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 862 What's making you so happy?
Qiao Xing had only been away from the company for two days, and it felt like a lifetime had passed.
Seeing everyone happy because of her appearance, Qiao Xing suddenly felt that she was becoming more and more inseparable from her group of friends and from the Big Bad Wolf Company.
Where is Boyan?
Qiao Xing looked around but didn't see Shen Boyan.
Sun Miao shook his head and said, "I don't know. He's been away from the company a lot these past few days. Even when he comes, he leaves after a short while and doesn't tell us what he's busy with."
This wasn't the first time Shen Boyan had done this; he knew his limits, so Qiao Xing didn't ask any further questions.
She turned to Tao Yang and asked, "By the way, did you discuss the final payment when you had dinner with Jingfeng's people last time? Our company doesn't have much money left in its accounts. If they keep dragging their feet on paying, should we consider changing investors?"
Tao Yang looked on in astonishment. "You knew all along?"
"What do you know?"
Qiao Xing looked completely bewildered.
Tao Yang feigned composure and said, "What I mean is, why did you suddenly ask about this? I thought you didn't know."
Although Qiao Xing is the largest shareholder of the company, Shen Boyan usually takes care of these matters.
From the moment Tao Yang met Qiao Xing, he always thought that Qiao Xing didn't understand this kind of thing. He never expected that Qiao Xing not only understood it, but understood it very clearly.
Tao Yang's words dealt a heavy blow to Qiao Xing. "I'm a shareholder of the company, after all. Although I do less work than you guys, I'm not completely indifferent to company affairs. What do you take me for?"
Qiao Xing was indeed completely clueless about the company's operations at first, but as the saying goes, "one is influenced by one's company," and after being with Qin Ce for so long, she couldn't have learned nothing.
When she talked to Qin Ce about the company's shares before, Qin Ce taught her a lot, such as the company's operation, profits, costs, and so on.
Qiao Xing already felt like she couldn't accept any reward without contributing anything. If she didn't put some effort into this kind of thing, she would really be no different from an employee who just wanted to coast along and collect a basic salary.
Tao Yang realized he had said the wrong thing and scratched his head sheepishly, "I'm sorry, I thought you weren't interested in these things and that's why you didn't know."
Qiao Xing said, "It's okay. You still haven't answered my question. What did Jing Feng's people say?"
"Uh..." Tao Yang really didn't know how to talk to Qiao Xing for a moment.
If Qiao Xing knew that Jing Feng's people had changed their minds and weren't going to invest any more money, she would definitely be anxious.
Actually, Qiao Xing was the most resourceful one, because all she had to do was talk to Qin Ce, and all the problems would be solved.
However, Shen Boyan didn't want Qiao Xing to know about this, which worried Tao Yang to death.
He really couldn't understand what Shen Boyan was being so awkward about.
Tao Yang's mind raced. He couldn't tell Qiao Xing the truth, so he had to lie. "It'll be soon, in the next few days. Don't worry, it's all as agreed before, there won't be any changes."
Tao Yang reassured Qiao Xing, but Qiao Xing still felt uncertain.
Qiao Xing had this concern when Shen Boyan took on this project.
Jingfeng gave the half-finished project to Big Bad Wolf, not for any other reason than to save money.
However, most game development is basically done by throwing money at it.
Not to mention that the code alone was basically rewritten, the subsequent models, copywriting, drawing, and various data all cost money.
All expenses exceeded the initial budget.
Jing Feng had already planned ahead, making it virtually impossible for them to pay him any more money.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have chosen to cooperate with the Big Bad Wolf.
However, these were all Qiao Xing's own ideas. After all, the quality of their work on this project was better than that of some well-known game companies on the market.
Maybe Jingfeng's people will have a change of heart and be willing to invest more money.
...
Sheng Yao wanted to talk to her uncle about the investment as soon as she got home after meeting Shen Boyan, but she found out that her uncle and aunt had gone on a business trip to a neighboring city.
The night she waited for her uncle to come back, Sheng Yao was so excited that she almost couldn't sleep.
All she could think about was that if this matter succeeded, she and Shen Boyan would be one step closer, and they might even become good friends.
And Shen Boyan had no reason to reject her anymore.
Sheng Yao had a wonderful dream all night and slept soundly.
The next day, as soon as her uncle and aunt returned, Sheng Yao ran downstairs in her slippers.
"Uncle! Aunt, you're back!"
Uncle had originally wanted to ask if the maid, Sheng Yao, had returned, but she left in a hurry yesterday, and they also made a last-minute trip to a neighboring city, so he hadn't had a chance to ask.
Seeing Sheng Yao's beaming face, her aunt smiled gently and asked, "What's wrong, Yao Yao? What's making you so happy?"
Sheng Yao smiled and looked at her uncle.
Her uncle immediately understood what she meant. "What's wrong? Is there something you want to tell me?"
Sheng Yao nodded quickly, "It's a very important matter."
"Alright, tell me, let me see how important it is."
The aunt didn't disturb them, saying, "You two chat, I'm going back to my room to change my clothes."
After her aunt left, Sheng Yao pulled her uncle to sit down on the sofa.
"Uncle, are you interested in games?"
After thinking for a moment, the uncle said, "It's alright, I'll play around with it occasionally when I'm in college."
"oh."
"I remember you weren't interested in games when you were little, why are you suddenly asking about this?"
Sheng Yao chuckled, "It's like this, Uncle. A friend of mine has a company that's developing a game, but they're having some funding problems, so I'd like to ask you for help."
My uncle asked, "You want me to invest in his game?"
"Yes, they finally got this project, but the company itself doesn't have much money, and the game's later marketing and promotion will also require money. It would be a real shame to stop it now because they don't have enough money."
Sheng Yao was talking non-stop when her uncle couldn't help but interrupt her, "Wait a minute."
"What's wrong?" Sheng Yao blinked.
"Let's put the money aside for now. Who is this friend you're talking about?"
Sheng Yao subconsciously pursed her lips.
Um……
She was too embarrassed to say it.
But her uncle had already seen through her thoughts, "Could it be Shen Boyan?"
Sheng Yao nodded shyly, "You guessed it."
She said to her uncle in a coquettish tone, "Uncle, you have many projects under your management, so you don't need one more. Besides, this project doesn't require too much investment. Please help them out, okay?"
This was indeed not a difficult matter for the uncle, but when he learned that the person Sheng Yao wanted to help was Shen Boyan, his expression changed.
