Xiao Nai's mood soured the moment he heard that Wang Yue had another favor to ask!
He felt he couldn't outscheme Wang Yue, but he couldn't exactly refuse him, either. Torn, he asked, "Boss Wang, what are you after?"
Xiao Nai sounded so wary that Wang Yue felt as if he were bullying a woman who was too timid to stand up for herself!
Wang Yue couldn't help shuddering. Could living with Hao Mei for so long have made Xiao Nai act a little strange, too?
Wang Yue decided it would be best to leave as soon as possible, before he caught whatever they had!
So he stopped beating around the bush and stated his purpose plainly.
"We've already signed the contract. You'll need to speed up work on the engine. I really need it for my upcoming projects, so I'll have to trouble you to arrange some overtime."
Xiao Nai hadn't expected that to be the issue, so he nodded. But then he thought about how overtime would cost money. He couldn't keep fishing around with the K3 game he had on his hands; he needed to cash some of it in first!
Xiao Nai didn't want to take a loss just to help Wang Yue, so he immediately laid out his own terms. "Manager Wang, since you've brought this up, I have something I need your help with, too!
"You know about K3, the base-building game our company developed. Zhenyi Technology set its sights on it a while ago.
"They actually offered just three million to buy both our game and our entire team. They're practically bullying us!
"I was planning to negotiate with them for a while, but since you want us to speed up development on the engine, could you help us sort out this problem?"
