Chapter 71 Two Million, Restore Game Program
Wen Xin simply stopped pretending and took the phone watch from Zhou Shuang's hand and turned on the hands-free mode.
"Lin Shu, let's have a good talk."
The lights in the sky cafe on the 88th floor of the Dingsheng Hotel are dim. An elegant violinist plays soothing tunes on the stage. There is a lamp on each table, and the candlelight flickers, creating a pleasant atmosphere.
We had agreed to meet at 8 o'clock, but Wen Xin was an hour late.
Lin Shu drank coffee while waiting.
She also ordered a small piece of cake, and put it into her mouth bit by bit with a silver spoon, carefully and elegantly.
Wen Xin was wearing a white suit and a beige knee-length skirt. She walked into the cafe in a business outfit. Her neat appearance attracted many people's attention.
Lin Shu, who was sitting in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and quietly flipping through a magazine, had already attracted a lot of attention. Everyone who saw her had an indelible glint of amazement in their eyes.
Wen Xin walked over and sat down opposite Lin Shu. Her delicately made-up face had a hint of contempt, but she concealed it skillfully.
"Lin Shu—"
She stared at Lin Shu for several seconds before slowly saying, "You haven't changed."
Lin Shu closed the magazine, straightened his back, and met her gaze fearlessly.
Wen Xin thought she would say something, but Lin Shu just remained silent.
"Actually, I have no objection to you continuing to be Mrs. Zhou. Why bother coming out here and making such a fuss? Lin Shu, the workplace isn't for you."
Wen Xin picked up the coffee in front of her and took a sip. Although it was obviously bitter, she looked like she was enjoying it.
"I understand that you wanted to show off your skills and abilities in front of Zhou Yanli and wanted to emulate those strong women. Facts have proven that you've failed, haven't you?"
She gently placed the coffee cup on the table. "Name your price. How much are you willing to fix the game? Everyone has a price. I believe you're using this tactic because you're probably waiting for us to ask you for help."
Wen Xin looked at Lin Shu proudly with the attitude of a winner.
She learned from the servants that Lin Shu had moved out of the house he and Zhou Yanli lived in.
But isn't it a bit of a game of playing hard to get that she joined Zhou Yanli's friend's company?
However, Lin Shu was sensible enough to not tell Gu Fujing that he and Zhou Yanli were husband and wife.
Lin Shu looked at Wen Xin with a slightly distant look, as if it had no focus.
"How many do you come up with?"
She looked at the coffee that was almost cold without any expression.
Wen Xin's lips curled up slightly: "Two million."
Oh--
Lin Shu's eyebrows did not move, and there was no emotion at all.
Wen Xin paid attention to her expression, but didn't catch any changes.
She couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. "You think it's too little? Compared to your salary at Feiyuan Technology, two million is no small sum. Lin Shu, don't be greedy."
She believed that Lin Shu must not have made much money in the Zhou family over the years, otherwise he would not have to come out to earn a living and pretend to be a workplace elite.
"The release of your game is not solely yours. You're just a programmer. Two million is a favor I gave you. If it really goes to Mr. Gu, there's no way he'll get that much."
Wen Xin took out a check with the amount already filled in from her bag and pushed it in front of Lin Shu.
"As long as you nod, the money is yours."
Lin Shu curled his lips slightly. "I heard Zhou Yanli invested over a billion. If the game can't be launched, Miss Wen can use these two million to help him fill some gaps."
There was a clear tear in the warm expression.
Lin Shu took out two banknotes and placed them on the bottom of the coffee cup.
"I'm afraid I can't help you with this. Miss Wen, go to the technical department and fix the bug in my program. I believe you have the ability to fix the game yourself. It's better to rely on yourself than to ask others for help. Sorry, I have something to do and I have to leave first. Coffee is on me."
She stood up and walked forward expressionlessly.
Wen Xin chased after him, a little exasperated.
"Lin Shu, this game isn't just funded by the Zhou Corporation, but also by the Yingtian Group. I heard your grandfather founded it. If anything happens to Yingtian, you won't benefit. It'll just be a lose-lose situation."
Lin Shu stopped and turned slowly.
Unfortunately, the look in her eyes when she looked at Wen Xin was so cold that it could penetrate into one's bones.
"If a mere game can bankrupt Yingtian, then Jiang Shang has indeed been too unmotivated over the years. You should be partly responsible for the poor investment, after all, it was you who instigated it. I think you should think about how to explain it to Jiang Shang."
Lin Shu ignored Wen Xin and quickly left the cafe with brisk steps.
It was late at night and Yu Yu's car had arrived at the hotel entrance.
Before Lin Shu got into the car, he saw a familiar luxury business car driving over.
Wen Xin was still on it, and the license plate was Zhou Yanli's. It seemed that not only Wen Xin wanted to persuade her, but Zhou Yanli probably had the same intention.
Lin Shu got into the car. Yu Yu had already turned up the air conditioner to the maximum. After a while, her body began to warm up.
In the rearview mirror, Zhou Yanli was considerately opening the car door for Wen Xin. Lin Shu stopped prying into the lives of people who had nothing to do with him. He closed his eyes, leaned back in the seat, and felt a little drowsy.
When she suddenly woke up, she found herself still sitting in the car.
Yu Yu had already driven the car to the door of her house. Seeing her wake up, he whispered, "Ms. Lin, I saw you were asleep so I didn't wake you up. Do you want to get out now?"
Feiyuan Technology
Gu Fujing hasn't slept for two days.
Lin Shu ran into him when she came to work. She looked at him, thinking he would say something to her, but unexpectedly, Gu Fujing just greeted her briefly and went straight to the office.
He was so patient that even An Yu, who came here to inquire about the news, couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.
"Didn't Mr. Gu talk to you about it?"
An Yu thought that Gu Fujing would eventually come to ask Lin Shu for help, but she never waited for him.
Lin Shu curled his lips slightly.
I'm afraid Gu Fujing won't come because there's no need.
Gu Fujing was sitting in the office when his cell phone rang with an unfamiliar number.
The other party's voice was deep and powerful: "Mr. Gu, are you willing to sell that game to me at a good price?"
Gu Fujing was stunned when he heard the price the man offered.
"This game has been completely scrapped and removed from the shelves. Why buy it?"
He has been exhausted from working on this game recently. Fortunately, Zhou Yanli invested in his girlfriend instead of Feiyuan Technology forcing her to invest. Otherwise, he would be under even greater pressure.
Gu Fujing’s main problem is that he has to face the abuse from online players every day, and technology companies will inevitably release new game programs. He has stepped into a big pit this time. Who will dare to spend money on Feiyuan Technology’s online games in the future?
"That's my business. Mr. Gu can consider it and either sell it to me or sell it to me. But my time is limited. I only give you three days. Give me an answer after three days."
