After the competition, reports flooded the internet, and even the group photo of the champion and runner-up teams toasting together spread across the entire network.
Some people laughed heartily while watching the video, while others found themselves laughing until tears welled up in their eyes, and still others stood frozen in front of their phone screens as the short video played over and over again.
Can you choose when to start your life?
After Lin Xiaoxiao finished presenting the awards, she finally got a few days of rest. Then, Feiyang Games sent her the competition schedule for the second half of the year. Just like last time, it was a series of preliminary rounds followed by provincial and regional competitions, semi-finals, and finals.
Lin Xiaoxiao refused the high entry fee from the gaming club. Her initial idea was to extract money from the Lin Group to create a welfare competition. If the competition slots were truly locked to these well-funded gaming clubs like other events, perhaps we wouldn't see teams like the Pingshan County Team and the Lotus Pond Moonlight Team.
Games can be fun or exciting.
The gaming clubs were somewhat surprised to be rejected, given that their asking price wasn't low, comparable to other global gaming tournaments. After all, they already had inside information that *The Secret of Penglai Island* had been released overseas, and the second half of the year's competition would be a global event.
After a moment of stunned silence, the game department manager suddenly felt a surge of anticipation for the second half of the competition. An international tournament where dark horses could emerge at any time, and where ordinary people could form teams and participate on the street, was just like the adventure of a protagonist in a comic book, except that the protagonist wasn't a teenager, but an old man whose hero had already passed away.
You never know where your next opponent will come from, or how formidable they will be.
Lin Xiaoxiao never expected that after she had so badly tricked President Li of the Li Group last time, Li Chuan would still invite her to dinner. Isn't Li Yishan Li Chuan's biological older brother?!
However, when they arrived at the dinner party, Lin Xiaoxiao realized she had been overthinking things; Li Chuan immediately told her everything.
"It's so great that you could come, Mr. Lin!"
Li Chuan was deeply moved. His elder brother had spoken so ill of President Lin, yet President Lin still came to keep the appointment despite past grievances. What did that mean? It meant magnanimity! Of course, he even secretly felt that it was an affirmation of their friendship!
"Mr. Lin, please order whatever you'd like. My brother will cover the bill. Eat as much as you like!"
Lin Xiaoxiao was surprised that Li Yishan would pay the bill. Could it be that he wanted to make peace?!
"how are things?"
Upon hearing this, Li Chuan beamed with joy. Although his elder brother's actions had "implicated" him, and President Lin had stopped updating the Dark Cuisine mini-game map, President Lin still managed to ride this wave of game popularity for him without holding a grudge.
"Thanks to President Lin, the Dark Cuisine mini-game has recently caught the wave of Feiyang Games' popularity, and its downloads have increased several times over! The Dark Cuisine chain store has also recovered its costs and is now officially profitable. The financial report has already been sent to Secretary Zhao."
I'm so sorry, Ms. Lin, this whole thing has really benefited me from your popularity. I'll personally cover the cost and give you a larger share of the profits. Ms. Lin is truly a remarkable woman! My wife and I are planning to have a third child. If possible, could we name him Xiaoxiao (meaning "smiling")? Ms. Lin, what a wonderful name! Lin Xiaoxiao (meaning "always smiling"), good fortune naturally follows—it's such a great name!
By the way, my eldest brother finally came to his senses. My nieces and my eldest daughter, who are only sophomores in college, have already started their internships at the Li Group headquarters. If you ask me, we should have done this a long time ago. Those mediocre nephews in the group, frankly, aren't even as good as my daughter's little finger. This is all thanks to you, President Lin!
Lin Xiaoxiao never expected that the Dark Cuisine chain store would actually be profitable?! Because Feiyang Games only has two games: one is their own "Secret of Penglai Island," and the other is a Dark Cuisine mini-game in collaboration with Li Chuan, but these aren't even related games. How could they possibly ride on the coattails of popularity?! It feels like a huge loss!
Is Lin Xiaoxiao a good name?! Doesn't it look like a name that was just randomly chosen?! Lin Xiaoxiao feels that Li Chuan's filter is too thick.
"How can it be my credit? It must be because your daughter is outstanding."
"Ever since Mr. Lin's story spread throughout the industry, families that don't have suitable heirs or are considering them have started to include their daughters and granddaughters in their considerations."
Many people in the industry are wealthy and initially didn't pay much attention to their daughters, focusing instead on having sons. In my family, my eldest brother always encouraged us to have many children. I'm not afraid to admit it, but besides our family, my brothers and I also have a bunch of children outside the family.
But my wife is my first love. Before my family became wealthy, she was the prettiest girl in my class and she was always good to me. After my family started the Orange Shopping platform, how could I possibly abandon her? She's so beautiful, and I'm not good-looking, I'm not part of the inner circle of my family, and I only make a small amount of money each year. She doesn't look down on me, so how could I dare to go out and find someone else?
Because I only had two daughters, they initially relegated me to the film and television industry, which was on the fringes of the Li Group. But so what! Now everyone's starting to try and get close to me.
Previously, when I emptied my savings to make culinary disasters with you, Mr. Lin, it was all for the sake of my wife and daughter. I never expected things to turn out this way. It's always good to go to headquarters to learn; after all, there's the culinary disaster business to cover for them. Next time, I'll definitely let Mr. Lin meet my wife and daughter. They're so beautiful, and thankfully, my daughter didn't take after me.”
Lin Xiaoxiao never expected that she could have such an impact on this circle, and at the same time, she became curious about the beautiful wife and daughter that Li Chuan mentioned.
Li Chuan turned to talk about the competition, "President Lin, this game competition you've been doing is really amazing. My mom even wants to participate. My brother couldn't dissuade her, so he formed a team for her to compete in the second half of the year."
