After Playing the Fool and Marrying the Blind Villain [Transmigration] - Chap 94
The two still didn’t want to go out, so they asked the hotel room staff to bring dinner.
Bo Yueming cut the meat from the charcoal-grilled pork ribs bit by bit and sent it to Pei Yi’s bowl. After seeing his lover eating happily, he took the initiative to bring up a topic.
“While you were asleep, I asked Lin Zhong to look into Weiyi and Xunya Technology.”
Pei Yi raised his eyebrows. “Lin Zhong came with you too?”
Bo Yueming poured aired-out red wine for Pei Yi and said lightly, “En, he’s staying in a room downstairs. I’ll ask Qiao Dong to stay there during this time as well.”
Pei Yi took a bite of meat, and a trace of ambiguous intentions filled him.
This was great.
They would be the only ones in this huge suite? No one would bother them?
Bo Yueming noticed Pei Yi’s absent-mindedness and called, “Kitten?”
“Ah?”
Pei Yi quickly focused his gaze and put on a serious expression. “What did you find?”
Focusing on Weiyi, Bo Yueming said, “Do you know the situation with Gu Jianshen and Ning Jing?”
Pei Yi took a sip of red wine and nodded.
Gu Jianshen had been transferred back to Weiyi headquarters from Nebula Fun Tour at the beginning of the year and became the manager of the copyright department.
Ning Jing was the general manager of Weiyi. She was originally in charge of game investment and had a higher say than the former.
Bo Yueming got to the key point, “Weiyi has had a wave of high-level changes this year. The current acting director is named Qu Yi, who was appointed by the board of directors at the beginning of the year to manage Weiyi headquarters.”
“The former executive director was named Guo Guanghong, and he has now returned to a shareholder position.”
Pei Yi frowned slightly. “If it was so good, why did Guo Guanghong quit? Is he old?”
Bo Yueming shook his head. “He’s in his early forties, which can’t be considered old. Weiyi’s internal changes have not been explained in detail to the outside world, but I guess that—”
“It should be related to the decline in the market value of Weiyi’s game stocks in the past two years.”
There was no senior shareholder of any group who would not get along with each other for benefits.
Pei Yi nodded and continued to listen to Bo Yueming’s news.
“Although Qu Yi is the acting director, since he took office, he has replaced almost all the core positions in important departments with his own people.”
For example, Gu Jianshen in the copyright department, and Ning Jing as the general manager.
Pei Yi got to the core of the problem and hit the nail on the head. “What about Gao Pingfeng? Is he on the side of the former director Guo Guanghong?”
Bo Yueming raised his glass and swirled it. “Clever.”
“Seventeen Days” was one of Weiyi’s flagship games. Although the new dungeon series launched in the past two years was controversial and imperfect, the player base was still there.
“As a chief game planner, Gao Pingfeng’s position will basically not change unless he makes a major mistake. What’s more, Guo Guanghong is still in the position of shareholder and has no room to maneuver.”
His lover’s words gently poked him, and Pei Yi began to guess, “Er-ge, do you mean that Guo Guanghong and Qu Yi had a dispute over the position of ‘director?’ Guo Guanghong probably wants to find the right time to get it back.”
Bo Yueming replied, “It’s not impossible.”
Pei Yi remembered something again and frowned. “But isn’t Ning Jing particularly resistant to Gao Pingfeng’s attitude?”
If they were from different camps, then Ning Jing should not have given Gao Pingfeng the slightest chance. But after the script was leaked, the latter’s script was even considered as an alternative.
Bo Yueming chuckled and said, “Kitten, matters of company management are not black and white.”
When Pei Yi heard this, he realized that he was splitting hairs. “That’s right.”
Although they belonged to different camps, the person in charge was now Qu Yi.
A person in a position of power must want the company to prosper and for no investment to go to waste, and must use the most reasonable emergency plan.
What’s more, if the two parties didn’t openly disagree with each other, HR couldn’t do anything.
However, without harming the company’s interests, if Guo Guanghong and Gao Pingfeng could be gotten rid of, he would quietly exercise his rights—
For example, Pei Yi pointed out that he didn’t want Gao Pingfeng’s assistance and insisted that he could change the script within a limited amount of time. Then Gao Pingfeng immediately lost his usefulness.
Pei Yi thought to himself and changed his question, asking, “Er-ge, what about Xunya Technology?”
Bo Yueming replied, “There are no big changes in Xunya Technology. The two Zhao brothers are still in charge.”
Xunya Technology had made its fortune in internet technology, mainly relying on video platforms to make money, and later acquired several game companies.
The general manager in charge of the game sector was named Lu Yao, who was also one of the well-known strong women in the industry. Under her tough leadership, Xunya Technology’s status in the game industry had risen rapidly in just five years.
It was even on equal footing with Weiyi.
However, due to rumors such as “plagiarism,” “withholding game royalties,” and “squeezing programmers” —-
Reviews over the years had been mixed.
Bo Yueming helped analyze, “The script was exposed and spread some time ago. Although Xunya Technology was behind the scenes, the focus is still within Weiyi.”
Pei Yi’s eyes darkened. “In the end, it’s Gao Pingfeng and Guo Guanghong’s fault.”
“Qu Yi and Ning Jing have probably guessed it, but still chose to turn a blind eye.” Bo Yueming asked, “Do you know why they have this attitude?”
Pei Yi swirled his wine glass. “Why else? YWY is a small startup studio.”
There could be long-term beneficial cooperation, but they were not irreplaceable. If something went wrong, they would show the habitual high profile of a large company.
Bo Yueming asked, “How will you handle this matter?”
Pei Yi thought clearly. “If Gao Pingfeng really leaked the script, causing me and the studio to work in vain, then I will definitely have to compensate for it next.”
He could understand that large companies had their own conflicts of interest and behavior, but he would not forgive villains who infringed on the interests of others for their own selfish gain.
Bo Yueming asked him, “Have you figured out what to do?”
Pei Yi shook his head truthfully. “I need to think about it.”
He had just found his answer, so he naturally couldn’t think of countermeasures immediately.
Bo Yueming set down his knife and fork with a serious look on his face. “Pei Yi, I have something I want to talk to you about.”
Pei Yi was taken aback. “What is it?”
Bo Yueming was silent for a couple of seconds before choosing to speak. “I know you have your own principles in your career and you don’t want to rely on help from outsiders. You want to rely on your own efforts to make the studio bigger and stronger.”
“I respect your wishes, but can I not be excluded as an outsider?”
Pei Yi took an uncertain breath. “Er-ge?”
Bo Yueming asked him in an earnest tone, “Why do you think I had to compete with the main branch before, and why did I agree with Grandma to stay as the chairman temporarily?”
“…….”
“It was in order to have more rights and more say, so that I can protect the people I want to protect. For you.”
Bo Yueming spoke clearly word by word. “Pei Yi, I’m not an outsider. I hope that we can rely on each other in life and in our careers.”
“Not only when you encounter difficulties, where I can help you stabilize the situation, but also when I encounter difficulties. You can also help me.”
Bo Yueming had never thought of interfering with Pei Yi’s career from beginning to end.
They were not like what was said on the internet, “Pei Yi and YWY are incompetent, so he spends money through a backdoor relationship.”
If he made money and had capital, if he didn’t spend it on his lover, then what was the use?
“The connection between Bo Group’s industry and the gaming industry is indeed very small, but that doesn’t mean I can’t support you, and doesn’t mean that I can’t help you. Understand?”
Pei Yi stared at Bo Yueming in silence for several seconds, and then the corners of his mouth turned up little by little. “Er-ge, do you know what I’m sensing right now?”
“What?”
“I sense that you’re aggrieved.” There was also a smile in Pei Yi’s eyes. “I’m sorry that I didn’t let you come forward to help.”
Bo Yueming didn’t expect that his thoughts would turn in this direction, and was helpless. “Yes, I feel aggrieved. I want to help, and I can’t bear to see you being looked down upon and bullied in your career.”
When their eyes met, Pei Yi saw Bo Yueming’s earnestness and distress. He put down his wine glass and accepted the proposal from the bottom of his heart.
“Okay, I think you’re right.”
The two of them were lovers, and supporting each other was the correct thing to do. Thinking about it for a moment—
If today it was Bo Yueming who was bullied by the main branch and others in his career, if Pei Yi had the ability, he would never be able to watch his lover solve the problem on his own.
Bo Yueming asked, “En?”
Pei Yi walked around and sat next to him. “I’ve been a little tired from writing recently, and my brain is empty. I can’t think of a way to defeat Gao Pingfeng”
He deliberately said this in an aggrieved and troubled way, with a hint of coaxing—
“Er-ge, with your shining title of ‘Chairman of Bo Group,’ can you find a way to support me?”
How could Bo Yueming not see that Pei Yi was deliberately being well-behaved?
But since Pei Yi, who had always been strong in his career, was willing to let him help, he couldn’t ask for more.
“On the evening of the 18th, Haishi will hold an auction and exchange party for a corporate charity. I heard that it will be a fundraiser for orphans and orphanages.”
Bo Yueming told him about the arrangements he had made early that morning. “Weiyi and Xunya Technology will send people there. Lin Zhong has confirmed that both Qu and Guo are on the guest list.”
“…….”
Orphanage? Fundraiser?
Pei Yi’s thoughts condensed for a moment, and then he heard Bo Yueming say, “I will personally donate money in your and Bo Group’s names. After obtaining the admission qualification, I will accompany you to meet them.”
Pei Yi considered for a moment, hiding some of his thoughts. “Er-ge, this fundraiser is a great charity. I don’t want to use it for my own name.”
“I’ll discuss it with Pear Garden later. It just so happens that I still have some money on my card. I want to pay my due share in the name of YWY Studios.”
Bo Yueming didn’t force the matter, and respected his lover’s thoughts. “All right.”
Pei Yi’s lips curved in pleasure.
Since the moment Bo Yueming appeared in Haishi, he had felt extremely calm and stable.
Bo Yueming looked at the large table of food that had barely been touched, and urged in a gentle voice, “We’ve been focusing on talking, come, eat a little more.”
He had to find a way to help make up for the weight his lover had lost during this period.
Pei Yi smiled coquettishly. “I want to eat spicy crab!”
Bo Yueming indulged him. “Okay, I’ll peel it for you, wait a minute.”
. . . . . . .
Ten p.m.
When Bo Yueming came out of the bathroom, Pei Yi was lying on the bed, playing games on his cell phone.
Their studio’s “The Last Fog” had been online for half a month. The current number of game users had increase nicely, and the game had been well-received on all major social platforms and downloaded software.
Once the in-game transaction channel was opened, profits would continue to grow.
Pei Yi really hadn’t had time to try it out a while ago, so he downloaded the official version now that he was free. He used his own internal beta number and registered a new account—
“Evolution of the Crispy Cat’s Alcohol Capacity.”
Bo Yueming came closer and saw the ID name of his game character. He couldn’t help but laugh, “Where did you come up with such a weird name?”
“Weird?”
Pei Yi pulled up the quilt and raised his head to retort, “Isn’t this name funny? I struggled for a long time before thinking of it.”
For those who were serious about naming, this was something to brag about to a certain extent.
Pei Yi thought of Li Yuan, who was also a naming waste, and decisively betrayed his friend. “You haven’t seen Li Yuan’s ID. He just wrote ‘This Pear Can’t be Picked,’ but I don’t know what it means.”
Bo Yueming had a hard time holding back his laughter. “You two are just the same.”
Pei Yi gave an unconvinced hum and continued to poke at the game screen on his phone.
Bo Yueming hugged him from behind. “Tired? Look at the dark circles under your eyes. Haven’t you been lacking sleep recently?”
Pei Yi leaned into his arms contentedly. “I had enough sleep this afternoon, so I’m not very sleepy now. I want to finish the novice tasks first and then rest.”
Bo Yueming kissed his earlobe. “Won’t the game you designed yourself be unchallenging for you?”
Pei Yi said honestly, “The difficult dungeons still require a lot of effort, but the novice tasks at the moment are pretty unchallenging.”
The novice task was to use the limited props in his backpack to capture three minor zombies. It was nothing more than identifying the zombies’ escape path and then using the props to attack, drop, and subdue them.
The series of fully automatic operations couldn’t be easier.
However, as the original architect, Pei Yi had also come up with a mischievous idea—
If a player really railed to pass this novice mission, he or she would receive a special ‘declaration of honor’ and ‘consolation props.’
Pei Yi finished the introduction and excitedly opened the novice mission.
Bo Yueming’s eyes flickered slightly, and the hands that were originally wrapped around his lover’s waist began to move.
“…….”
Pei Yi’s breathing immediately became uneven. “E-Er-ge.”
Bo Yueming bit his ear lightly, his tone still decent, “You keep doing what you’re doing and I’ll do my own thing too. In the meantime, I’ll make your novice mission a little more difficult.”
As he spoke, his hands became a little heavier.
Pei Yi’s breathing shook, and the props thrown on the screen were misdirected. One of them missed.
Bo Yueming intensified his stimulation. “Little Sir, there are only five props left.”
Pei Yi’s face turned red and he raised a pistol, which was one of the props. “There are five more chances left, what’s the hurry…..wu…..”
Halfway through his words, they were replaced by a soft moan.
The blush climbed from the sides of Pei Yi’s neck to his cheeks. Heat swayed around him, making him lose his mind.
The props on the screen lost their accuracy time and time again until Pei Yi’s palms gave out and he dropped his phone limply beside the bed, unattended.
Three minutes later, the novice mission ended.
The black and gray word “Failure” was displayed on the screen, and two loud message lines immediately appeared:
— Ding! Player [Evolution of the Crispy Cat’s Alcohol Capacity] won their first defeat in the ‘Novice Mission Dungeon!’
— You have obtained the limited-time prop [Even Minor Zombies Think I’m a Loser], which can avoid three zombie attacks!
