Since we are both reborn, of course I would choose the rich woman!

Chapter 312 Surpassing League of Legends! (6k views, please subscribe)

Cheng Xinyu is not only beautiful and has a great figure, but more importantly, she has high emotional intelligence, excellent management skills, and even a remarkable talent for business acumen.

So when she was suddenly arranged by Lü Yao to win the prize through "insider information," while Zhou Bella was still in a daze, Cheng Xinyu had already figured out how to deal with the "prize" that Lü Yao had suddenly given her.

She claimed that the handling of the prizes was something Lü Yao had discussed with her beforehand, and then she converted the prizes into cash and distributed them equally among everyone.

People are always more concerned about inequality than scarcity.

If everyone is poor and doing well, then there won't be any problems at all.

But if a motivated person suddenly appears among a group of people who are just going through the motions, and that motivated person also achieves commensurate success, then the atmosphere will change.

Cheng Xinyu knew all too well the intricacies of the situation, so her approach was more sophisticated than Gao Chuning's: she distributed the money to everyone "in Lü Yao's name."

Cheng Xinyu's decision immediately drew cheers from everyone, who were all happy for her decision.

Amidst everyone's joy, tonight's party was a great success.

Lu Yao went to the lounge next to the banquet hall and asked his assistant to bring him some clothes to change into.

The end of the banquet hall was left to others.

Because there were many girls from the MCN, after Lü Yao left the banquet hall, these girls from the MCN gathered in groups of three or five. Some were discussing the methods that Gao Chuning and Cheng Xinyu used; others were discussing Lü Yao's talent show that night.

Lü Yao's talent show was the most prominent.

Unfortunately, all the phones and cameras at their party tonight had to be handed in. This is a requirement for all the gatherings of Lü Yao's companies; it has become a "standard procedure" for their company.

Lu Yao has seen far too many cases where, after videos of private dinners were leaked, individuals or companies plummeted to rock bottom and were never able to recover.

The internet age is more dangerous than any previous era.

Even in private settings, information control must be strictly enforced, especially for a company like Lü Yao's. If someone with ulterior motives were to target them, many things within the company could cause a huge uproar in the outside world.

Just last year, a very famous "Feast at Hongmen" was exposed online.

After that incident, many celebrities, large companies, and large groups began to pay special attention to information confidentiality. Even ten years later, the matter of a certain song and dance troupe remained shrouded in mystery and could not be clearly seen.

Lu Yao didn't know if he could be that good at keeping information confidential, but he always strived for excellence in this area.

So no matter how much the employees regret it or how unwilling they are, that's just the rule.

If you really disagree, then give the expenses of the party in cash to those who are unwilling to follow the rules.

but.

Those who don't come will definitely lose out.

Amidst the sighs of regret in the banquet hall, Cheng Xinyu found Gao Chuning.

Gao Chuning was still chatting with Xiao Tuantuan, completely immersed in Lu Yao's talent show. While reminiscing, she said to Xiao Tuantuan, "You need to be faster in the future," "Our boss's net worth is getting more and more expensive," and "Opportunities don't come twice."

As a newcomer, Xiao Tuantuan had only been with Lv Yao MCN Company for a short time, but the company's extravagance kept exceeding her expectations.

So Xiao Tuantuan always acted like a new elementary school student.

When Gao Chuning saw Cheng Xinyu approaching, she greeted her happily, "Xinyu, you're here!"

Cheng Xinyu smiled and continued to approach Gao Chuning at a leisurely pace. When she was not far in front of Gao Chuning, she suddenly raised her hand and gave Gao Chuning a sharp rap on the head.

"Boom!"

Just from the crisp sound of the tap on the head, you could tell that Cheng Xinyu had really used force.

Gao Chuning, with her fiery temper, immediately exploded: "What are you doing!"

This attracted the attention of many people around, but once they saw that the main characters in the commotion were Cheng Xinyu and Gao Chuning, many people quietly looked away.

What a joke!
One of them is a member of the management team at an MCN company and has a high reputation among the employees; the other is tonight's top salesperson. Nobody should mess with either of them.

Gao Chuning had just finished throwing a tantrum when she met Cheng Xinyu's cold and calm gaze. Her temper immediately cooled down, and she scratched her head and pouted, saying, "Why did you hit someone on the head right away?"

At this moment, Xiao Tuantuan quietly distanced herself from Gao Chuning, fearing that she would be affected by Lady Cheng Xinyu.

Cheng Xinyu said calmly but with a sense of pressure, "Don't you want to reflect on your behavior tonight? What is our boss's status and position now? After you stirred things up like that, how can he save face?"

Gao Chuning was scolded by Cheng Xinyu like a primary school student.

Add to that her JK uniform outfit tonight, and Cheng Xinyu's sophisticated teacher-style attire, and if girls who like to fantasize about lesbian romance saw that scene, they'd probably already have eight hundred short essays ready to describe the plot.

After delivering a scathing lecture, Cheng Xinyu asked, "Do you know where you went wrong?"

Gao Chuning pouted, unwilling but not daring to disobey, and said, "Okay."

Seeing Gao Chuning's listless state, Cheng Xin's tone became harsh. She raised her hand and pinched Gao Chuning's chubby cheek: "You! If you do it again next time, I won't be so nice to you."

Unexpectedly, Gao Chuning, whose cheeks were being pinched, suddenly opened her arms and hugged Cheng Xinyu: "Then how are you going to punish me~~"

As she spoke, she twisted her body with a mischievous yet expectant smile.

Cheng Xinyu's lips twitched, wondering what was wrong with this little girl?

"Don't even try! I'm busy now."

After saying that, Cheng Xinyu shook off Gao Chuning and turned to leave. A few steps later, she was stopped by Zhou Bella.

Upon seeing Zhou Bella, Cheng Xinyu's smile immediately brightened: "Bella, what's wrong?"

After a moment of hesitation, Zhou Bella asked hesitantly, "Sister Xinyu, when you go to cash out that prize, tell me how much it costs and I'll transfer the money to you directly. I want to keep this necklace."

Cheng Xinyu was taken aback for a moment, then said with a smile, "Oh~ you can keep it if you want, you don't need to transfer money to me."

Zhou Bella was a little anxious, but Cheng Xinyu raised her hand, grabbed Zhou Bella's hand, and smiled, "Okay, it's settled then."

After finishing her sentence, Cheng Xinyu bypassed Zhou Bella and went about her business.

In another corner of the banquet hall, Li Qiuwen was chatting with several people. Among them were several internet celebrities who had achieved good results in Lu Yao's MCN company. One of the internet celebrities was a couple who gradually became popular online by sharing their lives as parents.

When they first started to gain popularity, they heard about the reputation of Lvyao MCN Agency and took the initiative to sign with them, hoping to achieve longer-term and more standardized development.

Under the planning of Lü Yao's MCN agency, the number of fans, monetization ability, income level, business contacts and even their own business skills of this internet celebrity couple have been greatly improved.

just now.

This internet celebrity couple boasts over five million followers across the internet and generates over one million yuan in revenue each month, making them top-tier internet celebrities within Lv Yao's MCN company.

Although Cheng Xinyu and Lü Yao have high hopes for Li Qiuwen, her time has not yet come.

In the early days of internet short video e-commerce, the sales methods were almost no different from those of TV program e-commerce a decade or so ago. In other words, it was like the early TV e-commerce people starting a second business, with sales relying entirely on shouting, pressuring for orders, and fabricating data.

Many livestreamers essentially earn money from both ends.

It wasn't until three years later that people gradually grew tired of this kind of shouting-style live-streaming sales and began to favor live-streaming rooms like Alimu, Uncle Mo, and Zhenxuan, which offered more refined products and provided genuine value or emotional appeal.

So although Li Qiuwen has achieved some success, she is still several levels behind the internet celebrity couple whose online name is "Wife Loves Chocolate".

Li Qiuwen is very proud.

Originally, her circle should have been among the contracted live streamers in the sub-million-dollar category, but Li Qiuwen was also valued by Cheng Xinyu and Lü Yao, and was even received by Lü Yao a few times, so the "sisters" in that circle were talking in a somewhat noisy and grating way.

High expectations coupled with relatively low achievements have left Li Qiuwen in an awkward position and role within Lvyao MCN.

Cheng Xinyu was busy at the time and had no time to pay attention to Li Qiuwen.

Fortunately, at this moment, the internet celebrity couple called Li Qiuwen over.

This group of people speaks in a much more pleasant and agreeable way.

They didn't look down on Li Qiuwen at all because her expectations and results didn't match. They all spoke very nicely, had interesting personalities, and got along very well with each other.

This caused Li Qiuwen's heart to flutter.

really.

In interpersonal relationships, it's best to associate with people at a higher level. People at a higher level not only don't look down on others, but they also value a person's potential.

This is what Li Qiuwen thought.

As they chatted, the man named Yao Xinjie from the internet celebrity couple suddenly said, "Qiuwen, you've been with our company for so long, haven't you noticed anything?"

Li Qiuwen suddenly froze: "Huh?"

As they spoke, Yao Xinjie and his wife Chen Xiaoyu sat down on either side of Li Qiuwen and whispered in her ear in the noisy banquet hall, "You didn't know? No way!"

Such gossipy remarks are very likely to arouse people's curiosity.

Chatting traps can be even more seductive than half-finished conversations, especially in relaxed and enjoyable banquet settings where it's easy to be led astray by such tactics without being on guard.

After all, enjoying watching a spectacle is part of human nature.

So Li Qiuwen immediately became interested: "What are you talking about? What do you mean I don't know?" Yao Xinjie gave her a "How can you be so naive" look, and then said: "Who are the internet celebrities in our company with around ten million views across the entire network?"

Li Qiuwen thought for a moment and said, "Xinyu is one, Chu Ning is one, Bella is one, and Xiao Tuantuan is also a good candidate to make it, as are Xiao Jiaxin, Biluo and Xiao Paofu. In addition, there are those game streamers."

Yao Xinjie's wife, Chen Xiaoyu, said with a mischievous expression, "Haven't you noticed? Besides those few in the gaming circle, the more popular female internet celebrities all have many ambiguous relationships with our CEO, Mr. Lü."

"what?"

Li Qiuwen was a little surprised when she heard this.

But upon closer inspection, it doesn't seem particularly surprising; such things are perfectly normal in the entertainment and online celebrity circles.

Faces, some alluring, some innocent, some aloof, flashed through Li Qiuwen's mind. Then, those faces suddenly settled on Gao Chuning's face, followed by Gao Chuning's panel data, which was practically at a kindergarten level.

Li Qiuwen immediately shook her head, and asked somewhat bewilderedly, "Chu Ning too?"

The expressions on the faces of the internet celebrity couple Yao Xinjie and Chen Xiaoyu froze instantly, and then they forced smiles: "Gao Chuning probably has nothing to do with the boss, but let me tell you, the other women definitely have something going on with the boss."

Although Li Qiuwen usually enjoys reading gossip, this gossip involved her own boss, and isn't this kind of thing very common in various fields these days?

Since her boss respected her and never had any inappropriate thoughts, Li Qiuwen didn't really want to talk about that topic.

Li Qiuwen changed the subject, saying, "Alright, alright, let's not talk about such unfounded rumors."

Yao Xinjie and Chen Xiaoyu exchanged a glance, and then Yao Xinjie laughed and said, "As expected, you've only been in the workforce for a short time. Your thinking is so naive. Did you think we were just telling you this to gossip?"

Li Qiuwen suddenly realized what was going on and understood.

Yao Xinjie continued, "In our company, individual effort is certainly important, but with so many promising signed artists, why are only a few able to stand at the top? Are they not good-looking enough? Are they not interesting enough? Are they just unlucky?"

Chen Xiaoyu added, "Personal effort and talent are certainly important, but what's that saying now? If you're standing in the right place at the right time, even a pig can fly."

"In our company, General Manager Lü is like a trendsetter; he can make anyone soar if he wants them to."

When Li Qiuwen heard this, her mind started to go numb, to the point that Yao Xinjie's voice sounded distant and hollow.
"I heard that General Manager Lü has contacted you several times."

"This is already a very obvious signal, but I bet you didn't understand it..."

"You're still so lukewarm, don't you understand where the problem lies?"

"Actually, he's not at a disadvantage. Mr. Lü is so young and promising, not some old geezer, and he's so talented..."

Perhaps it was the noise at the end of the banquet, or perhaps the alcohol she had drunk that night had a bit of an effect, but in any case, Li Qiuwen's head was spinning. She couldn't remember what the first couple of internet celebrities said, nor could she remember what the couple in the middle said, or even what the couple at the end said...

Later, one thought kept swirling in Li Qiuwen's mind:
"You have to make sacrifices to achieve something."

"We need to ride the wave of Mr. Lü's success..."

Li Qiuwen remained in a daze until the end of tonight's party.

As Li Qiuwen left the hotel lobby, she noticed Cheng Xinyu and Zhou Bella surrounding Lü Yao. For some reason, the scene of the three of them chatting and interacting by the parking lot outside the hotel suddenly seemed very ambiguous to Li Qiuwen.

Upon closer inspection, Li Qiuwen suddenly noticed that Cheng Xinyu and Zhou Bella's gazes towards Lü Yao were filled with... ambiguity and allure.

That's not how superiors and subordinates should behave at all.

It seems that the internet celebrity couple Yao Xinjie and Chen Xiaoyu were right.

Then Li Qiuwen recalled the scene in the banquet hall after Lü Yao finished his talent show, where Zhou Bella and Cheng Xinyu helped him tidy his clothes and wipe away his sweat and champagne... Although no one likes sycophants, the boss does.

Moreover, at that time, Cheng Xinyu and Zhou Bella were not competitive and their hearts were only for Lü Yao. Under such circumstances, it was normal for Lü to favor them.

As for Cheng Xinyu's later statement that "we had already discussed and agreed to give everyone the cash back," this was simply a display of Cheng Xinyu's high emotional intelligence.

and so……

Had General Manager Lü already hinted at this to me? Or was it that I simply hadn't grasped the underlying message?

Yes.

Mr. Lü is already such a big boss, how could he possibly use force? He probably wouldn't even express overly obvious hints. What he needs is a sensible person, someone who understands on their own and then takes action.

but……

Li Qiuwen was conflicted.

She had only recently graduated, and her conscience and morals wouldn't allow her to do something so despicable, even if she wanted to build a career of her own!

"I will succeed, but not in this way."

Li Qiuwen made up her mind and quickly left from the hotel entrance.

……

Early June passed quickly, and after the mid-year gala, everyone, their morale boosted, threw themselves into their work with even greater enthusiasm.

In particular, the PUBG game development team planned to launch the "search, attack, and retreat" treasure-hunting gameplay after June 17th. Therefore, after the college entrance examination on June 10th, the PUBG development team began to promote the new gameplay across the entire network and the country.

They've invested 70% of the profits from the launch of "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" into promoting new modes and gameplay.

Advertisements for the "PUBG" treasure-hunting gameplay are everywhere, on major online platforms, game recommendation channels, internet cafes across the country, and even in the stairwells of many residential buildings, subways, and buses.

The PUBG development team has gone all in, risking everything.

Under the leadership and suggestion of Zhang Jingwen, the project team leader, they simply used their year-end bonuses as promotional funds and poured them all into promoting the new gameplay.

Zhang Jingwen even made a bold statement: "If we succeed this time, I'll forgo my year-end bonus and give it all to the brothers in the project team! Let everyone get double the year-end bonus!"

With such a boost in morale, everyone on the PUBG team was really eager to get started.

The "Search, Strike, and Withdraw" game's promotional materials caught Tencent and other copycat game companies off guard as soon as they were released.

After they learned about the rules of the game, they were all even more confused.

Aside from the same skin, isn't this just a completely remade game?
The weapon stats, hero balance, drop rates at various locations, and the impact of battles between different teams—all these factors significantly influence the gameplay experience.

It can't be done in a short time.

Not to mention that Guangan Network Games Company has specially invested in building a third-party trading platform for this gameplay to protect players' transactions. The trading platform only charges a 0.1% handling fee, and the rest is completely controlled by the players themselves.

Meanwhile, this third-party online trading platform is also connected to a financial security information platform, and all funds connected to the platform are subject to corresponding supervision, further protecting the security of users' electronic assets.

In fact, the latter's main purpose is to prevent illegal activities.

As the domestic economy improves, illegal financial activities are increasing and becoming more sophisticated and difficult to prevent. To eliminate potential risks that could lead to the collapse of third-party trading platforms, Lü Yao approached Rong Nianqing and used her family's connections in the financial sector to get the financial community to vouch for him.

In this way, it will be less likely for outsiders to trip you up.

Even if problems arise in the future, at most we'll just close the door and let our family members figure out how to solve them ourselves.

Otherwise, these money-related trading platforms are really too prone to problems, and many platforms have suddenly disappeared because of similar issues.

In particular, Lü Yao's proposal also offers some positions that can be used for career advancement, so the overall progress of this proposal is quite easy.

This third-party electronic asset trading platform actually existed in China a long time ago, but it was not standardized back then. Now, it is more standardized and its security level is comparable to e-commerce platforms such as Taobao. With Rong Nianqing operating behind the scenes, this platform has been established.

And the power of this platform is immense...

He can make "PUBG Mobile," and even the entire "Guangan" series of games, evergreen in the gaming industry, just like Tencent's "Dungeon Fighter Online," NetEase's "Fantasy Westward Journey" and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms." It will become a more dynamic and secure online financial product.

It may even have a certain impact on games from other manufacturers.

When games in the Light Shore series can offer financial management features, should other games follow suit? If they don't, players' needs won't be met; if they do, they'll face many problems.

Tencent, which has always sought stability, was unwilling to take risks in this area. Even ten years later, it still did not enable the circulation of electronic assets and cash, even though it held the blockbuster game "Delta Force".

Penguins seek stability, but Lü Yao does not.

He's a newcomer to the gaming world, and newcomers are supposed to use unorthodox methods to defeat veterans.

The new model and gameplay, as well as the "real money earning" mode, quickly became a hot topic across the internet, especially among fresh graduates who had just finished the college entrance examination. They were excited when they discovered that they could earn 20 or 30 yuan in just three or four hours by buying and selling items.

If you're lucky enough to land a large order, you can make sixty or seventy, or even over a hundred, in one go!
They were completely captivated!

This isn't a game! This is practically a "great philanthropist"!
As a result, "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" quickly became a hit among college students, and various gold farming studios quickly followed suit. In just one day, the value of the game's currency began to depreciate continuously, and most players' earning efficiency began to decrease.

Then, the items used to synthesize high-level equipment, firearms, and produce high-level bullets began to rise in price.

This forces players to enter maps with higher combat levels to fight in order to obtain the corresponding equipment. The existence of "foot-cutting style", "killer rat style" and "survival style" gameplay makes it much more difficult for "experts" to bring out high-level resources. The game has reached a strange balance in just ten days.

Through the insidious schemes of Lü Yao and the planners of "PUBG", the studio was forced to become a "player" of the game.

This gameplay, in fact, propelled the game to an even higher level of popularity.

By late June, with the surge in popularity of *PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds* following the college entrance exams and the summer student rush, Shunwang's statistics on the number of players in internet cafes showed—

It surpassed League of Legends for the first time.
