Urban Soldier Young Master

Chapter 930 - 929: Obey and Wait (Part 2)

Chu Ge leisurely took a sip of his cola, breathed a contented sigh, and then continued the discussion."The question is, whether those games being singled out was just an accident, or if someone did it intentionally."

Qin Ruojing rolled her eyes at Chu Ge, "Don't you think that's stating the obvious?"

Chu Ge shook his head, "Yes, and no."

"What do you mean by that?"

"If it's an accident, everything is straightforward. After all, our games aren't excessive. We'll make the necessary adjustments, and once they meet the required standards, putting them back on the market shouldn't be an issue. But if someone is purposely targeting Tianqing, then there's much more to it."

"Like what?"

"For example, other game developers who don't like us could be colluding with relevant authorities to deliberately target us. Or perhaps someone has a grudge against me. Or maybe someone wants to test the waters with Tianqing Company to see He Qing's or the He Family's reaction."

"These are all plausible reasons, and the ensuing changes would be different, so we should first focus on the cause of this incident. There's no point in getting anxious until we figure that out, right?"

Qin Ruojing rubbed her forehead, "What you say makes sense, and it's not like I haven't thought of it, but aren't you being a bit too relaxed?"

Chu Ge chuckled, "I'm not as relaxed as I seem. I've already made two phone calls before you arrived. And even if we step back, once we figure out what's going on, if it's something we can resolve, we will do it. If it's too complicated and unsolvable, we'll just have to accept it. Being anxious won't help, right?"

Qin Ruojing remained silent. Logically, she understood, but having invested so much of herself into Tianqing Company, she couldn't help but worry.

She couldn't quite understand Chu Ge, as he seemed genuinely composed, not just saying this to comfort her and Tong Yaqi.

It felt as if, to him, it didn't matter much even if Tianqing Company went under.

As Qin Ruojing pondered, Chu Ge poured her a glass of orange juice and said with a smile, "Besides... when I returned to Lidu City, I was all alone. Given my current situation, what's there to care about?"

The same words sounded differently to Tong Yaqi and Qin Ruojing. The same Chu Ge, yet the two women, seeing him from the front and behind, experienced entirely different feelings.

Tong Yaqi saw Chu Ge's signature smile, sensing complete laziness and relaxation, feeling that he was reassuring them, saying that eventually, everything will work itself out.

But from Qin Ruojing's perspective, she saw Chu Ge's lonely figure, hearing the resignation in his words, the so-called "I've already come to this point," clearly referring to her suggestion of separation.

Qin Ruojing suddenly felt a lump in her throat. Was she really that important to Chu Ge?

When Chu Ge turned around, Qin Ruojing pressed her lips tightly, the words at the tip of her tongue changing form.

"You may not care, but everyone at Tianqing Company does. Let's contact people separately and, as you suggested, first figure out what's going on."

Without taking the orange juice Chu Ge offered her, Qin Ruojing stood up from the sofa, left a parting word, and walked out the door.

This time, it was Chu Ge's turn to watch Qin Ruojing's retreating figure. He looked at the glass of orange juice in his hand and a wry smile appeared on his lips. Compared to his emotions for Qin Ruojing, what is Tianqing Company worth?

Oh well, since Qin Ruojing believes this is important, then he'll take care of it.

Picking up the phone, Chu Ge dialed number after number.

Meanwhile, at the Tianqing Company game development department, the news also reached this place.

"Such a good game, yet they stop it just like that, damn it!" a young employee slammed a fist on the computer desk.

"Sigh..." a girl next to him sighed, "Isn't it? Those were all our hard work!"

"There wasn't any warning or indication before this, it was too sudden."

"I'm puzzled. How are our games considered vulgar? What the hell does 'vulgar' even mean?"

Amidst the gloomy atmosphere and murmurs of complaints, Mu Xiaoting paid no attention to the surrounding noise, her eyes focused on the computer screen, continuing her work on a game character model.

A young female artist, while complaining, glanced unintentionally in Mu Xiaoting's direction and couldn't help but pause for a moment.

"Xiaoting, with such a big incident at the company, how can you still find the mood to do this?"

Mu Xiaoting glanced sideways and smiled slightly, "It's not that big of a deal, is it? I believe our games are just fine, and everything will return to normal soon. The work we should do, of course, has to continue. I'm still waiting to become a permanent employee after the probation period."

The artist girl gave a wry smile and shook her head, "The games have been stopped, and you say it's not a big deal? Xiaoting, your mindset is really impressive."

Mu Xiaoting didn't continue the conversation, she just smiled indifferently and turned her focus back to the computer screen.

In truth, Mu Xiaoting really didn't take it that seriously. She had a very clear judgment about those games that were stopped. If one had to say there was a problem, it was purely searching for a bone in an egg.

Of course, if one had to say the content is common, there's actually some truth to that, but it's not vulgar; rather, it's the kind of commonness that's understandable and accessible to many people.

Games, by their nature, are for relaxation and entertainment. If games are expected to be as sophisticated as an opera, wouldn't that be a joke?

What really gave Mu Xiaoting confidence was her belief that a phone call to her dad that evening would solve Tianqing Company's issue.

This wasn't considered favoritism; she simply hoped to clear the ambiguous criticisms against Tianqing Company and those well-received games, which she believed had no issues.

This was a completely reasonable thing to do, especially since Chu Ge was her lifesaver, and she wasn't worried her father would have any difficulties.

The day passed quickly, and Chu Ge didn't find anything. After all, only a few people knew the ins and outs of this matter, and they themselves were still in the dark, so no one was willing to speak more about it.

The same went for Qin Ruojing. She even went to the Culture Bureau Director's home with a gift that night, but unfortunately, she couldn't even get the door to open.

Elsewhere, Mu Xiaoting went back to Mu Lingshan's house after work, which was her residence in Lidu City.

After greeting Mu Lingshan's parents, Mu Xiaoting went into Mu Lingshan's room. At this time, Mu Lingshan hadn't returned yet. She took off her jacket, sat on the bed, and dialed her father's number. After some small talk, she brought up the main issue.

"Dad, did you know that something happened at Tianqing Company?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Chongyi found it amusing because he was the one who orchestrated the situation; how could he not know?

Knowing was one thing, but Mu Chongyi still feigned ignorance, "Something happened? What is it?"

"A few games were inexplicably stopped, causing everyone around me to be anxious."

"If they were stopped, how could it be inexplicable? The relevant authorities must have had sufficient reasons for their actions."

"They mentioned things like being bloody, violent, vulgar ****. I think it's a joke, those games didn't have these issues. Dad, can you indirectly have a word with the folks at the Culture Bureau here, ask them not to make a mess?"

"Tingting, hearing you say that makes me really disappointed. Are you asking Dad to abuse his power to favor Tianqing Company? Although I have some authority in my hands, it was given by the people. Everything I do must be with a clear conscience; you can't ask Dad to make mistakes..."

Mu Xiaoting's eye twitched, "Dad, okay, okay, no rush to give me a political lecture. I understand what you're saying, and I know you have your principles, but as I said, there's nothing wrong with the company, and those games are fine. I work there, right? Do you think I don't understand the situation, or that I would lie to you?"

"So, you're saying the departments in Lidu City are wrong? They've completely wronged Tianqing Company?"

"Yeah, that's exactly right, completely wronged."

"Tingting, although I don't understand these games, I'm not confused."

Mu Xiaoting was taken aback, "Dad, what do you mean by that?"

"I mean, even though you know more about games than I do, when it comes to judging the quality of a game, I believe the personnel from the relevant departments are more professional. Their experts and professors can certainly see things your perspective might miss, some hidden issues."

"'Bricks' and 'animals'?" Mu Xiaoting chuckled lightly through her nose, a slight curve appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"Dad, let me put it this way, how many years has the gaming industry in our country really been developing? How long have they been in their respective positions? Do you really think those so-called professionals, who are about your age, can make the most accurate judgment from a scientific and rigorous perspective?"

"Of course, I have no doubt about that. Each position corresponds to its duties. Even if I don't understand these things, it doesn't mean my peers don't understand either. After all, it's their work requirement, so they must continuously enrich themselves in the corresponding field and keep pace with the times."

Hearing what Mu Chongyi said, Mu Xiaoting finally slightly knitted her brows.
