ADAPTED FROM JINJIANG LITERATURE CITY NOVELS

WRITTEN BY TWENTINE (ZHOU AIHUA)

I can understand your fear.

I was watching and my legs were shaking that day.

But you were really pushed down.

They've gone too far.

Even if you really ruin our game,

it's just a game.

But that's a game you developed.

Not only me.

It's a result of everyone's work in this company.

You didn't expect it would have such dire consequences, did you?

You thought it would not be a big deal even if you were caught

hacking such a small company.

But even a small company

contains other people's efforts.

Don't underestimate them.

Li Xun told me about you.

Would you like to go somewhere with me?

Where is this place?

Go in and have a look.

Have a look.

This room and all your stuff

are kept for you.

You've been dawdling for so long.

You didn't even leave downtown,

let alone go abroad.

You were just waiting for him to find you.

ANTS CLIMBING A TREE, INGREDIENTS, METHOD

Only he thinks of me as a person.

Li Xun won't leave.

You know him.

We still have something to do.

If you really care about him,

just come and live here.

PASSWORD

How is it?

It's done.

You're a great political commissar.

You did a good job of persuading people.

What should we do next?

What should we do?

What should we do?

You two always have many ideas.

Don't ask me.

If it's up to us,

let's bind him to a rock and drown him.

What nonsense are you saying?

That's why I asked you what to do.

Let him stay in the company.

Do you accept it?

If you don't keep him by your side,

what if he does something bad again?

And if he escapes from the city,

can you catch him?

It's better to keep him by our side.

Didn't you also say that he is strong?

Our company is short of labor.

It would be best if he could help us.

I love that.

You give priority to the company's interests.

But he is a little ugly

and will detract the overall look of our company.

I'm leaving. I'm on vacation.

I'm the boss. Did you apply for leave?

Is she always like this?

She was much lovelier when she was a little timid.

She's always lovely

because she's good-looking.

Hou Ning.

I'll say the same thing.

If you want to leave,

I won't keep you.

But if you work with me,

I can let you be a dignified person.

I know.

How is Zhu Yun's cooking?

It's horrible.

She finally has a weakness.

Ms. Zhu,

why didn't you get a red background?

This one doesn't look good.

Get down. Be careful.

What are you doing?

You even climbed up.

Mr. Dong, have a look.

What is this?

Look over here.

I can't understand wherever I look at it.

Let me explain.

New slogan.

Look. This is written by our Ms. Zhu.

That means "you."

The last word is "money."

You know this as you play games. It's "devil."

"If you have money, you can be a devil."

Illiterate.

It's "You can make money without doing evil."

Well said.

You can make money without doing evil.

Why do you point at me?

Hi.

Hi. Good morning.

Everyone is here.

Let me introduce him.

This is my friend, Hou Ning.

Zhang Fang, Zhao Teng,

-Guo Shijie. -Welcome.

Hou Ning, I'll clear up a place for you later.

Zhao Teng, get him a computer.

I have all the materials ready.

Take a look first.

You can ask Li Xun

if you have any questions.

I'll get a desktop for you.

No need. I've ordered one online.

It will arrive in the afternoon.

All right.

Our company's crappy computer

should have retired.

I have a question.

If he gets a good computer,

will he hack into others' computers faster?

Hush.

Did you hang it up for me?

You're quite self-aware.

Half the people in our company were once in prison.

And considering Hou Ning's behavior

and Mr. Dong's amazing way

of solving problems,

I have to remind you guys at all times.

From this day onward,

I am the president

of the Supervisory Committee of Flying Network.

I will keep an eye on you for Mr. Lin.

Think twice before you act.

Ms. Zhu,

you love being an official.

Do you disagree?

Zhang Fang dislikes Hou Ning.

But it may be a good thing for Hou Ning.

If he wants to live in this society honestly,

he must try to change people's views of him.

He can't escape like before.

But don't worry.

Zhang Fang is warmhearted despite his sharp tongue.

He won't really bully Hou Ning.

You'd better worry about Zhang Fang.

What are you looking at?

By right,

I should be the one staring at you in the company.

Let me warn you.

If you're not serious

and become a drag on the company,

besides Mr. Dong and Li Xun,

I can also teach you a lesson.

Zhang Fang.

The top casino is online.

-One more… -I didn't touch anything.

-What's that? -It's not mine.

-Fang. -You choose me…

I kept them on the online disk.

-I didn't watch it in the office. -Great.

-Rubbish! -No, I…

What are you watching?

Let me take a look.

-This is embarrassing. -Let me see.

What?

Why are you so mean?

Get to work.

Newbie. It was you, wasn't it?

What are you doing? Are you showing off?

I confess

that I've watched it.

But I paid for it myself.

I didn't hurt anyone.

How do you explain it?

Zhang Fang.

I asked him to do it.

We won't do such pranks anymore.

He is a newbie.

Please take care of him.

I'll do it for your sake.

You know, he's exactly like when you first came.

What are you doing?

It's quite noisy.

Are you fighting?

Come here after cleaning up.

I was thinking.

Our Flying Network Shelter

has more and more complete staff.

What do you mean?

-Are you making fun of me? -No.

I dare not.

Next week,

there's the Love Blind Box, right?

It will have a closed beta, right?

If it's delayed by you,

I won't spare you, you know?

Hello?

Dong's Delivery will serve you.

What are your goods?

Okay.

I can't take three people.

Wait for me.

-Wait for me. -Go.

Don't delay your business.

SUBMITTED SUCCESSFULLY

PUBLISH APP

TOTAL USER COUNT, DAILY ACTIVITY RATE, TASK COMPLETION RATE

Why hasn't the number of users increased these days?

Did you realize it?

Zhang Fang, let me ask you.

Did you promote it?

Where did the money go?

I say it in all honesty.

I typed every promotional article

word by word.

So you spent no money.

Do you know

even good wine is afraid of being sold deep in the alley?

Others invest in promotion

as much as their development cost.

Ren Di, do me a favor.

Love Blind Box closed beta three days ago.

But the data is not optimistic.

What a shame.

Isn't this project mainly undertaken by Li Xun?

It is said

that he paid for it himself.

This time,

he bets all he has on it.

Get some people

to copy this game.

Let's make one by ourselves.

Is it worthwhile?

How much will it cost us to make one ourselves?

Don't be too shortsighted.

You just want to leave after earning by being listed?

Although L&P has abundant funds,

we don't have enough backbone projects.

Many games' data will reduce significantly

in three to six months once they go online.

It's not easy to pass the examination and approval by CSRC.

We also need a masterpiece.

A masterpiece?

Do you call this a masterpiece?

This game looks simple and straightforward.

But the market accepts it more easily.

It has a large potential user base.

Once it's played,

it will be quite hot.

The disadvantages of Flying Network are publicity and promotion.

But this is our strong point.

Aren't we fools if we don't launch it earlier

and squeeze them out?

Are you so sure?

Yes.

I want to ask a question I shouldn't ask.

Is it out of your professional judgment?

Or is it for a personal reason?

It's my intuition.

This game will be hot.

This market is too big.

There are too many games that will be hot.

Leave it alone.

We make our money.

Why are you holding onto this?

You don't want to see Li Xun get back up,

right?

I knew it.

If Li Xun so much as farts,

you would run up and smell it.

I disagree.

L&P can't be led by your personal gratitude and resentment.

Fang Zhijing.

Was I the one who blinded your eye?

Have you forgotten that pain?

Anyway, here is my tip.

Even if we develop one now, it's too late.

And even if you make it now,

we'll be more passive

if Li Xun aims at us.

You don't have to worry about that.

I have my own arrangements.

Gather people first.

Ask Dongliang to gather the backbone of the Development Department.

Love Blind Box will go online soon.

There's no time.

Hurry up.

This is it.

-Sorry to keep you waiting. -It's okay.

Here you are.

When did he last come to record?

He will come to record today.

He's delayed by a business dinner.

I think he can leave the band

to specialize in having business dinners.

Wait a moment.

Liu will be back soon.

Don't tell him I was here.

Can't you wait for a while?

Zhu Yun and Li Xun have a project that needs your help.

You can contact them

for specific details.

I have no friendship with them.

If you want me to help,

sit down and talk.

Their company has launched a new game.

Go on.

Here is the thing.

-They want-- -Hello, Mr. Zhao.

I must have a taste of your good wine.

Okay.

Okay, I'll be there right away.

Are you not recording a song today?

Are you kidding? Mr. Zhao is waiting.

Ren Di.

Don't you want to know who Mr. Zhao is?

Fill up.

Mr. Zhao.

We were wrong last time.

I hope that you will let go of nobodies like us.

Come on. Cheers.

Mr. Zhao is the actual controller of Dongting International.

He strongly advocated signing five albums.

When you quit Light Red,

he was angry.

How much do we need to compensate?

I'll pay.

Mr. Zhao is not short of money.

He teamed up with a slew of record labels

in order to block you.

Whatever.

After leaving Light Red,

I won't play music anymore.

I know you don't care.

But Liu does.

He always thinks you are the soul of Light Red.

Light Red can't develop without you.

Come on.

-Let's drink to our hearts' content! -Cheers.

Cheers.

He has been drinking

and socializing with people from record companies these days,

begging them not to block you.

You…

Ren Di.

Come back.

Let go.

Come back.

Ren Di.

Don't leave me, okay?

They're just taking a picture that doesn't show his face.

Is it necessary to be so grand?

Now, you know

how those so-called life photos

were taken.

Every angle is carefully designed.

Everything that is exposed

has its intention.

But the band needs exposure.

You won't show your face.

So he helps.

You do your duties and cooperate tacitly.

It's good.

When it comes to this, I feel angry.

We have to live like a dummy.

But Li Xun reminds you

not to mention this game

when you post on the microblog.

Don't act like it's an advertisement.

It's natural for people to dig for details.

You two really amaze me.

That's his idea.

It has nothing to do with me.

You both aim at me.

But think carefully.

When did you two ever leave me alone?

Last time, you came to ask for money.

And this time, he called me

and told me to meet him.

Aren't you busy with activities every day?

He doesn't care about that.

I pushed it aside and went to meet him.

I don't think he has changed at all.

He is just like when he was a freshman.

We despised each other,

but somewhat,

what's that phrase?

"Like knows like."

Yes, exactly. You know what?

I remember a sentence he said to me before.

He said that affection is a diamond cutting diamond,

but love is letting go of ourselves.

Did he say that?

Actually, I really envy you two.

You haven't changed for so many years.

Both of you have clear goals

and can let go of yourselves for each other.

When he was just released from prison,

seeing him looking like a jerk,

I really thought he deserved it.

I hoped he would live a miserable life.

But now,

I still hope he can succeed.

L&P will be listed soon.

This is the last chance.

Are you still short of money?

Li Xun didn't go out to get investment,

which means he thinks we can survive.

If you earn money easily, you will feel bored.

I'm an example.

In the past, when I was poor,

I strived for every opportunity to perform.

But now…

JIN CHENG: A SHORT RELAXING TIME

JIN CHENG AND I PLAYED THE SAME GAME

ARE YOU READY TO PLAY LOVE BLIND BOX TOGETHER?

TOTAL USER COUNT, DAILY ACTIVITY RATE

ANY TIPS FOR LEVEL CLEARANCE TO SHARE?

IT'S A GOOD GAME, SHARING IT WITH EVERYONE

MY INCOME, ACCUMULATED INCOME

TREASURE MAGAZINE, SHOOTING IN PROGRESS

Okay. One more.

-The next group will be here soon. -Okay.

-Get ready. -Okay.

This way, everyone.

Okay, take one more.

-Let's take another group photo series. -Okay.

-Hello, sir. I need to apply makeup. -No need.

I'll finish soon.

-Come on. -Where do I stand?

-Pick a spot. -I'm standing here.

You should sit here.

You two stand here.

Come on.

-Let's change positions. -He is short.

Wait!

-What's wrong, Mr. Dong? -What's wrong?

-I thought you would dole out money. -Cool.

Let's take a serious picture first.

-A cool one. -Okay.

I haven't taken pictures for several years.

I think

the two group leaders should take a group picture alone.

One, two, three.

Come on.

One, two, three.

Wearing it feels rigid.

Everyone looks good in this one.

No way. Half of my face is blocked.

Yes, just this one.

Why? My face is blocked.

Just take this one.

Just this one.

When you wear this suit,

you look like one of the top 50

on the Forbes list.

Enough.

Look at this shot.

I look like a fool.

It's really good. Why do you belittle yourself?

Yes. You don't look like Guo Xiaojian.

That suit belongs to your dad, right?

Why do you dress like a manager in the lobby?

Stop it!

I dress like a private car driver.

Who are you mocking?

Don't insult private car drivers.

What's wrong? I've improved their level…

That's it.

Look.

Why does this look like that…

Right.

Let's just say a wedding photo.

Yes, exactly.

They're a good match.

Change the background color to red later.

One, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand…

100,000…

Three million. Did I count it correctly?

Seriously, look.

Our Love Blind Box has been online for less than half a month

and the current income is three million yuan.

What does this mean?

It will be more than 100 million yuan in a year and five months!

Yes!

Why are you so vulgar?

You just focus on money.

You know what?

This means

our business is successful!

-We succeeded! -We succeeded!

-You know-- -Our marketing is well done.

Once it became a keyword,

its search number increased quickly.

But at this moment,

I shrunk its registration number

and released 4,000 accounts a day.

I don't care who plays it.

This is called hunger marketing!

I must let them know that being able to play this game

is something remarkable to brag about.

That's it!

Of course

it is mainly because of Mr. Dong's great leadership

and Li Xun's good plan.

So you have to keep up with the later publicity.

Rest assured.

I'll listen to whatever you say later.

You and Li Xun are the two gods of our company.

Where's Li Xun?

Last night, he updated the patch and stayed up all night.

He is sleeping inside now.

He works so hard.

If you turn it off, he'll wake up.

He doesn't like the dark.

Why?

Because the prison's lights are on 24 hours a day.

What's the current income?

You're still worried about that?

If you keep going like this, you will collapse.

Hurry home and go to bed.

Our Development Department has studied Love Blind Box.

To make a similar game,

at least half a year is needed.

Does this small game

take so long?

Their game is very strange.

It has many game settings we haven't seen before.

If there is no template,

it's difficult to achieve.

If we make one ourselves,

how long will it take?

At least

four months.

Hou Ning is good at taking care of people.

You can't always stay up.

The company won't go bankrupt without you.

What are you thinking about?

I was thinking.

If I'm not guessing wrong,

Gao Jianhong is trying to find a way

to copy the codes of Love Blind Box.

I see.

In the past,

you wouldn't pay much effort into games

like Love Blind Box.

You focus on it

because L&P is going to be listed soon

and you need to hurry up

and try your best to push it to the top.

You want to lure Gao Jianhong to plagiarize

and then sue them for infringement.

Are my things so easy to imitate?

If I don't give him the source code,

they will take at least half a year

to copy a little of this game.

No wonder when I read the code of Love Blind Box,

I found many strange places.

You used to write code that was very readable.

But this time, you used a lot of complicated structures.

The more unique the code,

the more traps there would be.

But even if they fall into the trap,

are we really going to give them half a year

to make counterfeit goods?

So…

I will give them the source code directly.

I've checked

cases of game infringement in China.

If it's just a simple imitation,

it's hard to win.

Putting aside whether we can afford the lawyer's fees,

the backlog of game copyright lawsuits in China

won't be completed in ten years.

If we really fight a war of attrition with L&P,

we'll go bankrupt first.

Don't worry.

Gao Jianhong is more worried than us.

Who else knows about this plan?

Hou Ning and Dong Siyang.

And you.

How about Zhao Teng and the others?

They don't know.

Remember.

The fewer people who know it, the better.

How will you let them get the source code?

Will Gao Jianhong copy it directly?

Don't worry about that.

They are used to using evil ways.

They wouldn't take what I give them directly.

Gao Jianhong has been copying successful projects.

The reason why they can grow

is that the game market is too chaotic.

China has a large number of users.

They are highly tolerant

of those fresh games.

But what is empty is empty after all.

People can't be stupid forever.

When users increase,

these companies without independent R&D capability

will go bankrupt.

But how can users increase

within just a few months?

L&P will be listed soon.

Will they take this risk?

I'll force him to copy.

Such a small company is like a clown for us.

Remarketing won't help them.

Its annual income must be less

than our company's monthly income.

Gao.

You must not be led on by Li Xun.

My review materials will be submitted soon.

Now is the most critical time.

For the company,

-you must bear with it. -Flying Network has only been founded

-for a year -Mr. Gao.

-and has published Love Blind Box. -Mr. Gao.

What's your next goal?

To be number one in the industry.

That's really ambitious.

But considering the industrial giants,

like L&P as your competitors,

in terms of their strength…

Strength?

What kind of strength do you think L&P has?

Copy and paste?

Companies like that

are not worthy of being our competitor.

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH LI XUN

Gao.

Even if Li Xun develops eight games like Love Blind Box,

he won't be a threat to us.

He's intending to irritate you.

I'll tell you one last time.

Take care of what you should do.

Don't tell me what to do.

If you don't want to work,

you can leave.

But I must do this.

Got it.

These people are stubborn.

At first look, it's from Southeast Asia.

That's old-school hacking style.

Nothing new.

How about we show weakness

and let Gao Jianhong take the source code away?

We've fought with them once.

With our strength,

if we let him take the code away,

would they dare to copy it directly?

Then I'll do my best.

You are not allowed to enter here casually.

What are you hacking?

I almost forgot

you can understand it.

What do you think?

What has been the hottest thing recently?

Is this the backend data of Love Blind Box?

What are you up to?

I want to see if there's anything to learn from.

Do you want to steal the source code?

In the past, you copied others.

Now you'll even steal the source code?

You're breaking the law, you know?

These hackers are in Malaysia.

They can't find us.

Isn't the company going public?

You really pick the right time.

It's none of my business.

I've said all that I should say.

You can have a talk.

Why are you like Fang Zhijing?

Do you only care about money?

You deal with Li Xun in such a dirty way.

Is that what you want?

If you want to go to prison, leave me alone.

Let's get divorced.

You've been wanting to say this

for a long time, right?

That's what you really want to say.

You don't need to cover it up.

If you want a divorce, just tell me.

Count your losses first.

Don't be a loss leader.

You're incorrigible.

I'm entering it.

This firewall looks like paper.

Let's draw the snake out of the hole.

Then go straight to the nest.

-Why? -What's going on?

Okay, that's it.

-Why is my computer like this? -What should we do?

-How can we work like this? -What happened to the computer?

How did it turn out like this?

MY HEART FLYING NETWORK COMPANY

Luna.

This was just delivered to our store.

Mr. Gao said you would like it.

It suits you.

This diamond is 12.13 carats.

It's your birthday.

Mr. Gao specifically customized it for you.

Do you like it?

It's not my birthday.

I just wanted to give you a gift.

It doesn't matter what day it is.

Do you still remember?

The first time we ate together

was in a restaurant like this.

You and me at that time…

Of course I remember.

Nana.

I'm sorry.

When I proposed to you,

I promised

I would never be angry with you.

But I failed.

I was also impulsive that day.

But have you considered

what I said?

Divorce.

We won't talk about that today.

Don't you want to stay in Paris for a while?

I'll go with you.

We can buy a house together.

You can apply for a school to get a master's degree.

Gao.

Actually, you don't have to give me anything.

I just think

we haven't had a meal like this

and talked like this for a long time.

I thought

as long as I succeeded in my career,

my family would naturally be better.

But I overlooked the most important thing.

Your feelings.

All relationships

need to be cared for.

Nana.

I'm sorry

for ignoring your feelings.

Can you give me another chance?

I especially want

to thank someone.

That's Gao Jianhong, the CEO of L&P.

Mr. Gao.

Are you jealous?

Later, more and more women

will show up around Li Xun.

You'll regret it.

Li Xun.

Do you really think no one can defeat you?
