Song Fan was fully focused on the ‘Future City’ competition and didn’t have time to engage with Song Yin. The competition was large, and she had to go through preliminary selection rounds. While it wasn’t particularly challenging for her to make it through, she didn’t want to underestimate the competition.
Moreover, this competition involved the global server, attracting numerous foreign players. Song Fan was determined not to let China lose reputation in the tournament.
After finishing work, she quickly logged into the game, where her friends were eagerly waiting for her.
[You’re finally logged in. We’ve been waiting for you to do the team mission together.] — Faraway.
[You guys can go ahead with your missions without waiting for me.] Sunflower.
[That won’t do. Without you, our team isn’t complete.] — Three Stones.
[We’ve been waiting for you for a long time] — Bluesea.
The people in the room were surprised to see this exchange. They couldn’t believe that Gu Chen, known for his reserved personality, was actively participating in the chat.
Unaware of the stir she was causing, Song Fan responded casually, “You don’t wait for me for so long next time. Just leave me a message in the game.”
“Why don’t we exchange contact numbers so we can communicate and form teams more easily?” Gu Chen suggested.
Song Fan didn’t find anything unusual and agreed readily, “Sure, I’ll send you my WeChat number.”
“Oh, my God, Gu Chen is actually asking for a woman’s contact number?” Xu Yuan exclaimed in front of his computer.
Although the others didn’t react as dramatically, they were still taken aback. In their eyes, Gu Chen was an iceberg who hardly ever showed emotions or expressions- especially not among friends.
For instance, when it came to women, many business partners initially attempted to set him up with beautiful women, but they were all swiftly rejected by Su Yang, who went as far as cutting off business relationships with some. It was well-known that they couldn’t offer women to Gu Chen.
It was believed that Song Fan was an exception. However, they hadn’t expected Gu Chen to initiate the request for Sunflower’s contact number. Something unusual must have transpired between them.
Qi Shuo swiftly grabbed his phone and texted Su Yang, hoping to obtain some insight from him. After all, Gu Chen wouldn’t divulge anything personally; instead, he’d just get asked if he had too much free time.
Su Yang, as Gu Chen’s right-hand man, was usually occupied with numerous tasks.
At that moment, Su Yang’s phone rang, and he checked the message. It read, “Su Yang, has your boss shown any interest in partnering with Star
Technologies lately? He seems to be spending a lot of time on ‘Future City’.”
Since Gu Chen didn’t mind his friends knowing about this level of business secrets, Su Yang responded directly, “No, Young Master has been occupied with suburban land development lately.”
Qi Shuo grinned after receiving the news and relayed it to the others, saying, “Su Yang told me that Gu Chen has no plans to collaborate with Star
Technologies. Since there’s no business motive, Gu Chen’s request for a contact number must be personal.”
Xu Yuan chimed in, coming over and saying, “It’s quite something. To actually witness Gu Chen’s personal affairs in our lifetime. I thought he’d dedicate his whole life to the company.”
Xiao Lei and Xia Rui shared the sentiment, but Xiao Lei quickly added, “But Gu
Chen now wants Sunflower’s contact number. What about Sister Song Fan?”
“Could it be that Gu Chen is trying to juggle two relationships?” Xia Rui speculated.
The others promptly dismissed this idea. Gu Chen would surely never engage in such behavior, given his well-known character.
“In that case, there’s only one plausible explanation,” Qi Shuo mused, rubbing his chin. “One of these two holds significance to Gu Chen, while the other must have some form of value.”
Just as they were speculating, Song Fan grew impatient. She typed a message to her friends, asking, “Are we going to proceed with the mission?”
Everyone immediately returned their attention to their computers and agreed, “Of course.”
Song Fan quickly selected a mission on the new map and invited her friends to join her team. Upon entering, they encountered another team.
In team mode, player names were prefixed to indicate their team affiliation, making it easy to distinguish between teammates and opponents. The opposing team quickly realized that Song Fan and her friends were part of the same team..
