Chapter 277

Ye Xi laughed until she was out of breath, took a deep breath, and then said, "I have recorded the entire process from the moment the guards violently took us away, to you forcing me to sign and identify Sui Sui, including that 'female loser' comment. Oh my, guess what will happen next?"

Han Chen's expression turned gloomy. Suddenly, the conference room door was pushed open violently, and an employee from the PR department walked in hurriedly, looking nervous: "President Han, there are a large number of protesters outside, they are demanding the release of Qiao Suisui and Ye Xi, and the media is already reporting on this matter."

Han Chen's expression turned even gloomier; he clearly hadn't expected things to develop to this point.

Eight hours ago.

Qiao Suisui and Ye Xi were on the plane, deducing all possible situations.

The two discovered that even if they directly used the media and live-streaming to expose it, they might eventually be counter-attacked by INF Company, because they were fighting against capital, a huge company, and a brand trusted by players.

Ye Xi was somewhat resigned, and she said dejectedly, "Let's just be simple and crude, I'll go attract the fire directly, anyway I'm on their blacklist, and then you force your way in and turn off that damn erasure program!"

Qiao Suisui remained silent.

Ye Xi probably thought her plan was outrageous, so she stopped talking too.

After a long silence, Qiao Suisui suddenly spoke: "What if... we can't beat them, so we join them?"

"Huh?" Ye Xi adjusted her glasses, leaned over, and asked, "I'll give you 50, tell me more about your revenge plan."

Qiao Suisui leaned against her ear and told her thoughts in detail. The more Ye Xi heard, the brighter her eyes became.

She knew she couldn't go head-to-head with INF, she could only win by wit, so she planned to set off a smoke bomb first, making Han Chen think her goal was to expose the company's erasure of players' game worlds in the live-stream. This way, Han Chen would definitely take action to fight back. At this time, Qiao Suisui could cooperate with Ye Xi, pretending to be at a disadvantage, and use a pinhole camera hidden under her collar to record the entire process. They originally planned to guide the topic in the process, making Han Chen reveal his flaws and admit in his own words that INF Company used improper means to trick Ye Xi out of the game design copyright. In this way, Qiao Suisui had one more bargaining chip in her hand.

Qiao Suisui and Ye Xi probably didn't expect that the assistant would be so helpful, like an undercover agent sent by their side, daring to say anything.

Ye Xi was laughing at this point too. All her recordings were uploaded to the cloud in real-time. She only needed to press that inconspicuous button in the center of her glasses to achieve transmission, and she had done this action thousands of times in the past, so it was too natural, and the assistant didn't notice at all.

Time returned to the present. Han Chen looked at Qiao Suisui, growling in uncontrollable anger: "What on earth did you do?"

Qiao Suisui raised her eyes lightly, looking directly at Han Chen, and said, "I didn't want to go to this extent, I just wanted to negotiate terms with you properly, but from the beginning, President Han didn't take me seriously, thinking we weren't worthy of negotiating terms with you. I wonder if President Han still thinks so now?"

Han Chen was so angry that he hooked his tie and pulled it down. He stared at Qiao Suisui, smiling very grimly.

"Very good, you are very good."

Then he asked the PR department to bring over the latest situation, and saw that the assistant's words just now had become a short video circulating on all major public platforms—

"Those players are all empty, hungry female losers like you. We spent a lot of money to make this game to fill their hearts, and you're still talking about self-worth in the live-stream, ridiculous."

Once this video was pushed, it quickly occupied the public's vision, and the entries were also very inhumane: #INFCompanyDespisesPlayers#, #CanGameDevelopersNowScoldPayingPlayers#, #INFCompanyHumanBloodBun#, #INFCompanyAndKoreansWhoIsBetterAtStealing? GameOriginalDesignerActuallyThreatened#. Han Chen slammed the iPad on the ground, and the employees didn't dare to breathe loudly. The assistant just now also knew he had caused trouble, his face turning pale.

The man panted and glared at Qiao Suisui, but when he spoke, he was methodical in instructing the PR department: "Issue a notice immediately, the involved employee has been dismissed, and a solemn apology will be made to calm public opinion and player anger first. Also, coordinate with various platforms to take down all related entries and lower the trending search!"

The PR department employee said very embarrassedly, "We contacted the platforms immediately, but it seems someone was one step ahead of us."

Han Chen frowned and asked with his eyes, only to hear the employee say: "The account that posted it is just a newly registered account. Logically, it's impossible for this traffic pool to be pushing it for him, but now it seems that from the video release to fermentation, it's been less than ten minutes, there must be someone operating behind the scenes." At the same time, the landline phones in the open work area kept ringing, and dozens of them were ringing at the same time from all directions, like a death symphony.

An employee picked up the phone, said hello, and was then nailed to the spot, then he turned around slowly, his face full of the helplessness and difficulty of a worker.

The person said: "President Han, the front desk called and said, said—"

"Say it!" Han Chen was on the verge of an outbreak, almost shouting it out.

"There is a Mr. Guan, who brought a team of lawyers, in the lobby. Said, said you must release his student immediately."

Han Chen held his forehead, not understanding why all the bad things happened today, and shouted angrily: "What student, find someone to receive—"

The employee was afraid of being scolded, so he cut him off before he could finish: "He said his student's name is Qiao Suisui."

Han Chen finally understood at this moment that the young girl in front of him had come prepared, not acting recklessly.

Qiao Suisui was always calm. She looked at Han Chen and said, "Perhaps, President Han feels that I am qualified to negotiate with you now?"

Han Chen sneered, waved everyone away, and at this moment, only the two of them were left in the conference room.

"You are very smart." He stared at Qiao Suisui.

"Thank you, you are very arrogant." Qiao Suisui was not afraid at all, saying: "It was your contempt that made my plan go unexpectedly smoothly."

Han Chen's expression was ugly. "Tell me, what do you want? Going to such great lengths, is it just to have me not erase your game world?"

"I want you to give me the operating rights for this game."

Han Chen leaned back, looking at her in disbelief, as if he hadn't heard clearly, and said, "Say that again?"

Qiao Suisui didn't have any timidity because of his attitude; on the contrary, she said very firmly: "Give me the operating rights, and in the mainland market, I will give you twice the current overseas revenue."

Han Chen narrowed his eyes, and only then did he truly look Qiao Suisui up and down carefully.

Although INF had strong capital, it didn't mean this project was profitable. In fact, due to early R&D, this game was still in a state of loss, which was why Han Chen cared so much about this promotional opportunity.

Overseas female users didn't have as huge a demand as mainland female users, and Ye Xi's design was very localized from the beginning, which was something that had always kept Han Chen tied up. He could only do some East Asian markets, and the sales performance in North America and other places didn't look good.

Han Chen didn't show it on the surface, but he felt shocked in his heart. Such business insight actually came from the seemingly weak girl in front of him.

She looked like she had just reached adulthood, her exquisite face being the object of affection for all university boys. At this age, it should be the age of kissing and cuddling with those immature boys, but the person in front of him was confidently talking business with him.
