About ten minutes later, everyone attending the class reunion had finally arrived, and the private room beca lively.
Most of them weren't studying at the sa university. They were scattered all over the country, and only part of the class had returned during this sumr vacation. Even so, everyone was very happy to see each other again.
With everyone present, the gathering naturally began.
As dish after dish was served, everyone chatted while eating, talking about interesting things that had happened during their university years and their plans after graduating in their senior year.
The class monitor looked toward Ichin with a hint of envy in her eyes.
"Out of all of us, you're the one who doesn't have to worry about that at all, Ichin, right? You already have such a big business now. Honestly, I never expected that after going abroad to study, you'd actually start your own company."
Ichin took a sip of cola and shrugged.
"I didn't expect things to go this smoothly either. I originally thought it might take a couple more years of struggling. But who knew the first ga would sell so well? And I also t a really great team and recruited them right away."
Haruno, sitting nearby, smiled and said,
"Sotis luck is also part of strength. Every year there are so many new and old ga studios making gas, but only a few manage to produce a hit. But every ga Ichin releases has never been a disaster. At worst, the sales are a bit lower, but none of them have ever lost money, right? And now there are already two gas that sold over ten million copies. Titanfall has sold more than five million, and Apex is still extrely popular, with huge viewership numbers on streaming platforms. Thinking about it now, investing in his company back then was truly the best decision I've made in the past few years!"
Eriri picked up a garlic scallop with her chopsticks and ate it, then complained to Haruno,
"It really feels like you're praising your own investnt vision. Is that necessary? Look at . Even though I invested too, I don't keep talking about it all the ti!"
Wasn't she basically doing the sa thing?
Yukino shook her head helplessly and said with a smile,
"But Eriri, wasn't that investnt arranged by Aunt Sayuri for you? You didn't actually have that much money yourself."
"Hehehe… don't expose like that!"
Among the classmates present, while so didn't know the exact value of Ichin's company, a few of them were gars and knew the sales numbers of the gas his company had released. They also knew that people like Haruno, who had invested earlier, must have made a fortune.
Investing themselves wasn't really possible given their family backgrounds. But as seniors about to graduate, joining Ichin's company after graduation was definitely an option.
So soone imdiately asked,
"Ichin! Is your Shanghai company still hiring? My major in college is computer science. I'm not super amazing or anything, but I've participated in several national collegiate programming competitions."
Ichin imdiately smiled.
"Of course we're hiring. And if nothing unexpected happens, we'll actually be expanding recruitnt soon. There's going to be a new project before long. Not just programrs, but artists, planners, operations staff, and more are all needed. If any of you are interested, feel free to submit your résumés. Of course, I won't give you any special treatnt. I rarely interfere with recruitnt for the Shanghai office."
Hearing that Ichin's company was still hiring, several classmates whose majors matched the positions beca interested.
These days, it wasn't easy to find a job after graduation. Since there happened to be a suitable company started by a classmate, and it was developing quite well, they were still willing to give it a try even without special treatnt.
After finishing a lively lunch, everyone followed the original plan and went to a KTV. After playing for about two hours, the class reunion ca to an end.
Ichin then took Yukino and the others back to the company. After handling a few simple matters, they got off work and went ho.
By the ti they arrived, dinner was almost ready.
Utaha, wearing an apron, walked out of the kitchen carrying a dish of sweet and sour spare ribs. Seeing the four of them enter, she smiled.
"You're back? Go wash your hands and get ready to eat."
Dinner began. After taking a bite of ribs, Ichin looked at his mother.
"Mom, you're leaving tomorrow morning, right?"
"That's right."
Ichin's mother said happily,
"We haven't really traveled much these past six months. This ti we can finally visit so places we've never been before and enjoy ourselves. But Ichin, are you sure you don't want to co with us?"
"I won't go," Ichin explained. "There's a lot going on at the company. I had a eting with the planning team this morning, and the project is definitely feasible. Over the next few days I'll need to focus on refining the proposal and finalizing it. This is their first ti working on sothing like this. The ideas are good, but since they're doing many things for the first ti, I need to give them so guidance. Otherwise if sothing goes wrong during developnt, it'll be troubleso to fix later."
Ichin's father nodded from the side.
"Since Ichin wants to work, let him focus on it. Being dedicated to your own career is a good thing."
Although Ichin's mother felt a bit sorry for her son, seeing how much he enjoyed his work, she didn't say anything more and simply let him continue.
The next morning, Ichin woke up right on ti when his alarm rang.
He had briefly woken up earlier when Utaha got up, but she hadn't let him get up to see them off, so he went back to sleep.
Sitting up and yawning, he looked outside at the fully bright sky and muttered to himself,
"I wonder if Mom prepared breakfast for . If not, I'll just go out and buy sothing. What should I eat… noodles, or maybe pan-fried buns?"
Thinking that, Ichin made his bed and walked out of the bedroom.
But the mont he stepped outside, he saw Yukino coming out of the kitchen.
Ichin froze for a mont, rubbed his eyes, and said in surprise,
"Yukino? Why are you still here?"
Yukino set down the clay pot she was carrying, removed her heat-resistant gloves, and smiled.
"I was supposed to be on the plane already. But when I woke up this morning, I realized my period started, and I wasn't feeling very well. So Utaha suggested that I stay ho and rest instead. If I went out traveling everywhere, I'd probably just feel even more tired."
Hearing that, Ichin did a quick ntal calculation. It did seem like about the right ti.
"I see. In that case, stay ho and keep company these next few days."
Yukino not going on the trip was quite an unexpected surprise for Ichin. But it also ant he didn't have to eat out every day. He could co ho, cook, and have soone to share als with.
Thinking that, Ichin smiled and pulled Yukino into a hug, giving her a kiss on the forehead.
Yukino smiled back and returned the gesture before saying,
"Go brush your teeth and wash your face. I've already prepared breakfast."
