Chapter 136 Game
In the following days, I almost became Lin Yan's little tail, following him closely and studying.
When he held a meeting, I would listen quietly from the side, learning how he controlled the rhythm of the meeting, how he pointed out problems directly, and how he guided the discussion towards the ultimate goal.
After the meeting, he would patiently give me private lessons, explaining the complex contract terms and project plans to me in detail, and analyzing the intricacies and potential risks involved.
He even began to systematically teach me some management experience, such as how to motivate the team and how to weigh the pros and cons to make decisions.
Lin Yan is worthy of being Lin Yan. No matter how complicated the matter is, he can always find the core logic and then express it clearly in a way that I can understand.
I felt like a sponge, madly absorbing this knowledge and way of thinking that I had never been exposed to before.
In order to make it look more like the real thing, I followed his advice and gritted my teeth to buy some decent clothes.
When I put on the well-tailored dark gray suit and tied my tie in front of the mirror, Lin Yan's eyes changed instantly.
He almost pounced on me, hugged me tightly from behind, rested his chin on my neck, and said in a muffled and warm voice: "Baby..."
He strangled me so hard that I could barely breathe. I quickly warned him, "Hey! I just bought this! Don't mess around with this! This material is so precious!"
"Didn't you also not be able to hold back when I bought that suit last time?" He chuckled softly, his hands already starting to become dishonest, kneading my waist precisely through the fabric of the suit.
"Hey... that's... um..." I was a little weak at the knees, but I still held my ground. "Let's talk about it tonight... tonight..."
"Okay..." He agreed, but he had no intention of letting go. He just stepped back a little and looked me up and down with an undisguised look full of appreciation and possessiveness.
In the past few years, he has dragged me to the gym, and my body has indeed become much straighter. I am no longer as thin and skinny as before.
The suit perfectly outlines the shoulders and waistline. The face in the mirror has lost a lot of the student's immaturity and even has a hint of the so-called "elite" temperament.
Even I think that if I dress like this and walk into the company, I can probably trick a few young girls who don't know the truth into calling out "Hello, Mr. Chen".
Lin Yan looked at her, his eyes becoming complicated, a mixture of pride and worry: "Wife, look, I told you... you are becoming more and more dazzling now, and you are the focus wherever you go. What if... someone who doesn't know how to live or die tries to snatch you from me in the future?"
I was amused by his anxious look. I turned around, put my arms around his neck, and kissed him on the lips. "Alright, Mr. Lin, why are you starting over again? Isn't it all thanks to you that I'm even half the man I am today? If it weren't for you, I'd probably still be squatting in some game's Goblin Cave, farming for materials. How would I have the time to stand here with so many people?"
"You're talking about goblins again," Lin Yan also smiled, his eyes softening. "To be honest, I almost forgot you were that internet-addicted teenager when I first met you. The change... is indeed huge."
"I never thought," I said, leaning into his arms, "that I could actually put on a suit and pretend to talk business with people."
"The ones I raise are naturally the best."
Lin Yan pinched my butt as if to declare ownership, pressing me closer to him, and said with a bit of childish willfulness, "Anyway, no matter what it becomes, it's mine."
"Okay, okay, it's all yours." My heart softened and I rubbed his nose lovingly.
With the confidence he gave me, I really began to try to stand on my own.
Accompanied by the senior assistant arranged by Lin Yan, I met with several important clients one after another.
This even includes the creative team of a game I was addicted to before!
I was so nervous before my first visit that my palms were sweating, but when we actually started talking, I found that it was nothing more than clearly introducing the product advantages, discussing the cooperation model, finalizing the contract details, and at most having a meal together afterwards.
At the dinner, the vice president who was specially arranged by Lin Yan and who could drink a lot helped me to block all the toasts. I just needed to keep smiling and keep a clear head.
I have to sigh again that this man is incredibly meticulous.
However, when I heard those big guys whose names I could only see on the game loading screen sincerely praise my plug-in for its clever design and huge potential, the huge sense of accomplishment and satisfaction I felt was simply indescribable.
After discussing the cooperation and walking out of the restaurant, Lin Yan's car is usually waiting quietly on the roadside.
When I open the car door and get in, he always gives me a big hug first.
"How is it, Mr. Chen?" he asked with a smile, his eyes shining.
"What else can I do? It's just a matter of signing." I deliberately raised my chin and pretended to be calm and complacent.
"Oh, you are really proud of yourself?" Lin Yan laughed and reached out to ruffle my carefully groomed hair.
"Oh, compared to those big deals you're talking about, this is just a small thing." I dodged with a smile, but my mood was very good.
He looked at me, his eyes falling on my meticulously dressed suit and tie, his eyes gradually becoming deep, carrying a familiar, dangerous signal.
Before I could react, he suddenly leaned over and his fingers deftly unfastened my belt buckle.
……harmonious……
Finally, I was almost exhausted and fell asleep.
I vaguely felt him carefully helping me clean up, tidy up my clothes, and then start the car.
When I woke up again, I was already in my big, soft bed at home, and the culprit was contentedly hugging me and sleeping soundly.
This bastard... He must have planned this car sex thing a long time ago.
After that period of busy signing contracts and dealing with various business inquiries, the focus of my life inevitably shifted back to school.
After all, I am still a graduate student. I can't always miss courses and projects. I still have to earn credits honestly.
Lin Yan stayed in school for a while longer, which was a rare opportunity. He had a lot of things to finish during his graduate studies.
We both unexpectedly relived the feeling of being a campus couple, queuing up for food in the cafeteria together, walking in the playground with books in the evening, or simply huddling in a corner of the library to read our own books.
"Mr. Chen, what grand plans do you have next?" One day when we came out of the library, Lin Yan put his arm around my shoulders and teased me with a smile.
I sighed. "Well, of course I want to get the game out there as soon as possible. We have a little money in the company now. But when it comes time to actually start, I feel completely lost and overwhelmed."
"Where exactly is it stuck?" he asked patiently.
"Let's talk about recruiting. Where can I find suitable and reliable people? I think the really talented people must be scrambling to get into big companies, right?" I was a little frustrated.
"That's not necessarily true," Lin Yan shook his head. "Sometimes you can pay attention to those who come from big companies. Many of them leave because they are tired of assembly line work or want to pursue a more pure gaming dream. They have both ability and experience."
"Do you have a connection?" My eyes lit up.
"Who am I, your husband?"
He raised his eyebrows proudly. "I just heard a partner mention a while ago that there's a small studio whose members are mostly from those big game companies. They have strong technical skills, but they just went out on their own because of a disagreement or because they wanted to create something interesting on their own."
"They must have their own ideas. How can I convince them to help me realize my ideas?" I still felt a little uncertain.
"How will you know if you don't try?" Lin Yan looked at me encouragingly. "Of course you have to go yourself. You're the one who understands the game you want to make best. Tell them the world in your mind and the experience you want, exactly and passionately. For a truly ambitious producer, a core idea that's novel, interesting, and inspiring is more important than anything else."
I felt a little embarrassed. "But my idea... feels quite immature. The world view is only a vague framework, and the gameplay is also vague. I just think that the idea of NPC interaction can be very useful..."
"If everything is mature, why do we need teamwork?"
Lin Yan patted me on the back and said, "All you need to do is throw out the most core and attractive idea to ignite their interest. Leave the rest to professionals to enrich and perfect it."
Hearing him say that, I felt a little more relieved. "Okay! Then I'll go back and sort out my thoughts!"
