Protagonist:
Lin Xiyu
"Forget about eating out."
Lin Xiyu thought of the company's tight finances and subconsciously wanted to refuse.
"Not giving me face?"
Guben saw through her little thoughts, smiling and teasing: "The president of a game company treating his own wife to a meal, and actually getting refused."
"No."
Lin Xiyu agonized, trying to find an excuse to brush it off.
"Don't think about it."
Guben pamperingly pinched her cheek and gave her a surprise: "There's happy news today, worth celebrating."
Lin Xiyu's eyes lit up: "What happy news?"
Guben raised an eyebrow: "The game demo is done and can be shown to the outside world."
"Really?!"
Lin Xiyu was overjoyed and jumped up from the sofa all at once.
"Ouch."
Both legs were sore and numb, she couldn't stand steady, and stumbled forward.
Guben was very pleased with her initiative to throw herself into his arms, opened his arms, and caught her in a full embrace.
"This is good news, I'll call Grandma right now..."
Lin Xiyu's ears heated up, and she somewhat embarrassedly took out her mobile phone from her pocket.
"You trust me that much?"
Guben raised an eyebrow, looking with interest at her blushing cheeks: "Not even looking at the demo, just asking if it's true?"
"I don't understand games."
Lin Xiyu said without thinking: "But, I trust you."
"Hehe."
Guben's heart felt warm and comfortable, emitting a pleased laugh from his throat.
—
"The demo is finished?"
"Yay, great."
"Finally can release it, to see the game we made ourselves."
"Congratulations Eldest daughter, congratulations Sister-in-law."
"When will it be released? I want to be the first player of Xingyou Liar Hunter."
"Why should you be the first?"
"The first must be me."
"I'm the first, none of you can compete with me..."
Ten minutes later, the couple walked out of the office and announced the good news publicly, and the whole company instantly became noisy.
Eight game fanatics fought with each other, all wanting to seize the throne of the first player.
"Stop making noise, listen to me!"
Wu Meng's high-pitched voice of eight octaves forcefully suppressed the noise: "Who is the leader of Xingyou Tourism, don't you have a clue in your hearts? The first registered player must be our Eldest daughter, what is there to fight about?"
"Uh."
A group of colleagues were embarrassed and shyly closed their mouths.
"I have an idea about who registers as the first player..."
Guben unexpectedly gently held Lin Xiyu's hand and raised it in front of everyone.
"Sister-in-law?!"
"Xiyu?"
The company instantly fell silent, and including Wu Meng, nine scorching gazes instantly converged on Lin Xiyu.
"Me, me?"
Lin Xiyu was dumbfounded, looking at him somewhat at a loss.
"That's right, it's you."
Guben's eyes showed pampering, deeply and attentively gazing at her: "This idea has existed in my Brain for a long time, since the first day of making the game, I thought about naming a character after you, but I'm also very stingy, only wanting to possess you alone, agonized for a long time, and still gave up."
"Now the demo is formed, and it made me have this thought again, wanting you to participate in the game, it doesn't matter if you don't play games, register a commemorative account, so that all of us seeing this name can think of your silent support behind the scenes."
"Xingyou Tourism is a company belonging to the two of us, with you here, I have the motivation, to take this matter as my mission to complete, continue to strive, make it big and strong."
—
"Thank you for thinking of me."
When Lin Xiyu heard that he once thought of naming something after her own name, her Heartbeat couldn't help but skip a beat.
Having a husband who loves her so deeply, thinking of his lover every moment, it's false to say she's not moved.
Tears of joy unconsciously filled her Eye Root, she was always unaccustomed to showing off affection in front of outsiders, but at this moment she was excited and couldn't hold back, happily throwing herself into his embrace.
"I should be the one to say thank you."
Guben pampered her to the extreme: "Thank you for waiting for me all these years. Without you, there would be no me today......"
Lin Xiyu stood on tiptoe and kissed his cheek.
Guben took the opportunity to pull her close, planting a deep kiss on her forehead.
"Cough cough."
Coughing filled the company.
This wave of dog food was enough to fill everyone up; everyone was dazzled by the scene, and jealousy surged out in waves.
"I raise both hands in approval......"
Wu Meng was the first to raise her hand to express her stance: "The throne of the First Player shall be taken by the President's Wife."
"I agree!"
"I agree too!"
The remaining people echoed in unison.
Not agreeing is not an option!
If this abuse continues, we'll be abused to death.
Single dogs can't take this hurt!
——
Fortunately, the President's Wife had thin skin; hearing the commotion, she blushed red to her ears, her face flushed as she broke free from the President's embrace, saving all the idle onlookers from their misery.
"Everyone, take a look at the clips first......"
Guben, in a very good mood, announced publicly: "After watching, I'll treat everyone. Tonight's dinner, everyone must attend, let's celebrate together."
"Good!"
Hearing they would watch clips, the game maniacs were energized again, happier than hearing about dinner.
Guben turned on the computer and displayed the clips.
"Wow!"
"This image quality is too beautiful."
"3D modeling is so cool."
"Perfect!"
"Is this really a game we made? I can't even believe it myself."
"I can't wait any longer; I really want to play a round right now."
"Me too....."
——
Guben had always pursued perfection; the game he personally led was exquisitely made, with beautiful visuals.
Even though Lin Xiyu didn't like playing games, she felt her eyes light up at a glance.
"I can guarantee that our game will definitely become a hit after release."
Wu Meng was full of confidence: "It's time to go take a look at the 21st floor."
"Go to the 21st floor to do what?"
Li Hao had a one-track mind; besides making games, he knew nothing else.
"Are you stupid?"
Wu Meng gave him a look as if he were an idiot: "You don't know what the 21st floor is for? Going there is naturally to secure investment. Without investment, where does the promotion money come from? Where does the maintenance money come from? Just these two things would cost several million a year, and subsequent R&D investment is even greater. You only know how to spend money; do you know how hard I work?"
"Uh."
Li Hao scratched his nose embarrassedly, scolded by her until his face turned red.
"Each has their own specialty."
Zhang Shan smoothed things over for him: "We're not eating for free either. We've made the game now; once it's released, we can make money."
"You're thinking too beautifully!"
Wu Meng put her hands on her slender waist and struck the pose of a big sister: "The demo is just an incomplete version; it still needs testing, and the design needs to be adjusted according to player feedback. There's still a long way to go before official release. Talking about making money now is a bit too early....."
"Cough cough."
Zhang Shan was cut off by his words, coughed awkwardly twice, and said no more.
Li Hao laughed awkwardly: "You're the Finance Director, so you're right."
"Mm-hmm."
The remaining six colleagues had no objections and nodded in unison.
"Hahaha."
Wu Meng showed off her power for a while, feeling proud and satisfied, laughing loudly and unrestrainedly.
——
The game development was very successful; after the demo of Xingyou Tourism was released on the platform, it attracted many players' support.
Yingrun Investment intended to cooperate, and negotiations between both sides went smoothly.
However, someone happened to dislike it and stirred up trouble; just before the contract was about to be signed, the supervisor of Yingrun Investment suddenly changed their mind and canceled the investment.
"Why?"
Wu Meng couldn't understand, and her gaze toward Hu Qin was very unfriendly.
Hu Qin was the person who exchanged phone numbers with her in the elevator. The two made contact first, and Hu Qin recommended Guben to the President, facilitating the cooperation between both sides.
Originally, Yingrun was very optimistic about Xingyou and intended to invest twenty million yuan. Everyone at Xingyou Tourism was very happy, elated, ready to go all out, and planned to officially release the Hunter before National Day.
With the investment canceled and no operating funds, everyone's mood fell from heaven to hell in an instant, and the company fell into an unprecedented predicament.
"I don't know either. What wind has the President caught......"
Hu Qin was also puzzled, questioning the supervisor's decision.
But he was a subordinate, following orders; even if the supervisor was wrong, he dared not openly defy him.
"I knew it, your lousy company isn't reliable."
Wu Meng gritted her teeth in anger, wishing she could bite a piece of flesh off him.
"Don't take your anger out on me, okay?"
Hu Qin felt wronged: "I really don't know why the supervisor suddenly changed his mind; everything was fine yesterday, and this morning he suddenly said to suspend the cooperation—I'm helpless too, okay?"
"Forget it, there are plenty of investment companies; we're not begging you. If you won't invest, fine—what's so great about it?"
Wu Meng stomped her foot in anger and turned to leave.
"Hey, hey, don't go yet..."
Hu Qin had a good impression of her and harbored thoughts of pursuing her, intending to use this matter to draw closer: "Give me some time; I'll find another chance to ask the supervisor what exactly is going on."
"Fine, go ask."
Wu Meng didn't know his little scheme; hearing this, she indeed stopped.
"Let me think... how should I ask?"
Hu Qin secretly rejoiced, pretending to rack his brains.
"Don't ask; the supervisor won't agree."
His colleague Yang Meng walked out of the office with a grave expression, leaned close to his ear, and whispered a few words.
"Is that true?"
Hu Qin's face changed drastically, and he glanced at Wu Meng with a complex mood.
"What's going on?"
Wu Meng's heart skipped a beat, and a bad premonition surged up.
"Sorry, I really can't help you with this."
After his colleague left, Hu Qin said with some apology: "The supervisor has clearly stated that he won't cooperate with Xingyao anymore, and not only our investment company, but other investment companies won't invest in you either."
"Why?"
Wu Meng's eyes showed despair, and her face instantly turned white without a trace of blood.
Hu Qin couldn't bear to watch; he looked around, saw no outsiders, pressed close to her ear and whispered: "This matter concerns your boss; his background is a bit complicated—his mother took bribes, and when he was practicing law, he got involved in a murder case. Investment most taboos these things; those with a credit crisis will absolutely not be cooperated with."
"Pah!"
Wu Meng spat at him hatefully: "Who's spreading rumors? What credit crisis? Making something out of nothing, and you can fabricate it and spread it like this?"
"Cough, cough."
Hu Qin awkwardly touched his face; the mood to pursue a woman was gone, and he said somewhat flustered: "If you don't believe me, forget it; anyway, this deal is dead, and it's no loss to us."
"No loss?"
Wu Meng sneered: "You've lost big. I'm putting my words here: if you don't cooperate with Xinghe, you'll regret it sooner or later—just wait to find a piece of tofu to kill yourself with."
"You woman..."
Hu Qin's face changed drastically, and he was about to flare up.
Wu Meng didn't give him a chance, spat at him hatefully again, turned around, and ran away like a gust of wind.
"Who exactly will suffer losses? Wait and see."
Hu Qin had a belly full of resentment he couldn't vent, and he kicked the trash can hard in anger.
"Oh my..."
He misjudged his own strength; the trash can wasn't kicked flying, but he sprained his foot, gritting his teeth in pain.
"Serves you right."
Wu Meng saw this scene when she turned back, covered her mouth and chuckled, and rushed into the elevator in the instant before the doors closed.
—
By the Huangpu River.
"I dare not tell Guben this; I can only tell you first, so you can be prepared."
Wu Meng left Yingrun, did not return to her own company, and directly called Lin Xiyu, making an appointment to meet her by the river.
"Those people at Yingrun are too hateful; not investing is one thing, but they're also spreading rumors, slandering, and smearing Guben's image."
"Guben has really been harmed badly by them this time. If it's really as they say, no investment company will invest in us, the company will go bankrupt, and his life will suffer a devastating blow. No matter what he does in the future, he will be discriminated against and will never be able to shake off the stigma of being the son of a corrupt official."
—
"Someone has targeted him..."
Lin Xiyu immediately understood the key point: "Just like when he was practicing law, playing dirty behind the scenes; even after leaving the law firm, they won't let him go."
"Who would it be?"
Wu Meng gritted her teeth in hatred: "So vicious, like a poisonous snake, biting him and not letting go."
"Where is Wang Fan right now?"
Lin Xiyu looked up, toward the direction of the Bund across the river.
"You suspect him?"
Wu Meng's heart trembled.
"I can't rule out that possibility."
Lin Xiyu's eyes were like cold frost: "Since someone is watching us in the dark, we must ferret him out. Whoever it is, this time he has angered me. If I catch him, I will definitely not let him off lightly."
"I don't know where he is; Yun Cheng should know..."
Wu Meng was startled by her suddenly erupting aura and trembled all over.
"I thought so..."
Lin Xiyu snorted, took out her phone herself, and dialed Zhao Yuncheng's number.
"Sister Xiyu, all right, all right, I understand, I'll contact him for you right now..."
Zhao Yuncheng heard her unfriendly tone and dared not delay in the slightest, quickly going to report to the other master behind him.
Not long after, Lin Xiyu's phone rang again, and a long-unheard voice came from the earpiece.
"Yun Cheng says, you're looking for me?"
Wang Fan seemed to be at a bar, with very noisy surroundings, and a woman's coquettish laughter came from the phone.
"Let's pick a place and meet."
Lin Xiyu held her phone farther away, so as not to soil her ears.
"Fine..."
Wang Fan agreed readily: "Tell me a place, I'll go right over."
