Urban Soldier Young Master

Chapter 929 - 928: Obey and Wait (Part 1)

The people in the meeting were truly bewildered. For them, the biggest question right now was whether they needed to escalate the issue.However, no matter how conflicted they were, just drinking water with their heads down wasn't a solution. The directives from above had been communicated, and they couldn't just remain unresponsive, right? If some labels were randomly slapped on them, they'd be really in for it.

After a discussion that felt as laborious as constipation, they barely reached a consensus—make a small probe first, then plan further.

This minor probe was to temporarily take down Tianqing Company's games like "Super Ninja Soul." As for whether modifications were needed, they'd wait for further notice.

When would the notice come? Haha... they didn't know yet, so how could they inform others?

Of course, that's the reasoning, but they definitely couldn't phrase it like that.

So, Tong Yaqi received this news, and subsequently, Chu Ge got a call from Tong Yaqi.

"What? Alright, I got it, wait for me."

At this time, Chu Ge was eating instant noodles in his hotel room. After hanging up, he went downstairs, drove straight to Tianqing Company.

In the general manager's office, Chu Ge sat on the sofa listening to Tong Yaqi's account of the situation and felt both angry and amused.

Characters in games could have their clothes blown off, and it wasn't a patent of Tianqing Company. Plenty of games had such settings, so why was it considered vulgar and inappropriate?

And female characters' breasts bouncing when they run—wasn't that obvious? By that logic, women wouldn't be able to participate in athletic events? Or should they undergo a sex change operation before entering competitions?

Another action game was criticized for its attack effects being too gory and violent, which was even more interesting.

Scenes in certain dramas where enemies are torn apart aren't gory? When certain bears and sheep frequently get burned, tied up, beaten, or flattened, that's not violent?

After venting his anger and laughing, Chu Ge rubbed his forehead, "Do you know whose idea this is?"

Tong Yaqi shook her head, "I asked around, but no one said anything."

"Then we'll do as they said. I'll ask around about what's going on. Don't worry, we know very well what kind of games we have. If we're upright, we have nothing to fear, and this issue will be resolved soon."

With that, Chu Ge smiled at Tong Yaqi and dialed Mayor Li Duo's number. The call went through, but no one answered. He then tried City Party Secretary Liao Zhengran's number, but the result was the same.

After waiting for a while, neither of them returned the call, and Chu Ge didn't try again. If they wanted to return the call, they would. If not, calling again would be futile.

After another half an hour, Chu Ge stretched lazily, a sardonic smile forming on his lips. Some things, no matter how often he encountered them, he just couldn't get used to.

If it were back when the He Family was glorious, and he, He Qing's "cousin," called Li Duo or Liao Zhengran, they would have answered immediately if they were available, or at least called back right after finishing their current matters.

And now? It's really a "haha"... it's hard to beat the fickleness of the world.

Was it so difficult just to tell him what was going on?

It's not like Chu Ge didn't have connections. Making a call was just a matter of moving a finger, but unless absolutely necessary, he really didn't want to.

For one thing, it would be making a mountain out of a molehill. For another, he had cut ties with the past and didn't want any more entanglement with past people and things.

As for going to the Bureau of Culture himself? He felt there was no need.

He wasn't as familiar with people at the Bureau of Culture as Tong Yaqi was. Even if he went, whether he could meet the relevant officials was uncertain, and even if he did meet them, a delaying tactic could easily dismiss him.

"Bro, it's not that I'm not helping you, I just don't know either. Go back and wait for the notice? You might want to discuss this with Information and Communication first, yeah, yeah, check with them before coming back?"

If they threw this attitude at you, what could you do? Who hasn't encountered something like this?

This situation was the definition of "misfortune never comes singly," as Qin Ruojing wanted a "cool-off" period because of a misunderstanding, Chu Shiyao was surrounded by mystery, and Li Zheming was tight-lipped and wouldn't divulge any useful information. The court trials were peculiar, and even the company left by He Qing was facing issues now...

This really was the epitome of bad luck, and Chu Ge was utterly exasperated.

When misfortunes pile up, Chu Ge unexpectedly became indifferent; it was not a feeling of depression but almost like a light-hearted amusement. As they say, "When lice are numerous, one doesn't mind the bites." He decided to let things take their course and take it one step at a time.

"Bang"

In the middle of his stretch, the door of the general manager's office was suddenly pushed open. Qin Ruojing strode in with a frown.

Seeing that all-too-familiar figure, Chu Ge's movements paused, and his heart suddenly felt very warm, very warm.

Back when He Qing's funds were frozen and Tianqing Company didn't have enough capital to operate, the entire Tianjiao Group's management opposed taking over Tianqing Company, thinking it was a mess. Only Qin Ruojing bravely went against the tide and unwaveringly supported Tianqing.

Chu Ge knew that Qin Ruojing wasn't doing it for He Qing at that time; she was doing it for him because they were a couple.

It seems like it's still the same now?

Of course, now clearly isn't the right time to chat about marital feelings with Qin Ruojing. Chu Ge continued to stretch lazily and gave her a slight smile, "You know about this too?"

Qin Ruojing nodded, looking at Chu Ge and then at Tong Yaqi, "Well, since you're both here, have you come to any conclusions?"

Tong Yaqi furrowed her delicate brows, her eyes filled with urgency, "No conclusions for now."

Chu Ge shrugged, "Just follow the decisions of those above and wait."

"Alright, stop with the sarcasm." Qin Ruojing glared at Chu Ge, "If you have any ideas, hurry up and say them."

Being glared at by Qin Ruojing like that, Chu Ge felt a sense of satisfaction inside. It was as if he returned to the days they used to bicker daily. Seeing Qin Ruojing angry always made him happy.

"My idea..." Chu Ge touched his nose and patted the couch beside him with a chuckle, "Come, sit down first, and let's talk slowly."

Qin Ruojing frowned but said nothing, eventually sitting down next to Chu Ge.

Once Qin Ruojing was seated, Chu Ge got up and went to the coffee machine, turning his head with a grin, "Ladies, what would you like to drink? Coffee, Sprite, orange juice, or cola?"

Seeing the increasingly relaxed Chu Ge, Tong Yaqi was speechless, feeling both annoyed and amused. Was there something wrong with this guy? The company suddenly faced such a change, yet he acted like it was nothing.

And why didn't he ask her what she wanted to drink before Qin Ruojing came...

Thinking about this, Tong Yaqi paused for a moment.

Hmm? Is this really the time to be jealous? It's all because of that Chu Ge, leading her thoughts astray.

Despite feeling helpless, Tong Yaqi inadvertently relaxed a bit. With Chu Ge being so confident, he must have a plan, right?

Qin Ruojing pinched her brow, "I'm not thirsty, no need."

"How can you not be thirsty? Your lips are a bit dry." Chu Ge took out paper cups from the coffee machine's cabinet and started pouring drinks, "Then based on your usual preferences, I'll get you Sprite and orange juice."

Placing the Sprite on the table in front of Tong Yaqi, Chu Ge returned to the couch with his cola and Qin Ruojing's orange juice, wearing his signature smile as he handed the orange juice to Qin Ruojing.

Qin Ruojing didn't take the orange juice, frowning, "Chu Ge, President Chu, can you stop beating around the bush? The company has issues now. Can you prioritize?"

Chu Ge took a sip of cola, placed the paper cup on the coffee table, and nodded naturally, "Of course, I can."

"Then why are you still not talking about business and instead offering me juice?"

Chu Ge scratched his head and took Qin Ruojing's hand, placing the orange juice cup in it, "What I'm doing now is business. To me, whether you're thirsty or hungry is much more important than these minor company issues. Now, take a sip, darling."

Tong Yaqi's eye twitched, a vein popping on her forehead. Could Chu Ge be serious? Was it really okay to flaunt their affection so leisurely at a time like this?

Qin Ruojing's expression froze slightly, as she realized that within his annoying smile lay sincerity.

She lightly pressed her lips and downed the orange juice in her hand in one gulp. As the refreshing and sweet taste flowed over her taste buds and into her stomach, the softest part of her heart was deeply touched.

"That's better." Chu Ge cheerfully took the cup from Qin Ruojing's hand, "Want some more?"

Qin Ruojing gave Chu Ge a sidelong glance, "Alright, now let's talk about the company's issues."

Chu Ge scratched his head, "Didn't I already say it all? What else is there to say?"

Qin Ruojing frowned again, "You said it all?"

"Yeah, compliance, and waiting." Chu Ge shrugged, "What else can we do?"

"Chu Ge, can you be serious? Our Tianqing is a gaming company. The client-side games are still in development. For now, only a few mobile games can bring in revenue. If they're taken down from the platform, it means a break in revenue, and players will have various negative feelings about it. We might even lose a large number of players. Surely, you know that?"

"Of course, I know, and I'm serious. From the company's perspective, all we can do now is comply and wait, isn't that right?"

Chu Ge smiled, "But from a personal standpoint, we can solve a particular issue first."
