I Carry a Game World With Me

It was no wonder Engineer Lin was surprised.

He was a capable man, so he could naturally see that if this technology could be realized, it would likely cause a storm in the appliance industry and could even change the entire sector.

However, he wouldn’t know if it was as good as he guessed until the product was actually made.

Lu Feng didn’t waste words, asking directly, "Engineer Lin, I paid a high price for this technology. Help me build this rice cooker as soon as possible, and I’ll reward you for it."

But Engineer Lin replied bluntly, "President Lu, you don’t need to reward me. Just build this rice cooker and have someone improve the conditions for our technical department. That’s enough."

"Alright, it’s a deal." Lu Feng nodded, finding that this Engineer Lin was quite to his liking.

This was certainly a pleasant development.

Lu Feng toured the factory a bit more to check on the situation, which stirred up quite a commotion. After all, the new boss had come in person.

Naturally, the new boss’s age became the main topic of conversation among the employees for the next few days.

Especially among the younger women, chatter like "Our boss is so young," and "Our boss is so handsome," was endless.

After leaving the factory, Yang Lin asked Lu Feng, "President Lu, want to go check out Tianzhou University? The company has fired a lot of people, so we’ve arranged a special job fair there to recruit some university students to fill the gaps. Do you want to come and see?"

Lu Feng nodded immediately, his interest piqued.

Even Yang Ming and Chen Bo, who were beside him, were very interested.

None of them had ever been to university, so they had a natural curiosity about it.

So, the group headed to Tianzhou University together.

As they entered the gates of Tianzhou University, they saw a stately stone stele standing on a lush green lawn, bearing the words "Tianzhou University."

The powerful, vigorous calligraphy seemed to have been carved by a brush soaked in the vicissitudes of time. It also described the glorious history of Tianzhou University.

It was said that this stele had witnessed many glorious historical events.

It had experienced Tianzhou’s passionate and momentous reforms, and it had also witnessed cold and ruthless betrayals.

It had never disappeared from history. Instead, it became a silent witness, imbued with a deep historical resonance.

Lu Feng’s group drove onto the Tianzhou University campus.

He gazed, a bit mesmerized, at the youthful, beautiful figures outside the car window.

It wasn’t just about how beautiful the university girls were. Rather, it was their status as students that made him feel a little wistful. For people like them who had never attended university, the college girls had a special kind of appeal in this setting.

Of course, it was a pure attraction, with no improper thoughts involved.

Yang Lin and the others couldn’t help but marvel at the wonders of fate.

Given their backgrounds, they should have been drifting aimlessly through society until they died, with no idea what their future held.

Now, after such a short time, their circumstances had completely changed, and they were actually here at a place like Tianzhou University to recruit people.

Along the way, Yang Lin didn’t forget to brief Lu Feng. "After we sent our application, the university’s director arranged a multimedia classroom for us. It’s a recruitment presentation specifically for graduating students in the electrical and marketing departments. There’s also a female teacher in charge of liaison. Her voice sounds really nice over the phone, but I don’t know if she’s pretty."

"I see." Lu Feng nodded. He wasn’t particularly interested in that detail.

’As long as Brother Lin handles it well, it’ll be fine.’

The men parked the car and walked toward the multimedia building that Tianzhou University had prepared for them.

After making a call, they saw a female teacher with a great figure and a refined air waiting for them in the distance. She had clearly been there for a while.

But when Yang Ming and Yang Lin saw the teacher, they were stunned.

"It’s her! Chu Yao!" Yang Ming said in surprise.

"It’s her!" Yang Lin, however, just gave a wooden nod, a strange emotion flashing in his eyes.

Lu Feng sensed the shift in atmosphere and couldn’t help but ask, "Brother Lin, do you know this woman?"

Yang Lin fell silent, unsure how to answer for a moment.

Yang Ming, however, explained, "She was your Brother Lin’s first love. They started dating in their first year of high school and were together until their third year. Then, her parents found out about them, and they broke up. Your Brother Lin’s grades were poor, so he dropped out in his last year. Chu Yao went on to university, and they entered different worlds."

"Is that so!" Lu Feng suddenly smiled. "What a coincidence. Brother Lin is here recruiting, and she happens to be the teacher in charge. Maybe it’s fate."

With that, he was already walking toward Chu Yao.

When he reached her, he said directly, "Hello, I’m from Qingfeng Electronics. Are you Teacher Chu, our contact at Tianzhou University?"

Chu Yao looked at the young man before her and said with a warm smile, "Yes, that’s me. I’m responsible for hosting Qingfeng Electronics’ job fair."

Tianzhou University hosted many companies for job fairs every year, and teachers like her were often tasked with receiving them. This time, Qingfeng Electronics was looking to hire 50 employees of various types, which was great news for the university.

After all, the more companies that came to recruit, the less pressure there was on students to find employment.

Just think: students from other universities faced difficulties finding jobs after graduation, some couldn’t find one at all. Meanwhile, more and more students from their university had jobs lined up before they even graduated. What a huge difference that was!

After all, graduate employment rates were one of the key indicators of a university’s quality.

After this brief exchange with Chu Yao, Lu Feng turned and, feigning formality, called out to Yang Lin, "President Yang, this is Teacher Chu. She’s in charge of our job fair."

Yang Lin was stunned when Lu Feng suddenly called him like that. He grew visibly nervous, especially when he saw Chu Yao looking over.

He hadn’t felt this way in a long, long time.

Chu Yao instinctively followed Lu Feng’s gaze. The moment she saw Yang Ming and Yang Lin, she froze as well.

Even though so much time had passed, she could still recognize Yang Ming and Yang Lin’s faces.

She had heard news about Yang Lin even after she started university. She’d heard that he had started running with a bad crowd, that he’d become a complete gangster—a person from a world entirely separate from her own.

Back then, she hadn’t known how to feel about it. Her high school romance had been a whirlwind, and because of it, even though she’d dated in the years since, she had just been going through the motions.

So, seeing Yang Lin so suddenly now, she still didn’t know what to feel.

She never would have imagined it. She had thought they were from two completely different worlds, people whose paths would never cross again. Yet here he was, suddenly the "President Yang" of Qingfeng Electronics—clearly a successful man.

The university must have vetted Qingfeng Electronics before agreeing to host a job fair for them. His identity couldn’t be fake.

At this point, Yang Lin had no choice but to walk forward and greet her. "Long time no see." 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"Ah..." Chu Yao snapped back to reality, replying, flustered, "Yes, long time no see."

Lu Feng and Yang Ming exchanged a look and tactfully led the others away.

No one had expected to run into a movie-like scene like this at Tianzhou University.

But this was a good thing.

After all, Yang Lin was getting on in years and was still single.

Back when he was just fooling around, the girls around him were all airheads. Now that he was in charge of an electronics company, his status was something most men couldn’t compare to.

If this Teacher Chu was still single and they could rekindle their old flame, that would also be a wonderful thing.

Because of this, the job fair itself seemed less important. Even when Yang Lin went on stage to talk to the students about the company, Teacher Chu was right there beside him, chiming in with support.

The rest of the recruitment process fell into place naturally.

For the next few days, Lu Feng jumped back and forth between the game and reality, checking on his base in the game world while also keeping an eye on the electronics company’s situation.

During one visit to the game world, he saw that girl, Cheng Sisi, playing with a special mobile phone along with two computer experts.

The phone was a product from decades in the future, already possessing rudimentary holographic virtual capabilities.

What caught his attention wasn’t the phone itself, but the fact that Cheng Sisi and the others were using the old-fashioned computers he had brought in to write an assistant program for it.

This gave him an idea.

However, that idea would have to wait until the electronics company was on the right track. After all, he had to take things one step at a time.

「Qingfeng Electronics Factory.」

In the technical department, Engineer Lin and his team were looking at the finished components laid out before them.

These were the parts made using the technology the new boss had provided. The components for electrical appliances were actually quite similar, so their existing production lines could manufacture them with just a few model adjustments.

"Engineer Lin, we’ve basically produced all the components," a technician said with a slight frown. "However, for the electromagnetic part, our factory doesn’t have the necessary equipment to complete it."

Hearing this, Engineer Lin immediately said, "Don’t worry. I’ll go borrow a machine from a friend’s lab. They have the equipment to make electromagnetic devices."

After that, Engineer Lin eagerly left the factory and headed to his friend’s laboratory.

He was extremely curious about the rice cooker technology the new boss had brought out and was desperate to build one.

By calling in a favor, it wasn’t long before Engineer Lin brought the needed electromagnetic machine back to the factory and began producing the rice cooker’s electromagnetic components.

After the first electromagnetic component was produced, he and the technicians began assembling the first electromagnetic rice cooker.

With their years of experience in the appliance industry, they quickly assembled an electromagnetic rice cooker.

It just lacked a coat of paint, so it looked a bit rough.

Engineer Lin immediately said to a technician, "Go get some rice. We’re going to test this rice cooker’s performance."

The simplest way to verify a rice cooker’s effectiveness was to cook a pot of rice. No amount of boasting would mean anything otherwise.

The technician immediately went out and brought in a bag of rice. He then washed some and put it into the first electromagnetic rice cooker to start cooking.

As the rice cooker started, it wasn’t long before a fragrant aroma of rice began to waft out through the steam vent.

This scent made Engineer Lin and the others all sniff the air, their faces filled with disbelief.
