Due to issues with the betrothal gift, Qiao Xing's two-year relationship with her boyfriend collapsed overnight. Feeling disheartened, her elderly neighbor insisted his grandson go on a blind d...
Chapter 419 Nobody knows how to do it.
"What does it have to do with anything? You just signed a shareholding agreement, meaning you're bound to suffer losses along with the company."
Qiao Xing felt embarrassed; he had almost forgotten about this.
"However, this can't go on forever. It's like we're still working for someone else, and all the money is going to the middleman."
Shen Boyan nodded, "Yes, once I've recovered a bit, I'll go out and do business. Things will get better."
"Okay, so what should I do now?"
Shen Boyan said, "Take a look at the game on the fifth page first, make a detailed plan, and then make the game. Do you know how to build the framework?"
Qiao Xing opened his mouth, "Wow, he wrote the game design and made the game himself. He's doing the work of so many people all by himself." "I think so. I can give it a try."
Shen Boyan added, "There's no rush. We made this ourselves, so we can take our time."
"Okay." Qiao Xing put away the documents. "Is there anything else?"
"That's all. There are computers outside, you can choose one you like. Also, there's an empty room upstairs, you can sleep up there if you don't want to go back."
"Uh-huh."
Qiao Xing got up and went out. As soon as she opened the door, she saw Tao Yang running towards her seat, clearly having been eavesdropping.
She looked around and saw that there were only two computers left, one next to Tao Yang and the other next to Sun Miao.
Qiao Xing decisively chose the computer next to Sun Miao. Sun Miao was focused on his computer, almost in a trance, and had no time to pay attention to Qiao Xing.
Qiao Xing didn't dare to disturb her. He put his things down beside her, turned on the computer, and found it to be very clean and a new computer, but it had all the necessary software.
She opened the document and studied Shen Boyan's plan carefully. It only had a general outline and no specific gameplay details.
It turns out to be a simulation management game. This type of game has always had a market, but making money from it is not easy; it depends on the game designer's ability.
Qiao Xing opened a webpage and searched for and studied all the popular games of this type.
Now that Shen Boyan had explained the company's current situation, Qiao Xing had no more concerns. She wasn't afraid of his honesty, but rather of him concealing the truth. If she found out later, she would feel deceived.
A short while later, Tao Yang suddenly said, "Are you guys eating? I'm ordering takeout. What do you want to eat?"
Sun Miao finally looked up from the computer and glanced at Tao Yang. "I want to eat tangyuan (sweet rice balls)."
"Okay, what about you, Qiao Xing?"
"Huh? Isn't there a kitchen? Why not cook? It would save money."
Tao Yang chuckled sheepishly, "Nobody knows how to do it. Do you know how?"
"I will do it."
Tao Yang looked at her with the eyes of someone looking at a goddess again, then jogged over to Qiao Xing's side, took out a card from his pocket and handed it to her, "Then I'll leave the cooking to you from now on. This is our food allowance."
Before Qiao Xing could speak, Tao Yang had already returned to his seat. "But let's order takeout for today and cook tomorrow. Qiao Xing and Boyan, what are you two eating?"
Shen Boyan: "Same as you."
"Then I'll do the same as you."
"Alright, then I'll order a seafood rice bowl. You two love it too, right? We have a new member joining us today, so I'll think about buying something else to celebrate."
He quickly clicked on the outside, then opened a TV series on the computer's split screen, and the quiet room was suddenly filled with the sound of a television.
Shen Boyan said, "Didn't we finish watching this play yesterday?"
"Oh, I think so. Then I'll choose something else."
Tao Yang picked and chose a historical drama about political intrigue. Qiao Xing glanced curiously at Shen Boyan, who was sitting in a position where he couldn't see the TV at all. How could he know the plot?
Before Qiao Xing could figure it out, Sun Miao next to her spoke up again, "This show has been shown three times already, let's switch to another one."
Sun Miao and Tao Yang were sitting face to face, so she couldn't see them at all, right?
It seems this company is not quite what I imagined.
They don't communicate much, they rarely chat casually, and they only talk when they are working.
When lunchtime arrived, the group sat around the table, and Tao Yang brought drinks and poured a glass for each of them.
"Our team has gained another member today, so we must celebrate. We still have work to do this afternoon, so let's skip the drinking."
Tao Yang smiled at Qiao Xing again, "Qiao Xing, would you like to introduce yourself?"
Qiao Xing chuckled dryly, holding his cup, "Don't you all already know?"
Thinking that Sun Miao didn't know yet, she gave a brief introduction: "My name is Qiao Xing, I'm 26 years old, so I should be two years older than all of you. I'm very happy to join this team, and I look forward to your guidance in the future."
"Alright, let's eat." Shen Boyan picked up his drink, gesturing for everyone to clink glasses. After finishing his drink, he began wolfing down his rice.
Tao Yang asked, "Qiao Xing, will you cook from now on? I'm so tired of takeout."
Qiao Xing nodded, "I can do it, but only for lunch. I have to go home to cook dinner."
"Lunchtime is pretty good too. You can make more at lunchtime and freeze it in the refrigerator."
"Alright."
Tao Yang beamed with joy and said to Shen Boyan, "Boyan, look, I told you I had good taste! I found a treasure just by picking it up randomly."
Shen Boyan gave him a stupid look, but still said to Qiao Xing, "Then I'll have to trouble you from now on. If you need more money, ask Sun Miao."
"It's no trouble, I need to eat too."
Sun Miao said, "The rent is due next week."
"So fast?" Tao Yang said in surprise. "It feels like I just submitted it last month."
Sun Miao: "Did you pay three months ago? We still have over 20,000 yuan left in our account. Boyan, isn't your payment period almost up too?"
"Hmm." Shen Boyan buried his head in his rice, remaining remarkably calm despite the impending payment deadline.
"More than 20,000? The rent alone is 15,000! No way, I have to go out to collect the money this afternoon!"
Shen Boyan said, "Don't waste time. Use that time to finish what you're doing and focus on your own project."
Tao Yang sighed, "Alright, Miao Miao, is there still time for your drawings?"
Sun Miao said weakly, "I'll try my best. I can finish the venue drawings if I stay up one more night tonight."
"You should take care of yourself. You haven't slept for two nights. You should take care of yourself."
"Don't worry, I won't die." As she spoke, she scooped up a spoonful of glutinous rice balls and put them in her mouth. Qiao Xing felt like she could fall asleep while eating.
No wonder she didn't speak; she hadn't slept for two days and two nights.
Qiao Xing asked tentatively, "Haven't you tried to attract investment?"
"Who should we ask for investment?" Tao Yang said helplessly. "They don't even look at us. Besides, Boyan went to them before. Do you know how outrageous their requirements were?"
"They invested 500,000 to produce something of 5 million quality, and they only gave them two months. Even a god couldn't do that."
