When Wei Yang came back from buying groceries, Cai Yinong still hadn't left, which gave Boss Wei a headache.
Liu Shishi is easy to fool, and with Lao Cai instigating behind the scenes, many things become difficult.
But he didn't show it on his face, instead he put on a smile and said, "You must be hungry. I bought some cooked food and semi-finished products. The meal will be ready soon."
“No hurry.”
Cai Yinong stopped Wei Yang with a serious face and said, "Let's talk about business first."
Liu Shishi sat silently on the single sofa next to him. It seemed that the two sides had reached a tacit understanding, and Cai Yinong came forward to mediate the negotiations.
On the one hand, Liu Shishi didn't want to talk to Wei Yang. On the other hand, this kind of thing could easily get out of hand, and having someone in the middle would give her room to maneuver.
"All right."
Seeing that he couldn't avoid it, Wei Yang put his things down and sat aside.
Cai Yinong did not make any empty attempts, but spoke very straightforwardly. He first confirmed that Wei Yang was wrong, and then showed off his qualifications.
"You did something wrong. I didn't want to bother with you at first and let you fend for yourself. But after all, I watched you and Shishi get together, and I was half your matchmaker. I don't want to see you two go your separate ways from now on."
Wei Yang expressed his gratitude at the right time: "Sister Cai, I'm sorry for causing you trouble."
Cai Yinong was very satisfied with Wei Yang's attitude, which was very beneficial to the negotiations.
You have to know that not everyone can be a peacemaker. One has to be able to control his or her status and relationships and be relatively neutral.
Cai Yinong’s reputation was well chosen. She did contribute to the situation of Wei and Liu back then.
He wanted to use the beauty trap at first, but ended up losing his own sister. However, he later acquiesced to their relationship and provided them with many conveniences and protection. Of course, there were reasons for this, but Wei and Liu also had to be grateful.
When a couple quarrels, it is only natural for the matchmaker to mediate. No one can find fault with her.
Although Mr. Cai looks serious and aggressive, he is also cautious in his heart.
She has good words with Liu Shishi, and she has face in Wei Yang, but it is hard to say how much power she can have.
Especially since she is still a member of Liu Yifang, there is nothing she can do if Wei Yang finds an excuse to give her a cold shoulder.
After all, Wei Yang doesn't want to let go now, so she and Liu Shishi can be a little unrestrained, but if things get out of hand, they really have no way to fight back except breaking up.
Even if he broke off relations with her and exposed the secrets, it wouldn't be of much use and wouldn't hurt Wei Yang at all. At most, the latter would temporarily retreat behind the scenes.
It's hard to say what will happen to Liu Shishi afterwards, but the friendship that Old Cai had for each other in the past cannot withstand this great hatred. With Boss Wei's strength in the Shanghai circle, it is not difficult to destroy Tang Ren.
But it is obvious that Wei Yang still cares about Liu Shishi very much, and is willing to give face to this old acquaintance in order to resolve the conflict and reconcile.
Cai Yinong won the first battle and was very satisfied, and she also helped Wei Yang to get out of the situation.
"I know Wei Yang. He is smart, and his business and professional skills are impeccable, but he is a little gullible, especially when it comes to women."
"There are all kinds of people in our circle. Those women are cunning and cunning, and it's hard to guard against them. So it's inevitable that we will be fooled by their sweet talk. We can't blame him for some things."
Cai Yinong began to talk nonsense to Wei Yang, saying that women outside were too bad and Boss Wei was caught off guard, so he was cheated.
Therefore, the real culprits are Da Mimi and Tang Yan. They deliberately seduced Wei Yang, which led to the situation today. Although Wei Yang was wrong, his crime does not deserve the death penalty.
This is not wrong, it was indeed Tangmei who took the initiative, but Boss Wei was by no means naive, he was half-hearted and deliberately fooled.
It was unfair to let Tangmei take all the blame, but Wei Yang was not stupid enough to jump out to defend the two of them.
This is not the time to act like a man and show off. If he dares to speak for Tangmei, it would be strange if Liu Shishi doesn't get angry.
Therefore, Wei Yang neither admitted nor explained and remained silent.
But in the eyes of Cai and Liu, this was undoubtedly a tacit agreement, and it also showed that the conflict between the two sides had shifted from the two of them to molasses.
This was the idea that Cai Yinong gave to Liu Shishi, to take advantage of the situation to crush Tangmei, strive for more favorable conditions, consolidate his own position, and even go further.
Putting aside marriage, if Wei Yang could acknowledge and officially announce her as his girlfriend, it would be a major victory for Liu Shishi.
Wei Yang's silence gave Cai Yinong the illusion that molasses meant nothing to Wei Yang, so she immediately made a request.
"From now on, you have to show your attitude, cut off all ties with them, and have nothing to do with them anymore. Then, compensate Shishi properly."
She thought that Wei Yang would nod readily to this request, but unexpectedly, Wei Yang remained silent.
After a long while, Wei Yang finally responded, "Compensation is due, but the two of them are involved in a lot of businesses, and there are still many plans ahead. It's not something that can be cut off just like that."
Although Wei Yang used business as an excuse, his meaning was very clear: the expectations of Cai and Liu could not be met.
"You seem to be protecting them, so why are you still hanging around here?"
Liu Shishi laughed sadly, ignored the subsequent negotiations, went straight to the bedroom and slammed the door.
“You, you, you…”
Cai Yinong was so angry that she was shaking. She was so disappointed with him: "Where is your usual cleverness? How can you say this now?"
You still have some little tricks up your sleeve, so why don't you come back secretly and fool around with this matter first? But now you are so tough in your attitude, it would be strange if Liu Shishi is not angry.
"Don't say things you can't do, otherwise the consequences will be more serious."
How could Wei Yang not know what Liu Shishi's reaction would be after he said this? But the key point is that if he told a lie, it would be easy to pass this hurdle now, but if he was discovered again in the future, he would be doomed.
Liu Shishi could tolerate him once, but could not tolerate his repeated betrayals.
Don't think that Liu Shishi is soft-hearted and easy to talk to, but the more such people are, once they are disappointed and their hearts become hard, there is no room for redemption.
Wei Yang has already fallen once this time, and it is impossible for him to fall into trouble again, so he would rather suffer a little more and solve the problem as satisfactorily as possible. He does not want to sleep with a bomb in his arms again.
"What's so good about them? Shishi has been following you since you were not famous."
Cai Yinong couldn't understand Wei Yang's behavior, and Boss Wei didn't know how to explain it. He didn't want to analyze his greed and possessiveness with others, so he just emphasized it.
"Don't worry, I won't give up on Shi Shi."
"Oh, man."
At this point, Cai Yinong had figured out a little bit about Wei Yang's thoughts. She could only mock him, but there was nothing she could do.
However, this trip was not in vain after all. At least it can be seen that Liu Shishi and Wei Yang have no intention of breaking up, they are just deadlocked on this matter.
Who can deal with whom in the end depends on their respective strategies.
But for Cai Yinong, as long as the two of them don't break up, she will be relieved. As for other things, she doesn't have the ability or courage to care.
Cai Yinong left, and Liu Shishi did not come out. Wei Yang hesitated for a moment, but still did not go to the guest bedroom. He chose to work and sleep on the sofa to play the victim.
In the early hours of the morning, Wei Yang, who had been handling a lot of work on the computer, fell asleep on the sofa.
Liu Shishi slept for most of the day and was dozed off for a while because she was tired from crying, so she was still quite energetic.
She was unaware of what was going on outside. Even though there was a bathroom in the master bedroom, she insisted on going out to use the toilet. Then she saw Wei Yang lying on the sofa, a computer on the coffee table, and some scattered documents and utensils.
"Pretend!"
Liu Shishi snorted coldly, turned back to the bedroom, took out her cell phone, and not wanting to read the news online, she opened the game "Happy Match" that she played every day to pass the time.
However, after playing two levels, she realized that this mobile game was produced by Red Shark Game Company, which was Wei Yang's industry. She had previously cooperated with the game company's promotional press releases.
"Shock! Goddess Liu Shishi's favorite thing to play is this"
"Pictures reveal the truth! The secrets in the cell phones of big stars"
"Liu Shishi reveals that she loves playing Candy Crush so much that she forgets to eat and sleep"
《……》

When "Happy Match 3" was launched, Liu Shishi often collaborated with it and was on the hot search list several times because of it.
The most important thing is that Liu Shishi only did half the work of a spokesperson, but it was free promotion. Red Shark borrowed the influence of this most popular actress without paying a penny and greatly increased the popularity of the game.
Normally, this situation is relatively rare, as artists all attach great importance to their commercial value, especially those who are currently the most popular.
However, at that time, Liu Shishi felt that the red shark was her own business and there was no need to make such a clear distinction, so the Tang people turned a blind eye to it.
There is no other way. Liu Shishi, the number one sister, has a very special status in Tangren, so she can only be praised.
Anyway, this is just a soft advertisement. There is no binding relationship between the two parties, and nothing has been announced to the public. Just treat it as a tacit acceptance of the payment, and don't make a big deal about it to affect the impression of other companies.
At that time, Liu Shishi was quite happy and felt that she had helped Wei Yang, but now, she gets angry whenever she watches this game.
Playing this game yourself is just giving that bastard money to play with women!
The more Liu Shishi thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt, so she simply uninstalled "Happy Match 3", as well as another cool running game "Battle Royale" by Red Shark Riot Games, which she occasionally played.
Then she opened her cell phone again, trying to find a new game, preferably one that was more exciting and could help her relieve her sexual desire.
Open the mobile phone mall, and you will see that several games of Red Shark are ranked quite high in the game list.
This is not surprising. Red Shark is the fastest growing gaming company in the past two years, especially in mobile games, where it has achieved impressive results.
It owns more than ten authorized or self-made mobile games, including IP film and games such as "Battle Royale", "Happy Match", "My Love from the Star" and "Joy of Life".
There are also fishing games such as "Under the Sea Battle", business games such as "I am the Boss", martial arts competitive games such as "Jianghu Feng", adventure and development games such as "Gods and Demons Continent", tower defense games such as "Tower Defense Warring States" and so on.
The cumulative monthly revenue of these games is very impressive, just taking the first two quarters of this year as an example.
Red Shark's total mobile game revenue in the first three months of the year reached 590 million, of which "Happy Match 3" alone contributed 95 million.
The increase in the second quarter was even more astonishing, surging to RMB 752 million in a single quarter.
It can be said that the cash cow that Wei Yang had invested in for a long time and was particularly looking forward to has begun to demonstrate its capabilities after accumulating momentum for several years.
Of course, Red Shark can only get a part of the more than one billion in turnover. After deducting development and operation costs, channel fees, part of the agency fees, taxes and other miscellaneous expenses, the actual amount that Wei Yang gets is not as exaggerated as it appears.
Otherwise, Wei Yang could have relied on Red Shark's funds to compete head-on with Suning, and there would have been no need to use his own well-hidden private money.
However, Wei Yang showed no sign of being discouraged.
The fact that the makeshift team has grown into a new upstart in the gaming industry proves that his layout strategy was not wrong.
At present, there is still great potential to be tapped in games like Red Shark, and the mobile game market has an even brighter future.
The current turnover of more than one billion in half a year may seem terrifying, but it is far from the limit. In fact, it won’t be long before the turnover in the second half of the year will probably increase significantly, and it is hard to say how many times it will increase next year or the year after.
For example, "Happy Match 3", this type of game has a large market and strong potential.
Wei Yang had read a report in his previous life. He forgot what it was called, but it happened to be a representative of the Candy Crush game.
The report said that the game's annual revenue from 2015 to 2017 was 650 million, 1.14 billion, and 1.46 billion, respectively. In the following years, the annual revenue was also over 1.5 billion, with some years exceeding 2 billion.
And this is just one of the games! Red Shark is not bad in itself, and with the inspiration of Wei Yang's command, it can intercept those popular games.
If Wei Yang had a rough idea about the future of Blue Whale and PPTV, even he didn't know where Red Shark would go in the future.
Maybe it died halfway! ?
Maybe he can become a gaming giant that earns millions of dollars a day!
Liu Shishi didn't quite know what kind of company the Red Shark that she disliked was.
Due to the special nature of the gaming industry, Red Shark is relatively low-key and its marketing and promotion are mainly focused on the game itself.
Even the startup pages of many games are the company's studios, such as miHoYo, Antarctic Star, and Yinhan, with only an inconspicuous red shark logo in the corner.
Therefore, except for people in the industry and netizens who pay more attention to games, ordinary people are relatively unfamiliar with this company. Many people don’t even know its connection with Wei Yang. This is also the reason why Boss Wei deliberately concealed it.
Therefore, Liu Shishi only knew that Red Shark was an industry that Wei Yang was interested in and that it had quite good profits, but she didn't pay much attention to the specific situation of the company.
So Liu Shishi searched the mall again and again, and got recommendations from some netizens on the Internet, and finally chose a new game called "Honor of Kings".
"Dishou Studio, who came up with this crappy name?"
Liu Shishi muttered something, then skipped the game startup page, without noticing the familiar red shark logo in the lower right corner.
Honor of Kings
Under the instruction of Boss Wei, Red Shark copied...a mobile game based on the model of "League of Legends".
It was just launched in early July and already has quite a few users, and even Liu Shishi was fooled into the trap.
Boss Wei has high hopes for this game. It is a super cash cow. At its peak, it almost supported half of the mobile game market.
Of course, Boss Wei could already imagine the imitations and lawyers' letters that would come from Penguin after this game became popular.
By the way, Wei Yang really wanted to meet with Penguin's [Nanshan Pizza Hut] legal team. His legal team has been rampant in Shanghai in recent years and is known as the [Xuhui Tumbler].
Red Shark has been bullied by this fat penguin a lot in the gaming circle in recent years. He must deal with him if he gets a chance. It’s not only seals that eat penguins…
