Super Island Tycoon

Chapter 1290: Chapter 1289: The Pinnacle!

After dinner, Jiang Cheng went with Mu Bai to Mu Bai’s house. It was nearby, and Jiang Cheng looked at Mu Bai’s home, feeling it was a simple villa suite. Jiang Cheng went inside; it was very spacious, but it seemed like Mu Bai lived alone without any family there.

However, Jiang Cheng noticed the place was very clean, and the flowers were neatly trimmed. Mu Bai didn’t look like someone who would do these things. Jiang Cheng thought.

Mu Bai saw Jiang Cheng’s confusion and said, ”My parents are often not around, so they hire some maids to come and do the cleaning.” Mu Bai explained.

Oh, that’s how it is. Jiang Cheng didn’t walk around, just sat on the sofa, looking at the unfamiliar, cold house. Mu Bai really seemed a bit pitiful, having grown up all alone.

”Brother Jiang, don’t be formal, just treat this place as your own home.”

Mu Bai said.

”Alright.” Jiang Cheng replied as he looked at a family photo hanging on the wall in front. It seemed to be Mu Bai at thirteen or fourteen years old with his parents standing beside him, looking quite happy.

But the woman seemed somewhat familiar.

Jiang Cheng thought about it, wasn’t that woman the one he helped to retrieve the bag for? It was quite a coincidence.

”Jiang, where would you like to stay? Stay next to me.” Mu Bai suggested.

Alright.” Jiang Cheng agreed.

Upon Jiang Cheng’s agreement, Mu Bai looked very happy. ”That’s great, Brother Jiang, but we have to wake up early tomorrow.” Mu Bai said as he handed Jiang Cheng a fruit platter.

”Wake up early for what?” Jiang Cheng asked.

”Brother Jiang, you really don’t know? After participating in this competition, if we win, we need to report to Yi Company tomorrow.” Mu Bai replied.

Oh, okay.” Jiang Cheng said. Then let’s check it out tomorrow. He thought.

”But Brother Jiang, I’m really curious, why did you join this competition?” Jiang Cheng asked.

Me? Well, I don’t know either, just heard that Yi Company is pretty good.” Jiang Cheng said while eating a slice of apple.

”Oh, no wonder, I always feel you don’t seem like regular folks like us.” Mu Bai said sitting by Jiang Cheng’s side.

”Not regular folks? Then what kind of people am I?” Jiang Cheng asked.

”I feel like you’re from Mars, haha, just kidding.” Mu Bai laughed.

Haha, maybe I really am.” Jiang Cheng said.

Mu Bai surely thought Jiang Cheng was joking, laughing while looking at him.

Jiang Cheng slept soundly at Mu Bai’s place, without any fear of being in an unfamiliar land.

Early the next morning, when Jiang Cheng woke up, he saw Mu Bai had already returned with breakfast.

”Morning, Brother Jiang.” Mu Bai greeted while putting breakfast on the table.

”Up so early?” Mu Bai asked.

”You’re the one up early, what time did you wake up?” Jiang Cheng checked the time; it wasn’t even eight.

”I’m used to it; I have to exercise every morning when I wake up.” Mu Bai chuckled.

”Well, that’s good.” Jiang Cheng said, noticing Mu Bai’s healthy looking body.

”What’s your full name?” Jiang Cheng asked.

”Bai.” Mu Bai replied.

”Nice name.” Jiang Cheng murmured, Mu Bai.

”Yeah, everyone says it sounds like a name from an idol drama. Haha.” Mu Bai laughed.

Jiang Cheng also chuckled and quickly finished breakfast. ”Shall we head straight there?” Jiang Cheng asked, ”I still don’t know where it is.”

”I’ll accompany you; but about that examiner yesterday, I feel he might try to trip you up later.” Mu Bai said.

”No worries, don’t be concerned.” Jiang Cheng completely disregarded such people and had no intention to stay there forever anyway.

”True, I believe in you, Brother Jiang. You were so cool yesterday. If I had half your intelligence, it would be great.” Mu Bai said in a somewhat regretful tone.

Jiang Cheng found Mu Bai’s disheartened expression quite amusing, as Mu Bai was indeed very smart himself, constantly calling others smart.

”Let’s go, let’s head over early.” Jiang Cheng said.

Mu Bai drove Jiang Cheng and within ten minutes, they reached Yi Company. Jiang Cheng looked at the company, with the big signboard spelling out Yi Company in large letters.

This was the working hour, and Jiang Cheng saw many people already entering for work. No sign of Qiu Qingqing either; if it was Qiu Qingqing, there would definitely be many people looking.

Jiang Cheng and Mu Bai went in. At the entrance, the receptionist asked about their identities, ”We were just selected to join Yi Company yesterday.” Mu Bai said.

”Oh, okay, you can go directly to the general manager’s office on the twenty-third floor.” The receptionist said kindly.

Jiang Cheng and Mu Bai quickly took the elevator to the twenty-third floor. ”Brother Jiang, we’re going directly to the general manager’s office, I’m a bit excited.” Mu Bai said with a smile, looking genuinely excited, his face was flushed.

”Why so excited?” Jiang Cheng wasn’t sure who this general manager was.

”You don’t know, Brother Jiang? This general manager led the company’s research team last year to develop the most advanced computer software. Yi Company reached its peak because of it last year.” Mu Bai said with admiration.

”That’s indeed impressive.” Jiang Cheng replied.

”But Brother Jiang, your reaction is too ordinary. Don’t you have any other thoughts?” Mu Bai raised an eyebrow as he spoke.

”What thoughts?” Jiang Cheng felt a bit confused.

”Don’t you want to join this company’s research team?” Mu Bai asked with wide eyes, not believing Jiang Cheng wouldn’t be tempted by it.

”Can we get in?” Jiang Cheng was uncertain.

”I might not be able to, but you definitely can, Brother Jiang, you’re so accomplished.” Mu Bai looked at Jiang Cheng with admiration.

Jiang Cheng felt a bit embarrassed by the compliment, ”I’m not as amazing as you say.”

”Come on Brother Jiang, I say you are, then you are!” Mu Bai urged.

Jiang Cheng opened the door, hearing a voice from inside, ”Come in.” The voice was deep and resonant.

When Jiang Cheng and Mu Bai entered, they saw a man in a suit standing in front of a floor-to-ceiling window. Upon hearing the noise, the man turned around; he appeared to be in his twenties, looking quite young.

”You are the ones chosen this time, right? So young.” The man said, smiling with an approachable demeanor.

”Take a seat.” The man gestured to a sofa on the side, indicating Jiang Cheng and Mu Bai should sit down. He personally poured two cups of water for them.

Seems nice, Jiang Cheng thought.

The man glanced at both Jiang Cheng and Mu Bai, ”How old are you? Looks like you’re high school students. Haha.”

”I’m in my twenties, he’s twenty as well.” Jiang Cheng replied with a smile.

Jiang Cheng noticed Mu Bai didn’t speak a word, just sat holding his water cup, looking somewhat silly.

”Really? Must be quite young, he really seems little.” The general manager pointed at Mu Bai.

For a while, nobody responded. Jiang Cheng looked at Mu Bai, who was still holding the cup, like he was frozen.

The general manager appeared somewhat awkward, looking puzzled at Mu Bai.

”Mu Bai? Mu Bai!” Jiang Cheng called twice before Mu Bai seemed to snap out of it, suddenly looking at Jiang Cheng, ”Ah, what’s up?”

”What are you thinking about? He’s asking you a question.” Jiang Cheng asked.

”Ah, me, he asked me?” Mu Bai looking at the general manager staring at him immediately sat up straight, ”Manager? What’s the matter?” Mu Bai spoke, his face flushed red.
