Transmigrating Into a Book, the Villain Becomes the White Moonlight!

56: Chapter 56 A Satisfactory Son-in-LawNow, it’s gotten to the point where he can’t even find a moment to completely lie flat; he feels busier than his dad.

”Breakfast is on the table. You must finish it before you go, or it won’t be good for your stomach,” Shang Hui reminded him before leaving.

”Got it, Mom,” Su Bai replied weakly.

He dawdled, got dressed, and finished breakfast before driving to the Lin Corporation building and skillfully walking into the already well-established game project department.

Lin Guohua was already waiting in the office. As soon as he saw Su Bai, he immediately stood up with a beaming smile and greeted him, ”Su Bai, you’re here! Come, sit, sit! I was just thinking of talking to you about that esports event plan you mentioned earlier. The game is so popular now, shouldn’t we put it on the agenda? Do you have any idea how to go about it specifically?”

Su Bai sat on the sofa opposite Lin Guohua, rubbing his still-sore neck. He replied, ”Uncle Lin, I’m already scouting locations and building the venue, but it will take at least half a year to complete and put into use. It’s too early to rush into a large-scale offline event now.”

”Ah? Still have to wait more than half a year?” Lin Guohua’s excited expression faded slightly. He rubbed his chin, appearing a bit anxious.

He clearly wasn’t as confident with the pace and ecosystem cultivation of the game industry as he was with traditional industries.

”It’s necessary,” Su Bai explained.

”Most players are still in the stage of familiarizing themselves with the game and improving their personal skills; the soil for professional esports hasn’t fully formed yet. However, preliminary preparations can start now, such as team formation, league admission rules, commercial cooperation models... In this regard, you, having come from the sports industry, should be more knowledgeable than I am.”

He cleverly kicked the ball of professional operations back to Lin Feng.

Lin Guohua nodded in realization, then chuckled self-deprecatingly, ”You’re right, I was too impatient. The game’s popularity, both domestically and internationally, has far exceeded expectations, making me a bit carried away by victory. It’s best to proceed steadily and lay a good foundation first.”

”But some things can be started now,” Su Bai added, giving specific directions.

”For example, trophy design, event brand visual system, and detailed league rules and regulations. I’ve compiled a document with the specific event framework and rules; I’ll send it to you for reference later.”

”Good! I knew you, kid, might seem casual, but you definitely have a complete plan in mind already!”

Lin Guohua immediately beamed, slapping Su Bai on the shoulder with considerable force, completely treating him like a peer, not at all like a teenager.

Su Bai’s shoulder twisted from the slap, and he could only awkwardly twitch the corners of his mouth.

A plan?

He smiled bitterly inwardly. How could he have any original plan? He was just copying successful models verified in another world.

This kind of cheating-like smoothness sometimes made him feel a bit unreal.

His gaze inadvertently drifted to a screen in the open office area on the other side of the office, which clearly displayed a new game character modeling interface.

”New project... already started?” Su Bai raised his chin, gesturing towards it.

”Of course! The new game concepts and preliminary designs you gave are fantastic; the team is highly motivated and has already started preliminary research and prototype testing.”

Lin Guohua followed his gaze, his face full of admiration and excitement.

”Your ideas are not only good but also exceptionally complete, from core gameplay to art style, and even some technical implementation ideas are surprisingly clear. After handing them over to the team, there’s almost no need to take many detours, saving a large chunk of time for repeated debugging and modifications, making efficiency incredibly high!”

Su Bai silently withdrew his gaze, not responding.

Only he knew the source of this efficiency.

While this cheat was convenient to use, watching a massive game empire possibly take shape because of him, a mere porter, made him feel truly complicated.

It felt like his path was diverging further and further.

Just then, a crisp notification sound came from Su Bai’s phone in his pocket.

He casually pulled it out, unlocked the screen, and saw a short line of text:

Thank you, I like it very much.

The sender was – Lin Wan.

Su Bai stared at the six abrupt words, his brows furrowed in confusion.

What’s wrong with this woman?

He quickly recalled his recent, scarce interactions with Lin Wan. Besides meeting at the Orphanage two days ago, there seemed to be no interaction worth her sending thanks for.

Did she send it to the wrong person?

Or was it some new type of social routine from a novel world that he couldn’t understand?

While he was pondering, the sharp-eyed Lin Guohua beside him had taken in the whole scene.

Although he hadn’t seen the specific content, Lin Wan’s contact name and Su Bai’s slightly strange expression while staring at his phone were enough for him, as a father, to imagine an entire youth romance drama.

Lin Guohua’s face immediately bloomed with a knowing and gratified smile. He leaned closer, lowered his voice, and patted Su Bai’s shoulder with a tone that all men understood:

”Su Bai, Wanwan... she’s still young, after all. Sometimes she might have a bit of a temper, and her thoughts are simple, not as thorough and mature as yours. When you two are together, please be more understanding, okay? If she does anything wrong or gets upset, just tell me, and I’ll educate her!”

Ever since establishing a firm foothold in A City by relying on the Su Family’s influence and seeing his own business steadily rise, Lin Guohua found Su Bai more and more satisfactory.

Capable, with family background and status, and with top-notch looks and temperament, he was simply the template for his ideal son-in-law.

Now, seeing that his daughter seemed to have a close relationship with Su Bai, Lin Guohua suddenly felt his life was complete and was greatly comforted.

He used to ask about their relationship, but his daughter always prevaricated or avoided the topic. He had worried that Su Bai didn’t fancy his daughter, but it turned out the young couple had been secretly dating and were too shy to tell their families!

Alas, when a girl grows up, this thoughtful little cotton jacket starts letting the wind blow through to someone else!

Lin Guohua mused happily to himself.

”Oh, right!” Lin Guohua suddenly slapped his forehead, remembering something important. ”Look at my memory! Today is Wanwan’s birthday! I was so busy with the game stuff that I forgot such an important day! And I even called you over specifically...”

”Today?” Su Bai repeated subconsciously, his gaze falling once again on the abrupt thank-you message on his phone screen.

Birthday... thank you... like... several keywords collided in his mind, and a vague and absurd guess began to form.

Wait, is there something not quite right here?

He felt like he had missed a crucial step; the information didn’t match up.

”Yes, it’s today!” Lin Guohua confirmed, his face beaming with the joy of arranging a birthday dinner for his daughter.

He immediately took out his phone and quickly started operating it, first dialing a high-end restaurant to quickly book a private room and dishes, then switching to a chat app to send a message to Lin Wan:

”Wanwan, Su Bai is at my company right now. Dad booked a spot for you two at Cloud Realm! Birthday dinner! I’ll have Su Bai go directly later; you two celebrate well!”
