My game, you have no right to award

Chapter 114: Searching for Information
Zhou Kuang, the boss of Kuangshi Games?

Is he the boss of the production company of "Netherworld Mountain and Sea"?
Why does the other party have my phone number?
Li Xiaoxiang was stunned and stood there, not saying a word for several seconds.

"Hey Hey hey?"

It was not until he heard Zhou Kuang's voice on the phone that he woke up from his dream.

"I'm here, I'm here, you say."

"Oh, I thought you had a bad signal there."

Zhou Kuang was in his office on the 21st floor, holding his cell phone, standing by the window, looking at the white clouds above the tall buildings in the distance and said.

"No no."

Li Xiaoxiang subconsciously waved his hand towards the void to reject it.

"That's good." Zhou Kuang continued, "We're going to release a new game trailer for Netherworld Mountain and Sea on Station B soon. I wonder if you guys have any ideas for cooperation?"

Li Xiaoxiang was overjoyed. Their B station really wanted to cooperate with "Youming Shanhai" and Kuangshi Games!

"Of course, of course!"

He quickly agreed.

"Do you think we should go to your company, or..."

"It would be great if you could come. Let's set the time for tomorrow morning." Zhou Kuang looked at the calendar on the table. He had nothing to do tomorrow morning, and Feng Qi and others should continue working in the office.

"You guys can come over tomorrow morning at ten o'clock, right?"

"Okay, no problem."

"Okay, it's settled then."

Li Xiaoxiang couldn't help but ask the question in his heart.

"Mr. Zhou, how come you have my phone number?"

He knew his question might be presumptuous, but curiosity overwhelmed everything.

There was a chuckle from the other end of the line.

"You told us your phone number last time."

Li Xiaoxiang then remembered that he seemed to have written down his contact information for the other party's project producer.

But that was just for the convenience of communication at the time. Later, Bilibili failed to invest in "The Netherworld", so the matter naturally ended.

So he took it for granted that it was impossible for anyone from Kuangshi Games to call him.

After all, if they want to contact Bilibili, they will definitely go to the relevant person in charge, not him.

Not to mention that the person who made the call was the other party’s boss - Zhou Kuang himself.

Zhou Kuang's answer still couldn't resolve the doubts in his heart, but instead made his mind even more confused.

"But why don't you go find someone from our Game Business Ecology Department?"

"Aren't you?"

Zhou Kuang's answer really left Li Xiaoxiang speechless.

Indeed, the other party was not wrong, but his subtext was actually why Zhou Kuang didn't go find the person in charge of their game business ecology department, such as the new deputy minister.

"It's okay. Just go tell your boss that you've convinced us to continue cooperating with Bilibili." Zhou Kuang said with a humorous tone and paused. "Let me tell you a little bit of gossip first. It is said that the game trailer this time has the specific release date of the game."

When Li Xiaoxiang heard the news, his eyes widened and he almost dropped his phone to the ground.

What? The trailer actually has a specific release date for the game?

This is huge news!
The buzz this time will definitely be huge! At least it will reach the level of popularity when Netherworld Mountain and Sea was first announced.

Moreover, the other party also asked him to say that it was he who persuaded Megvii Games and Bilibili to continue their cooperation?
why?
Why should the other party help me?
Before Li Xiaoxiang could figure out how to respond, Zhou Kuang spoke again.

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore."

"This is to thank you for speaking up for us last time. I heard you were fighting for your rights in your department?"

Li Xiaoxiang replied subconsciously: "But isn't that what I should do?"

“There are so many things in this world that should be done according to reason, but many things are not done.”

"That's it anyway. I can't help you with anything else, so I'll just give you a small credit." Zhou Kuang chuckled. "Although this credit is 'fake,' as long as you don't tell anyone and I don't tell anyone, no one else will know. How's that?"

Li Xiaoxiang felt warm in his heart and almost shed tears.

Zhou Kuang is still a loyal and honest person.

I clearly did what I was supposed to do, but the other party still remembered it.

And what was given to him this time was definitely more than just a "small achievement".

On the entire Chinese Internet, only Bilibili has the latest updates and trailers for "Netherworld Mountains and Seas", which is a considerable advantage.

Auntie, you don’t want “The Netherworld Mountains and Seas” to be released first on other websites, right?
After countless single-player game players get used to this, they may subconsciously feel that Bilibili is more authoritative in terms of games.

A passerby asked a question online: Which one is more authoritative in terms of games, Station B or Station A?
When the B station cloud players thought of "Youming Shanhai", they immediately replied: B station is more authoritative!

"Thank you so much, Mr. Zhou. I really didn't know..."

Li Xiaoxiang was about to give a compliment when he was interrupted by Zhou Kuang.

"Stop!"

"I don't want to hear these useless words. Let's continue to cooperate in the future. Come to our company again if you have the chance."

"OK, thanks!"

Li Xiaoxiang was really touched. He had never seen such a good boss before!
A gentleman will die for his confidant, but when he meets his confidant, his confidant does not pity him.

What a pity, Zhou Kuang has no use for someone like me.

"Then see you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow."

After hanging up the phone, Li Xiaoxiang felt uneasy for a long time.

He returned to his workstation and his colleagues who knew him well cast curious glances at him. Li Xiaoxiang had just gone out to answer a phone call and had not returned for a long time. Could there be some new project?

"Brother Li, what's going on?" Xiaobai, who was more familiar with Li Xiaoxiang, came over and asked in a low voice, unable to contain his excitement.

Li Xiaoxiang thought of what the other boss had just said, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

He cleared his throat and deliberately kept the conversation a secret before saying, "Let's go to Kuangshi Games at ten o'clock tomorrow morning. They have good news."

Anyway, these people will know it sooner or later, so Li Xiaoxiang has no intention of hiding it from them. He will go to Kuangshi Games with them tomorrow!
When my colleagues heard this, they were instantly shocked.

Megshi Games? Isn't that the company behind the most popular game on Bilibili, Netherworld?
You should know that in the entire Chinese gaming circle, Megvii Games is already among the top gaming companies. Even though their games have not been released yet, their status has been "loaned" here in advance.

Being able to cooperate with them is already a great opportunity.

This definitely means that Li Xiaoxiang had negotiated some kind of cooperation with the other party alone.

Judging from the current development status of "Netherworld Mountains and Seas", it is very likely to be some major exclusive news.

Everyone instantly looked at him with envy and admiration, which made Li Xiaoxiang feel a little elated.

Xiaobai's eyes sparkled as he said, "Brother Li, you're amazing! You even managed to negotiate this!"

It was a mess over there, and any noise they made attracted other people's attention.

As expected, the department's new deputy minister, Xie Bin, came over with a dark face. He had always had a problem with Li Xiaoxiang, after all, Li Xiaoxiang was a subordinate of the previous deputy minister, Yu Zhi.

As the saying goes, a new official has three things to do when he takes office. I planned to start the first one on Li Xiaoxiang, but I just haven't found the opportunity.

It wants to kill the chicken to scare the monkey, so that others can understand what it means that those who follow me will prosper, and those who oppose me will perish!

Only those who listen to him will reap good rewards.

And this time he understood clearly that the other party had bypassed him and went to discuss cooperation with "Youming Shanhai", and they actually succeeded!

"The Netherworld Mountains and Seas" is his own achievement. Although it was a collaboration arranged by his former leader Yu Zhitan, he himself did not take it very seriously.

But it’s better to have it than not, right?

After all, no matter how small a mosquito leg is, it is still meat.

As a result, Li Xiaoxiang picked the peaches.

Although most of the credit still belongs to Xie Bin, it is not okay to snatch food from his own bowl!
Not at all!

I don’t know if ruthless people are always protective of their food!!

Hearing the exclamations of other subordinates, Xie Bin felt extremely unhappy.

He walked over and coughed twice. In an instant, everyone fell silent and dared not speak.

Xie Bin's facial muscles tensed, his eyes drooping as he walked up to Li Xiaoxiang with a frown. He then suddenly burst out, "Why didn't you tell me about such a big deal as negotiating a partnership with Megvii Games? Li Xiaoxiang, do you even think I'm your leader anymore?"

Li Xiaoxiang didn't expect the other party to suddenly get angry. In a panic, he hurriedly explained: "Mr. Xie, I haven't had time to report to you yet..."

"report?!"

Xie Bin spat out these two words viciously and with gritted teeth.

"If I don't come to you, will you never have time to report?"

"You don't have time to report, but you have time to tell your colleagues, right?"

Li Xiaoxiang groaned inwardly. He quickly said, "Mr. Xie, it's really not what you think. This is really too sudden. I was planning to report to you after I answered the phone."

Xie Bin didn't listen to Li Xiaoxiang's explanation at all, because he had his own stance, just like you can never wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep.

He crossed his arms over his chest and snorted.

"Humph, I think you've grown wings and want to go it alone!"

"Alright, I'll grant you your wish! Since you think you can bypass the formalities and privately contact such an important company as Megvii Games, then you can quit!"

All the colleagues were silent, and no one dared to offend Xie Bin.

Only Xiaobai was hesitant to speak, wanting to explain for Li Xiaoxiang but not having the courage.

Li Xiaoxiang was so anxious that he was sweating. He didn't care about himself, but this matter was not only about himself, but also about the cooperation between Bilibili and Megvii Games.

"Mr. Xie, this is all my fault. Please calm down. This is truly a rare opportunity. We can't miss it!"

"If the cooperation is delayed, it will be a loss for our department and the entire B station."

Hearing Li Xiaoxiang using Bilibili's interests to pressure him, Xie Bin glared and said, "Stop talking big. Tomorrow, we'll go to Megvii Games to cooperate as usual. There won't be any problems. You just stay here and reflect on your actions."

Li Xiaoxiang was shocked. He didn't expect Xie Bin to make such a decision. He opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.

At this time, Xie Bin had already turned around and left, and no one dared to stop him.

Li Xiaoxiang was so angry that he was shaking all over, feeling wronged and unwilling.

Xiaobai came over quickly and asked worriedly, "Brother Li, are you okay?"

He took two deep breaths before he calmed down.

He looked at Xiaobai, who was beside him with worried eyes, forced a smile, patted his shoulder and said, "It's okay, don't worry."

Even though he said that, everyone could see how badly he was hit.

Li Xiaoxiang stood up and walked into the corridor under Xiaobai's worried gaze.

There was no one here, and he took a long time to relax before finally feeling a little better.

He took out his phone and hesitated for a long time before calling.

"Dududu-"

Hearing the call waiting tone on his phone, he felt very anxious.

Finally, the call came through.

"Hey?"

Zhou Kuang was a little confused. Didn't he just call the other party before? Why did he call back again?

"Mr. Zhou, the situation has changed. I may not be able to go tomorrow."

Li Xiaoxiang told Zhou Kuang everything about Xie Bin. After listening, he was silent for a moment and then sneered.

Sure enough, there are always such dirty things in such big companies.

The struggle for power and profit is like this in all things in the world.

"Okay, since your leader is so opinionated and can change everything about our cooperation for you, then I think we should just not cooperate at all!"

Li Xiaoxiang was anxious!

"Mr. Zhou, no!"

"I don't care. You can't sever your cooperation with Station B just because of this little thing!"

"Yu Gong, Station B attaches great importance to the project "Netherworld Mountains and Seas" and your company. No other video website can provide better conditions!"

"Personally, I also suggest that you choose to cooperate with Bilibili." He paused and went over what he was about to say in his mind.

"Bilibili is now one of the communities with the largest number of young people, and I dare say that they are all high-quality young people."

"This is the target audience of Netherworld Mountain and Sea!"

"Only by cooperating with Bilibili can you make Netherworld Mountain and Sea known to more players, especially those who play single-player games!"

"Everything I said here is true, not a single lie! I'm doing this for the good of Netherworld Mountain and Sea!"

Hearing Li Xiaoxiang so anxious, like a machine gun, Zhou Kuang was actually amused.

"Are you worried about me?"

Li Xiaoxiang hesitated for a moment, but still answered, "Yes."

"Don't worry, this matter has nothing to do with you. I will take care of it." Zhou Kuang comforted the other party.

"Don't worry, I won't let you suffer any loss." He snorted coldly, "Tomorrow, I will meet your so-called 'new leader'."

"Let me see what kind of expert is this. He just arrived at the new department and already targeted his most capable subordinate."

"I think he doesn't want to be the deputy minister anymore!"

Li Xiaoxiang was shocked after hearing this, but at the same time he felt a little warm in his heart. Regardless of whether it was true or false, President Zhou really supported him.

"Don't be afraid, Xiao Li. If you're not happy with your job, feel free to come to me anytime. I'm short of people!"

When Zhou Kuang got addicted to stamp collecting, no one could stop him.

Hearing this, Li Xiaoxiang's eyes widened.

Damn it, is there such a good thing?
