Have you ever made games? Then you should write about games!

With the hand speed that Chen Dong had honed over the years, he completed the first chapter of the novel in just thirty minutes.

It provides information about the male protagonist's situation, goals, and special abilities, and briefly introduces the world-building.

The content is decent, but it's enough to filter out readers who like game-themed stories. By using hooks to indicate where to skip to the next chapter, it encourages these readers to swipe their thumbs up and turn to the next chapter.

After fidgeting with his fingers and rubbing his wrists for a short rest, Chen Dong continued writing the second chapter.

Chapter Two: The Betting Agreement – ​​Whoever Backs Down Is a Brute!

When Dong Cheng was thinking about how to take the first step and collect popularity points, his train of thought was interrupted by a phone call.

On the other end of the line was his secretary from his soon-to-be-bankrupt game company, whose voice was extremely anxious.

"Boss, Manager Fang has returned to the company and insists on seeing you!"

When Dong Cheng returned to the company, Manager Fang, who had betrayed him, was standing at the company's front desk with a smug look on his face, looking Dong Cheng up and down with a mocking gaze.

He pretended to be a wise bird choosing a good tree to perch on, telling Dong Cheng not to mind his backstabbing, since he couldn't stop himself from moving towards a better tomorrow.

The unspoken message was a mockery of Dong Cheng for not knowing how to make games, implying he deserved to be betrayed.

Even a clay figure has some temper, let alone Dong Cheng, who has the system at his disposal. How could he tolerate such humiliation? He decisively chose to fire back.

"Since you're mocking me for not knowing how to make games, why don't we make a bet? We'll release a game in a month and see whose game sells better and gets better reviews."

"If you win, I will retire from the gaming industry. If I win, all you need to do is stand downstairs at the company and shout three times that you are looking down on people."

"Manager Fang, do you have the guts to take this bet against me?"

In the second chapter, Chen Dong introduces a villain who takes the initiative to mock the protagonist for not knowing how to make games. While setting up the conflict, this also lays the groundwork for the subsequent plot twist and the protagonist's show-off moment.

With the combined influence of short videos and short dramas, readers' patience threshold is getting lower and lower. If there is no conflict or exciting moment in the first three chapters, it is difficult to attract readers to continue reading.

Since he didn't know what achievements were needed to redeem the game, Chen Dong could only do his best. If he failed and the system couldn't function, he would really have to sell his credit cards for money.

The subsequent plot is quite simple: Manager Fang, unaware that the protagonist possesses a system, confidently signs the betting agreement and mocks the protagonist for his arrogance.

The protagonist didn't care about this, because he had received a newbie gift pack from the system, which allowed him to choose a game from his original world.

After a quick review and refinement, Chen Dong registered as a writer on Blue Star's largest online literature platform and uploaded the novel he had just finished.

Rather than submitting the first part of the article to the website editor for review, which is called internal submission, Chen Dong prefers to submit it directly.

For new authors with no prior experience, getting a direct contract is far less difficult than getting an internal contract.

Chen Dong naturally couldn't take the achievements he made on Earth and submit them to Blue Star for publication.

In addition, and most importantly, he no longer had much time to wait for the editors to review his manuscript.

After confirming the release, Chen Dong leaned back on the sofa, closed his eyes slightly, and sorted out the subsequent plot.

This is one of Chen Dong's habits: to prepare a simple draft in his mind before writing, which greatly reduces the chance of writer's block during the creative process.

However, before Chen Dong could sort out his creative ideas for the subsequent chapters, the sudden ringing of the telephone broke the tranquility of the environment and interrupted Chen Dong's train of thought.

Pick up your phone and look at the caller ID on the screen.

Manager Yin

Because the original owner didn't know how to manage a company, he used a headhunting firm to poach Manager Yin with a high salary to help him manage the company.

She had repeatedly warned the original owner to be wary of the two so-called brothers' underhanded tactics, but unfortunately, due to her trust in them, she didn't take it to heart, which led to her current predicament.

Besides, during the month that the original owner spent in a state of decadence, it was Manager Yin who cleaned up the mess he left behind.

Press the answer button, and a clear, cold voice immediately rings out.

"Mr. Chen, due to the sudden departure of Supervisor Wang, Team Leader Sun, and some employees, rumors are rampant and people are in a state of panic within the company. Only your personal intervention can stabilize the situation."

"In addition, all the funds in the company's accounts were transferred by Manager Wang. I have initiated legal proceedings to hold Manager Wang accountable. However, before that, you need to raise 300,000 yuan in advance to pay for next month's employee salaries, rent, utilities, and other expenses."

Upon hearing that he had incurred another 300,000 yuan in debt, Chen Dong was completely unresponsive.

However, seeing how capable Manager Yin was, Chen Dong couldn't help but feel that the best thing the original owner had ever done was to hire Manager Yin.

After instructing Manager Yin to gather the company employees in the conference room, Chen Dong left home and rushed to the company.

Without the system, he might have chosen to abandon the Star Card Games company founded by the original owner, but after the system appeared, Chen Dong's mind immediately became active.

He could very well start with StarCard Games and gradually build a massive gaming empire.

……

Inside a building near the Second Ring Road in Hangzhou.

When Chen Dong stepped into the conference room, more than a dozen pairs of eyes fell on him.

Starcard Games is not a large company. Apart from the three employees who left with his two so-called brothers, there are only thirteen people left.

Facing a group of faces with varying expressions, Chen Dong calmly sat down in the main seat.

He knew that as a company leader, he had to appear calm and composed in order to dispel any suspicions in his employees' minds.

Chen Dong glanced at the employees present and, seeing that everyone had lowered their heads, and that the atmosphere was just right, then he spoke.

"Recently, due to the departure of some employees, there have been many rumors circulating within the company. Please do not believe or spread rumors. The company is operating normally, so please rest assured."

"Given the recent restlessness and lack of focus on work, I've decided to grant everyone three days of paid leave. Please get some rest!"

After a brief silence, the words were followed by cheers that nearly lifted the ceiling.

Upon seeing this, Chen Dong couldn't help but smile.

The idea of ​​giving employees paid leave was something he came up with on his way to the company to boost morale.

In addition, since the company hasn't had much business lately, it's better to give the employees a few days off than to leave them idle at the company.

In retrospect, this method has proven to be quite effective.

After everyone left the meeting room, Chen Dong kept Manager Yin behind alone.

Yin Qingying wasn't very old, but her expression was cold, and she exuded an aura that kept strangers at bay. She was wearing a business suit.

In the original owner's memories, she was a rigid, boring person whose mind was only focused on work.

Chen Dong knew that she wouldn't leave him when he was at his lowest point and needed help the most.

Otherwise, if Yin Qingying wanted to leave, she could have left a month ago.

However, Chen Dong still planned to share his thoughts with her.

"Manager Yin, although the company is currently facing some difficulties, I will not give up on Xingka and will lead Xingka out of this predicament. Please rest assured."

Chen Dong spoke sincerely, but Yin Qingying's answer was somewhat unexpected, yet also reasonable.

"Mr. Chen, the contract I signed with you doesn't expire until the end of next month. Until then, I will do my best to complete the work within my responsibilities, so please rest assured."

After saying that, Yin Qingying walked out of the conference room without looking back, leaving only the crisp sound of her high heels on the ground.

Watching Yin Qingying walk out of the company gate, Chen Dong couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle.

She seems to have... misunderstood what she meant.
