Suddenly!

Within the venue, discussions erupted, and a clamor filled the air!

'This... this is the CEO of Golden Wind?!'

'She's so young!'

'Tsk, I noticed her unusual clothing earlier and said she definitely had a significant background!'

'Stop talking nonsense. When we were chatting earlier, didn't you say she was just a poor intern?'

'Uh, well...'

'Truly, ambition is not limited by age.'

'After this young CEO Shen finishes speaking, we must get closer to her and learn from her.'

'Let's go together...'

Everyone's faces were etched with surprise!

They seemed unable to believe that the person leading a company that had dominated the sales charts with three consecutive games, and whose latest game had created a myth of daily sales for mini-games, was actually a young woman?!

Wonderful!

Standing on the stage, Shen Miaomiao could clearly see the expressions of most people in the audience.

It was truly spectacular.

There was surprise, bewilderment, regret, and even envy and jealousy!

No one could refuse a successful moment of showing off.

Shen Miaomiao was no exception.

Although outwardly, she was still speaking methodically according to her prepared script.

In her heart, however, she was bursting with joy!

Woohoo! This feels so awesome!!!

If she had laughed on stage right then, her mouth would have probably split all the way to the back of her head!

She stole a glance at Gu Sheng's seat.

She found that Gu Sheng was also looking at her.

Their eyes met, and Gu Sheng raised an eyebrow, as if to say: How was it? Did I give these people a little Golden Wind shock?

Shen Miaomiao almost couldn't keep her composure.

She realized more and more that Gu Sheng was truly sly.

In his mind, there seemed to be countless ways to be mischievous and perfectly mess with people's heads.

But perhaps it was precisely because of this.

That he could create games like Mario Bros.

"...And finally, on behalf of Golden Wind, I extend our sincere thanks to the Yiyou Game Platform."

"Furthermore, in the future, Golden Wind will uphold the spirit of bold exploration and strive to develop more games."

"Together with all our industry peers, we will contribute to the development of our country's gaming industry!"

Shen Miaomiao's final words were from the heart.

Always upholding the spirit of exploration meant turning their gaze towards more niche game genres!

Striving to develop more games meant investing as much as possible, launching many projects, and incurring substantial losses!

As for 'contributing to the development of our country's gaming industry'!

It wasn't wrong either!

This young lady was stomping all over the major pitfalls in the market!

Directly transforming into a human mine-sweeper, clearing all the mines for everyone, wasn't that contributing to the gaming industry!

Shen Miaomiao was very satisfied with her speech.

She bowed and stepped down, receiving waves of applause from the audience.

Even Yan Sheng, who had come on stage with her, praised her greatly!

"Thank you for your speech, CEO Shen."

"I believe this speech is enough to represent the heartfelt feelings of all of us game developers here."

"Although Golden Wind, like all of you here, is still in its early stages,"

"But to have such determination, such responsibility, and such leadership spirit, I'm sure our country's gaming industry will surely rise..."

On stage, Yan Sheng spoke with passionate excitement, a mix of flattery and genuine admiration, his words resonating and deafening.

In the audience, Shen Miaomiao repeatedly wiped sweat from her brow, feeling a mix of unease and shame, as if a needle were on her back, making her want to leave immediately.

"You look hot?"

Beside her, Gu Sheng looked at Shen Miaomiao, whose face was flushed, with a confused expression.

Shen Miaomiao grinned.

This isn't a fever; it's my guilty conscience, being tormented on a blazing, sincere flame.

"I was talking about the city gate tower, and he was talking about his hip joint."

Sorry, CEO Yan, for disappointing you.

I'm not the leading sheep.

At best, I'm a rice-serving bucket... or maybe even a shit-stirring stick.

"I... I'm excited."

Shen Miaomiao's throat bobbed as she spoke uncomfortably.

"You'll get used to it."

Gu Sheng didn't suspect anything and waved his hand, signaling Shen Miaomiao to relax.

"Tch—as if you've been to many of these events."

Shen Miaomiao pouted in disbelief, thinking Gu Sheng was putting on an act.

Gu Sheng opened his mouth, wanting to say, You guessed right, I've attended countless events like this.

He had attended the Dark Souls launch event, arranged the Sekiro press conference, handled the marketing for For Honor's Chinese warriors, and hosted the Sea of Thieves gameplay demonstration.

However, in the next second, he immediately realized this was no longer his past life.

He showed an ambiguous smile, shrugged, and offered no rebuttal.

He turned his gaze back to the stage.

At this moment, Yan Sheng had finished his summary.

Clearing his throat, he began:

"As everyone knows, this event is mainly to promote exchange among our manufacturers. The opening shouldn't be too long."

"So, next, we have the final segment of our opening ceremony, and also the most important one!"

Saying that!

Yan Sheng opened the manuscript in front of him, his expression solemn:

"Now, please welcome the Golden Wind Game Director, the recipient of this Development Festival's Supernova Designer award, the lead designer of the phenomenal game 'Vampire Survivors' that broke multiple sales records on the Yiyou platform—"

"Mr. Gu Sheng!"

"To take the stage to give a speech and officially announce the start of the exchange event!!!"

Following Yan Sheng's lengthy introduction, comparable to Daenerys Targaryen's titles!

There was a brief moment of silence in the venue, about half a second!

Then, it erupted!!!

BOOM—!!!

The main guest has arrived!

You must know!

Ever since Gu Sheng became the Game Director at Golden Wind and his three games all hit number one, the gaming industry's curiosity about this rising designer had reached its peak!

And today, besides exchanging experiences and learning from each other, a significant reason for everyone attending this exchange event was to catch a glimpse of Director Gu's charisma!

Competitors wanted to see what kind of person could break away from the mold in a sea of similar game genres.

Not only did he carve out a path for himself, but he also created a phenomenal game!

For a large portion of the developer representatives, just seeing Gu Sheng once at this event would make the trip worthwhile!

Instantly!

The event venue became restless, with people craning their necks to get a look.

The media were even more dramatic!

All the media cameras were raised, flashes firing incessantly, the click-click sound echoing non-stop!

Amidst the intense attention!

Gu Sheng calmly walked onto the red carpet stage, waving to the media below as he approached the podium.

He unhurriedly stepped behind the podium and adjusted the microphone slightly.

Once the murmurs of the entire audience quieted down, he slowly began:

"Thank you, CEO Yan, esteemed members of the media, fellow industry colleagues, and all players. Good morning."

"I am the Game Director of Golden Wind Game Technology Co., Ltd."

"Gu Sheng."
