At the start, I tricked the school beauty, and ended up with twins?-Chapter 483 - 452: Blowing Up the Internet

On the big screen at the Modu Bund, a video was looping.

"’Tomorrow’ is about to launch its closed beta, and we’re recruiting a thousand paid testers from various industries who have a clear understanding of their personal labels."

"Hello there, my name is Li Xiang, and I’d like to invite you to take a look at ’Tomorrow’."

"We hope that here, you can find your second life!"

"Thirteen thousand personality tags, endless random plot directions..."

The video first showed an extremely cool CG of a wasteland-style city, then the camera slowly focused on a street in the city center, where a teenager with headphones over his shoulders, dressed in black hip-hop attire, was speaking.

Tourists playing at the Bund stopped and turned to look at the big screen upon hearing the voice.

They were curious that a company would advertise a game in such a place.

And it was looped advertising, no less—talk about financial clout!

At 300,000 yuan an hour, it could be said that every second was burning money!

"This company really throws around money!"

"The CG looks fun to play!"

"Hope it’s not another case of great CG, terrible gameplay."

"Judging by the quality of the CG, looks like 3A, huh!? Ideal Paradise? Never heard of this company."

"Isn’t it that company that developed the Divine Dragon minigame?"

"A minigame company developing such an impressive blockbuster?"

Passersby under the big screen were abuzz with discussion.

Many were pointing at the screen, chattering away.

In the crowd, a middle-aged man carrying a briefcase suddenly stopped, his face a complex mixture of emotions as he watched the advertisement on the screen.

"That was quick..." Chen Qiao murmured to himself as he watched the CG.

"Mr. Chen, what’s wrong?" His assistant caught up and asked, seeing Chen Qiao standing still.

"Nothing, let’s hurry back. We have to convene a project meeting urgently."

Chen Qiao came back to his senses, shook his head at her, and continued to hurry on his way. Continue reading at novelbuddy

Two hours later—

"Don’t you feel ashamed?"

"Do you think the Shengda Group is big enough now that you can all just rest on your laurels?"

"All along, although I didn’t address it, you all know very well how many people in the entire group are actually working?"

At the Shengda Group’s senior management meeting, Chen Qiao stood at the podium, angrily criticizing everyone present.

Everyone was silent, and many still didn’t understand why this meeting was called.

"Wasn’t the working general manager already fired?"

"And the department head..."

People whispered among themselves below.

Chen Qiao heard what they were saying and his expression instantly darkened.

Ever since he had fired the general manager and the head of the marketing department, such comments had been a continual presence within the company.

He initially did it to keep control of the group in his own hands, but now he realized that the vast Shengda Group was not something he could manage alone.

"No matter what happened before or what you are thinking now, this time I hope everyone will work together to make Shengda shine once more!"

Chen Qiao didn’t scold those people, but pretended not to hear and continued delivering his speech.

This time, he truly intended to do something big.

No one responded, but many people lifted their heads to look at him, wanting to know what he meant by "shine once more."

Wasn’t Shengda already shining?

Even in decline, Shengda was still Modu’s leading internet company, a company countless people were desperate to join.

"I know what you’re thinking," Chen Qiao returned to the podium, speaking as he pressed a button on the lectern. "But past glory must never be an excuse for us to stand still."

Chen Qiao turned around, and the white curtain on the wall behind him slowly parted from the center and drew aside to both sides.

A massive screen unfurled before everyone’s eyes.

This chapt𝒆r is updated by frёewebηovel.cѳm.

"Dada, turn on the screen."

Chen Qiao shouted at the screen.

A bright white line suddenly appeared in the middle of the screen, and after a brief tremble, it transitioned to the boot-up screen.

"Load our project PPT from today’s discussion with Tencent onto the big screen,"

Chen Qiao instructed his assistant.

The assistant immediately got to work.

Meanwhile, Chen Qiao turned to look at the group of journalists and media personnel at the back of the meeting room, their hands filled with various cameras, recording the content of the meeting. Most of them were invited by him, specifically to cover today’s meeting.

More precisely, this was both a meeting and a press conference.

"To all the journalists over there, please pay close attention to the upcoming new game announcement from Shengda!"

Chen Qiao said with a smile.

The journalists looked at each other in confusion. They were only told that Shengda had some major news to announce when Chen Qiao invited them today.

Could it be the launch of a new game?

Developing games was Shengda’s core business, as almost everyone knew.

But over the years, as Shengda expanded its business portfolio, Shengda Game had become a relatively smaller subsidiary of the company.

Even though they released a nostalgia game every so often, it was the first time they held a full senior management meeting specifically for a game announcement.

Could they truly be debuting a major title?

Instantly, the journalists aimed their cameras squarely at the large screen in the center.

"What, our company is releasing a big game? How come I don’t know about this?"

"Mr. Zheng, what kind of big move did Shengda Game make behind everyone’s back?"

"Feels like the Chairman is really about to do something big this time, huh?"

While everyone was asking him, Zheng Shou too was completely bewildered.

He hadn’t heard about the game department developing any new games recently, let alone anything worthy of a personal announcement by the Chairman.

He was currently the General Manager of Shengda Game; it was impossible for there to be a project that could have been kept from him!

Seeing the eager anticipation in the eyes of over a hundred people, Chen Qiao finally felt a measure of comfort in his heart.

"Chairman, the upload is complete,"

the assistant whispered to him.

Chen Qiao’s smile remained, and he nodded, "Okay, then play it!"

"Yes, Chairman!"

The assistant pressed the Enter key on the laptop, and the pre-prepared introduction video began playing on the big screen.

Shengda & Tencent join forces! Crafting a top-notch domestic post-apocalyptic 3A game masterpiece!

The bold headline appeared first.

Those seated below instantly grew restless.

Tencent?

Hadn’t Shengda always had a somewhat adversarial relationship with Tencent?

How come they were now collaborating? And jointly developing a game?

"Quick, quick, quick, explosive news! Shengda is actually cooperating with their arch-nemesis Tencent!"

The journalists below suddenly realized the tremendous newsworthiness of the event, as the flash of cameras filled the conference hall.

Joint development | Post-apocalyptic disaster epic 3A masterpiece "The Day After Tomorrow"

"This time, our ’The Day After Tomorrow’ will definitely set the internet ablaze!"

Chen Qiao declared confidently.

Little did he know, an elderly figure lurked in a dark corner, and upon hearing his declaration, he sighed, put his hands behind his back, and left.
