The game has started, there are absolutely no bugs this time

Chapter 12 The Dragon King Scolds His Ministers
How can we play a good game with insects like this?

Slaughter them all!

The security guard worked hard today, give him a bonus.

"Gu Wangcai, Gu Fugui...Meng Goudan, Meng Feifei...Starting tomorrow, you all don't have to go to work."

"Yes, what I mean is that you are fired. I have thought it through. This company is very important to me without you."

"Gu Meng! How could you do this? I'm the biological father of your second uncle's adopted son, Gouzi!"

"Gu Meng! I am your xxx's xxx's xxx!"

"Gu Meng! I really hugged you... the fat pigeon raised at home!"

"Gu Meng, Mr. Gu! Don't fire me! How can I survive if I leave the company? No!"

"Gu Meng! You are so heartless, you won't have a good ending!"

Gu Meng glared at the last man and said, "Humph, I've got this in mind. I'm going to return the five million you embezzled. If you don't, you'll go to jail. Just wait for me."

Gu Ritian left all the evidence of his relatives' crimes to Gu Meng in case of any emergency. He would sue all of them.

Everyone was stunned.

Even Wu Mengyou, the president's secretary, who knew that Gu Meng was going to do something big, opened her mouth.

Fully open? So bold?
Won’t this affect the operation of the company?

Wu Mengyou thought about those people's usual behavior and felt relieved again. He thought that there should be no impact, or in other words, only positive impact.

The conference room was quiet, and the employees who were still in their seats exchanged glances, not daring to speak.

As expected of the young Mr. Gu, he was extremely domineering and easily accomplished what the old Mr. Gu had never done.

This is really, Thai pants hot!
I've long been fed up with those people with connections who are just sitting there doing nothing. They have no ability at all and their attitudes are so arrogant. It's really gratifying to see Mr. Gu taking office.

I'm a little scared because I fired so many people at once.

Now the Dragon King has gone berserk. Should we kneel down and shout "Greetings, Dragon King"? Don't attack us if we're on your side...

Gu Meng didn't want to play such an awkward game with them, so he held his chin with one hand and concluded his speech:

"As you can see, there were five heads of the edamame department, and I had to fire five of them. As for the managers of various units, I had to fire six."

"Look at these people. Which one of them is not the company's management? Which one of them is not my uncle, aunt, or distant relative?"

"They're rotten, and my heart is breaking."

"My father handed the edamame over to me, but it turned out like this. I am heartbroken."

"I'm guilty of Maodou, I'm guilty of my father, I'm guilty of the players, I wish I could fire myself!"

Everyone knows that this is not Gu Meng's problem, but a legacy of Gu Ritian. Is this just a veiled criticism of one's own father?

No, this is Mr. Gu expressing that he wants to completely cut off from the previous family workshop model where Maodou relied entirely on the father and son to take the lead in external affairs, while employing incompetent relatives internally!

"I am now becoming increasingly clear on why Edamame has been unable to truly grow despite suppressing so many of its peers over the years."

"The biggest worry for Maodou isn't outside, but inside. If we're a little rotten here, the whole game will be rotten!"

"If you all go bad, our competitors and players everywhere will rise up and make sure Maodou is completely destroyed!"

"Think about it, Maodou has only been around for a few years. Have you forgotten the hard times making art films? Our competitors are still watching us every day!"

"Right now, Maodou is in a precarious situation. This is truly a critical moment for its survival. My father is gone, and I have to take on this responsibility alone. I haven't slept for three days and three nights, and I'm always thinking about what to do."

"After thinking about it, there are only four words——"

Secretary Wu, who was standing next to him, listened to the Dragon King's Jade Voice broadcast while following the procedure that Gu Meng had previously instructed and pressed the PPT remote control.

Four large characters written in a flamboyant style appeared behind Gu Meng.

"Edamame pills!"

"Ah? Are these four words?"

“Is the company going bankrupt?”

"If I had known, I would have run away earlier."

"We are all left over. Without a good resume, it is difficult to find another job."

"Ah, I quite like Mr. Gu, but I didn't expect..."

"Quiet." Gu Meng knocked on the table.

"The company will continue to operate, but it will undergo a complete overhaul."

"This pill is not only the medicine for the difficulties Maodou is facing right now, but also a life-saving medicine for Maodou."

"The only way to save edamame is to kill it, the old edamame of the past, and usher in the new edamame."

"I've already dealt with the people who needed to be dealt with today. From now on, on my side, the capable will be promoted and the mediocre will be demoted."

In fact, there are not many people, only about 200 or so. Maodou itself is not a very large giant company.

A group of old employees were poached when the company was in turmoil, and various big internet celebrities and their teams packed up and left. Just now, Gu Meng fired his relatives and their small groups. All the members of the public relations team should be cut into pieces.

Many of those who remain are interns who have just joined the company, as well as the remaining third-tier female stars in the artist department who cannot afford the sky-high penalty for breach of contract.

As for the photography crew, voiceover team, trainees, and the newly established motion capture studio—even though Gu Meng was personally leading the team—they'd already lost a lot of talent. People always strive for higher positions. I heard that Teacher Bu jumped ship to become a senior partner at a gaming company specializing in the 18+ genre. The heroine in "Pure Love" was also her last work at Maodou.

That’s great. Next time we meet, I can tease her and call her “Bu Boss”.

My predecessor had a very good relationship with Teacher Bu. Teacher was not just a polite title among artists, but a real teacher-student relationship.

After transitioning from short videos to film games, Gu Meng tries to reduce the number of times his face is shown during each shoot to enhance the player experience, and many plots are interpreted purely through voice.

At that time, my predecessor studied very hard with Teacher Bu and stayed at Teacher Bu's house all night every day.

Regardless of whether the title of Maodou Movie Emperor is true or not, he is a good guy with great ambition.

I hope that after I replace him, he will go to another world to become the protagonist.

As for the others, it’s better for them to leave. Gu Meng doesn’t care.

Not to mention that the previous game didn't sell well, it should have been laid off and optimized long ago. Gu Meng doesn't want to make love-focused games anymore, and he doesn't want to go back to making live-action games. There's no need to keep such a large game team.

Now he has a system and his goal is to become a card player in the gaming industry.

He doesn't think much of Maodou's past achievements.

On the contrary, I kind of want to cut off the dark history of all those borderline games like The Crooked Mouth Dragon King, Return of the God of War, Youma Doudi, and Young A Meng.

Those were the projects led by Gu Ritian. If he, Gu Meng, took charge, there would be no mistakes!
I already have a system, so why do I need to rely on wiping? If you want to be a card player in the gaming world, of course you have to rely on gameplay!
He turned the tables on the Pure Love Warrior in this game. Gu Meng had played it before and knew that the gameplay was excellent and there was no edge to it at all.

It’s a good game and should not tarnish the reputation of “God”.

emm...

I just hope that the "easter eggs" left by Meng Juju are not too outrageous.

Putting aside his unfounded worries, Gu Meng continued:

"Because of the legacy issues, our company is probably no longer able to produce the same scale of borderline games as before, so I decided to continue my father's legacy and continue to transform into a formal game company!"

"Also, 'Pure Love Warrior Simulator' might be the last game from the Maodou label."

Gu Meng had long felt that the name Maodou was odd, sounding a bit like some kind of dubious company, so he decided to change it while he could. (Note)
"To show that it is completely different from the edamame we had before, our company will change its name."

Secretary Wu pressed the button on the remote control at the right time, and the background changed to four words.

"Game metaphysics."

"This is the future I promised you. I promise you that Game Metaphysics will become a world-class gaming company and be remembered by all players."

"And you will all be veterans of gaming metaphysics and be proud to work for this company."

"I've finished speaking. Who else wants to speak?"

Gu Meng is now full of vigor and vitality. His whole body seems to be glowing, and there seems to be a strong and domineering aura surging around him.

Even many years later, this scene will be mentioned from time to time by You Xuan, an old employee, and he will never forget it.

Gu Meng also felt that he was very handsome now, even more handsome than when he played the Dragon King in his previous life.

It’s so cool to show off. It’s so cool to show off!
The applause rang out, getting louder and louder, and the atmosphere reached a climax.

But at this moment——

"Report to the boss!"

"what?"

Although I was asking if anyone wanted to speak, did anyone really dare to interrupt?

Can't you see I'm pretending?
Look at the air!
Who is it? Do you also want to dance in a Mazda?

Oh, it’s Wu Mengyou, my trusted little sister.

It is rare to find a tool person who is very capable in the company.

The precious legacy left by Lao Deng is all right.

"What happened?"

"Boss, this is terrible! Our company's new game just released today and it's already trending on the internet."

"what?"

"They say we betrayed all Maodou fans by making the Green Turtle Simulator. Players whose IPs show up in Donghua City have already started calling for a gathering downstairs to denounce us!"

"what?"

"They also accused us of false advertising again. Not only can this game not pick up girls, but it can only be used to pay tribute to villains. The promotional video we made before seems to have had the opposite effect."

"what?"

"It seems like a hidden ending has been revealed. It turns out the heroine is a complete jerk. She has had many boyfriends and made some outlandish remarks. Yet, the hero has no choice but to forgive her, accept reality, and continue to get married."

"what?"

……

　Note: The main reason is that I was censored after writing only a few chapters. I was scared. I was afraid of the war, afraid of being reported, and afraid of the children (referring to the bad kids). I decided to change the name.
