Wu Manni led Lin Chen and the other person to a private room in a restaurant near the TX headquarters.
Upon entering, Lin Chen was surprised to find the legendary Little Ma sitting inside.
"President Lin, welcome, welcome!"
"Wow, Brother Ma, you're my idol! I'm so happy to meet you. Can I add you as a QQ friend?"
Little Ma was taken aback for a moment, as this was the first time he had heard such a request, but he immediately took out his phone and opened QQ: "Of course, Little Ma, that's a rather novel way to address you, hehe, my QQ number is..."
After the two added each other as friends, Little Ma said with a smile, "Please sit down, please sit down."
After everyone was seated, Wu Manni personally poured tea for Xiao Ma, Lin Chen, and the others.
Little Ma took a sip of tea and said, "Mr. Lin is truly a young man of great talent. When I was your age, I didn't even have 50,000 yuan in my pocket, and now you're already a billionaire."
"Oh, not at all. In front of a big shot like you, I'm just a nobody."
"Hehe, a five-hundred-million-dollar acquisition is no small matter at TX. I was supposed to attend in person this morning, but something came up and I couldn't make it. Our General Manager Wu represented me and General Manager Lin in signing the acquisition contract."
At this moment, the dishes were served, and Brother Ma poured a glass of baijiu: "Come on, let's toast President Lin together. It's been a pleasure doing business with you."
Everyone stood up and raised their glasses. Lin Chen snatched the liquor from An Rou's hand and replaced it with the tea he had just poured.
"Brother Ma, my assistant doesn't drink, so I'll drink this one for her. It'll be a pleasure working with you."
Lin Chen drank two glasses of baijiu in one gulp.
"Great drinking capacity, hahaha, come on, have some food."
An Rou glanced at Lin Chen, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she smiled happily.
After a few rounds of drinks, Little Ma asked, "President Lin, as a pioneer in the mobile game industry, and with such successful games, do you have any experience you can share with our President Wu? I just put President Wu in charge of the mobile game market, and she seems quite lost."
Upon hearing what Little Ma said, Wu Manni quickly raised her glass and smiled at Lin Chen, saying, "That's right, Mr. Lin, I hope you won't hesitate to give me your advice. This glass is for you."
Lin Chen smiled and returned a drink. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Brother Ma, to be honest, with Tencent's user base and R&D capabilities, they could easily make a fortune by making a simple card game like Dou Dizhu. Tencent will definitely become the dominant force in the mobile game industry in the future. However, as a game enthusiast, I still hope that mobile games can explore more new technologies and gameplay, instead of relying solely on monetization and skin-changing methods to make a profit. I hope that Tencent can become the leader of the domestic mobile game market and lead domestic mobile games to the world."
"Haha, Mr. Lin, that's exactly why I said you'd succeed. That's a beautiful compliment. Come on, let's have another drink."
After finishing the meal, Lin Chen was quite drunk. After saying goodbye to Brother Ma, An Rou helped him back to the hotel.
Inside the private room, Brother Ma took a sip of tea to moisten his throat and asked Wu Manni, "Ms. Wu, did you understand what Mr. Lin just said?"
"I understand. We need to invest more in research and development of new technologies and new ways to play."
Little Ma shook his head: "Wrong, completely wrong. Just now, President Lin mentioned three keywords: Dou Dizhu (a card game), pay-to-win, and skin-changing! Your game department should go back and immediately start from these three directions to expand the mobile game market. You still don't truly understand the corporate spirit of Tencent."
Wu Manni's forehead was covered in cold sweat: "Yes, Mr. Ma, I will go back and start arranging the work immediately."
Pony Ma sighed, "Sigh, in this acquisition, 'Fruit Ninja' is only worth 100 million, while this meal is worth 400 million."
Lin Chen was already lying on the hotel bed. If he knew that Brother Ma had interpreted his words in this way, he would be spitting blood.
Lin Chen: Good, good, it has to be you, Brother Ma. No wonder you succeeded. It turns out I'm the real sinner in the domestic mobile game industry!
An Rou was panting heavily, her face covered in sweat, and she unbuttoned the top button of her shirt.
"Phew, you stinky boss, you're really heavy. But since you shielded me from the drinks today, I'll take care of you."
An Rou struggled to take off Lin Chen's suit jacket and then moved him onto the pillow. Just as she was about to get up, Lin Chen suddenly grabbed her and pulled her into his arms. An Rou's heart raced, and she was so nervous that she dared not breathe, wondering what Lin Chen was going to do. Then she heard Lin Chen's soft snoring.
An Rou breathed a sigh of relief. She had just remembered, but then she felt so comfortable lying in Lin Chen's arms.
"Let me lie down a little longer, anyway, the stinky boss is sleeping."
She rubbed her head, found a more comfortable position, and closed her eyes to enjoy it.
"This feels so good."
He fell asleep just like that. In the evening, Lin Chen woke up groggily with a headache. He tried to rub it, but felt something pressing down on his arm.
"Huh? Senior? Why did I end up sleeping while hugging you?"
Sensing the movement, An Rou also woke up, opened her eyes, and her eyes met Lin Chen's.
An Rou thought to herself, "Oh no, I've fallen asleep too." She quickly came up with a solution and said, "You stinky boss, you're finally awake! I kindly helped you back, but you're still using me as a pillow and sleeping with me like this. I can't even get up."
"Ah? This... I'm sorry, senior, I drank too much, and this wine has a strong aftereffect."
"Then why don't you get up right away?"
Seeing that he was still holding An Rou, Lin Chen quickly got up and said, "Well, I smell of alcohol all over me, I'm going to take a shower first." He then hurriedly ran into the bathroom.
An Rou sat on the bed, feeling her cheeks burning. Hearing the sound of water coming from the bathroom, she ran back to her room, even more embarrassed.
After Lin Chen finished showering, he noticed that An Rou wasn't there, so he sent her a QQ message: "Senior, what's for dinner?"
An Rou replied, "I don't know. You drank so much alcohol at noon. Why don't you have some porridge?"
"Okay, I'll come find you then, let's go out to eat together."
Lin Chen changed into clean clothes and knocked on An Rou's door. An Rou opened the door, and Lin Chen saw that she had changed into another outfit she had bought yesterday: a tight-fitting short dress with a shirt jacket. However, because of the White Rabbit candy and the angle, Lin Chen immediately felt a warm flow about to rush out of his nose.
He quickly shifted his gaze, pretending nothing was wrong, and said, "Senior, let's go."
The two found a seafood congee shop near the hotel. While eating, An Rou said, "Boss, when are we going back? I'll go get the plane tickets."
"No rush. We've made so much money, of course we need to play for a couple of days. Otherwise, what's the point of me making money? Senior, I'm giving you a task: plan our itinerary for the next few days."
"Huh? This..."
Lin Chen knew what she was worried about and said, "This is a company team building activity, and I'll cover all the expenses." As he spoke, he took out his phone and transferred 50,000 yuan to An Rou. "This is the team building budget; you'll be in charge of arranging everything."
"Yay, boss, you're awesome."
