"Chat?" Bai Ningning was taken aback. "Chat with whom?"
"With you," Qin Yue replied succinctly.
Bai Ningning was even more surprised. "Me?"
No, who am I to be worthy of that?
"Don't overthink it, I just want to chat with you to spark some inspiration," Qin Yue said lightly, "because you're still young."
Young?
Bai Ningning didn't know why, but her body reacted instinctively, as if she had pressed a button that triggered a reaction, expanding forward.
Bang!
A black button hit Qin Yue's forehead accurately and then rolled down to the ground.
Qin Yue's face turned pale.
Bai Ningning silently shrank back a little, swallowing hard.
The situation was not good; it was definitely her fault, so she might as well sincerely apologize first.
"I'm very sorry."
It was indeed quite sincere, at least it was the most sincere Bai Ningning's cherry lips had ever been.
Qin Yue stared at Bai Ningning's collar, and after several deep breaths, her emotions calmed down a bit.
"In the future, your pajamas cannot have buttons," she said, "they should all be the kind you just slip on."
Bai Ningning tilted her head for the third time today. "But without buttons, the collar will be very tight, and the whole outfit will puff up like a balloon."
"Then wear the kind without collars, the ones that are off-shoulder and collarless."
Off-shoulder outfits are fine, but isn't that a bit... too bold?
"Anyway, it's just sleepwear," Qin Yue said, shutting her down, "you'll only wear it at home."
"Alright," Bai Ningning conceded, "you decide."
After all, the clothes were made by someone you paid for, so why not take advantage of it?
Qin Yue had resolved the "safety hazard" in her life, and she felt much better, no longer worried about being hit by stray bullets.
As the food cart rolled over, they began to eat and chat.
"Back to the topic we were discussing earlier, don't overthink it; chatting is just to help me understand the direction," Qin Yue said, "I want to casually invest in the trendy fields of young people."
Bai Ningning picked up a spoon. "My job is just to chat casually and help you find inspiration?"
"Of course not, it's not just that. You are my assistant," Qin Yue said matter-of-factly, "an assistant should convey my instructions, right?"
Oh, so it's about passing messages, got it.
Qin Yue watched Bai Ningning nodding her little head, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curve up slightly.
Ha, it turns out that countering a little green tea is such a simple thing.
It's not that the little green tea is too powerful; it's just that her love-struck self back then was too naive.
Qin Yue thought to herself, Dr. Chen was right; the shadow left behind had caused her psychological and mental state to undergo nearly permanent changes since that day. For example, now that she had tasted the sweetness, she wanted this kind of life to continue.
But a debt of 2.5 million clearly couldn't be a lifelong threat. Bai Ningning was so beautiful; she must be quite expensive.
What to do? Find a way to make her owe even more!
"Although this will be classified as a company project, this plan is actually my personal investment," Qin Yue said, following her plan step by step, "all funds and investments will be recorded under my personal name."
First, let her know that this is my personal plan, unrelated to the company, to lower her guard.
But Bai Ningning didn't show much reaction, just lightly responded with an "oh."
From the perspective of the poor girl Bai Ningning, what difference does it make whether it's personal investment or company investment? If there's a difference, she doesn't understand it anyway.
After all, we're just messengers.
"And then, as my assistant, you need to understand one thing," Qin Yue said slowly, "when we officially start working, there will definitely be countless disagreements and discussions. The results that the boss wants may not be clearly stated, and the instructions are concise, so many times you will need to make your own judgments."
Bai Ningning frowned slightly. "Is that so?"
"Yes, that's the work an assistant needs to do," Qin Yue said to her, "when you convey the boss's instructions, you need to include your own understanding. If there are disagreements in the details of the work, you need to make your own judgments."
"That's too difficult; I'm afraid I can't do it," Bai Ningning's little face turned pale. "How about you find someone else..."
"That's how a normal assistant works; it just sounds scary. When you actually do it, you'll see it's not that difficult," Qin Yue hurriedly said. "This time, it's a small project that I personally invested in, so it's not too important. It will give you a chance to practice; otherwise, if the company's projects need you to do these things in the future..."
After saying this, there was a brief silence at the dining table.
Qin Yue was at ease; through these words, she kept hinting to the other party that this project was not important, and she could just play around with it.
Bai Ningning thought for a long time; after all, she had never been an office assistant and didn't know these work rules. Hearing Qin Yue speak so convincingly, she felt that things were probably like that.
That's fine; after all, it's just practice. If she really gets the hang of it, it will give her more skills and options when looking for a job in the future.
"Is it really not important?" She specifically asked again, "The funds involved aren't much, right?"
"Not important, not much," Qin Yue said, crossing her arms, looking calm and collected. "It's just a way to practice in my spare time."
Not important, meaning not important for the company and the group. Not much, meaning not much for Qin Yue.
Practicing? Practicing receiving!
"Okay, I understand," Bai Ningning continued, "What direction do you plan to take?"
Qin Yue asked her back, "What do you like?"
"?"
"Oh, I almost forgot, isn't it obvious what you like?" Qin Yue gazed towards the second-floor balcony, "Just head in that direction."
On the second-floor balcony, there was a row of cosplay costumes hanging.
Bai Ningning thought about it too; everyone says that money in the two-dimensional world is easy to make, so go ahead and make it. At least she knows a little about it.
Not completely in the dark.
"What area do you plan to focus on?"
Qin Yue thought symbolically for a moment: "How about animation?"
"No way, too expensive, requires a lot of funding," Bai Ningning immediately opposed, "and the risks are high."
"How about making a website?"
"Even less so, websites have a strong social attribute, and there are already leading websites creating a siphon effect; it's very difficult to enter the market now."
Unless you make an unofficial website.
Qin Yue shook her spoon: "It seems like there aren't many choices; how about mobile games?"
"That seems okay, not much of a barrier, and you don't have to think too much about competition," Bai Ningning pondered, "but…"
"Alright, it's decided; we'll make a two-dimensional mobile game," Qin Yue immediately made the decision, "I'll go recruit some people, and we should be able to set up a studio in about a month."
Bai Ningning's eyelids twitched: "Didn't we just start discussing? Is it too soon to make a decision… and I don't really understand this."
It's better that you don't understand; it's precisely because you don't understand that we're doing this. What if it makes money?
Qin Yue thought to herself, but gently said, "It's okay, I believe in you."
