Chapter 445: Overtime Playing Games (5K)

Zeng Wenjie was already a hot topic, and with the addition of nearly 100 million yuan in financing, he became the youngest billionaire.

At the age of 19, he is worth over 100 million. I wonder if this can become the dream of 900 million girls?

Taking advantage of this popularity, Penguin launched an advertisement, and lucky players were selected through a lottery to participate in the public test of "Hero Kill". "Hero Kill" can be downloaded in the Penguin game hall. The opening hours are 20:00-22:00 every day, and the public test lasts for one week.

The content of the advertisement is also very eye-catching: the youngest billionaire has devoted his heart and soul to creating a new card game that takes you on a journey through vast history and experience 5,000 years of cultural heritage.

Zeng Wenjie had just returned to Fengyuan and was about to go to work at the entrepreneurship base when he was arrested by the principal of the university who came out.

"Wenjie, my good disciple, come here! Come here!" The principal of the university waved at him repeatedly with a smile, holding a teacup.

"Teacher Gao." Zeng Wenjie immediately stepped forward and called out in a very friendly manner.

The principal patted his arm and asked, "Are you busy?"

Zeng Wenjie said, "There are still some. The public test will start today, and everyone needs to work overtime until 10 pm."

The principal said, "Busy... I said I'd take you to have tea with Lao Mo."

Zeng Wenjie couldn't help but shudder and said, "No matter how busy you are, you still have to drink tea!"

The principal was startled for a moment, then he looked at him and laughed, saying, "Hehehe...you are indeed my good disciple. Let's go to Lao Mo's place and pretend...well, have some tea!"

Zeng Wenjie laughed and said, "Hehehe, go away!"

The master and the disciple got in the car and drove straight to Zhongda.

When the five-star general saw that it was an Audi A8, he lifted the barrier without hesitation to let it pass and saluted.

Zeng Wenjie drove to the major office building and stopped, then got out of the car with the president of the university.

The principal held a teacup in his left hand and a toad-shaped tea pet in his right hand. He won it from the bet he made with Principal Mo last time, and he would bring it with him every time he strolled to Zhongda.

Principal Gao led Zeng Wenjie to the principal's office of Zhongda University, where Principal Mo was drinking tea.

"Hey, Lao Mo, are you having tea? I arrived at the perfect time!" said the principal with a smile.

"You are born in the year of the dog, and you walk with your nose close to the ground." Principal Mo said with a displeased smile.

Then, he saw Zeng Wenjie, his expression changed, he stood up and said, "Wenjie is here too!"

Zeng Wenjie bowed and said, "I have long heard of Principal Mo's great name. Today, I specially asked Teacher Gao to bring me here to visit him and listen to his teachings."

Principal Mo couldn't help but sigh and said, "What can I teach you?"

The principal said, "Oh, you also know that he has raised nearly 100 million yuan in financing and has now entered the ranks of billionaires?"

Principal Mo's expression froze. Damn it, that damn Lao Gao, he'd feel itchy all over if he didn't show off for three days, right? He actually brought Zeng Wenjie to show off. How abominable!

"Teacher Gao, don't tell everyone about this. We should keep a low profile..." Zeng Wenjie said immediately.

"You kid, you have the right to say all the good things!" the principal said with a smile.

Principal Mo took a sip of tea silently and said, "Wenjie, please sit down. Since you are here, let's talk about something."

Zeng Wenjie said, "Principal Mo, please speak."

Principal Mo said, "Well... you've achieved a lot, but we at CUHK haven't had any successful entrepreneurs yet. So, if you have time, I'll arrange a lecture for you to give, so our CUHK students can learn from you."

The principal of the university was delighted to hear this and said proudly, "I don't know who said that those who applied to our Fengyuan would not be able to get into the University of Science and Technology of China? Tsk tsk tsk, Xiao Zeng, it's a good thing you didn't get into the University of Science and Technology of China, otherwise you might not be able to achieve such results there."

Principal Mo's mouth was twitching, and he didn't want to pay any attention to this old pretentious guy.

“Hehe…”

Principal Gao looked at Principal Mo's depressed expression and couldn't help but laugh smugly.

Zeng Wenjie smiled at Principal Mo and said, "If I come to give a lecture, will people be dissatisfied with me? After all, I'm only a freshman, and I'm from the Feng College. In terms of age and academic qualifications, I have no advantages."

Principal Mo said, "Who dares to disobey you? Even students from top universities can't stand up to you."

Zeng Wenjie said, "Well, Principal Mo, you have invited me so graciously. If I refuse, I would be ungrateful."

Principal Mo smiled and said, "I'll have someone report back when the time comes, and I'll also ask my friends at the Writers Association to write a few more articles."

After sitting for a while and drinking two cups of tea, Zeng Wenjie left. There was a lot of work to do, and everyone had to work overtime until ten o'clock today.

Principal Mo looked at Zeng Wenjie's back with some envy and said, "Old Gao, you are so lucky! Such an outstanding young man is actually enrolled in your Feng Academy!"

The principal of the high school laughed and said, "This kid is very smart, but I don't know why his college entrance examination score is so average. It's just enough to meet the score line of our Feng Academy."

Principal Mo sighed, "Such a smart kid, why didn't he do well on the test? What a shame!"

The principal said expressionlessly, "Zhuang Aimin's grades weren't good back then either."

Principal Mo smiled bitterly. Fengyuan had previously produced Zhuang Aimin, and now there is Zeng Wenjie.

On the other hand, there were no outstanding achievements from the University of Science and Technology, which made him feel very pressured. The University of Science and Technology was the highest institution of learning in the entire Chongshan area, but it was overshadowed by the Fengyuan next door, which was really embarrassing.

As soon as Zeng Wenjie got downstairs, he met Xue Xiangyao.

This long-legged girl looks very pleasing to the eye in Marlennia's new Starlink black stockings.

"Zeng Wenjie, you you you you you...how come you are here in Zhongda University?" Xue Xiangyao couldn't help but exclaimed excitedly after seeing him.

"I brought Principal Gao here to chat with Principal Mo." Zeng Wenjie said.

Xue Xiangyao grabbed him and said, "It's only been a while since we last met, and your net worth has already exceeded 100 million?"

Zeng Wenjie nodded and said, "Yes, we got 86 million in Series A funding. Including Marennia, I'm almost over 100 million."

Xue Xiangyao couldn't help but grab him and shook him repeatedly, saying, "Too powerful, too strong! How can ordinary people like us survive?!"

Zeng Wenjie glanced at the white Mercedes-Benz G-Class, rolled his eyes, and said, "Hey, you call people who drive Mercedes-Benz G-Class ordinary people?"

Xue Xiangyao released him, then sighed and said, "That's too much, really too much. You're just a freshman! And you're already worth over 100 million! It's unreal."

Zeng Wenjie smiled and said, "Okay, I have something else to do. Let's have dinner together some other day to celebrate my net worth exceeding 100 million."

Xue Xiangyao looked at Zeng Wenjie and felt it was a bit magical for a moment. It was hard to believe that a friend of his, who was the same age as him, had become a nationally known billionaire.

Zhu Feiming walked out of the office building at this time. When he saw Zeng Wenjie, he was startled and said, "Why are you here at Zhongda University?"

Zeng Wenjie pointed at Xue Xiangyao and said, "I came here specifically to look for Xiangyao."

Xue Xiangyao rolled his eyes and said, "You are such a liar, you lie so easily!"

Zeng Wenjie immediately laughed and said, "I'm telling the truth, okay? You're so beautiful, why can't I just come to see you?"

Xue Xiangyao sneered, "I'll talk to Mu Qingyang!"

Zeng Wenjie said, "I just want to see how our brand products look on you, and then consider what needs to be improved."

Zhu Feiming sighed to Zeng Wenjie, "You're quite good at making jokes! But I have to congratulate you. You've achieved a net worth of over 100 million yuan at such a young age, before you're even 20. That's truly remarkable."

Zeng Wenjie bowed and said with a smile, "Thank you, senior."

Zhu Feiming encouraged him: "Keep going, strive to become bigger and stronger, and leave us far behind."

Before, he still wanted to compete with Zeng Wenjie, but now, let alone compete, he doesn’t even have the idea of ​​competing.

With 100 million in hand, such wealth is really out of reach.

Zeng Wenjie said: "Okay, I will definitely continue to work hard."

After saying hello, Zeng Wenjie got into the car and left.

Zhu Feiming sighed and said to Xue Xiangyao, "I always feel that this fellow student from Fengyuan is getting further and further away from us!"

Xue Xiangyao was startled, frowned, and asked, "Is there?"

Zhu Feiming smacked his lips, then shook his head and said, "Your father has a business partnership with him. You may not feel it, but people like us who come from ordinary backgrounds have this feeling! However, as he gets higher and higher in his career, you will also feel this way..."

Xue Xiangyao twisted his handsome brows into a knot, and after thinking about it, he felt that what Zhu Feiming said made some sense, but was he getting further and further away from Zeng Wenjie?

That kind of thing makes people feel a little uncomfortable!

"President, you must work hard. After graduation, work hard to start a business and strive to become a billionaire." Xue Xiangyao said with a smile, "Don't bring shame to our great reputation."

Zhu Feiming smiled wryly, "When I was a freshman, I was very ambitious, thinking about having my own group company. When I was a sophomore, I thought starting a regular company would be fine. When I was a junior, I wanted to be a senior executive at a good company. Now... I just hope I don't starve to death on the streets."

Xue Xiangyao's mouth twitched when he heard this. He didn't expect that Zhu Feiming's requirements would be lowered so much year by year.

Zeng Wenjie went straight back to Fengyuan's entrepreneurial base. There were many reporters squatting at the door.

As soon as he got out of the car, he was blocked by traffic. Reporters rushed up to him and stuffed microphones directly into his mouth.

Zeng Wenjie politely pushed the microphones away and said with a smile, "There will be a press conference in a few days. Can you all come and ask questions then? Today, please let me go for now. Each of you can ask one question. Ask more questions about the game "Hero Killer". I will tell you everything I know."

"Hero Killer" triggered online public opinion and verbal attacks after the broadcast of its brainwashing advertisements. In addition, the game reviewer Jiang Yong took bribes from the Game Science Studio, and after being invited to the studio to try out the game, he felt that it was really good, so he wrote an article praising it highly.

His polar reversal happened so quickly. Before, he was the one who scolded the most; now, he is also the one who praises the most.

Netizens all agreed that Jiang Yong must have taken someone's dirty money, otherwise he wouldn't have written such an article, so they began to criticize him.

Jiang Yong, who makes a living from traffic, doesn't care about these insults. The more they insult him, the more excited he becomes. He bluntly said that after the game is launched, he will angrily slap the ugly faces of the trolls.

The reporters mainly asked about financing and issues related to "Hero Killer", all of which were answered by Zeng Wenjie.

After dealing with the reporters, Zeng Wenjie finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "See you at the press conference. I'll be announcing Snack Panic's strategic plan for this year. Feel free to ask any questions you have at the press conference."

Logically speaking, a company of Snack Panic's size is not worthy of so much attention from the media.

But Zeng Wenjie is such a hot topic and has such a high traffic volume that any article written about him is bound to get a lot of hits! So, whenever he makes a move, reporters will seize the opportunity to quickly create news.

The key is that Zeng Wenjie also understands traffic. Some of the things he says and does are very hot topics and can even become memes.

After the reporters left, Zeng Wenjie stepped into the office of Malenia.

Marennia has expanded its enrollment and now has twenty staff members, most of whom are fresh graduates from the Wind Academy, and a few are from major universities.

"The boss is here!"

Seeing Zeng Wenjie walk in, everyone stood up and looked at him.

Zeng Wenjie waved his hand and said, "I know you want to congratulate me."

"Boss, while we want to congratulate you, we also want to ask, when will our Marennia also be upgraded?"

They were anxious because Snacks was able to obtain nearly 100 million yuan in financing, and Zeng Wenjie also allocated shares to several veterans, and even Feng Xiao received 3%.

Marennia is obviously more high-end and valuable than Xiaoshihenhuang. If they can also get financing, their treatment will definitely be improved.

After all, Zeng Wenjie is a well-known conscientious entrepreneur who never treats his employees harshly. No one has ever been forced to work overtime on holidays, and they can get two to three times the salary for overtime.

Feng Xiao looked up at Zeng Wenjie and said, "Yes, billionaire, when will Marennia announce its financing?"

Zeng Wenjie shook his head and smiled, "I don't have any plans for this year. Luxury brands need time to mature. Besides, we haven't opened any offline stores in first-tier cities yet, so investors can't see our strength. Even if we announce funding, we won't get much money in one round. We'll wait until we open more offline stores in first-tier cities and our online sales increase a bit. Once we publish a financial report, we can start raising funds."

Feng Xiao felt that what Zeng Wenjie said made sense. Although Marennia had firmly established its foothold in Golden Crown with the sponsorship of "The Voice of China" and the Forbidden City series, and its online sales were also rising steadily, it had not proved that it had the ability to survive in major first-tier cities.

They have to open branches like a snack food dealer in a hurry and crush their competitors to give investors confidence.

Moreover, Marennia’s financing will definitely not be like that of Snacks Are Panic, which only received more than 80 million. After all, it is a light luxury brand, and its main business is gold trading. A financing amount of less than 200 million is considered small.

Although everyone was slightly disappointed, they were also full of expectations for the future because of these words.

Zeng Wenjie said, "I'm going to give everyone a benefit today. Working overtime playing games will also be counted as overtime pay."

When Feng Xiao heard this, he couldn't help but laugh. Is there such a good thing?

"Everyone, stay here from 8 to 10 pm and play Hero Killer," Zeng Wenjie said with a smile.

Most of the people present were young people, and after hearing this, they cheered with joy.

Working overtime to play games, and still getting overtime pay, where in the world can you find such a conscientious company and boss!

Feng Xiao nodded and said, "The cards are pretty fun to play. I wonder what the online experience is like."

Zeng Wenjie said, "I'm sure you'll be satisfied. If you're not, just come and chop me up."

"I'm not your brother." Feng Xiaole said.

"Come and chop me if you're a brother" has become a popular meme. Those competitors who previously mocked Penguin for its spam ads were completely dumbfounded. Damn, advertising can be done this way, and the effect can be so good! It's a classic case of bad money driving out good money. It's almost magical and unbelievable.

After chatting with Feng Xiao for a few words and looking at the data, Zeng Wenjie went upstairs and came to the Game Science Studio.

"Mr. Zeng, congratulations, you are now a billionaire!" Zheng Shouyun immediately congratulated Zeng Wenjie as soon as he saw him.

Yuan Xiuqin also stood up and said, "Boss, you've made a fortune, you have to treat us to a meal!"

Chen Qiao followed suit and said, "Boss, if you give me half, I won't think it's too little."

Only Feng Ji was concentrating on his work and did not follow others in flattering Zeng Wenjie.

He was under a lot of pressure, so Zeng Wenjie assigned him more work.

"Hero Killer" is mainly based on player competition, but in the later stage it will launch a level-breaking mode and a hero upgrade mode, which requires the construction of a world view and story background. These modes are a major channel for the game to earn recharges.

We support the tycoon players to quickly become stronger by spending money, and we also support the common players to develop slowly and work hard.

"Of course I have to treat you all to a meal. We're having a big dinner at the Fumanlou Hotel outside today. You can all come over to have dinner together after get off work, and then come back to work overtime." Zeng Wenjie announced.

When Zeng Mi heard the noise in Room 207, she knew that Zeng Wenjie had arrived, so she left her post and walked to the door.

"Congratulations! You've taken another step towards the National Top Ten Outstanding Young People Award." Zeng Mi said with a smile. She was wearing a classical long dress, showing off her temperament as a classical beauty.

The slender legs are wrapped in thin flesh-colored stockings, which perfectly modify the leg shape while covering up some minor flaws.

When everyone heard her say this, they realized that their boss was one of the top ten outstanding young people in the province, and this year he was competing for the top ten in the country.

Zeng Wenjie smiled and said, "I hope I'll be lucky enough to be selected this year."

Zeng Mi smiled and said, "Of course I can!"

Yuan Xiuqin also said confidently: "Boss, you can definitely do it. Besides, you have such a good relationship with the government. Now that you have achieved such success, how could they not support you even more!"

Zeng Wenjie sat down in front of the computer and said, "Work first, then go out for dinner after work, and then come back to work overtime."

A large-scale public test will be carried out tonight, and he needs to cooperate with Zheng Shouyun to communicate with the relevant departments of Penguin.
