My Virtual Girlfriend-Chapter 288

Chen Yan was curious about the thought processes of these young heirs.

So, he looked at He Mengxue and asked, "Why don’t you share?"

He Mengxue gave Chen Yan a glance and lazily said, "But why should I tell you? What if you steal my idea?"

During her speech, her eyes twinkled with mirth, as if she was intentionally teasing Chen Yan.

But Chen Yan didn’t fall for it, and he said, "I think what you’re saying makes sense. Let’s talk about Zhao Xuan instead."

He Mengxue: ...

She gave Chen Yan a reproachful look, "Can’t you press on a bit?"

Chen Yan shook his head, "I wasn’t very interested to begin with. We just happened to come to this topic."

He Mengxue: ...

"Scared you, didn’t I?"

While saying this, she poured herself a glass of alcohol, took a sip, and then began to explain, "Actually, my plan is quite simple. And it also utilizes our family’s existing resources."

"It even... involves you somewhat."

Hearing He Mengxue’s words, Chen Yan was a bit surprised, "Me?"

He Mengxue swirled her whiskey glass. She was drinking whisky, holding a beautiful iceberg glass, with the amber liquid swaying beautifully inside.

Additionally, with the ice cubes in it, as they swirled around, a chill diffused, making it very appetizing.

She took a gentle sip and said, "Yes."

"It’s based on the game translation and localization development plan you talked to me about before."

"I think it might be a business opportunity."

"I plan to start a type of foreign trade company. Buy the overseas rights for some excellent domestic games, then after translating and localizing them, release them abroad."

"There are many fun games domestically, I believe this will be a good business opportunity."

Hearing He Mengxue’s words, Chen Yan’s brow furrowed slightly as he began to consider the prospects of this industry.

To be accurate, there were prospects. Having the domestic market for testing, the quality of games chosen would definitely be outstanding. Buying rights and then pushing them into the international market after translation could be highly profitable if they became popular.

As long as one managed the cultural differences that affect game sales, the risks were relatively controllable.

But the problem was... wasn’t this market a bit small?

For moderately successful game companies, as long as their games perform well, they would like himself, begin to layout overseas strategies, not turn to external companies.

And for some less powerful small companies... it’s really hard to produce a hit.

So, this market was overall a bit niche, and even if it made money, it surely wouldn’t make a lot. Compared to the volume and market value of Wutong Group, it was almost negligible.

So thinking this, Chen Yan shook his head and said, "I feel this might not be as good as you think..."

He Mengxue seemed to have anticipated Chen Yan’s response; she rested her cheek in her hand while tipsily and interestedly watching him, "Oh? Do tell."

Chen Yan shared all the thoughts he had just pondered with He Mengxue. ƒreewebɳovel.com

He Mengxue listened while nodding but kept her opinions to herself.

This left Chen Yan somewhat puzzled, unsure what this woman was planning to do.

After he finished speaking, He Mengxue finally revealed her aim, saying, "Chen Yan. What do you think if my company not only buys the rights but also takes on some game translation and localization outsourcing?"

Hearing this, Chen Yan’s eyes lit up, "That’s great."

"If you can operate on a large scale, bringing overall costs down, and offer lower prices, you would definitely be competitive."

"This way, many smårt teams with popular works could partner with you."

"Even projects from our company could be outsourced to you for translation and localization."

He Mengxue smiled faintly, "Isn’t that great? This would fill a gap in your industrial chain. The growth of your gaming empire would be even faster."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yan suddenly understood He Mengxue’s intention.

He was a bit surprised and said, "Are you doing this for me?"

He Mengxue nodded, not denying it, "Sort of."

"Moreover, I also thought it could make a bit of money, so I wanted to try."

"If it could help you, that would be even better."

Chen Yan looked at her, momentarily at a loss for words.

Just now, Chen Yan analyzed the industry’s development from a third-party perspective, so he overlooked his own factor. Now being part of it, Chen Yan realized... her company was entirely meant to complement his own industry.

So he looked at He Mengxue seriously and asked, "Then what do you... want?"

He Mengxue looked at him and replied lazily, "What can you give me?"

Chen Yan coughed and said, "I have a girlfriend."

He Mengxue chuckled lightly, "More than one, actually."

Chen Yan’s heart tightened, just about to question her investigation on him.

But then he heard He Mengxue laugh mischievously, "So it’s true."

Chen Yan looked at her, dumbfounded.

The woman was laughing heartily, swaying like a rose bush in the wind; she watched Chen Yan say, "I guessed guys like you, wealthy and young, wouldn’t be very loyal. I didn’t expect it to be true."

She leaned close to Chen Yan, very close, her pale face nearly touching Chen Yan’s.

Almost face-to-face, Chen Yan could almost feel her warm breath.

He Mengxue looked into Chen Yan’s eyes and asked curiously, "Let me guess... is it the celebrity?"

Chen Yan knew He Mengxue was referring to Lu Man.

He remained silent. He couldn’t be bothered to explain.

He Mengxue smiled, "Looks like I guessed right."

"And another..."

She inquired curiously, "Is it the Zhao family’s Miss?"

Chen Yan pushed her shoulder, "Enough. Let’s stop this topic."

He Mengxue pouted but leaned in again. She smelled faintly of jasmine, very pleasant.

She whispered in Chen Yan’s ear, "Would you mind switching girlfriends~~?"

"Sister isn’t picky~"

"Any of them would do~~"

That warm breath in Chen Yan’s ear caused him to break out in goosebumps; he hurriedly stepped back and said, "Our relationship is very stable. I’m not planning to change."

He Mengxue looked at Chen Yan, coyly lifting his chin as she said seductively, "What about... adding one more?"

She whispered in seduction, "After all... you already have two, you wouldn’t mind one more, right?"

The bar’s dim light shone on He Mengxue, giving her pale skin an additional layer of soft blur. Although it was winter, the bar was quite warm, and she was wearing a red qipao.

The qipao was figure-hugging, outlining her devilish curves, making her voice sound like a whisper from the abyss, tempting to sin.

"Gulp." Chen Yan swallowed.

He bit his tongue slightly to calm himself.

Then he coughed and stepped back from the chair by two steps, saying, "Let’s not. I... am willing but unable."

He Mengxue looked at Chen Yan, stunned, and then laughed out loud, covering her mouth and doubling over again with laughter.

While laughing, she told Chen Yan, "Chen Yan. You’re so funny."

"This is the first time I’ve seen someone use this as an excuse."

Chen Yan: ...

I wish it were an excuse.

But... I’m really being honest!

Just managing Lu Man, that little fairy, was already a close call. If one more were added, Chen Yan really feared dying in bed.

But he was too lazy to explain.

He returned to his seat and then said, "So... apart from me, think of something else."

He Mengxue smiled and then said, "I was just joking earlier. Just wanted to tease you." (Chen Yan didn’t believe...)

She continued, "Actually... filling your industrial chain, I do have some designs."

Getting to the serious matter, her tone became much more solemn. She said, "I’ve always felt that my father and their ideas are too naive."

"No tide-maker of any era is shaped by just one factor."

"Strength, luck, and timing are all essential."

"Just like my father and his peers, being able to have what they have now also involved a lot of luck and timing."

"So, I think, for our generation, trying to succeed in start-ups is nearly impossible."

"If they don’t lose these hundreds of billions, I think they’re doing quite well."

"So, since that’s the case, I think I might as well hitch my wagon to a star."

Saying this, she looked at Chen Yan and said with a smile, "Like... you."

"I help you complete the industrial chain. You let some broth and water drip down to me."

"If possible, involve me in some other affairs. I reckon securing the first place, integrating all the resources of the families of Qin Island, won’t be a big problem."

Chen Yan looked at He Mengxue.

He was a bit surprised. He had thought He Mengxue wanted to show goodwill towards him, but he hadn’t anticipated this level of goodwill. Well... this wasn’t exactly showing goodwill, more like ’defecting.’

Was she that confident in herself?

Bringing her family’s and Qin Island’s major families’ resources to defect to him?

Saying this, she looked at Chen Yan again with a smile, "Like... you."

"I help you complete the industrial chain. You let some broth and water drip down to me."

"If possible, involve me in some other affairs. I reckon securing the first place, integrating all the resources of the families of Qin Island, won’t be a big problem."

Chen Yan looked at He Mengxue.

He was a bit surprised. He had thought He Mengxue wanted to show goodwill towards him, but he hadn’t anticipated this level of goodwill. Well... this wasn’t exactly showing goodwill, more like ’defecting.’

Saying this, she looked at Chen Yan again with a smile, "Like... you."

"I help you complete the industrial chain. You let some broth and water drip down to me."

"If possible, tag me along for some other affairs. I reckon securing the first place, integrating all the resources of the families of Qin Island, won’t be a big problem."

Chen Yan looked at He Mengxue.

He was a bit surprised. He had thought He Mengxue had intentions of showing him goodwill, but he hadn’t realized it was on this scale. Well... this could hardly be considered showing goodwill anymore, it could better be described as ’defection.’

Was she that confident about herself?

Bringing her family’s resources and the resources from all the prominent families of Qin Island, just to join forces with him?
