Chapter 56: Neither Hard Nor Soft Works

  (Suddenly found out it's just one step away from being on top, that... everyone's recommendation is pouring in, I'm going to rush up...)

  What surprised Liu Yifei was that there was still someone in the hotel, a man in his 40s with disheveled hair and a beard that seemed to have not been shaved for several days, wearing a pair of tattered jeans with holes, giving off a hippie vibe.

  "Liu brothers, this is Wang Tian, the planning director of our Dayu company. Wang Tian, this is Liu Yifei." Zheng Zhihou made the introduction as soon as he entered.

  Liu Yifei had originally wanted to go over and shake hands with him as a courtesy, but Wang Tianze merely glanced at Liu Yifei and disdainfully said: "So it's just a naive kid who probably saw our poster and came here on purpose to mock us. You still insist on running over here to take a look, how boring."

  This man was so rude that Liu Yifei couldn't even go up to greet him, but what shocked Liu Yifei the most was Wang Tian's words. The Xianjian poster had already been released, which meant he was too late, and writing this letter to them was a bit self-inflicted humiliation.

  Just thinking of finding an excuse to escape, so as not to be ridiculed by the other party, but another thought immediately occurred to me in my heart. Since they have already released the poster, the game should be on the market soon, why did it really go on sale only in 1995? What did they do during this year?

  With a faint smile, Liu Yifei said: "Since you think so, I have nothing to say. Mr. Zheng, Mr. Wang, I still need to go back to class, won't bother you anymore." After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked out without hesitation.

  But Liu Yifei's heart was not as steady as his walk, and he had already been jumping wildly in his heart. This was the first time he had found an opportunity to make money after rebirth, which was quite important for him. Although there would be many more opportunities in the future, failing the first time would still be a blow to him. So he still hoped that this time would be successful enough, even if it wouldn't bring as good returns as expected.

  "Liu brothers, wait a minute, Manager Wang is just like that, don't take offense at the wrong place." Just as Liu Yifei had taken two steps, Zheng Zhicheng called out to stop him.

  Liu Yifei stopped in his tracks, but didn't turn around and said: "Although you are Taiwanese, you are also descendants of the Huaxia nation, we are all Chinese. I welcome you coming here to find me, but if you come here to look down on me, a high school student, with your temporary economic power in Taiwan, then I won't entertain you."

  "It's not that kind of thing... Wang Tian always speaks like this, even to me, his superior, he also talks to me in the same way. Sit down, sit down, let's not make everyone unhappy before we've even discussed the main issue." Zheng Zhi Chen pulled Liu Yi Fei over and pushed him onto the sofa, making him sit down.

  "You're quite a character!" Wang Tian said with a smile, pulling up a chair and sitting down in front of Liu Yifei. He pulled out a cigarette and asked, "Want one?"

  Liu Yifei's face was as calm as water, and he said, "Sorry, I don't smoke." He knew very well that sometimes getting angry would make the other party respect him, otherwise these two people would definitely look down on him in terms of age. At this time, Liu Yifei couldn't let them look down on him first.

  Wang Tian didn't think much of it at the time, lit a cigarette himself, blew out a smoke ring, and suddenly glared at Liu Yifei, saying: "How did you know about the plot of our Xian Xia Qi Xia Chuan?"

  "What's the plot of Xian Xia Qi Xia Chuan?" Liu Yifei raised an eyebrow, knowing that Wang Tian was trying to take control of the conversation. He leaned back into the sofa and said, "Please mind your words, Mr. Wang. I know you're working on a game called Xian Jian Qi Xia Chuan, so I took some time to write out a plot and sent it over to see if it could be of any help to you. Could it be that what I wrote is actually the plot you've already designed?"

  Wang Tian raised an eyebrow and said, "You wrote this casually? Write something else for me to see."

  Liu Yifei stood up straight, looking directly at Wang Tian's gaze without giving an inch, and said: "Mr. Wang, I've already reminded you once, I don't want to remind you a second time. If you can't learn to respect others, others can't respect you either. I won't have a conversation with someone who can't communicate normally with me."

  Wang Tian didn't get annoyed, instead he seemed to be even more interested and took another look at Liu Yifei, saying: "You're not very old, but you're quite interesting. Alright, I'll have a good talk with you. I want to know how much you know about our Dayu Company."

  Liu Yifei smiled slightly and said: "I don't know much about your company, Da Yu, I only know that you are a company specializing in game development."

  It's possible that Liu Yifei didn't want to answer because of the conversation with Wang Tian, so Zheng Zhi Chen interrupted and said: "If you don't understand our company, how can you know about the game we're developing? Even the main character and scene are exactly the same. Don't tell me you saw it from a poster, there's no specific game content on our poster, please ask Brother Liu to explain."

  Liu Yifei's heart secretly sweated, at the time he only thought about how to attract the attention of Dayu Company, and didn't think too much, so he directly used the name of the character in the game. Now it's not easy to explain, mainly because he had never considered before that Dayu Company would send someone over, making him somewhat unprepared.

  Although the two came suddenly, making Liu Yifei a bit hasty, after all, he had been struggling in the workplace for more than ten years. At this time, Liu Yifei smiled faintly and said: "I'm afraid I can't tell you about this." A typical workplace Tai Chi response.

  Wang Tian's face turned stern as he said, "Do you know that our game has already been registered for intellectual property rights? If you plagiarize our plot, we will take you to court. At that time, it won't just be a matter of paying compensation; you might even have to go to jail."

  "Oh, really? Then go ahead and do as you please. I don't believe my own story can infringe on your rights. How about this... why don't I leave first, and after you sue me, we'll meet in court?" Liu Yifei's mouth was full of mocking smiles.

  Wang Tian's cigarette butt shook in his hand, and the ash fell onto his arm. He suddenly swung his arm, and his appearance was somewhat disheveled.

  Zheng Zhi Chen felt a bit depressed at this time. When he saw Liu Yi Fei earlier, he was first surprised and then secretly delighted. A high school student like him must have insufficient social experience, and it would only take a few words to get to the bottom of Liu Yi Fei's story. But with both soft and hard tactics from him and Wang Tian, Liu Yi Fei surprisingly didn't fall for either approach. He couldn't understand why this mainland high school student was so difficult to talk to.
