Chapter 841 Even More Difficult
Her innocent expression stirred a sense of helplessness in Shen Boyan's heart.
"I don't need your help, thank you."
He was in a bad mood and didn't want to play house with Sheng Yao here. If she got upset, he would have to consider her feelings and coax her.
Seeing that Shen Boyan didn't believe her, Sheng Yao said anxiously, "Shen Boyan, just trust me this once, I really can help you!"
Her persistence left Shen Boyan helpless, and he relented, saying, "Fine, tell me how you want to help me."
Sheng Yao didn't even know what Shen Boyan was doing; all she knew was that Shen Boyan had started his own company.
Based on what Tao Yang said, it can be roughly understood that he is currently short of money.
So she told Shen Boyan, "I know your company needs money right now. You can tell me. My family doesn't lack money."
"Where did you hear that from?" Shen Boyan asked, frowning.
Sheng Yao honestly replied, "I went to the company to look for you, but you weren't there. Tao Yang told me."
Shen Boyan remained silent.
Sheng Yao pressed, "Is what he said true? If your company really has problems, I can help you, and I want to help you."
Shen Boyan knew, of course, that Sheng Yao had that ability. She was a member of the Sheng family, and if she just said a few words, the Sheng family might invest money in the company.
But this is not what Shen Boyan wanted.
"Don't listen to his nonsense. This has nothing to do with you, and you can't help with it. Go back."
After Shen Boyan finished speaking, he walked past her and went straight away.
Sheng Yao chased after him, unwilling to give up, "Shen Boyan! Can't you trust me just this once? I really want to help you!"
Sheng Yao relentlessly pursued Shen Boyan, repeatedly expressing her determination.
Along the way, he attracted the attention of passersby, and Shen Boyan couldn't stand it any longer, so he stopped.
Sheng Yao thought he was going to agree and hadn't even had time to be happy when she heard Shen Boyan say, "I said we wouldn't be together, so you don't need to do these things. I appreciate your kindness."
This wasn't the first time he'd said this, and Sheng Yao was already used to it.
She ignored him outright, pretending not to hear him. "I never said I wanted to help you so that you would be with me. If you don't want to be with me, I can't force you."
Her words sounded more like she was trying to comfort herself.
Shen Boyan sighed helplessly to himself.
He really didn't know what it was about him that made her so persistent.
Sheng Yao ultimately failed to persuade Shen Boyan.
Although she really wanted to help Shen Boyan, if he didn't agree, he would end up doing more harm than good.
Her purpose in doing this was to make Shen Boyan happy; if he wasn't happy, then the whole thing would be meaningless.
However, Sheng Yao was still very saddened by Shen Boyan's repeated rejections.
Even though she was sad, she never gave up on the idea. No matter what, she had to help Shen Boyan with this matter.
When Shen Boyan returned to the company, Qiao Xing, Sun Miao, and Tian Guo were gathered together, chatting happily about something.
Tian Guo looked up and saw Shen Boyan returning.
She quickly stopped smiling, adjusted her glasses, and said, "Brother Chen, you're back."
Qiao Xing and Sun Miao also raised their heads.
Shen Boyan went out early in the morning. When Qiao Xing came to the company, he was not there. When he asked Tao Yang, Tao Yang only said that Shen Boyan was busy.
Seeing him return, Qiao Xing asked, "Tao Yang said you went out. What were you busy with?"
Shen Boyan said calmly, "I contacted the studio yesterday, and today I went to talk to the person in charge."
Qiao Xing understood. "Has an agreement been reached?"
Shen Boyan said, "It's almost done. The other party has agreed that we can find our own voice actors, but the cost may be a bit higher."
Sun Miao asked, puzzled, "Why? We hired the voice actors ourselves. Logically speaking, shouldn't they charge less?"
Tian Guo explained to her, "A dubbing studio is a complete team with its own equipment, voice actors, directors, producers, etc. It's all integrated. I guess they didn't expect that we would hire voice actors separately, ask them to do the work, but look down on them. It's normal for them to feel uncomfortable."
When Tao Yang came out of the restroom, he heard Tian Guo analyzing the situation intently.
She rarely spoke so much at once, and Tao Yang looked at her with a very curious expression. "Guozi, what you said makes a lot of sense!"
Tian Guo was taken aback, and immediately lowered her head shyly.
Sun Miao was listening attentively to Tian Guo's words when Tao Yang interrupted her, making Tian Guo too embarrassed to speak.
Qiao Xing asked worriedly, "Are their prices very high?"
I was originally thinking that if I did the voice-over myself, I could save some money.
Shen Boyan shook his head and said, "No, the dubbing company I contacted is quite experienced in Chongqing. Many games, animations, and radio dramas use them. I calculated it, and the average fee is actually a normal standard."
Qiao Xing was relieved. "Then when can we officially start recording?"
"After signing the contract tomorrow, I'll send the script over. They have a dedicated screenwriter, and it'll need some revisions, probably within the next few days."
Qiao Xing was in charge of the script and liner notes for the voice-over. Upon hearing this, she said, "Okay, I'll go back tonight and reorganize it. Once I've confirmed that everything is in order, I'll send it to your email."
Shen Boyan nodded and returned to his workstation.
Qiao Xing and Sun Miao continued their previous conversation.
Tao Yang glanced at Qiao Xing and the others without making a sound, then quietly moved closer to Shen Boyan.
"So, did you reach an agreement?"
Because Shen Boyan specifically instructed Tao Yang not to tell anyone else in the company about the investment.
If they're not mistaken, Jing Feng's side most likely means they've already given up on the project.
Under such circumstances, choosing a new investor is extremely difficult.
However, the game was already two-thirds complete, and everyone had great confidence in it.
If we tell them now that the game might have to shut down due to lack of funding, it would definitely be a blow to them.
Therefore, when talking to Shen Boyan, he deliberately avoided talking to other people.
Especially Qiao Xing.
Tao Yang could actually understand why Shen Boyan was unwilling to tell others.
Because he didn't want everyone's hard work to go to waste, and he didn't want others to know that the results of their nearly two months of hard work might be cut short.
But Sun Miao and Tian Guo are an exception, after all, they are also poor working people.
There are some things that we simply cannot do despite our best efforts.
But Qiao Xing is different from the others.
After all, she has a husband who is not only powerful but also wealthy.
If Qiao Xing just asks, not only will investing be possible, but even buying the Big Bad Wolf wouldn't be a problem.
