Chapter 353: Bo Le and the Thousand-Mile Horse

"Sis, you’re so kind."

At the international airport, Luo Li’er, who had just disembarked from the plane, put away her luggage and, unable to contain her emotions, hugged her cousin after getting into the car.

She had originally planned to take a taxi, but who would have thought her cousin would actually come to pick her up in person? This was unimaginable in the past.

It wasn’t that her cousin didn’t care about her, but rather that her cousin was always too busy before.

"You’ve gained quite a bit of weight."

Pei Yunxi took a good look at her from head to toe.

"No way, sis, don’t talk nonsense, I weighed myself at home, and I actually lost a few pounds. Sigh, it would have been better not to have any vacation. At home, I couldn’t even enjoy a lazy sleep, being nagged at every day for being lazy and having to help with housework, only to be criticized for being clumsy."

Luo Li’er complained bitterly.

The car started and left the airport.

"Do you want to eat something?"

"No need, I’ve already eaten on the plane. Sis, just take me straight back to school, please."

Luo Li’er leaned back into her seat, comfortably closing her eyes.

"I want to ask you something."

Pei Yunxi suddenly spoke up, "Jiang Chen lives in Spring and Autumn Plaza. Did you know that?"

"Huh?"

Luo Li’er seemed not to have caught on yet.

"Jiang Chen lives right next to us, just a few minutes walk away. Aren’t you two pretty close? Didn’t he tell you?"

Pei Yunxi said while driving, eyes fixed ahead, her face calm as still water, giving nothing away.

"I had no idea, is Jiang Senior really our neighbor? That’s such a coincidence."

Luo Li’er was surprised.

"Do you really not know, or are you pretending not to know?"

Pei Yunxi turned her head to look at her.

"Sis, why would I lie to you? Although, I did bump into him a few times at the entrance of the complex, he said he was just passing by."

Luo Li’er recounted truthfully.

"Then why didn’t you tell me before?"

"Sis, you were so busy before, it was hard for me to even talk to you. Why would I bother you with such trivial matters?"

Pei Yunxi became silent.

Indeed,

at that time, it did seem like a minor issue, but not anymore.

"Stay away from him from now on."

Luo Li’er was startled by these words.

"Sis, are you talking about Jiang Senior?"

Pei Yunxi drove silently.

Luo Li’er, puzzled and unsure, tentatively asked, "Sis, why though?"

Isn’t everything alright before the year ended?

"Sis won’t harm you. From now on, you need to keep your distance from him, understand?"

"Oh."

Luo Li’er obediently responded, but as soon as she returned to school and watched her cousin’s car drive away, she sent Jiang Chen a message to find out what was going on.

When Jiang Chen received the message, he was in a meeting with the Xiao Yao Studio to discuss improvements and refinements for the game.

By the fifteenth of the first lunar month, nearly all students had returned to school.

"Jiang Senior, how did you offend my sister?"

Seeing the message from Luo Li’er, Jiang Chen, while listening to Zhang Guangyi’s report, replied with a "?"

"My sister told me to stay away from you from now on."

As expected.

His "hidden ambitions" seemed to have been exposed.

However, from the ninth day’s evening onward, he had been prepared for this.

Jiang Chen was never a pessimist, so since Pei Yunxi was aware, instead of lamenting an unchangeable reality, he chose to think positively.

Maybe it wasn’t necessarily bad that Pei Yunxi found out.

After all, it was highly unlikely for Pei Yunxi to break their contract. Compared with Shi Zhenhua, he was practically inconsequential.

Moreover, the opportunity of a lifetime was within easy reach, a temptation nobody could resist.

No matter how pure and unsullied Pei Yunxi may be, she was still a living person.

Being human, one inevitably has desires.

As an actor, how could one give up a movie with a three hundred million US Dollar investment simply because the boss might "like" oneself?

More likely, one would throw themselves into the opportunity and offer themselves on a silver platter.

Of course.

Such a scenario would never occur with Pei Yunxi.

This means the biggest impact was that an "unspoken attraction" turned into a "declared love."

When pursuing Li Shuru, hadn’t he done so openly and succeeded all the same?

"I have no idea."

Jiang Chen played dumb.

"..."

Luo Li’er replied with a string of ellipses.

Jiang Chen did not reply again.

"Currently, the most complaints from players are about freezing screens and crashes, which can severely affect the gaming experience. Therefore, expanding our server capacity is urgent," announced the normally introverted Zhang Guangyi with a voice full of vigor and confidence when discussing his creation.

"When the game launched, we only bought server capacity for five hundred thousand people from the cloud service provider. With the current number of players, screen freezes are inevitable," said Luo Peng, "Because everyone was on holiday and coming back to school after New Year, I’ve contacted the service provider as soon as possible, and they promised to expand our servers within a week to ensure the smooth operation of our game."

"Jiang Chen, given the current popularity of the game, relying on purchasing server space from service providers is not a long-term solution. We should plan to build our own server rooms," Li Shao expressed.

"But won’t building our own server room be too costly?" someone asked involuntarily.

"Most game companies currently purchase server space from cloud service providers, but several large factories have their data centers. If we want to grow and become more powerful, building our own servers is bound to happen," Bai Zheli adjusted his glasses, clearly agreeing with Li Shao’s opinion.

"As for the cost issue, the game has only been online for a month, but we’ve already made over thirty million in revenue, which is more than enough to support building our server room. The super center with 300,000 servers at Penguin wasn’t built in a day; we can also start step by step."
