Development Festival Exchange Event

Shen Miaomiao felt a pang of annoyance seeing this "God of Wealth."

She sat back down.

Suddenly, the two of them were the only ones left in the large conference room.

Their eyes met.

This was the first time Shen Miaomiao had truly looked at Gu Sheng.

During the previous interview, they had hastily signed the contract.

And in the development of multiple games afterward, Shen Miaomiao had mostly worked with Chu Qingzhou.

She looked up at Gu Sheng, who was leaning against the edge of the table.

He had a clear and sunny face. Although he was wearing a slightly childish Mickey Mouse hoodie, it couldn't hide the deep and steady color in his eyes.

They stared at each other for a moment.

Pfft—

Shen Miaomiao couldn't help herself:

"That was a very straightforward statement, Director Gu..."

Even as she said this, Shen Miaomiao picked up her steaming mug and took a gentle sip of hot water.

Gu Sheng also smiled, pulling something from behind his back with his other hand:

"How about this, then?"

A lollipop!

Seeing Gu Sheng produce a lollipop as if by magic, Shen Miaomiao's previously dim eyes lit up!

She instinctively reached for it!

But her hand stopped halfway, and she glanced at the lollipop uncomfortably, feigning a more upright posture:

"This... this is a bit childish!"

"But it's just right for a college student."

The next second, Gu Sheng unwrapped the lollipop and popped it directly into Shen Miaomiao's mouth.

"Mmm..."

As Shen Miaomiao chewed the sweet lollipop, the knot in her heart seemed to loosen a bit:

"I think you're being a bit disrespectful to the CEO."

"It's fine,"

Gu Sheng said dismissively, waving his hand.

"You'll understand our respect when we pay the bill at the restaurant later."

As he spoke, Gu Sheng folded the wrapper neatly and flicked it into the trash can with a flourish.

Shen Miaomiao: ...

The more I listen, the more I feel like a sucker.

Chatting and laughing, the group arrived at the restaurant.

With the boss footing the bill, no one was going to hold back.

Exquisite dishes were served one after another. At everyone's request, Gu Sheng, as the overall person in charge of this game, was asked to say a few words.

Gu Sheng chuckled and raised his wine glass. "Then I wish our Golden Wind all the best, and may our sales soar..."

"Okay!"

Before he could finish, Shen Miaomiao raised her glass, quickly interrupting him.

Please, just stop talking about making money, it's bad luck.

The group was in high spirits when!

Shen Miaomiao's phone rang.

"Hello? Who is this?"

Shen Miaomiao answered the phone.

A man's voice, slightly hesitant, spoke from the other end:

"CEO Shen, it's me, Yan Sheng."

Shen Miaomiao's face darkened.

Why was today so unlucky?

She needed to find an opportunity to burn some incense.

The reason why the Vampire Survivors project had such exaggerated profits was not only due to Gu Sheng's last-minute version update, but also the indispensable promotional assistance from Yan Sheng, his equally cunning teammate.

This is already a hassle, and you're adding to my troubles!

Shen Miaomiao sighed inwardly, calling it a day of bad luck and misfortune.

However, she had no reason to take it out on Yan Sheng, so she could only roll her eyes internally. "Oh, CEO Yan, what's so important that you're calling so late?"

She heard Yan Sheng chuckle sheepishly on the other end of the line. "Oh, I'm sorry to bother you, CEO Shen. Should I call you tomorrow morning then?"

"It's fine,"

Shen Miaomiao thought to herself, Just get it over with. What kind of trouble are you planning now? Tell me today, don't ruin my mood tomorrow.

"I'm out to dinner with our company's executives, so I'm not busy right now."

"Really? Hahahaha, a celebration banquet, right!"

Yan Sheng laughed.

"Look at my brain, I haven't even had a chance to congratulate you yet!"

"Breaking ten thousand sales in the first hour is indeed worth celebrating! Worth celebrating! Congratulations, CEO Shen!"

CEO Shen: ...

Can you just get to the point if you have something to say?

Why are you rubbing salt in my wounds?

Shen Miaomiao almost spat out a mouthful of blood, feeling extremely annoyed but still forcing a smile. "...Thank you, CEO Yan. Let's talk business."

Stop talking, stop talking. If you keep going, I'm going to go to the rooftop for some fresh air.

"Yes, yes, business. CEO Shen is victorious but not arrogant, a young hero."

Hearing Shen Miaomiao's flat tone, Yan Sheng couldn't help but give her a thumbs-up in his heart.

He immediately showered her with praise.

Look at that!

With her family background, her psychological resilience is so mature!

If it were anyone else, seeing their game achieve such results, they would probably be ecstatic!

And look at young CEO Shen!

Not a trace of excitement or emotion!

She can really keep her cool!

She's a great talent!

Clearing his throat, Yan Sheng said, "It's like this, CEO Shen. Your company has shone brightly in this event,"

"And your talented design director, Mr. Gu Sheng, has naturally attracted special attention from the industry."

"Because our event is intended to bring designers from behind the scenes to the forefront,"

"So, we've scheduled an invitation for you and Director Gu to attend our Development Festival Exchange Event this Wednesday."

"At that time, many developers participating in this event, as well as friends from game-related media, will be present."

"I've already asked my assistant to send the relevant detailed information to your work email."

"Please do us the honor of attending."

Hmm...

Actually, Shen Miaomiao had no interest in such a trivial event.

With that time, wouldn't it be better to just lie at home, slack off in the office, or binge-watch shows?

But then she thought again!

The Development Festival Exchange Event, meaning many 'competitors' will be there?

You should know!

Most of the developers participating in this event are small workshops that are not well-known.

They have almost zero successful experience, but definitely a mountain of failed experience.

At that time, could she learn from those money-losing fools?

Learn their advanced money-losing strategies!

Fortunately, her competitors didn't know what Shen Miaomiao was thinking at that moment, or they would have surely cursed her for being wicked.

Thinking of this!

Shen Miaomiao nodded. "Okay, I'll prepare then. I'll see you in Zhongjing on Wednesday."

Upon hearing this, Yan Sheng was overjoyed.

"Good, good, good! Then I'll eagerly await the arrival of CEO Shen and Director Gu!"

After hanging up the phone, Shen Miaomiao explained the situation to everyone present.

The group was naturally overjoyed.

After all, it was an invitation from a top-tier domestic gaming platform.

For their relatively new and small company, it would undoubtedly be a significant boost.

Most importantly, being able to communicate with the attending game companies would be of great help in understanding market trends and determining future development plans.

Gu Sheng had no objections to this.

After all, in this world, China had yet to produce a game designer who could stand on the world stage.

He didn't mind being the first.

Furthermore, attending this exchange event would allow him to gain a deeper understanding of this world's electronic technology level and its impact on the game industry.

Take, for example, the haptic feedback cabin technology.

Gu Sheng had coveted this technology for a long time.

Slowly peeling the Arctic sweet shrimp, Gu Sheng mused to himself:

He needed to find an opportunity to test the waters by bringing games from his previous life to the haptic feedback cabins.

Like Battlefield, like Apex, like Euro Truck Simulator.

And also...

Horror games?
