Agreeing to Create Bad Games, What the Hell Is ‘Titanfall’? Chapter 47
“…That day, even before President Yan reached the front desk, he was already bowing down, grinning from ear to ear. It was so over the top!”
Zhongjing.
YiYou Technology Co., Ltd.
Song Jie was training the newly hired front desk assistant, Xiao Ling.
“Think about it, if the boss himself is that humble, what would’ve happened if I’d given that princess the cold shoulder back then? Wouldn’t I have been in deep trouble?”
Song Jie’s tone was heavy with meaning.
“That’s why, no matter the time, no matter how young or old the customer is—”
“Even if it’s just a kid walking in, you treat them with enthusiasm.”
“After all, we’re the company’s front-facing representatives.”
After she finished, Xiao Ling nodded seriously. “I understand, Supervisor Song.”
“Good, work hard. I only got recognized by the company and became a supervisor because I handled that visit well.”
As she spoke, Song Jie reached out and adjusted Xiao Ling’s silk scarf a little.
“As long as you make the effort to treat every visitor with care, you’ll do great too.”
Just as she was saying this—
Ding-dong—
A chime rang out from the elevator corridor.
Both Song Jie and Xiao Ling looked up. The elevator had stopped on their floor.
The doors slowly slid open, and a girl with bun-shaped hair, sucking on a lollipop, stepped out.
Right behind her was a mature, elegant woman—her secretary.
In the next second!
Song Jie, who had just sat down, sprang to her feet!
Holy sh*t, did my mouth just cast a spell? Speak of the devil, and she appears?!
At the same time, she smacked the still-seated Xiao Ling on the arm and whispered urgently, “Get up, quick!”
“Huh? Oh!”
Xiao Ling scrambled to her feet, not daring to slack off.
She shot a glance at Song Jie, wanting to ask who this was, but before she could, Song Jie had already circled around the front desk to greet the guests.
“Hello, President Shen, what an honor to have you here! Sorry we didn’t come down to greet you earlier.”
Song Jie’s smile bloomed like a peony—elegant and dazzling.
“You’re here to see President Yan, right? Please give me a moment to notify him—just two minutes.”
That’s right!
The visitor today was none other than Shen Miaomiao, along with her executive assistant, Chu Qingzhou!
Song Jie might not know everyone, but how could she not recognize the princess?
With practiced ease, she guided Shen Miaomiao to the sofa area to wait, then quickly returned to the front desk to call the secretary’s office.
Next to her, Xiao Ling whispered nervously, “Supervisor… who is she?”
“Who did I just tell you about earlier?” Song Jie raised an eyebrow at her.
Gasp!
Xiao Ling sucked in a breath of cold air. “The one who made our President Yan bow like a grandkid?!”
“Shhh, don’t talk nonsense,” Song Jie glared at her, scolding, “You can’t just blurt out everything that comes to mind…”
As they spoke, the secretary’s office picked up the call.
Song Jie switched to a professional tone and said, “Hello, Secretary Li? President Shen from Golden Wind is here for a visit. Could you please notify President Yan?”
“Again?!!”
Meanwhile, in the President’s office—Yan Sheng was halfway into grabbing his suit jacket, his eyes wide.
“What’s going on this time? How’s her mood? Why does this feel way too familiar?!”
Secretary Li tried not to laugh but couldn’t help it a little.
Their President Yan was such a powerhouse—when he took down the old guard faction, it was swift, clean, and decisive. No hesitation, no mercy. He had the aura to shake the heavens.
For days back then, no one in the company even dared to breathe too loudly!
But now? A girl in her twenties had him so jumpy and on edge, rushing around like crazy, afraid of showing any disrespect.
The contrast was so stark, it was actually kind of… adorable.
“Don’t worry, sir. From what the front desk says, President Shen seems to be in a good mood this time, not acting all high and mighty.”
“Oh, oh, that’s good… that’s good…” Yan Sheng sighed in relief.
Once again, they welcomed Shen Miaomiao into the office.
The two sides took their seats, host and guest.
Yan Sheng handed Shen Miaomiao a cup of tea. “President Shen, you really should’ve let us know you were coming in advance. I would’ve arranged for someone to pick you up from the station.”
“It’s fine,” Shen Miaomiao took the hot tea and thanked him.
“Zhongjing’s pretty convenient to get around. It wasn’t a hassle.”
“True, true,” Yan Sheng nodded with a smile, then asked cautiously,
“So... what brings you here this time, President Shen?”
He was a bit lost.
Every time Shen Miaomiao showed up, it was a surprise attack—no heads-up, no prep time. He had no choice but to wing it.
“It’s like this,” Shen Miaomiao got straight to the point, not one to beat around the bush.
“Golden Wind is looking to enter the motion-sensing cabin market. What’s your take on that, President Yan?”
Motion-sensing cabin?!
Hearing that, Yan Sheng froze, his brows furrowing slightly.
As a seasoned business leader, his first instinct was: this doesn’t seem like a good idea.
He knew exactly where Golden Wind stood.
As of the end of this month, Golden Wind’s total revenue was only around three million.
After deducting various expenses and the required reserves, their liquid capital was roughly two million.
For a fledgling mini-game company to pull off a net two million in a quarter? That was nothing short of a miracle. They were doing incredibly well.
But in the motion-sensing cabin market…
“I think… it might be a bit risky.”
Yan Sheng’s expression turned serious.
Shen Miaomiao nodded inwardly.
She could tell—Yan Sheng was a good person.
He genuinely wanted to help Golden Wind, which is why he was giving this cautious, somewhat negative advice.
If it had been anyone else, they’d probably just wave their hand and say, “Go for it!”
After all, if someone wanted to throw money down the drain, why not take advantage of them? Whether you survived or not—none of their business.
YiYou’s game companies? They had hundreds of them. One more or less didn’t matter. If a small game company died, so be it—just another casualty of their own recklessness.
Thinking this, Shen Miaomiao silently apologized to Yan Sheng in her heart.
Sorry, President Yan. I know you mean well. I’m not stupid either.
But to achieve financial freedom and fulfill my dream of traveling the world until I’m old... I’ve gotta play the part of the big spender here. Hope you’ll bear with me!
With that, she frowned slightly and looked at Yan Sheng.
“Risky? President Yan, are you saying Golden Wind doesn’t have the financial capacity for this?”
Uh... yeah, what else could it be?
Yan Sheng blinked, momentarily baffled.
Two million in liquid funds, and you think you can go head-to-head with the big players in the market?
But then a thought struck him!
Oh, right—
They’ve got Shen Capital backing them!
What’s a little money lost here and there? Totally reasonable.
“Ah, I understand now, mm-hmm.” Yan Sheng nodded.
“In that case, I’d say your company has great potential!”
Kidding, right?
With Shen Capital behind them and a superstar designer like Gu Sheng leading the way, of course they had the means to enter the motion-sensing cabin market.
“Ah, now that’s what I like to hear.” Shen Miaomiao smiled, satisfied.
Then she continued,
“I understand that YiYou has its own motion-sensing cabin, the YiYou X1, right?”
“I’m mainly here today to discuss the access fees for YiYou X1.”
“Oh, no need to worry about that, President Shen.” Yan Sheng waved his hand.
“Our YiYou X1 access fees are definitely more competitive than other motion-sensing cabin brands.”
“Plus, given our current relationship, as the company president, I can even offer your company a discount.”
Yan Sheng was a straight shooter.
Seeing that Shen Miaomiao was dead set on going all-in on motion-sensing cabins, he didn’t hold back—just laid everything out on the table. His approach was all about honesty and speed.
“For each game, the access fee is 70,000 yuan, one-time payment.”
“The revenue share percentage is the same as the platform standard—20%.”
Then, Yan Sheng added with a shift in tone,
“Of course, if President Shen is truly serious about launching on our YiYou X1, I can get a special approval as president and give you an 85% discount. That would bring the access fee down to 59,000 yuan.”
“As for the revenue share, I can also apply to the head office and potentially shave off another one or two percentage points.”
He was being completely upfront—laying out all the cards on the table.
But!
Shen Miaomiao frowned slightly.
“That’s it???”
