Chapter 44: Family Members, who understands this?! [Please continue reading!]
The next morning, Ji Feng woke up from a hazy sleep. The moment he came to his senses, endless regret overwhelmed him, and warm tears silently streamed down his cheeks.
He raised his hand and slapped himself hard across the face repeatedly, filled with regret and lingering fear.
How could I not have been able to control myself!
How did I end up having a conflict of interest with them?
If this damn thing explodes, I'll be doomed.
It's worth noting that while his self-developed Tactical Squad may not have achieved the legendary status of Overwatch, it was still quite formidable.
Based solely on the game's outstanding performance, as the core R&D leader, he is sure to have a stellar year-end review, a bright future ahead, and a promotion and reward that are already a certainty.
But he became greedy and wanted more.
In fact, if he had kept his temper in check, even if something went wrong, he could have easily attributed it all to a trap or conspiracy deliberately set by the swarm.
At worst, I've misjudged people and fallen into their trap; the worst that can happen is a demotion and a deduction of my bonus.
After all, in the eyes of XunTeng's senior management, Yang Yi was a cunning competitor, and all his schemes were reasonable.
However, Ji Feng failed to control the situation. Once there was a business transaction, he could end up in jail! His reputation would be ruined!
Ji Feng's face was deathly pale and he looked pained in the mirror. Just as he was thinking of a solution, a pair of arms wrapped around him from behind.
It was already the next morning, but the fragrance still lingered behind me.
"Boss, why are you looking in the mirror in the bathroom? Did you have a good time last night?"
Smelling the faint fragrance behind him and feeling the soft touch on his back, Ji Feng's emotions calmed down a little.
With such a huge influx of people at Gamescom, no one noticed anything amiss. Now that the hype is fading and attention is declining, there shouldn't be much risk anymore.
Well, what's done is done, let's do our morning exercise first!
Ji Feng turned around, grabbed the balloon, and shoved Carter onto the bed with a vicious shove.
"This time I'm going to hold the stick like this! This is what I earned with my career, and I deserve it!"
Unfortunately, Ji Feng couldn't hold it with just one hand.

After six or seven days of travel, Yang Yi finally returned to his long-awaited ocean-view penthouse.
Having shed the fatigue of the journey, he leaned back lazily on the soft sofa, letting Shen Xiao take good care of him, quietly enjoying the relaxing time at home.
Now Shen Xiao has moved into Yang Yi's house and is considered his tenant.
In her own words, as a personal secretary, she should be dutiful and responsible, taking care of her boss's daily life and diet 24 hours a day.
His thoughts were crystal clear; the abacus beads were practically falling off Yang Yi's face.
As for Yang Yi's feelings, all Yang Yi could say was—as long as he could touch his feet, that would be enough.
After taking a shower, Shen Xiao placed the sliced chilled watermelon on the snack cart next to the sofa, sat down next to Yang Yi, and skillfully put her feet on his hands.
"What are you looking at so intently?"
Yang Yi subconsciously reached out and grabbed it, rubbing the soles of his feet.
It has a delicate and warm touch, as soft as if it were boneless.
By the time Yang Yi realized what was happening, Shen Xiao's eyes were already filled with tears, her face was flushed, and she exuded a shy charm.
"I...I'm looking at the negative reviews about the exhibition online."
Yang Yi quickly and awkwardly withdrew his hand, coughed lightly, touched the tip of his nose, and hurriedly changed the subject.
Shen Xiao exclaimed in embarrassment and indignation, "Ugh~ You're still smelling it!"
Yang Yi was even more embarrassed when she realized what was happening, but she still subconsciously sniffed the air, and the faint scent of jasmine hit her nostrils.
Upon seeing Yang Yi's actions, the girl's ears instantly turned bright red, her eyebrows and eyes drooped slightly, her long eyelashes trembled, and her gaze darted away, unable to look directly at him.
Looking at the charming Shen Xiao, Yang Yi's Adam's apple bobbed slightly involuntarily as a thought flashed through his mind.
How about tonight?
Forget it, let's just let it heal a bit more!
After taking a bite of the sweet and refreshing watermelon from the snack cart, Yang Yi suppressed the surging desire in her heart and focused her attention on the online public opinion.
Seemingly sensing the man's intention, Shen Xiao slowly sat up straight and quietly and gently continued to feed Yang Yi watermelon.
Shen Xiao now understands that Yang Yi isn't indifferent to her; perhaps he just doesn't want things to progress too quickly? Or maybe he wants to continue cultivating their relationship?
In short, no one is closer to Yang Yi than her at the moment, and Shen Xiao is quite satisfied with that.
The Chinese internet is now flooded with posts mocking Swarm, which shows that XunTeng has put a lot of effort into discrediting Swarm.
[The swarm game really went too far this time. Such beautiful ladies, and they didn't even give them a chance! They've embarrassed themselves internationally! Ladies, let's boycott the swarm game!]
The comments below are even more bizarre and outrageous—
"I'm a man, but this time I really support the blogger. Black Lily is so beautiful, the swarm of bees is completely unmoved! (Photo – Black Lily posing with someone at Gamescom)"
"Indeed, the games they developed don't consider women at all; all they know is shooting."
"The worst part is that they made the female characters' butts so big, it's really perverted!"
"I agree! My boyfriend is obsessed with that big-butt mousepad I bought online. He says it feels better than me. Go ahead and use that mousepad!"
Seeing this, Yang Yi couldn't hold back any longer. The others might have been paid, but this woman seemed to be genuinely interested.
I quickly checked out the next viral post.
[Miss Black Lily is so kind. She not only signed her name but also made a heart shape with her hands. Thank goodness XunTeng saved the day! Fujiko, you finally did something decent. This time, I'm on XunTeng's side. (Image: Carter kissing her cheek)]
The post praising XunTeng has garnered quite a few comments—
How did you know I kissed Widowmaker? (Image: Kissing Carter on the cheek)
"Hey, you're just as despicable as the original poster, bullying me because I can't go!"
"What a stunningly beautiful woman! I want to be her dog!"
XunTeng has truly made the Chinese people proud this time!
"A swarm of garbage bees—the dragon slayer becomes the dragon himself!"
"Don't go to that exhibition again; you've embarrassed yourself internationally."
"Hey you, do you know how popular and amazing Overwatch is? How is that embarrassing? Every player who tried it in Cologne was praising Overwatch."
What's truly shameful is NetEase, okay? What a piece of garbage game they made.
"I don't care how good the game is or how many praises it gets from foreign players. I know that without morals, even the best game is shameful; it's all garbage!"
……
……
This post was even more chaotic, and Shen Xiao next to her was furious.
"Since when expelling a foreigner has become considered immoral?"
"Whether these people have taken money or not, they've all been groveling for too long; they're just spineless cowards."
Seeing Shen Xiao puffing up her cheeks and standing up for him, Yang Yi affectionately pinched her collagen-rich cheeks.
Shen Xiao, however, turned away with a look of disgust.
"Hey! You didn't wash your hands!"
After a period of playful banter, the two continued reading the trending topics below.
[Overwatch is so much fun! Why is it still over twenty days until release? I can't wait! (Image: Exclusive Core Badge)]
"Rich guy! He can spend 1200 as soon as he wants!"
"Rich Bro!" ×999
"It's really not a waste. A limited-edition mousepad costs 500 yuan now, I drank four bottles of Coke that cost 48 yuan each, and ate all sorts of snacks and fruits."
"They've basically eaten up all the money they spent on the game."
"Moreover, Mr. Yang is incredibly generous; the snacks are all high-end pure meat snacks (pictured—dried shrimp, meat strips, Defu...)"
"Worth it!" ×999
"Furthermore, I've also taken a photo with Miss Black Lily. The swarm must have its reasons for not wanting her; let's all be rational! (Photo – with Carter)"
"I don't know if there were any considerations, but there weren't any other Widowmaker cosplayers at the Beehive booth."
"Have you guys seen the foreign websites? There's a secretly filmed video; the woman in it looks a lot like Miss Carter, but it's a pity she's a futa (a type of futa)."
……
……
Alright, that's enough for now. Although I don't know why the leaked video is a pornographic one, Yang Yi has already seen what he wanted to see.
The booby trap is about to explode.
