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

Hmph~ Hmph~

The next morning in the designer's office, the assistant looked at the pink-haired woman humming an unknown tune at her workstation and couldn't help but feel a little strange.

In her memory, Director Lei had never been in such a good mood as she was today.

indeed.

Lena is in a really good mood right now.

After last night's heartfelt conversation with Anno, Lena felt like she was God's favorite and the luckiest woman in the world.

She not only found someone she liked.

And I've found someone I can be friends with for life.

What's even more incredible is that these two things that bring her joy can actually overlap, which creates her current dreamlike sense of happiness.

Lena was initially worried about how to win Liao Ji's heart. After all, she had never been in a relationship and rarely had contact with men. Liao Ji was not the proactive type, and there was a significant gap between their social statuses. It seemed like there would be many difficulties no matter how you looked at it.

But once the connection that Liao Ji was Anuo's younger brother was established, all the problems were easily solved, and everything became clear.

So what if I'm inexperienced, haven't been in a relationship, or have little life experience?

She has a great teammate!

With Liao Ji's older sister, Nuonuo, secretly supporting him, how could he not win over his younger brother?

As for the issue of the disparity in their social status that she had worried about before, it's no longer there now.

after all

In terms of status, Anno, as the founder of Senmeng, is much higher than her, who is just a chief designer.

As for Liao Ji, Anuo's younger brother, he can't exactly be called a young CEO.

He is at least, and definitely, a wealthy second-generation heir.

If he were to marry her, it would be as if she were marrying above her station with Liao Ji.

As for why, Liao Ji is now just a part-time worker at a convenience store.

Perhaps, as Nuonuo said before, her younger brother had just arrived in this city and was not yet used to it. The fastest way to get used to it was indeed to do some simple low-level jobs first. Moreover, as for Liao Ji himself, he was not willing to live off his sister.

Although Lena hadn't known Liao Ji for long, she could still sense the young man's stubbornness and strong will.

This is why Lena didn't tell Liao Ji Anuo's true identity, and even pretended not to know Anuo.

Firstly, she didn't want to let down Sister Nuonuo's good intentions towards Liao Ji; secondly, Lena didn't want Liao Ji to know that she had his sister as a secret "wingman."

Everything is ready.

Now all that's left is to go through the final procedures. If things develop over time, they'll probably be able to walk down the aisle.

Let's skip the champagne and stuff.

"Any good brands of baby formula lately?" Lena scrolled through her phone.

The assistant next to him: "."

"Director Lei, what? Baby formula?"

"Yes, we should probably buy baby supplies too. Just in case, let's buy ten sets each of boys' and girls' sizes, from six months to ten years old, plus a stroller, pacifiers, and toys."

"Kindergarten education is also very important, we need to pay attention to it. I think I know a good primary school, but let's forget about high school, we should respect the child's opinion."

"Wait a minute, Director Lei, you, you've already...!" The assistant looked at the pink-haired woman's lower abdomen with astonishment.

In the assistant's mind, a dramatic scene had already unfolded: a sophisticated urban woman being lured away by a young man from the countryside, becoming pregnant out of wedlock, and then raising the child alone.

Fortunately, the assistant breathed a sigh of relief when Lena said that they were still in the stage of "confirming their relationship".

"Director Lei, we usually don't consider these things at this stage. After all, how should I put it, the future is very uncertain."

The assistant's words made Lena thoughtful.

The pink-haired woman in front of the desk then nodded in agreement.

"Indeed, if the child is born with wings, horns, or a tail, then the clothes and many other things will have to be custom-made."

assistant:"."

These aren't the variables she's referring to!

And what are you, Director Lei? A non-human fantasy race?! Even if you're a game designer, please be realistic!

While her assistant was internally ranting, Lena, who had given up on "planning for the future," was not idle and began to "focus on the present." After she fiddled with her phone for a while, her assistant's phone next to her immediately rang with a notification sound.

"Could you please change the background image of my public social media account? I've already sent you the new background image. Oh, and change the profile picture too, just use that one. Thanks for your help."

Want to change your profile picture or background image?

The assistant recalled that Director Lei rarely did these things; she should have been indifferent to them.

When she curiously opened her phone's inbox and saw the "new background image" that Lena had sent her, the assistant almost fainted.

"Lei, Director Lei"

"what happened?"

The assistant looked at the intimate photo of the pink-haired woman and the young man, their faces almost touching. What was even more outrageous was that, judging from the photo, it was actually Director Lei who had taken the initiative to put her face close to the other man's!

The assistant couldn't imagine the uproar that would ensue online if she actually did as she was told and changed the background image of the photo to Lena's.

Although their director, Lei, isn't exactly a celebrity or idol.

However, as a simulation-based anime-style mobile game, Falling 2 has a huge fan base among players, especially designers like Director Lei who are both talented and beautiful—in simpler terms, beautiful young and mature women.

The assistant hurriedly tried to dissuade Lena, using all her skills, and finally got Lena to give up, saying that she would only change it on her private social media account.

As for the reasons, it wasn't the various factors that her assistant listed as detrimental to her image, which would cause her to lose fans and be used by her peers to spread rumors and gossip.

Lena's main concern was that this estimate would cause trouble for Liao Ji.

After all, such exposure would put Liao Ji in the public spotlight, diverting a lot of his attention and energy from dealing with it, and could even affect the young man's normal life, which is not what Lena wants to see.

call

After stopping Director Lei's crazy behavior, the assistant decided that it was absolutely necessary to tell President An about it. Even if it meant tattling, she had to tell President An. Women who are obsessed with love are simply too terrifying!

If it were President An, he could definitely bring Director Lei back to her senses, right?

Thinking of the assistants here, I can't help but recall the figure of that mature blonde woman who was regarded as their spiritual leader, who led the inconspicuous, fragile sapling Morimo step by step to become the Morimo that is now, truly becoming a vast forest.

Mr. An, please come back soon!

If she doesn't come back soon, Director Lei will be kidnapped by some random guy who's never come out of nowhere!

After silently praying, the assistant quickly brought up another piece of news related to work in order to divert Director Lei's attention.

Although it's not very good news.

"By the way, Director Lei, there's something else. Didn't you ask me to help contact that content creator on C-site? But when I tried to contact them, I found that someone had already beaten us to it."

"Other game companies?" Lena frowned slightly.

The assistant sighed. "It wouldn't be so bad in other companies, but the problem is..."

"No, they're also from our Senmeng team. They're Associate Designer Zhao's people, Sister Hui's people. I'm very sorry, Director Lei, it's all my fault for letting them beat me to it."

Chapter 339, is this okay?

It wasn't hard to hear the regret in the assistant's tone.

This matter may not seem like a big deal, but it's certainly not insignificant either.

In any industry, top users should be the focus of a company's attention. For a game company, top players are a valuable resource.

For example, business departments regularly collect updates on those big spenders, send them gifts during holidays, invite them to visit the company, and try their best to build good relationships. This way, when it's time to boost performance, the departments with more big spenders can achieve better results.

Design departments like Lena's don't care much about top-tier players who spend money on in-game purchases; they're more interested in top-tier players who rely on skill.

The novel design, diverse gameplay, difficulty levels and monsters, and other aspects of the game experience are all greatly enhanced by the assistance, suggestions, and testing provided by skilled players in these areas.

Otherwise, we'll see classic player complaints like, "Do game designers even play games?!"

After all, designers are already exhausted from designing various stats and characters every day, so who would want to play games?

People like Lena, who both enjoy playing games and are passionate about design, are rare.

"Director Lei, how about I talk to that content creator again and try to persuade them to come to our side as well?" The assistant quickly tried to salvage the situation.

After all, she knew that Director Lei had been quite interested in that new video from C-site before, although her attention was probably diverted after the "scandal" broke out.

Moreover, if Sister Hui were to design a wildly popular battle map and gameplay based on the inspiration and experience of others, it would seriously jeopardize Director Lei's position.

"Okay, try again. It's okay if it really doesn't work." Lena nodded, deliberately saying "it's okay" to avoid putting too much pressure on her assistant.

This is actually partly her fault. She could have contacted Sister Hui before she did, but she was distracted by what happened with Liao Ji.

Lena and her assistant were still discussing follow-up work when suddenly a series of hurried footsteps sounded from outside the door, followed by another flustered Senmeng employee knocking on Lena's office door.

Judging from the employee's tense and anxious appearance, it seemed like something serious had happened.

This is true.

"Oh no, Director Lei, it's terrible! Your boyfriend seems to have tried to come see you and has barged into Senmeng again, but Sister Hui and her men have stopped him and even called security!"

"Judging from Sister Hui's attitude, she's probably trying to make a big scene. Director Lei, you should go and take a look!"

Upon hearing this news, the expressions on Lena's and her assistant's faces changed drastically.

The assistant's heart sank; her worst fears had come true.

In her view, she had no right to interfere with Director Lei's relationship with a convenience store employee, but she had long expected that something bad would happen sooner or later, given the huge difference in their social status.

Even if that country youth is honest and simple and doesn't cause trouble, he can easily fall into a trap if someone with ulterior motives deliberately trips him up, which could then implicate Director Lei.

For example, like this now.

Upon hearing the news, the pink-haired woman in the office didn't say a word. With a frighteningly gloomy face, she put on her coat from behind the chair and rushed out the door.

The assistant next to Lena, after regaining her senses, could only quickly jog after her when she saw her boss's menacing figure.

Senmeng, Design Showroom.
