On my second playthrough, they were full of malice towards me.

But clearly, she and Lena are not on the same level.

Lena ignored Sister Hui completely, and after turning her attention back to Liao Ji and the chubby boy, she said calmly, "You're the special players selected from the questionnaire, right? Didn't you receive your temporary tokens?"

The chubby boy was still a little slow to catch on, but Liao Ji reacted quickly. He realized that Director Lei was giving them a chance, so he hurriedly said:

"No, we thought we could just come in."

“That was indeed our mistake.” Lena nodded, then waved to the two of them and said, “Come with me. The reason I invited you to come down to Senmeng offline is actually to ask you a few questions about your game experience.”

Lena took the initiative to leave, and Liao Ji, pulling the chubby boy who was still at a loss, quickly followed behind Lena.

After this incident, Liao Ji and the chubby boy's identities suddenly changed to those of special players invited by Lena, who simply didn't receive temporary cards due to a work error.

The remaining security guards scratched their heads and went back empty-handed. As for Sister Hui, she was furious but helpless, and could only watch as Lena led the two away.

As for the chubby boy...

Chen Shuo stared at the tall, pink-haired woman in front of him, nervously tugging at Liao Ji's clothes.

Although Chen Shuo didn't speak, Liao Ji could roughly understand the chubby boy's excited feelings from his trembling hands and the way he was frantically hitting him.

They originally thought that they would be lucky to sneak into the exhibition hall of Senmeng and Falling 2, but now they have actually benefited from the misfortune and actually met the legendary Director Lei and Designer Lei!

They even actually invited them to a private meeting!

Lena led the two of them to a nearby meeting room.

Since we're impersonating someone, we have to put on a show.

As she opened the door, Lena glanced at her cheerful assistant beside her. The assistant looked relieved; they had been disgusted by Sister Hui for a long time, but now Director Lena had finally given in and vented her anger, effectively crushing Sister Hui's arrogance.

Lena couldn't say anything about this. She couldn't very well tell her assistant that it had nothing to do with Sister Hui, and that she only acted out of remorse because she had done something very bad to that young man in her delusions.

Please sit wherever you like.

Upon entering the reception room, at Lena's prompting, the chubby boy, like a primary school student in a classroom, quickly and obediently sat down in a chair, straightened his back, and placed his hands on his lap, looking extremely well-behaved and reserved.

In contrast, Liao Ji next to him looked much more normal.

"I don't need to say more about what happened today, do I? This is a one-time exception. If I see this again, I'll call security."

Lena stared at the chubby boy and Liao Ji, warning them that she didn't want her help this time to cause a bad influence. If word got out and outsiders came to visit, it would cause a lot of trouble and problems for the company.

"Understood! We understand! It will never happen again. Thank you so much, Director Leilei!"

The chubby boy kept nodding and apologizing to Lena repeatedly.

Seeing that the chubby boy was very sincere and knew he had made a mistake, Lena, having nothing better to do, continued to ask, "Are you all players of Falling 2?"

"Of course! Director Lei, I, Chen Shuo, am a long-time player of Falling 2 since its launch, and a ten-year fan of yours, Designer Lei! I follow you on various platforms! I read every new design and game concept you create very carefully, especially..."

Like meeting his idol, the chubby boy was so excited that his mouth was agape. If he were to continue talking, he might go on until dark. Lena interrupted him in time.

"And what about your friend?"

The pink-haired woman turned her gaze to the young man next to the old fat man.

Rather, this is what she actually cares about most.

Unfortunately

To Lena's disappointment, the young man opposite her shook his head.

"I don't count, I just borrowed his account to play a few games," Liao Ji answered truthfully.

Upon hearing Liao Ji's words, the chubby boy next to him secretly cursed Liao Ji for being clueless.

He quickly interjected, trying to salvage the situation: "But my buddy is really good at it. He just got started and already helped me clear level 28 of the contract. We even posted a video about it on C-site!"

"is it?"

Lena gave a somewhat perfunctory answer, and the assistant in the room next to her also curled her lip, thinking that the chubby boy was going a bit too far with his fabricated stories.

A complete beginner probably couldn't even get past Contract Level 8, let alone Contract Level 28, since they don't even know the characters or the mechanics.

If you haven't played it, just say you haven't played it; there's no need to go to such lengths.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward. Lena glanced at her watch and realized that she had enough time to pretend. She got up and left her chair.

"Alright, you can leave now. If anyone asks you anything, just tell them that we kept our conversation a secret. Remember, this is a one-time exception."

"Okay, okay, Director Lei."

Seeing that Lena was starting to shoo people away, the chubby boy was disappointed but very content. He thanked her again and prepared to leave.

But unexpectedly

Liao Ji, who had been rather taciturn until now, suddenly spoke to the pink-haired woman:

"Director Lei, although I haven't played much, I admire your design and am looking forward to your contracts for levels 29 and 30. Also, if possible, could you please give me your autograph?"

Liao Ji's sudden move caught the chubby boy off guard.

Chen Shuo was very worried about Liao Ji's lack of discernment. Although he also wanted it, he knew that greed was insatiable and that he couldn't push his luck!

Clearly, Lena's assistant on the other side thought the same thing.

You should know that their Director Lei is now the designer of the hugely popular "Falling 2". Countless other companies want to poach her. Her fame and popularity are extremely high. Director Lei's autograph is very valuable. So many people outside are fighting for it. How can they just give it away so casually?

A qualified assistant should step in on behalf of their boss at this time, so the assistant directly declined on Lena's behalf, saying, "I'm sorry, Director Lena has important matters to attend to later, so we can forget about the autograph."

Before the assistant could finish speaking, the pink-haired woman's voice rang out.

Where to sign?

assistant:".?"

"Sorry, I don't have any tissues with me. Can I use yours?" Liao Ji patted his pockets and scratched his head a little embarrassedly.

what! ?

Director Guan Lei needs an autograph, but she has to bring her own paper and pen!?

The assistant's eyes widened.

Even the chubby guy, who is Liao Ji's good friend, is now covering his face as if he is a little embarrassed and wants to distance himself from Liao Ji.

But what neither of the two "outsiders" expected was...

Director Lei nodded, and then she specially found a blank postcard from the reception room and carefully signed her name, "Leina," with two rather artistic signatures.

"Give."

"Thank you."

Sometimes, you don't need many words; a few words and simple actions can give people a sense of familiarity and closeness. That's the feeling that Liao Ji and Lena give to the chubby guy and his assistant.

It's as if these two people aren't just a celebrity and a fan, but more like old friends?

However, this is not the end.

Lena: "Is an autograph enough? How about we take a picture together?"

"can."

Liao Ji nodded.

Chapter 328 Poisonous Scheme

The chubby little guy and his assistant in the meeting room: "."

???

Who are the celebrities and who are the fans?

Liao Ji and Lena ignored the two outsiders whose room was a bit messy, because they were now facing a new problem.

"You didn't bring your phone? Okay, use mine then, I'll send it to you later."

Seeing that the young man didn't make a move, Lena took out her phone, a move that shocked and envied the chubby boy next to her.

Because there's a subtext to that statement.

Director Lei will give Liao Ji her social media account information and add him as a friend!

Jealousy changed the little fat boy beyond recognition.

But then Liao Ji said something that made the chubby guy want to beat this country bumpkin who didn't know how to cherish the opportunity to death!

Liao Ji: "Sorry, is there anything I can take photos on the spot? I don't have a cell phone."

Do not!

You have a cell phone, you idiot?!

I'd rather you just buy me a cell phone before you go out!

Compared to Director Lei's and Designer Lei's private social media accounts, a mobile phone is nothing!

The chubby boy is going crazy.

When Lena heard Liao Ji's words, she was first stunned, and then she immediately recalled that Liao Ji had said he had never played "Falling 2".

original

Is it because you don't have a cell phone?

Lena suddenly felt a pang of sadness, and a strange feeling of heartache welled up inside her. Perhaps it was because she herself had been in the same situation a few months ago, penniless and without even a cell phone.

It's impossible for a local in a big city not to have a mobile phone. Now that Liao Ji is like this, he can only be someone who came from some poor rural area to make a living, right?

"It's okay, we have some here." Lena's voice even softened a bit.

The assistant quickly found a simple camera similar to an instant camera in the meeting room. Lena took the initiative to walk to Liao Ji's side, and with the assistant's "3, 2, 1" signal, the photo was taken and slowly emerged from the camera.

"Thank you."

After receiving the photo, Liao Ji carefully put it in his pocket.

Seeing that Liao Ji had finally finished, the chubby boy who was almost completely frantic finally had a chance to chime in.

"Um! Director Lei, may I also..."

Lena was quick and efficient.

After tearing off a new sticky note, I quickly signed "Lena" on it.
