Chapter 355 What Did Lin Wan Do?

"President Pei, what can I do for you..."

Over the phone, Zhou Muyan's voice sounded a little weak.

Since their parting in Yangcheng at the end of last year, Pei Qian and Zhou Muyan had not been in contact.

Mainly because the results of the two games, "Sea Fortress" and "Bullet Marks," were so far apart, making their already fragile relationship even more so.

"Sea Fortress" had become the undisputed number one domestic FPS game, with a huge user base that was still expanding. Its competitors had long since shifted from other domestic FPS games to "Counter Terrorism Project."

On the other hand, after the initial overwhelming publicity, "Bullet Marks" saw its popularity slowly decline. Although it was still maintaining stable operation and profitability, it was clearly far from reaching Zhou Muyan's expected goals, and the gap with "Sea Fortress" was widening.

The design concepts of these two games were vastly different. When Tenda came to inspect Tianhuo Studio, Zhou Muyan had proudly shared the design philosophy of "Bullet Marks" with everyone.

At that time, Zhou Muyan was full of confidence.

And Pei Qian sat in the audience, smiling, nodding frequently, his eyes full of approval.

But now Zhou Muyan knew that President Pei was all acting!

When "Sea Fortress" was first launched, Zhou Muyan didn't take it seriously, but as its data continued to soar, Zhou Muyan realized that something was wrong.

A little investigation revealed that the development of "Sea Fortress" was almost simultaneous with that of "Bullet Marks." When Tenda came to inspect Tianhuo Studio, "Sea Fortress" was already almost finished!

Zhou Muyan couldn't help but feel a chill.

President Pei had long seen the problems with "Bullet Marks," but he nodded frequently in the audience, pretending that nothing was happening.

So scheming!

So after that, Pei Qian didn't take the initiative to contact Zhou Muyan, mainly because he was afraid that Zhou Muyan would misunderstand that he was flaunting;

And Zhou Muyan would never take the initiative to contact Pei Qian, he couldn't afford to lose face...

So it was only now that the two people reconnected.

As for why Zhou Muyan answered the phone...

There was no other way, he still had to give President Pei some face.

After all, Tenda had already been commended by the authorities, and they were both in the industry. Zhou Muyan couldn't deliberately antagonize President Pei.

But answering this call was somewhat reluctant.

Pei Qian could feel Zhou Muyan's resentment, fearing that he would say something wrong and stimulate his fragile little heart, so he quickly got to the point.

"President Zhou, sorry to bother you. I mainly wanted to ask about something. Do you... know Lin Wan's identity?"

Zhou Muyan was stunned for a moment.

Of course he knew Lin Wan's identity. The day after Lin Wan joined Tianhuo Studio, the president's office of Shenhua Group directly called Zhou Muyan.

If he remembered correctly, Lin Wan had been working at Tenda for several months.

Could it be that President Pei still doesn't know Lin Wan's identity?

That doesn't make sense, right?

Zhou Muyan was a little confused and asked back, "Doesn't President Pei know?"

Pei Qian felt even colder.

Zhou Muyan said that, obviously confirming that Lin Wan's identity was extraordinary!

Pei Qian cleared his throat twice: "President Zhou, to be honest, I'm having some problems now, and I hope you can lend a hand. I will be very grateful!"

Zhou Muyan quickly said: "You're too kind, President Pei. Just ask anything, and I will definitely tell you everything I know!"

Pei Qian asked, "President Zhou, could you tell me in detail what is the relationship between Lin Wan and her family, and why did she enter the game industry?"

Zhou Muyan was a little puzzled.

President Pei didn't even know this?

It seemed that the president's office of Shenhua Group hadn't called President Pei?

This was a bit strange.

But Zhou Muyan didn't think much about it and told the inside story he knew in detail.

Lin Wan was the youngest daughter of Lin Zhengnan, the president of Shenhua Group. She had an older sister and two older brothers. After graduating, out of love for the game industry, she found a job at Tianhuo Studio.

And Lin Zhengnan obviously didn't support Lin Wan's involvement in the game industry, but because Lin Wan was very stubborn, Lin Zhengnan didn't want to ruin their relationship, so he called Zhou Muyan, hoping that Lin Wan's game dream could be shattered as soon as possible so she would return to work at Shenhua Group.

"That's about it, President Pei. I don't know anything else." Zhou Muyan said very sincerely, "As for why they didn't call you... I don't know."

Pei Qian was silent for a moment: "Then, how is Lin Wan's relationship with her brother, Lin Zhou of Shenhua Real Estate?"

Zhou Muyan: "It is said that she only has a somewhat strained relationship with her father, but her relationship with her brother Lin Zhou is quite good."

Pei Qian felt a chill in his heart.

Okay, it all adds up!

It must be Lin Wan who asked her brother Lin Zhou to give Tenda a rent reduction. There's no way around it.

"So... President Zhou, how can we make Lin Wan leave the game industry and go back to inherit hundreds of millions of assets?" Pei Qian asked sincerely.

Zhou Muyan thought for a while: "I'm afraid we have to make her completely disappointed in the game industry."

Pei Qian was silent.

This is too difficult, isn't it?

The key is that this matter is completely contrary to Pei Qian's original goal!

Pei Qian wanted to spend more money, so he had to give more employee benefits, but this would make Lin Wan feel that Tenda was very conscientious and even less willing to leave.

Isn't this a dead end?

Now it's just a rent reduction, who knows what this little ancestor can do in the future?

"Thank you, President Zhou. I'll organize a team building another day, and I'll definitely visit and thank you in Yangcheng."

Pei Qian thought, Old Zhou is quite kind, this information is very important.

Zhou Muyan was speechless.

Come again?

Are you here to whip my corpse!

"President Pei, allow me to ask one more question, has Lin Wan done something unforgivable to your company..."

Pei Qian was silent.

He didn't know how to answer this question.

Logically speaking, Zhou Muyan had said so much, knowing everything and saying everything, and only asked this one question. If Pei Qian avoided answering, or beat around the bush, or lied... it seemed a little unkind.

Pei Qian was silent for a moment: "She... reduced our company's rent from four yuan to one yuan and fifty cents."

Zhou Muyan: "???"

…

After hanging up the phone, Pei Qian felt that the situation he was facing was unprecedentedly serious.

Pei Qian checked the leasing contracts of the Mofishes Internet Cafes as soon as possible, and after finding that they had nothing to do with Shenhua Real Estate, he was slightly relieved.

Thank goodness.

The locations of these Mofishes Internet Cafes were very remote, and they were all selected as detached buildings, while Shenhua Real Estate liked to choose urban central business districts when acquiring land, and most of them were high-end office buildings or residential areas.

The location of the Mofishes Internet Cafes well avoided Shenhua Group's industries.

If the rent of the Mofishes Internet Cafes was also waived, then Pei Qian would really vomit blood.

The problem now is, what to do with this Lin Wan.

Letting it go is definitely not an option, this is a ticking time bomb.

It's even more impossible to drive her away with overly harsh methods, it would be too obvious and would be noticed.

Even Lin Zhengnan, the president of Shenhua Group and Lin Wan's own father, couldn't do anything about her, so Pei Qian had even less of a solution.

If Lin Wan's stubborn temper came up, things might get out of hand.

The only way is, as Zhou Muyan said, to make Lin Wan lose interest in the game as much as possible.

Judging from Lin Wan's conscientious and hardworking performance in Tenda, she doesn't seem to be the kind of high-handed, psychologically fragile rich second generation, otherwise, it would be impossible to hide her identity for so long without being discovered.

This kind of person should be particularly persistent in their goals.

If the failure is caused by some external factors, I am afraid it will not be enough to frustrate her enthusiasm, but will only make her unconvinced and choose to try again.

Difficult...

Pei Qian thought for a long time, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

It seems... that Shang Yang Games, which I bought as garbage before, can be used?

So far, Shang Yang Games basically maintains the original ecology when it was acquired.

Moreover, judging from the current operating conditions, it is still continuing to lose money.

Let Lin Wan be responsible for a game project that is bound to fail. When the game really fails, she will naturally question her own abilities, and even the entire game environment.

At that time, President Pei will continue to spend money happily, and Lin Wan will go back to inherit hundreds of millions of assets. Wouldn't that be the best of both worlds?

Pei Qian thought this was a good idea.

Sure enough, many things are always foreshadowed unintentionally!
