[CFCS] Chapter 150
Arc 11.5 - Game Developer
Translated by guilty
When Du Jie arrived at the hospital, he saw Wen Zhu, who was crying and had a very terrible complexion, sitting at the bedside and chatting with Xi Guangshan. Du Jie was relieved when he saw that, despite his face being covered in gauze, Xi Guangshan was conscious and he was able to communicate with Wen Zhu.
"Are you all right, Dad?" Du Jie approached the bed and took a seat next to Wen Zhu.
Xi Guangshan shook his head softly and appeared weak. However, he only injured his face; his body had nothing to do with it. He yelled in anguish and lost all of his strength, which is why he became so weak.
Wen Zhu's tears continued to fall, and she sobbed into Du Jie's arm.
"That beast Xi Le isn't even human. He is capable of causing such harm to his father. He has no conscience."
"Didn't they say Dad fell on his own?" Du Jie blurted out the facts he'd just learned, but he quickly regretted it. If Wen Zhu had already told Xi Guangshan, there was no need for him to do so.
"He assaulted Xi Rui. Then his father went to teach him, but he still dared to avoid and inflict such pain on his father...." Wen Zhu sobbed while holding tissue, expressing her sadness.
Du Jie agreed right away "Xi Le is truly inhuman. Dad had been severely injured. It is only reasonable for a parent to beat his son; he not only dodge but also injured his father; he was so unfilial. If he did something like that, he would undoubtedly face retribution in the future."
Wen Zhu brushed his tears away and turned to Xi Guangshan, saying, "He will undoubtedly be punished by God. But, husband, you cannot let him go; he must be punished; else, he will become truly lawless, and who will be able to manage him in the future?"
"Don't worry, when I get out of the hospital, I'll definitely go back and educate that little bastard mercilessly!" Xi Guangshan replied, nodding slightly and patting Wen Zhu's hand.
"By the way, Dad and Mum, I have something to tell you." said Du Jie. "At today's meeting, Xi Le abruptly announced his resignation. He also said that he would no longer be involved in the company's management or any activity in the future, and that he would transfer all his shares."
Xi Guangshan and Wen Zhu were both taken aback and exclaimed, "Really?"
"Really. He personally declared it in front of all shareholders at the meeting," Du Jie nodded and said. "And there are already shareholders discussing the transfer with him."
With astonish look on their faces, Xi Guangshan and Wen Zhu exchanged glances. They were caught off guard by this. It’s like they want to catch a bird to cook and eat, but one day, the bird that had been flying across the sky dropped into the pot by itself. It not only caught them off guard, but they also couldn't react quickly enough.
"Xi Le wants to inherit his grandfather's wealth. There's no reason for him to do this so suddenly, maybe he has some kind of conspiracy?"" Du Jie spoke his mind.
Xi Guangshan pondered for a moment before responding, "Even if he truly wishes to transfer his shares, he must do so to Zheng Yongren. This might make things considerably worse for us. Zheng Yongren, that old fox, is a formidable foe."
Xi Guangshan believed he could still repress Xi Le by using his father's identity. However, when Zheng Yongren obtains Xi Le's shares, he’ll be in serious trouble.
"On the way here, I contacted other shareholders. They said Xi Le did not say he would transfer the shares to Zheng Yongren," Du Jie explained, "but that he needed a huge amount of funds and would transfer the shares to whoever paid the greatest price."
Xi Guangshan rolled his eyes, and he felt he'd figured out what Jing Yang was thinking. "I'm sure that nasty kid thought that without his grandfather, he no longer wanted to stay in the company and fight with us. He wanted to leave the house and begin working on his own. So, he was eager to transfer the shares in his hands, and he wrongly beat Xi Rui and injured me.”
"So... what are we going to do?" Du Jie asked as he looked at Xi Guangshan.
"We need to figure out a method to let our people buy his share instead. Since his dumb decision has been made, we shall fulfill it," Xi Guangshan scoffed. “It is easier for us to repress him if he is in a small company that is just getting started. It's also time to educate him about human sorrow; otherwise, that jerk will never learn how to respect the elder and love the young."
After some consideration, Du Jie concluded that what Xi Guangshan said was logical. It would be easy for them to handle Xi Le if he had set out to create a company from scratch. He now had a chance to avenge himself for Xi Le's arrogance and contempt towards him. Xi Le was nothing once he quit the company. It will be his turn to loathe him and flaunt himself in front of Xi Le when the time comes.
Wen Zhu sat silently listening to Xi Guangshan and Du Jie's conversation. Despite her lack of expression, she couldn't help but be excited. She has experienced years of criticism and disgrace because she has led a shameful life. Her greatest desire is to humiliate Xi Le and his mother by stepping on them. Even after Xi Le's mother died, the Xi family refused to accept her and her child.
Wen Zhu believed that now all the damn people had died and just one Xi Le remained, and he had taken the initiative to leave the company, her moment for revenge and vent had finally arrived. She intended to exact revenge on Xi Le for the agony and humiliation she had suffered at the hands of those who had died; otherwise, she would find it difficult to overcome her anger. She began planning how she could humiliate and punish Xi Le so that he would no longer wish to live.

After those shareholders who supported Xi Guangshan purchased the shares, Jing Yang quickly transferred them at a very high price, officially breaking away from Xi Sheng Games Company.
For a while, the people who acquired the shares were exceedingly pleased, and Xi Guangshan even held two banquets to commemorate this. With the help of Xi Guangshan and the others, Xi Rui was able to take over as president.
When Xi Rui returned to work after being released from the hospital, he seemed excited and triumphant every day. His recent favorite pastime was to stand in front of the president's office glass wall and observe the traffic flow in the size of a bug on the road. It's incredibly satisfying to feel as if you've stepped on the entire world.
Even in his dreams, Xi Rui wanted this position, but that idiot Xi Le just simply let it go. He will regret it sooner or later, but even if he did, it was too late.
Apart from Xi Guangshan, Xi Rui, and Wen Zhu, Du Jie was the happiest person after Jing Yang left the company. He also studied computer programming and joined the company after graduation to design games, but Xi Le never recognized his abilities, and his ideas were often rejected.
If Xi Guangshan had not been the chairman, Du Jie believed Xi Le would have fired him. Now that Xi Le has decided to quit the company, he sees Xi Le as losing and escaping, and he will be even more wretched in the future.
Jing Yang's movements were closely watched by Xi Guangshan and Wen Zhu, as well as Xi Rui and Du Jie. They were all convinced that Jing Yang would establish his own company and start anew, and that if he did, they would attack him immediately.
After a few days of rest, Jing Yang looked for his previous rival company to apply for, He Lang's company.
The fact that Jing Yang became president and improperly quit the previous company is not news to anyone in the industry. Few people are interested in what Jing Yang will do next. If new information is released, they will pay attention to it.
However, Jing Yang's next move shocked, surprised, and puzzled them.
After taking a few days off, Jing Yang publicly said that he was looking for work. Everyone's glasses were nearly shattered because of this. After transferring all of his shares, none of them expected Jing Yang to work for someone else. He is now a wealthy individual who can start a business on his own thanks to his abilities.
A person who had been the president for several years and should have been the owner of his own company abruptly stopped, stating that he wanted to quit and just go, and that the reason for this was not for bigger ideas and goals, but simply to work for others? People who have followed this story closely are baffled as to why Jing Yang did this.
Jing Yang was unconcerned about what others think. His message was not for everyone, but for a certain person to see. He's like Jiang Taigong[1], looking at the fish he's going to catch and calculating how long it will take to take the bait.
He Lang had been following Jing Yang's news, and he knew immediately when Jing Yang published the post. As a result, the time for Jing Yang's bait to catch the fish is significantly shorter than he expected.
When Jing Yang opened his door, He Lang was standing outside. He was shocked for a few moments before turning sideways to let him in. This person's moves are too fast, right? Jing Yang thought to himself. He only issued the post around noon, and this person arrived in the afternoon. Furthermore, he discovered his residence without contacting him, leading Jing Yang to question whether he was keeping an eye on him.
"Mr. He came to meet me personally, is it because of the message I posted on the Internet?" Jing Yang sat down and poured a glass of water for He Lang.
"Actually, you just published that message when I was about to find you." He Lang said plainly. He has been paying attention to the information about Jing Yang and had the idea of cooperating with Jing Yang after learning that Jing Yang had entirely severed his ties with Xi Sheng Company.
"Oh? Is Mr. He here to hire me?" Jing Yang asked.
He Lang looked at Jing Yang and asked, "Which do you prefer, hire or cooperate?"
Jing Yang smiled, even if this person has no memories of previous lives, he instinctively recognizes him. "Of course, I only welcome cooperation, so is Mr. He willing to work with me in good faith? Or do you simply want to hire me as a subordinate?"
"Since I've come to you, I've come with the utmost sincerity. You are free to discuss your request." said He Lang.
"My request is simple." Jing Yang became serious, "I want complete control over all decisions. Give me a team, and I'll make the best game possible. You're in charge of marketing the game once it's finished. I don't care how you do it. There is only one goal in mind; help me destroy Xi Sheng ."
"These appear to be a little too simple; do you have any other requirements?" He Lang assumed that Jing Yang would have more demanding requirements, such as a company that he could run on his own. He Lang was well aware that Xi Sheng had relied on Xi Le to get to where it was. After he left, Xi Guangshan and Xi Rui won't be able to survive the climate. It was simply too easy for He Lang to deal with them.
"...no more." Jing Yang does not have any more requirements. He does not want to build a company on his own, nor does he want to manage one. He's grown accustomed to living a carefree life.
"When will you be able to start working?"
"I can do it whenever."
"Then the contract will be signed tomorrow. After all of the issues have been addressed, you can choose when you want to start."
"No problem."
"I hope we can cooperate pleasantly," He Lang stated as he rose up and reached his hand out to Jing Yang.
Jing Yang shook his hand and was about to send him out.
"It's almost dinnertime, and I'd like to invite you to dinner to celebrate our upcoming cooperation." He Lang said.
"I'm sorry, but I don't want to go out today, and I've already bought and prepared to cook." Jing Yang didn't mean to turn him down; he just didn't want to go out now. He used to do anything he pleased, especially in front of this person. He makes no excuses for not doing anything he doesn't want to do.
“Then can I stay and taste your craftsmanship?" When He Lang learned that Jing Yang wanted to cook, he became even more determined to eat with him.
"..." Jing Yang stood there speechless, this man still acted so familiar with him as always. He said deliberately, "Yes, if you dare to eat the dishes I make, I don't mind if you stay."
T/N : [1] Jiang Taigong a.k.a Jiang Ziya was a Chinese noble who helped kings Wen and Wu of Zhou overthrow the Shang in ancient China. After King Wen died, his son King Wu, who inherited the throne, decided to send troops to overthrow the King of Shang. But Jiang Taigong stopped him, saying: "While I was fishing at Panxi, I realised one truth – if you want to succeed you need to be patient. We must wait for the appropriate opportunity to eliminate the King of Shang". Soon it was reported that the people of Shang were so oppressed that no one dared speak. King Wu and Jiang Taigong decided this was the time to attack, for the people had lost faith in the ruler. (source: Wikipedia)
