Chapter 59: The Unraveling
Xing Zhaoyan is on the verge of going crazy.
Fu Guanxian hasn't appeared since that day. After Xing Zhaoyan grits his teeth and watches Xiang Yang's press conference, hearing her boldly confess everything, he suddenly realizes that his bargaining chip is no longer useful.
Xiang Yang is no longer the submissive, long-suffering Xiang Yang.
Now, she's willing to take a gamble and even dare to reveal all of her privacy.
Xing Zhaoyan is panicking. He didn't expect her counterattack to be so ruthless.
He's impressed by her.
Xing Zhaoyan realizes belatedly that perhaps all of Xiang Yang's weakness and forbearance were only shown in front of Fu Guanxian. Once she changes the target, she becomes fearless.
“Heh, Xiang Yang, you really disappointed me.”
During the press conference, relatives and friends keep calling to ask questions. Xing Zhaoyan is annoyed. He turns off his phone.
He scratches his hair and lies in bed, pondering his next move when someone knocks on the door.
Xing Zhaoyan sits up. Two unfamiliar faces stand before him.
The man in the light-colored suit walks to the front and places a letter of dismissal in front of him. “Mr. Xing, we came here because we couldn't get in touch with you. We apologize for the intrusion. Due to your recent actions, Fu's Company is officially informing you that you are fired.”
“Fu Guanxian fired me? I was injured while working for the company. Now, the company executives don't even care, let alone compensation. Now, Fu Guanxian is so eager to kick me to the curb?” Xing Zhaoyan's tone is urgent.
But the man who just spoke is clearly not affected by his emotions. He speaks in a businesslike manner. “Mr. Xing, regarding compensation, the company executives have reached a conclusion after a meeting. The amount of compensation on this document is generous.” He puts the document on the bedside table. Then he continues, “Mr. Fu also told me to tell you to wish you all the best in your future endeavors.”
Xing Zhaoyan's eyes narrow. His gaze is gloomy. He doesn't even look at the gold document. He only says, “I want to see Fu Guanxian.”
“Sorry, Mr. Xing. Mr. Fu refuses to see you.”
When only Xing Zhaoyan is left in the ward, he glares at the document viciously. He wishes he could step on Fu Guanxian.
When headlines like “Fu's has no humanity” appear online, they disappear after only half an hour.
Three days later, Xing Zhaoyan's company holds a product launch event for a new game.
He worked at this company during college. Xing Zhaoyan saw the company's potential for development. Later, whenever he had money, he would secretly buy up the shares held by others. Plus, when he started working at the company, it was just starting out. His abilities were irreplaceable at the time. To keep him, the boss gave him a few shares. So, last year, Xing Zhaoyan became the person with the most shares and the most influence in the company.
The new game being released today has been in development for two years. Xing Zhaoyan's company even invested all of its capital into it.
Fortunately, the launch event is successful. Many people come to support it. Xing Zhaoyan is proud of himself.
But soon, when the game is released, Xing Zhaoyan realizes that Fu Guanxian has been holding back. His purpose is to take Xing Zhaoyan down.
Two similar games are released at almost the same time. The genres are very similar, and many of the screens, including the game tasks, are also very similar.
At first, Xing Zhaoyan's company's game downloads far outpace the other.
Xing Zhaoyan relaxes and says with a smile to the company executives, “See? That unknown X&Y is no match for us!”
But soon, a fatal flaw is discovered in their company's game. When playing multiplayer tasks, the game screens lag. The memory is clearly insufficient.
After the first person complains, there are many more complaints.
When Xing Zhaoyan learns of this, his face turns dark. He questions those below him angrily, “Didn't you swear to me that you'd tested it many times? You said there were absolutely no problems! What's going on?!”
He slams a folder on the conference table. The papers inside fly out. White papers fall from the air and scatter on the floor.
Everyone lowers their heads and doesn't speak!
“Are you all dead?”
“Boss, it's because you suddenly decided to release the game earlier. We didn't have enough time. So… we cut the testing in half compared to the original plan…”
“Slap!” As soon as he finishes, he draws even more anger from Xing Zhaoyan.
“Boss, it's not good!”
Xing Zhaoyan's chest heaves. He looks at the panicked secretary who pushes open the door.
“Boss… our data… has been surpassed…”
For the two similar games, people compare them. They realize that the game developed by X&Y company has no flaws. Even with thousands of people in a task, there's no lag. Importantly, the game's gameplay is more exciting. The content and tasks after the game are very attractive, and the prizes are generous.
Xing Zhaoyan hasn't figured out how to save the situation. Immediately someone tells him, “Boss, just now, people from X&Y called. They said that our game plagiarized their game. They have enough evidence. If we don't take it down, they will sue us. Boss, what should we do?”
“Plagiarism!” Xing Zhaoyan is furious. “I came up with this game with my own hard work! They said… wait!” Xing Zhaoyan suddenly remembers that this game idea wasn't his.
Because this is a game he played before he was reborn. The creator of the game was Fu Guanxian.
Back then, when Fu Guanxian's game was released, it was very popular. Adults and children alike were fascinated and obsessed with it.
Before Xing Zhaoyan died, he had nothing to do. He loved playing this game on his phone all day long.
But in this life, he clearly released the game sooner. He was even ahead by two or three years!
Why did a similar game appear so quickly?
Xing Zhaoyan thinks about it. He immediately searches online for information about X&Y company. The headquarters is overseas. But it's rumored that the company will soon set up a branch in China. The founder and head is Fu Guanxian.
Fu Guanxian, Fu Guanxian, Fu Guanxian again!
“Fu Guanxian! Do you really have to go this far to destroy me?!”
