Chapter 21: Chapter 21 Relatives (Request for Monthly Ticket)
"President Zheng, good morning."
Upon seeing Zheng Can, Shen Siyuan greeted him out of courtesy, but not with much enthusiasm.
"Good morning."
Zheng Can was much more enthusiastic than before, even casting an inquisitive look at Shen Siyuan.
But Shen Siyuan pretended not to see it.
Zheng Can was a complicated person, and in any case, Shen Siyuan wasn't very fond of him.
Lacking in capability, he relied solely on flattery to get to his current position, thanks to his exceptional relationship with the president of Guanghui Animation.
As a leader, he didn't have many of his own ideas, often flip-flopping, resulting in the online gaming department frequently engaging in pointless tasks, which made many employees have a low opinion of him.
Compared to the soaring single-player department, with salaries rising every year, the online gaming department was stagnating, with no salary raises for three years. At the annual company meetings, they also had to endure pointed criticism from leaders, making everyone unhappy with him.
Zheng Can saw Shen Siyuan walk towards the operations department and turned his head to greet Jiang Wenxin.
However, compared to Shen Siyuan, his greeting was even more enthusiastic.
"Accountant Jiang, good morning."
But Jiang Wenxin just nodded indifferently. Zheng Can, not annoyed by her reaction, enthusiastically asked if she had breakfast.
Jiang Wenxin held a unique position within the company; even Zheng Can, as part of the senior management, had to keep a smiling face around her.
Jiang Wenxin gave him a brief response before heading straight to the finance department.
Watching her walking away, Zheng Can then turned his head back to look in the direction of the operations department.
Settling down at his own desk, Shen Siyuan turned on the computer, tossed the trash bag from his finished breakfast, and then took out his phone, only to find several unread messages.

Looking through them, it turned out that Ding Youguang and Zhou Zhengdao had started a group chat and were bombarding it with messages.
"Brother Shen, you know Accountant Jiang..."
"Shen Siyuan, big shot, have you hooked up with a wealthy lady? Don't forget your poor friends when you're living the high life..."
"You've kept it so close to the chest, could it be you're some young master experiencing life in the company..."
"Don't you dare get serious..."
"We're all brothers in the same trench; you can't abandon the masses..."
"Tell us, you're just as broke as we are, right?"
Seeing the back and forth between the two, Shen Siyuan was amused by their banter.
"It's just an acquaintance, don't let your imagination run wild," Shen Siyuan replied.
"Just an acquaintance?"
"Listen to you, are you even speaking human language?"
"I know her too, why doesn't she ask if I've had breakfast?"
"You say it was extra, but that bag never even opened, do you think we're blind?"
"Aaaah, you're really something, finally taking the road less traveled, with a bright future ahead..."
"Although Accountant Jiang is rich and beautiful, Shen Siyuan, oh Shen Siyuan, you can't be like that, tsk, I'm disappointed in you, unless you introduce her to me..."
"Seriously, it's just an acquaintance, stop talking nonsense, both of you. Accountant Jiang thinks I'm a good person and wants to set me up with someone," Shen Siyuan explained.
There was nothing to hide about this. Everyone worked in the same company, bumping into each other often. Given Jiang Wenxin's attitude towards him, it was only a matter of time before people noticed their relationship, so he might as well be upfront about it.
"Set you up with someone, why should she?"
```
"I'm not talking about anyone else, but in what way am I not better than you? I'm more ambitious than you, better looking than you, why wouldn't she introduce me?"
"I earn a higher salary than you, my technical skills are better than yours, coding for me is like an art form, why wouldn't she introduce me?"
"Believe it or not, I don't have time to talk nonsense with you guys. This morning I've already worked on the strategy for the fishing game."
When it came to business, both of them tightened up and stopped joking around.
Shen Siyuan thought this issue would blow over, but not long after starting work, Zhou Chuan, who was sitting across from him, sent him a message to inquire.
"What's your relationship with Accountant Jiang?"
Shen Siyuan was startled upon hearing this, not expecting the matter to spread so quickly, but he soon realized it must have been Zheng Can who came to ask.
After some thought, he sent a message back: "She is a distant relative of mine."
Then, he opened his phone and used WeChat to contact Jiang Wenxin to keep their stories consistent.
Jiang Wenxin replied almost instantly, agreeing directly.
At that moment, she was texting with her husband about the incident that morning, still in shock.
They had always thought that Shen Siyuan was just a strange person with some unusual skills, but strange people are still people.
Yet what he showed that morning was beyond what humans are capable of.
With the titles of protector and Divine Skills, especially the marvels shown by Dou Dou, one can tell at a glance that they are extremely extraordinary.
Earlier, Jiang Wenxin appeared calm, but in fact, her legs were slightly weak, her mind constantly pondering over Shen Siyuan's identity.
This is why, even when Zheng Can greeted her with his status, she only responded perfunctorily, as she really didn't have the mindset to pay attention to him at that time.
"I've never heard you mention this before."
Zhou Chuan was also surprised to hear Shen Siyuan say this.
"You guys never asked." Shen Siyuan said.
Zhou Chuan sent a sticker of a dog's head over, then did not continue to ask further, likely going back to report to Zheng Can.
Shen Siyuan didn't bother with him anymore and instead opened the fishing game strategy, continuing to refine it.
The gameplay of the fishing game was simple, but the strategy wasn't.
Firstly, one must consider the variety of fish and points, on top of that, different fish require varying levels of difficulty to catch.
Also, consideration needed to be given to when certain fish appear, at which level they appear, etc.
Furthermore, Shen Siyuan also re-optimized the leaderboard, in addition to the top ten being rewarded, points could also be used for a lucky draw.
This was mainly to prevent some players who had no hope of competing for the top ten from giving up, providing a use for their points, and to find ways to use them up.
This meant a lot more things had to be considered.
With the morning ticking away, Shen Siyuan rushed to produce the first version of the strategy, then directly sent it to a group chat including several people.
At this time, Li Qunfang was also added to the group, the group name changed to [Fishing Man Fishing the Universe], a very adolescent yet spirited name. Shen Siyuan initially thought it was Ding Youguang who changed it, but later found out it was Li Qunfang who did so.
"Let's start with a first version and see how it goes. As for the images of the different fish, we can find some resources online or unpack some from other fishing games. @Li Qunfang, you'll adjust and modify these resources later, this will speed up our project progress..."
"Shen Siyuan's idea is good."
Ding Youguang was elated upon hearing this, as he had not thought of this point.
Don't blame Shen Siyuan for not going offline, as now all game companies do this—re-skin one game's code to release as many new games as possible to make money.
And for the various fish resources, they are not used directly but as a "reference", which is already quite ethical professionally.
Shen Siyuan gave further instructions; with this, the part of the project that belonged to him was considered done, at most, he would make some optimizations later.
Busy all morning, the afternoon naturally involved slacking off and killing time until the end of work, when Lin Manzhi stopped him to remind him about meeting Jiang Tingyu tonight.
"Can't forget, I'll head over now." Shen Siyuan said.
But when he left the company, he found Tao Guangsha waiting at the staircase entrance.
