I was arrested for working a part-time job during summer vacation; they said I committed war crimes?

Chapter 2 This is a small startup team during the summer vacation

"Hello, students. Would you mind being interviewed? I'm Chen Bingbing, the host of the 'Inspirational College Students' program."

Chen Bingbing blocked the way for the three of them, looking at them with a smile.

The boy in the lead glanced at the camera first.

Then he nodded and said, "That's possible, but we're in a hurry to get to class, so we need to be quick."

"No problem, just a few minor questions." Chen Bingbing moved the microphone forward slightly. "Let me briefly introduce myself first."

"Gu Qingzhou, a junior majoring in Mechanical Engineering Materials."

Chen Bingbing nodded: "Hello, Xiao Gu. Today is the first day of school. I wanted to ask how your summer vacation was? Did you do anything special?"

Gu Qingzhou replied without hesitation, "I had a fulfilling summer vacation, but I didn't do anything special. I just worked part-time to save up for tuition."

Chen Bingbing's eyes lit up, and she immediately gave a thumbs-up, "You did a part-time job during summer vacation? That's great! Thumbs up! Could you tell me more about what kind of part-time job it was?"

"Sale."

"Oh, that's good. Gu, what are the features of the products you're promoting? Should our program give you a 'GG' (a Chinese internet slang term for a sarcastic or critical comment)?"

"Would a gas cylinder that explodes be considered unique?"

"A gas cylinder? It can explode?" Chen Bingbing asked in surprise. "Are you kidding me, classmate? Your products are so unsafe!"

"Not only that, I also sell water pipes that can breathe fire and toy motorcycles that can fly," Gu Qingzhou said with a grin.

The air suddenly became quiet.

Chen Bingbing's smile froze on her face, leaving her looking completely bewildered.

The viewers in the live stream were also baffled by him.

"Dude, are you serious?"

"How come I don't understand any of the stuff he's trying to sell?"

"Isn't a gas cylinder that can explode like a cannonball?"

"Are the water pipes you're selling 7.62 millimeters thick and rifling-cut?"

"This guy isn't selling gas cylinders, he's selling weapons."

"Are you a salesperson for Norinco Group?"

—"Norinco Group: Are you being polite? We don't sell this kind of stuff."

"—Do the water pipes you're selling have rifling?"

— "7.62 mm inner diameter, four right-hand rifling grooves, those who know, know."

"A gas cylinder can explode? Isn't that like a gas cylinder mortar?"

"I've never seen a flying motorcycle, I've only ever seen a rideable motorcycle."

Chen Bingbing opened her mouth, as if to say something, but then swallowed it back.

Having worked as a journalist for so many years and interviewed countless people, this was the first time she had ever heard of a part-time job selling "explosive gas cylinders."

Gu Qingzhou, however, remained completely serious.

She had absolutely no idea whether he was really selling these things or joking.

However, her professional ethics told her that this topic should not be explored any further.

Whether the other person is serious or joking, continuing to ask questions could lead to problems.

Chen Bingbing decided to change her target.

She looked at the girl next to her, who was wearing a white dress and had thick bangs, and asked, "Excuse me, could you introduce yourself?"

The girl looked up, and through her thick bangs, her big eyes peered at Chen Bingbing through her black-rimmed glasses. A hint of confusion flashed across her innocent expression, as if she were wondering if she was also going to be interviewed.

After hesitating for a moment, she spoke softly, "Shen Yao is also a junior majoring in Mechanical Engineering Materials."

Chen Bingbing asked with a smile, "Shen Yao, did you also work a part-time job during the summer vacation?"

Shen Yao tilted her head, seemingly deep in thought about the question.

After thinking for a while, she asked somewhat uncertainly, "Does playing games count as a part-time job?"

Chen Bingbing was completely confused: "Playing games?"

"Yes." Shen Yao nodded seriously, "I played games all summer, for long periods of time every day."

Chen Bingbing didn't know how to respond to that.

He could only chuckle awkwardly twice before turning to the last boy.

The tall, muscular, dark-skinned boy stood silently to the side.

When he saw Chen Bingbing looking at him, his dark face turned slightly red.

"Hey student, what about you? What did you do during your summer vacation?" Chen Bingbing handed over the microphone. "Oh, right, you should introduce yourself first."

The boy's face turned even redder, the redness spreading from his neck all the way to his ears.

He opened his mouth, then closed it again, then opened it again, stammering for a long time before finally squeezing out a few words through his teeth, "Shen... Shen Zheng."

The sound was so faint it was like a mosquito's buzz.

"Can you tell me what you did during summer vacation?" Chen Bingbing asked with a smile.

"part time."

"Oh? Your job is also as a salesperson?"

"No, no," Shen Zheng quickly waved his hand and said, "Does real-life CS count?"

"Live-action CS? Of course!" Chen Bingbing breathed a sigh of relief and pressed on, "You work at the live-action CS experience center, right? Isn't it interesting?"

"It's alright," Shen Zheng said, scratching the back of his head with an innocent expression. "It's just that sometimes it's pretty creepy, not to mention the blood everywhere, and..."

He hadn't finished speaking.

Gu Qingzhou, who was standing nearby, quickly reached out and covered his mouth.

He apologized to Chen Bingbing, "Bingbing, please don't mind, my brother here is a bit slow on the uptake and often makes unfunny jokes..."

He was furious.

These two rascals, how come they're so well-behaved?

They say whatever comes to mind!

One said playing video games, the other said live-action CS.

If someone digs deeper into this, what will happen?

"Actually, we're a team," Gu Qingzhou added. "I'm in sales, responsible for external business liaison, and the other two are the logistics support team, responsible for product maintenance and technical support."

"A team?" Chen Bingbing was somewhat surprised. "You've actually formed a formal startup team?"

"Yes, a small startup team during the summer vacation." Gu Qingzhou made up a lie with a straight face. "The division of labor is clear, and the team works together seamlessly. I go out to run business and talk to clients, while the two of them provide support from behind the scenes. They are indispensable."

Chen Bingbing nodded as if she suddenly understood, and exclaimed, "You guys are really professional! It's really impressive that college students can have such a strong sense of teamwork and entrepreneurial spirit, dividing tasks and cooperating, each doing their own job."

She looked at Gu Qingzhou: "You're in sales, responsible for selling products."

Then, looking at Shen Yao, he asked, "She's in logistics support, so playing games might be... for product testing?"

Then, looking at Shen Zheng, he said, "He's also in logistics support, so the live-action CS role might be... in charge of product experience?"

Gu Qingzhou nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, Sister Bingbing is absolutely right. Shen Yao is playing games to test our product's control system, and Shen Zheng is playing live-action CS to test the product's practical... uh, actual usage effect."

"Professional, really professional," Chen Bingbing exclaimed sincerely. "Young people these days are amazing. Not only do they start their own businesses, but they also do it so professionally."

"Something feels off about me."

—"Testing a product's control system? What kind of product needs to be tested with games?"

—"Testing actual performance? What products need to be tested in a live-action role-playing game?"

"This guy surnamed Gu speaks with such eloquence, he's a seasoned veteran."

"The other two were indeed honest people; they almost confessed everything, but this guy managed to smooth things over."

— "Hahaha, one is responsible for covering up the lie, and the other two are responsible for giving away the truth. This combination is amazing."

"I have a feeling these three are hiding something."

—"The more I look at it, the more suspicious it seems."

Gu Qingzhou glanced at her watch and gave an apologetic smile: "Sister Bingbing, we really have to go to class now, we're going to be late."

"Alright, alright, I won't keep you any longer, go to class." Chen Bingbing quickly made way for her.

Gu Qingzhou nodded politely, then led Shen Yao and Shen Zheng quickly toward the teaching building.

Chen Bingbing watched the three figures walk away, smiled at the camera, and said, "These three students are quite interesting, especially Xiao Gu, who is a very thoughtful college student."

"Now that classes have started, how about we go with Bingbing to the teaching building and see how university students attend classes?"
