Don't get married if you're reborn.

Chapter 379 Zeng Wenjie, who only wants to get something for free (4K)

Zeng Wenjie, Lin Zhenshan, and others played cards in room 626 all night. They only went back to their dorm to rest after lights out.

He was a little annoyed; this was purely an act of kindness...

There were six people playing cards, with each person taking turns betting five yuan and a maximum bet of ten yuan per round. However, after playing Golden Flower all night, they lost a whopping five hundred yuan!
This made Yang Huan extremely proud, and he taunted Zeng Wenjie with his face close to his.

There was nothing he could do; his luck was just bad. In the end, Yang Huan got bolder and dared to pay out several rounds of money to beat him, which really showed he wasn't treating him like a human being.

Lin Zhenshan cursed, "I never expected you to be such a bad card player. I'm not taking you to play cards at 626 anymore."

Zeng Wenjie laughed and said, "Sorry, I'll come back with a big act when I have the chance, and you'll slap Yang Huan in the face hard."

Lin Zhenshan felt a chill run down his spine and said, "Forget it!"

Wang Bo asked, "Wenjie, when will the semi-finals of 'The Voice of China' be recorded? Are you confident you'll advance?"

Zeng Wenjie said, "Recording will start after the Lantern Festival. As for advancing to the next round... it's pretty much a done deal!"

Wang Bo said, "As expected of a man I, Wang Bo, approve of, he has confidence."

Xu Chuan asked, "What are you going to sing in the semi-finals? The semi-finals should be an intra-team competition, right? Your group is all about serious singing, so they probably won't be doing rap with you."

Zeng Wenjie smiled and said, "I'll follow my mentor's instructions!"

He suddenly remembered a way to get Lao Xie to be the spokesperson for his snack shop for free.

Perfect timing! I'll take advantage of the semi-final recording to talk to Lao Xie and see if it's feasible.

Although Lao Xie is currently focused on developing his career in the film and television industry, he would definitely still be very interested in high-quality songs!
Copy two songs and throw them at him, then let him be your free brand ambassador for two years. Wouldn't that be great?
So he made this decision in his heart, and went back to find someone who understood music. He would hum the tune, the other person would compose the music and write the lyrics, and then he would communicate with Lao Xie during the semi-final recording stage.

The next day, Zeng Wenjie went to the studio to check on the progress of the "Hero Kill" project.

Director Zheng Shouyun was the first to arrive, and he had been coding for quite some time by the time the first employee arrived.

"President Zeng is here." Zheng Shouyun greeted Zeng Wenjie with a smile as he walked over.

“Mr. Zheng, you are the project director, there’s no need for you to personally take charge,” Zeng Wenjie said.

"It's okay, I can't wait for the game to be released. After all, the industry generally doesn't have high hopes for our 'Hero Kill,' saying it's destined to flop, and I'm really looking forward to it!" Zheng Shouyun rubbed his hands together, eager to get started.

Zeng Wenjie could understand Zheng Shouyun's thoughts. He was sent by Tony Ma to Fengyuan to supervise the project. To outsiders, it was probably assumed that he had done something wrong and displeased the big boss, which was why he was demoted to the frontier.

In reality, it was because Tony Ma valued the game "Hero Kill" very much and didn't want anything to go wrong, so he arranged for trusted confidants to oversee it, which made him feel at ease.

After all, Fengyuan is just a second-tier university. If they do a bad job on the project, Tencent will also lose face.

Tony Ma was even ridiculed by several major internet companies, who said he was out of his mind for going to Chongshan to develop a project and even having a second-tier university make games for him.

Zeng Wenjie smiled, then turned to Yuan Xiuqin and asked, "Senior, has the coordination with the toy factory been completed?"

Yuan Xiuqin nodded and said, "Don't worry, boss. Everything has been arranged. Once we send the design drawings over, they can start production immediately."

Zeng Wenjie was immediately satisfied. Just talking about it was meaningless. He should first get the physical cards out and mail two sets to Tencent headquarters so that Pony Ma could organize the game department staff to play a few rounds of the board game. Soon they would be able to experience the charm of the game.

Once all the online procedures are completed and launched, Tencent will be more determined to put in greater effort to promote it.

The early release of "Hero Kill" has effectively cut off the future of "Three Kingdoms Kill". Zeng Wenjie thinks it's a good thing, to prevent those idiot planners from disgusting people and harming the vast number of players.

"Very good, keep up the good work. If you have any questions, you can contact General Manager Zheng directly," Zeng Wenjie said with a smile.

"Mmm," Yuan Xiuqin replied, then went back to her work.

Zheng Shouyun personally took charge, which spurred the employees in the studio to work even harder.

Zeng Wenjie thought to himself that Tony Ma truly lived up to his reputation as an evil capitalist, sending someone like this. The game's development timeline would likely be shortened considerably due to such formidable work efficiency.

The original plan was to complete it in about six months, but the crucial "core gameplay design" step was skipped entirely because of the reborn cheat.

It's ready-made, so you don't have to spend time, effort, or brainpower figuring it out. The framework and details have all been finalized.

Moreover, Tencent provides technical support, so you can just ask Zheng Shouyun for resources directly. You can even package up the testing and send it to Tencent to do, and they can provide feedback. It's very convenient.

"boss."

Feng Xiao appeared at the entrance of 207 and waved to Zeng Wenjie.

Zeng Wenjie immediately went up to her and led her to the lounge in room 201 to talk.

"How is the situation?" Zeng Wenjie asked.

"I have three yuan left." Feng Xiao took out three one-yuan bills from his pocket and said casually.

"..." Zeng Wenjie was speechless for a moment, and he wanted to teach her a lesson. Was this what she was asking about?

Feng Xiao smiled and put the money back in her pocket, saying, "I could tell she was wavering. She subtly probed about the information I provided. And last night at the teahouse, she treated me to Romanée-Conti."

Zeng Wenjie, being a country bumpkin, had never tasted expensive red wine, let alone savored it, so he simply omitted Feng Xiao's final boast.

"So that means the opportunity is coming soon?" Zeng Wenjie asked.

“I think you can take action now. Because once you release that information that will be enough to ruin Luo Hui, things will move forward faster than you can imagine!” Feng Xiao nodded.

Zeng Wenjie naturally trusted Feng Xiao's judgment; she was quite knowledgeable about these matters.

"Moreover, Zeng Mi's defection at this time still gives her leverage in negotiations. If the situation were already settled, she would likely face several more years in prison. I think that since you've made her take the blame for such a huge burden, you should at least try to secure something for her," Feng Xiao said quietly.

“Hmm…I’ll visit him and have a talk with him when my senior brother isn’t so busy,” Zeng Wenjie said.

Feng Xiao laughed and said, "Zeng Mi is actually just a pitiful, insignificant person who is controlled and used by others. Even if she is sentenced to five or eight years, there is still a lot of room for manipulation."

Zeng Mi and Ye Yixuan are the same age, both thirty. How many more years can they afford to waste behind bars?

However, as long as Zeng Mi is willing to cooperate and spend money, Zeng Wenjie feels that he can still help her obtain many favorable conditions.

Feng Xiao looked at Zeng Wenjie and asked, "You're not really planning to take advantage of him and then just leave him be, are you?"

Zeng Wenjie said, "That's right, I'm a heartless money-making machine!"

Then, he joked, "What, you've developed feelings for Zeng Mi?" "She's older than me, but I actually feel like she's my little sister. She's quite naive in many ways when it comes to thinking," Feng Xiao said with emotion.

"Of course, if you don't take the college entrance exam, you're like a caged bird. Plus, with someone like that protecting you, how can you possibly encounter any setbacks to improve?" Zeng Wenjie said dismissively.

Feng Xiao squinted at Zeng Wenjie and said, "Then let me ask you, where did you, this college student, get your maturity from? Could it be that you really came from another time?"

“Actually, I am Qin Shi Huang.” Zeng Wenjie whispered in Feng Xiao’s ear.

"I believe you!" Feng Xiao chuckled. "I never imagined that not only would I, Feng Xiao, have enjoyed all the riches and honors of my life, but after falling on hard times, I would actually be able to ride the emperor!"

Zeng Wenjie was also amused by her. It was quite fun to be with Mrs. Feng. Sometimes the things that women say are very interesting.

After the teasing ended, Feng Xiao said, "I have something serious to tell you."

Zeng Wenjie asked, "What?"

Feng Xiao said, "There have been many counterfeit versions of our Marlenia high heels and stockings, which has affected our online sales to some extent."

Zeng Wenjie couldn't help but raise an eyebrow and said, "It's inevitable. After all, our designs are novel and hit women's hearts right away. Besides, these things don't have any technological barriers, so it's easy for others to pirate them."

Feng Xiao said, "Wang He is very anxious and hopes that we, as a large international brand company, can take action to crack down on piracy."

Zeng Wenjie sneered after hearing this. If it were a real international brand company, they would definitely give it a good beating! The key is... we're not. We're just a company that built itself up by bragging. Without the sponsorship of "The Voice of China," we wouldn't have any recognition at all.

"I'll talk to my senior brother about this after he's finished with his recent business. Bringing it up now would seem a bit presumptuous," Zeng Wenjie sighed helplessly.

Feng Xiao nodded. Marlenia's positioning in the affordable luxury market is quite good. At least, people with good financial means can afford it and won't have to buy counterfeit products.

After chatting with Feng Xiao for a while, she went back to 208 to continue working.

Zeng Wenjie waited for the person that Director Wang of the Computer Science Department helped him find.

She is a music teacher, a woman in her thirties, named Li Yunyun.

With the help of well-connected school leaders, recruiting talent is not a problem at all for Zeng Wenjie. Even if Fengyuan can't find a suitable candidate, he can get Professor Gao to go to Chongqing University to look for one.

"Teacher Li, can you compose music from the tunes I hum?" Zeng Wenjie asked Li Yunyun very politely.

"Isn't this the most basic thing?" Li Yunyun smiled and said.

Zeng Wenjie coughed and said, "Well, as you know, I'm a contestant on 'The Voice of China,' and the semi-finals are coming up soon. Could you compose a couple of pieces for me?"

Li Yunyun was taken aback and said, "You?"

Zeng Wenjie nodded.

Li Yunyun was somewhat reluctant because she is rather traditional and doesn't really like rap music.

Moreover, judging from Zeng Wenjie's words, it seemed he had put some thought into the song himself? She was a little afraid that this guy would offend her ears.

"One thousand yuan per song." Seeing Li Yunyun's hesitant attitude, Zeng Wenjie directly used his financial power to pave the way.

“Helping students is what we, as teachers, should do!” Li Yunyun immediately agreed.

So Zeng Wenjie invited her to the lounge to compose music. He hummed along, while Li Yunyun wrote it down on paper.

After the piece ended, Li Yunyun looked at the sheet music and was a little stunned. This level... seems a bit high?
She suspected that the other person had copied it from somewhere, but after thinking through all the songs she had ever heard, she couldn't recall finding one like it.

"Teacher Li, could you please help me fill in some more words?" Zeng Wenjie pleaded.

"You..." Li Yunyun was speechless. She thought this guy was a complete novice. How did he even pass the blind auditions for "The Voice of China"?!
She recalled the rumors circulating online about behind-the-scenes manipulation, and began to suspect that Zeng Wenjie, as the program's planner, had orchestrated the manipulation.

“Listen to me sing… This is troublesome!” Zeng Wenjie said.

“Okay, okay, you sing, I’ll write the lyrics,” Li Yunyun nodded.

Zeng Wenjie cleared his throat and began to sing slowly: "You are all brave, the wound on your forehead, your differences, the mistakes you made..."

Then, he paused and waited for Li Yunyun to write.

“This singing…” Li Yunyun was at a loss for words and quickly wrote it down.

After Zeng Wenjie finished singing the song, Li Yunyun also finished writing the lyrics. To be honest, she felt that her singing was really bad, and she really wanted to advise Zeng Wenjie to go back to singing rap instead.

She picked up the sheet music and couldn't help but hum along. The lyrics moved and touched her deeply.

So she couldn't help but ask, "Did you write this song yourself?"

Zeng Wenjie said: "Yes!"

Li Yunyun opened her mouth, instinctively wanting to question him, but considering that Zeng Wenjie had accomplished so much at such a young age, he could be called a genius!
Since he's a genius, then... that seems quite reasonable, right?
Li Yunyun asked, "Is there another one?"

"Mmm... Listen to me, hah!" Zeng Wenjie started whining like a dog again.

Upon hearing the melody, Li Yunyun felt a chill run down her spine. Was this the inspiration of a genius?!
After finishing the melody, it was time to write the lyrics...

"The sounds of prosperity have vanished into the monastery, leaving the world heartbroken; dreams are cold, and a lifetime of wandering leaves behind countless debts of love..."

Zeng Wenjie sang out the lyrics, only to find that Li Yunyun hadn't written anything down and was staring at him blankly.

Zeng Wenjie couldn't help but ask curiously, "What's wrong, Teacher Li?"

Li Yunyun took a deep breath and said, "Fang Wenshan lent you his brain?"

Zeng Wenjie felt the shame and embarrassment that a plagiarist should feel at that moment, but fortunately he had a thick skin.

"Is there a problem with the lyrics?"

“No problem, I just think this style is very Vincent Fang! And the lyrics are so good, your talent seems a bit terrifying.” Li Yunyun couldn’t help but lick her lips and said.

Zeng Wenjie said, "Hey, isn't it all thanks to the excellent cultural heritage of Fengyuan that I had such inspiration? Teacher Li, please write the lyrics, and I'll continue singing."

By the time Zeng Wenjie finished singing intermittently, Li Yunyun had also finished writing the lyrics.

Then, Li Yunyun asked, "What are the names of the two songs?"
