Chapter 1045 MOONLIGHT MEDIA TOUR
1045 MOONLIGHT MEDIA TOUR
LUO YAN blinked, unsure if he heard the other correctly. Did he really just ask them to sit on the floor? As he just stood there, Shen Ji Yun was the one who cleared his confusion.
"Or we can just leave Yan Yan's phone here and come back later for it," the other said in a slightly helpless tone. "What do you think, Brother Zhao?"
Zhao Cheng tilted his head before nodding. "Yeah, we can do that."
Shen Ji Yun then glanced at Luo Yan with an apologetic gaze. He seemed to be a bit embarrassed about the whole 'sit on the floor' thing. Luo Yan didn't really mind much and just put his phone on Brother Zhao's desk, unlocking it so the other could put the program in it.
"Please, don't read my messages and look at my gallery," he joked.
"Don't worry, I'm not interested in what's inside a kid's phone," Zhao Cheng said, obviously not getting Luo Yan's joke.
Luo Yan could only laugh awkwardly.
Shen Ji Yun shook his head and held Luo Yan's hand. "We'll go and come back later."
"Come back after 30 minutes," Zhao Cheng only said.
After that, Shen Ji Yun gently pulled Luo Yan out of the office.
He sighed. "I'm sorry about that. Brother Zhao didn't mean anything bad. He's just, well, a 'my pace' kind of guy."
"It's alright. I'm not offended or anything," Luo Yan said.
He was just a bit surprised. Since he didn't interact much with the other during Shen Ji Yun's birthday, he wasn't really familiar with the other's personality. It's only now that he had seen it up front.
If he's not open-minded enough, he would probably be offended. Thankfully, he was, and he's also very sensitive to people's goodwill. So, he knew that the other didn't have any malice behind his actions. Brother Zhao's personality must be just like that. That's why there's no need to be offended.
"Should we do that tour now?" Shen Ji Yun suggested.
"Okay, let's do that."

The tour started on the ground floor. As it was the first thing anyone would see upon entering the building, everyone knew that the ground floor was where the lobby was. Adjacent to it was the company's cafeteria. The ground floor served as a social hub, fostering a relaxed atmosphere all around.
On the second floor was where the virtual and augmented reality labs. Luo Yan quickly became excited when it came to view. The labs were a symphony of cutting-edge technology and creative fervor. Rows of sleek computers lined the room, each station a command center for crafting the next frontier in virtual reality experiences.
The air hummed with the soft whir of powerful processors and the occasional excited murmurs of technicians. In one corner, a group of developers gathered around a monitor, gesturing animatedly as they discussed the intricacies of a virtual landscape. Posters and concept art adorned the walls, providing glimpses into the fantastical worlds being meticulously woven together.
Continuing the journey to the higher floors, Luo Yan explored the heart of the operation—game development studios, graphic design departments, and quality assurance teams. Each floor was a dedicated space where the intricate pieces of game development came together. The atmosphere buzzed with creative energy as developers and designers collaborated to bring Arcadia to life.
They concluded the tour on the rooftop. Where, surprisingly, there was a quaint little coffee shop.
It was situated in one corner of the rooftop. Well, it couldn't exactly be called just a 'corner', but more of a 2/3 of the whole rooftop area. And half of that was green grasses with four sets of high tables. Where people who couldn't sit inside the shop could just stand and put their coffee or other drinks on the table.
On the edge of the grasses were lattice fences that looked like a barrier that separated the shop from the rest of the rooftop area. Starting from there, there's a cobblestone pathway that would lead to the entrance of the coffee shop.
The exterior walls of the coffee shop were adorned with creeping vines. A few strategically placed hanging baskets were overflowing with vibrant flowers. It had large, antique-style windows. Window boxes filled with herbs and trailing plants accentuate the shop's the vintage charm.
A vintage-inspired sign, written in delicate script, announced the coffee shop's name - 'Starry Brew'.
"Wow. I didn't expect a coffee shop to be here," Luo Yan said with a bit of admiration.
"It's actually a recent addition," Shen Ji Yun said. "It just had been here for three years. And surprisingly, it had been a big hit for the employees."
"That's not surprising. Look at this place, it's super cute," Luo Yan commented as they walked inside.
The inside had a collection of mismatched chairs and small tables, each with its own unique character, encouraged customers to find their perfect nook. There was even jazz music playing in the background. Creating a soothing soundtrack to accompany the gentle hum of conversation.
The two of them found a table where they could sit.
"This place is probably usually packed with customers, right?" Luo Yan asked as he looked around, seeing that there weren't that many people inside.
Shen Ji Yun nodded. "It's because people don't usually take breaks during this time of the day."
Luo Yan guessed as much. Then he remembered what Shen Ji Yun said about this place. That the coffee shop was relatively new.
"Is this coffee shop an idea of Uncle Yi Mu or is there a separate owner and they're just renting this space?" he asked curiously.
Shen Ji Yun gave an unexpected answer. "No, this is Brother Zhao's idea, actually. He also owns the shop."
Luo Yan raised his brow. "I never take him as someone who would have this kind of idea. Is he a coffee enthusiast?"
"Not really. I heard from Uncle that Brother Zhao built this place intending to give it to someone. But something happened in the middle and it didn't work out in the end. So the management of the place was just left to the company."
Sorry, late update again. ><
