Snatching Women from the Male Lead

Chapter 20

Pei Fanzhi calmed down from the shock of being caught. Shen Yixuan's fierce image gradually turned into an angry goose in her mind.

Considering Shen Yixuan's extraordinary beauty, she kindly decided to replace the image of Shen Yixuan in her mind with that of an angry puffed up cat.

She faced Shen Yixuan's rather intimidating gaze and told the whole story: "That time, you took me to a bar to drink. After getting drunk, I sent you home.

Later, in a daze, you took out a stack of letter paper from your room and started reading it to me!"

Qin Zhao tried hard not to laugh while closely observing Shen Yixuan's reaction. Shen Yixuan's face showed a wonderful kaleidoscope of expressions that could be called a realistic version of the face changing in Peking opera!

Pei Fanzhi, the stubborn one, was completely insensitive to her boss's feelings. She continued unhurriedly, "You even asked me if there were any grammatical errors and discussed with me..."

Shen Yixuan angrily covered Pei Fanzhi's mouth: "If you say one more word, I'll fire you!"

She looked at her with laughing eyes and her stubborn mouth still mumbled from behind her hand, "Discussed with me whether the sentences would be cliché..."

Shen Yixuan closed her eyes for a moment, suppressed her emotions, and gritted her teeth: "As long as you don't mention this in the future, I'll give you a raise, okay?!"

Pei Fanzhi pushed Shen Yixuan's hand away, smiled and said, "That makes more sense! If you fire me, who will take you home when you get drunk in the future?"

Qin Zhao looked at the interaction between the two and felt that there was some harmony!

She suddenly interrupted, "Can you two stop flirting? People who don't know will think you are in love."

Shen Yixuan and Pei Fanzhi turned their heads and glared at Qin Zhao in unison.

"Nonsense!"

"Isn't Boss Shen your girlfriend?"

Shen Yixuan looked at Pei Fanzhi incredulously, "Which eye of yours saw me with her together?"

Pei Fanzhi's eyes shifted between Shen Yixuan and Qin Zhao. She quickly realized that she had misunderstood them.

She hesitated, "Then..."

She suddenly remembered a photo she saw on a colleague's phone. It showed Miss Nan kissing another woman.

The face was not visible but it looked a bit familiar. Looking at Qin Zhao now, she finally realized!

"Qin Zhao, so you are dating Miss Nan!" Pei Fanzhi suddenly understood.

Qin Zhao nodded slightly, "You just found out? Otherwise why would Nan Yue bring lunch boxes to see me."

Pei Fanzhi felt it would be cruel to Shen Yixuan to discuss Nan Yue and Qin Zhao's relationship in front of her, so she looked at Shen Yixuan worriedly.

This look was sensitively noticed by Shen Yixuan. Shen Yixuan smiled, "Don't worry, I'm over it now.

On the contrary, I should thank Qin Zhao. Now that you are taking care of Nan Yue, I don't have to fantasize about being with her anymore.

I can spend the time I used to daydream on games instead. How nice is that."

From Shen Yixuan's slightly lowered eyes, Qin Zhao captured a fleeting glimpse of sadness and was somewhat moved.

Out of respect for Shen Yixuan, Qin Zhao chose to remain silent.

It seemed Shen Yixuan did not want others to see her vulnerable side either.

After speaking, Shen Yixuan returned to her office.

Pei Fanzhi then briefed Qin Zhao on the details of the gaming exhibition.

"Remember to dress up nicely for the exhibition. After this, you will make a name for yourself in the industry." Pei Fanzhi patted Qin Zhao on the shoulder.

Qin Zhao didn't care: "I look good in anything."

Pei Fanzhi couldn't stand her smug look but couldn't refute it either. "Yes, yes, you are the prettiest."

She reminded, "Your photo with Nan Yue has spread among colleagues.

You are considered openly out now."

"There's nothing wrong with that. Best if the whole world knows I have a beautiful and rich girlfriend."

"Just keep boasting!"

Pei Fanzhi also said, "Your ex Ye Chenxi will also come. No problem, right?"

Qin Zhao nodded, "Of course, he is just two words more than a stranger to me now."

Pei Fanzhi played along, "Which two words?"

"Underworld stranger."

...

Anyang Yao's gaming exhibition was held on Friday, October 21.

The venue was already full at eleven in the morning.

Before the exhibition officially started, as the host, Shen Yixuan needed to briefly introduce the overall content of the exhibition first.

Ye Chenxi came alone and sat in the front row of the auditorium, casually chatting with the person in charge of another gaming company next to him.

"Chairman Ye, Quest's 'Wasteland' and this exhibition's 'Inferno' are similar games, right? I heard the data is quite good, congratulations!"

The fat on Wang Fatty's face shook as he talked, and the stench from his mouth floated over, making Ye Chenxi a little nauseous.

Considering Quest Game still had cooperation with Wang Fatty's company, he could only endure the discomfort without showing it at all, and smiled, "Yeah, it's quite good."

"But still inferior to Inferno."

Ye Chenxi's smile froze slightly, "Yes, that's why I came here to learn. But it probably can't be learned. After all, pandering to sexual minorities is not something an average person can do."

Wang Fatty's own company had also developed a similar game, but it had flopped so badly that even its father didn't recognize it. So he was a little jealous of Quest.

Talking to Ye Chenxi about this now was just to take advantage of Anyang Yao's momentum to embarrass Ye Chenxi.

Hearing him say this, Wang Fatty sneered inwardly. As if he didn't want to profit from the sexual minority market if he could!

On the surface, however, he said, "Chairman Ye is right. How big can that niche market of sexual minorities be? Us who make mainstream games, even a tiny fraction of the mainstream market yields more profit than them!"

If Ye Chenxi couldn't hear the overt praise and covert mockery in these words, he might as well quit the industry.

He made a mental note about Wang Fatty!

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Anyang Yao Game Company's exhibition. Next, please welcome Ms. Shen for a few words."

Applause sounded in the auditorium.

Shen Yixuan walked to the podium amidst the cheers.

The audience below marveled at Shen Yixuan's beauty and discussed enthusiastically.

After she started speaking, it gradually quieted down.

She first briefly introduced the original paintings, character designs, worldview maps, and game codes that would be exhibited this time.

Then it was time for the section she had added at the last minute to introduce the core creative team.

After the original art team, design team, and scriptwriting team appeared on stage one by one and left...

Shen Yixuan said, "For a game to succeed, it is usually the result of the joint efforts of all departments.

Inferno is no exception, but I would like to specially thank one person.

When Inferno hit a bottleneck, I met her. It was the characters she created that brought Inferno to a new peak.

Laying the foundation for Inferno's leading position in the industry this year.

I'm sure everyone is also curious who she is. Next, I will introduce her to you all. Please welcome..."

As Shen Yixuan's voice fell, Qin Zhao's figure appeared. Ye Chenxi's eyes instantly widened!

How could it be her?!

Ye Chenxi had thought that Qin Zhao had already returned home because she couldn't find a job. Seeing her now, he was both shocked and angry!

His phone suddenly rang with a text message alert. Ye Chenxi opened the text reflexively.

He saw the photo his assistant had sent, of the woman walking hand in hand with Nan Yue, laughing radiantly.

It was Qin Zhao!

Ye Chenxi looked sharply at the stage, the resentment in his heart becoming unprecedentedly strong!
