If Le Wan were here, she would probably be able to recognize that the logo was exactly the same as the pendant in the middle of the silver chain that Zhai Jing had left in her car the other day.
Two hours later, Ren Rong came over to ask them how their first trial experience was.
Lin Hui summarized the team’s opinions into a few simple sentences. This game was popular, and they had to buy it. The company’s KPI for the next few years would depend on this game.
“No wonder you’re so optimistic about this game, President Ren.” Lin Hui was very excited as well. This game was too playable. Anyone who had played it could clearly feel its potential. As long as they operated well, they might be able to take a big piece of fat meat from the two giant games in the market.
Ren Rong decisively slammed the table.
“Since that’s the case, it’s decided. Fun Games’ next task is to mainly develop this game.
He made it clear that he was going to develop it, not bring it in. Lin Hui’s team was shocked.
He beckoned to Zhai Jing.
“Come, let me introduce you. This is the game developer, Zhai Jing.”
The closed beta team took a look at Zhai Jing’s face and then at his school uniform. It said “bright private academy”.
“Isn’t he a high school student?” They thought that it was the boss’s relative who came to the company to play. As Ren Rong did not introduce him and Zhai Jing was sitting quietly in the corner, they did not dare to run over to talk to him.
Yet, President Ren said that such a high school student was actually the developer of the game they were working on. Had they gone crazy, or had the world gone crazy?
However, it was obvious that President Ren would not joke about this matter. When they heard Ren Rong say that he had just turned 18 and that he had started to develop the game while learning at the age of 15, they immediately had an epiphany.
Hence, they were not crazy, and the world was not crazy either. It was Zhai Jing who was crazy. He was a f*cking genius!
The genius Zhai Jing had used his own abilities to conquer the people in the game company and Ren Rong. He finally did not see Zhai Jing as a child. Instead, he saw him as a business partner on the same level.
Initially, Zhai Jing planned to sell the game and use the money in exchange for his mother’s surgery. However, Ren Rong obviously valued his personal ability more and wanted to tie him to the big ship of Dahong Corporation, so he proposed a joint development.
The company bought the game’s copyright from Zhai Jing for one million Yuan. At the same time, they gave him 20% of the game’s shares and invited him to be one of the people in charge of the game and to join in the subsequent development of the game.
Zhai Jing knew very well how high the return rate of this game would be after it was launched. However, he was even more clear that with his current ability, he could not maximize the value of the game at all. The treatment that Ren Rong had given him was already quite superior, even more than what he had originally imagined, so he agreed readily.
When Zhai Jing came out of Dahong Corporation, there were already two contracts and a check in his bag.
Things were going more smoothly than expected. Zhai Jing took a look at the time. It was already past nine o’clock. The in-patient building closed at ten o’clock. It was too late for him to rush over now. Fortunately, he had already told the nurses on duty in advance to trouble them to take care of his mother tonight.
Tonight, he could only go home and stay the night.
As he sat on the bench at the bus stop, Zhai Jing looked at the long stream of cars and horses on the road and his thoughts drifted.
When his mother’s kidney was available and the surgery fees were paid, he would no longer have to work part-time to earn living expenses, nor would he have to stay up late to design games.
Everything was developing in a good direction. The burden on his shoulders had been lifted by more than half, and his body suddenly felt much more relaxed. Thinking back to life in the past few years, it was like a white foal passing through a crack. For a moment, he didn’t have to be so busy, but his heart felt a little empty for some reason.
He suddenly had the urge to talk to Le Wan and listen to her voice. Hence, he took the initiative to dial Le Wan’s cell phone number for the first time.
When the phone rang, Le Wan had just come out of the bathroom and was drying her hair when she saw his name flashing on the screen.
Le Wan picked up the call.
“It’s so late. What’s up?”
She heard a voice from the other side.
“Are you still outside? What were you busy with? It’s already so late, can you still make it back to the hospital in time?”
Zhai Jing listened to her questions quietly and only answered when she was done.
“I can’t make it in time. I’m going home to stay tonight.”
“Oh, that’s good. Are you alright?” Le Wan asked.
“Le Wan,” he called out.
“What? Yes?” Le Wan responded. He didn’t continue after calling her name. “Why are you acting so weird? What happened?”
