He lowered his voice and said:
"Take a look at this."
Xiang Dahai focused his gaze on it.
"Joint Game Expo?"
That was right. The poster Curly handed Xiang Dahai was the recruitment notice for the Game Expo jointly organized by Binhai University and two other universities!
Xiang Dahai truly was a businessman.
He immediately understood what Curly meant.
Two hundred thousand yuan in prize money!
For a company, that might not have been much.
But it was practically free money!
Only...
"It clearly says in the recruitment notice that participants must be current university students."
"We're a game company. We don't qualify."
Xiang Dahai frowned.
But Curly gave a fawning smile and lowered his voice as he spoke into Xiang Dahai's ear:
"Our company doesn't qualify, but your son does."
Hiss!
Xiang Dahai jolted!
Right!
Wasn't his son a student at Binhai University?
Come to think of it, he was even in the same department as Wu Wei—the game design major.
"What are you suggesting?"
Xiang Dahai turned to Curly, his expression turning subtle.
Curly nodded.
"Enter this event under your son's name. First, we get that two hundred thousand for free. Second, wouldn't your son naturally make a name for himself?"
"Whether he takes over your business later or seeks a position at a bigger game company, wouldn't that give him an extra layer of prestige?"
Killing two birds with one stone!
"Still... wouldn't that violate the rules?"
Xiang Dahai remained fairly rational.
If the organizers found out about this...
Not only would Mingye Game's reputation suffer,
his son Xiang Tianming's future could be affected as well.
Hearing that, Curly smiled.
"Whether it follows the rules or not, aren't we the only ones who know?"
Heaven knew, earth knew, they knew.
The rhythm game they were making had been led by Xiang Dahai and the others from the start, and it was still under wraps for the time being.
That meant that as long as they continued developing it in secret and handed the finished product to his son in the end, the organizers would never know they had entered in violation of the rules.
Xiang Dahai weighed the matter from every angle.
Then he made up his mind!
"Fine. We'll do it that way."
After saying that, Xiang Dahai lowered his voice again and told Curly:
"This matter..."
"Must remain absolutely confidential."
Curly understood.
"Hehehe, you brat..."
Xiang Dahai pointed at Curly and laughed.
"Go on."
"Got it!"

"Alright, you don't need to feel so guilty. I'm used to it, really."
Wu Wei did his best to comfort Shen Yunshi, feeling exhausted inside.
Who knew this girl would get so anxious that her eyes reddened and tears threatened to fall?
He spent a long while explaining that he did not mind, only barely managing to comfort Shen Yunshi.
"I'm sorry. This game is really fun, it's just..."
Shen Yunshi trailed off.
"It's pretty torturous, right?"
Wu Wei smiled.
Hearing Wu Wei make fun of himself, Shen Yunshi burst out laughing.
"A little."
After chatting for a while, Shen Yunshi no longer seemed like some untouchable campus goddess. She was very easygoing.
"Honestly, there were several times when I almost threw my computer."
"That's why I added the reminder in the description to please take care of your computer."
Wu Wei smiled.
"But I have to say, I really never expected such a hit game to be designed by students like us."
Shen Yunshi said admiringly.
Wu Wei chuckled.
"You can just say I'm amazing. There's no need to beat around the bush."
Shen Yunshi laughed at Wu Wei's cheekiness.
After chatting a little more, Wu Wei finally found a chance to get to the point.
"I asked Third Brother to arrange this meeting today because I have a favor to ask."
Hearing that, Shen Yunshi's pretty face reddened slightly.
Although Shen Yunshi did not care much for the title of campus belle,
that did not stop her from knowing that many boys had crushes on her.
Having grown up like that, Shen Yunshi was already used to it.
Since middle school, the boys who had found excuses to confess to her could have formed a reinforced company.
And those were only the ones brave enough to tell her how they felt.
There were even more who kept it to themselves.
The first time or two, Shen Yunshi might have felt shy and turned them down tactfully.
But after enough time had passed, she had become indifferent to it all.
Running into a boy confessing to her on the street was as ordinary to Shen Yunshi as drinking water.
Over time, she had developed the ability to reject confessions with a heart as still as water.
But today was a little different.
When faced with Wu Wei's words, Shen Yunshi instinctively assumed that he was about to confess his feelings to her.
Her heart, which should have remained utterly calm, was now rippling with waves.
Even Shen Yunshi herself had not noticed that, when faced with the confession about to come, she was actually a little shy!
"W-what is it?"
Shen Yunshi asked weakly, unconsciously lowering her head.
