Zhang Yanyan nodded repeatedly and hurriedly helped her download the app.
After it was installed and they had both registered accounts, they started playing.
On the other side, Qiao Yaning had already finished a game.
She took 7 minutes and had an accuracy of 80%, which placed her at the top of the leaderboard.
This result was considered excellent by many—fast and accurate.
She truly lived up to her reputation as a top four student.
Qiao Yaning smiled faintly.
In truth, she hadn’t even given it her all yet.
A few minutes later, most of the classmates were already on the leaderboard, and Qiao Yaning remained firmly in first place.
It was difficult for anyone to surpass her.
Even Wan Haixiang couldn’t help but sing her praises this time.
After scanning the rankings, everyone noticed that besides Lu Mian, Zhang Yanyan, and Xiao Qian, only Fang Xilan hadn’t participated yet.
Qu Weiwei, being talkative, asked, “Fang Xilan, how come you’re not taking part?”
Fang Xilan looked at her phone with some embarrassment, “My phone is too laggy, it can’t handle the app.”
Everyone expressed their understanding and didn’t say anything more, but Fang Xilan’s head hung very low, as if a sensitive nerve had been touched, and her eyes reddened independently.
Wan Haixiang, seeing that everyone else had played, glanced at the leaderboard and asked, “What about Xiao Qian?
Why hasn’t he played?”
Only then did everyone realize that Xiao Qian wasn’t in the classroom.
Someone pointed towards the corridor, “I saw him go out to make a phone call just now; he probably had something to do.”
——
Sufeng Game Company.
At the moment, there was a major meeting taking place inside the company.
Several executives were gathered around the office desk, discussing something with serious expressions.
Qiu Shu insisted on inviting the first and second generation gaming legends for promotion, but Fei Nie, the third generation prodigy, remained indifferent.
She was always proud.
Seeing such behavior as a slight against her, she instantly rejected the proposal during the meeting, her tone cold, “Creative Director, do you think I am not up to the role of strategic planner?
If you have any complaints about me, why don’t you take over?
Why use the first and second generations to pressure me?”
Qiu Shu’s position within the company wasn’t very strong, as he had been part of the second generation team.
After the second generation left the company, he and his team were neglected—one simple reason being that the third generation wanted to cultivate their own forces and core team.
In truth, he held the title of Creative Director, but in essence, he didn’t have much power anymore.
As enthusiastic as he had been when he first joined Sufeng Game Company, he was now just as disheartened.
The inaction of the leadership further exacerbated the team conflicts between the first, second, and third generations.
Fei Nie paced the office with a laugh, “Although I joined the latest, I am aware of certain things.”
“The first generation opened a new era for Sufeng Company, indeed contributing a lot, but their sudden departure inflicted great damage on the company.
The second generation followed suit and rescued the situation, creating another peak with its games.
I’m grateful to these predecessors, but I can’t help mentioning that the second generation left just like the first did.
Among you all, who has ever seen the first or the second generation?”
Everyone shook their heads.
“People who don’t dare show their faces, what can we expect from them?
In other words, they never appeared when they held their positions in the company, so how could they possibly attend a promotional event?”
Qiu Shu knew this to be true.
But if they truly couldn’t get the first or second generation legends to come—even securing just one of them could possibly work miracles since their appeal far exceeded that of the third generation.
The third generation’s fan base was mostly new and not very stable, and several games had not achieved the expected market performance.
Qiu Shu argued determinedly with Fei Nie, who was equally unyielding.
The two teams were on the verge of arguing when, at last, the company’s president, Zhan Jing, spoke up.
“What is this behavior?
We are one company, a single interest entity.
Since each side has its reasoning, Qiu Shu, you will be responsible for inviting the first and second generations.”
“Fei Nie, focus on this design conference.”
Fei Nie wanted to say more, but seeing the middle-aged woman at the head seat rubbing her temples with exhaustion, she paused, then fell silent.
A shadow flitted across her eyes.
Ever since she had joined the company, she had always been compared to the first and second generations.
She was tired of hearing everyone say she wasn’t as good as her predecessors.
She couldn’t continue to be so passive this time; she wouldn’t live in the shadow of these two individuals forever.
She had to make this game design competition a success and take the company to another peak.
After the meeting, Zhan Jing glanced at the time and dialed a number, timing her call.
Xiao Qian received the call and walked to the far end of the corridor, murmuring “Mom” with a bit of a heavy heart.
Zhan Jing’s voice was as assertive as ever, asking carefully, “Are you done with class?
How did the morning lessons go?
Professor Wan Haixiang is treating you well, right?”
Xiao Qian stared at the phone, his gaze darkening.
His mother’s calls were always about his studies, and he knew the company was in need of talent in physical design.
Moreover, the company was not doing well and had been living off past achievements, making it crucial for him to win the upcoming physics competition.
It was a task given to him by his family, one he must complete.
Initially, there had been a girl who was good at drawing and decent in physics.
The company had high hopes for her, but for some unknown reason, she was exposed for plagiarizing old works, and the company had completely blacklisted her.
Xiao Qian could sense the heaviness in Zhan Jing’s tone and took the initiative to ask, “Are things not going well in the company?”
Zhan Jing shook her head and sighed, “It’s the same old story!
The teams are at odds, and it’s been this way for more than a day or two.
But facts speak louder than words—if we could get participation from the first and second generations this time, it could indeed bring some benefits to the company.
Many in game design take them as role models, and using them for promotion would certainly be more effective.”
Xiao Qian stood by the window calmly, “The second generation might be harder to find…
For the first generation, we can still make an effort.”
Zhan Jing was skeptical.

“I’ve already assigned this task to Qiu Shu, so don’t worry about it.
Just focus on your classes.
You must win first place in the physics competition.
By the way, the girl from your class who scored full marks twice, the top student, how is she performing?”
The image of a delicate face appeared before Xiao Qian, closely followed by her indifferent demeanor during class and her habit of reading novels.
It was hard to associate her with a top scholar.
