"Xu Youyou?"

Lu Jingyao shouted her name and chased after her.

Xu Youyou turned a deaf ear to him. She only saw that the system indicator that had been flashing suddenly stopped flashing, and turned a corner and pointed towards the entrance of the banquet hall.

As she walked, the system instructions also changed. Obviously, the thing she picked up this time was a living thing.

"What are you looking for?" Lu Jingyao seemed to see Xu Youyou's intention. He did not stop her, but followed Xu Youyou.

Xu Youyou was a little annoyed by this tail, and asked directly: "Don't you have business to discuss with the Xi Ruier family? Why do you always follow me? You don't really think I'm your girlfriend?"

Lu Jingyao: ...

Lu Jingyao didn't know what was wrong with him. His eyes kept following Xu Youyou unconsciously. He looked at Xu Youyou's flawless white jade face and thought depressedly, am I no different from others, also tempted by beauty?

Seeing him suddenly standing there in a daze, Xu Youyou immediately took the opportunity to shake him off and dived into the group of guests wearing haute couture gowns like a nimble fish.

Relying on the system's prompts, Xu Youyou quickly arrived at a corner of the banquet hall.

This place was even more secluded than the one where Lu Jingyao had just pushed her against the wall, and there were two men standing there.

One of the men had a childish face and looked to be less than twenty years old. He was wearing a wrinkled black suit and was out of place with the surrounding scene.

The other man, who looked to be in his thirties or forties and seemed much more successful, was holding a glass of light champagne in his hand, his face full of impatience.

Xu Youyou moved closer and was finally able to hear the conversation between the two clearly.

"I don't know how you got in, but if you keep pestering me, I'm going to call security. A lowly person like you doesn't deserve to be here." As the middle-aged man said this, he looked up and down at the boy's clothes.

The boy's face was filled with embarrassment, and he shrank his neck, but he continued to plead, "We are really serious about making this game. We just need some funding to start..."

"I'm not interested in your games. I've seen too many people like you who think they are young and talented and are the next Bill Gates, but in fact they are only destined to be waiters." The middle-aged man interrupted him.

The young man's face flushed, but he didn't dare to lose his temper with the other party and seemed to want to continue selling.

The middle-aged man had lost his patience: "Security!"

When the young man heard this, he seemed to want to run away.

Xu Youyou felt that her chance had come, and she quickly stepped forward: "Young man, can you tell me about the game you are making?"

When the middle-aged man heard the sudden sound, he immediately looked at Xu Youyou.

The upper class has its own set of criteria for judging people. Xu Youyou is indeed a new face in their circle, and she is even a Chinese face.

But the middle-aged man did not dare to look down on her at all. The necklace on Xu Youyou's neck was enough to prove her identity.

"Beautiful oriental lady, are you interested in the little mouse that sneaked in?" the middle-aged man asked with narrowed eyes.

Xu Youyou gently shook the red wine glass in her hand, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly: "Old gentleman, you don't have to rush to judge. You have to trust the security of Xiruier Manor. It won't be so easy for anyone to sneak in."

The middle-aged man sneered. He didn't insist on calling security, but he couldn't wait to get rid of the boy's entanglement. Before leaving, he warned Xu Youyou: "For the sake of your wallet, you'd better stay away from this rat."

Xu Youyou nodded gently: "I think I know what I'm doing."

The middle-aged man snorted coldly and walked away.

When there was no one else in the corner, the young man approached Xu Youyou and said, "Thank you for helping me out, ma'am. I hope I didn't cause you any trouble."

Xu Youyou shook her head: "Even if I didn't help you out, you could still get away."

A look of embarrassment appeared on the boy's face.

Xu Youyou looked at him in surprise and asked, "Did you really sneak in? The Xirui family clearly checked the invitations of every guest and strictly verified the number of people. How could this happen?"

The boy touched the back of his head and said, "I'm a kitchen helper. I changed my clothes and ran to the front while the chef wasn't paying attention."

Xu Youyou looked at him with a higher opinion and asked, "You told me just like that, aren't you afraid that I will report you?"

The young man looked at Xu Youyou with his emerald-like eyes: "Beautiful lady, you are so kind-hearted, you will definitely not do this, right?"

Xu Youyou certainly wouldn't do that. She was still waiting to pick up some spoils from the young man, and said with a smile, "I think your God will reward every smart person."

The young man looked delighted. He wanted to talk to Xu Youyou for a few more words, but he didn't want to miss the opportunity to attract investment. "Beautiful lady, I have to go find the next investor. I hope we can have the chance to meet again."

Xu Youyou said, "Instead of waiting for the next meeting, it's better to please the investor in front of you first."

The young man's eyes suddenly widened. He didn't expect Xu Youyou to be interested in his game, and he also didn't expect Xu Youyou to be worth a lot of money.

He did not have the good looks of the middle-aged man in front of him. He originally thought that Xu Youyou was just a female companion brought by a distinguished guest.

"Young sir, judging people by their appearance is not a smart move," Xu Youyou said.

The boy nodded stupidly, then took a swig from his wine glass before mustering up the courage to speak: "Let me introduce myself. My name is Peter Locke. My friends and I are making a game. It's a 5v5 battle game on a small map..."

Xu Youyou didn't know much about games, but she was very surprised because she had heard of the name Peter Rock. He was the creator of the popular game "Peak Battle" that swept the world in her previous life.

"I plan to name this game "Peak Battle". Of course, if you don't like it, you can change the name." Peter Rock said cautiously.

His attitude could be described as extremely humble, as if he was afraid that if he said something wrong Xu Youyou would lose interest.

Xu Youyou hurriedly said, "No need to change it! This name is great! I like it very much, please don't change it!"

Peter smiled and said, "Give me $5 million and I'm confident I can make this game this year."

Xu Youyou frowned slightly.

Peter immediately spoke up: "If five million is too much for you, four million is fine, or even less, as long as we can make this game..."

Xu Youyou didn't care about this little money. At this moment, the greed in her heart was clamoring wildly, and she couldn't wait to get more shares of this game.

"Twenty million US dollars, I will give you a higher salary than any other game designer in the industry. I want this game to be completely mine!"
