After listening to his words, He Wei was able to quickly change his train of thought. In Xu Zhi’s eyes, this person was a genius.

He was not the type of person who would fire anyone who opposed him. If he was that kind of person, he might have kicked He Wei out of the company just now.

However, to Xu Zhi, He Wei was merely explaining his thoughts to him. Although there were some arguments, he did not care.

In his previous life, as the leader of the gaming department of the Tengda company, Xu Zhi had never argued with his subordinates. Instead, he would use his own thoughts to assimilate his subordinates and turn them into his capable helpers.

The more help one had, the easier it would be.

It was definitely not violence and fear that would convinced a person, and Xu Zhi knew this very well.

After reading the information for a while, just as Xu Zhi was about to go down to eat something, someone knocked on his office door.

“Please come in!”

Xu Zhi looked towards the door.

Ding Xiaomei walked in with a folder in her arms.

“President Xu…” Ding Xiaomei said in a somewhat reserved manner. She was not even 30 years old this year, and she had average looks. She had graduated from university and was able to obtain the position of operations director thanks to Qin Zishu’s appreciation.

Of course, she had not made any mistakes since she became the director of operations. In this way, she forcefully suppressed the voices of opposition.

From Xu Zhi’s point of view, this person might be a little too cautious, but there was no big problem.

“Xiaomei, take a seat!”

After Ding Xiaomei entered the door, Xu Zhi immediately stood up and pulled out the chair opposite the office table for Ding Xiaomei to sit in.

“President Xu, I… I won’t sit. I’ll leave after I ask you a question.”

Ding Xiaomei looked at the chair that Xu Zhi had pulled out for her and waved her hand. Xu Zhi did not care much and pulled her to sit down.

Xu Zhi had always been very enthusiastic about people who took the initiative to ask him for advice.

“What’s the matter?” Xu Zhi asked after Ding Xiaomei sat down.

“President Xu…”

Ding Xiaomei was no longer as reserved as she was when she first entered the door. She opened the folder in her hand and pointed at a piece of data as she said to Xu Zhi, “After I received the proposal, I found a problem here. I would like to ask you if there is an extra number written here.”

“Problem?” Xu Zhi looked at the hero weapon that Ding Xiaomei pointed at. There was a stated price of 999, and Xu Zhi shook his head.

“There is no problem, and there is no extra number written here!”

“President Xu, is there no problem? The hero weapon is priced at 999. Will anyone buy it? Do we need to reduce the price?”

Looking at Ding Xiaomei, Xu Zhi stood up and said with a firm look in his eyes, “Don’t worry and do it boldly. Don’t worry too much.”

“Oh, okay, President Xu.”

Putting away the folder, Ding Xiaomei bowed to Xu Zhi and was about to walk out when Xu Zhi suddenly stopped her.

“Ding Xiaomei, why are you in such a hurry? Have you eaten?”

“Not yet,” Ding Xiaomei answered.

“Alright, I’ve just arrived and am not familiar with the company cafeteria. I’d like to invite you to take me out for a meal, mainly to familiarize myself with the cafeteria. Do you have anything else to do here? If not, let’s leave now.”

After Xu Zhi finished speaking, Ding Xiaomei naturally had no reason to reject him. The two of them walked down the stairs together.

The cafeteria of Dream Game Company was located at the northwest corner of the first floor of the company. It had an area of nearly 100 square meters, and there were some tables and chairs placed outside. It could completely accommodate the dining needs of the company’s employees.

As for Dream Game Company’s three-story building, it was purchased by Qin Zishu in the third year of the company’s establishment. It was located near Third Street in Xijing, and the company had the property rights to land.

After a year of greenery development, the surroundings were already covered in trees. It was summer, and the flowers below the company’s building were in full bloom. In Xu Zhi’s opinion, the office environment was definitely top-notch.

After they had finished eating, Xu Zhi and Ding Xiaomei sat on a table and chair outside. This table and chair happened to be in the shade of a tree, so it was not only cool but also exceptionally quiet.

After Xu Zhi and Ding Xiaomei sat down, the two of them did not say much. As Xu Zhi ate, his mind could not help but think about the next step of the company’s development, while Ding Xiaomei just buried her head in her meal.

“… Sigh, have you heard? I heard that President Xu of the company used to be a gigolo.”

Without knowing when, an ear-piercing sound came from the table and chair not far away.

Xu Zhi did not need to raise his head to know that they were talking about him. When Ding Xiaomei heard it, she glanced at Xu Zhi with her eyes.

Xu Zhi nodded and signaled Ding Xiaomei to continue eating.

“Hey, your news is already outdated. I have something even more explosive. I heard that President Xu used to have nothing in his life. He picked up trash to eat. After that, President Qin bought him a car and a house. He is a son-in-law in her family.”

“You don’t say. President Xu is quite handsome.”

“If he’s not handsome, would President Qin have fallen for him?”

Hearing these words, not only was Xu Zhi not angry, but it also triggered some memories in him. He had just transmigrated to Bluestar, so he had nothing to show for it. Without any identification, all he could do was pick up bottles on the streets and sell them. It was not embarrassing for a man to lower his head in order to eat. Not only did Qin Zishu not despise him, but she also prepared an identification for him and cared for him. This made him very touched, so he could only repay her by marrying her.

“If you ask me, this President Xu is in too much of a hurry to take over. I’ve been busy all morning, and it’s all about that so-called new Jumping the Line of Fire thing. I haven’t even had a sip of water.”

“Who isn’t? It’s not even certain if it’ll work, but he’s already stopped production for Real Battlefield 2. Quite a few people are calling him ‘Overlord Xu’ behind his back.”

“That’s a good nickname. I don’t think this Jumping the Line of Fire is that good either. When the time comes, let’s see how he ends up and how he’s going to explain things to President Qin.”

“Stop talking. Let’s eat quickly. Be careful that the walls have ears.”

“What are you afraid of? We’re not the only ones saying this, everyone is talking about it.”

Ding Xiaomei sat opposite Xu Zhi and did not dare to look up at him.

Xu Zhi did not know, but she could tell that one of the people who spoke was from the operations department. As the boss of the operations department, she was so embarrassed.

Xu Zhi was still unmoved. Seeing Xu Zhi like this, Ding Xiaomei had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue eating her meal.

Fortunately, those people did not continue speaking. Ding Xiaomei finally finished her meal, while Xu Zhi had finished his meal and was waiting for her.

“Let’s go.” Xu Zhi picked up his plate and said to Ding Xiaomei.

Ding Xiaomei followed behind Xu Zhi, and the two of them walked towards the dining hall area on the first floor.

After Xu Zhi and Ding Xiaomei left, on the dining table not far away from them, a few women stared at the backs of Xu Zhi and Ding Xiaomei with their mouths agape.

As they watched Xu Zhi walk into the dining hall. They looked at each other as if a great disaster was about to befall them. Actually, Xu Zhi and Ding Xiaomei did not look at them at all.

When Xu Zhi returned to the president’s office, he smiled at the thought that his employees had given him the nickname of ‘Overlord Xu’ in less than half a day.

After he smiled, Xu Zhi did not mind.

Xu Zhi never had the intention to care about these discussions behind the scenes. Whatever other people said was none of his business. The only person Xu Zhi could care about was himself.

Looking at the documents on his desk, Xu Zhi was filled with renewed vigor..
