We agreed not to date, so why are you crying now that I've become the richest man?

"Mr. Ye, what's the next step?"

Han Ming rubbed his hands together, full of enthusiasm.

"The art team should hurry up and replace the assets, and then simplify the interface further."

Ye Chen pulled up a chair, sat down, and tapped on the table.

"In addition, it integrates Apple's in-app purchases and Google Play services."

"I want to see the final interrogation package within a week."

Lu Yuan nodded emphatically.

"Understood, I guarantee I will complete the mission."

After explaining the technical progress, Ye Chen got up and walked towards Su Ya's private office.

Pushing open the door, Su Ya was staring at various reports on the computer screen.

Today she was wearing a dark blue business suit with a neatly tailored waistline and a skirt that hugged her long, slender legs, exuding both intellect and competence.

"Suya, prepare the developer account."

Ye Chen got straight to the point.

Su Ya looked up, slightly surprised.

"So soon? A new game is coming out?"

"right."

Ye Chen pulled out a chair and sat down.

Suya quickly jotted it down in her memo.

"No problem, the account holder change has been approved and can be uploaded at any time."

Ye Chen tapped the tabletop lightly with his fingertips, his mind drifting to the trends in overseas app markets.

How are the stats for Angry Sparrow these past few days?

Suya brought up the background data and turned the screen around.

"It's still growing, and daily active users have exceeded 600,000. However, in the past two days, several overseas capital firms have contacted us via email, wanting to acquire this game."

She paused for a moment.

"The highest bidder offered five million US dollars."

Ye Chen looked at the numbers on the screen and burst out laughing.

Five million US dollars? They certainly have a dream.

He stood up and straightened the hem of his clothes.

"Leave all emails unanswered for now."

"Once Temple Run is released, we will crush the bottom line of these capitalists once again."

As soon as Ye Chen finished speaking, Su Ya paused for a moment, her hand holding the pen still.

She was already used to Ye Chen's unpredictable way of speaking.

But every time I hear something like that, I still feel a bit choked up.

Su Ya actually had some doubts about Ye Chen's strong optimism about the new game.

After all, the success of a previous game does not guarantee that subsequent works will continue the success.

However, she did not express these doubts.

She is clear about her position.

My job is simply to manage finances and keep a close eye on the company's accounts.

As for whether the game will succeed and what the company's future strategy should be, these are things the boss should consider.

The acquisition offer was five million US dollars.

In the presence of most startups, the boss would slam his fist on the table and shout that his ancestors' graves were emitting auspicious smoke.

But Ye Chen didn't even bother to reply to the email.

Suya snapped out of her thoughts, re-filed the quotation email, and remained calm in her tone.

"Then I'll mark them all and not reply."

"Um."

Ye Chen got up to leave.

Just as I reached the door, my phone suddenly vibrated.

It's not a phone call.

It's a message from a QQ group.

One after another.

The numbers in the upper right corner of the screen were jumping rapidly, and the group chat was as lively as if firecrackers were going off.

Ye Chen clicked on it and saw that it was a high school class group.

He hadn't planned to watch it.

These kinds of groups are usually just people posting their college acceptance letters, or who went to which school, or who got tanned during military training—they're not very valuable.

But the next second, a photo popped up.

The photo was taken at the entrance of East China University in Shanghai.

In the crowd, a girl was dragging a silver suitcase, standing under a red welcome banner.

White short-sleeved shirt, light-colored denim skirt.

She was tall and slender with a soft waistline, and her legs were fair and straight beneath her skirt.

With his straight back and cool, clean demeanor, he stood out among the group of freshmen.

Lin Wanqing.

The group chat has become quite lively.

"Holy crap, Lin Wanqing went to Shanghai too?"

"Didn't they say she applied to a university in Beijing?"

"What Beijing University? Did she change her application at the last minute?"

"My cousin was welcoming new students at East China University today. She had seen our class's graduation photo at my house before and recognized Lin Wanqing. Today she saw Lin Wanqing go through the registration process with her own eyes."

"East China University is also quite strong, a famous university in Shanghai."

"The key point is Shanghai, and Ye Chen is also at Shanghai Jiao Tong University."

"Isn't this just a case of fate not yet running its course?"

"Hahahaha, Brother Chen, come out and take your beating."

"Ye Chen, you confessed your feelings to him but were rejected. Now that you live in the same city, your chance has come."

"Missed it in senior year of high school, but the sequel is in college?"

Ye Chen glanced at a few lines without even frowning.

Su Ya looked up when she saw him standing at the door without moving.

"Is something wrong at the company?"

"fine."

Ye Chen turned off his phone screen and gave a slightly speechless snort.

"The sales pitches these days are getting more and more outrageous."

Suya had no interest in her boss's personal matters. Seeing his posture as if he was about to slack off, she knew that today's work report was over.

She deftly closed the folder, cradled it in her arms, and spoke calmly.

"Then I won't disturb Mr. Ye while he's handling his personal business."

Sensing the teasing in her words, Ye Chen leaned back in his chair and couldn't help but chuckle.

"Director Su, with your sarcastic and unfriendly style, it's a waste of your talent to only be in charge of finance."

"One is influenced by one's surroundings; it's all thanks to the boss's good influence."

Su Ya remained calm and answered the question flawlessly.

Ye Chen smiled, pointed at her, stopped joking with her, grabbed his phone from the table, and strolled out of the office.

The group chat is still flooded with messages.

"Where's Ye Chen? Why isn't he saying anything?"

"Didn't you used to be head over heels in love with Lin Wanqing?"

"Now that they're in Shanghai, shouldn't we treat them to a meal?"

"Don't pretend you can't see it."

This guy still has a sharp tongue.

Even though he was ignored by the principal at his college entrance banquet and was humiliated by the restaurant's gutter oil scandal, he still couldn't shake his sour taste.

Zhao Peng was also in the group.

He first sent a laughing emoji.

Then I started spraying.

"Li Hao, are you just bored out of your mind?"

"What does Lin Wanqing's choice of school have to do with Ye Chen?"

"Besides, Chenzi is extremely busy right now."

Li Hao replied instantly.

"Zhao Peng, what's your hurry?"

"I was talking about Ye Chen, not you."

"Or is Ye Chen doing so poorly that he's afraid to show his face?"

Zhao Peng: "Come on, if you'd ever seen what Chenzi's condition is like right now, you wouldn't dare to be so stubborn."

Li Hao: "Hehe, what's your status? You just got into Jiaotong University, right?"

Li Hao: "We're all college students, why are you acting all high and mighty?"

Someone in the group tried to smooth things over.

"Quiet down, quiet down."

"Just kidding."

"Yeah, it's a classmate group chat."

"It's quite a coincidence that both Lin Wanqing and Ye Chen are in Shanghai."

"Ye Chen pursued Lin Wanqing for so long before, it would be quite a vivid image if they were to reunite now."

"I'm totally shipping them!"

Ye Chen almost laughed.

There is too little information about these people.

They're still stuck in the high school classroom, stuck on the day they were rejected after confessing their feelings, stuck in that little circle of people who get good grades, who has a crush on whom, and who gets to treat others to meals to save face.

Ye Chen is currently busy with game launch, company restructuring, overseas funding, and team expansion.

I have no interest in spending time with them reminiscing about their youth.
