He exclaimed excitedly:
"Haven't we been struggling with Su Yufan's endorsement lately? President Lu is telling us that we don't need to compete with Youyi for celebrity endorsements because, in the game, every player is the protagonist of the game world. They don't need someone else to endorse them.
They themselves are the ones who will laugh and play to their heart's content in the game. Every player is an ambassador for the game!"
Business Operations Manager Lin Ying:
"So, should we launch an event both inside and outside the game to hire all players as ambassadors?"
Liu Mengyuan's eyes lit up:
"That's a great idea. It can both counter Youyi's provocation and bring us closer to the players."
After some discussion, they looked at the solutions they had compiled and were surprised to find that all of Youyi's attacks had been cracked one by one under President Lu's guidance and hints.
And President Lu had only offered a few lines of motivational platitudes throughout the whole process.
Zhang Fan couldn't help but be moved:
"Initially, I didn't understand President Lu's decision to bring us on this team-building trip, but now I see how shallow I was.
President Lu is truly a man of great talent and meticulous planning, seeing through all our troubles from beginning to end."
Zhao Yuhang nodded:
"The most important thing is that President Lu didn't simply and rudely order us what to do, but instead used a fun and educational approach to allow us to gradually understand and grow. It's really hard to find a boss who cares about his employees like that."
Sun Rou also said with feeling:
"Moreover, under President Lu's guidance and hints, I really feel like I'm making significant progress!
Joining Peach Blossom Village these past few months, I feel like it's truly a paradise where hard work pays off. No matter how difficult the task, as long as you practice repeatedly, you're bound to improve.
The growth I've experienced in these few months has far exceeded the sum of my entire career in the past few years.
This must be thanks to President Lu… oh, and President Liu."
Liu Mengyuan's small mouth curved into a smile, but she didn't say anything.
Girl, you're not wrong about that.
Just kidding, with the guaranteed system in place, even the dumbest bird can eventually fly as long as you keep working hard, anything is possible!
...
That night, Peach Blossom Village's official Weibo posted another picture.
The picture showed a pitch-black silhouette with a large question mark on top.
"The global ambassador for 'Carefree Mouth Cannon Life' will be announced soon, stay tuned!"
As soon as this Weibo post was released, it instantly attracted a lot of attention.
Everyone started guessing the identity of the ambassador.
Su Yufan's fans said:
"Heh, my brother is already the TOP1 in the country. No matter what top-tier young celebrity you find, they can't compare to him."
"Wait, is Peach Blossom Village planning to find Wang Zixin, the prince of the entertainment industry, to be the ambassador? I remember he likes playing games."
"Wang Zixin? Just some obscure 18th-tier artist, how dare he compete with my brother?"
Soon, they were besieged by Wang Zixin's fans:
"Oh yes, your brother is so awesome, acting like a big shot on set, canceling events offline. Looking at your uncivilized behavior, it's no wonder the fans are like their master."
"Who doesn't know that your movie emperor awards were all bought? If you're so capable, go get a Grammy nomination abroad like my brother Zixin."
The comments section quickly became a fierce battlefield. The two fan groups' infighting directly pushed this Weibo post to the 10th trending spot.
At this time, Peach Blossom Village's fans and Youyi's internet trolls were trembling as they watched the battle, not daring to interrupt.
...
Youyi Headquarters, Shi Yi's office.
He frowned as he looked at Peach Blossom Village's latest Weibo post, and said suspiciously: "With Peach Blossom Village's current size and financial resources, who can they possibly afford to hire?"
Zou Zhongtian comforted him:
"President Shi, please relax. Among the younger generation in the entertainment industry, Su Yufan is at the top in terms of both status and popularity. Peach Blossom Village can't possibly afford those old veterans who are even higher in status than him.
Besides, even if they could get them to agree out of respect, they wouldn't be able to afford it."
Shi Yi nodded slightly.
You see, Su Yufan's signing endorsement fee is as high as 50 million.
Since Peach Blossom Village's games are all operated on the Youyi platform, they naturally know Peach Blossom Village's revenue like the back of their hand.
They definitely don't have the money to sign older, more famous actors.
As long as the ambassador's status is not as high as Su Yufan, he will have a way to fight back.
Thinking of this, he relaxed.
...
Wednesday.
After the two-day team-building event in the ancient city of Gusu, the bus drove back to Peach Blossom Village's headquarters.
After getting off the bus, Lu Yu clapped his hands:
"Everyone doesn't need to go upstairs to turn on their computers. Just go straight home. We're on vacation until next Monday!"
Considering that the project team had been crunching for the past few days, the system didn't pop up with a warning about negative slacking.
Everyone looked at each other.
Mo Xiaoxuan tentatively asked: "President Lu, why don't we work for two more days on Wednesday and Thursday? After all, the game will be launched on Friday. Let us stand guard for the last shift..."
Lu Yu was shocked. If he let them continue developing in the company, what if they accidentally created a huge hit at the last moment?
Wouldn't all his efforts in this round be in vain?
The closer it gets to the final moment, the more cautious he needs to be.
Lu Yu sighed and shook his head:
"Xiaoxuan, I always thought you were a laid-back... oh no, a smart and progressive employee. Why are you being so confused again as soon as you get back? Did you not listen to my heartfelt teachings in the ancient town?"
Mo Xiaoxuan was shocked and quickly said: "Please forgive my ignorance. I will carefully understand President Lu's words."
"Eh, that's right." Lu Yu patted him on the shoulder.
Overall, this young man has performed well in this round, accumulating 49 critical hits, only one critical hit away from completing the serendipity mission.
But Lu Yu wasn't worried about this. He had already figured out how to trigger a critical hit for the other party in the next two days.
So, he leaned in and said in his ear:
"I know you're anxious about the project as a producer, but think carefully, even if you're on vacation at home, there are things you can do to contribute to everyone in the project team..."
Mo Xiaoxuan thought for a moment and whispered:
"Could it be that President Lu is talking about milk candy..."
He was interrupted by Lu Yu halfway through his sentence.
"Eh, it's good that you know it in your heart. Don't say it out loud. Give your colleagues some surprises."
Although everyone didn't know what President Lu and Mo Xiaoxuan were secretly talking about, they still obediently listened and went back to their respective homes.
Looking at the departing figures, Lu Yu secretly rejoiced in his heart, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curve into a smug arc.
Very good, he finally managed to tame this group of workaholics. Next, he just needs to let Mo Xiaoxuan crossdress at home to trigger a critical hit and wait for the system to settle. Hundreds of thousands of pocket money are waving at him!
As long as the game isn't a huge hit, the next round can continue to cycle.
The current situation is simply full of vitality, a scene of all things competing to thrive.
The advantage is on my side!
Suddenly!
The employees who had reached the intersection all turned back to look at Lu Yu.
Crap!
Lu Yu quickly straightened the crooked arc of his mouth and pretended to be calm and experienced.
Because he was trying so hard to hold back his laughter, the muscles on his face were a little distorted.
Hold it in! Lu Yu! Don't let the corners of your mouth turn up!
...
That afternoon, NGA forum, game gossip section.
A newly appeared post's popularity soared.
"Yesterday at 2 AM, I accidentally passed by Youyi Building, and one floor was brightly lit"
2nd floor reply:
"I know about this. That floor is the 'Boss Simulator' project team. I have a roommate who works there."
"Every morning, we're about to get up, and he opens the door to go home like a walking corpse. I'm worried that if this continues, he's going to give up..."
3rd floor reply:
"Wow, we're already outrageous enough working overtime until 9:30 PM. Are game companies this crazy?"
4th floor reply:
"Not all companies are like this. Recently, a manor called Peach Blossom Village was renovated near my neighborhood. They get off work before dark every day, and the employees who come out of there all have rosy complexions and are well-maintained. I suspect that's Peach Blossom Village's office building, but I haven't dared to go in to confirm it."
After saying that, he POed a casually taken photo of the manor.
At this time, faintly seeing through the glass door, it was only 3 PM, and the manor was already deserted.
5th floor reply:
"You're talking nonsense. Let me just say, Peach Blossom Village is a game company, it's impossible for them to get off work so early. The manor you posted is clearly a hot spring health spa. What's wrong, are you bullying me for not having been there?"
6th floor reply:
"Upstairs, you're the one talking nonsense. If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense!"
"This is clearly the 'City That Never Sleeps' nightclub, and it's the most high-end type. Only big shots are qualified to go in and spend money."
7th floor reply:
"In short, whether it's a health spa or a nightclub, it can't possibly be a game company. Which game company boss who's been scratched bald would set up his office building in this kind of place?"
...
"Achoo!"
At this time, Lu Yu, who had already returned home with Liu Mengyuan, sneezed three times in a row.
"Who the hell is talking bad about me again?!"
Lu Yu rubbed his nose and continued to leisurely read philosophy books in the study.
In the interlayer, there was a newly arrived doujinshi.
He secretly glanced at Liu Mengyuan with a guilty conscience. She was lying on the bed playing with her laptop, her black silk-clad beautiful feet fluttering happily.
He breathed a sigh of relief and continued reading.
At this time, all the members of the Mouth Cannon Life project team were online and on standby on Liu Mengyuan's computer screen.
She smiled slightly and typed a line of text: "Let's start the final development work of the game."
