If she only dated without getting married, her parents would likely disapprove.
Seeing her expression, Wushuang nudged her.
"Oh, don't be so serious. Actually, for me, marriage is just an extra piece of paper. So many people don't register their unions these days, we wouldn't be that unconventional."
"As for my parents, they'll eventually understand with time. As long as he treats me well, I don't think these things are problems."
It was the same old saying; in the past, Tian Tian might have found Wushuang's thinking reasonable.
But now, having just experienced the pain of separation from Chen Dongyang, she didn't think living for the moment was a good idea.
A woman's youth was only a few years. If Wushuang exhausted hers with him only to be dumped, she would be in tears.
"You yourself aren't against marriage, yet you're willing to make such a big concession for him. Has your relationship really reached that point?"
"I don't know him, so I can't give you advice. But I have to remind you, Wushuang, some men are very deep in their thoughts. They use the guise of deep affection to do all sorts of scumbag things. Don't give your heart away so quickly."
Wushuang knew what she meant and leaned on her shoulder with a smile.
"I understand what you're saying. Thank you for thinking so much for me. Let's just see how things go. We haven't been dating for very long, after all. Maybe I'll change my mind later."
Wushuang was a very naive and pure girl, just like her. They were both experiencing their first loves. Tian Tian understood her current sweet fantasies of being in love and patted her hand.
"How about this? You invite him out for a meal. I'll meet him. At least let me size him up for you."
Wushuang's brow furrowed at this suggestion.
"I actually brought it up with him. I said I only have you as my best friend, and when I get a boyfriend, I have to introduce him to my best friend. But he said he's been busy with work lately and wants to postpone it."
"My dear, it's not that I don't value you. Can we wait a little longer?"
Whether it was because she had just gone through a breakup and found fault with everything, or because of women's innate sixth sense, Tian Tian always felt that Wushuang's relationship was a bit strange.
But she hadn't met the director and didn't know his character, so it wasn't good to make assumptions without evidence. She held back her words.
The next day, Tian Tian re-organized the materials sent by Chen Dongyang and found an old classmate who worked in gaming to evaluate whether the project had value for launch.
Her old classmate, after having it professionally assessed, believed that combined with current trends, it had value for launch, but the returns might not be very high.
He assumed Tian Tian wanted to sell him the copyright and hinted that he wasn't interested in buying.
Tian Tian said, "I'm just asking if it has value. I'm not trying to force it on you, don't worry. I made this myself, and I plan to operate it myself."
"That's impressive, Tian Tian. Diversifying your ventures, even dabbling in games. Are you trying to steal our jobs?"
"Exactly. If you don't improve, maybe the game market will be mine in the future too."
Although her classmate was joking, he still offered a lot of professional advice and taught her how to operate it.
Tian Tian entrusted the initial operations to him, paying him a fee, but with one condition: the advertising company was to be designated by her.
Having been best friends with Wushuang, and never having helped her in her career, Tian Tian wanted to use this opportunity to let Wushuang gain some recognition within the company and improve her standing with her director.
Her classmate agreed and had the relevant personnel from his company contact the advertising firm. Soon, everyone was at the stage of negotiating the contract.
Tian Tian personally appeared, dressed impeccably, and went to Wushuang's advertising company with her classmate.
Having not informed Wushuang beforehand, Wushuang was stunned when the director of the business department brought the clients, who were her classmates, for a tour of the company.
Thinking that as a mere copywriter, she shouldn't interact with clients, she just smiled at Tian Tian and didn't speak proactively.
To her surprise, Tian Tian walked up to her.
"Wushuang, why aren't you greeting an old classmate?"
The owner of the game company was also Wushuang's classmate. Not knowing she worked there, he walked over with Tian Tian.
"It really is. I didn't expect to run into you here. No wonder Director Jiang specifically wanted to come to your company; it turns out it was for your sake. Your friendship is quite strong."
Upon seeing that acquaintances from within his company were also clients, the business director quickly called Wushuang's director over.
This was the first time Tian Tian saw the incredibly charming man Wushuang spoke of.
He wore a black suit and a white shirt, a very standard professional attire, and his looks were ordinary.
However, as an experienced professional and a high-ranking executive in an advertising company, he possessed high emotional intelligence and spoke very wisely, which added a lot to his appeal.
Tian Tian's first impression of him was also quite standard.
After everyone toured the company, they went to the conference room to discuss. Tian Tian specifically requested that Wushuang also participate.
"I came to your company specifically for Zhu Wushuang, so this business must be handled by her throughout."
She looked at the business director, "Do you have any objections?"
Even if he had objections, he wouldn't dare voice them in front of the client. With such a significant contribution being snatched by an ordinary copywriter, the director felt a bit uncomfortable.
"No objections. We all work for the company. If every employee could proactively bring in clients like Xiao Zhu, the pressure on our business department would be much less."
That was good. After some discussion, they signed the contract on the spot.
With an advertising investment of two million, while not a particularly large business, Wushuang never expected to gain such recognition within the company and was overjoyed.
After Tian Tian left the company, she sent her a WeChat message.
"My dear, why didn't you give me a heads-up? It was such a surprise! He even praised me after you left."
"Praised you for what?"
"Praised me for my capability, for being low-key, and for making good friends. If he had known my best friend was you earlier, he might have been eager to ask you out for a meal."
Tian Tian frowned upon hearing this, "That's perfect then. Let's have dinner together tonight. Introduce him to me."
Wushuang hesitated, "Aren't you afraid?"
"Afraid of what? Afraid he'll use his relationship with you to get to me? Impossible. I'm a professional. You did well this time, and there will be opportunities for future collaboration. If the work isn't satisfactory, I won't show favoritism to anyone."
Wushuang said, "That's good. As long as I don't cause you any trouble."
The dinner was successfully arranged, and the director generously booked a high-end hotel.
In the spacious private room, there were only the three of them.
Wushuang and the director sat together, while Tian Tian sat opposite them.
It was like playing chess, with a "Chu River and Han Border" separating them.
During the meal, the man was very gentlemanly, attending to Wushuang and then turning to care for Tian Tian. They didn't discuss work, only chatted about trivial matters.
It was precisely because of his high emotional intelligence and meticulousness that Tian Tian became even more certain.
This guy was too deep, not someone Wushuang could handle. She truly worried for Wushuang.
Between being busy with game matters and returning to work, Tian Tian finally had less time to think about Chen Dongyang.
