After being reborn, the aloof female CEO became a paranoid.

Zhou Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, instantly understanding the deeper meaning in Mu Tianze's words. He glanced sideways at the arrogant Zhou Ze beside him, a faint smile appearing on his lips, before forcefully patting Mu Tianze's shoulder.

"Tianze, why are you being so polite with me? I, Zhou Yu, can't stand seeing my brothers suffer. Don't worry, I'll do my best to help you!"

Upon hearing this, a look of surprise flashed in Mu Tianze's eyes. He suddenly grabbed Zhou Yu's arm with such force that it seemed as if he wanted to prove his determination.

"Haha, Brother Yu, I'm relieved to hear that!"

"If we work together, we'll definitely do a great job!"

And so, Zhou Yu was "kidnapped" by Mu Tianze's drive and became his right-hand man in the game project.

He had hoped to stay out of it and have some peace and quiet, but things didn't go as planned, and he ended up getting caught up in the turmoil.

Upon seeing this, Mu Tianze's lips curled into a sly smile, seemingly both self-deprecating and sincere.

"To be honest, Brother Yu, having you by my side makes me feel much more at ease. If the two of us join forces, won't we create a huge wave in the gaming world? I have a feeling that this time we can soar to new heights and make a name for ourselves!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu had some reservations, but seeing the confident look in Mu Tianze's eyes, he couldn't help but be inspired and sighed softly.

"With you saying that, how could I bear to refuse? But let me be clear from the start, UI design is not my specialty, but I will definitely do my best."

"It's mainly because I haven't touched these things in a long time, and I'm afraid I'll be rusty. You need to be mentally prepared."

Upon hearing this, Mu Tianze quickly waved his hand, his face showing no concern.

"Brother Yu, what are you saying! I've always admired your vision and taste. Even if it's not your specialty, it's definitely top-notch. As long as we give it our all, nothing is impossible!"

After saying that, he skillfully turned on his computer, pulled up the first draft of the development project proposal, and pushed it in front of Zhou Yu, his eyes full of anticipation.

"Take a look, what other areas need adjustment?"

Zhou Yu took the first draft and carefully reviewed it. He did not interfere too much with the core development of the game, but offered his own insights from the perspectives of user experience, visual presentation, and interaction logic.

"From a purely visual perspective, the design here could be simpler and more concise, echoing the overall game style; also, the interaction flow could be smoother, reducing the user's operational burden..."

Mu Tianze listened attentively while taking quick notes, occasionally raising his own questions or offering additional opinions.

The two then engaged in a lively discussion.

With Zhou Yu's guidance, Mu Tianze made sweeping revisions to the project proposal. The parts that were originally somewhat disorganized have now become harmonious and unified, and the entire project proposal has become more complete.

"Finally done!"

Mu Tianze let out a long sigh, rubbed his sore neck, and looked out the window at the pitch-black sky.

"Brother Yu, are you hungry? Let's go grab a bite to eat, and then we'll all go home?"

Before they could finish speaking, a series of hurried footsteps outside the door interrupted their conversation.

Mu Tianze and Zhou Yu turned their heads at the same time and saw Xu Xinran and Jiang Qi standing side by side, and the atmosphere immediately became subtle.

Mu Tianze's eyes flickered, and he quickly made a decision.

"Um, Brother Yu, I suddenly remembered I have something to do, so I'll be going now!"

After saying that, he fled the scene as if he were escaping, secretly relieved that he had avoided the awkward situation of the three of them, especially seeing Jiang Qi's complicated look.

Seeing this, Jiang Qi smiled bitterly and then said softly to Xu Xinran, "I'm leaving too."

She then followed closely behind Mu Tianze and disappeared into the night.

Only Zhou Yu and Xu Xinran remained in the office, and the air seemed to freeze.

Zhou Yu coughed lightly, trying to break the silence: "We...we were too engrossed in the moment and didn't notice the time."

Xu Xinran smiled gently, seemingly unconcerned. She gently placed the thermos on the table and said softly, "I know you're busy, so I specially made this soup for you. It's freshly made, drink it while it's hot."

Zhou Yu wanted to refuse, but his stomach made a loud "rumble" at the worst possible time, which embarrassed him greatly.

Xu Xinran's eyes were filled with laughter, as if to say, "See? I knew it."

Zhou Yu finally gave in and opened the thermos. A familiar and comforting aroma wafted out.

He took a sip and was instantly stunned—the taste of this soup was so similar to, or even better than, the soup he remembered making himself.

He looked up, his gaze complex as he looked at Xu Xinran...
