All of a sudden!
The venue erupted into discussion and uproar!
Th-this is the President of Golden Wind?!
She's way too young!
Tsk, tsk. I could tell from her clothes that this girl was no ordinary person. I said she had to come from an impressive background!
Cut the crap. Weren't you saying she was some poor student intern when we were chatting earlier?
Uh, well...
This really proves that ambition has nothing to do with age.
Once this young CEO Shen finishes speaking, we have to go get closer to her and learn from her.
Together, together...
Every face was filled with astonishment!
No one seemed able to believe that the person at the helm of a company whose three consecutive games had torn through the sales charts—and whose latest game had created a legend in daily sales for small games—was actually such a young girl?!
Wonderful!
Standing onstage, Shen Miaomiao could clearly see the expressions on most of the people in the venue.
It was truly a spectacular sight.
There was surprise, bewilderment, regret, and even envy and jealousy!
No one could resist the thrill of showing off after succeeding.
Shen Miaomiao was no exception.
On the surface, she continued delivering her prepared speech in an orderly manner.
But inside, she was already over the moon!
Woohoo! This feels so damn good!!!
If she laughed onstage right now, her grin would probably stretch to the back of her head!
She stole a glance toward Gu Sheng's seat.
She found that Gu Sheng was looking at her too.
Their eyes met. Gu Sheng raised an eyebrow, as if to say: Well? Did we give these people a little Golden Shock?
Shen Miaomiao nearly lost her composure.
She was increasingly realizing that Gu Sheng was downright devious.
His mind seemed to contain countless ways to be a pain in the ass, and he was unmatched at messing with people's heads.
But perhaps that was exactly why.
He could make games like Mario Bros.
"...Finally, on behalf of Golden Wind, I would like to extend our sincere gratitude to the Yiyou Game Platform,"
"And going forward, Golden Wind will continue to uphold the spirit of bold exploration and strive to develop more games,"
"Together with all our fellow developers, we will contribute to our country's gaming industry!"
Shen Miaomiao meant that final part from the bottom of her heart.
Always maintaining a spirit of exploration meant turning her sights toward even more obscure game genres!
Striving to develop more games meant investing as much as possible, launching plenty of projects, and losing enormous amounts of money!
As for "contributing to our country's gaming industry"!
That was right too!
This old lady would stomp all over every massive pit in the market!
She would become a human mine detector and clear all the mines for them—wasn't that a contribution to the gaming industry?!
Shen Miaomiao was very satisfied with her speech.
She bowed and stepped off the stage, drawing waves of applause from below.
Even Yan Sheng, who took the stage after her, lavished her with praise!
"Thank you for CEO Shen's speech,"
"I believe those remarks fully represent the sentiments of all of us game developers present,"
"Although Golden Wind, like everyone here, is still in its infancy,"
"With such determination, such responsibility, and such leadership, I believe our country's gaming industry will surely rise..."
Onstage, Yan Sheng spoke with fervor and passion—thirty percent flattery, seventy percent admiration. Every word rang loud and clear.
Offstage, Shen Miaomiao kept wiping away sweat—thirty percent uneasy, seventy percent ashamed. She felt like she was sitting on pins and needles, nearly ready to leave early.
"You look pretty hot?"
Beside her, Gu Sheng looked at the flushed Shen Miaomiao with puzzlement.
Shen Miaomiao bared her teeth.
This isn't heat. It's my guilty conscience being roasted over blazing, sincere flames.
I talked about one thing, and he took it somewhere completely different.
Sorry, CEO Yan. I've let you down.
I'm not a leading sheep.
At best, I'm just a rice bucket... or even a shit-stirring stick.
"I... I'm excited."
Shen Miaomiao swallowed and said awkwardly.
"You'll get used to it."
Without suspecting anything, Gu Sheng waved a hand, signaling Shen Miaomiao to relax.
"Tch—talking like you've been to loads of events like this."
Shen Miaomiao pouted in defiance, feeling that Gu Sheng was pretending to be an expert.
Gu Sheng opened his mouth, wanting to say that she had guessed right—he had attended countless events like this.
He had attended the Dark Souls launch event, arranged the Sekiro press conference, handled the Chinese general promotional campaign for For Honor, and hosted the live gameplay presentation for Skull and Bones.
But the next second, he realized this was no longer his previous life.
He gave an ambiguous smile, shrugged, and offered no rebuttal.
He turned his gaze back toward the stage.
At that moment, Yan Sheng had already finished his summary.
He cleared his throat and said:
"As everyone knows, the main purpose of this event is to promote exchanges among our companies, so the opening should not run too long,"
"Next comes the final segment of our opening ceremony—and also the most important segment!"
As he spoke!
Yan Sheng opened the script in front of him and solemnly announced:
"Now, please welcome Golden Wind Game Director, recipient of this Development Festival's Supernova Designer title, breaker of multiple sales records on the Yiyou Platform, and lead designer of the phenomenal game Vampire Survivors—"
"Mr. Gu Sheng!"
"To deliver a speech and officially announce the start of this exchange event!!!"
As Yan Sheng read out that long string of titles, comparable to the Mother of Dragons' own!
The venue first fell silent for half a second!
Then it suddenly exploded!!!
Boom—!!!
The main man was here!
After all!
Ever since Gu Sheng, as Golden Wind's game director, had released three games and claimed the top spot three times, the gaming world's curiosity about this rising designer had reached its peak!
And beyond exchanging experience and learning from one another, a major reason everyone had come to today's networking event was to catch a glimpse of Director Gu himself!
The competing developers all wanted to see what kind of person could carve out a new path amid so many homogenized game genres.
Not only had he fought his way through, but he had also created a phenomenal game!
For many developer representatives, simply getting to see Gu Sheng in person at this event would make the trip worthwhile!
In an instant!
The venue stirred as people craned their necks to look around.
The media were even more exaggerated!
Every camera was raised, flashes went off in rapid succession, and the constant click-click of shutters filled the air!
Under the gaze of the entire crowd!
Gu Sheng calmly stepped onto the red-carpeted stage. He waved to the media below as he made his way to the podium.
Unhurriedly, he stepped behind the podium and adjusted the microphone slightly.
Only after the murmurs throughout the venue had died down did he slowly begin:
"Thank you, CEO Yan. Good morning to all media friends, fellow developers, and players,"
"I am the game director of Golden Wind Game Technology Co., Ltd.,"
"Gu Sheng."
