So, Zhang Yiming sniffed and returned to 1901.
"Mr. Lin, your method really worked. I'm much calmer now."
"Ahem, it's good that it works, it's good that it works. It's just in time to eat, and I don't have to call you anymore."
Anrou reheated the chicken that Lin's mother had stewed, and then stir-fried some green vegetables, making it a simple meal.
Zhang Yiming ate two bowls of rice, complaining as he ate.
"Mr. Lin, you don't know, I came to Shanghai on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, but all the restaurants I usually go to near where I live are still closed. I've been eating instant noodles for two days now."
Lin Chen was stunned. This shouldn't be the case. Shanghai isn't some remote area; many shops probably won't close during the Chinese New Year.
"Really, Mr. Zhang? What kind of stores are you going to?"
"Just the kind of food we usually eat: Fujian cuisine, Northwest specialty noodles, and chicken broth rice."
"Huh? How come I haven't eaten at any of them?"
An Rou quietly explained, "Shaxian snacks, Lanzhou ramen, and braised chicken rice."
Lin Chen: ...
Indeed, the owners of these small shops probably don't open this early, since they also need to go back to their hometowns for the Chinese New Year.
"Mr. Zhang, with your wealth, you should be able to open a shop in some slightly more expensive places, right?"
"Oh, Mr. Lin, where would I get the money? You've taken all my money, a million! A whole million! It's heartbreaking to hear and tearful to see."
Lin Chen exclaimed, "Good heavens! So this is what they were waiting for! He's eating the chicken his mom cooked, and he still dares to say I'm docking his pay?"
Silently taking out his small notebook, Lin Chen wrote the first line in front of Zhang Yiming.
"Zhang Yiming, eating the chicken stewed by the boss's mother and still complaining about the boss, he's simply not human! Deduct 500,000 from his year-end bonus!"
When Zhang Yiming saw this, he exclaimed, "My God, this is too much! Five hundred thousand! No amount of money can withstand such a stingy treatment!"
He quickly reached out to cover Lin Chen's pen.
Lin Chen had anticipated this, and dodged it in a flash, then wrote another line.
"Zhang Yiming attacked the boss, his year-end bonus will be deducted by 100,000 yuan."
This time, Zhang Yiming really cried. Waaah, it was so hard. He ate a meal and his 600,000 yuan year-end bonus was gone.
Lin Chen patted Zhang Yiming on the shoulder.
"Mr. Zhang, don't be discouraged. As long as the Douyin project is done well, are you worried about not being able to earn back the 600,000 yuan by the end of the year?"
Zhang Yiming's eyes lit up, and he excitedly slammed his hand on the table.
"President Lin, I will definitely work hard to make Douyin as popular as Weibo."
The words sounded nice, but the slap accidentally knocked the bowl to the ground.
*Splat*
Lin Chen wrote another line.
"Zhang Yiming, you damaged the boss's bowls, so your year-end bonus will be deducted by 100,000 yuan."
Zhang Yiming was dumbfounded. Wait, what kind of bowl is this? Is it made of gold? It costs 100,000!
He was about to angrily curse Lin Chen, but then he suddenly realized that his curse might be worth 100,000 or even more, so he decided to let it go and keep quiet.
"By the way, Mr. Lin, Tencent's 'Honor of Kings' has released a major update announcement for version 2.0, saying that the game's graphics have been fully upgraded and it will be officially launched the day after tomorrow."
Upon hearing this news, Lin Chen raised an eyebrow, thought for a moment, and asked, "Has Brother Dawei come to the company yet?"
I arrived at the company this morning.
"Okay, I'll go talk to Brother Dawei tomorrow, hehe."
Hearing Lin Chen's "hehe," Zhang Yiming felt a pang of sympathy for his TX, but then he remembered that it was TX, so there was nothing to feel sorry for, and he immediately felt fine.
The next day, Lin Chen went straight to the game department after arriving at the company.
"Brother Dawei, Happy New Year!"
"Boss, you look even more handsome in the new year!"
"Haha, I love people like you who speak the truth. By the way, did you hear about the upcoming update for 'Honor of Kings'?"
"I know now, I have a feeling..."
Dawei gave Lin Chen a look.
Lin Chen immediately understood.
"I think we both have the same feeling."
"Sigh, this is one of Tencent's old tricks. What should we do?"
"I already thought about it yesterday, hehe."
First, we will launch a series of back-to-work events in "Genshin Impact: Prequel - Demon Wars", including new heroes and skins, which can be obtained by completing tasks for free.
Then, we updated the monthly sign-in system, where you can receive some in-game items for signing in every day, a hero for every seven days, and a skin for the end of the month.
Finally, how's the development of Genshin Impact going?
"Genshin Impact has been completed and is ready to be released at any time."
"Okay, then let's use all three methods together. We'll update on the same day as 'Honor of Kings,' but we can release a 'Genshin Impact' PV first to give netizens something to look forward to."
"No problem. The Genshin Impact PV cost us a lot of our budget. The graphics and storyline are so good that they could be watched as a movie."
That evening, the first PV for Genshin Impact was simultaneously released on Weibo, Douyin, and Bilibili, and Lin Chen immediately shared it on both platforms.
The excellent storyline and animation effects caused a sensation in the anime and gaming communities.
Moreover, due to the immense popularity of "Genshin Impact: Prequel - Demon Wars", many people are already familiar with some of the characters, making the storyline of this PV even more relatable.
The scenes featuring the Seven Gods were so captivating that the screen was completely filled with comments on Bilibili.
"If you are trapped in a windless place, I will play the song of the heavens for you!"
"I am your past, I am the unchanging law, I am the eternal guardian!"
"In this world, demons and gods rise up together. Although I have no intention of vying for power, I know the suffering of the common people."
...
The line that directly crashed Bilibili's servers came from the very last line of the entire PV.
"There will always be creatures on earth that dare to face the might of thunder!"
...
"Holy crap, guys, this is hype! I was so excited I immediately slapped my dog!"
Dog: I may not be human, but you are a real dog.
"The Seven Gods are so cool, is this what Genshin Impact is all about?"
"Holy crap, I'd believe you if you told me this was a movie trailer, but you're saying it's a game PV?"
"I feel like this game's backstory is miles ahead of most games."
"Lin Gou, release all the PVs now, or I'll uninstall Genshin Impact Prequel: Demon Wars and show them to you!"
"Upstairs, Genshin Impact: The Prequel - Gods and Demons War has also released a game announcement, saying they'll be giving away heroes and skins soon. Are you sure you want to uninstall it?"
"Oh, I see. We'll talk about it later."
"There will always be creatures on earth who dare to face the might of thunder! Hmm, why does this sentence seem to have a deeper meaning?"
