Seeing the two standing together in the photo, he understood what Hongmei meant. The girlish coquettishness she unconsciously displayed in front of Zhang Shouyi proved everything.

But I was unwilling to accept it. Even though I knew it was futile, I couldn't help it. I kept asking myself, why wasn't it me?

So now I'm using work to numb myself. The most important thing is that this is a project that Hongmei is working on, so I'm practically working with her.

She didn't feel inferior at all; in fact, she was secretly pleased because Hongmei had chosen her to run the project together with her.

I will definitely do my best. When Hongmei returns, I will be able to stand proudly in front of her.

The next morning, Zhang Hongmei still finished her Tai Chi practice and went to pick up Annie.

The two read to the baby together, and this prenatal education session lasted for an hour. Hearing the doorbell, Zhang Hongmei knew it must be Wyattroy coming over.

Sure enough, it really was him, along with Carlos McCann.

"Dad, are you coming over for dinner? Hello, Uncle Wyatt!"

"My beautiful darling, how are you? It's been half a year since I last saw you, and you've become even more beautiful." Wyattroy knelt down and kissed Annie's forehead.

"No, honey, Daddy has some things to talk to your sister about. Can you go play some games instead?"

"OK."

"Miss Zhang, we agreed yesterday that the three of us would talk together. Would you like to meet in your study or at my home?"

"Please come in, both of you."

The four of them went upstairs together. Zhang Hongmei helped Annie turn on the computer. Then the three of them stood behind her, watching the little girl skillfully play the game.

After watching for about ten minutes, the three of them moved to a round table by the window and sat down.

"Wyatt Roy, this is a gift I gave to Annie, it's a little game. There's also a block-building game, like building blocks. Annie can play it later, go and see."

"Next, I'll speak. I'm interested in the computer game project, but Ms. Zhang rejected me. Her reason was that she wanted to talk to you first. Only if she doesn't agree to the conditions you offer will she consider someone else."

Miss Zhang, our McCann family is more powerful than the Roy family, and I am now the head of the McCann family, while Wyatt is not.

"Think it over carefully. I'm going to go keep my daughter company. You two can talk slowly." After saying that, he stood up and sat down next to Annie.

Zhang Hongmei thought to herself, "The room is only so big, there's no difference between sitting here and there."

"Zhang Hongmei, I am truly honored. So, what are your thoughts on this project?"

"Let me hear your opinion first."

"I think we could start a game company. We'd need to register it, apply for patents, and then each computer that wants to install it could pay us. Of course, these two games are far from enough."

“I agree with your idea, so we’ll continue our cooperation? The Snake game is out of the question, it’s a gift for Annie.”

"Zhang Hongmei, I have an idea. How about we set up a game company together without involving the family? The three of us can run it together?"

Zhang Hongmei fell into deep thought. Actually, this was the best outcome. Neither of them wanted to offend anyone.

"How about this, you two collaborate, and I'll buy you the game programming. How about that?"

"Carlos, come here for a moment."

The three of them sat down. Carlos had actually heard the conversation between the two men, but he hadn't offered any opinions. Now that the three of them were sitting together again, he had the right to speak.

"I agree with Wyatt's opinion, but I disagree with what Miss Zhang said. We're both worried that you might collaborate with someone else. In that case, the three of us working together would complement each other and also provide checks and balances. What do you think, Miss Zhang?"

Zhang Hongmei looked at the two of them speechlessly. "Since that's the case, then the three of us can work together. But I will only be responsible for the game's development, and we also need to recruit talent. Once this game is released, many people will imitate it, so I think we should develop a series of games first, and then select a few to release together."

I don't understand anything else. Since we've agreed to cooperate, I'll just state my opinion. As for copyright and management, I won't be involved at all.

Both of them nodded in agreement. Frankly, they were just worried Zhang Hongmei would partner with someone else, so they dragged her along. This was such a small company; they didn't really need to manage it together.

The three of them agreed on the terms, and then the original versions of the two games were given to Wyattroy.

"Ms. Zhang, please study this as soon as possible. The company will be officially established after the holiday. It would be even better if you could develop a few more products during this period."

Zhang Hongmei nodded, "I'll try my best, but I'm not familiar with the games here, and what about the talent pool? I can't do it all by myself."

"Can't your three companions do the job?"

Zhang Hongmei shook her head, "They won't do it, but I can guarantee that if they design a game, they will sell it to us and will definitely not choose another company."

Game design is actually quite complex. I want to make a card game, but first I need to understand how to play cards and the rules.

Therefore, since we're going to start a company, we need to recruit talent.

“I agree with Ms. Zhang’s point of view. I will take care of this part. Copyright, company registration and such will be left to Wyatt.”

We've agreed to cooperate, but who will be the decision-maker?

Zhang Hongmei leaned back, clearly rejecting the offer.

"I'll do it. I have more free time than you right now. The three of us can just meet up once a week."

Both nodded, agreeing that it would be fine as long as someone was in charge; neither wanted to take on any responsibility and both wanted to avoid trouble.

"So how much is our share capital?" Zhang Hongmei felt she should ask to find out.

“Twenty thousand each, I’ll find an accountant this afternoon. Once the accountant officially starts working, our three shares will be in place,” Wyattroy said after thinking for a moment.

"Twenty thousand isn't enough, is it? We'll need to set up a studio, and we'll need to prepare several computers, right?"

"How about 30,000 each?" Wyattroy said, glancing at Zhang Hongmei.

Zhang Hongmei shrugged. "I have no problem with 30,000. Just let me know in advance when you need it."

Carlos McKen nodded, and the three of them reached a consensus. All that was left was for Wyattroy to be ready.

"Zhang Hongmei, it's been a pleasure working with you again. Would you like to treat me to lunch today?"

"Okay, you two chat, I'll go down and let them know."

Anne, what would you like to eat for lunch?

"Sister, whatever you think tastes good is fine. I'm not picky about food."

"Okay, I'll go make the arrangements."

When Wang Xinyi saw the two of them arrive together, she guessed that they would have to be provided with meals, so she instructed Shen Yunfang to buy extra groceries for lunch.
