"…That day, CEO Yan hadn't even reached the front desk before he was already bowing, a ridiculously exaggerated smile on his face!"

Zhongjing.

Yiyou Technology Co., Ltd.

Song Jie was training the newly hired receptionist, Xiao Ling:

"Think about it, if the boss himself is acting like that, and I had given that little lady a cold shoulder, wouldn't I be in deep trouble?"

Song Jie said earnestly:

"So, no matter the time, no matter how old the client is,"

"Even if it's just a child, you have to greet them warmly,"

"After all, we are the face of the company,"

"And you never know the influence the client might have behind them."

After she finished speaking.

Xiao Ling nodded, "I understand, Foreman Song."

"Keep up the good work. I was recognized by the company for successfully receiving a client just like this, and that's how I became a foreman,"

As she spoke, Song Jie reached out and adjusted Xiao Ling's silk scarf:

"As long as you treat every visitor with care, you can do it too."

Just then!

Ding dong—

A crisp sound came from the direction of the elevator lobby.

Song Jie and Xiao Ling looked up and saw the elevator stopping on their floor.

Immediately after, the elevator doors slowly opened.

A girl with a lollipop and a bun walked out.

Behind her followed a mature and elegant secretary.

The next second!

Song Jie, who had just sat down, sprang to her feet!

Holy crap, did I just jinx it? Speak of the devil and she appears?!

At the same time, she patted Xiao Ling, who was a beat behind, and lowered her voice, "Get up quickly!"

"Huh? Oh!"

Xiao Ling didn't dare to delay and quickly stood up with her foreman.

She turned to ask the foreman with her eyes who it was, but saw that Song Jie had already walked around the front desk to greet them!

"Hello, CEO Shen, welcome. We apologize for not meeting you sooner,"

Song Jie smiled like a blooming peony, dignified and radiant:

"Are you looking for CEO Yan? Please wait a moment while I report it, two minutes."

That's right!

The visitor was none other than Shen Miaomiao and her top secretary, Chu Qingzhou!

If Song Jie didn't recognize anyone else, she certainly recognized this young lady!

Without missing a beat!

After properly escorting the young lady to the lounge area to wait, Song Jie circled back to the front desk to call the secretarial department.

Beside her, Xiao Ling asked nervously in a small voice, "Foreman, who… who is that?"

"Who was I just telling you about?" Song Jie raised an eyebrow at Xiao Ling.

Hiss.

Xiao Ling couldn't help but gasp, "The one who made our CEO Yan act like a grandson?"

"Tsk, don't talk nonsense," Song Jie glared at Xiao Ling reproachfully, "Why do you say everything that comes to mind…"

As she spoke, the call to the secretarial department was connected.

Song Jie switched to a professional tone and said, "Hello, Secretary Li, CEO Shen from Golden Wind is here. Please inform CEO Yan."

"Again?!?!"

At the same time.

In the CEO's office, Yan Sheng grabbed his suit jacket and exclaimed, "What is it this time? What's her expression like? Why does this scene feel so familiar???"

Seeing his boss like this, Secretary Li felt like laughing but dared not.

CEO Yan is such a capable person. When he took down the Old Guard Faction, there was no hesitation, just a swift and clean cut!

His presence was awe-inspiring, his reputation shook the heavens!

For days, no one in the entire company dared to even take a deep breath!

Yet now, he's been scared into this state by a young girl in her early twenties, flustered and anxious, afraid of offending her.

The contrast is truly amusing, even a little endearing.

"It's alright, you don't need to rush. According to the front desk, CEO Shen seems to be in a good mood this time and isn't being aggressive," Secretary Li said.

"Oh, oh," Yan Sheng breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good, that's good..."

He welcomed Shen Miaomiao into his office once more!

They both took their seats.

Yan Sheng offered a teacup to Shen Miaomiao, "CEO Shen, you didn't give me any advance notice. I could have sent someone to pick you up at the station."

"It's fine," Shen Miaomiao accepted the hot tea and thanked him. "Zhongjing has convenient transportation, it wasn't difficult to get here."

"Yes, yes," Yan Sheng smiled and tentatively asked, "Why has CEO Shen graced us with her presence this time...?"

He was a bit clueless about the situation. Shen Miaomiao's visits were always surprise attacks, leaving him no room for preparation, forcing him to answer questions as they came.

"It's like this," Shen Miaomiao wasn't one to beat around the bush and got straight to the point. "Recently, our Golden Wind has been considering moving into the motion simulator cabin market. What do you think, CEO Yan?"

Motion simulator cabins?!

Hearing this, Yan Sheng was stunned, and then his brow furrowed. As a seasoned company leader, he immediately felt something was amiss. He knew very well the current scale of Golden Wind. By the end of this month, Golden Wind's total revenue would only be around three million. After deducting various expenses and essential retained funds, the disposable capital would be around two million. Generating two million in liquid funds per quarter was a miracle for any fledgling game company, a truly profitable venture. But for the motion simulator cabin market...

"I think... it might be a bit risky," Yan Sheng said seriously.

Shen Miaomiao nodded inwardly. She could tell Yan Sheng was a good person. He genuinely wanted to support Golden Wind, which was why he gave such a negative assessment. Anyone else would have just waved it off, saying "Let's do it!" Why wouldn't they take advantage of someone willing to be the fool? As for whether you sink or swim, what business is it of theirs? Yiyou Platform had hundreds of game companies under it! Adding one more or losing one wouldn't make a difference; it was just a small game company, and if it failed, it failed. It would be its own downfall anyway.

Thinking this, Shen Miaomiao couldn't help but apologize inwardly to Yan Sheng: Sorry, CEO Yan, I know you mean well, and I'm not an idiot. But to achieve financial freedom early and fulfill my dream of traveling the world until I grow old, I have to pretend to be a rich patron. Please bear with me.

Having said that in her heart!

Shen Miaomiao frowned slightly and looked at Yan Sheng, "Risky? Does CEO Yan think our Golden Wind doesn't have the financial capacity?"

Uh... yes, why else? Yan Sheng blinked, a little bewildered.

Two million in liquid capital, and you think you can go head-to-head with the big players?

But then I thought about it again!

Oh, right—

They have Shen's Capital backing them, so what's a little money?

Makes sense, makes sense.

"I understand, mm-hmm,"

Thinking this, Yan Sheng nodded:

"If that's the case, then I believe your company has great potential!"

Just kidding.

With Shen's Capital supporting them from behind, and a Supernova Designer like Gu Sheng leading the way.

It's true that Young CEO Shen has the capital to enter the motion simulator cabin market.

"Hey—I like hearing that."

Shen Miaomiao nodded with satisfaction, then asked:

"From what I understand, Yiyou also has its own motion simulator cabin, called Yiyou x1, right?"

"My main reason for coming today is to discuss the equipment listing fee for this Yiyou x1 with CEO Yan."

"Oh, CEO Shen, you don't need to worry about that,"

Yan Sheng waved his hand:

"Our Yiyou x1 listing fee has a definite price advantage compared to other motion simulator cabin brands,"

"And, given our current relationship, I, as the company's president, can offer your company a discount."

Yan Sheng was a straightforward person.

Seeing that Shen Miaomiao was determined to push into the motion simulator cabin market.

He didn't hold back, directly stating his bottom line, prioritizing sincerity and a quick resolution.

"Our listing fee per game is seventy thousand yuan, payable in a lump sum,"

"The game revenue sharing ratio is the same as the platform, 20%,"

At this point, Yan Sheng's tone shifted:

"Of course, if CEO Shen is truly interested in listing on our Yiyou x1,"

"I can also use a special presidential approval to give you a 15% discount on the listing fee, bringing it to fifty-nine thousand,"

"Additionally, regarding the revenue sharing ratio, I can apply to the head office to concede one or two percentage points."

Yan Sheng spoke very sincerely, laying all his cards on the table.

However!

Shen Miaomiao frowned!

"That's it???"
