Chapter 375 Welcome to the Neighborhood

March 18th, Friday.

Shang Yang Games.

Lin Wan played with an ottoe1 phone in her hand, thoroughly enjoying it.

"Actually, once you get used to it, it doesn't feel so heavy anymore."

"And at first, I felt like I couldn't control the large screen with one hand, but now I feel very cramped looking at things on a small screen."

"The high refresh rate screen and large battery are things you can't go back to once you've used them."

"It seems that CEO Pei thought very carefully and had a lot of foresight when deciding on the phone's research and development direction."

Lin Wan used to use Shenhua's flagship phone. She was a little uncomfortable after switching to the ottoe1, but she slowly got used to it over the past few days.

She even played gog for a few days and spent some money on an account with all the skins.

Summing up this phase of work, Lin Wan was filled with emotion.

She hadn't had an easy time these past few months. Being responsible for both Shang Yang Games and Otto Technologies was indeed a bit overwhelming.

Especially since she was in charge of developing a horror game at Shang Yang Games, which made it even more difficult.

Fortunately, she took a few core members to famous haunted houses abroad for repeated experiences, plus the help of the great Ruan Guangjian and CEO Pei's finishing touches at the last moment. *BeQuiet* was finally completed.

Although the sales weren't a huge hit, the word-of-mouth was excellent, so it could be a slow and steady earner. CEO Pei should be satisfied, right?

As for the phone, Lin Wan had no choice but to trust Chang You due to her limited availability.

However, Lin Wan proposed a plan to increase the phone's premium by using Tengda's various benefits, and she also negotiated with various departments, which contributed greatly to the phone's success.

In short, Lin Wan was quite satisfied with her work during this period!

Although there were still some minor flaws, such as *BeQuiet*'s sales not exploding, and the ottoe1 phone's main sales still being concentrated in Jingzhou, especially among Tengda Games players, not reaching the level of a legendary device or a "nail户" (die-hard, reluctant to upgrade) phone...

But hey, people always need to leave a little room for improvement.

Lin Wan felt that she was just an ordinary person in business. She couldn't compare herself to CEO Pei in everything just because she was his subordinate, as that would only make her feel discouraged and lose her motivation to work hard.

Anyway, no matter how hard she tried, she could never reach CEO Pei's level, so she might as well be down-to-earth and take things one step at a time.

The recent research and development work was considered complete, but there were still some finishing touches to be done.

For example, as an online game, *BeQuiet* needed to constantly fix bugs, optimize system functions, and continuously release new content to ensure that players wouldn't lose interest.

The ottoe1 phone also needed to be continuously updated and maintained.

Of course, the workload was definitely incomparable to the research and development phase.

Lin Wan had naturally been more relaxed recently, browsing shopping websites every day, buying a bag or something, or taking the time to play games, living a very comfortable life.

Of course, she was also waiting for CEO Pei to issue new tasks at any time.

Looking back, when CEO Pei entrusted her with the heavy responsibilities of Shang Yang Games and the phone business, Lin Wan instinctively felt that she couldn't do it and would definitely mess it up.

But now it seemed that everything was going smoothly!

Lin Wan couldn't help but sigh. It seemed that CEO Pei really had the magical ability to see the limits of his employees' potential?

It was truly amazing!

Lin Wan was already looking forward to how to show off to her family, especially Lin Yu.

"Your Shenhua phone, can you sell a flagship for eight thousand? Can you?"

"We, Tengda, can!"

Imagining Lin Yu being speechless was exciting!

Lin Wan was happily thinking when she received a message on her phone.

"Our studio will officially move to Jingzhou tomorrow. We'll be neighbors from now on, please take care of us!"

It was sent by Ruan Guangjian.

Lin Wan's eyes lit up. Had the great master finally finished dealing with all the matters of his studio in Shanghai?

That was great!

As early as December last year, when Ruan Guangjian came to Jingzhou to help design the original hero art for gog, CEO Pei had already shown a strong intention to win him over.

Whether it was inviting Master Ruan to ride the roller coaster, showing off Tengda's various benefits, or building a haunted house specifically for Master Ruan, they were all expressing the same meaning in a very subtle way.

Come to Jingzhou, Jingzhou is a good place!

And Master Ruan Guangjian had indeed gotten the point. After completing the art needs for two game projects, he returned to Shanghai and spent some time arranging the affairs of his studio.

Now, he had finally finished the arrangements and could officially move!

Lin Wan guessed that Ruan Guangjian had probably returned to Jingzhou for some time, but he probably knew that the work tasks at Tengda were heavy and didn't want to cause trouble, so he hadn't said anything, but was just quietly handling things like renting a house and purchasing office supplies.

Now that he had settled these things, he was officially notifying them.

Lin Wan quickly asked, "Does CEO Pei know about this?"

Ruan Guangjian: "I sent him a message, but CEO Pei is probably very busy and hasn't replied to me yet."

Lin Wan nodded silently. She estimated that CEO Pei was really busy, otherwise he would have expressed a warm welcome to Master Ruan as soon as possible and arranged a series of reception work.

She wondered what CEO Pei was busy with.

Since that was the case, she shouldn't bother CEO Pei for now.

Ruan Guangjian had also helped a lot in the development of the game *BeQuiet*. As the person in charge of Shang Yang Games, Lin Wan should also express her welcome and gratitude to him.

"Master, where is your studio located? I'll take Ye Zhizhou and the others to visit immediately," Lin Wan asked.

Soon, Ruan Guangjian sent over a location.

Lin Wan clicked on the map and couldn't help but be stunned.

"Huh? Isn't this... across from Mo Yu Internet Cafe's Handong University branch?"

...

A two-story commercial building just across the street from Mo Yu Internet Cafe's Handong University branch.

This used to be a bookstore, relying on the location advantage of Handong University to sell some best-selling books, teaching assistant books, and so on for profit, but with the rise of online shopping in recent years, the bookstore's business situation had been deteriorating.

This bookstore was already considered one of the more persistent ones among many bookstores, but it was still difficult to resist the tide of online shopping and silently closed its doors.

At this time, the books, furniture, and so on in the bookstore had been moved away, and after a simple construction, sets of high-end office desks and chairs were moved in.

Some pedestrians stopped to watch, but it seemed that this was not a shop, so they lost interest and dispersed.

In the Mo Yu Internet Cafe across the street, Pei Qian was drinking coffee and thinking about life.

Yesterday's conversation with CEO Li had hit him hard, so he couldn't help but disappear for another day.

He didn't even feel like settling accounts with He Desheng and Yu Pingan.

Thinking carefully, there were so many successful projects that it seemed a bit unreasonable to only arrange those two.

As the saying goes, lice don't itch if there are too many, and debts don't worry if there are too many. If there were too many employees who stabbed him in the back, the mentality of holding grudges would slowly fade away.

Pei Qian discovered a very serious problem in the company's management.

The first-place elimination system seemed to be no longer enough...

In the face of so many profitable projects, simply eliminating the person in charge of the most profitable project was already difficult to affect the overall situation.

He had to think of another way.

Pei Qian drank his coffee and pondered countermeasures with a bit of melancholy.

During the process of disappearing, some people had tried to contact him, but Pei Qian neither looked at nor replied to them.

Mainly, he was afraid that seeing any bad news would break his mood and affect his thinking about how to turn profits into losses.

And his subordinates had obviously gotten used to CEO Pei's elusive attitude. Even if CEO Pei didn't reply, they would complete their tasks independently.

Pei Qian noticed the movement of the two-story shop across the street. The bookstore had closed its doors as early as two weeks ago, but it had been renovated in the past two days. He didn't know which brave soul had come to take over.

In fact, this place couldn't be said to be a good location, otherwise Pei Qian wouldn't have chosen it when he was selecting the location for this Mo Yu Internet Cafe.

However, recently, due to the popularity of Mo Yu Internet Cafe in the surrounding area, some people felt that opening a shop in this place was profitable.

But Pei Qian was still not optimistic.

"Maybe they won't last three months before they close down again. They won't be neighbors for long."

"Ah, I envy them."

Pei Qian had thought about taking over this bookstore before, but after trying for several cycles, he had initially figured out a basic fact: it seemed that most of the projects that were losing money would eventually make money as long as he took over.

Shang Yang Games was like this, and so was *Xueba Kuai Lai*...

It seemed that CEO Pei was just observing, then the project would continue to lose money, but once CEO Pei started to intervene, the project would start to turn a profit.

Considering that a broken bookstore couldn't lose much money no matter what, Pei Qian didn't make up his mind to take over, so someone else had beaten him to it.

"Forget it, it doesn't matter to me who opens the shop."

"The amount of losses I need to complete now can't be achieved by simply taking over a bookstore."

"I'd better hurry up and think about how to lose money this cycle..."

Pei Qian took a sip of coffee and turned his head.

However, at this moment, he noticed out of the corner of his eye that several familiar figures had come to the door of the two-story shop.

Lin Wan, Ye Zhizhou, Hu Xianbin, Chen Kangtuo...

"Huh?"

Pei Qian almost thought he was seeing things. He turned his head and looked carefully. That's right, the one leading the way was Lin Wan!

What were they doing here?

Pei Qian was wondering when he saw Ruan Guangjian walk out, greet them warmly, and welcome them all in.

Pei Qian: "???"

The scene in front of him made him feel a little magical.

He rubbed his eyes and saw that the newly hung signboard on the second floor was painted with an artistic logo and some artistic characters.

Guang Huan Studio (Halo Studio)!

The hand holding Pei Qian's coffee couldn't help but tremble.

Damn... they moved over so quickly???
