At the start, I tricked the school beauty, and ended up with twins?

Early morning.

A bus stopped at the gate of Haidong University Innovation and Entrepreneurship Park.

The entire staff of Ideal Paradise were at the entrance to see off Developer Yu Shutong's team.

Mihayou had officially confirmed their acceptance of Ideal Paradise's visit and agreed to a week-long technical exchange between the two sides.

"Chairman, we'll definitely make you proud on this trip to Mihayou!"

"Chairman, hehe, watch me learn all their tech!"

"Laosi, we're off!"

"Old Gu, I promise we can take Ideal Paradise to the next level with Cai Hui!"

Everyone spoke fervently about their goals for the trip.

The employees from other companies in the incubator were green with envy at the sight of this vibrant group of programmers.

Having been operating in the incubator for so long, almost everyone knew just how many perks and benefits Ideal Paradise offered.

To put it bluntly, if Ideal Paradise could just normalize their interview questions a bit and simplify the entry requirements, at least half of the people in the incubator would be looking to jump ship.

Even some of the small business owners were eyeing Ideal Paradise enviously.

As a result, in the cafeteria of the incubator there would always be employees from other companies surrounding Ideal Paradise's staff, asking if they were hiring.

This made some bosses livid.

But there was nothing they could do; even if the employees wanted to leave, they didn't dare say anything.

After all, how many of those who started companies in the incubator had deep pockets?

If they had money, they wouldn't be starting companies in the incubator!

Except for Gu Yu, the exception.

Ideal Paradise's total assets had already surpassed sixty million, and yet this guy still clung on and wouldn't leave the incubator.

And Gu Yu's reason for not moving the company was simple: the rent in the incubator was cheap.

The key was that such a well-equipped office space with complete facilities was hard to come by anywhere else in Haidong District!

Cheap and with great amenities - only a fool would think of moving.

Gu Yu was even contemplating that when the company grew larger, to take over the third floor and the two floors below as well.

Starting a business, after all, is about spending the least money to get the best facilities.

"Alright, alright, off you go!"

Gu Yu waved to Yu Shutong and his group, putting on a reluctant expression, but inside he was bursting with joy.

All the Kings of Competition had finally left en masse.

And since the system didn't require clocking in for this kind of remote work, with twenty people out of the office, he was 'earning' a clean two hundred Check-in Points every day.

If it weren't for the fact that Mihayou had set a limit to a maximum of twenty people, Gu Yu would've liked to send the whole company over.

"Chairman, we're really leaving now, don't miss us too much!"

Bo Jia, previously entrusted by Gu Yu with the mission of Anti-competition Fighter, looked back at the office building with a reluctant face.

"Go ahead without worry, the company's got me!"

Gu Yu stepped forward and patted Bo Jia on the shoulder.

He did feel a bit reluctant to let go of this anti-competition general.

Although he hadn't made any significant impact on curbing the competitive spirit, having him around at least helped to share some of the workload in urging employees to leave work on time.

The group got onto the bus looking back three steps at a time, peering out of the window with faces full of reluctance as they looked at the company and Gu Yu.

Gu Yu suddenly had the strange sensation that he was sending his child to kindergarten.

"Go on! Off you go! Play a few more days, don't think about saving money for the company!"

"Stay in five-star hotels, dine at Michelin restaurants, and if you've got nothing else to do, go get a shoulder massage, a leg rub, a bath or something. Programmers are most prone to spinal problems!"

Gu Yu shouted at the departing bus, unsure if the bunch had heard him.

An employee passing by looked pitifully at their own boss and said, "Boss… I also wish…"

The boss kicked him in the butt: "Wish for what! Damn it, I wish too!"

Gu Yu's ostentatiousness made a number of bosses grind their teeth in frustration.

If things kept going this way, their employees might just revolt!

Some bosses, either out of pressure or seizing the chance to poach staff from other companies, publicly announced that starting from that day, their companies would implement a nine-to-five work schedule, with overtime pay included in company benefits!

Immediately, the employees cheered.

Gu Yu saw this scene, turned his head to Lin Xinyue, and the two shared a knowing smile.

Ideal Paradise finally began to change the working environment of other companies.

This was their original hope, as well as their ultimate goal.

Gradually influencing other companies and returning a healthy working environment to the workers.

But for now, the influence of Ideal Paradise wasn't big enough, only able to radiate to the companies within the incubator.

Truly wanting to influence society would still be a long and arduous journey.

"Finally sent this bunch of King of Competitions packing."

Watching the bus disappear at the end of the road, Gu Yu let out a sigh of relief.

Now, there should only be a few people responsible for the daily basic operations left in the company.

Gu Yu and Lin Xinyue walked back to the company side by side.

Standing at the door, looking through the clear glass, Gu Yu was surprised to find a small group of people in the development department's office area, heads down and bustling about.

That shouldn't be right!

Laoer had already led the team away, so the development department's project should have temporarily stopped.

What's the deal with these few still working?

Gu Yu hurried over, "What are you guys doing? Isn't it Saturday? Why are you still working on a company holiday?"

But as soon as he finished speaking, a familiar face lifted his head from the desktop.

"Kang Jia! Damn, why didn't you leave with Manager Yu!"

Seeing this face, Gu Yu's eyes widened in disbelief.

How did they leave behind Kang Jia, the King of Competitions!?

With him here, could the other colleagues in the company even clock out normally?

"Hm? Chairman, you're back. What's up, is there anything you need me to do?"

Seeing Gu Yu looking agitated, Kang Jia was puzzled, yet his hands continued to fly over the keyboard nonstop.

As if his head and hands were controlled by two different command centers; his eyes looked elsewhere, but his hands kept on working autonomously.

"... Were you forgotten by Manager Yu? You definitely were forgotten, weren't you? I'll call the bus driver right away to have him come back and pick you up!"

Gu Yu was full of rejection.

How could they let Kang Jia stay in the company!

This guy always had an endless amount of work!

If Gu Yu didn't know that this guy wasn't in it for the money, he would definitely think he was here to rack up the company's overtime fees.

Gu Yu pulled out his phone, ready to call and have the bus driver return.

But Kang Jia quickly stopped him.

"No, Chairman, it was my own choice to stay!"

"The company's new game project can't stop, I must ensure the daily progress is completed as usual."

Kang Jia said seriously.

People can leave, but the department's work must not stop!

"But now, there are only five of you left in the development department. Twenty people have left, how will you ensure the progress?"

Gu Yu felt numb.

These guys were truly dedicated, but how could five people possibly complete the work of twenty-five?

Hearing Gu Yu's question, Kang Jia gave a mysterious smile, reached out, and patted the backpack by his feet.

"What's inside that?"

Gu Yu was curious.

"Blankets! Pillows!"

Kang Jia tilted his head back proudly, looking like he was seeking praise.

Gu Yu was stunned, his gaze turning to each person's desk and indeed, at everyone's feet was a backpack like that.

Were these guys planning on sleeping at the company?
