After being reborn, the school beauty's entire family knelt down to repent.

Thanks to her help in reporting on Zhao Feilong's incident last time, it was resolved quickly.

Moreover, she has a wide network of connections, which might be of help.

Chen Ming pulled out his contacts and found Liu Jiali's pager number.

Mobile phones were not yet widespread, and pagers were the main communication tool.

He dialed the number and entered a string of digits.

"Reporter Liu, this is Chen Ming. I have something to discuss with you. Please call me back."

The next morning, Chen Ming's pager rang; it was Liu Jiali calling back.

Chen Ming immediately found a public phone and called back.

"Hello, Reporter Liu, this is Chen Ming."

"Mr. Chen, long time no see! I heard your business has been doing well lately?" Liu Jiali's voice was as cheerful as ever.

"Thanks to you, business is doing alright. I'm here to ask you for a favor."

"What's the matter? Tell me."

Chen Ming then told Liu Jiali about his idea of ​​entering the gaming industry and recruiting talent.

"The gaming industry?" Liu Jiali asked with surprise. "That's a new industry, and it's quite risky."

“I know, but I think it has great potential.”

Chen Ming said with certainty, "Now is the golden age of development, and I want to seize this opportunity."

Liu Jiali pondered for a moment and then said, "How do you want me to help you?"

"I would like to ask you to help me post job openings, and it would be best if you could help me contact some qualified candidates in this field."

"That's fine,"

Liu Jiali readily agreed, "Tell me your specific requirements, and I'll help you promote it."

"However, I can't guarantee that I can find the talent you're looking for."

"Thank you in advance." Chen Ming breathed a sigh of relief. "When are you free so we can meet and discuss this in detail?"

"This afternoon, at two o'clock, see you at the usual place."

"Okay, see you there or see you."

At 2 p.m., Chen Ming arrived at the agreed-upon coffee shop on time.

Liu Jiali was already sitting there waiting for him, with a cup of coffee and a newspaper in front of her.

"Mr. Chen, you're really punctual," Liu Jiali greeted him with a smile.

"Reporter Liu, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting." Chen Ming sat down opposite her.

"I've drafted a job advertisement for you. What do you think?"

Liu Jiali handed the newspaper to Chen Ming and pointed to one of the pages.

Chen Ming took the newspaper and began to read it carefully.

The advertisement headline boldly proclaimed: "We are sincerely recruiting elite game developers to build a game empire together!"

Below is a detailed job description and contact information.

"Well written, very engaging," Chen Ming praised. "However, I think we could add one more point."

"Oh? What do you want to add?"

"Add a sentence: 'Excellent compensation and stock options'."

Chen Ming paused for a moment, then added, "The situation in the gaming industry is still unclear, and the mobility of talent is uncertain. Only by offering sufficient incentives can we attract real talent."

Liu Jiali nodded in agreement: "You're right. Young people nowadays value salary and career prospects."

She picked up her pen, added that sentence to the advertisement, and then said, "Is there anything else to add?"

Chen Ming thought for a moment and said, "It would be best to emphasize again that our company values ​​innovation, encourages employees to put forward their own ideas, and provides ample room for them to develop."

“No problem.” Liu Jiali quickly added a few more sentences.

"That's about right." Chen Ming nodded in satisfaction.

The two chatted for a while about the current state and development trends of the gaming industry, when Liu Jiali suddenly asked a question.

"Mr. Chen, have you considered what you'll do if you can't find enough people?"

Chen Ming smiled slightly, a different kind of smile on his face: "Then I'll do it myself."

Liu Jiali was taken aback for a moment, then laughed: "Looks like you were prepared!"

"Of course," Chen Ming said confidently.

"I have the blueprint for the development of games for the next twenty years in my hands, so why would I be afraid of not being able to recruit people?"

"A twenty-year blueprint? That's quite an ambitious statement, Mr. Chen."

Liu Jiali smiled and joked, taking another sip of coffee, "However, the gaming industry isn't that simple. Are you really confident?"

Chen Ming smiled mysteriously: "Reporter Liu, the way you say that makes it sound like I, Chen Ming, have done something I wasn't sure about before."

He paused, his tone tinged with arrogance, "I'm the kind of person who either doesn't do something, or I do it the best."

"Good, that's ambitious!"

Liu Jiali patted him on the shoulder approvingly, "Then I'll be waiting to see your show."

"Don't worry about the advertising; I'll arrange it as soon as possible."

"Thank you very much, Reporter Liu." Chen Ming raised his coffee cup. "I'll drink tea instead of wine and wish us a pleasant cooperation."

"Happy cooperation!"

After leaving the coffee shop, Chen Ming did not go straight home, but instead went to an electronics mall in the city center.

He's about to start building his "gaming empire".

Standing in front of the dazzling array of computer parts, Chen Ming felt as if he had returned to the time when he first started his business in his previous life, and that passionate feeling made his blood boil.

"Boss, how can I help you?"

A young shop assistant walked over.

"I want to build a top-of-the-line computer specifically for game development," Chen Ming said, getting straight to the point.

"No problem!" The shop assistant perked up immediately upon hearing that a big sale had come in. "Do you have any specific requirements?"

Next, Chen Ming told the salesperson in detail his requirements for the computer configuration, from settings to appearance, from memory to floppy disk, striving for perfection in every detail.

As the shop assistant listened, he secretly clicked his tongue in amazement. This guy was really knowledgeable!

"With this configuration, you could assemble a small server!" the salesperson exclaimed.

"Server?" Chen Ming raised an eyebrow and said with a playful expression.

"It's not necessarily a bad thing. When my company grows bigger in the future, I might actually need one."

The shop assistant was dumbfounded, thinking to himself, "This guy's got some nerve! We've only just started, and he's already thinking about servers?"

However, the customer is king.

The shop assistants naturally didn't say much, but diligently helped Chen Ming choose accessories.

"Don't worry, I will definitely pick the best parts for you and assemble it for you as soon as possible."

"Then I'll leave it to you." Chen Ming nodded.

After settling on the computer, Chen Ming immediately went to purchase other equipment, such as a professional drawing tablet, high-fidelity headphones, and so on.

After returning home, Chen Ming couldn't wait to start assembling the computer.

Although he wasn't a programmer in his previous life, he was a seasoned gamer and had some knowledge of computer hardware.

As each component is installed, a powerful computer gradually takes shape.

Looking at the machine that carried his dreams, Chen Ming was very excited.

Next comes the game development phase.
