Chapter 385 The Encounter on Kirishima Island

Shen Xuewei looked at his belly peeking out from under his clothes and sighed again.

"Second Uncle, didn't I tell you to lose weight and work out properly? Why are you..."

It's only been a few months since I last saw him, and he's become so arrogant!

When I came to wish him a Happy New Year before, he wasn't this fat!

"Go away, go play computer games with your brother!"

Chen Fangyang shooed Chu Dexi, who had come over to pester him, to Chu De'an's place. He struggled to sit up on the sofa and just grinned foolishly at Shen Xuewei.

After laughing, he smiled smugly, his face now chubby.

“Hey, your second aunt said last time that even if I gain weight, she won’t divorce me.”

Of course, the next sentence is the key point.

“Your second aunt recently bought a villa and has already moved in. I thought it was a bit too far from the city center and didn't want to live there, so your second aunt transferred the house to my name…”

"Sigh, you know my personality. I just can't handle working out every day. I just want to eat, drink, and have some fun..."

He has never hidden himself from anyone; that's just his personality, and everyone knows what kind of person he is.

"Right now, I have some savings, not too much, not too little, around three million. I also own two or three houses, so even if I divorced your second aunt, I wouldn't starve. Besides, we're not divorced yet..."

Shen Xuewei knew that her second uncle was a lazybones, and now he was so lazy that he didn't even want to exercise to maintain his figure.

It only takes a few months for a mature and handsome man to transform into an overweight and obese middle-aged man.

Seeing his lazy attitude, Shen Xuewei didn't say anything more to persuade him to maintain his figure.

After all, Chen Fangyang is currently in a state of extreme laziness, so there's no point in talking to him.

That evening, Zhao Xiannan, who had stood up his girlfriend, came over and had dinner with the group. The next day, he took them out for a day of fun before going back to work.

Chen Fangyang spends most of his days lying at home, except when he goes out shopping, eating, and playing games with Shen Xuewei and the other two.

Shen Xuewei would take Chu De'an and Chu Dexi out to play during the day, and then rush to update her novel when she came back at night. She would also have long phone conversations with Lian Jinian from time to time.

They had only been dating for a few days when they went home separately.

They were deeply in love, and Lian Jinian wished he could call Shen Xuewei every day to talk to her.

Summer vacation passed quickly, and everyone returned to school. Shen Xuewei went back to Shenbei University.

After the children started school, the Chu family also began to busy themselves with building a house.

During Shen Xuewei's senior year, she had virtually no classes and extremely free time.

She took the time to look for an apartment near the school and eventually rented one in a safe, upscale neighborhood.

It's less than a 20-minute walk from the school, making it extremely convenient for anyone who needs to return to school or wants to visit Lian Jinian.

As Lian Jinian entered her junior year, her studies became even busier than in her sophomore year, but whenever she had time, she would come to see Shen Xuewei.

Meanwhile, with the injection of funds, Kirishima Interactive Entertainment began to accelerate game development.

Developing two games simultaneously with insufficient funds and manpower was a mistake from the start, but fortunately, timely adjustments were made, and it's not too late.

The development of the game "Kirishima Adventure" is nearing completion. They have sped up their work, working overtime for a month straight, and have also conducted a small-scale internal test.

Based on the feedback collected, some shortcomings were adjusted, and then the public beta test began.

Everyone was confident in the game and believed it would definitely be a hit.

However, no matter how good a game is, if no one notices it and it doesn't attract players, then it's all for nothing.

Even the best wine needs advertising; Wang Xiuqi understood this principle well.

He didn't skimp on advertising, spending money on promotions on major television media, online platforms, and offline venues like internet cafes. This is how the first batch of users were attracted by the advertisements.

As the first batch of users were drawn to the game, they became players of Kirishima Adventure.

With a good reputation, the next step is to attract more players.

In October 2012, a game called Kirishima Adventure was released, and its revenue exceeded ten million that month, becoming one of the most popular games upon its release.

The following month, the turnover tripled, reaching an astonishing 30 million.

The success of their first game has brought Kirishima Interactive, a rising star, to the public's attention and made them a household name.

Before the game was released, Shen Xuewei thought that the game had beautiful graphics and diverse gameplay, so the response should be good.

But the fact that it was this good was beyond her expectations.

She invested in Kirishima Interactive Entertainment under the name of Topworld Ventures.

After the launch of Kirishima Adventure and its enthusiastic response, she included the successful case of investing in Kirishima Interactive Entertainment in the introduction of Tuojie Venture Capital and began recruiting.

She rented an office in an office building as the office space for Topway Ventures, and then began recruiting.

Ordinary employees are easy to recruit, but high-end talent is hard to find.

The investment business position is the core of the core, directly determining the company's profitability and survival.

Shen Xuewei has recruited almost all the employees she needs, except for an investment manager with extensive experience in the investment industry.

She tried headhunting other investment companies, but she didn't like the bad ones, and the good ones didn't want her...

That day, she and Lian Jinian were taking a walk at school when a headhunter called her.

"Mr. Shen, hello. I am Xu Duanduan from Jiesu Headhunting Company. I contacted you before. I know you are currently looking for a senior investment manager, and I would like to recommend a candidate to you today."

"She has eight years of investment experience, and at her previous company, she was in charge of several projects worth tens of millions of yuan..."

Shen Xuewei whispered to Lian Jin, who was standing next to her, "I'm going to take a call. Wait for me."

She walked to the side and continued listening to the headhunter's presentation.

After the introduction, she asked:

"Based on your description, she has this high-end and extensive experience, so she shouldn't lack companies vying for her. What kind of compensation is she asking for?"

The headhunter paused for a moment, then said, "Mr. Shen, this candidate's situation is a bit special. Her experience dates back several years, and she hasn't worked in the investment industry since then, with a five- or six-year gap in her career..."

Shen Xuewei understood.

These days, she has had headhunters find a lot of people, but there are not many suitable candidates.

Although the gap in their investment horizons has been quite long, she still wants to meet them because of their extensive prior investment experience.

"Okay, ask her about her schedule for me, and we'll set a time for me to talk to her in detail."

Hopefully, this person will be the talent she needs.

After hanging up the phone, she walked towards Lian Jinian, who was waiting to the side.

"Jinian, let's go."

After walking for a while, Shen Xuewei suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, Ji Nian. There's a clothing exhibition going on recently, and a friend of mine who owns a clothing company is going to participate. One of their clients is from France. Would you like to work as a part-time translator?"
