The butler immediately showed a look of disdain. When had he ever said that?
It was clearly Qi Xuan who had searched online for a long time about what gift to give on Qixi Festival, and then carefully picked and chose, afraid that giving too intimate a gift would cause trouble for Ye Zhi. He picked for a long time, and finally decided to give makeup, which was safe and inoffensive.
"So much?" Ye Zhi said in surprise, looking at the huge gift box.
"Ahem, the butler picked it all," Qi Xuan said a little uncomfortably.
The butler rolled his eyes. Fine, fine, he was just a busybody.
"Then thank you, and please thank Uncle Butler for me too." Ye Zhi smiled faintly, took the huge gift box, and held it in her arms.
"You..." Qi Xuan asked nervously, "Will you like this gift?"
"Of course!" Ye Zhi looked at the box curiously and said casually, "If someone gives me a gift, why would I pick and choose? As long as it's valuable, I like it!"
Valuable...
Qi Xuan's lips twitched. As expected of you.
"Then I'm going back!" Ye Zhi said with a smile.
Seeing her about to leave, Qi Xuan suddenly remembered something and called out to her, "Wait."
"What's wrong?" Ye Zhi asked, confused.
"You wouldn't..." Qi Xuan said helplessly, "give it away to someone else as soon as you receive it, would you?"
"What are you talking about!" Ye Zhi looked at him with a baffled expression. "It's very impolite to give away a gift from someone else! How could someone with such high emotional intelligence like me do such a thing?"
Qi Xuan: ...
How could she have the nerve to say she had high emotional intelligence?
Ye Zhi continued, "Besides, even if I thought it was really good after using it and wanted to give it to someone, I would buy another one myself with my own money. It's not like I'm broke!"
Qi Xuan: ...
Although what she said made sense, why did he feel like he had become a cosmetics salesman? How did things get to this point?
He wanted to be alone.
Don't ask him who "alone" is.
Ye Zhi held the gift box and happily went home.
Qi Xuan gave a wry smile. When he turned around, he saw the butler and the others scattering with disdainful glances.
Well... at least she accepted the gift.
Qi Xuan comforted himself.
Ye Zhi carried the gift box back to her bedroom.
She curiously opened the gift box and was immediately surprised.
She thought a set would just be a toner and lotion set, but she didn't expect it to have everything from cleansing to skincare, makeup, and maintenance!
Ye Zhi couldn't help but sigh. Uncle Butler really understood her and was so thoughtful!
She picked up a face mask, walked into the bathroom, and prepared to wash her face and apply it to see the effect.
Although she was naturally beautiful and still young, her face was full of collagen, she was willing to try it since it was a gift. If the effect was good, she might as well buy a batch and give it to employees as company benefits!
The next day, not long after Ye Zhi entered the office, Feng Jie came to see her.
"President Ye, the game has entered the testing phase and will be officially launched next week. Do you think we should do some promotional warm-up in advance?" Feng Jie asked.
"So soon?" Ye Zhi was very surprised.
"The map company's programs are very complete, and there isn't much work for us to do. Most of the time, we're actually waiting for the illustrators. The first batch of high-quality cards is almost done, and the game should be launched soon," Feng Jie explained.
"How about this," Ye Zhi thought for a moment, "let's have a game launch event. Since Qianbai saved us a lot of promotion fees, let's allocate some of it to the game."
Feng Jie's eyes widened in surprise. They were just launching a small game, was it necessary to have such a grand event as a press conference?
Also, if Qianbai heard this, wouldn't they be so angry that they'd call several more meetings?
Ye Zhi considered, "Let's start promoting it on major websites now. On the day of the press conference, invite a few media outlets and find the currently popular ZZ Live to hold an online stream to introduce the game situation..."
Feng Jie came back to his senses and saw that Ye Zhi was serious. He followed Ye Zhi's train of thought and suddenly thought of something, directly suggesting, "President Ye, why don't you host this press conference?"
"Me?" Ye Zhi was a little surprised.
"Yes! A young and beautiful female CEO who founded instant messaging, online shopping, logistics, and game companies. As long as you stand on stage, you'll be a hot topic! At that time, you will surely become a national goddess and gain the admiration of many people!" Feng Jie said excitedly.
"No," Ye Zhi said firmly.
"Why?" Feng Jie was a little taken aback.
"If I really go, the topic will be taken away by me, and people's attention will be on me, not on our game. Moreover," Ye Zhi raised her eyebrows slightly, "what's so great about capitalists? I didn't make the game, I just control the means of production."
Feng Jie: ...
As expected of you, President Ye, you don't hesitate to criticize yourself.
However, he also really admired Ye Zhi. Faced with such temptation, most people couldn't refuse, but Ye Zhi didn't care at all.
You know, when he was at Qianbai before, Ou Minghan would definitely attend similar events! He would even privately contact the media and buy various promotional articles praising himself.
As a result, over the years, Ou Minghan had won titles such as "National Male God," "National Husband," "Business Genius," and "Man Most Wanted to Marry." He didn't have much ability but had considerable popularity. He bought promotional articles while maintaining a low-key persona, to the extent that everyone knew he was very low-key.
Feng Jie came back to his senses and asked, "Then what do you mean...?"
"Let the lead programmer and the lead artist go," Ye Zhi thought for a moment, "The game is their responsibility, and they should know more than others."
"Ah, this..." Feng Jie was a little embarrassed. "President Ye, the lead artist is fine, but the lead programmer... that girl is a bit of a shut-in and suffers from social anxiety, so she probably can't handle this kind of occasion."
"Then let her train well," Ye Zhi said in a deep voice. "Instead of people admiring me, a capitalist, it's better to admire those who are truly doing practical work. Besides, she just needs to be her true self in front of the camera. Perhaps this will make people feel more familiar."
"Alright..." Feng Jie agreed. "By the way, President Ye, I heard that Qianbai is also preparing to go it alone."
Ye Zhi was a little speechless. Feng Jie was truly becoming more and more adept at being a double agent!
"Let them do it, they won't do a good job," Ye Zhi said lightly.
"Why?" Feng Jie asked subconsciously.
"Because Qianbai and Feitong are not of one mind," Ye Zhi smiled slightly. "Even if different departments of the same company cooperate, if coordination is poor, there will be all sorts of friction. Moreover, they are originally two companies, and now they have conflicting interests in vying for investment. It's strange if they don't cause trouble!"
