Isn't 628 chapters a bit too hasty?
She walked quickly over and sat down opposite Shen Boyan. "Have you been waiting long?"
"No, I just arrived." Shen Boyan pushed the menu in front of her. "You can order for yourself. I don't know what you like to drink."
"I don't drink unless it's something. What do you want from me?"
Shen Boyan thought for a moment and said, "We've discussed the company's affairs and are planning to move the office to a different location. It's not convenient to type in the group chat, so we'd like to meet you to talk about it."
"We can do video calls."
"..."
Shen Boyan was silent for a moment, then decided to ignore her words. "Now that the company is slowly getting back to normal, it feels a bit chaotic to continue living in that apartment, so it's better to separate work and life."
"You don't need to tell me these things; you can decide for yourselves."
“You’re a shareholder in our company, so I definitely need to tell you about these changes. There’s also something else,” he said, taking a document from the side and handing it to Qiao Xing. “Take a look.”
Qiao Xing took the document with suspicion. She thought it might be some kind of company plan or office selection document, but when she looked at it, it turned out to be a shareholding agreement.
She looked at Shen Boyan, puzzled. "What does this mean?"
"It means what you see."
"...No, I'm asking why I got such a high percentage of shares? I didn't do anything."
"Why didn't you do it? The company survived entirely because of you. If it weren't for you, we'd probably be begging for food by now. This is what you deserve."
Qiao Xing pushed the documents back, "You started this company, what's the meaning of giving me so many shares? Forty percent, how are you going to divide the rest? Do you think Tao Yang and Sun Miao will agree to this?"
“We have already discussed it, and they have agreed.”
Qiao Xing was rendered speechless by him. After much hesitation, she continued to persuade him, "Aren't you being too hasty? Let's discuss it again."
"We've already discussed it. Even if we discuss it again, the ratio will still be three to one. Just sign it."
Qiao Xing sighed and rubbed his forehead in exasperation, "So how did you divide it?"
"Divide it equally, twenty each."
Qiao Xing could actually guess that Shen Boyan didn't care who owned the company. He seemed to just want to achieve something, and money wasn't the only way to prove that achievement.
"You're putting so much pressure on me. Does that mean I'm becoming your major shareholder?"
Shen Boyan nodded slightly. "That's right."
Qiao Xing waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, I can't do it. I can't even understand my job, how could I be a boss?"
"Major shareholders don't need to do anything."
"That's even more unacceptable. How can I feel at ease holding onto it?"
"Then you can do things too."
"..." Qiao Xing was speechless for a moment. She looked helplessly at Shen Boyan and asked, "Do you really want me to sign?"
"Well, I can't just use this contract to mess with you."
Qiao Xing was still a little hesitant. With this contract in front of her, she felt the pressure instantly.
When we used to work together, she always seemed to be joking around, but now she seems to be getting more and more serious.
She then asked, "Have you found a new office yet?"
"I'm still looking. I've looked at a few places, and I'll compare them with a few more. If everything is okay, I'll prepare to move."
Will you be hiring?
"We've moved, so we'll definitely need to hire more people. We made a game last time and went to Jingfeng for investment. They gave us another game, and once their investment arrives, we'll focus on making that game."
What game?
Shen Boyan looked a little awkward, as if he found it difficult to speak, but he still stammered out, "Yi You."
"..."
Qiao Xing looked at him. This guy had never been in a relationship, yet he was into otaku games.
"Otome" is a dating sim aimed at women. This type of game has always been very popular, and Jingfeng seems to make games in this category. If they collaborate with Jingfeng, the game will be released under Jingfeng's name later, so the effect should not be bad. However, in the end, we will see how the quality is.
"You guys are pretty impressive, managing to secure investment from Jing Feng."
"We were lucky. Actually, it wasn't exactly our own product. It's just that when we went to their manager, they liked our style because it was very similar to their game. The studio that was supposed to be developing that game ran into problems, so they dumped it on us. They didn't invest much money, but their requirements were high."
"No wonder, you guys went there to wipe butts?"
"Pretty much. They've already invested the initial money and it's halfway done, so it would be a shame to give up. That's why they cut costs and gave it to us. Anyway, we weren't expecting to make much money. The main thing is to get on this track and try to find opportunities for future cooperation."
Qiao Xing nodded knowingly, "I understand now. That's why you're moving offices and hiring. Does that mean all the money we earned in the early stages will have to be invested again?"
"Yes, that's about right."
Qiao Xing sighed. As Shen Boyan said, this was indeed a rare opportunity and worth taking a chance on. That's how small companies are; they have to survive in the cracks under various difficulties, and they have to seize any opportunity that comes their way.
"Well... never mind, I'd better not say anything discouraging."
Shen Boyan understood what she was trying to say but couldn't, and he took the document back. "Your concerns are valid. How about you sign this contract after the game is released?"
He thought Qiao Xing was worried that if the game failed and lost money, she, as the major shareholder, would be burdened with debt.
Qiao Xing explained, "That's not what I meant. I just wanted to say that everything has two sides, and no matter what, I will stand with you through thick and thin."
"Besides, there seems to be a difference between a major shareholder and an individual, right? Even if they are in debt, I shouldn't have to bear the burden."
"You could say that. Since you understand everything, do you want to sign it?" Shen Boyan placed the contract on the table again, letting her make her own choice.
"I'm willing to sign, but are you really not going to reconsider? This is a company, not some cabbage where shares can be distributed casually."
"No need to think about it. These things need to be dealt with as soon as possible so that things can develop better in the future. We can't just do things casually like before."
Qiao Xing was silent for a moment, then she took the contract and said, "Okay, I'll sign it."
She herself didn't care much about how much money the company could make or how much she could get. She and Shen Boyan were about the same. What she wanted to see more was the day when the company would grow bigger.
Shen Boyan had personally come to her with this contract, so she couldn't let them down, otherwise things would really become awkward.
Shen Boyan also brought his pen with him, and he took it out of his pocket and handed it to Qiao Xing.
Qiao Xing took the pen and quickly wrote down his name.
Shen Boyan watched her put pen to paper, and his tense expression finally relaxed.
