Forcing Me to Be Reborn?!
Chapter 315 - Chapter 315 Chapter 245 Chen Jieyu and Little White Shoes

Chapter 315: Chapter 245: Chen Jieyu and Little White Shoes (Part 2) Chapter 315: Chapter 245: Chen Jieyu and Little White Shoes (Part 2) In room 212 of the East Building, everyone tried to hold back their laughter when Director Li put on his reading glasses.

Brother Zhu is awesome, directly inviting Director Li to test play.

How dare he play this buggy game we developed!

Little did they know, “Sheep” was actually quite popular among the older crowd.

Cheng Zhu remembered clearly that in his past life, he only followed the trend and played “Sheep” for a while before abandoning it.

His mom, Xu Yun, however, played it for several months; Cheng, when idle, would sometimes pick up his phone and play a few rounds as well.

It had indeed relied on crazy marketing among the younger crowd and had become a sensation in a short amount of time.

But never underestimate the market of the older demographic.

Initially, Director Li didn’t feel anything special about the game while playing.

But as he played, he truly got immersed.

However, since he was using Cheng Zhu’s phone, and had only agreed to test it out initially, he handed it back after losing a round.

“It seems quite fun.” Director Li took off his reading glasses and gave his verdict.

He chatted with everyone in room 212 for a bit more and, after saying a few official-sounding phrases, prepared to leave.

Chen Jieyu and Cheng Zhu went to see him out.

“Cheng Zhu, you go back to your work, go back.” At the stairwell, Director Li waved them off.

“Is Mr. Chen planning to stay a bit longer?” He noticed Chen Jieyu didn’t seem ready to leave.

“Yes, I’ll stay a bit longer,” the counselor replied.

“Alright.”

Just like that, the hallway quickly vacated, leaving only Cheng Zhu and Chen Jieyu.

However, the hallway was spacious, and the building opposite could see this side, so it wasn’t very private.

“Let’s talk.” Cheng Zhu spoke and then headed toward a more secluded part of the stairwell.

Once they reached there, he stopped.

Chen Jieyu followed him, trailing by two steps.

Cheng Zhu then took a few steps backwards, slipped his hand through her coat, and smacked her perky buttocks, eliciting a sharp “slap–.”

After the hit, his hand didn’t retreat but remained there, feeling the slight tremor of her flesh, and finally gave a slightly harder squeeze.

“Cheng Zhu!” Chen Jieyu’s cheeks flushed instantly, her brows furrowed as she chided him in a low voice.

This bad student was getting more outrageous!

We’re in school, not alone in a guesthouse room.

“Why didn’t you send me a message when you and Director Li came over?” Cheng Zhu started making excuses.

“I was about to text you, but then you walked in,” Chen Jieyu, her face stern, fixed him with a serious look.

She had assumed he would be working in the studio since the game was about to be released.

“Oh, is that so? Well, okay then.” Cheng Zhu withdrew his hand and smiled, glancing at her little white shoes, complimenting, “Hmm, they suit you!”

After finishing, he praised himself, “I do have good taste in choosing things.”

The counselor looked down at her shoes, her expression softening.

However, his next words were, “How about we go shopping tonight?”

“No,” Chen Jieyu, meeting his gaze, rejected without a second thought.

“Hmm? Why?” Cheng Zhu asked curiously, still smiling. “Are you afraid of being seen?”

The counselor shook her head first, then nodded slightly.

Besides, there’s something else–she still couldn’t get used to him spending money on her.

“We can’t just meet only when there’s no one else around, can we?”

Listening to him, could Mr. Chen not imagine what their meetings without others around might lead to?

“Who wants to meet you when there’s no one around?” Her stern little face frowned again.

Cheng Zhu smiled but did not continue the conversation.

“Where are you going later?” he asked.

“I’m heading back to the dorm,” Chen Jieyu replied.

“Let me walk you there; I feel like taking a walk to clear my head.”

Chen Jieyu gave him a dubious look.

“Don’t worry, it’s not like I’m going to insist on going up when we get to the building,” Cheng Zhu sighed, disappointed with her impression of him.

Thus, the two walked side by side on the campus boulevard.

To onlookers, they appeared like a counselor and a student chatting as they walked, nothing more.

Even though there wasn’t any hand-holding or other intimate gestures, walking shoulder to shoulder felt just right.

Even so, Chen Jieyu thought it was lovely.

…

…

After seeing Chen Jieyu back to her dorm, he returned alone to room 212 of the East Building.

The round trip took quite a bit of time.

During this period, he also received a WeChat message from Zhu Youwei.

The meeting at the company was over, and those two big V accounts they discussed wouldn’t charge any money.

Turns out, the team at Ancient Mountain Culture was quite thrilled about the chance to collaborate with “Persistent Visit.”

After all, Cheng Zhu was one of the most legendary figures in the circle this year!

Upon returning to the entrepreneurship park, Cheng Zhu posted a notice on the school’s forum announcing the release of “Sheep” the day after tomorrow, and that everyone could download it then.

The school gaming competition would also be held the day after tomorrow and would last 48 hours.

The first one to beat two levels could win a prize of 18,888 yuan.

The second prize was 8,888 yuan.

The third prize was 6,666 yuan.

Places fourth through tenth would get 888 yuan.

Anyone who cleared the levels beyond the top ten would receive 188 yuan, regardless of their rank, and not just students but faculty could participate too.

Just take a screenshot after clearing levels, which can be cross-checked with the data from the studio’s backend.

Additionally: The game is extremely difficult; if no one from Technology University can clear it, the money will be donated to the school.

Once the post was made, it caused a sensation in the school forum.

“Damn! He’s serious!”

“Awesome, awesome!”

“Throwing tens of thousands for us to have fun, huh?”

“Big spender 666!”

“The first prize is 18,888; damn, I can beat any game for that!)”

“Sorry, alma mater; I’m not ready to let you have this donation.”

“I’m from Class 2 of the Computer Science department, just a heads-up, the game is insanely difficult.”

“What, does the school lack a few tens of thousands? I do!”

The news spread quickly across the campus.

At once, Cheng Zhu became a campus celebrity again, the subject of everyone’s lively discussions.

Damn, a freshman can just casually throw out tens of thousands for a campus-wide event now.

Even Lin Lu and Shen Qingning heard about it very soon.

They didn’t privately chat with Cheng Zhu but reached out to him in the group chat.

“Ah? The video game competition is the day after tomorrow?” Lin Lu asked.

“What video game competition?” Shen Ming Lang was confused.

“Yeah, feels like an auspicious day,” Cheng Zhu replied.

“No, what video game competition?” Shen Ming Lang pressed.

“Wishing wealth,” even Shen Qingning unusually gave a lucky comment.

“Oh! It’s the cousin’s game being launched, damn!” Shen Ming Lang finally caught on.

So, the group continued to chat randomly.

After the group chat, Lin Lu also proactively approached Cheng Zhu for a private chat.

Being direct and enthusiastic by nature, if she wanted to find him, she would just do it!

“Cheng Zhu, are you nervous?” she inquired.

“Nervous about what? Nervous about whether the game can make money?” Cheng Zhu asked.

“Yes!”

“Then why be nervous about that, it’s definitely going to make a killing!”

“Hahaha! You’re so full of yourself!”

“Hmm? What I really meant to say was, didn’t someone lend me her luck?” Cheng Zhu quipped, sending back the scratch card Lin Lu had given him.

Sure enough, the young lady got excited at once.

“That’s right, that’s right! You’ve got my luck on your side!”

“Charge, charge, charge! ‘Sheep,’ charge, charge, charge!”

Lin Lu sent three emojis in one breath.

Thinking about it, Cheng Zhu’s projects–she hadn’t been able to help much.

But, somehow, she felt involved in every project.

…

…

Meanwhile, counselor Chen Jieyu was reading on the dorm’s sofa.

Her phone pinged–a message from Zhao Xiaoqian.

This slightly chubby counselor was looking to gossip with her again.

“Mr. Chen, is Cheng Zhu’s game launching the day after tomorrow?”

“I saw the post; the game competition starts the day after tomorrow.”

“According to him, I can participate too, right?”

Sure enough, Zhao Xiaoqian was quite excited.

Chen Jieyu smiled and typed back: “Yes, you can participate.”

According to Cheng Zhu’s intentions, even the cafeteria ladies, dorm supervisors, and security guards could join.

Seriously, as long as they were from our school!

Even if the fish from the artificial lake could play and get through levels, I’d throw money into the water!

“Mr. Chen, are there any game cheats, or maybe an insider track I could take?” joked Zhao Xiaoqian.

“How about we notch up a little scandal! Hahaha!”

“The prize money is so attractive, I’m quite tempted!”

“Ah! How much is our monthly salary after all!” Zhao Xiaoqian’s thoughts were indeed erratic.

However, her words suddenly made Chen Jieyu realize something.

“The day after tomorrow… is payday.” She mused.

It was normally the day she looked forward to every day.

Because money had been tight recently, she really relied on that meager salary.

Yet now, she felt a bit overwhelmed, uncertain about what to do the day after tomorrow.

Because as per prior agreement, each payday was also her repayment day to Cheng Zhu.

And, thanks to “Han Mu Mu” for the 200,000 starting coins reward!)
