Chapter 1048: Call from Lin Da Shao

Tianyu Game Company.

Chairman’s Office.

Xu Shaochen had just finished a meeting and was now resting watching the initial screen of the game.

For the game’s completeness, the company invited a prominent author to write a novel based on the storyline.

This was to promote the game and the novel was already published.

The intention was so people wouldn’t be clueless about the game settings when they played it.

The game’s selling point, aside from the large map and high freedom, was its immersive experience for players.

“Knock knock…”

There was a knock at the door.

“Enter.”

Xu Shaochen spoke without looking up.

“Click click click…”

Hearing the sound of high heels Xu Shaochen finally looked up.

Yuxiu walked in with two cups of tea. “Moisten your throat a bit.”

Yuxiu’s outfit was quite alluring today; a short pink skirt.

Her legs were straight and slender, and her petite feet were in white high heels.

“You look beautiful today.”

Xu Shaochen sincerely complimented, patting his thigh to indicate she could sit.

Yuxiu shyly smiled placing the tea down before sitting on Xu Shaochen’s lap. “Glad you like it I wore it for you.”

She became more submissive to Xu Shaochen doing whatever he said actively looking to please him.

Xu Shaochen had a large birdcage made for her in the bedroom with the bed inside.

Yuxiu felt more like a pet fearing abandonment she sought to please Xu Shaochen.

In this unfamiliar city of Jiangzhou, only seeing Xu Shaochen made her feel secure.

Seeing a psychologist might reveal her mental issues.

Xu Shaochen gently stroked her hair appreciating the elegant beauty in his arms feeling life was perfect.

He now understood why historical emperors had short lives.

Lantern beauties like Yuxiu were too alluring!

An old poem goes ‘young maidens’ tender as milk striking down fools with swords’.

“I want to have your child.”

Yuxiu whispered softly in Xu Shaochen’s ear with a pleading look in her eyes.

Her dependence on Xu Shaochen was so great that if he disagreed she didn’t dare get pregnant taking precautions each time.

She worried these treatments would make future pregnancy difficult prompting her request for a child.

“I can afford it, go ahead.”

Xu Shaochen pinched her smooth cheek, growing more attached to her lovely obedient demeanor.

Yuxiu beamed and embraced Xu Shaochen tighter.

“Ring ring ring…”

Xu Shaochen’s phone on the desk rang.

Yuxiu dutifully handed him the phone.

Seeing it was a call from Lin Wei, Xu Shaochen signaled Yuxiu to get off his lap before answering.

“Hello, what’s the matter?”

“Mr. Xu, my elder brother wants to meet you.”

Xu Shaochen snorted at this: “He should call me himself.”

“Alright.”

Lin Wei replied with a gloating tone and hung up.

He couldn’t refuse Lin Jin’s request but was pleased with Xu’s response.

“Ring ring ring…”

Minutes later Xu’s phone rang again.

It was an unfamiliar number presumably Lin Jin’s.

“Hello.”

Xu answered.

“Mr. Xu, it’s me, Lin Jin, we met at my brother’s wedding, do you remember?”

Indeed Lin Jin’s respectful voice came through the phone.

Though he held disdain he wasn’t foolish enough to offend Xu.

Being in need he behaved humbly.

“Ah, Lin Da Shao, of course I remember. What can I do for you?”

Xu Shaochen feigned ignorance neither mentioning Lin Wei’s prior call.

“Mr. Xu a friend’s team developed a game engine. Confident in its capability they hope it aids your game ‘Jianghu’. Could we have your consideration?”

Lin Jin’s words were well-chosen making it sound appealing.

Lin Jin didn’t know Cheng Jun promised him three million if things worked out.

Although Cheng Jun claimed the payment whether successful or not.

But since Xu wasn’t so interested he refused: “I appreciate the sentiment but our current engine suffices.”

Tianyu already had the best engine, chip, and AI available.

“Even if business isn’t discussed, a tea gathering is nice. I felt a kinship at the wedding, please for the sake of my father and brother?”

Despite the refusal, Lin Jin persisted his job being to arrange a meeting for Cheng Jun regardless of the result.

For the three million he’d mention his father and brother.

“As you insist, set the time and place. Send it to my phone.”

Surprised by Lin Jin’s persistence Xu couldn’t outright refuse.

Considering the Lin Family’s close ties it would cause rumors of strained relations.

That was unwanted trouble.

“Yes, thank you. I’ll send it soon.”

Lin Jin was relieved, earning three million was easy.
