Chapter 923: A Stir of Great Proportions

“I… damn!”

Looking at Xu Shaochen surrounded by a group of women, everyone felt like shouting ‘damn’ in their hearts.

Just by looking at Liu Ruxue and Liu Ruxu, you could tell they were definitely sisters.

Now, both with bulging bellies, it seemed obvious this guy was responsible.

For a moment, everyone had mixed emotions. The difference between people was just too great.

We were still wondering how to stop being the backup and successfully pursue our goddess.

Meanwhile, he was already fretting over which goddess to sleep with tonight.

“Isn’t this too wild?”

Not far away, Mei Liangxin stood with Liu Ying, watching. With a flushed face, Liu Ying commented.

They had come to pick up Xu Shaochen, but given the situation, there was no point in approaching.

“Not just wild. It’s downright enviable… oops, I mean outrageous.”

Mei Liangxin lit a cigarette and took a melancholic puff. Ever since marrying Liu Ying, the once-frequent brothel patron had been forced into a life of abstinence.

Because Liu Ying was pregnant, the first three months were the most dangerous. He didn’t dare sleep with her or sneak around.

He could only hide in the bathroom, reviving the old handcraft he had abandoned for years. His hand was developing calluses.

He had to say, ancestral skills should never be forgotten.

Now, looking at Xu Shaochen, his heart was filled with sour envy, even more intense than eating a lemon.

Bastard. Scum. Jerk. Damn, I wish I were him.

“Slap!”

Just as he lit the cigarette, Liu Ying slapped it out of his hand and glared at him. “Can’t you see I’m carrying your family’s child? You know I can’t smell smoke, right?”

“I… I was just caught up in the moment. So many emotions!” Mei Liangxin stuttered. Before marriage, he was the boss. After marriage, he was the son. Ever since the pregnancy, he’d instantly become the grandson.

This was his current situation. He regretted it immensely now. If only he’d stayed single a few more years. How nice that would’ve been.

Liu Ying pursed her lips. “What emotions? In what way do you compare to Xu Shaochen?”

Mei Liangxin: “…”

You’re right. You’re always right.

Xu Shaochen introduced a few people: Jenny, Tang Silin, and Li Qianya.

Don’t let Tang Silin’s attitude toward him fool you. At this moment, she seemed rather shy, like a new bride.

After brief introductions, Xu Shaochen walked toward the car parked by the roadside, surrounded by women.

“Over there!”

Suddenly, a shout rang out, followed by a swarm of reporters rushing over with their equipment.

Long Yi and the others quickly surrounded Xu Shaochen with bodyguards to prevent the reporters from getting too close.

“Mr. Xu, can I ask about the cooperation with Mexico’s government? Was it really to help them as you claimed?”

“Mr. Xu, who are these women with you? Are they all your women?”

“Mr. Xu, I see two ladies are pregnant. Is this your first child?”

These reporters always had their ways. How they figured out Xu Shaochen was returning today was beyond anyone.

Liu Ruxue and the others didn’t look too happy. After all, once this got reported, Xu Shaochen would certainly gain a playboy reputation.

As for themselves, they didn’t mind. They were already destined to be the women behind Xu Shaochen.

“There’s some things I don’t want to discuss. I hope you don’t speculate, but I can tell you this: I plan to enter the gaming industry soon.”

Xu Shaochen spoke calmly. He didn’t want his women to be dragged into public scrutiny, affecting their lives.

Even if they snapped some pictures, it wasn’t a big deal. He trusted that their editors knew better than to release them.

After all, angering Xu Shaochen never led to anything good.

“Entering the gaming industry? Mr. Xu, as far as I know, the Xu Corporation has never been involved in gaming.”

“Mr. Xu, why the sudden interest in the gaming industry?”

“The domestic gaming sector is dominated by two giants, Penguin and the Pig Farm. Are you planning to compete with them?”

Upon hearing Xu Shaochen’s statement, the reporters knew they wouldn’t get to report on his private life. But they quickly latched onto this new topic.

Xu Shaochen entering the gaming industry? Now that was news.

Xu Shaochen smiled faintly and said, “Compete? No, no. The Xu Corporation will only make one game, a game that will define an era.”

The message was clear: Penguin and Pig Farm weren’t even worthy rivals.

“Whoa!”

The reporters were ecstatic upon hearing this bold declaration, as if they had been injected with adrenaline. Their patience had paid off.

“Mr. Xu, could you share more details about the game? I’m sure many gamers are just as curious as we are.”

“Yes, Mr. Xu, could you tell us more?”

Xu Shaochen said, “It’s a VR game with immense autonomy. The engine powering it is our self-developed ‘Little Sea’ engine. I guarantee it won’t disappoint players.”

“That’s all for now. I just got off the plane. Please give me some rest.”

With that, Xu Shaochen turned and left with his people. Not one reporter dared to chase after him for more questions.

After all, Xu Shaochen wasn’t some celebrity. Offending him could mean saying goodbye to your career as a reporter.

But those few words he uttered caused a huge stir online, even prompting emergency meetings at Penguin and Pig Farm as they prepared for Xu Corporation’s arrival.

Online, all the major forums were flooded with clips of the short interview.

“666, I’ve been waiting for Xu Corporation to get into gaming for ages. With their resources, it’s going to be amazing!”

“You must be crazy. He said VR games. Isn’t VR still immature? He’s probably just fooling around because he has the money.”

“Exactly. I’m not optimistic. China won’t make a good game. I’ll stick to playing foreign titles.”

“If he’s confident enough to say that, he must have a plan. Xu Corporation doesn’t need cheap hype. I’m excited!”

“Mark my words, if Xu Corporation can make a real VR game, I’ll eat shit live on camera.”

“I’ve already taken a screenshot! Don’t back out later!”

Opinions online were divided. Some supported and anticipated it, while others mocked and ridiculed.

Xu Shaochen didn’t respond to any of it. Instead of arguing online, he preferred to let the facts do the talking.
