Chapter 47
"Why! Boss!" Ruan Xiqian shouted excitedly, "You obviously have a lot of ideas about the setting of the dungeon level!"
"Don't you want to materialize those imaginations in your heart and turn them into reality?"
Tan Li said coldly, "No."
"Then, then..." Ruan Xiqian tried to work harder, "Didn't you say you had some character ideas before? Does this still count?"
Tan Li said ruthlessly, "It doesn't count, I changed my mind." It was a bolt from the blue
.
"Why?" Ruan Xiqian was puzzled.
In the first few days after this project was decided, Tan Li seemed to have many ideas. Ruan Xiqian suspected that Tan Li herself liked to play this type of horror game, so she gave such a large amount of investment.
But after a few days, a woman's heart is like the rain in June, changing at any time.
Tan Li met her incomprehensible gaze, "Rich women are fickle, you have to learn to get used to it."
She didn't explain anything.
In fact, at the beginning, when she heard Ruan Xiqian's idea of the game, she immediately put herself into it.
It wasn't intentional, it was just...
some memories were simply evoked, and she couldn't help it.
That's why she offered the investment conditions of either total destruction or total survival.
It seemed that this way, the big hole in her heart that was filled with cold wind could be filled.
She even thought about letting those people enter this game world.
With Letong's current dress-up game as a trial example, Tan Li felt that she could still trust the modeling restoration degree of this game company.
Then, the solution that they didn't find back then might be found here, and they might have a completely different ending.
Everyone is alive.
Everyone can walk out of the infinite flow world.
Everyone still has a chance to realize the dream they talked about back then.
Everyone...
Tan Li suddenly woke up from her dream.
Everything in the dream was so beautiful, and there was even a smile on the corner of her mouth.
But no matter how beautiful the dream is, it is just a dream that will be shattered when you wake up.
There is no if in this world.
And what she is facing is just a game.
No matter how realistic it is, it is just a game.
And...
Obviously everyone has been freed, she can't let everyone be imprisoned in that nightmare that seems to never end just for her own sustenance.
That would be too selfish.
Her friends, her "family", her unique and irreplaceable teammates, do not need to become a shadow and be trapped in her nightmare again.
Besides, even if they are a shadow, they should live happily and easily.
There are only flowers and warm sunshine, no more bloody suffering.
Just like Le Tong in the dress-up game, according to her own dream back then, she changes into beautiful clothes every day without repeating.
Tan Li's heart is still in the memories, but her face is calm and composed.
She said to Ruan Xiqian, "This is the game you want to make, not me."
"I am the big boss of the investor, and I am only responsible for paying money." Tan Li said disdainfully, "I am not responsible for working for employees."
Ruan Xiqian: ...
reasonable and well-founded, and cannot be refuted.
"Alas..." Ruan Xiqian was full of regret, "What a pity, the last few times I talked with you, the boss, I thought we could make a great horror game together."
Facing her lingering regret, Tan Li just said calmly, "What I hate most in this world is unlimited flow and horror games."
"So, don't expect me to make this game with you."
Ruan Xiqian: ???
How can you still have such ideas if you hate it? How can you still give such a large investment if you hate it?
"... I bow down to the rich woman's pattern." Ruan Xiqian couldn't help but bow to Tan Li.
Tan Li: ... That's not the case.
Tan Li couldn't help but laugh because of Ruan Xiqian's unreliable action.
"Okay, just work hard," Tan Li said firmly, "This is your game, this is the world you want to create. I just hope that you can give your character a glimmer of hope."
Don't be like that perverted main god system.
Tan Li left casually, leaving Ruan Xiqian thinking.
**
Due to this investment, most of the numbers on Tan Li's account were crossed out in an instant.
Huh -
Tan Li sat on the recliner at home and subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't know why, but the money in her account seemed to be getting more and more recently, as if she could never spend it all.
It was really distressing.
At this moment, Tan Xinman ran upstairs and downstairs with hurried footsteps. When Tan Li thought she was about to rush out of the room, Tan Xinman's footsteps suddenly slowed down.
She seemed to hesitate for a moment, turned around, and walked gently towards the garden.
"What do you want to talk to me about?" Tan Li didn't even turn her head.
Tan Xinman had deliberately slowed down her footsteps, but when she saw Tan Li noticed her arrival, she immediately returned to normal.
"It's okay, I heard that you have been lying down these few days, and I thought you were not feeling well, so I came to see you." Since being told by Tan Li last time, Tan Xinman no longer evades her eyes when she speaks.
Tan Li answered irrelevantly, "Are you busy?"
"Ah? Ah..." Tan Xinman's reaction speed was not bad, "A little."
"The company has been following up on several major projects recently. I just came back to get some information because I left it at home."
Tan Li saw a hint of cyan under her eyes, "Are you so busy?"
Tan Xinman smiled calmly, "Not bad."
"Didn't you say that if you feel sorry for me, you should work hard and I will let you get more dividends."
...
A question mark slowly appeared in Tan Li's mind.
Tan Xinman didn't notice it, and continued, "Don't worry, in addition to the dozen or so projects I am currently working on, there are also some potential projects that are already under development."
"Tan Li," Tan Xinman said solemnly, "As long as I am here, you will never be short of money."
Tan Li: ...
She felt that Tan Xinman's words did not seem to mean that she would make money for her for the rest of her life, but more like a dangerous statement that she would die of overwork at her workstation.
"Don't work so hard." Tan Li thought she was a particularly conscientious capitalist, "I have enough money now."
"No!" Tan Xinman's eyes were firm, "I heard that your grandparents bought you some cars. If I didn't make enough money, they wouldn't have bought you a car."
Her expression revealed a kind of regret that she had not done enough.
After saying that, Tan Xinman glanced at the file bag in her hand and took a deep breath, "I will work hard!"
Then, she trotted away, so fast that she didn't even see Tan Li's hand trying to stop her.
Tan Li: ... You don't have to work so hard.
No, she asked Tan Xinman to be herself, and the answer Tan Xinman came up with was to be a workaholic who didn't care about her life?
She said that the money from the dividends recently seemed to be getting more and more, more and more, and she was really working too hard!
Tan Li felt a sense of nervousness, as if someone was chasing her to spend money.
…
It was fine for her to spend money as she pleased with her retirement goal, but now she had to be chased by Tan Xinman to spend money?
No way!
Without thinking, Tan Li took out her cell phone -
"Beep, beep, beep -"
"Go ahead."
Tan Li would not be affected by the indifference on the other end of the phone, "When will Ying Xu come back?"
"..." Ying Heng's silence was like a question mark, "When did you start to care about Xiao Xu?"
"Don't you always dislike Xiao Xu's silly look?"
Tan Li now thinks it's good to have a little fool, "Let him come back soon, Tan Xinman is crazy."
"Oh?" Ying Heng showed a little interest, "Are you sure you're not crazy, so you think everyone else is crazy?"
Tan Li: "...You're relying on the fact that I can't get to you on the phone, right?"
"Hehe." There seemed to be an unconcealable joy in Ying Heng's chuckle, "What are you talking about, you're such a kind person, why would you hit me."
Tan Li: She is now very sure that Ying Heng needs to be taught a lesson.
Although they were separated by a phone call, Ying Heng seemed to see Tan Li's speechless expression, and the voice coming out of the microphone was much lighter, "Seriously, what happened to Tan Xinman?"
Tan Li: ... She has always been serious, and it was Ying Heng who was joking.
"She is like a workaholic now, and she is crazy to give me more dividends," although Tan Li had some complaints in her heart, but she was such a generous person, naturally she would not argue with a young man like Ying Heng.
"Isn't that a good thing?" Ying Heng was puzzled, "She works hard for you to earn money, what else are you dissatisfied with."
Tan Li: "She earns too much."
"Huh?" Ying Heng didn't understand.
"...Forget it, you won't understand." Tan Li gave up trying to explain it to Ying Heng and just said, "Anyway, just get Ying Xu back as soon as possible."
"With so many people messing around, Tan Xinman shouldn't be so focused on making money."
Ying Heng's originally brisk tone suddenly became very stiff, "I don't understand, but Xiao Xu is accompanying Fu Yunyun out for treatment, and he won't be back for a month or two."
Tan Li was dissatisfied with this answer, "Is it because your Ying family didn't give enough money, so the treatment is so slow? I'll sponsor you!"
Ying Heng now got the hint, "Do you have too much money and don't know how to spend it?"
Tan Li: "..."
Her silence was the best evidence for Ying Heng's guess.
A faint low laugh came from the receiver, which was a bit irritating across the radio waves.
Tan Li turned her ear to listen to the phone, "What are you laughing at?"
"Hahahahahahahahaha." It would have been better if she hadn't said this. After she said it, Ying Heng's laughter was simply unbridled.
On the other end, Tan Li had a blank expression on her face. She wanted to see how long Ying Heng could laugh.
"Haha..." Ying Heng probably finally realized that he was too disrespectful to Tan Li, and finally stopped laughing a little, but not completely, "Pfft... How about I find you a few projects to invest in?"
Tan Li thought it was boring, "If the investment is successful, will there be a lot of money coming back?"
"I'm not interested in making money, I just want to spend money, the kind that will never come back after it's gone and used up."
"Do you understand?"
Although Ying Heng didn't understand, it didn't stop him from making suggestions, "How about I find a few auctions for you to play with?"
"Or buy some high-end jewelry, cars, yachts, airplanes, etc.?"
His ideas were all good, but...
Tan Li: "Aren't there any new ideas? Besides, these don't cost too much money."
"Maybe..." Ying Heng stopped talking halfway.
Tan Li couldn't help but ask curiously, "Maybe what?"
"Nothing." The voice on the other end of the phone was very calm, making it impossible to detect the speaker's inner fluctuations. "I can't think of it."
Even Ying Heng's smart little head couldn't think of it. Tan Li sighed in disappointment.
She thought that as a real daughter of a wealthy family, this retirement goal should be the easiest to achieve. Unexpectedly...
spending money is really a technical job.
If possible, she really wants to beat up the person who proposed this retirement goal.
Tan Li said to Ying Heng, "Anyway, let Ying Xu come back soon and let him distract Tan Xinman."
Since she couldn't think of a way to spend the money, Tan Li had to save the country in a roundabout way. If she could stop Tan Xinman from making more money for her from the source, she wouldn't have to worry so much.
Just like before, as long as she bought clothes and jewelry and gave people red envelopes, she could achieve her retirement goal of spending money as she pleased. How easy it would be.
"I know." Ying Heng agreed, "but don't hold out too much hope. Not to mention that there is a recovery period for treatment, even if there isn't, Fu Yunyun will definitely find a way to keep Xiaoxu for a while to brainwash him."
Tan Li: "...I know."
If she had known this, she would not have let Ying Heng keep it a secret.
A few days later, Ying Xu hadn't returned yet, and Tan Li received an unexpected letter first.
