The System Mistook Me for a Cat

Chapter 126

**Name Collision!**"That was their idea first..."

We worked so hard to come up with a name, only to find it was already taken!

"I told you they came up with it first!"

"Can't 'they' just change it—"

"No."

A group of "youngsters" who hadn’t attended college were disappointed to discover the name collision. During the meeting, they had overloaded the other attendees with excessive information. It wasn’t until Manxing went back to tidy up that she realized something was off. But after some thought, she realized the game really suited the name "Learning Pass," as the focus on learning outweighed the gaming aspect.

Still, something felt strange.

So, within the company, the employees, feeling a bit awkward, decided to change the name to "Learning Pass (Cat Edition)." The final name would be decided later, as there was still plenty of time from game design to official release.

However, internal testing and seminars could start right away.

The meeting was held online, scheduled on a weekday, with key members from the branch offices attending. You Zhenzhen even brought Tian Shi, who was slacking off at her own company, to the meeting.

This time, Chu Tingwu explained the game design more clearly. Tian Shi listened and couldn’t help but remark:

"Seems like... a huge investment?"

But it also sounded really fun.

Tian Shi wasn’t technically an employee of Wu Voice Group, but due to various connections, she always managed to sneak into important meetings. She had gone from being a fan to someone with insider information, collaborating long-term with her idol’s company on outsourced projects... a truly dedicated fan.

Tian Shi: "=="

After listening to the meeting next door, she couldn’t help but come up with several ideas and additional designs. She opened a new document and started typing. But as she typed, her boss sent her a message, asking her to come to the office.

Tian Shi: "..."

Oh no.

While their company usually turned a blind eye to employees doing outsourced work, Tian Shi was embarrassed to realize—she wasn’t actually doing outsourced work this time. She usually didn’t do her side projects in the office... because this time, she was providing designs for free, without charging her idol.

She was basically working out of love!

But her boss didn’t care about that.

After finishing overtime and returning to her rented apartment, Tian Shi lay on the sofa. The billboard outside her window had already changed its content. This was downtown Sea City, a symbol of prosperity and expense. She had graduated from a prestigious university, outcompeted all her peers to land her current job... but the initial excitement and passion had long since cooled. After work, she spent most of her time in a daze.

Later, she decided she couldn’t go on like this and picked up her old hobby—chasing idols and creating fan content. To produce better content for her idol, she used her spare time to continue improving herself. Over the years, the only idol she still followed was Chu Tingwu... and she had even infiltrated her idol’s company.

Whatever, time to sleep. Tomorrow, I’ll check when the national biology competition results come out.

But the next morning, Tian Shi received a different call.

It was from Wu Voice Group headquarters, formally asking if she’d be willing to come in for an interview. If she passed, she’d be in charge of the "Learning Pass (Cat Edition)" project.

Tian Shi: "?"

Tian Shi was furious: "You’re such a big company, can’t you stop with the nepotism? Do I have any experience? This project is huge; it’ll probably spin off into its own subsidiary. Are you expecting me to be the general manager then? I’m just a designer; I know nothing about running a company. What if we lose money? Even if your boss doesn’t care, I care if she loses money!"

HR: "Uh..."

You’re not even hired yet, but your sense of responsibility already surpasses most people.

The HR didn’t expect to have to explain that the company wasn’t practicing nepotism and to list out Tian Shi’s qualifications—it felt like the roles were reversed—but Tian Shi was indeed a suitable candidate. She might lack management experience, but her personal and professional background was solid, and she clearly cared more than most.

"Because it feels like you really like this project?" Chu Tingwu later said when she called Tian Shi.

Tian Shi’s full name was Su Xuan. Facing her idol, she was much more polite:

"Then I’ll go lose money for you."

Chu Tingwu laughed: "Then I hope you make an interesting project while losing money. Profit and fun—you gotta have at least one, right?"

Tian Shi thought that made sense. Wu Voice Group had recently opened a branch in Sea City. While going through her resignation process, Tian Shi, with the help of new colleagues, began assembling a game development team. Everything was in its infancy, and she felt like there was an endless amount of work. One late night, while scrolling through news updates, she suddenly realized—

The national biology competition results were out!

-

When Chu Tingwu arrived at the training camp with her luggage... she realized that most of the national training team were familiar faces.

The top 77 in the national competition received gold medals, and the top 50 entered the national training team. But most of the people here, Chu Tingwu had already met during the winter camp, and they had all seen her too.

The International Biology Olympiad was in July, but the training camp didn’t teach them any courses. Instead, they were subjected to rounds of exams—just like during the winter camp. Lecture time was reduced, and exams became more frequent. After each exam, they weren’t told their rankings, but they always received their scores.

Chu Tingwu could feel a cold yet intense atmosphere. The students here were the top of their age group nationwide. Barring any surprises, they’d likely continue being classmates in university... except for Chu Tingwu, who, after exams, would

The one with its eyes still closed was her Xi Bao!!!
