Becoming the richest man by playing games that help cure depression

After a long pause, President Zheng took a deep breath, barely suppressing the urge to attack, and pointed at Xiang Dahai's nose, gritting his teeth:

"Let me tell you, Xiang Dahai, Zhiyou was able to open Sun Bin because they could salvage their reputation through operations, but you can't."

I'm giving you two options: either we go through legal proceedings, and I sue you until you're bankrupt and drag the whole thing out of you, until you're completely ruined.

Either you use any method to break Zhiyou's blockade, even if you have to kneel, you have to kneel back! Two paths, choose for yourself!

After saying that, Mr. Zheng had no strength left and slumped into the boss's chair, remaining silent.

The office atmosphere was so oppressive it was suffocating. Xiang Dahai's mind was buzzing and completely blank.

He had planned everything meticulously, but he never expected those livestreamers to suddenly step forward, and he certainly didn't expect that Li Zhujian could attract more than 80% of the visitors to queue up and experience his product at that remote booth.

Locking down Li Zhujian? Looking back now, it's a complete joke.

Xiang Dahai smiled despairingly, closed his eyes, and thought that his life was completely over.

Little did he know that the fatal blow targeting him and Xiang Tianming was yet to come.

Zhiyou was in complete chaos, and Mingye was struggling on the edge of death.

Two guys who once joined forces against Li Zhujian, one was permanently banned, and the other is now in dire straits.

And the one who turned the tables on everything, Li Zhujian, was casually leaning back in the taxi seat.

Sitting next to her was Shen Yunshi, the most beautiful girl in the Fine Arts Department of Binhai College. The two were on their way to the Pingjin Shark Live Streaming Platform branch.

I made an appointment with A-Yin and the others this morning to have a video conference tonight to discuss the collaborative keyboard.

"Hey Hashirama, look at this!" Shen Yunshi saw Zhiyou's announcement and quickly handed over her phone.

Li Zhujie glanced at the phone, grinned, and nonchalantly handed it back:

"Hey, what's the big deal? I knew they'd do this. That kid Sun Bin should have known this day would come when he hooked up with Xiang Tianming's dad."

"Mmm," Shen Yunshi nodded, her eyes full of admiration.

"But if your game isn't fun, and without Sister Liu and the others coming to help, they might succeed."

"Haha, that's true!" Li Zhujian scratched his head, grinning smugly.

"The root of players' anger is that they have been accumulating anger for too long with nowhere to vent it."

They didn't know if this kind of thing had happened before, or how many times it had happened, but this time it just happened because of my situation that it completely erupted.

Look at the current state of the gaming industry...

He was engrossed in analyzing things on his fingers, completely unaware that Shen Yunshi was pouting and muttering under her breath:

"I was praising your talent, you idiot..."

Li Zhujian thought she was talking to him about the gaming world, and he got more and more excited as he talked, completely unaware of the girl's true intentions.

Shen Yunshi secretly rubbed her forehead, thinking to herself: This guy is such a hopeless straight man. He's just a small-time artist, what does he know about the gaming world?

Not long after, the two arrived at the Pingjin Binhai Building, where Shark Live's branch office was located on the seventeenth floor.

As soon as the elevator doors opened, a receptionist was waiting at the entrance.

"Mr. Li Zhujian, Ms. Shen Yunshi, hello. Supervisor Ning is already waiting for you in the conference room. This way, please."

The receptionist led the two to the meeting room door, knocked, and then opened it.

There were five people inside, the leader being a thin, rimless-glasses-wearing, refined-looking man.

It was Ning Hang, the supervisor; the four people next to him were all old acquaintances—A Yin, his cousin, Shi Liuliu, and Dai Xiaomei.

"Hashirama, Shishi, you've finally arrived!" The group waved to each other.

"Haha, the game expo just closed up, I'm late!"

Li Zhujian greeted Ning Hang casually and sat down directly opposite him.

After all, he is the game's lead designer and the guest of honor today.

Shen Yunshi was pulled to Shi Liuliu's side, and the two whispered intimately together.

Once everyone had arrived, Ning Hang connected to the video call. A middle-aged man appeared on the screen; he was clearly a senior executive at Shark's headquarters, holding a higher position than Ning Hang.

"Mr. Lu, we can begin."

"Okay, let's begin." Mr. Lu nodded in the video.

Ning Hang cleared his throat and said, "Welcome Mr. Li Zhujian, chief designer of PlatinumGames, and Ms. Shen Yunshi, chief concept artist of this game."

As applause erupted, Li Zhujian and Shen Yunshi stood up and bowed slightly in greeting.

The discussion about the collaboration keyboard based on "A Dance of Ice and Fire" began in a harmonious atmosphere.

After hanging up the video call, Ning Hang smiled and said to Li Zhujian, "Mr. Zhujian, President Lu's meaning represents the headquarters' intention."

All four of us, the livestreamers, are very supportive of this collaboration.

After all, the game "A Dance of Ice and Fire" is impeccable in terms of both gameplay and unique features.

So you see, the plan we discussed before…”

Li Zhujian glanced at Ning Hang, then scanned the room with everyone present, and stroked his chin:

"I have no objection to the plan; I was the one who proposed this joint petition in the first place. But..."

His tone suddenly changed, and Ning Hang's heart skipped a beat.

The process, funding ratio, and other details of the joint keyboard project have all been agreed upon. Now that you're suddenly saying "but," does that mean you're going to change your mind at the last minute?

Shen Yunshi, who was standing next to her, was also getting anxious. Li Zhujian had told her about the expected situation before they came.

Shark's sincerity this time not only met expectations but also exceeded them: they covered 80% of the cost and authorized four top streamers to sign and co-sign the product.

The number of prizes was increased from two hundred to four hundred, and even the highly reputable manufacturer of Cherry MX switches, Wamillon, was contacted by Shark.

The only requirement is that the keyboard has a shark logo and that Li Zhujian cooperates in the promotion. It seems like a sure-fire deal, so why is he adding conditions?

The atmosphere in the meeting room instantly became tense. Ning Hang pursed his lips and tentatively asked:

"Mr. Hashirama, what do you mean?"

The next second, Li Zhujian shrugged, scratched the back of his head, and looked embarrassed:

"It's nothing, just please don't call me 'Mr. Hashirama' or 'Chief Designer'."

"That sounds weird, like I have some kind of health problem." As she spoke, she winked at Ning Hang.

There was a half-second silence in the meeting room, followed by bursts of suppressed laughter. Ah Yin was the first to break down, covering his mouth and convulsing.

My cousin turned around and pretended to cough, but his shoulders kept shaking; Shi Liuliu and Dai Xiaomei blushed and covered their mouths, trying to stifle their coughs.

Ning Hang pinched his thigh, barely managing to suppress his laughter, while inwardly cursing Li Zhujian eight hundred times over.

So it wasn't a change of heart, but just for this?

From now on, whenever I hear the words "chief designer," I'll probably remember this kid's nonsense!

Only Shen Yunshi looked blank, tugged at Shi Liuliu's sleeve, and whispered:

"Sister Liu Liu, is there a problem with the 'General Design'?"

Shi Liuliu lay on the table, her shoulders shaking, waving her hands:

"No...it's nothing, don't ask, it's nothing serious."

The naive girl leaned closer and added with a mischievous grin:

"I wonder if Hashirama-nii is in good health?"

Upon hearing this, Shi Liuli laughed even harder, almost crawling under the table.

He mumbled indistinctly, "Don't talk nonsense...shut up!"
