At the start, I tricked the school beauty, and ended up with twins?

It seems like this is her own fan club!

Looking around, Hu Xiaoya had actually joined nearly a hundred of them!

Watching her share the video in these groups, Gu Yu felt dizzy.

"Ya... it must have been hard for you!"

Lin Xin didn't know what else to say.

It has to be said, Hu Xiaoya's method, although a bit crude, is currently the fastest and most cost-effective way to promote.

"Ha! No worries, just make sure to top up those thousand bucks from Dou Ying for me, and if you really think I'm working hard, give me a raise!"

"You guys know well, I, Hu Xiaoya, am short on cash!"

Hu Xiaoya, without even looking up, said this as her fingers still darted across the screen like phantoms.

What's this about hard work!

As long as there's extra pay, then it's not hard!

She was well aware of how great Ideal Paradise's incentive mechanisms were, with triple pay for overtime!

There was even a processing fee! That is, during extremely busy times, you could even apply to the company for a 20 percent raise in salary!

That's why everyone at Ideal Paradise was working like their lives depended on it.

It was said that Yu Shutong and Kang Jia's development department took only one day off yesterday and were all back at the company for overtime today.

Who wouldn't want a triple salary!

Even though Gu Yu repeatedly emphasized no overtime if not necessary, they were all sneaking in overtime!

The reason was, they had started a new project!

Look at that, could anyone else be more enthusiastic?

The Summoning Divine Dragon just went online today, and the development department was already organizing a new project!

This enthusiasm had also spread to Hu Xiaoya.

She had never found work to be so interesting.

"..."

Gu Yu was speechless.

Even though he advocated against 996, looking at the current situation, he simply couldn't stop the employees from working overtime.

After all, triple pay for overtime was a rigid rule of the system.

Under such temptation, not many could resist.

He felt pity as his reward Check-in Points had drastically decreased once again.

Gu Yu sat in a chair sullenly flipping through his phone. Through the office's floor-to-ceiling glass, he could see everyone in the hall busy with their heads down.

Just from this busy scene, those unaware would think Ideal Paradise was a Fortune 500 enterprise!

Yet, the entire company currently had fewer than ten people!

"By the way, Xinyue, what's the situation with hiring on brother's side?"

Gu Yu looked toward the adjacent reception room. The glass of the reception room was frosted, not see-through, but a vague and dark figure could be seen inside.

His brother Yu Shutong and the current deputy manager of development, Kang Jia, were inside interviewing new employees.

He had said he wouldn't interfere with the recruitment matters of the development department, so only Lin Xinyue, who was in charge of human resources, knew a bit more about this.

"The situation? It's alright, Yu Shutong and his team have already settled on ten new employees, just waiting to send out the offers to these people!"

Lin Xinyue thought for a moment then said.

Every new employee hired had to pass her first.

So, she was somewhat clear on the general situation.

"Ten?" Gu Yu was a bit surprised. His brother really recruited quite a number of new employees at once.

It seems the big project rumors from the development department are indeed true!

He just didn't know what exactly his brother wanted to do this time.

Whether to continue down the path of casual games, or to start trying to break through to major mobile games.

If it's the latter, Gu Yu was actually very excited.

Because he had long known that Ideal Paradise couldn't always be just about casual games.

When it was first established, it made a vow to "Create the best games in Huaxia and even the world."

If it stuck to casual games, that clearly wouldn't work.

To truly achieve their goals, they would have to lean towards mainstream major mobile games.

For example, Five Kills Glory, though the game has many criticisms, within Huaxia, it could be said to be extremely famous.

Tencent in the MOBA game segment, is already leading among all Huaxia gaming companies.

If his brother wanted to aim in this direction, there's a good chance Tencent would strongly suppress them.

In recent years, there haven't been any new MOBA games that haven't appeared, like Rice Glory, Three Thousand Heroes, these games were quite popular when they were first released.

But basically, they couldn't survive more than a few months or a year before they went bankrupt.

Although there were factors related to himself, there was also strong suppression from Tencent involved.

"If I can't beat you, I'll acquire you, and if I can't acquire you, then I'll report you..."

This has always been Tencent's style.

In the future, if Ideal Paradise wants to delve deeper into the gaming field, a showdown with Tencent is inevitable.

...

One afternoon passed.

The Dou Ying boost that Hu Xiaoya invested in also started to take effect.

When Gu Yu woke up from his nap, he found that his video's view count had actually surpassed two hundred thousand!

Dou Ying certainly couldn't bring in so many views in one go; this was the result of initial promotion followed by fans' spontaneous sharing.

Even more outrageous, his follower count also jumped from 1 to 100,000!

Two hundred thousand views, one hundred thousand followers!

A two-to-one view-to-follower ratio!

This was simply terrifying!

Although the fact that the followers who actively came were precise fans, this also indirectly represented how high his follower engagement really was.

Have you ever experienced the sensation of your phone non-stop buzzing as soon as you open Dou Ying notifications?

Gu Yu was now experiencing it!

Follow notifications 99+, shares 99+, comments 99+!

Gu Yu didn't dare to check the comments.

The number of comments displayed on his video had already surpassed ten thousand.

In such a situation, of course, it was better to have someone to share the excitement with~

He pinched Lin Xinyue's face, who was lying asleep on the office desk, and said softly, "Wake up, lazy pig! It's already two o'clock!"

"Mhm~~ Let me sleep a bit more..." Lin Xinyue squinted her eyes open slightly, then rolled over to continue sleeping.

"..."

Gu Yu felt somewhat helpless.

So he moved the phone in front of Lin Xinyue and whispered in her ear, "But our Dou Ying video has gone viral, don't you want to read the comments?"

"Ah! It went viral! Comments!"

Lin Xinyue, who was originally planning to get some more sleep, immediately sat up straight and forcefully turned on her phone upon hearing Gu Yu's words.

"Hahaha, there's a flower on your face!"

Seeing a flower imprint on her right cheek, Gu Yu couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Lin Xinyue blinked, trying to come to her senses, and upon seeing him laughing, she gritted her teeth and said, "It's all your fault!"

Gu Yu: "???"

Gu Yu was completely baffled; how could this be his fault?

He had previously suggested Lin Xinyue sleep in the office chair, but she insisted that lying down was more comfortable.

So how was it his fault that there was an imprint on her face when she woke up?

Seeing Gu Yu's puzzled expression, Lin Xinyue playfully reprimanded, "If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't even know I had an imprint on my face!"

"Wuwuwu, next time I need to change my coat; the embroidery on this coat made my face hurt!"

She pouted and took off her coat, then pulled out a small mirror from her drawer and tenderly touched the red mark on her face.

Seeing her display this childlike behavior just after waking up, Gu Yu thought it was quite cute.

"Alright, the mark will fade soon. Didn't you tell me to check the online comments with you?"

"Yeah, now we've got ten thousand comments~ Look at them!"

Gu Yu stood up, straightened her messy hair, and smilingly placed the phone on the desk in front of her.

"Wow! Ten thousand!"

Lin Xinyue exclaimed in surprise, quickly grabbing the phone; Gu Yu had indeed not lied to her!

There really were ten thousand comments; she initially thought there would be at most a few hundred.

The result was beyond her imagination!

She extended her finger to click on the comments but suddenly paused just a centimeter away, turning her head and looking at Gu Yu with a conflicted expression:

"These ten thousand comments aren't all criticizing us for advertising, are they?"

Gu Yu combed her hair and repositioned himself on the stool.

Equally nervous, "They... they shouldn't be, right?"

"Then I'm going to click on it, okay?"

Lin Xinyue was somewhat nervous.

Gu Yu nodded, "Go ahead!"
