    ## Chapter 34: Coming to Demand an Explanation

    Meanwhile!

    Central Beijing.

    ArtTour platform’s Market Department Director’s Office.

    “Old Senior, thank you so much for this,”

    Chen Hang, the vice president of Starlight Games, sat down, his hands clasped in a respectful manner, carefully pouring a cup of tea and presenting it to Sun Guoping, who sat opposite him.

    “It was the Old Senior’s thoughtful planning,” he said.

    “Not only did you help us climb the vote rankings, you also managed to suppress that Golden Wind.”

    You see!

    As a company specializing in producing medium-sized games, Chen Hang’s biggest concern was this new emerging company, Golden Wind.

    Not only were their core businesses similar, but Golden Wind had also snatched the sales chart championship spot from them, Starlight, twice in a row.

    This was something Starlight couldn’t tolerate.

    After all, they didn’t have the same kind of influence as the leading giant, Xun Teng, who could simply buy out competitor studios.

    If they couldn’t assimilate, they could only suppress.

    Fortunately!

    Chen Hang found out that Golden Wind had no interaction with Sun Guoping.

    Not only did they not come to pay their respects, they didn’t even show any signs of trying to get close.

    So he took the initiative to propose “suppressing Golden Wind a bit.”

    And Sun Guoping, on his part, had never received any “expression” from Golden Wind. He already felt that this company was “unruly.”

    After all, Golden Wind had consecutively achieved two weeks of sales champion with two games!

    With this kind of achievement, wouldn’t you know to visit me, the platform executive, to express your gratitude?

    Thus, the two hit it off instantly.

    Under Sun Guoping’s tacit approval, his loyal engineer secretly modified the refresh logic for the “Vampire Survivor” ranking, ensuring it would always be relegated to the later pages.

    Then, on the day before the final settlement.

    Sun Guoping directly swapped the first-round vote results of “Brothers’ Big Adventure” and “Vampire Survivor” in the backend.

    Such actions seriously violated the “Two Musts, Three Must Nots” that Yan Sheng had repeatedly emphasized at the meeting.

    However, Sun Guoping simply chuckled, unconcerned.

    Don’t be ridiculous, the company still bans private gain through power.

    When did he ever get caught?

    This set of unspoken rules had been around for years, becoming a tacit agreement in the company.

    What was this “Two Musts, Three Must Nots”?

    It was merely a performance, a show of force from a new official.

    Just a way to intimidate the underlings, it wouldn’t reach him, Sun Guoping.

    After all, he was a company veteran.

    “A mere trifle, hehe,”

    Taking the tea from Chen Hang, Sun Guoping chuckled:

    “I help my fellow disciple, who else would I help? Outsiders?”

    “Besides, compared to you, Starlight is more mature and stable,”

    “This opportunity, of course, should be given to a more reliable team to maximize its effect!”

    His words were smooth and hypocritical, without a hint of mention of money.

    Chen Hang nodded repeatedly across the table, “Yes, yes, the Old Senior always has foresight,”

    “This opportunity, you’re right to give it to me, ordinary people wouldn’t be able to grasp it!”

    With that, the two clinked their glasses and laughed heartily.

    “Alright, Old Senior, I won’t bother you any further,”

    Finishing his tea, Chen Hang put down the cup, stood up:

    “You have a lot of work, I’ll take my leave. When you’re completely free after the development festival, I’ll invite you out for a drink!”

    Bidding farewell to Sun Guoping!

    Chen Hang left the office, his mood elevated.

    He hummed a tune as he headed to the elevator, pressing the button.

    Ding!

    Soon, the elevator sounded, and the car opened.

    A young girl stepped out of the elevator, followed by a dignified woman, seeming like sisters.

    They passed each other. Chen Hang glanced at the two, his lustful gaze sweeping over the pair of sisters, his mouth watering.

    Then, without paying much attention, he entered the elevator.

    Ding Dong—

    As the elevator doors slowly closed.

    Chen Hang heard a young girl’s voice from the direction of the front desk, her tone sharp:

    “Your boss is called Yan Sheng, right? Is he here now? I need to ask him something.”

    What a bold little girl! The girl who suddenly visited caught the front desk off guard.

    Although they didn’t know why the girl was here, seeing her fiery demeanor and the assistant-like woman behind her.

    The front desk didn’t dare to be negligent, she quickly stood up, putting on a smiling face and asking:

    “Who are you?”

    “Shen Miaomiao, CEO of Golden Wind Game Company.”

    That’s right!

    This wasn’t anyone else, but Shen Miaomiao, who had rushed over by high-speed rail, arriving with fire in her belly to demand an explanation!

    “Er…this…”

    The front desk hesitated.

    Golden Wind?

    Never heard of it, it didn’t seem to have been here before, right?

    “Do you have something to do? Do you have an appointment with Mr. Yan?”

    The front desk asked.

    “No appointment, I don’t need an appointment,”

    Shen Miaomiao shook her head, then continued,

    “Tell your Mr. Yan, just say Shen Wanlin’s person is here to see him.”

    “Well… okay, please wait in the sofa area, I’ll go report it.”

    The front desk politely gestured for Shen Miaomiao to wait.

    Normally, without an appointment, it was impossible to see Yan Sheng, the front desk would directly refuse.

    But today was different.

    While the front desk didn’t know Shen Miaomiao’s background, she dared not underestimate this girl’s aura.

    Immediately, she called the boss’s secretary:

    “Secretary Li, it’s the front desk, a visitor named Shen Miaomiao, CEO of Golden Wind Game Company, claims to be a person of Shen Wanlin,”

    “Does Mr. Yan have time now?”

    “Who?!”

    In the ArtTour platform’s president’s office.

    Hearing the secretary’s report, Yan Sheng trembled, looking at the secretary with a hint of fear:

    “You said who came to see me?”

    You see!

    All along, Yan Sheng’s image in the company was that of a calm and wise man.

    The secretary had never seen anything make their big boss look so flustered!

    For a moment, she couldn’t help but hesitate:

    “CEO of Golden Wind Game Company, named… Shen Miaomiao.”

    “No, the part after that.”

    “Oh, she said she’s a person of Shen Wanlin,”

    The secretary replied,

    “Do you know her?”

    Damn it.

    Yan Sheng’s heart sank!

    It was normal for the front desk and secretary not to know Shen Wanlin.

    But as the head of a branch company under a mature enterprise, how could he not know this big shot?

    The helm of Shen Capital, worth billions of dollars, with countless holding groups under his control, spanning real estate, technology, medical, mining, and more.

    Although he maintained a low profile, he definitely held a position among the top ten largest companies in the country!

    Now!

    A little girl, surname Shen, claiming to be Shen Wanlin’s person!

    Who else could it be?

    If not his daughter, she must at least be a relative!

    How could Yan Sheng dare to be negligent? He stood up, grabbing his suit jacket, throwing it on as he said:

    “That’s a big businessman, I know her, but she might not know me.”

    The secretary also gasped!

    “Then… Mr. Yan, the front desk said this girl’s tone was quite sharp, it doesn’t seem like she’s here to talk about cooperation, more like coming to demand an explanation.”

    Hearing this, Yan Sheng almost fell to the ground, looking at the secretary with fear:

    “Our front desk didn’t react too strongly, did they?”

    “That’s not true, you didn’t say the front desk should always maintain a smiling reception, right?”

    The secretary shook her head,

    “Moreover, the front desk saw that this girl wasn’t big, but her tone was loud, so she didn’t dare to act rashly, she was polite and asked them to wait outside.”

    “Good job,”

    Yan Sheng quickly gave a thumbs-up:

    “Give the front desk a red envelope at the end of the month, as a reward.”

    She saved the day!

    Yan Sheng silently thanked the front desk’s eight generations of ancestors in his heart.

    He was thankful that they didn’t engage in those clichéd scenarios from novels, looking down on people based on their appearance.

    Otherwise, if he offended this young lady, he would truly be in trouble.

    With that, Yan Sheng, fully dressed, pushed open the door, leaving his office and heading straight towards the sofa where Shen Miaomiao was waiting.

    As he walked down the hallway, before even reaching Shen Miaomiao, his smile was as wide as a flower:

    “Ms. Shen! Ms. Shen hahaha—what a rare guest!”

    “I didn’t know you were coming, I’m truly sorry for not welcoming you properly—”
