Chapter 234: Turning green

"Do you not want to work here anymore?"

The text message reply has arrived.

obviously.

The other party immediately realized that Li Shuicheng was lying.

After all, Tang Yao is the owner of Avalon.

Upon seeing the reply, Li Shuicheng closed his eyes in despair.

He knew it.

How humorous.

No one believes you when you tell the truth.

Just then, his phone vibrated again. He glanced down at it and said, "Don't try to fool us! This is a big client! Investigate carefully! By the way, I heard Avalon is going to have a public beta test of a new game next week. The client wants firsthand information. Try to get a test package."

"..."

Li Shuicheng looked at the message, remained silent for a moment, then quietly put his phone back in his pocket and walked out of the toilet stall.

Then, as he washed his hands, he looked at his haggard reflection in the mirror and suddenly smiled with relief: "Fine, since you don't believe me..."

After drying his hands, Li Shuicheng made a momentous decision—to resign! Whoever wants to be this damn mole can have it!

Because it was foreseeable.

This situation will likely continue to occur.

The boss of this company is absolutely outrageous!
Thinking about the torment that was to come, he decided to make peace with himself.

After making this decision.

He immediately relaxed.

I heard that Avalon pays a good salary... and the female boss is very nice and generous.

Most importantly, she's so talented, isn't this company destined for great success?
Yes.

Why torture yourself?
As he walked out of the restroom, he ran into a colleague from the testing team: "Hey Li, I was just looking for you. The final test version of Hearthstone is out, and the boss wants you to come over."

Li Shuicheng was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go right away."

……

Nine Heavens.

Yan Yun knocked and entered Shen Lun's office. She looked at Shen Lun somewhat awkwardly and hesitated before saying, "Boss, the anchor you asked the headhunter to inquire about has been found out."

Shen Lun raised his head, his tightly furrowed brows relaxing slightly, and his eyes reddening as he asked, "You found out?"

"Yes, her name is Tang Yao..."

Shen Lun waved his hand and said, "Then what are we waiting for! Let headhunters poach her! No matter the cost, poach her immediately! After poaching her, let her make a public appearance and create an account on ANF using her livestream voice to build up some popularity first."

Then, when the time was right, she was asked to imply to users that she had been treated harshly on Avalon, and at the same time, to say directly that Avalon games were boring, that she didn't like them at all, and that she was forced to stream.

Shen Lun knew, of course, that this was despicable.

But he couldn't care less about that anymore.

Just now, he checked the ANF Games section.

Then, he thought that 100,000 pre-registrations would be the limit for the ANF game section, but when he checked, the game with the most pre-registrations had already exceeded 400,000!
He knew all too well what that meant.

This means relying solely on spontaneous publicity.

Avalon's announcements of just a few games have already attracted a huge number of external players! If this continues...
Once these games are released and put into public beta, Avalon, as a true pioneer in mobile games, is poised to completely monopolize the early-stage profits of the mobile game market!

Shen Lun would absolutely not allow such a thing to happen.

However, Jiuxiao is indeed unable to launch a competing product in the short term.

The only remaining tactic is to smear others.

Even if he didn't know how it would turn out, he was determined to do it first!
Yan Yun looked at his boss, who was excitedly telling him to poach people, and after a moment of silence, he cautiously said, "...Boss, doesn't the name Tang Yao sound familiar?"

"What do you mean, 'familiar'? What are you trying to say? Do you expect me to know everything about every Tom, Dick, and Harry?"

Shen Lun was somewhat annoyed when he heard this.

He's been very irritable these past few days.

Because he had planned everything out, but a little-known company disrupted all his plans.

Even more absurdly, he discovered that he didn't have a very good way to deal with it.

I was already anxious.

Hearing his subordinates still keeping him in suspense, he immediately transformed into a volatile man: "Just say what you want to say! Do you not want the job? I don't care who Tang Yao is! Whoever she is, just go dig her out! Are you questioning my judgment?"

Yan Yun looked at his irritable boss, swallowed hard, and forced a smile, saying, "Boss, the founder of Avalon is named Tang Yao."

Shen Lun's expression froze instantly.

The office was eerily quiet.

He suddenly remembered. Yan Yun did seem to have told him that the owner of Avalon was named Tang Yao.

A full ten seconds passed.

Shen Lun slowly spoke, "Say it again?"

"Tang Yao is the owner of Avalon..." Yan Yun's voice trailed off, "and according to reliable sources... she is the one who hosted the live stream. That's what the headhunter said."

At this moment, Li Shuicheng and he have reconciled.

Several days have passed.

The headhunters realized they couldn't contact Li Shuicheng, and with their employer Shen Lun pressing them for an answer, they had no choice but to reluctantly pass on the last piece of information he gave them to Yan Yun.

Hear this.

Shen Lun suddenly stood up, the chair scraping against the floor with a screeching sound.

His face changed from red to green, then from green to white, and finally settled on an eerie, iron-blue color.

then.

He suddenly grabbed the documents on the table and slammed them at Yan Yun: "Reliable? You told me last time that the real core of Avalon is actually their boss, Tang Yao. She practically created FGO from scratch. From the very beginning of the game demo, she was the only planner in the entire project team, and she also served as the lead artist. In short, apart from the technical aspects, she was involved in every aspect of the game. She even drew the comics all by herself!"

And now you're telling me? Even her mother's livestream host is Tang Yao? Are you going to tell me next that their company's cleaning staff is also Tang Yao?
Use your pig brain! I already said she wants to be admired and supported by her employees, to project a strong personal charisma! And you still believe that nonsense?! You're also the head of the Jiuxiao Online Games Interactive Entertainment Division! Then give me a live stream and see! Go and post an announcement right now! Say that you're debuting tonight!

Go right now! Even if you're going to be a stripper, you have to dance for at least four hours!

Shen Lun's roar exploded in the office.

Yan Yun's face turned green.

No.

Debut?

What does it have to do with me?

Let's not even talk about whether he can do a live stream. Even if he could, who would watch a bald old man like him?

He quickly explained, "Actually, I also think this news is absurd, but the headhunters are so confident and keep giving similar information. I guess they've either been bribed or they're just slacking off!"

The more he talks.

The more he thought about it, the more sense it made.

They gradually became more confident and assertive.

"Then immediately terminate all cooperation with Mingde Headhunting and find another headhunting firm! Do I have to teach you this? I pay them a seven-figure service fee every year, not to have them tell me jokes!"

Everything was already going wrong.

Even headhunters are starting to fool themselves now.

This made Shen Lun's expression twist: "The boss himself is becoming a live streamer? Do you think I'm a three-year-old? You're telling me something like this?! If you want to live stream dancing, just say so!"

Just then, the office door was pushed open.

Shen Lun's secretary walked in and just happened to hear the words, "Take it off! Take it off now."

His face turned green.

She stared wide-eyed at the two middle-aged male executives in front of her.

until.

Shen Lun's gaze suddenly swept over.

She suddenly snapped out of her daze, suppressing her shock, and said softly, "Mr. Shen... you asked me to keep an eye on the activities of that company called Avalon. They've made some new moves recently. One of their games has been released on overseas app stores, and they've started running ads."

"What!?"

Shen Lun suddenly stood up.

then.

He suddenly burst into laughter, the sound echoing through the office.

Yan Yun and his secretary looked at him with complete bewilderment.

Why is the boss laughing so loudly?

"Going to sea? With Avalon? Just as expected! That Tang Yao has been praised all along, and after being praised for so long, she doesn't even know who she is anymore!"

At this moment, Shen Lun stopped laughing, his voice laced with sarcasm and excitement: "They dare to challenge us! We, Jiuxiao, will suffer a crushing defeat! Do they think this is child's play? They're utterly overestimating themselves! They want to go to sea? Fine, then let them know what a stormy sea is like! When they're battered and bruised overseas, let's see how Tang Yao explains herself to the shareholders in the face of huge losses!"
And this is our opportunity! They'll definitely lose money in overseas markets! Yan Yun! Go! Expedite the launch of "Starry Sky Poems" and the other two games!

At the same time, we will immediately accelerate the mobile game adaptation of our famous PC game IPs!

At the same time, notify the finance department to prepare special funds so that when Avalon suffers heavy losses overseas, they can use that money to shove another shareholder's money away! I want Avalon!!!

……

at the same time.

In Avalon's testing department, Li Shuicheng was intently staring at the Hearthstone test interface on the screen, a long-lost, genuine smile on his face.

He couldn't help but exclaim, "...This game is quite fun."
