My System Forces Me to Live off Women

"We can give up the two mobile games from Menglong before, Boss Xu, you can take them away. Even if we take them over, we’d shut them down and focus entirely on developing our own projects. Honestly, the only thing we value is your studio’s mature team. We don’t need anything else, so I think two million is already a fair price."

"If you’re not satisfied, we can only look for other options, or wait until Menglong dissolves to poach them? Sorry, my words are harsh...but having been in the business world for so many years, you should be able to face reality, right?"

Xu Long couldn’t accept, not reality, but the two million price.

The conversation hit a stalemate, He Yimeng left a remark and seemed ready to leave.

"Two hundred and sixty thousand is the highest, that’s our bottom line. Call me if you’re interested, if not, forget it, goodbye."

He Yimeng left decisively, Li Peifeng wanted to agree, but didn’t show it, calmly following He Yimeng out.

"Five hundred thousand is high, but four hundred thousand could be considered... how come you confidently set it at two hundred sixty? What if he doesn’t sell, do you have a backup plan?"

"Just two hundred sixty, he’ll definitely contact me within two days, you know why?"

"Why?"

He Yimeng said, "Firstly, there aren’t many interested in acquiring this company, and our offer is likely the highest. Otherwise, upon hearing my final offer, his first reaction shouldn’t have hesitated but frowned disdainfully. Secondly, I asked the building’s management about the rent for the fifteenth floor, where Menglong resides, it’s due at the end of this month."

"Menglong rents 400 square meters here, with a daily rent of 4.5 per square meter, totaling 54,000 a month. That’s not much, but for Menglong barely sustaining operations, saving any expense is crucial. Furthermore, if Xu Long intended to persist, he’d have already paid this rent, not delayed till now."

"Nice deduction!"

Facts proved He Yimeng’s judgment was accurate.

Not two days later, by noon the next day, Xu Long met with them again for a long talk, eventually signing a full acquisition deal at 280,000.

Within the studio, employees weren’t subject to layoffs, as Xu Long and the two new bosses reassured everyone by vowing there’d be no job cuts or pay reductions, but rather continued recruitment to ensure the ’Sword and Magic’ mobile game’s normal operation.

"I’ll send the book outline to everyone later, your current task is to read it quickly."

Li Peifeng added, "Of course, better still read the published text, I suggest... read the official edition! To avoid private gossip about me profiting off of you, the first day taking over to pocket cash, I’ll treat you to a big dinner tonight, each with a meal budget of 500!"

"Clap, clap, clap~"

The applause was warm, employees were reassured, some having heard of ’Sword and Magic’, envisioned the project’s future success.

"Does President He have anything to add?"

He Yimeng shook her head lightly, "That’s all, meeting adjourned."

"I just read a few Chapters of Mr. Li’s book yesterday, just wish I knew it earlier, astonishing, if developed into a mobile game, it’ll surely achieve success in the future."

Returning to the office, Xu Long lamented, "Sadly, I can’t participate in this project anymore."

Li Peifeng smiled, "If you’d stayed as the founder, Yimeng and I would have concerns, I hope you understand."

"I understand, I understand."

Xu Long sighed deeply, then forced a smile, "Then I’ll bid farewell to them and let them focus on working for the new owner."

After he left, Li Peifeng turned his gaze to He Yimeng.

She was dressed in a deep gray tailored suit with canvas shoes, fashionable yet capable, but what caught Li Peifeng’s notice was He Yimeng’s hair, originally three thousand blue strands, now dyed back to black just this morning.

Li Peifeng was astonished upon first seeing her and asked why she dyed it back, getting a simple answer, "I’ll be in management, having white hair is inappropriate."

Certainly looked more formal, but less cute, what a pity!

"What are you staring at, haven’t you seen enough?"

He Yimeng sat at her computer, sending ’Sword and Magic’ outlines to employees, her eyes focused unwaveringly on the screen.

Li Peifeng walked behind her, giving her shoulder a massage as he spoke, "I just feel for you, abandoning your familiar psychology counseling to cross-industry into mobile games with just my words. You’ll surely worry a lot in the future, so I couldn’t help but take another look... I want to change the name Menglong, what do you think would be good?"

He Yimeng took a deep breath, "Anything’s fine, as long as you don’t press where I’ll cry out."

Li Peifeng raised an eyebrow, "That can’t be, my massage technique is normal, no ulterior motives."

"Whenever you touch me, I can’t help but shout! Let go, you human muscle relaxant, stay away, don’t test my willpower!"

Li Peifeng was exasperated, "You’re supposed to be a boss, how’s your willpower so weak? No, I need to test it thoroughly!"
