It's really quite perceptive.
At the same time, it indirectly shows how well she understands Jiang Chen.
The investment cost of "Divine Enthronement" may exceed any previous product by the gaming department, but it is, after all, the first AAA title domestically and is of landmark significance. Actually, regardless of whether it proves to be a commercial success in the end, as long as Zhang Guangyi can bring this game to fruition, making it a reality, that itself is already a success."
Jiang Chen showed a hint of surprise, not expecting his girlfriend to have such insight.
Li Shuru paid no heed to his gaze, "Beyond the visible economic returns, there are also hidden benefits not immediately apparent. Only by successfully launching the first AAA game can we truly showcase our hard strength to both the industry insiders and outsiders, truly establishing a position in the gaming industry and competing with traditional big gaming companies."
"Moreover, gaming is indeed very profitable. Zhang Guangyi's gaming department is currently our most profitable department. If 'Divine Enthronement' succeeds, it will undoubtedly boost the company's profits to a whole new level."
Jiang Chen chuckled in surprise.
Is this still the same cold and stunning art school queen he knew?
"Who says women with long hair have short knowledge?"
He sighed.
Li Shuru immediately shot him a glance.
"Annoying."
As soon as the words were out of her mouth, the increasingly feminine Li Shuru suddenly realized they weren't alone and glanced over at Tanki Liuli.
The other party remained silent, not even looking their way, while snacking on sunflower seeds.
Indeed,
Not just seeds, Boss Jiang brought back a large bag of snacks when he returned. Li Shuru definitely didn't have a penchant for snacking, but the Taoist nun sister liked them.
How beautiful must a woman be to leave even her fellow women in awe? Even snacking on seeds, she was riveting to watch.
"Shopping all day must've been tiring, why don't you head upstairs and rest?"
Jiang Chen suggested, showing quite the tender affection. To care for another woman in front of your girlfriend—how many brave men could pull that off? The key was that Li Shuru wasn't bothered.
Tanki Liuli was pretty obedient, standing up upon hearing the suggestion and, before going upstairs, she made sure to dump the pile of shells from her palm into the trash.
"You can take the snacks..."
Looking at the snack bag on the coffee table, Jiang Chen called out, but he was a step too late as the Taoist nun sister was already upstairs.
"Why do you like letting girls eat snacks? Eating too much at night will make you gain weight."
"It's not that I let her eat, it's just that she has a good appetite, and I'm worried she might get hungry at night."
Jiang Chen explained to his girlfriend.
"How big an appetite can a girl really have?"
Li Shuru waved it off, their time together was still relatively short.
Jiang Chen didn't say much more, thinking he'd take the snacks upstairs to the Taoist nun sister later.
"I've told Zhang Guangyi that if any company like SB approaches us again, ignore them completely."
Li Shuru nodded, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Actually, it's not just international companies like that, but domestic game manufacturers have also contacted Zhang Guangyi."
Jiang Chen was surprised, "For what?"
"To persuade him to give up the 'Divine Enthronement' project."
Jiang Chen looked at his girlfriend.
"Of course Zhang Guangyi would never agree, so those manufacturers continued with their little tricks, offering high salaries to poach members from the 'Divine Enthronement' development team, smearing 'Divine Enthronement' at every turn. It's only after 'Divine Enthronement' was mostly completed that these actions started to dwindle."
Rivals in the trade.
Or perhaps, targeting the trailblazer.
"Divine Enthronement" is bound to provoke resentment and grudges from some people as it seeks to reinvent the gaming industry.
Thank heavens for Tianci capital with its deep pockets, or perhaps it wouldn't have lasted to this point, and the 'Divine Enthronement' project might have been aborted.
There are certainly others besides Zhang Guangyi who harbor ideals and ambition tempered with sincerity and passion for this industry.
But none of them have Zhang Guangyi's luck, having a solid backing like Tianci Capital.
How many small gaming studios failed to grow before being suppressed, snuffed out, or swallowed up in acquisition?
"Those who don't advance themselves can't stand others moving forward. It's simply that their environment is too comfortable, leaving players without better choices. Zhang Guangyi and his 'Divine Enthronement' are sure to give these people a lesson. Those who don't respect their customers will eventually be weeded out by them."
Li Shuru fell silent.
Jiang Chen glanced over and saw her looking at him like an idol, her eyes sparkling.
"Looks like I'm pretty cool, huh?"
Li Shuru nodded like a pecking chick.
Boss Jiang let out a smile, then abruptly stood up, exuding tremendous boyfriend power as he lifted his girlfriend in his arms.
"After shopping all day, you must be sweaty. Let's get you to a bath."
Suspended in the air, Li Shuru patted his back repeatedly, "There are still people around!"
"She's gone to her room, she can't see."
Ignoring his girlfriend's resistance, Jiang Chen manfully carried her upstairs, opened the door with one hand, and headed straight for the bathroom before setting her down.
"You said she's a Taoist. Shouldn't you be considerate?"
Li Shuru murmured teasingly.
So that's it.
Ordinarily, she's not one to be bashful, but clearly, she's considering the Taoist nun sister's special position.
"She's a Taoist, not an immortal. How could she possibly see and hear through walls from inside the room?"
Jiang Chen didn't take it seriously, but he forgot one thing.
He didn't bring her snacks upstairs.
"Get out."
"What for?"
"I need to take a shower."
"Let's shower together."
Jiang Chen said as if it were obvious, "Save resources. I went to Tokyo this time, and because of the nuclear wastewater, you wouldn't believe how scarce water is there."
Li Shuru isn't some naive girl. She used to have suitors among rich heirs. She has seen all kinds of tricks and won't easily fall for them.
"Then you go first."
Saying that, she turned to leave, but unexpectedly, he seized her wrist and pushed her against the wall.
"Mmm..."
Her mouth was covered.
Immediately.
Water splashed.
It drenched the whole bathroom, quickly soaking their clothes.
Well.
The clothes are wet now.
There's no way to go out anymore.
Of course, whether she truly wanted to go out remains unknown since being too accommodating can easily become monotonous.
Relationships need to be nurtured and require some tactics.
Her long black hair quickly became drenched. Li Shuru closed her eyes, proactively embracing the man's strong back.
This bath lasted quite long and was very intense.
It even continued after leaving the bathroom.
Li Shuru lay on the bed, her hair not yet dry, laying like wet black clouds on the sheets. She was drenched in sweat, her cheeks flushed, eyes expressing a breathless feeling.
Her slender fingers clutched the bedsheet, gripping tightly then relaxing, until she couldn't help but release her tightly bitten lips, letting out a soft sound.
The sound gradually became more intense.
"Dong dong dong..."
Suddenly.
There was a knock on the door.
It was as if the pause button had been pressed, and the luxurious bedroom instantly fell silent.
Li Shuru covered her mouth tightly, slapping the person behind her.
The person, who had just proven their physical prowess, was also startled.
"Dong dong dong..."
The knocking continued, becoming more muffled and frequent, as if the person outside would barge in without a response.
Jiang Chen wasn't sure if he locked the door when he came in, and it seemed even if it was locked, it wouldn't stop the person outside.
Without delay, he quickly grabbed and put on his pants, getting off the bed.
Li Shuru's face turned bright red, and she immediately grabbed the blanket to cover herself.
He opened the door.
And as expected.
It was that stunningly beautiful face, exuding a pure sacredness.
This time, however, the brows, which seemed to hold mist and rain, were slightly furrowed into small peaks.
Jiang Chen forced himself to stay calm; speaking would make him pant and reveal his nerves, so he said nothing, only looking at her with a puzzled gaze.
Not knowing why she was wandering around instead of sleeping, Tanki Liuli glanced past Jiang Chen into the room.
This made Jiang Chen's heart skip a beat, prompting him to quickly move and block her line of sight.
Oh right.
She must have come out for a reason.
Most likely she was hungry and went downstairs to find snacks.
"What's up?"
Jiang Chen, dressed only in his shorts, could only ask, trying hard to suppress himself but still inevitably panting.
Tanki Liuli ignored his well-built body, looking like a living Bodhisattva, withdrawing her gaze from inside the room.
"Why did you hit someone?"
"..."
Jiang Chen's expression froze instantly, his mind blank.
