Wandering the world of film and television begins with the golden years

The scorching sun beat down on Shanghai.

This is the most intoxicating city of desire in China.

Xujiahui can even be considered the heart of Shanghai, as this place constantly churns up and churns countless sums of money, and continuously welcomes and sends off ambitious people.

Li Haoyu stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows on the top floor of the Xujiahui Center Building.

He looked down at the pedestrians going to work.

Indeed, they are as small as ants.

To be fair, most people standing here for the first time would indeed feel like they are superior to others, with the world at their feet.

The developers who built the building aren't stupid; that's why the rent for the top floor is so ridiculously expensive. But for Li Haoyu now, it's just small change.

After Li Haoyu traveled to the world of "Ode to Joy".

He then realized that he seemed to have arrived two or three years too early.

The main plot has not yet begun.

He had already been to the 22nd floor of the Ode to Joy residential complex. It turned out that not only Qu Xiaoxiao and Andy, but also Guan Juer, Fan Shengmei, and Qiu Yingying did not live in the Ode to Joy residential complex.

Li Haoyu could only leave in disappointment.

However, this also gave Li Haoyu ample time.

He quickly replicated the actions from the TV series "Nothing But Thirty." He released several innovative mini-games on foreign platforms and soon earned his first pot of gold.

Li Haoyu was too lazy to compete with domestic businesses this time.

After all, the domestic mobile game market is already close to saturation. Even if Li Haoyu has exceptional programming skills, plus the game source code he accumulated in the previous worlds...

However, it's still not enough to compete with these domestic gaming giants.

Therefore, Li Haoyu chose to expand into the overseas mobile game market. He subsequently launched several wildly popular mobile games, achieving considerable success in the UK, US, Japan, and South Korea.

Li Haoyu even created an overseas version of the mobile game "Mobile Legends: Bang Bang". This mobile game is also one of the flagship products of Li Haoyu's company.

How popular is it?

2 million young people across Southeast Asia are playing it.

The game has become a craze for Mobile Legends in countries like Indonesia, Thailand, and the Philippines. It's safe to say that almost everyone knows the English name for Mobile Legends, MLBB.

After all, Li Haoyu isn't like Tencent, who's thinking about making money by creating skins.

He made targeted optimizations, resulting in a smaller game size, only a few hundred to a hundred kilobytes, suitable for local phones with lower specifications.

Their operations and promotions are also very well done; for example, they give players data traffic as a reward for playing the game.

The in-game social interaction is specifically manifested in allowing each player to select their own country upon entering the game, enabling competition between players from different countries.

Li Haoyu even created heroes with unique styles for each country to inspire players' sense of honor.

This infuriated Tencent in China, and even their top legal department couldn't do anything about it.

After all, aside from the fact that the battle modes are similar, they are not.

The game details are all different.

Tencent thinks it can do whatever it wants just because it's overseas.

The last two models could only engage in a simple head-to-head competition. ☺🐯 ➅9ร𝐇𝕌𝕩.COM 💲🐉 The overseas market has completed its quality test, with consumers voting with their feet. Tencent suffered a crushing defeat.

He could only secretly resent Li Haoyu and his snail game.

...............

A knock on the door suddenly broke Li Haoyu's reverie.

The person who pushed open the door was Li Qianwen, the personal secretary that Li Haoyu had just hired.

This office in Xujiahui is now practically an empty shell.

Snail Games' main operations are actually overseas.

Li Qianwen has just graduated from university.

She only graduated from a second-tier university with a degree in tourism.

The job market is already tough this year, and she sent out many resumes only to receive rejections that were not accepted.

Li Qianwen had no choice but to keep refreshing Boss Zhipin (a job recruitment platform) when she suddenly saw that Snail Games was recruiting a chairman's personal assistant.

Li Qianwen didn't actually have any expectations.

Because besides being pretty, I really don't have any other merits.

However, Li Haoyu saw that Snail Games' office was located in the Xujiahui Center Building, and the offered benefits included: weekends off, six types of insurance and one housing fund, plus 16 months' salary.

She clicked on Li Haoyu's chat box on a whim.

She didn't expect that Li Haoyu only asked for her resume.

They immediately decided to hire her.

Li Qianwen couldn't help but feel a little guilty. "President Li, another investment company wants to schedule a meeting with you."

After hearing Li Qianwen's call, Li Haoyu...

He first drew the blinds on the French windows.

Li Haoyu slowly sat down in the boss's chair.

"Didn't I say that I can just politely refuse investment companies that approach me? It's not a good thing that someone so young doesn't have a good memory."

Li Qianwen was a little flustered.

"No, Mr. Li, this is the company you specifically asked us to help. It's Ms. Andy from Sequoia Capital's China office. You said you'd be notified of any news about her immediately."

Li Haoyu then nodded.

"It seems I misunderstood you. You're not angry with me, are you?"

Li Qianwen waved her hand.

"Mr. Li, you're too kind. This is just part of my job. Shall I arrange a meeting between you and Ms. Andy?"

Li Haoyu poured a cup of green tea into his cup.

After downing his drink in one gulp, he said, "I'll still refuse that one, but the apartment rental thing can go ahead. Remember, it has to be the 22nd floor of the Joyful Song residential complex. I just really like that floor."

Li Qianwen really couldn't understand it, after all, the residential area in Ode to Joy wasn't exactly close to the company.

Besides, given Li Haoyu's financial situation, even if he wanted to rent a place, he actually had many better options.

However, you must unconditionally obey the boss's demands.

After all, she has only been working for less than a week, and her internship is not even over yet. If she loses this perfect job, she will definitely regret it for a long time.

Li Qianwen bent down slightly at a 45-degree angle.

"Mr. Li, if there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now. I won't disturb your work any longer. 👹♬ ​​69Şⓗ𝓊x.co🐤☝"

Li Haoyu said, "There's something I need to tell you: our company doesn't follow the seniority system."

"From now on, don't call me General Manager Li, just call me Boss."

Li Qianwen nodded.

"Understood, Mr. Li... Boss."

After saying that, she turned around shakily and walked out of Li Haoyu's office, trying to appear calm.

"It really was a naive and ignorant age."

"It's so good to be young."

Li Haoyu watched Li Qianwen's departing figure.

He couldn't help but sigh.

However, Li Haoyu was not in a hurry to eat Li Qianwen.

It's rare to encounter something so fun, so of course we should keep it going.

His long wait was worthwhile; he finally heard news of Andy.

Andy had been working on Wall Street for some time.

She has finally returned to China.

It's probably because the US stock market has experienced so many circuit breakers that even Andy's financial company couldn't withstand it. So it seems that releasing the news of a dark horse company's upcoming IPO is still quite tempting.

After all, Dark Horse Company has such high revenue.

If it can successfully go public, even Andy's company wouldn't be able to resist the temptation. It's a very tempting pie.

Otherwise, given Andy's arrogant attitude, she wouldn't be willing to invite him so frequently.

I suspect the company is putting a lot of pressure on her.

It's important to know that Andy didn't rely on her looks. Instead, she was a top student who made her way in the world of Wall Street finance. Moreover, she possessed both beauty and intelligence, achieving economic and financial freedom.

So, being a sycophant is completely useless when dealing with someone like Andy.

Li Haoyu decided to firmly reject her a few times before considering anything else.

Anyway, Andy won't care about these minor setbacks.

She might become even more determined after setbacks.

In fact, Li Haoyu has not yet decided on his goal.

Aside from Qu Xiaoxiao, Li Haoyu really didn't think much of her and was only interested in playing around with her.

Other girls all have their own strengths and weaknesses, so let's just take it one step at a time.

Li Haoyu decided to move to Joyful Ode first. That way, he could be closer to the source and have easier access to anyone he wanted to interact with.

It's a good opportunity to test the waters with my secretary.

Li Haoyu almost laughed when he saw Li Qianwen pretending to be busy in front of him. Her little scheme was as obvious as day.

Don't make it too obvious.

It seems that Li Qianwen really cares about this job.

Then give her a chance to shine.

Li Haoyu walked out of the office and faced his secretary.

"Pack your things and come with me."

Li Qianwen quickly hid her phone.

She wasn't sure if Li Haoyu had actually noticed anything.

Li Haoyu hurriedly asked, "Where are we going?"

Li Haoyu remained calm. "I'm moving, so I'm just buying some gifts for my neighbors."

Li Qianwen couldn't help but nod.

No wonder Li Haoyu was able to get into such a big company at such a young age; there's definitely a reason for his success. At least in terms of interpersonal skills, I still have a lot to learn from him.

"What kind of gift should I buy?"

Li Haoyu said, "Just buy six boxes of high-end handmade chocolates."

"Girls like that would definitely like it, but what if there are male neighbors? Should we prepare some other gifts as well?"

Li Haoyu curled his lip. "What gifts do men give? I only give them to girls, and they have to be beautiful. Otherwise, do you think I'm just bored?"

Li Qianwen's lips twitched slightly.

She couldn't help but look up.

"Boss, shall I go make the arrangements now? But what's the budget for each gift?"

"If you don't have a budget, just buy the most expensive one."

Li Haoyu waved his hand casually and laughed.

This is also why he likes Li Qianwen; even if she might not understand his thoughts, she will still carry out his orders without hesitation.

Li Haoyu had previously interviewed many beautiful women who had returned from overseas and attended top business schools.

But they were all far too arrogant. Although they didn't show it too obviously, their nostrils were practically pointing to the sky.

Do you really think he can't tell?

Those girls didn't actually want to be secretaries; they just wanted to use the assistant position to win me over and become the boss's wife of a listed company.

In comparison, this makes sense.

On the contrary, he felt more at ease with people like Li Qianwen who were simple-minded.

After all, being his secretary didn't require any outstanding abilities. As long as she was pretty and obedient enough, and Li Haoyu found her pleasing to the eye, that was enough.

Li Qianwen is still very quick and efficient.

She finished packing quickly.

"I've already made an appointment by phone, and I'll come pick it up in person later."

"Do you have any other plans?"

"It's nothing, just call me when you get to the Joyful Song residential area, okay?"

"I have some questions, boss. Are you available now?"

"Just tell me directly."

Li Haoyu looked up at her.

"I'd like to know about your personal preferences, such as whether you prefer tea or coffee? If coffee, do you like it with sugar or a bit bitter?"

"Regarding appointments, is there anything I could improve? For example, could I help you decline appointments that you're not comfortable asking for?"

"And then there's the matter of food. Do you need me to order food for you? Are there any dietary restrictions you should be aware of?"

Li Qianwen actually took out a black notebook.

She looked at him with anticipation.

Most importantly, her expression was quite sincere, and she seemed to be looking forward to Li Haoyu's answer.

Li Haoyu: ……

He really didn't expect Li Qianwen to be so thoughtful.

She really does have the potential to be an assistant.

Immediately, Li Haoyu felt a sense of genuine relief. So this is what it feels like to have an assistant—someone who takes good care of you. No wonder so many bosses fall for their secretaries.

Such meticulous care does indeed provide a strong emotional value.

But he didn't show his happiness.

Li Haoyu also answered Li Qianwen's question.

"I can't tell you this; you'll see as you observe. If you can't even do this, then you should resign."

After saying that, Li Haoyu walked out without looking back.

Li Qianwen looked surprised.

But she saw that Li Haoyu had really left.

Li Qianwen could only hurriedly chase after him.

Li Haoyu was about to go directly to the Joyful Song residential area.

He noticed that Li Qianwen was still standing at the company entrance.

Li Haoyu asked, "Why haven't you gone to buy chocolate yet?"

Li Qianwen then realized it was her boss and hurriedly replied, "I booked a Didi, but it's rush hour and there's still traffic."

Li Haoyu casually pulled out his car keys from his pocket.

"Then you can drive me there, I'm too lazy to drive. Go get the chocolate first, then take me to the Joyful Song residential area."

Li Qianwen nodded. "Boss, what kind of car do you drive? I'll go get it for you."

"A blue Bentley should be easy to find."

Li Qianwen suddenly froze.

It turned out to be the luxury car that colleagues had been discussing during lunch.

This car... it belongs to Li Haoyu?

So capable?

Li Qianwen actually doesn't know much about cars.

However, she had heard from her colleagues that it was a Bentley Arnage, a custom-made model that cost at least ten million.

Goodness, is it that expensive?

No wonder Li Haoyu was willing to spend so much money to hire an assistant for himself.

"Hurry up and get the car, what are you all standing there for?"

Li Qianwen came to her senses.

She jogged straight to the underground parking garage.

Li Qianwen gazed at the gleaming luxury car, trying her best to remain calm.

She first looked at the features of the luxury car: apart from a dozen or so buttons whose purpose she didn't understand, it wasn't anything special.

However, her strong heartbeat betrayed her.

If something happens...

Then I've essentially sold myself into servitude...

She carefully drove the car in front of Li Haoyu.

"Boss, I'm all ready. Get in the car."

Li Haoyu didn't say anything and just sat down in the back row.

However, Li Qianwen drove incredibly steadily.

It's clearly a high-performance luxury car.

In Li Qianwen's hands, it's not much faster than making small loaves of bread.

That's a skill in itself.
