Chapter 15: Shen Yixuan

Chapter 15

Qin Zhao did not bring much from her original body when she moved out. Just some clothes and daily necessities, as well as ID and bank cards. Therefore, moving was not tiring. However, filling up the empty new home took a few days. During this time, she did not deliberately contact Nan Yue.

Qin Zhao wanted to give Nan Yue some time. After all, Nan Yue had been straight for over twenty years, and suddenly having a girlfriend required some adjustment. However, Nan Yue would occasionally send greetings on WeChat, things like good morning, good afternoon, good night, what are you eating today, and so on. It was more awkward than when they were just ordinary friends.

This situation continued until Qin Zhao started working at Leisure Game Company.

Seeing that Qin Zhao was in no hurry, the system was a little anxious.

502: "Host, how many days has it been since you saw the female lead?"

Qin Zhao answered the system in her mind while drawing at her desk, "Nine days, what's up?"

502: "You even remember to count the days, it seems you're not a hopeless case after all. If you keep slacking off like this, what if the male lead takes this chance to get back with the female lead? What will you do then?"

The system sighed, causing Qin Zhao to also feel a sense of crisis. Still, she did not panic too much.

"Give it another week. If she still doesn't get it, I'll give her a push."

With Qin Zhao's assurance, the system finally calmed down a little.

"Hey!"

A familiar female voice rang out next to her ear. Qin Zhao turned her head to see Pei Fanzhi leaning casually against her desk, smiling at her brightly.

Since joining Leisure Game, Pei Fanzhi was the only person Qin Zhao knew at the company. Therefore, if she had any problems, she would ask Pei Fanzhi for help. Pei Fanzhi was also quite caring towards her. After interacting for a while, the two became familiar with each other.

But this was the first time Qin Zhao had seen Pei Fanzhi look so gentle and friendly. She smiled and said, "Do you know what you look like right now?"

Pei Fanzhi asked, "What do I look like?"

"A poodle."

Pei Fanzhi expressed dissatisfaction: "You're saying I look like a dog!"

"You're not even as cute as them!"

The two chatted and laughed for a few sentences before Pei Fanzhi finally explained her purpose for coming. "Qin Zhao, actually I'm here to pass on a message from the boss. She wants to see you. If your work isn't too urgent, go over now."

"Where is her office?" Qin Zhao asked.

Pei Fanzhi pointed in the direction of the library and said, "Go from there, 1820."

Qin Zhao nodded. "Sister Pei, may I ask, what is the boss's personality like? Is she easy to get along with?"

"Hmm..." Pei Fanzhi thought for a moment and said, "For me she's quite easy to get along with, but some colleagues have complained that she has an eccentric personality. It just depends on whether your wavelengths match. She's a veteran otaku, so if you can find common topics in that area, there won't be any issues."

"I see...then I'll head over now."

Qin Zhao walked in the direction Pei Fanzhi had pointed.

Qin Zhao had to hold in her laughter and replied quite seriously, "Have you ever thought that the author updating every two days could also be killing herself with hard work?"

This successfully eased the tension between the reader and author.

Shen Yixuan scooted a little closer to Qin Zhao and laughed, "You're the first employee who wasn't scared off by my overly familiar conversational style."

"They all think I'm the boss, so as long as I look a little stern, they get too intimidated to even speak. I just want to get along with everyone like friends." Shen Yixuan complained.

With Shen Yixuan's icy beauty face, she did give off an unfounded imposing manner. It was the kind of face that would make children cry and run to their mothers.

Qin Zhao said, "After all, they rely on you for their salaries, so it's understandable for them to be more respectful towards you."

Shen Yixuan pursed her lips and said, "I pay them because they earn money for the company. It's a fair transaction, there's no need for respect."

Qin Zhao expressed agreement. She thought to herself that not only was Shen Yixuan's personality fun, she was also very reasonable. She seemed like a good person.

But remembering that Shen Yixuan liked Nan Yue, Qin Zhao became cautious again.

"I have good news for you!" Shen Yixuan suddenly said.

Qin Zhao lifted her chin, signaling for her to continue.

"The two characters from the comic have already launched, and got great results on the first day!"

Shen Yixuan seemed to really like them. She recounted their portrayal in the comic in great detail to Qin Zhao, and they discussed it for a good while.

Listening carefully to her, Qin Zhao realized that those characters truly lived vividly in readers' hearts, and were even completely different from what she had envisioned when creating them.

It was just as the saying goes, "There are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand people's hearts."

"Oh, want to go see how the players of Rekindling are evaluating them?" Shen Yixuan suggested.

"Sure."

The two walked together to Shen Yixuan's desk.

When Shen Yixuan opened her laptop, the extremely familiar face imprinted itself into Qin Zhao's eyes!

In the photo, Nan Yue was dressed in scholar's robes, hugging an economics textbook, smiling vibrantly, exuding youthful spirit.

Qin Zhao looked at it in a daze.

Noticing Qin Zhao's expression, Shen Yixuan introduced her, "Pretty, right? She's my junior sister, and was the campus belle of their grade. She had a line of people chasing after her that could go around the school."

When she spoke the last sentence, Shen Yixuan's expression seemed to darken, as if recalling something unpleasant.

Before she could transition her mood, Shen Yixuan heard thunderous words from Qin Zhao's mouth!

"I know Nan Yue. She's my girlfriend."
