had replied in his usual breezy tone with just two words: “Too troublesome.”
Yes, to avoid the hassle of fame, he had turned himself into a legend.
This was really not something one would normally say!
And he wondered if the second generation, San Qianyu, felt the same way.
Xiu Qian recovered from his memories and explained, “W contacted me on his own.
The promotion meeting in four days can be arranged now.”
The senior executives of the company whispered among themselves, their faces alight with joy.
Zhan Jing breathed a sigh of relief, feeling like Sufeng was coming back to life.
Fei Nie, who had just made a bold claim, could only force a stiff smile, clapped her laptop shut with much effort, and left the meeting room with her chin held high.
But the happiest person was Qiu Shu.
The attendance of the legendary W at the promotion meeting meant he could naturally invite the second generation, San Qianyu!
The gathering of two generations of big names at the promotion meeting, he could predict with his toes how explosive the event would be.
And thus, the matter of changing the theme was smoothly resolved.
Xiu Qian’s good news had come just in time, and the usually struggling Qiu Shu didn’t even wait to leave the meeting room before sending a message to Lu Mian, who replied quickly and straightforwardly this time with “I’ll go.”
Ah, the world was too wonderful.
Qiu Shu rubbed his heavy dark circles and shot Xiu Qian a glance full of gratitude as if looking at a second set of parents.
“Young Master Xiu, after the promotion meeting, I’ll treat you to a meal!”
Xiu Qian went with the flow, hiding the flicker of anticipation in his heart, and nodded: “Alright.”
On the other side, Lu Mian’s mood visibly improved upon receiving Qiu Shu’s text.
Lu Xi watched her sitting at the desk, flipping through a book and even smiling, so he put down his paintbrush and walked over curiously.
“What, is doing homework over winter break that much fun?”
Lu Mian quickly snapped the book shut and casually covered her romance novel with a physics textbook, which incidentally was from a previous training class.
“Learning brings joy!” Lu Mian smiled.
Lu Xi didn’t believe her.
“Is there some good news?”
He rarely saw Lu Mian in such a bright mood, her face lit with a smile, and he couldn’t help but feel happy himself, eager to share in whatever was making her so joyful.
Lu Mian’s eyes sparkled, “Soon I’ll get to meet my idol, isn’t that good news?”
“…” Lu Mian’s eyes curved into a smile, “Big brother, let me tell you secretly, at this Sufeng press conference, the legendary W will be attending!
Remember to prepare more sample works and such, and then we can go get his autograph together!”
Lu Xi understood, “W is your idol, huh!
Is Qianyu going too?”
I heard she’ll be there too!” Lu Mian was so caught up talking about W, she had overlooked Qianyu.
On hearing this, Lu Xi immediately started pacing around the room happily, “It looks like I’ve come at the right time, I can’t believe I’m going to meet both legends at once!”
“I can hardly believe it…”
“You’re right, I need to quickly prepare some samples, I want autographs from both my idols!”
Lu Xi was even more excited than Lu Mian; for the two of them, this was indeed a piece of great news.
Lu Mian watched him tirelessly rummaging through his luggage and over his computer and leaned in with a conspiratorial air, “Bro, but who do you really like more, the first generation or the second?”
Lu Xi thought for a moment.
“The first generation W is a pioneer of domestic games, the light and dream I chase.
The second generation, on the other hand, has taken domestic games to their peak, and is my idol.
They’re different, but I like them both.”
“Actually, I think W is a bit better,” Lu Mian’s expression was earnest, like a fan passionately recommending her idol to a friend, “His work ‘Heroes Association’ is a classic.”
Lu Xi nodded, “W is great, and so is Qianyu.
You should try to learn more about Qianyu, ‘Valley of Heroes’ is also a classic!”
“…” Lu Mian didn’t want to dwell on such topics, so she just waved her hand.
She was only a fan of W.
In those tough days of the past, the games designed by W had built for her a virtual world of passionate heroes.
In that world, she found her own value.
She became interested in game production and programming.
At 13, she fell into the world of ‘Heroes Association’ and W.
While all other players were just enjoying the gaming experience, she began studying the game.
At 15, the day after W suddenly retired, she took over the job of game planner at Sufeng Game Company.
Lu Mian let out a gentle sigh.
This time, if she met W, she would definitely ask that question.
Why did he suddenly leave all those years ago?
After Lu Xi had organized his works, he took the USB drive to print the samples.
The printer was next to the training room, and Lu Xi sorted through his works one by one, seeming in particularly good spirits.
Yun Sang noticed and picked a moment when Lu Xi was happy to come over and chat with him.
Lu, are you busy with your works?”
“Yes, I’m going to print these out, they’ll be used later.”
I feel like I haven’t seen her in several days.”
Lu Xi paused; he had only arrived yesterday, and the way it was phrased made it seem as if he had locked Mianmian away.
“She’s in my room, doing homework.”
Lu Xi inwardly scoffed, leaned against the printer, and while helping to organize the works, casually remarked.
Lu, don’t you think you might be a little too strict with Lu Mian?
She probably doesn’t like doing homework…”
Lu Xi looked at him, seeing that he had more to say, his gaze calm as he waited for Yun Sang to continue.
