I was in my final year of high school, and my deskmate found out I was writing a novel!

"What did you say? You're resigning?"

"Yeah, you can't just stop me from resigning, can you?"

"No...you founded this company, and you're telling me you're resigning?"

"Well, the main problem is... I'm graduating soon, and I haven't written my thesis yet."

Upon hearing this reason, Chen Guowei rolled his eyes in anger and almost passed out.

The boss of a startup resigns just as they're preparing to go public—what the hell is that?!

Moreover, Ye Feng currently holds 42% of the company's shares!

"Can you please stop worrying about your thesis? So what if you don't get your diploma?"

"No way, I finally got in, it would be a waste not to get this diploma."

"Tell me the truth, what are you really thinking? Your shares are worth hundreds of millions, bro!"

"Cough cough, I'm so busy every day, I really don't want to do this anymore, I just like lying down."

"..."

"Then tell me, who do you want to play?"

"Why don't you go for it? You still have 8% of the shares left, and besides, your skills are mediocre. You might as well be a manager."

Upon hearing this, Chen Guowei's lips twitched. What kind of talk was that?

How skilled could a student who hasn't even graduated from university possibly be?

Although he holds the title of deputy technical director, it's only because of the stock he owns and Ye Feng's support. In reality, he doesn't even speak that loudly in the technical department because... he's incompetent!

Now, Ye Feng has asked him to be the boss of this company. To be honest, he is quite tempted. He's already the boss of a near-listed company before even graduating. His future looks bright!

However, he was well aware of his own capabilities. If he were to take over, the company would go bankrupt, and his shares would become worthless.

"Come on, I know my own limitations. I'm planning to make a fortune from my shares."

"So what do you think we should do?"

"Why don't you stay a little longer? You're doing pretty well right now, aren't you? We also have a new game coming out, and we're just waiting for the listing ceremony to boost sales. You should at least stay until after the IPO!"

"Hey, Viagra, I really can't keep this up anymore. You have so much to do every day, and besides, we're about to go public, and I really don't know anything about this. So, I was thinking of finding someone with experience in this area, a professional manager would be fine too."

Chen Guowei also agreed that Ye Feng was right; Ye Feng had already decided to leave, and saying anything more would be useless.

As for whether he would be fired, he wasn't worried at all. To be honest, he was under a lot of pressure at the company. Not to mention the big shots who had been poached by the company at great expense, they were all top-notch in the industry, which made him look like an idiot.

However, he did learn a lot and made connections with talented people in the industry, which was very useful to him.

Furthermore, he has to wait for the IPO to cash out his shares!

Actually, he could understand why Ye Feng wanted to leave. The pressure was indeed too great. Not to mention the various negotiations during the game's release, Ye Feng spent every day drinking with those investment banks during the fundraising process!

He couldn't understand it at the time. They weren't short of money; games were quite profitable, so they just kept doing it.

But once the first round of funding arrived, he discovered, wow, their game could actually sell even better!

Moreover, all sorts of unexpected collaborations and channels came along, and talents that were previously unattainable also came. Only then did he understand why Ye Feng needed to attract investment.

Now, the second round of financing has been secured, and the new game is almost finished in development. They feel that this game is very good and has a strong market potential, and they are just waiting for it to become a hit.

"Don't spread this around beforehand, don't tell anyone. I need to talk to a few shareholders first. They need to know about this. Also, I need to find someone through their connections."

"What if...they seize power...Ignore what I said, you don't even want power anymore..."

......

The investment bankers and the companies they invested in were also completely dumbfounded. They usually fight tooth and nail for power, and now the founder is trying to run away!

"No...Mr. Ye, is there something we've done that you've misunderstood? If so, we can communicate more..."

"No, that's not true. I think our cooperation is great, but I really feel that my abilities are no longer sufficient to manage the company. In addition, the company is about to go public, and I think we should find an experienced person to run it."

"If we want to go public, we can find relevant personnel to provide guidance; these are all easily resolved issues."

"I've made up my mind. The reason I called you all here today is to recommend some relevant personnel, think of them as... professional managers!"

Seeing that Ye Feng was determined to leave, the others stopped trying to persuade him and decided to secure the position first.

This is a rare opportunity. The company is about to go public and is currently on a fast track of development. Reaching this position certainly won't just be about salary; it will involve receiving related shares!

This means you can get a large number of shares very quickly after you join!

However, they still need Ye Feng's approval to choose whomever they want, whether it's through a vote or because he is currently the head of the company!

The representatives from all sides had a heated discussion about the position. Ye Feng was getting a headache from the argument. The interests involved were significant, and no one wanted to give in.

Ye Feng was also driven crazy by the noise.

Actually, he would prefer someone from within the company to take over, since the company is about to go public, and a smooth transition is the most crucial thing.

So, he recommended someone.

"I recommend Lin Wei. She has been in charge of operations since the company was founded, and after becoming COO, she took charge of the entire business of the second round of financing. The due diligence report and the prediction model for the new game that you have were all done by her team."

Lin Wei was recruited from the community. She is thirty-eight years old and currently has 3% of her equity. She is really outstanding, and Ye Feng thinks she is truly capable.

The investment bankers certainly had objections; they wanted the person in that position to be one of their own, even though the chances were slim. They had to fight for it!

"President Ye, shouldn't we reconsider this matter? According to our information, Lin Wei has never been the head of any company."

The truth is that Lin Wei hasn't proven herself yet, and now is a critical moment for the company; they dare not gamble.

"Be careful, I'm not just going to wash my hands of things all at once. I'll hand over the reins gradually until the IPO is over."

"Well... let's try it out as Mr. Ye suggests. We'll keep a close eye on it in the near future."

"Alright, this is ultimately an internal company matter. I just wanted to inform everyone."

"You want to supervise? What a joke! They only have the right to supervise finances. Do you really think Ye Feng is stupid enough to let them get involved in such a profitable company?"

Even if he has no experience, can't he just look it up online? The company is very profitable and has plenty of cash on hand. The purpose of bringing in capital is to help us grow faster in the future, not to let them participate in management!
