It's clear that Liu Jun has done some research on the Lechang gaming platform, and what he's saying is something Su Yi has gradually come to understand. Later, Liu Jun even started using the term "we" to describe the platform, indicating that he has a strong affinity for it.

"Brother Liu, would you like to join our company?" Su Yi asked.

"I have to admit, I'm tempted," Liu Jun said. "I'm willing."

"Oh? Brother Liu, aren't you going to ask about the benefits first?"

"Hehe, compared to before, I prefer the feeling of challenge and the sense of accomplishment from completing a task. The LeChang gaming platform gives me that feeling. I believe this platform has a bright future, and I'm confident that what I gain in the future will be worthy of my efforts," Liu Jun said confidently.

Su Yi stood up, extended his hand to Liu Jun, and said, "Welcome to our company, Brother Liu." Feeling the strong grip of Liu Jun's heavy hand, Su Yi continued, "You should call me General Manager Liu now. Your salary will remain the same for now, but after one month, you will receive a salary that is fully commensurate with your abilities."

Liu Jun and Su Yi exchanged a smile and said, "Then I'll try my best to get you to pay me more, haha."

Su Yi smiled and said, "I couldn't be happier."

After the two sat down, Su Yi said, "Brother Liu, the company's approval hasn't been granted yet due to procedural issues. You'll need to follow up on this matter. Manager Luo Juan from Tiandi Software will assist us with the government's side. I will initially invest 1 million yuan in the company."

"My face is still so dark. Damn military training, when will I ever recover?" Lu Meng said irritably, looking in the mirror. "Anjing, what are you reading? Where's your Su Yi?"

"What are you talking about?" An Jing protested. "What do you mean by 'my Su Yi'? You don't even know who you're after. What about Ji Feng?"

"Not your Su Yi? Well then, I'm not afraid of stealing someone else's love. Ji Feng isn't as handsome as Su Yi." Lu Meng said with a wicked smile.

"Quiet, be careful, Lü Meng has her eye on Su Yi." Yu Qian poked her head out from the bed and said, as if she didn't want the world to be in chaos.

Hearing her say that, Lü Meng retorted fearlessly, "So what? A handsome young man is sought after by a lady."

Just then, Ouyang Qian came out of the restroom. Hearing Lü Meng's words, she jumped in front of her, grabbed her chest, and teased, "Oh dear, what lady? This is so big. I would say you should be a mature woman."

Lü Meng quickly broke free from Ouyang Qian's clutches and covered her chest: "Hehe, someone's just jealous."

Watching her friends tease each other, An Jing picked up the mirror Lü Meng had placed by the bed. Her reflection showed a pretty face, capable of both joy and anger, though her skin appeared dark. She couldn't help but sigh. After military training, their skin had all darkened considerably; she wondered how long it would take to regain their former fair complexion. Although she often missed Su Yi, she didn't want him to see her like this. A girl in love always wants her beloved to see her at her most beautiful. These past few days, they could only ease their longing through phone calls.

"Hey, look how quiet she is, this little girl's got crushes on him." Lü Meng's voice rang out again in the dormitory, followed by the girls' unrestrained laughter.

After parting ways with Liu Jun, Su Yi called Mo Yuqing. When the call connected, he heard a cute child's voice: "Hello, are you looking for my mother?"

"Hello, is this Jin'er? It's your little brother Yi. Do you remember me?" Su Yi immediately guessed who it was and couldn't help but think of the cute girl in his mind—Mo Yuqing's daughter, Mo Jin'er.

"Brother Xiaoyi? I remember now, he's the Brother Xiaoyi who kissed the pretty lady."

Hearing Mo Jin'er's childish voice, Su Yi broke out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, he could faintly hear Mo Yuqing's voice coming from the receiver: "Jin'er, whose call is that?"

"Mom, it's Xiaoyi's phone call, the same Xiaoyi who kissed the pretty lady."

Hearing Mo Jin'er's words, Su Yi broke out in a cold sweat again. Then he heard Mo Yuqing's voice on the phone: "Xiao Yi? You met with Liu Jun?"

"Yes, Sister Mo, we just parted ways."

"how is it?"

"Brother Liu has agreed to join our company, thank you Sister Mo."

"Why are you being so polite? I'm happy too. At least a deal was made, haha," Mo Yuqing said with a smile.

"Sister Mo, I'd like to meet with the other people on the list as soon as possible, okay?"

"That shouldn't be a problem. When are you available?"

Su Yi thought about his schedule. Tomorrow afternoon was a self-study period, so he said, "Is tomorrow afternoon okay? I'd like to meet with the top candidates for the finance, administration, and public relations managers."

"Okay, I'll get in touch with them for you."

The next day at noon, Su Yi received a call from Ji Feng. Since military training, Ji Feng had told Su Yi that he was planning to organize a Counter-Strike team. His stats were now consistently above 90, and his ranking on the LeChang gaming platform had finally stabilized at number one. These improvements were the result of his relentless efforts. Meanwhile, just as the semester began, news spread among students in Yanjing that a Counter-Strike tournament would be held in the city in two weeks. This tournament was organized by Freeman Internet Cafe, Yanjing's largest internet cafe chain, to celebrate their second anniversary.

This competition was organized by teams of players from Yanjing. The prize money was quite generous for students, with the first place winner receiving 20,000 RMB and the top ten winners receiving decent digital products.

“Master, you have to join our team! First place will definitely be ours,” Ji Feng said to Su Yi.

"Xiao Feng, I'll be quite busy lately with a lot of things to do, so I probably won't have time to join your team."

"Ah, I've already found a few skilled players who all want to see your skills, especially my cousin. Her skills are almost as good as mine, and she's really curious about my mentor." With Ji Feng currently ranked number one on the LeChang gaming platform, he can certainly attract many high-level players. However, team competitions in CS require a high level of coordination. Su Yi didn't want to participate in this competition. He had to go to school, start his company, and find time to develop games; he had no time left. The little time he had was better spent with Jing An. However, he was somewhat interested in the cousin Ji Feng mentioned. He knew that Ji Feng's current skill level had already reached a near-freakish level, and his cousin, whose skills were comparable to Ji Feng's, was probably a freakish one too.

After thinking for a moment, Su Yi said to Ji Feng, "Xiao Feng, do you want to organize a professional club, as formal as professional players in foreign countries?"

"Of course I've thought about it, but the environment in our country isn't right now." Ji Feng had considered this idea before, but although his family was relatively wealthy, they didn't have enough money for him to do this, and his family wouldn't agree to it.

"If your team can get first place this time, I will agree to sponsor your team and establish a professional e-sports club."

"Really?" Ji Feng knew what a professional club meant; it was something he had always dreamed of. Since his mentor said so, he believed it.

To get him to focus, Su Yi said, "You know the Lechang gaming platform, right? The one you've been using. Actually, I wrote this platform. Now I'm planning to start a company to operate it, so I'll be very busy lately and won't have much time. You can tell your team members that if you can get first place in this competition, you can join the Lechang gaming platform's professional club and become professional esports players."

Hanging up the phone, Ji Feng felt like he was in a dream. Everything had happened so suddenly. The LeChang gaming platform he had been using was actually his mentor's creation. He couldn't help but think that his mentor was indeed omnipotent. Now, his most urgent task was to tell his team members the news and then train like crazy.

First place is definitely ours!

After speaking with Mo Yuqing on the phone, Su Yi learned that everyone had made arrangements and would arrive at her company that afternoon. After having a quick and easy meal, Su Yi went back to his apartment to change his clothes and then headed to Mo Yuqing's company.

After arriving at Mo Yuqing's office, he learned more about the three women and then prepared to speak with them individually. All three were women.

The first person Su Yi met was Han Xue, twenty-five years old, a graduate of Shanghai Jiaotong University. After graduation, she worked as a public relations assistant at a foreign company. Later, due to her outstanding work, she was assigned to a newly established branch as the public relations manager and was highly regarded. However, due to a breakup with her boyfriend at the same company, she resigned and returned to Yanjing. She was a beautiful girl, elegant and composed. After Su Yi told her about his company, she told him that she was willing to accept the challenge and join his company.

The next two also had very smooth careers: Chen Ying, 34 years old, with ten years of accounting experience, and Li Lishan, 30 years old, who rose from clerk to deputy administrative manager at a well-known multinational company.

After confirming the management personnel, Su Yi called Liu Jun and asked him to come over. Using Mo Yuqing's company's reception room, the five of them held their first company meeting.
