Chapter 161: The Director's Little Wife
In Japan, Gu Sheng worked at full speed to preside over the project development .
Back home, Shen Miaomiao was also not idle.
Yes.
Ever since Gu Sheng flew to Japan, Shen Miaomiao has become the real helmsman of Golden Wind.
The president of a company becomes the actual helmsman of the company only after the chief director leaves.
It sounds strange.
But this is the case with Golden Wind.
While Shen Miaomiao was at the helm, she also came to realize a truth more and more clearly—
This family can’t live without Lao Gu!!!
"External aspects of the company——"
"Yiyou sent a message yesterday that they have begun preparing for the year-end promotion in November. Our four PC games, "Cat Rio", "Who's the Daddy", "Vampire Survivor" and "Overcooked", will be included in the promotion."
"In addition, "Left 4 Dead" and "Phasmophobia", as games on the first-generation somatosensory cabin platform, will also participate in this promotion."
"Whether to hold a special event, whether to participate in promotional activities, and the intensity range of the promotional activities, Yiyou needs your confirmation,"
"Inside the company—"
"The second quarter sales summary of Titanfall is out. Please take a look at it when you have time."
"The official PVP game launched last quarter by Left 4 Dead was well received by players. The Operations Department is planning to hold an official event. We need your approval on the event format and event plan."
"APEX project player feedback and word of mouth continue to rise. Shark Live Platform contacted us and wants to hold a streamer challenge. We need your confirmation,"
"The new season of the PUGB project has been updated, and a pass system has also been added. A new map and a new mode have also been updated. Please confirm..."
Listening to Chu Qingzhou's report, Shen Miaomiao felt her head buzzing!
What kind of life did Lao Gu lead in the past?
I have been working, working, working since I opened my eyes in the morning.
How come it’s already 3:30 in the afternoon and there is still so much work waiting for me to deal with?
I am busy here and there, like a brick in the revolution, moving wherever I am needed.
As a result, after patching up the east wall and the west wall, he was so busy that he became like a spinning top, and it was a pity that the work did not decrease.
Why the hell are there more and more of them!
I really am not cut out to be a boss.
I'm sorry, Comrade Lao Shen, I disappoint you. This is the situation in our family. I'm a hero but my daughter is a coward.
If I really have some filial piety, the best I can do is to help you find a son-in-law who can stand on his own feet.
I can’t do it anymore. I’m just a worthless person. I’m going to die.
Thinking of this, Shen Miaomiao waved her hands painfully, signaling Chu Qingzhou to stop reciting. This job was more painful than his mother's tight spell:
"Take a break, Sister Chuchu, I need to rest for a while..."
Seeing Shen Miaomiao's pale face, Chu Qingzhou was also shocked: "Miaomiao, are you okay?"
"It's okay, I'm just tired..."
Taking the water handed over by Chu Qingzhou, Shen Miaomiao took a sip and then lay down on the desk, looking pitiful:
"Sister Chuchu, do you think Lao Gu is also so exhausted every day?"
"This...in terms of workload, it should be like this,"
Chu Qingzhou thought for a moment:
"But Director Gu has a deep understanding of the game market and related industries. He should be more comfortable handling these matters."
"Why--"
Shen Miaomiao sighed:
"That's true."
Seeing Shen Miaomiao's appearance, Chu Qingzhou chuckled.
He looked at Shen Miaomiao with a sly look and teased, "What? Are you thinking about Director Gu?"
"Of course...!"
Shen Miaomiao hesitated and twisted her shoulders unnaturally:
"If Lao Gu was here, all these tasks would have been solved before I got here. As the backbone of the company, I... of course I want him to come back quickly to share my worries!"
"uh-huh?"
Chu Qingzhou snorted ambiguously and raised his eyebrows:
"You only think about work?"
A blush suddenly appeared on Shen Miaomiao's pale face. She turned her head and pointed at Chu Qingzhou with the back of her head: "Then...what other aspects can there be!"
"How would I know if I went there? You should ask yourself, Miss."
Chu Qingzhou gave a cryptic laugh, then stopped teasing her, stood up and said:
"Okay, think about it for a while. I'll send you the pending items later . Remember to deal with them."
"good……"
Shen Miaomiao responded weakly and raised her hand to wave.
Then, there was a click of the office door and Chu Qingzhou left.
well--
With a light sigh, Shen Miaomiao managed to prop herself up and climbed up from the table, only to feel a sharp pain in her shoulders and neck.
If I had known this would happen, I would have bought one for myself when I bought a massager for Lao Gu.
While mumbling, Shen Miaomiao unlocked her phone, logged into WeChat, and opened the chat page with Gu Sheng.
On that page , there were records of video calls every day, from ten minutes at the beginning, to twenty minutes later, and then to an hour.
In the background of the chat was a photo of Gu Sheng sleeping on the sofa in the Bulgari Hotel that day, with herself making faces next to him.
Shen Miaomiao watched and laughed.
But it’s a pity that even though I have known Lao Gu for such a long time and even have been sharing a house for such a long time, this is the only photo of the two of us together.
Thinking of this, Shen Miaomiao smacked her lips.
Maybe I could buy a Polaroid camera?
This way, when the two of you travel together in the future, you can take more photos together.
Um.
Shen Miaomiao nodded.
I'll buy a Polaroid camera when Lao Gu comes back.
Just thinking about it!
Suddenly, the phone vibrated.
A strange yet familiar name popped up——
[Yuki: How are you doing recently, Miaomiao? ]
It’s Yuki Kamikawa!
It turned out that when Shen Miaomiao was a sophomore, Yuki Kamikawa came to Jinling University as an exchange student from Waseda University.
As luck would have it, there were only three people in Shen Miaomiao's dormitory at that time, so it was not full.
So, the exchange student Yuki became Shen Miaomiao's roommate.
Yuki is one year older than Shen Miaomiao. The two girls of similar age quickly became good friends and could talk about almost anything.
However, since the exchange student study abroad period is only one semester, Yuki returned to Japan after just half a year.
Gradually, the two girls had less contact due to their respective studies, life and other trivial matters.
Shen Miaomiao scrolled through the chat history and found that the last time they chatted was three years ago!
And now, Yuki's sudden appearance obviously evoked Shen Miaomiao's past memories, and her eyes lit up -
[Meow Meow: Ignore Yuki! I'm OK, how about you? Is everything going well in Japan? ]
original!
Shen Miaomiao wanted to exchange pleasantries with Yuki and talk about recent developments.
But!
Yuki, a straightforward mixed-race girl with a princess cut, had no intention of greeting!
A voice message was sent directly!
"Don't we mean 'make do' in Chinese?"
"But aren't you Director Gu's little wife?!"
"Marrying such a charming gentleman is still just 'making do'?"
"Or is it that Director Gu's long business trip has made you miss him so much, dear?!"
Shen Miaomiao: ???
Wife? Director Gu? Lovesickness?
You are talking nonsense! Yuki you are talking pure nonsense!
Shen Miaomiao sat up with a thud, her heart pounding!
What is going on?
Director Gu, is he talking about Old Gu?
Yuki works at Konami now?
How did I become Director Gu’s little wife?
"Uh...I...ah?"
Shen Miaomiao held up her phone and sent a voice message:
"The Director Gu you're talking about... is that Gu Sheng? Sam?"
"Of course!"
Yuki from Japan replied:
"Although it's a bit rude, I accidentally saw the photo of you and Director Gu. You are so happy now..."
As she spoke, Shen Miaomiao's phone vibrated and a picture was sent to her.
It was the photo of her leaning lightly on Gu Sheng’s shoulder!
Pupil earthquake!
"This...this is...where did you see it?"
Shen Miaomiao has now confirmed that Director Gu is Old Gu, and Yuki works in Old Gu's team!
"Oh, it's Director Gu's wallet compartment,"
Yuki's voice message came over:
"He gave me his wallet and asked me to come out and buy some things."
Snap!
Shen Miaomiao only felt like a thunderclap above her head!
Lao Gu actually gave his wallet to Yuki!
At this moment, Shen Miaomiao's mental picture was -
Yuki's eyes were full of seduction: "Director~ I'm suddenly in a bad mood today~"
Gu Sheng, with a domineering smile, handed the wallet to Yuki: "I can't do anything with you, little devil. Use my card to buy a few bags to cheer yourself up."
At this time, Shen Miaomiao's brain supplement BGM——
For all the pain of love, for all the pain of hate...
I'm just imagining it.
Yuki's voice came again:
"I was just bringing a cup of tea for Director Gu, and I saw it by accident. I hope I didn't offend you, Miaomiao?"
...I mean, you're overthinking it.
Shen Miaomiao stuck out her tongue and said hurriedly:
"Um... it's not what you think. We're not married, and we haven't even started dating officially..."
"… This is a long story. Is it convenient for you to call now…"
Girls always have endless phone calls.
Especially for Yuki and Shen Miaomiao, who are good friends who haven't seen each other for many years, both of them have a lot to share.
At this time, Gu Sheng, who was sitting in the cubicle, said:
Where's my tea?
Where did Yuki go to buy tea?
Did she run away with the money?
The little money in my wallet isn't worth it, right?
Why haven't you come up yet?
So thirsty...
…
As the days go by!
The weather is getting cooler.
However, the temperature of the Japanese game market has gradually increased and it has become more and more lively.
The annual Tokyo International Game Fair in Japan is only half a month away.
The major game manufacturers participating in the exhibition became increasingly agitated and began their own publicity and promotion.
Among them, Konami is the strongest in Japan.
After all, it is Japan's largest comprehensive digital entertainment company and one of the largest exhibitors at the Tokyo Game Festival.
Konami's every move has been watched by many media.
In addition, Konami has now started its own promotional marketing.
For a time, Konami's games were everywhere in the Japanese game market.
And in these games!
There are only two models, which attract much attention!
The first one is "Yakuza", which was produced by Konami's well-known producer Yamamoto Tsuna.
This is a story-based, stand-alone 3A masterpiece that combines shooting and racing, with a total development cost budget of over 100 million US dollars.
Yes, the development cost alone is $100 million.
Generally speaking, the marketing and promotion costs of a game are usually the same as or even higher than the development costs.
In this case, the total cost of this "Yakuza" is conservatively estimated to be around 200 million US dollars.
But I think so.
A game that brings together the two mainstream game types of "shooting" and "racing", and integrates the unique Japanese Yakuza elements. In addition, Yamamoto Tsuna is a veteran of two Konami dynasties with outstanding military achievements, and is regarded as Konami's top general.
It seems reasonable to be able to obtain such generous costs and resources.
As for another highly anticipated game!
It was "Silent Hill" produced by Gu Sheng, who was the special chief director.
The reason why it has attracted so much attention is simple:
First of all, this is Konami’s comeback work after continuous losses in the horror game market, and it will once again impact the horror game market!
Secondly, this game was overhyped, with Konami even calling it "the most insurmountable benchmark in horror game history"!
Finally, this bragging was made by Gu Sheng.
The last time Gu Sheng boasted about it was that it had “the greatest level design in gaming history.”
That's Titanfall.
And the last time he boasted was about "making shooting games great again."
That refers to the second generation of FPS that was founded.
and!
This time, Gu Sheng is once again working on a horror game.
It is another psychological horror work after "Phasmophobia".
Even according to him, this "Silent Hill" far exceeds "Phasmophobia" in terms of conception and horror.
[Silent Hill is the most standard and top psychological horror work in my mind. ]
Take a look at the history of game development!
No mature game maker has ever dared to publicly make such exaggerated praise for his own game!
Too crazy!
It's even so crazy that it sounds like something only a crazy layman would say!
But it just so happens!
Gu Sheng is also a professional game designer!
What’s even more outrageous is that he has achieved many amazing results!
So!
Bragging becomes real bragging.
Although Konami has not given much support to the promotion of Silent Hill, media players and peers have shown great interest in and expectations for this game!
It is even almost on par with "Yakuza", which has received all kinds of publicity!
All these discussions and high expectations undoubtedly made Yamamoto Tsuna feel a little uncomfortable.
You must know!
"Jido Drive" has everything going for it, not only does it include two popular game types, but it also has the people and money, and it has a lot of publicity, which is why it is being discussed so hotly today!
But "Silent Hill" is just an unpopular horror game, but it has such high popularity, even approaching that of the main games!
The most important thing is that Gu Sheng has not used the second-generation FPS mode and Titanfall level concept to compete with "The Rise of Skyrim" this time.
This made Yamamoto Tsuna even more uncomfortable.
It felt like he and Gu Sheng were both senior Chinese teachers, and near the end of the year they had to prepare an open class to compete for the qualification of the Outstanding Teacher of the Year.
Yamamoto Tsuna worked hard and prepared for the lesson overnight, and finally prepared a Chinese class that won the applause of the leaders and the satisfaction of the students.
But Gu Sheng just casually gave a physiology and health care class, and he also received a standing ovation!
It's not even a major subject, and you don't specialize in teaching physical health care!
Why?!
Yamamoto Tsuna was very angry.
And this resentment is also mixed with strong jealousy.
But fortunately.
Gu Sheng is just a "guest teacher" and not an official employee of the "school".
In this way.
Yamamoto Tsuna has a lot of room for maneuver...
