While her sister was still immersed in the fantasy of the birthday party, Gu Yuqing secretly glanced towards the kitchen and found that Gu Zongyan was also secretly looking at this side.
Obviously, without Gu Zongyan's support, Gu Chengxi would not be able to invite Jiang Xinhai, after all, she is just a child.
This is how it is among wealthy families - if your family invites a popular young actor to show their support, my family will invite a top superstar to surpass you.
There are three steps in front of your house, so my house must be built higher, not lower than yours.
What’s even more regrettable is that Gu Yuqing didn’t receive such treatment at her coming-of-age ceremony.
After thinking this through, Gu Yuqing suddenly lost interest. Gu Chengxi didn't notice and said innocently, "Well, it's settled then. You can come too."
After she finished speaking, she blinked again and said, "Also, participants can bring a dance partner. If you want to bring one, you can start looking for one now!"
Gu Yuqing was speechless. She really wanted to complain. Where did Gu Chengxi learn this from? Did he watch too many American TV series to come up with such Western etiquette rules?
Just when she was about to ask Gu Chengxi if she had a "dance partner", Gu Zongyan called the two of them over and said it was time for dinner.
The family sat down at the table again, and Gu Yuqing began to eat in silence.
She had wanted to go abroad before, and it cannot be said that she had no intention of avoiding such family social occasions.
The amazing thing is that now that she had some idea in mind, she suddenly found that this kind of situation was not so unbearable.
"I heard that the company you invested in makes good money from small games?" Gu Zongyan suddenly asked Gu Yuqing.
Gu Yuqing looked up and said, "Yes, according to our agreement, the 11% return on investment has now been achieved. Oh, don't even mention 11%, we've already achieved 10%."
Gu Zongyan smiled coldly, as if disdainful, and said:
"I made a small fortune by making small games, but what about future development? This kind of opportunity is hard to come by for a small company. If I were you, I'd be wary of the other party running away with the money."
If they are responsible to their investors, small manufacturers will often reinvest their income to create new works, thereby becoming bigger and stronger.
But if you expand, there is a risk of losing money. For small manufacturers, it is more realistic to run away with the money.
Achieve financial freedom in one go without having to work hard anymore.
Gu Yuqing shrugged and said, "It's okay. I have a good relationship with that boss. It's better to say that he is my servant and he won't run away."
When she mentioned the word "slave", her younger brother and sister sitting at the table looked up at the same time and glanced at her secretly.
I always feel that Gu Yuqing’s queenly aura is a bit... scary.
Gu Zongyan was a little unhappy with his daughter's choice of words, but he didn't say anything in the end. He said, "I just hope you don't get too close to her. Remember your own responsibilities."
Wen Shujing, who was standing by, saw that the conversation was about to take a turn for the worse and immediately called out, "Eat, eat."
Gu Zongyan lowered his airs a little and said:
"The company you invested in might have good vision, but they've had some bad luck. Right now, both Zhu and Hubei are treating open-world games as their flagship projects. If a smaller company tries that, they're likely to fail miserably."
He said, "It was a miserable death," but he still had a smile on his face. There's nothing more gratifying than seeing a competitor in trouble. He's a pure joker.
Gu Yuqing continued to eat with her head down. Seeing that Gu Yuqing didn't respond, Gu Zongyan said again:
"If you ask me, Xiao Cai was the smartest. He knew to join the Pearl Factory. In the mobile game industry these days, if you want to make a small profit in a niche category, you can, but if you want to break into a major category, you have to rely on the attitudes of the two companies above you. If you don't join one side, you'll probably be sniped to death."
Gu Yuqing suddenly understood.
Gu Zongyan said this to her, and he didn't mean it as a mockery, but rather out of kindness.
He was reminding her indirectly that she had to find a backer as soon as possible.
"I'm full." Gu Yuqing pushed the plate away and stood up.
Gu Zongyan looked up at her, thinking she understood: "Gone?"
"Yeah." Gu Yuqing nodded and put on her shoulder bag.
But she did not do as Gu Zongyan thought, to help Chen Ya "find a backer".
"Remember your coming-of-age ceremony, dance partner!" Gu Chengxi reminded from behind.
Gu Yuqing nodded and then walked towards the door.
…
Lu Keke was running wildly on the road.
I worked until the crack of dawn last night and finally finished the soundcheck for everyone.
By the time she lay down, it was already four o'clock in the morning.
This directly led to her sleeping until noon the next day.
Traffic in Beijing is particularly unbearable during peak hours, and the roads are jammed. Fortunately, Beichen Company is not far from Beijing University, so Lu Keke at least still has his legs.
But when she ran to her destination, her head was dizzy from the sun, and her chest and back were covered with fine beads of sweat. Even the panties under her skirt became extremely uncomfortable in the dampness.
The imperfect blonde girl was too embarrassed to show herself to others, so she lowered her head, quickly crossed the office area, rushed into Chen Ya's office, slammed the door shut, and then leaned against the door, gasping for breath.
Chen Ya was in the office, deep in thought. When he saw her, he asked in surprise, "What's wrong?"
"I brought the stuff," Lu Keke panted and slammed her phone on the table, "I promise I can meet all the requirements."
"Really?" Chen Ya took out headphones from the desk and connected them to Lu Keke's phone.
Lu Keke stood there, her chest heaving, her bangs and hair disheveled, looking quite disheveled.
Chen Ya reminded: "There is drinking water over there, and the paper cups are downstairs, you can get them yourself."
