Ye Zhi nodded slightly, secretly relieved.
One million units was their ideal projected figure, and it could be considered a commendable achievement.
As Taoxun developed better and better, Ye Zhi had developed a bit of an image to maintain.
Although the game had already recouped its costs through various sponsorships, this was Taoxun's first foray into the single-player game market, and Ye Zhi sincerely hoped to deliver a satisfactory result.
Seeing that everything was going smoothly, Ye Zhi left the game department and returned to her office.
As soon as she reached her office, her phone rang.
The call was from Liu Lingyu, and Ye Zhi answered with some surprise.
"Xiao Zhi, can you bring Qi Xuan over for dinner sometime?" Liu Lingyu suggested.
Ye Zhi was slightly taken aback. "Mom, why are you suddenly inviting Qi Xuan for dinner?"
Liu Lingyu was somewhat exasperated. "Are we just inviting him for dinner? He made such a grand gesture with his confession, and now the whole country knows you two are dating. How can we pretend not to know? It's time you brought him home to officially meet us."
Ye Zhi chuckled. So that was the reason. She thought for a moment. "Yu Zhe will be on vacation in a couple of days, right? I'll bring Qi Xuan over after he gets back."
"Okay," Liu Lingyu agreed. She hesitated for a moment before asking, "Xiao Zhi, have you and Qi Xuan discussed when you plan to get married?"
Ye Zhi was taken aback. She said with amusement, "Mom, marriage is still a long way off! Qi Xuan and I haven't been together for that long, and we're not planning to get married so soon."
"Your father and I feel the same way. Although Qi Xuan is a good boy, you two are different from others. If you were to get married, I'm afraid sorting out the prenuptial assets alone would take quite some time. So," Liu Lingyu continued, "it's good that you spend more time together. Of course, no matter what decision you make, we will support you."
Ye Zhi felt a warmth in her heart. Ye Yongxian and Liu Lingyu were completely considering things from her perspective, without any pressure to rush into marriage.
After chatting with Liu Lingyu for a few minutes, she hung up the phone.
As soon as the call ended, her phone rang again.
This time it was Qi Xuan calling, and Ye Zhi answered once more.
"A Zhi, are you free recently? My parents want to invite you over for dinner," Qi Xuan said.
"Because of the satellite incident last night?" Ye Zhi understood.
"Mm," Qi Xuan chuckled. "My parents said that since everyone in the country already knows we're dating, it would be impolite if I didn't bring you home."
Ye Zhi asked with a hint of nervousness, "What do you think I should prepare as a gift when I visit your place?"
"I'll prepare a gift for my father, but for my mother, you'll have to figure something out yourself," Qi Xuan replied.
"Ah?" Ye Zhi looked quite bewildered. "What does Auntie want?"
"The deluxe edition of 'Renovation Simulator.' She couldn't get it today," Qi Xuan said with a slight laugh.
Ye Zhi: ...
Should she say Cheng Yi was too engrossed in games?
Of course, it wasn't difficult for her to get the deluxe edition of 'Renovation Simulator.' They had some reserved for internal employees, and there was one for her as well.
"That's no problem," Ye Zhi asked, not entirely at ease, "Is just the game enough? Won't it seem too humble?"
"A Zhi," Qi Xuan said softly, "you don't need to feel too much pressure. Just treat it as a normal meeting. Don't worry about how easy they are to get along with. You're dating me, not them. If my parents do anything that makes you uncomfortable, you tell me directly, and I'll communicate with them. As for our relationship's development, that's up to us two. They won't interfere."
Ye Zhi was slightly taken aback. She felt touched and amused. It seemed that before she had even met his parents, Qi Xuan had already managed to win them over?
"Then tonight," Ye Zhi said with a slight smile, "I think Auntie must be eager to receive the deluxe edition of the game."
"Okay," Qi Xuan replied with a soft smile and agreed.
In the evening, Ye Zhi brought the deluxe edition of the game and arrived at the Qi family's home with Qi Xuan.
A handsome middle-aged man greeted them personally. Ye Zhi didn't need to guess to recognize him as Qi Xuan's father, Qi Heng, as they looked so alike in their features and shared a similar gentle demeanor.
"A Zhi, this is my father," Qi Xuan introduced.
"Hello, Uncle!" Ye Zhi immediately handed over the high-grade tea Qi Xuan had prepared. "A small token of my appreciation."
"Thank you..." Qi Heng accepted with a smile and asked gently, "Should I call you Xiao Zhi, or should I call you CEO Ye?"
"Uncle, you can just call me Xiao Zhi," Ye Zhi replied, feeling a little awkward.
"Alright, alright," Qi Heng took out a red envelope and handed it to her. "This is a small meeting gift. Please don't think it's too little, Xiao Zhi."
Ye Zhi looked at Qi Xuan in slight surprise. Seeing him nod slightly, she then accepted it. "Thank you, Uncle."
"Come in quickly, your aunt is waiting for you inside," Qi Heng said with a smile.
The three of them entered the living room together and saw Cheng Yi holding her phone, scolding and furiously typing with her ten fingers.
"Cheng Cheng, Xiao Zhi is here," Qi Heng said.
"Ah?" Cheng Yi looked up. "Xiao Zhi, wait a moment! Let me finish scolding first!"
Ye Zhi: ...
Cheng Yi truly didn't treat her as an outsider.
"Who made Auntie angry?" Ye Zhi asked Qi Heng with a smile.
Qi Heng said, "It's about the 'Renovation Simulator' your company released recently. This afternoon, a lot of online trolls suddenly appeared, badmouthing your game. Cheng Cheng got angry and started arguing with them online."
Ye Zhi was surprised. Was there such a thing?
However, since the game department hadn't informed her, it meant that the trolls hadn't caused any major trouble, and the game department could handle it themselves without needing to bother her with such a small matter.
She took out her phone and briefly checked the situation.
[I thought Taoxun was a company with integrity, but I didn't expect them to be another greedy black-hearted company! Laughable, charging 999 for the deluxe edition of a game? Are they desperate for money?]
[The most expensive game gift boxes in China are only 399 or 599. Why does Taoxun dare to charge 999? And so many people are buying such an expensive game, these leeks are so easy to harvest!]
[Ah? We didn't buy a game, we bought building blocks! Wasn't this game a free bonus? What's so expensive about it? This deluxe gift box contains over a thousand pieces. Even similar building blocks are priced this way, aren't they? Double the joy for fans!]
[Hilarious, do people who run companies not make money? Are they doing charity instead? Of course, Taoxun has always been doing charity.]
