Chapter 423 has some skills
This is a perfectly normal issue, and Qiao Xing doesn't need to hide it. He should be upfront about it to avoid future disputes.
Shen Boyan said, "I forgot to tell you before, we are very casual. Even the jobs we take on, whoever takes on the job, and whoever completes it independently, it's all their own responsibility. You don't need to worry about that, because we don't use official accounts for payments right now."
Qiao Xing said, "But once this game is released through distribution channels, the subsequent payments will definitely go through official accounts."
"Well, if we don't participate in the development, after deducting taxes, you and Sun Miao can discuss how to split it."
"Currently, there are only four of us in the company, so there's no need to be so serious. If there are more people in the future, we can develop a detailed set of rules and regulations."
After Shen Boyan finished speaking, he asked, "Do you have any other questions?"
Qiao Xing shook her head repeatedly, "There aren't any for now."
Qiao Xing felt a little guilty looking at his nonchalant attitude, as if she had judged him by her own petty standards.
But considering that I'm not familiar with them and don't know how they balance their income and expenses, it doesn't seem like a bad idea to ask.
Having joined them halfway through their careers, I naturally can't be as casual as they are. Being too overly familiar and lacking a sense of propriety can be off-putting.
Qiao Xing picked up her phone and glanced at it. "Then I'll go buy groceries first. I'll come back and refine this plan in detail after lunch."
"Going grocery shopping? I'll go with you." Tao Yang pulled out a set of car keys from the table. "I'll drive you there."
That's the key to the electric scooter. It's a company, after all, yet they only have one electric scooter.
"No need, I can go by myself. Just give me the car keys, don't let me delay you."
"It's okay, I was going out anyway, let's go, it's not far. Besides, do you even know where the market is?" Tao Yang quickly packed up his laptop and put it in his backpack.
Qiao Xing thought about it and it seemed to make sense. She had never been to the local market before, so she agreed.
She followed Tao Yang downstairs. Tao Yang was very busy; he took a phone call as soon as they got downstairs, and Qiao Xing waited for him to call for more than ten minutes.
"Alright, get in." Tao Yang got on the electric scooter and invited Qiao Xing to get on.
Qiao Xing got into the car and couldn't help but ask, "Since you have an electric scooter, why are you taking the bus?"
"Electric vehicles need to be charged, and electricity is expensive. The farthest I can take by bus or subway is only 8 yuan, but an electric vehicle can't go that far on 8 yuan worth of electricity."
Qiao Xing touched his nose, feeling that what he said made a lot of sense.
After dropping her off at the market, Tao Yang handed her the car keys, saying, "Once you've bought your groceries, you can ride back yourself. I'm going to take the subway."
Qiao Xing nodded. "Okay, then be careful."
After saying that, she put her car keys in her pocket and walked into the market.
She didn't know how much money was in the card, only that the three of them together spent 3,000 yuan a month on living expenses.
If you order takeout every day, three thousand yuan probably won't be enough.
So she didn't buy any expensive vegetables, but she bought a few pounds of meat and a bunch of vegetables, and went back to cook various kinds of stir-fried meat with them.
Back at the company, she went to the kitchen and saw that it was spotless. There were only bowls and a pot, which was brand new and still had the label on it.
So she ran downstairs and bought seasonings and other things.
After all that fuss, she left home at 9:30, and it's already 11:30. She probably won't finish cooking until after midnight.
Halfway through cooking, Sun Miao came over drawn by the aroma. She squinted at the pot and asked, "What are you cooking?"
"Stir-fried pork with chili peppers".
"Oh." Sun Miao glanced at it and went to the restroom.
Unfortunately, Tao Yang wasn't coming back for lunch. After Qiao Xing finished cooking, she set aside some of the leftovers for dinner and put them in the refrigerator, then served the rest on the table.
"Dinner's ready."
After calling out twice, Shen Boyan and Sun Miao did not respond; the two were still working on their computers.
Qiao Xing raised her voice again, "You two, dinner's ready!"
Shen Boyan then realized what was happening, put down his mouse, stood up, and patted Sun Miao's table, "Let's eat."
Sun Miao took off her headphones, got up and walked towards the dining table. Her eyes, which had been almost closed, widened suddenly when she saw the dishes on the table.
"What day is it today? Why are you eating such a lavish meal?"
Shen Boyan had already picked up his chopsticks and started eating. He tasted the stir-fried pork with chili peppers and nodded approvingly, "Not bad, you've got some skills."
Qiao Xing said, "It's cheaper for us to cook for ourselves. I still have half of these vegetables in the refrigerator, and they cost less than fifty yuan in total."
Sun Miao gave an "oh," then lowered her eyelids again and picked up her chopsticks to eat.
Qiao Xing made quite a lot of dishes, including stir-fried pork with chili peppers, stir-fried pork with dried tofu, twice-cooked pork with Lao Gan Ma chili sauce, stir-fried pork with lettuce, stir-fried pork with wood ear mushrooms, and tomato and egg soup—all meat dishes.
Because it was so delicious, the three of them finished all the rice in the rice cooker.
After finishing her meal, Sun Miao couldn't stay awake any longer and went upstairs for a nap. Before going up, she reminded the two of them, "Wake me up at three o'clock."
Without waiting for their reply, she went upstairs to sleep.
Seeing how busy they were, while she seemed to have nothing to do and had to leave so early in the afternoon, Qiao Xing felt a little guilty.
She looked at Shen Boyan and said, "Shen Boyan, you can give me some of the work you're doing right now."
Shen Boyan had just lit his cigarette and was leaning back in his chair when he suddenly looked up and glanced at her.
"No need, you just do your job. We took on these odd jobs ourselves, and we won't take on any more of them once we finish this one."
Qiao Xing wanted to say something more, but Shen Boyan said again, "The most important thing is to focus on your own products. You should work on your big... what was it again?"
"...The ultimate tycoon."
"Oh, you big spender, this name is so corny, you should change it later."
Qiao Xing thought to himself, "Nothing is more tacky than Big Bad Wolf Technology Co., Ltd."
But he still said, "Okay, I can't think of anything for now, let's stick with this for the time being."
Shen Boyan said, "We can make a semi-finished product first, and then find a distributor to run it around. Maybe we can attract investment."
Do you know anyone in the publishing industry?
Shen Boyan nodded, "I know a few, but none of them are major publishers. However, I can usually get in touch with them through general channels."
"Alright." Qiao Xing decided to hold off on discussing the S&C channel for the time being. If she could contact Shen Boyan, she didn't want to bother Qin Ce.
Although Qin Ce said it could make money, who knows if he was just trying to make himself happy.
Since it's a product I made myself, I still want to verify my true capabilities. If I rely on Qin Ce, I don't know how much of the final result is genuine.
After finishing his cigarette, Shen Boyan actually stubbed it out in the bowl—his eating bowl—right there...
Qiao Xing was completely flustered; his obsessive-compulsive disorder was almost triggered by his actions, and he barely managed to keep quiet.
Shen Boyan stood up, picked up the bowls himself, and took them to the kitchen.
Thankfully, they know how to clean up.
