Agreeing to Create Bad Games, What the Hell Is ‘Titanfall’? Chapter 192: This Family Won’t Last Without Old Gu!

Shen Miaomiao was very willing to spend money!

After all, if Old Shen could accumulate goodwill like a ga NPC by receiving gifts, then giving even more valuable gifts was sothing Shen Miaomiao considered worthwhile.

Because if Old Shen’s goodwill reached the maximum, they could obtain a top-tier protection buff.

This wasn’t sothing money could buy.

However, Gu Sheng thought this was inappropriate.

It wasn’t about who paid the money.

As soone who had spent many years in the workplace in a previous life and had experience working in multiple dostic and international companies, Gu Sheng was well-versed in the art of gift-giving.

Especially when giving gifts to the big boss of a company, there had to be a limit.

Not too cheap, but not too expensive either!

Cheap gifts were obviously unacceptable; no one respected cheap stuff.

But if the gift was too expensive, it would leave a bad impression on the boss.

He would feel like the wool was being pulled over his eyes—that the money he earned was being used to buy gifts that were then offered back to him!

Although!

This logic was completely unfair and made no sense.

But it was undeniable that many company bosses had this capitalist mindset.

They believed every penny earned by their employees was squeezed out from between their own fingers.

That was why bizarre theories like “996 is a blessing” and “employees can’t be paid too much” existed.

As a seasoned corporate worker, Gu Sheng understood these twists and turns very well.

The most crucial thing was, he was so young but had already beco a vice president of the company, earning an annual salary of 1.5 million plus year-end bonuses.

Who knew if Shen Wanlin disliked him and would directly intervene, cutting Little Nezha’s personnel appointnt and salary?

However!

When Shen Miaomiao heard Gu Sheng’s words, she furrowed her brows:

“Gu Sheng, your ideological awareness is a bit low,”

“Let alone Golden Wind having absolute autonomous decision-making power,”

“Just looking at your current treatnt,”

“Wasn’t it true that XunTeng spent 1.2 million to poach you before?”

“Isn’t the company’s capital growth 1,350 tis in two years?”

“All the facts are laid out here. I believe any sane company leader would have no reason to question your salary.”

Gu Sheng shrugged, thinking to himself that if she could see his previous life, it would surely open her eyes wide.

“So,”

Shen Miaomiao patted Gu Sheng’s shoulder:

“Comrade Gu, don’t belittle yourself. Old Shen isn’t that kind of unscrupulous boss!”

“Besides! I’m backing you! Everything is under my protection! Leave it all to !”

At this point,

Gu Sheng took a deep breath: “Alright! Then I’ll transfer the money to you. Let’s go.”

...

“The total is 63,800 yuan, including service fees, reserved for 10 o’clock. Here’s the invoice for your review.”

At the sa ti, in the sole villa of Binjiang No.1 Building King, a man in a suit, wearing rimless glasses and around forty-five or forty-six years old, respectfully handed the invoice to the middle-aged man seated in the main position on the sofa, whose temples were slightly graying.

This was Li Heng, the chief secretary of the Shen Capital Chairman’s secretariat.

The middle-aged man on the sofa was naturally Shen Wanlin.

“Hmm… good.”

Shen Wanlin took the invoice from Li Heng, glanced over it symbolically, and nodded.

“Uh... Boss,”

Li Heng asked cautiously:

“For today’s table, who’s coming?”

The invoice he had just handed Shen Wanlin was from the “Wangjiang Yunju” restaurant in Binjiang.

As one of the few top Chinese restaurants nationwide with both “intangible cultural heritage” and “Michelin three-star” dual certifications, Wangjiang Yunju’s prices were notoriously high.

For example, today’s table: three cold dishes, four hot dishes, and one soup totaled 63,800 yuan.

On average, each dish cost around seven or eight thousand yuan.

Li Heng had been Shen Wanlin’s chief attendant for nearly twenty years.

Very few people could host a family banquet of this level for the boss.

He was very curious about who the boss was inviting today.

“Inviting... honored guests.”

Shen Wanlin’s answer was vague and sowhat mysterious.

Li Heng was very curious!

But since the boss was already this evasive, he knew no matter how much he asked, he wouldn’t get any more information, so he nodded:

“Alright then, Boss, if there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave.”

After a simple greeting to Shen Wanlin, Li Heng took the elevator and left.

However, while riding down, Li Heng kept pondering about this.

Who could it be?

Even after getting into his car, Li Heng remained very curious.

A family banquet... honored guests...

Tsk.

Just then, the sound of a car approaching ca from afar.

Li Heng looked up.

He saw a pitch-black Navigator pull directly up to the Shen family garage.

Then, the passenger side door opened, and the eldest daughter, Shen Miaomiao, jumped out excitedly and ran to the garage keypad to open the door manually.

After fiddling for a while without success, the garage still wouldn’t open. Then the driver’s side window rolled down, and a young, handso man poked his head out:

“You... didn’t forget your garage password, did you?”

Then ca Shen Miaomiao’s embarrassed laughter:

“Hehe, well, it’s usually automatic. I haven’t used it in a while. Today’s an exception—it doesn’t recognize your license plate.”

Just then!

With a rumble, the garage door opened. Shen Miaomiao huffed and got in, and the car drove inside the garage.

Ssshhh—!!!

Li Heng, who had been watching secretly, gasped.

“Oh—right—”

“The son-in-law is the honored guest at the gate...”

...

Phew—

Standing in the elevator, Gu Sheng held various gifts and took a deep breath.

It wasn’t true that he wasn’t nervous.

That was Shen Wanlin.

One of the largest entrepreneurs in all of Huaguo, truly standing at the pinnacle of the pyramid!

Maybe when the elevator opened, Shen Wanlin would be standing on the second floor of the villa, looking down on him with an icy cold face like a thousand-year-old frozen ice, eyes sharp as a hawk’s, seemingly piercing his heart, and a terrifying pressure washing over him like a tidal wave, leaving him breathless.

Seeing Gu Sheng’s lips tightly pressed, looking serious, Shen Miaomiao couldn’t help but chuckle.

She poked him: “Hey! What are you thinking about? So serious?”

“I’m wondering what your dad’s first words will be,”

Gu Sheng said:

“Will he directly sign a check for : ‘I heard you’re co-renting with my daughter? Here’s a billion yuan. Get out of the apartnt imdiately and never ntion this to anyone!’”

Pfft—

Shen Miaomiao couldn’t hold back laughing inside, thinking Old Gu must have watched too many dramas: “What if he really says that? How would you respond?”

“Hmm—I’m thinking about how I’d respond,”

Gu Sheng pondered:

“Do you think it would seem insincere if I just said thanks? Maybe I should kowtow to your dad?”

“You...!!!”

Shen Miaomiao gritted her teeth and reached out to pinch Gu Sheng’s waist:

“Are you even speaking human words?”

“Hey, hey, hey, just joking...” Gu Sheng quickly dodged: “No roughhousing in the elevator!”

“Then don’t talk nonsense...”

Ding dong!

The private elevator’s arrival chi sounded, interrupting their banter.

...

Rumble.

“Ahem—!”

As the elevator doors slowly opened, Gu Sheng composed himself, ready to face the crushing pressure from one of the country’s top financial tycoons!

Bring it on!

Let the storm rage even stronger!

Having lived two lifetis, I may not be extraordinary, but I’ve seen plenty of big scenes!

So what if it’s a super tycoon!

I’ll et this magnate and pay my respects...

“Tsk, look at you, just coming here. What did you buy? Girl, you let Little Gu buy, huh? Such an expense!”

Huh?

What the hell?

Ah???

Seeing Shen Wanlin walking over with a warm smile, Gu Sheng almost twisted his waist.

Wait?

This is completely different from what I imagined!

Where’s the pressure? Where’s the billion yuan? Where’s the icy face and hawk eyes?

How can you chat so casually?

“Ah—uh—”

Even soone as street-smart as Gu Sheng was stunned:

“Hello, President Shen. I bought these myself. Little President Shen told not to spend money.”

Gu Sheng said boldly.

Shen Miaomiao cooperated by running excitedly out of the elevator, wanting to give her dad a hug:

“I didn’t tell him to spend money. He just bought things on his own, not knowing exactly what you like, so he bought everything!”

However, Shen Wanlin completely ignored her and reached out to Gu Sheng:

“Hey, I like it all. I like everything. But look at this kid, a family banquet like this is too expensive...”

Gu Sheng quickly put down the gifts and handed them over with both hands:

“As long as you like it, President Shen, I already feel presumptuous just showing up uninvited. I hope I haven’t disturbed you.”

“Ah—”

Shen Wanlin patted Gu Sheng’s hand, frowning slightly with a feigned displeasure:

“Family banquet.”

“Ah,” Gu Sheng was quick-witted: “Uncle.”

“Ah!” Shen Wanlin nodded approvingly, patting Gu Sheng’s shoulder: “Co, let’s have so tea.”

Shen Miaomiao: …

Hey! Hey!!!

I! I’m still a living person here! Can you not consider my feelings a little?!

Hey—!!!

Shen Miaomiao was dumbfounded.

anwhile, the two of them, old and young, sat down and started chatting.

“You’ve been busy lately, right,” Shen Wanlin took the tea Gu Sheng poured and lightly tapped the table: “With two projects running simultaneously, and my girl knowing little about this area, you must be under a lot of pressure.”

Just as Shen Miaomiao caught up, she overheard her dad complaining about her.

“Not bad. Little President Shen is very eager to learn and extrely serious about things she’s interested in,”

Gu Sheng glanced at the puffed-up, goldfish-like Shen Miaomiao and smiled:

“The popularity of the To the Moon project is inseparable from Little President Shen’s efforts.”

“Hehehe, you, don’t flatter her too much,”

Hearing this, Shen Wanlin sipped his tea, shook his head, and laughed:

“She’s just hot-tempered, everything she does lasts only three minutes of enthusiasm.”

Shen Miaomiao rolled her eyes and kept poking Old Shen’s shoulder behind them.

What kind of dad is this!

Didn’t Old Gu say before? Half my dals are his!

Old Gu was understanding: “Maybe she’ll get better after understanding things more deeply. Like Golden Wind, it’s almost been three years.”

“Unexpectedly good,”

Shen Wanlin agreed deeply:

“I originally just wanted to let her practice, didn’t expect it to grow to this scale,”

“Although it has little to do with her, I’m satisfied that she can hold the position.”

Shen Miaomiao: …

I can’t stay in this family for even a minute longer.

Let’s go, Old Gu, this isn’t my ho. No one here likes .

Just then Gu Sheng said: “Hey—Uncle, excuse my boldness. As soone working in the ga industry, I have to tell you sothing.”

“Oh?” Shen Wanlin raised his eyebrows slightly and nodded: “Tell . I really don’t know much about this.”

“Whether a ga company lasts depends not only on the designers but also heavily on the boss’s character,”

Gu Sheng said:

“You are the big boss. I believe you’ve heard about the situation between us and Kora,”

“The reason I dare confront a super manufacturer like Kora is because, after more than two months of an external assignnt, I found Kora’s current problem,”

“Kamikoshi Kagemasa is soone who regards profit above all else and can suppress any innovation for that reason,”

“But precisely because of this, they missed success hidden in innovation,”

“To brag a bit, I believe Golden Wind achieving a thousandfold asset growth in just two years is no small feat,”

“And the reason for this achievent is that Little President Shen is good at granting wide authority and letting people act freely,”

“She dares to release the fierce tiger from the cage. Such courage is not sothing ordinary people have,”

“The saying goes, ‘a tiger’s father never has a dog as a daughter.’ In terms of courage, Little President Shen is just like you.”

No one could flatter better than Gu Sheng!

No one could refuse such a complint!

Especially when it was well-tid, logical, and respectful of facts!

Shen Wanlin imdiately burst into laughter!

His mouth stretched all the way to the back of his head! Clapping and laughing!

“Really? Hahahahaha! Looks like my girl has so talent after all!”

“Good! Good, good!”

He said “good” several tis!

Then Shen Wanlin waved his hand!

The housekeeper cleared the table, set up the chessboard, and the two started playing chess while drinking tea, chatting about everything.

Sotis discussing the current economic situation, sotis talking about Golden Wind’s future diversification.

When Old Shen spoke of his hardships and taking risks back in the day, Gu Sheng furrowed his brows, fully engaged, and praised him repeatedly without hesitation!

When Gu Sheng talked about future developnt and ambitions, Old Shen nodded repeatedly, giving guidance and praising the young hero!

Their conversation beca lively, and the chess ga heated up.

Obviously, Shen Wanlin was much better at chess than Shen Miaomiao, and Gu Sheng was enjoying the ga!

Gu Sheng deeply understood the aning of a ‘family banquet’ and didn’t hold back. Shen Wanlin played enthusiastically!

They fought a fierce battle, intense and exhilarating!

“… Checkmate!”

Bang!

With Shen Wanlin’s red rook charging forward and the horse, cannon, and tiger eyeing threateningly from behind, Gu Sheng’s black general was trapped in a deadlock.

“Phew—”

Gu Sheng frowned, observed the situation, and sighed inwardly at Old Shen’s skill.

Just as he was about to shake his head and admit defeat,

“Counterespionage!”

Shen Miaomiao’s angry voice rang out as she grabbed Old Shen’s general and swallowed it:

“I’m Gu Sheng’s mole. You’re dead, Dad!”

“Hey, you—!”

Shen Wanlin, having just lost the upper hand, was about to win when the ga was ruined and glared at Shen Miaomiao:

“What claws? Watching chess without speaking, don’t you know? How can you ruin soone else’s ga? Who plays chess like you?”

Seeing Old Shen’s reaction, Shen Miaomiao was even angrier!

Two and a half hours!!!

I finally ca ho, and you and Gu Sheng were just playing chess, chatting, laughing, and occasionally dragging out for criticism!

I can’t say a single word?

He’s your son, I’m your daughter?

If you like him so much, you might as well recognize him as your youngest!

Hands on hips: “I play chess like this! I’ve beaten Gu Sheng many tis this way! He never got mad! You’re only mad this once! I don’t like you anymore!”

After saying this, she crossed her arms, turned her back to Old Shen, and sulked.

Old Shen pointed at Shen Miaomiao and asked Gu Sheng: “That’s what a spoiled woman looks like, just like her mom! Can you tolerate her?!”

“Just... sotis,” Gu Sheng chuckled: “Little President Shen is still very popular and well-liked in the company.”

Shen Miaomiao was about to cry!

I used to think the Golden Wind family wouldn’t last without Old Gu!

But now!

In this original family with Comrade Old Shen!

Even without Old Gu, it’s still going to fall apart—!!!
