Gotta Spend More!

Not bad!

The seemingly harmless, goofy Little Nezha actually had a system of her own!

Little Nezha's real name was Shen Miaomiao. She lived in Binjiang and was a fourth-year student in the Financial Engineering Department at Jinling University.

According to school requirements, fourth-year students no longer needed to attend classes. Instead, they had to find a company for an internship.

Originally, this was no big deal at all for Shen Miaomiao.

Her family was in the capital investment business, and her father had countless companies under his wing, big and small.

As long as Old Shen was willing, he could casually write her an internship certificate, and she could happily lounge around at home like a beautiful salted fish.

But, as fate would have it, things did not go her way.

With a grand wave of his hand, Old Shen not only refused to write her a certificate, but even threw a company at her!

"Aren't you studying some kinda financial engineering? Go be an Intern CEO and get some practice."

Shen Miaomiao was stunned on the spot!

What kind of money superpower was this?

Who had ever seen an intern start out as an intern CEO?

And why the heck were you giving me a Game Technology Company?

I don't understand games!

I can't even play Carrot Fantasy properly!

But just as she was about to refuse, the system descended.

Rebate System

A heaven-defying cheat that allowed her to receive compensation several times over as long as an investment failed!

However, in order to prevent the host from exploiting bugs and deliberately making failed investments—

Shen Miaomiao's system also had two prerequisites—

Condition One: During the host's term as Intern CEO, she must successfully bind a Principal for investment.

Condition Two: The Principal must conform to standard industry logic and remain unaware of this system.

Note: Both conditions must be met simultaneously for the system to officially activate. Otherwise, it would self-destruct.

Thus!

That was how today's interview came about!

Click.

As the meeting room door closed, only chief secretary Chu Qingzhou and CEO Shen Miaomiao remained inside.

After a moment of silence.

"You little ancestor, you're being ridiculous!"

Chu Qingzhou vigorously shook Shen Miaomiao by the shoulders, as if trying to shake the water out of her brain.

Shen Miaomiao's decision was even more slapdash than the art style of Gu Sheng's game!

"With that level of design skill, I almost wanted to tell him to start a crowdfunding campaign!"

Chu Qingzhou was practically losing her mind:

"Even if you wanted to do charity, there was no need to gamble the company's future!"

"Ahhh—ahhh—"

Shen Miaomiao swayed back and forth from the shaking:

"Sister Chuchu—my head is going to fall off—"

Whoosh!

Hearing that, Chu Qingzhou finally stopped and let out a regretful sigh:

"It's my fault too. I didn't stop you,"

"Hiring such an idiot as director... our company is probably doomed..."

Seeing Chu Qingzhou's dejected expression, Shen Miaomiao became excited.

Wasn't that exactly what I wanted!

How could she not know that Gu Sheng was an idiot of a designer?

But an idiot of a designer was exactly what she was looking for!

Otherwise, where would the tenfold rebate come from?

And where would my salted-fish life of achieving financial freedom while lying down come from?

Of course, Shen Miaomiao could not say what was on her mind. So, suppressing her laughter, she patted her chief secretary on the shoulder:

"Sister Chuchu, there's no need to be so discouraged. Director Gu wasn't entirely wrong just now,"

"Difficult level design may be frustrating, but the sense of accomplishment after clearing it will surely bring players joy as well,"

"I believe in my judgment,"

"This Mario Bros. game will definitely sell very well..."

Yeah, right!

Shen Miaomiao added inwardly.

That whole spiel had been nothing but barefaced nonsense. Even she did not believe it.

With a game that terrible, they would probably lose however much they invested in it.

At that thought, Shen Miaomiao began calculating to herself.

How could she raise the investment in this game as much as possible...

The next day!

Gu Sheng officially took up his post!

Sitting in his spacious, bright private office, Gu Sheng turned over a business card printed with the words "Golden Wind Game Director—Gu Sheng." He still could not help feeling somewhat uneasy.

This whole thing was far too absurd.

After returning to his dorm yesterday, he had thought it over again and again all night, yet still could not figure out why Little Nezha had hired him as director.

Because as far as he knew, there had been no shortage of experienced experts among yesterday's applicants!

There was a master's graduate who had returned from studying abroad in Neon.

There were veteran professionals who had spent ten years deeply involved in the gaming industry.

There was even a Deputy Director who had once overseen a game project worth tens of millions.

Yet Little Nezha had not chosen any of them.

Out of all those applicants, she had singled him out at a glance!

He simply could not make sense of it.

Just as he was thinking!

Knock, knock, knock—

Suddenly, someone knocked on the office door.

Gu Sheng came back to his senses and placed the business card into its box. "Come in."

Click.

As the frosted glass office door opened, an adorable girl with bun-shaped hair appeared in the doorway:

"Director Gu? Is now a good time?"

It was Shen Miaomiao!

Seeing her, Gu Sheng hurriedly rose to his feet. "Little... uh, CEO Shen."

That was close. He had almost let it slip.

"It's fine, it's fine. Sit down."

Walking into the office, Shen Miaomiao put on an intentionally seasoned air and waved at Gu Sheng:

"I came by today mainly to see whether you needed anything else here,"

"And I also wanted to talk with you about... the development of Mario Bros."

Gu Sheng nodded.

As expected of the boss!

Even when speaking, she beat around the bush. Clearly, she wanted to discuss the project, yet she had to find an excuse first.

"Thank you for your concern, CEO Shen. My office conditions here are already excellent,"

As he spoke, Gu Sheng poured Shen Miaomiao a glass of water:

"As for the project, what aspect would CEO Shen like to know about?"

After thanking him, Shen Miaomiao picked up the glass:

"I mainly wanted to ask about this project's investment budget. Does Director Gu have a rough estimate?"

The budget...?

Gu Sheng was almost embarrassed to use the word "budget."

He held up two fingers. "Two hundred."

Hearing that, Shen Miaomiao raised her brows slightly and looked at Gu Sheng in surprise. "Two million?"

Gu Sheng nearly sprayed out a mouthful of water.

This girl was not Little Nezha. She was a money-delivering deity!

Just think about it with your knees—there was no way this thing was worth two million!

"Two hundred yuan!"

Gu Sheng hurriedly corrected her, terrified that the next second, Officer Uncle would haul him away in handcuffs for fraud.

However, explaining only made things worse.

The moment he said that, Shen Miaomiao's eyes flew wide open. Her reaction was even greater than when she had heard two million!

"How much?!"

"Two hundred yuan..." Gu Sheng grimaced. "Is there a problem?"

There was a huge problem!!!

Alarm bells blared in Shen Miaomiao's mind!

Only two hundred yuan?

The cost was way too low!

Even multiplied tenfold, it would only be two thousand yuan!

No, no!

Shen Miaomiao inwardly cried out that this was bad, her mind racing at high speed!

She had to find a way to increase the investment, preferably max it out immediately!

After all, the more she invested, the higher the rebate she would receive!

Thus, after pondering for a moment, Shen Miaomiao spoke:

"This cost... the amount is too small. It'll be difficult for Finance to process the accounts,"

"Gotta spend more!"
