Chapter 869 Will You Blame Me?
Sheng Yao was surprised and delighted when she received Shen Boyan's call.
However, Shen Boyan asked Sheng Yao in a slightly serious tone.
"What did you tell me last time about why your uncle was unwilling to invest?"
Sheng Yao glanced at her uncle beside her, bit her lip, and didn't know how to answer Shen Boyan's question.
What should she say?
Is it because you have a bad relationship with the Shen family that your uncle doesn't want to get involved in this matter to avoid suspicion?
Wouldn't Shen Boyan be heartbroken if that happened?
Sheng Yao found a corner and, in order not to upset Shen Boyan, tried to speak to him tactfully, "I don't know what my uncle is thinking. He keeps telling me that it's not that he doesn't want to, but that he's in a difficult position about this matter and doesn't want to offend anyone. Don't you think he's strange? If he wants to vote, he should just vote. Why is he afraid of offending others in this kind of thing? Really!"
After hearing what she said, everything became clear to Shen Boyan.
He suddenly understood that Sheng Yao's uncle didn't look down on Big Bad Wolf Company, and he also understood why Qin Ce suddenly agreed to let Qiao Xing go to work.
He wasn't being considerate of Qiao Xing at all. Instead, he was creating the image of a perfect husband who always thought of his wife in front of Qiao Xing, while secretly using this method to make Qiao Xing compromise.
He would only have a reason to send Qiao Xing back if the project actually encountered problems.
Even if Qiao Xing was unwilling, the guilt she felt at Qin Ce's actions made her have no choice but to compromise.
Shen Boyan narrowed his eyes, inwardly scoffing, feeling utterly ironic.
He didn't want to judge Qin Ce with a petty mind, but given Qin Ce's actions, he simply couldn't regard him as a gentleman.
Although Qiao Xing already knew about Jing Feng's situation, and knew that if they didn't find a new client, their project might really come to a standstill.
She maintained her previous opinion: regardless of Shen Boyan's opinions about Qin Ce, she hoped to resolve the company's current situation first.
So the next day, when Shen Boyan came to the company, Qiao Xing decided to talk to him again.
"I've already thought things through with the investors. The funds will arrive in three days at the latest, so you don't need to worry."
Shen Boyan's words surprised Qiao Xing.
"So fast? How did you do that?"
Shen Boyan hadn't actually done anything yet; he was just saying this to Qiao Xing for the time being.
He thought about it all night and has made up his mind, but he hasn't decided whether to carry it out yet.
Therefore, Shen Boyan did not tell Qiao Xing the specifics, only saying, "The other party happens to be a game company as well. Because several of their games have received only mediocre reviews after launch, they plan to try an otome game. However, the funding they can offer is not much, only about a million, so the closed beta test will have to be brought forward."
More than a million is not a small amount, but it's better than nothing.
Qiao Xing felt much relieved. "Then I'll discuss it with Tian Guo and the others and try to catch up on the progress."
"Um."
"Oh right, is the voice-over recording going to start tomorrow? If the studio confirms everything is okay, I'll let them know in advance, otherwise I'm worried the others might not have time."
The others Qiao Xing was referring to were naturally Yang Han and Han Yan.
Shen Boyan hesitated for a moment, then suddenly said to Qiao Xing, "I'm planning to change the voice actor."
Qiao Xing was stunned, looking suspicious. "Why? Didn't we already agree on that?"
Shen Boyan explained his thoughts: "Previously, it was because of insufficient budget. Now that we have found a new client, we have more funds available, so I think it would be more appropriate to use professional voice actors."
"But didn't you just say you wanted to speed up the schedule? If we change actors now, it will not only cost more money, but we also won't have enough time, right?"
"You don't need to worry about that. The studio has its own voice actors. They are a bit more expensive, but they are professionals and it won't take too long."
Since Shen Boyan had already made up his mind, Qiao Xing couldn't say anything more.
"Alright then, it's up to you to decide."
"Will you blame me?" Shen Boyan asked her.
Why would I blame you?
"You thought of using your own people for voice acting in order to save on the budget. Now that I've changed your plans, it's like all your previous hard work has been wasted."
Qiao Xing smiled with relief, "You're overthinking it. This suggestion was made by everyone together. We only used this method because we wanted to save money. Now that we can use professional actors, that's a good thing. You're doing this for the company's benefit, so why should I blame you?"
What if I said it wasn't because of that?
Qiao Xing was stunned for a moment, "What?"
Shen Boyan said, "It's nothing. Since you have no objections, then this matter is decided. Let's have a meeting in a bit and I'll explain it to everyone."
Qiao Xing nodded. "Okay."
As Qiao Xing left, she couldn't help but turn her head and glance at Shen Boyan.
She always felt that Shen Boyan seemed to be implying something in his words.
At noon, Shen Boyan held a meeting and told everyone about the change of client.
Jingfeng is still their big boss, but he won't continue to pay them, which means they've essentially bought out the game.
After the game was officially launched, they received their share, and the subsequent game copyrights remained with Big Bad Wolf Company.
The new client that Shen Boyan renegotiated only invested money and didn't care about the operation of the game.
Although this model of having two bosses in one department makes the people below very uncomfortable.
But this is the only solution right now.
When Tao Yang heard that Shen Boyan had found a new investor, he assumed it was Qin Ce, so he subconsciously glanced at Qiao Xing.
But when Tao Yang saw the way Shen Boyan looked at him, he understood that Shen Boyan still hadn't gone to find Qin Ce.
But apart from Qin Ce, Tao Yang couldn't think of a second boss willing to invest.
After finishing that, Shen Boyan brought up the matter of voice acting.
When Sun Miao heard that the voice actors would be replaced, she was a little disappointed. "Why don't you guys do it anymore? I've become a half-fan of the male lead voiced by Qiao Xing's husband."
Tao Yang gave her a disdainful look. "Can't you have some backbone? You watched them come into being and created their personas. You know better than anyone that they're just a bunch of code. Fans? Why don't you just say they're your husbands?"
Tao Yang, being a straight man, obviously couldn't understand girls' psychology.
So Sun Miao didn't hold back at all and just grabbed the documents on the table and smashed them on his head.
"Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand!"
