Through the book: The villain’s son’s stand-in

Another month passed, and time quietly came to midsummer.

Gu Cheng and James both moved into Nuoan District one after another, but they did not live together. Instead, they chose two buildings in a row and became neighbors no more than a hundred meters apart.

The two became increasingly close, and their attitude of not avoiding suspicion made everyone at the Cultural Department aware of their relationship.

However, these old men and women had no ill feelings towards them, but sometimes when they looked at their slightly shy contact, they couldn't help but reminisce about the past, while talking about what they would have done if they were young at that time.

And Qi Zhi, she was like a little mouse that fell into a rice vat. After being surrounded by a warehouse full of grain, she almost fainted from happiness.

So, she specially opened a website called "Colleagues" to post food, and the frequency of food production changed from once a day to three times a day.

It was a joy to drink.

Regarding the rapid development of their relationship, James' uncle Fran Lawrence was angry and helpless.

He was angry that his little cabbage was so easily taken over by a pig. After observing Gu Cheng for a while, he felt more and more that Gu Cheng was like a tiger falling in Pingyang, or a dragon falling in the shallows.

He is a man of good character and ability.

Although James has the bonus of family background, Gu Cheng is not bad either. He is a rare potential stock.

Fran struggled for a long time and finally chose to let nature take its course.

What else could he do? If he interfered, James would probably hate his uncle.

In this case, it is better to let go and let the children adjust themselves.

But when James brought Gu Cheng to see him, he couldn't help but remind him after pushing James away.

"Gu Cheng, I can see that you are capable and ambitious, but these alone are not enough. If you want to be with James for a long time, you still need to turn these into actual strength."

Gu Cheng nodded in agreement and said without being arrogant or impetuous: "Thank you uncle for reminding me, I'm already making plans."

Fran didn't ask any more questions, just said: "As long as you have a plan, if you encounter difficulties, you can come to me."

He had his hands folded, and he carried the majestic aura of someone who had been in an official position for a long time, making people unconsciously believe in his promise as soon as they saw him.

"I will."

Gu Cheng bowed slightly politely, and Fran smiled with satisfaction, looking at Gu Cheng's eyes like an elder looking at a chick that is about to spread its wings and fly, feeling happy and proud at the same time.

Leaving his meeting with Uncle Lawrence, James eagerly asked what they had said during that time.

He looked nervous, fearing that his uncle would beat him up.

Gu Cheng smiled gently: "Uncle just gave me some inspiration in life."

James keenly noticed the change in Gu Cheng's name for Fran, and happily intertwined his fingers with him.

"You can listen to him on this. My uncle has been in officialdom for decades, and his experience will be very useful to you."

Gu Cheng's big, knuckled hands wrapped around James's, and he suddenly said: "James, I want to create a business that is independent of the family and belongs to us. Are you willing to join?"

James was stunned, but agreed without hesitation.

"You agreed to what I wanted to do without even asking. Aren't you afraid that I would lie to you?" Gu Cheng asked.

James smiled brightly, sincerely and straightforwardly: "Don't be afraid, I don't have a family fortune to inherit. Are you going to all this trouble just to defraud me of all the hundreds of millions of pocket money I have?"

Before Gu Cheng could speak, he shrugged nonchalantly: "Then you lie, and after you've deceived me, I can legitimately live in your house, spend your money, and sleep with your people."

His big eyes were bright, and he seemed to be full of expectations for this result.

Gu Cheng gently tapped his forehead and smiled fondly: "You..."

James touched his forehead, which was not painful, and took Gu Cheng home briskly.

The night fell quietly, with only a few sparse planets hanging in the sky, shining brightly.

On the desk in the study room, Gu Chengzheng was holding a slender pen and writing something on the white paper stroke by stroke.

Although electronic documents are efficient, convenient and difficult to lose, Gu Cheng is still used to being able to clearly see the handwritten records of his entire thinking process at a glance.

Suddenly, a slender point of light passed through the glass, passed through many obstacles, and landed smoothly on Gu Cheng's shoulder.

Gu Cheng lowered his eyes, smiled softly, and didn't pay much attention.

At this time, James' video message arrived.

He sat on the head of the bed, with the dim light shining down from above his head. He hugged his knees, resting his chin on his knees, and tilted his head at him with a smile.

His clear voice with a hint of coquettishness rang in his ears.

"Brother, what are you doing?"

Gu Cheng raised his eyes and glanced at him, and said calmly: "Improve the plan."

James approached curiously: "Your business plan? I want to see it."

After saying that, he was afraid that Gu Cheng would think he didn't believe him, so he explained: "I just want to see what I can do."

Gu Cheng nodded, and then generously displayed the plan in front of him.

After James saw the title of the plan clearly, he couldn't help but read it out.

"Analysis on entry into the gaming industry." He looked at Gu Cheng in surprise: "Brother, why do you want to enter the gaming industry?"

In the general concept of the public, games are usually not associated with good students like Gu Cheng who have both good character and academic performance.

Gu Cheng was not biased at all and replied calmly: "Based on the current conditions, entering this industry is the best choice."

He patiently analyzed: "I have thought about it. Today's games are mostly thrilling adventure games and passionate battle games."

"They use constant upgrades and treasure hunts and adventures as a way to retain players, but I think there's another solution."

He said calmly and eloquently: "Through the profound cultural connotation and historical heritage, battle is no longer a means to vent energy, but a window for learning and play."

“Educating through fun is what my mother taught me.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Cheng saw James showing interest.

He couldn't wait to ask: "So, have you decided what you want to do for the first game?"

Gu Cheng touched his chin thoughtfully: "Probably to create a holographic world that combines interstellar technology and ancient stories."

He did not plan to go against the main theme of the war, but planned to combine existing resources.

Combining battles, holographic simulation, and ancient culture.

Gu Cheng said: "This may be a huge project and may take several years."

It is so difficult to create a world. There are countless financial issues, channel issues, and content issues to consider.

At this moment, Gu Cheng was hesitant and nervous. He was afraid that James wouldn't be able to wait so long.

No matter how deep the love is, it will gradually diminish under the influence of reality and time.

James smiled calmly: "Brother, you know, I have always been very patient when it comes to matters related to you."
