Chapter 2247 Playboy Character

Yu Banshan met with Mr. Li from the game development department of Zhenyi Technology as scheduled. Right from the start, the other party expressed his admiration for Yu Banshan's level and even offered a monthly salary of up to 120,000 yuan in the hope of recruiting her to develop online games for his company.

To be honest, it was impossible for Yu Banshan not to be moved when he heard the other party's offer. After all, he was just a college student who was about to graduate. If he could get this high-paying job, both he and his family would be very satisfied.

But thinking of his roommate and the game they were developing, he hardened his heart and declined, saying that he would wait until the game they developed was online before going to the other company. Things should always be done from beginning to end.

Meng Yiran was at Zhenyi Technology, and was about to look for his uncle when he heard that his uncle was planning to recruit Yu Banshan to the company.

She didn't expect her uncle to do such a thing. She originally thought that he just wanted to acquire Xiao Nai's company, but now he was contacting people while poaching them privately. This was a bit too unethical.

"Uncle, isn't it immoral for you to do this?"

After hearing this, President Zhen looked at his niece, stood up and said, "Immoral? How can this be considered immoral? You are still young, and you don't understand the logic of business at all. Those college students thought they could succeed just by having a good idea. If you look outside, you will see many failed cases. How many of them can succeed?"

"Young people are bound to get lost and lose their way. At this time, we elders need to guide them so that they don't waste time and money."

Meng Yiran knew that he had no way to convince his uncle, so he could only ask, "Uncle, if you poach Yu Banshan and the others, what about Xiao Nai?"

President Zhen smiled and said, "I will first recruit all his team members and then offer better conditions. How can Xiao Nai not come? Don't you believe in your uncle's ability? Don't worry about it. The most important thing for you now is to study hard, understand?"

As a spoiled young lady, Meng Yiran had never suffered any hardship since childhood, and she instinctively felt that her uncle's behavior was wrong.

So after returning to school from Zhenyi Technology, she wanted to tell Xiao Nai about her uncle's plan, but she hesitated for a long time downstairs of the dormitory and didn't know how to start the conversation.

Meng Yiran, who was struggling, didn't know that her behavior downstairs in the boys' dormitory had attracted a lot of attention. After all, the school beauty appearing downstairs in the boys' dormitory was big news, and everyone was guessing who she was waiting for.

  Zhao Shucheng happened to return to the dormitory at this time, and saw Meng Yiran pacing there. He walked over curiously and asked:

"Meng Yiran, who are you waiting for here? Do you want me to go and call them for you?"

Meng Yiran was startled by Zhao Shucheng's voice. When he saw it was Zhao Shucheng, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "No, no one!"

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "You said you weren't waiting for anyone, but how long have you been standing here? The boys are all staring at you upstairs!"

  While the two were talking, Xiao Nai and his roommate came back from outside, but they ignored Meng Yiran and went straight into the dormitory building.

Meng Yiran looked at Xiao Nai's back and suddenly felt dejected.

Zhao Shucheng immediately understood that she was here to look for Xiao Nai, so he said, "Do you want me to call Xiao Nai out?"

"No need, I'm not here to look for Xiao Nai!"

Seeing Meng Yiran panicking, Zhao Shucheng couldn't help but laugh and said, "You're still saying no, but your expression doesn't look like what you said. If you really like someone, you should be brave enough to express it. Secret love will lead to no results."

"No, I'm not here to confess my feelings. I have something else to tell Xiao Nai."

Zhao Shucheng understood immediately after hearing this and said, "Is it because of the poaching of employees from Zhenyi Technology?"

Meng Yiran was shocked for a moment, staring at Zhao Shucheng in amazement, and said, "No, how did you know?"

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "It's not hard to guess. Your information about school beauty Meng is all on our school forum. Even her relationship with Zhenyi Technology is no secret. As for the fact that Zhenyi Technology likes to poach talents, it's no secret in the Internet industry."

Meng Yiran felt a little hot on his face after hearing this, lowered his head and said: "Really?"

Zhao Shucheng nodded and said, "Yes, after all, a year ago, Zhenyi Technology poached a research and development team from a small company and took the lead in launching the same game, with a monthly turnover of tens of millions. This has spread in the industry. Anyone who is interested will know about this."

Zhao Shucheng suddenly thought of something, looked at Meng Yiran, and said, "You didn't come to Xiao Nai just to tell Xiao Nai what your uncle did, did you?"

"Yeah!" Meng Yiran responded with his head down, but he didn't know what to say.

Zhao Shucheng shook his head helplessly and said, "You are really a young lady who doesn't care about worldly things. Do you know that your behavior is not a good thing for Xiao Nai or your uncle Zhen?"

Meng Yiran looked up at Zhao Shucheng blankly and asked, "Why?"

"They had not yet torn their relationship apart and were still competing with each other, so all their actions were carried out in secret. Whether it was negotiation or poaching, they were all means of commercial competition. It was nothing more than seeing who had the more clever means in the end."

Zhao Shucheng looked at Meng Yiran who seemed to be thinking about something, and continued, "But this is all based on a tacit understanding between the two parties. If you put these things on the table directly, then they will have no way out and can only confront each other head-on. This is not a good thing for either Xiao Nai or President Zhen. If Xiao Nai knew about his poaching behavior and ignored it, it would only mean that he had no intention of cooperating with Zhenyi Technology at all, and your uncle would definitely suppress Xiao Nai's Zhiyi Technology directly. On the contrary, if Xiao Nai's counterattack is fierce, Zhenyi Technology will also launch a bigger attack, or even poaching at a higher cost, which will also be a big blow to Xiao Nai."

Meng Yiran was stunned after hearing this and said, "What should we do then?"

Zhao Shucheng said, "Your best option now is to pretend you know nothing. Whether President Zhen succeeds or fails in poaching, or whether he cooperates with Xiao Nai, it is none of your business. After all, if you tip him off, you are violating business principles and leaking business secrets. Even if your uncle doesn't pursue it, it will be hard for others to know about it. Other companies definitely don't want someone who betrays their own company."

"But this is unfair and immoral to Xiao Nai and his friends!"

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "Miss, what do you think business competition is? Is it playing house or a head-on battle? It is said that business is like a battlefield, so naturally it takes all the skills to win. Poaching is just a normal means, which is also a common way to persuade people to surrender in war. If Xiao Nai is capable, he can use the counter-espionage plan to deceive Hou Zihe. If he fails, he will naturally be pulled out of the house and the firewood will be cut off." Meng Yiran glanced at the boys' dormitory building and said to Zhao Shucheng, "You people are so cunning."

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "It's not that we are cunning, but the business world is like a battlefield. Anyone who wants to succeed in the business world cannot be a naive person. If you don't have cunning, you will be taken advantage of sooner or later. Such people are not suitable for starting a business. It's better for them to be honest workers."

After hearing what Zhao Shucheng said, Meng Yiran knew that it was inappropriate for him to tell Xiao Nai now, so he smiled and said, "Thank you for your guidance, I'm going back!"

Zhao Shucheng and Meng Yiran separated, but they didn't know that some gossipers had taken photos of them standing together and talking, and even uploaded them to the campus forum, speculating about the relationship between Zhao Shucheng and Meng Yiran.

You should know that the scandal between Zhao Shucheng, Bei Weiwei and Zhao Erxi was reported not long ago. Now the school beauty Meng Yiran is also close to Zhao Shucheng, which naturally makes people curious about who Zhao Shucheng likes.

After Meng Yiran returned to the dormitory, Nana quickly approached her and asked curiously, "Yiran, have you fallen in love with someone else and fallen in love with Zhao Shucheng?"

Meng Yiran looked at Nana blankly and asked puzzledly: "No, why are you asking?"

"Now I'm not the only one who thinks so. Everyone has this guess. Look, there are photos of you and Zhao Shucheng together. This one shows you lowering your head shyly, this one shows you smiling, and this one shows you looking at each other affectionately..."

Meng Yiran was speechless when she saw the photo on the campus forum. However, she had to admit that the angle of the photo was really good and the timing was just right, which made people have such an association after seeing it.

"That's not the case at all. This is what happened..."

After hearing what Meng Yiran said, Nana nodded and said, "Yan'er, I think Zhao Shucheng is right. You shouldn't tell Xiao Nai, otherwise you will be in trouble."

"I know it now, but I didn't expect that people would take photos and even spread rumors."

"I don't think this is a bad thing. After all, you, Meng Yiran, are the school belle of our school. It would be a bit unreasonable if you didn't have any scandals at all."

Meng Yiran said worriedly, "But if Xiao Nai knew about this, would he misunderstand?"

Nana looked at Meng Yiran and said, "Yiran, tell me the truth, do you really like Xiao Nai to the point where you can't live without him? In fact, you two don't have any intersection at all. You only like Xiao Nai, who everyone calls the great god. Do you know him?"

Meng Yiran shook his head in confusion and said, "I don't know either, but I just think Xiao Nai is very good. I should like such an outstanding boy."

"In fact, I think Zhao Shucheng is not bad. Compared with Xiao Nai, he is more handsome and more approachable. But this is your own business, so you have to make your own decision. As for your concern that Xiao Nai will misunderstand, I think this is a good opportunity to test whether Xiao Nai has any feelings for you."

Meng Yiran asked curiously: "How do you say that?"

"If Xiao Nai has a good impression of you, or even likes you a little bit, you can just explain it to Xiao Nai when you meet him. But if Xiao Nai has no feelings at all, I hope you won't be too sad, and don't put your heart and soul into it to avoid getting hurt."

Seeing that Meng Yiran was still somewhat unwilling, Nana took out her mobile phone, opened a webpage, and handed it to Meng Yiran.

Meng Yiran saw the photo above, looked at Nana in shock, and asked, "Why is Xiao Nai sitting with Bei Weiwei..."

"I've already investigated. They just sat together by coincidence. Xiao Nai ignored Bei Weiwei the whole time. I showed you this photo to tell you that opportunities need to be created. They won't come to you just by sitting here and waiting!"

Nana looked at Meng Yiran and continued, "Bei Weiwei is a computer science major. In order to get close to Xiao Nai, she went to take an archaeology class. Isn't that hard enough? What about you? You are sitting here and not taking the initiative. Do you think Xiao Nai will fall from the sky? Anyway, I think you have such an opportunity, but you stop it. Are you stupid?"

Meng Yiran nodded and said, "I know what you said, I will do it!"

Nana sighed and said, "Alas, you are still okay, but now Zhao Shucheng's reputation has been ruined. Before, there were rumors that he had someone he liked, and everyone thought it was Zhao Erxi. As a result, he dueled with Cao Guang for Bei Weiwei, and now he is having an affair with you. Everyone thinks he is a playboy and not loyal in his feelings."

"Then should I explain to him that we just met by chance and discussed the problem together?"

Nana reacted fiercely and said, "Of course not. If you explain, how will you tell everyone? Are you going to say on the Internet that you actually went to see Xiao Nai, but Zhao Shucheng persuaded you to leave, or even that Zhenyi Technology poached you?"

Meng Yiran also reacted now and asked, "What should we do? We can't just leave it like this, right?"

Nana also sighed and said, "I don't know either. When I heard you talk about Zhao Shucheng talking about Xiao Nai and your uncle, I felt that he was very smart. If Zhao Shucheng wants to clarify, there should be a way, right?"

Zhao Shucheng also saw the scandal on the Internet, and it was his roommate Zhang Kun who told him about it.

He looked at the increasing number of discussions with some concern, and said to Zhao Shucheng: "Boss, don't you want to think of a way to explain it? If you continue like this, you will become a scumbag that everyone will hate!"

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "There's nothing wrong with this scumbag. This way, fewer girls will pursue me."

"But Boss, aren't you worried that Zhao Erxi or Bei Weiwei might have misunderstood you? I know that they still have a good impression of you!"

Zhao Shucheng shook his head and said, "There's no way to explain this kind of thing. Unless we stop contacting them in the future, the rumors will stop. But we're going to work with Bei Weiwei and the others for a long time. Don't you think there won't be new messages? It's better to just give everyone the impression that I'm a playboy, and avoid new messages coming out later, and I have to spend a lot of effort to explain."
