“I am the only variable.”
All along.
Henry Clark has treated her dreams as an RPG game, which is a very interesting experience.
Everyone in the dream is an NPC.
They each have their own storylines, their own quests, and Henry Clark can fully participate, learn a story, join an event, or change an ending.
After all, in a dream you can do whatever you want, reload infinitely, and try as many times as you like.
So Henry Clark rarely encounters problems she can’t solve or quests she can’t complete.
But this time...
“It’s pretty difficult, there are too many things I can’t figure out.”
Rustle.
Henry Clark took out another sheet of A4 paper and wrote on it:
[Unsolved Mysteries]
1. What exactly is hidden inside the safe?
2. What exactly is the password to the safe?
3. Why did CC save me? Her attitude toward me is also very subtle, very strange.
“That’s all for now.”
Henry Clark looked at these three questions weighing on her mind.
She felt there were absolutely no clues or breakthroughs for the first two.
As for the third question...
Why did CC save her, and why is her attitude so subtle?
“It feels like it’s not the first time she’s met me, at least she’s never thought about killing me.”
“But then again, she doesn’t know me at all.”
“Actually, she does trust me more than a little, willing to listen to me and try so many passwords.”
“Then again, maybe she’s just desperate and grasping at straws?”
Her thoughts started to get jumbled again—she could compete for the ‘Mao Dun Literature Prize’ at this rate.
Henry Clark yawned.
“Better get some sleep. You can’t take things in dreams too seriously, there are plenty of illogical parts.”
...
The next day.
Company meeting room.
Everyone stared at the drawings on the table, utterly shocked!
“This... wasn’t it just a rough sketch yesterday? How come today we already have the full three-view drawings, and the completion is so high! We could start production and printing right away!”
“Are you stupid? Yesterday Henry Clark just casually sketched something, but that doesn’t mean she only started designing yesterday! With the design this complete... Henry Clark must have been working on it privately for at least two months.”
“It’s so cute, I’ve never seen such an adorable kitten! I said yesterday, the cat Henry Clark designed has huge potential! Once it’s polished and colored... it’ll definitely rival Hello Kitty!”
“From a professional perspective, the design language of this cat is very avant-garde. I can’t even imagine... what girl could resist buying such a cute cat? Henry Clark really is silent until she stuns everyone!”
...
Usually, when President Grace Harris is present, everyone is more reserved and never dares to discuss things so loudly.
But today, the results Henry Clark presented were just too astonishing, and the shock in everyone’s hearts couldn’t be contained.
First, the speed.
Second, the quality.
If they didn’t know the inside story, they’d really think Henry Clark had plagiarized another company’s finished product!
Today, Grace Harris was dressed all in black, looking especially sharp and heroic, with an aura that warned ordinary people to keep their distance.
But now, as she looked down at the design draft, she was smiling with satisfaction:
“This is truly an outstanding brand image, far better than I imagined, far beyond my expectations... by several times.”
“It’s clear that Henry Clark put a lot of effort into designing this cat. Suddenly, I feel that just using this cat as a mascot or for advertising is a waste. I have a new idea now.”
“But before that... we need to give this adorable cat a name.”
Grace Harris looked up at Henry Clark, her eyes full of affirmation and praise:
“Henry Clark, since you designed this cat, you should be the one to name her!”
Everyone looked at Henry Clark.
Many colleagues from the design department secretly gave Henry Clark a thumbs up.
“The name of this cat...”
Henry Clark propped up her chin, looking at the big screen with the sign for “7th Rhine Brand Image Design Discussion”...
“Since the company’s new brand is called Rhine.”
“Then this cat’s name will be ‘Rhine Cat.’”
Chapter 8 Rhine
“R... Rhine Cat?”
That simple? That casual?
The colleagues started discussing.
“Isn’t Rhine Cat pretty good?”
Henry Clark explained:
“Since it’s a brand image, it should serve to promote the brand first and foremost. I don’t think there’s a more suitable name than Rhine Cat.”
“Rhine Cat, it really is good.”
Grace Harris nodded:
“From the company’s perspective, if you’re willing to tie this cat to the brand name, that’s exactly what we want.”
“Of course, since you’ve made such a big contribution to the company, we’ll definitely reward talent like you.”
Clap clap.
Grace Harris clapped her hands, signaling everyone to quiet down:
“Now, I’m going to announce a new personnel appointment!”
A personnel appointment?
As soon as they heard someone was being moved, everyone immediately quieted down and sat up straight.
Grace Harris picked up the Rhine Cat design draft, looked at everyone, and said:
