Not bad!
Turns out that the seemingly harmless and goofy Little Nezha also has her own system!
Her real name is Shen Miaomiao, currently residing in Binjiang, a senior at Jinling University, majoring in Financial Engineering.
According to the university's regulations, seniors no longer need to attend classes and are required to find internships at companies.
Originally, this was no big deal for Shen Miaomiao.
Her family is in the capital investment business, and her dad runs more companies than she can count.
If Comrade Lao Shen was willing, he could just whip up an internship certificate for her, and she could happily stay home living her best life as a pretty couch potato.
But fate had other plans.
With a grand wave of his hand, Comrade Lao Shen not only refused to give her a certificate but actually gave her a company!
Shen Miaomiao was stunned on the spot!
What the h*ll kind of money power is this?!
Who’s ever heard of an intern starting out as a company president?!
And on top of that, what’s the deal with giving her a game tech company?
She doesn’t even know gaming!
She can’t even beat Carrot Defense!
Just as she was about to weasel out of it, the system descended.
[Investment Rebate System]
A heaven-defying cheat that gives you multiplied compensation as long as your investments fail!
But to prevent the host from exploiting bugs by intentionally failing investments…
Shen Miaomiao’s system came with two prerequisites:
Condition 1: During her time as Intern President, the host must successfully bind with a project lead to carry out investments.
Condition 2: The project lead must conform to industry logic and must not know about the system.
Note: Both conditions must be met for the system to fully activate. Otherwise, it will self-destruct.
And that—
Was how today’s interview came to be!
Click.
As the meeting room door closed, only Executive Assistant Chu Qingzhou and President Shen Miaomiao were left in the room.
A moment of silence.
“You little troublemaker, are you out of your mind?!”
Chu Qingzhou shook Shen Miaomiao by the shoulders like she was trying to shake the water out of her brain.
Shen Miaomiao’s decision was even more ridiculous than Gu Sheng’s art style for that game!
“With design skills like that, I feel like I should tell him to start a charity page!”
Chu Qingzhou was practically losing it:
“Even if you wanted to do charity work, you don’t have to bet the entire company’s future on it!”
“Ah—woo—ah—woo—”
Shen Miaomiao was being shaken so hard she was nearly thrown out of her chair.
“Chuchu-jie—my head’s gonna fall off—”
Whoosh!
Hearing that, Chu Qingzhou finally stopped and sighed in regret:
“It’s my fault too. I should’ve stopped you,”
“Hiring such a clueless Director… our company’s probably doomed now…”
Seeing Chu Qingzhou looking so dejected, Shen Miaomiao got excited.
Wasn’t that exactly what she wanted?!
Of course she knew Gu Sheng was a clueless designer!
But that’s precisely the kind of designer she was looking for!
Otherwise, where would her tenfold rebate come from?
How else could she live her carefree couch potato life and still achieve financial freedom?
But of course, she couldn’t say any of this out loud. So she forced down her laughter and patted her assistant on the shoulder:
“Chuchu-jie, don’t be so discouraged. Actually, Director Gu did make some valid points just now.”
“Sure, difficult levels can be frustrating, but clearing them gives players a sense of accomplishment and joy.”
“I trust my judgment.”
“I believe this Cat Mario will sell really well…”
Yeah right!
Shen Miaomiao added silently.
That entire speech was a load of bull—she didn’t even believe it herself.
That crappy game? The more you invest, the more you lose.
Thinking of that, Shen Miaomiao’s mind started racing.
How could she inflate the investment in this game as much as possible…
The Next Day!
Gu Sheng officially took office!
Sitting in his bright and spacious private office, Gu Sheng twirled his business card—
Golden Wind Game Technology Co., Ltd.
Game Director – Gu Sheng
—even now, he still felt a bit uneasy.
This whole thing was just too surreal.
Last night, he’d thought it over a dozen times back at the dorm and still couldn’t figure out why Little Nezha hired him to be the director.
Because as far as he knew, among the applicants yesterday, there were plenty of seasoned pros!
There was a returnee with a master’s from Japan,
a veteran with ten years in the gaming industry,
and even a former associate director who had led projects worth over ten million!
Yet out of all of them, Little Nezha picked him at first glance!
It just didn’t make any sense.
Just as he was deep in thought—
Knock knock knock—
Someone tapped on the door.
Snapping out of it, Gu Sheng quickly put the card back in its case. “Come in.”
Click.
The frosted glass door opened, and in walked a cute girl with bun-shaped hair.
“Director Gu? Mind if I come in?”
It was Shen Miaomiao!
Seeing her, Gu Sheng quickly stood up. “Miss… uh, President Shen.”
Whew, close one. Almost slipped up.
“No worries, relax. Have a seat,”
Walking in, Shen Miaomiao put on a deliberately mature act and waved him down.
“I just came to check if you need anything for your setup,”
“And also to talk a bit about the development of Cat Mario.”
Gu Sheng nodded.
No wonder she’s the boss—
Even when talking business, she had to beat around the bush first.
“Thank you for your concern, President Shen. The office setup is already more than adequate.”
As he spoke, Gu Sheng poured her a glass of water.
“As for the project—what part would you like to discuss?”
After thanking him, Shen Miaomiao picked up the glass.
“I mainly wanted to ask about the investment budget. Do you have a rough figure, Director Gu?”
Budget...?
Gu Sheng almost felt embarrassed to even use that word.
He held up two fingers. “Two hundred.”
Hearing that, Shen Miaomiao raised an eyebrow and looked at him in surprise.
“Two million?”
Gu Sheng nearly spat out his water.
This chick isn’t Little Nezha—she’s the God of Wealth in disguise!
Just use your knees and think—there’s no way this thing is worth two million!
“Two hundred yuan!”
Gu Sheng rushed to clarify, afraid she’d call the cops on him for fraud.
But it would’ve been better if he hadn’t explained.
The moment the words left his mouth, Shen Miaomiao’s eyes went wide—
Her reaction was even more intense than when she heard "two million"!
“How much?!”
“Two hundred yuan…” Gu Sheng forced a smile. “Is that a problem?”
It’s a huge problem!!!
Alarm bells rang in Shen Miaomiao’s mind.
Only 200 yuan?!
That cost is way too low!
Even multiplied by ten, it’s just 2,000 yuan!
No no no!
Shen Miaomiao silently panicked as her mind spun.
She had to figure out a way to increase the investment—ideally max it out!
After all, the higher the investment, the bigger the rebate she’d get!
So after a moment of thought, Shen Miaomiao spoke up:
“This cost… it’s too low. The finance department won’t be able to process it.”
“We need to increase the budget!”
