At the start, I tricked the school beauty, and ended up with twins?

Everyone had heard that Bo Jia was good at flattery, but it proved to be true upon meeting him today.

Bo Jia, originally a newcomer in Yu Shutong's development department, was in charge of software planning. However, at some point, he started managing everyone's working hours.

Everyone vaguely remembers that it was shortly after the development department was established and after its second expansion, when one evening, Bo Jia was the first to leave work, and that caught Gu Yu's attention.

He buttered up so smoothly he could pass for a slick old-timer.

Although known as a sycophant, everyone actually had a good impression of him; even though he always hurried people to finish work, he did so with a great attitude.

Plus, he was humorous, occasionally treating everyone to milk tea or late-night skewers, and had even become something akin to the company's mascot.

In other companies, such a person might do well but generally be looked down upon. However, at Ideal Paradise, everyone liked and respected Bo Jia.

And Bo Jia did get things done too. He completed the tasks given to him by President Pu on time every day.

So, everyone was even less inclined to object to him.

This time, Chairman Gu was planning to promote Bo Jia and give him more power, and internally, nobody really objected because, after all, if you could flatter as well as he could, then you would have been promoted too.

You excel, you lead by example.

"Look at you, talking as if you're recruiting warlords in 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms'. Don't get your hopes up too high," one colleague teased.

"The position I've arranged for you is Security Manager, responsible for everyone's safety. Of course, I'll assign Bai Jingjing as your assistant. As for manpower, I believe Miss Jingjing can take care of it, right?" Gu Yu laid out Bo Jia's responsibilities while looking at Bai Jingjing.

Bai Jingjing smiled and nodded. Recruiting security guards, she had her channels.

The security for the recruitment event had been organized by her.

"Security Manager, uh... Thank you, Chairman Gu, for the promotion! I will definitely protect everyone's safety. If any criminal dares to harm us, I will fight to the last drop of blood!"

"As long as I'm here, the gates of Ideal Paradise will never fall!"

Bo Jia was stunned for a moment but quickly caught on.

Though it was just the security department, it was still a managerial position!

He knew all too well that his software planning skills were quite average, and despite his wish to carve out a career in planning, he lacked the talent...

One week into the job, he'd given up on that dream, but he had a new goal—to manage everyone's workplace relationships well.

Even though he had been moved to security, which was a bit far from his initial goal, he was confident he could achieve results in this new role.

"Bo Jia, you've started being melodramatic again!" someone called out.

"Brownnoser! If only I could flatter like you do! Haha, congratulations!" came another jest.

"Not bad, Bo Jia. You've now reached one of life's three big milestones: career establishment, civil servant, and security guard!" someone quipped.

"..."

Everyone was in good spirits, joking with Bo Jia, who knew no disparaging intent was meant, and his face was filled with smiles.

After the banter, Gu Yu continued to speak to Bo Jia, "In addition to the security department, I have another task for you, which is to assist Bai Jingjing in managing the HR department."

His gaze swept back and forth between Bo Jia and Bai Jingjing.

Bo Jia and Bai Jingjing both looked surprised at the same time.

"HR department?" they both exclaimed in unison.

As though he had anticipated their reaction, Gu Yu just nodded and made a calming gesture with his hand, "Don't be so excited, I've thought this through."

"Miss Bai Jingjing, starting today, you are in charge of the company's HR department. I hope you will recruit more talents who share our values!"

"Manager Bo, we live in a society governed by laws now, there aren't that many criminals. The duties of the security department are fairly light, so I've also arranged for you to assist Manager Bai with managing new recruits in HR!"

After laying out the cooperation arrangement for the two, Gu Yu's eyes fell on Yu and suddenly remembered something, adding, "And don't recruit anyone who doesn't stick to proper working hours!"

Bo Jia immediately stood at attention, "Yes, sir!"

Bai Jingjing was still reveling in the surprise of suddenly becoming a manager, nodding subconsciously, "Okay..."

Yu Shutong's face showed a trace of a bitter smile, fully aware that Laosi's words were aimed at him.

But could the development department avoid working overtime?

Especially now, with the new game under development in full swing and the rush to progress on modules, everyone wished they could sleep at the company.

Although Gu Yu's metaphorical criticism wasn't particularly effective on him.

The overtime that needed to be done still had to be done.

Fortunately, his development department's personnel were independent, and all the employees he recruited had to pass through his review before they could join.

Otherwise, if he really brought in a bunch of Zen-like programmers, who knew when "Tomorrow" would be able to go online!

"Don't feel too much pressure, I know this is a bit sudden, but right now, you guys are the ones I'm most familiar with in the company, just take it slow."

"And you can seek help from President Pu, President Yu, and President Qin."

Gu Yu comforted them once again.

Bo Jia and Bai Jingjing didn't know what to say, only nodding their heads repeatedly.

Suddenly becoming senior management in the company indeed caught them off guard.

After arranging the work for Bo Jia and Bai Jingjing, Gu Yu's gaze hadn't even fallen on Hu Shuo yet when everyone instinctively turned their eyes towards him.

Hu Shuo, however, ignored everyone's gazes, staring straight at Gu Yu.

He knew it was his turn.

Though he outwardly appeared composed, inwardly he was already feeling a flicker of excitement.

If even Bo Jia and Bai Jingjing had become managers, he couldn't be that far behind, right?

He believed his abilities were somewhat stronger than both Bo Jia's and Bai Jingjing's.

This wasn't arrogance, but what he saw as a fact.

"Hu Shuo, first of all, I owe you an apology. I haven't arranged any work for you recently, and you've been overlooked. I'm very sorry!"

Unexpectedly, Gu Yu bowed to Hu Shuo, offering an apology first!

Hu Shuo quickly stood up, Gu Yu's action completely disconcerting him.

The Chairman apologizing to him, what on earth for!

Yet, Gu Yu's expression was utterly sincere, without a hint of show.

"Chairman Gu, what are you talking about! I should be the one apologizing to you, I haven't been of much help to the company these days!"

Hu Shuo hurriedly denied.

But Gu Yu shook his head, "No, you've been of great help to the company during this period, especially the work in the development department, which has made significant changes because of you."

Hu Shuo frowned in confusion, "Me?"

Everyone else was just as puzzled: Hu Shuo brought changes to the work of the development department?

What was this all about?

Even Yu Shutong wore an expression that said, 'I have no clue, don't look at me.'

"Yes, you, but to be precise, not just you, Zhou Fengfeng as well!"

Gu Yu nodded with a smile.

Hu Shuo's expression shifted then he awkwardly said, "You know about it?"

Gu Yu shrugged, "Happened to see it."

Yu Shutong: "???"
