"Brother Yang, this is a bit overwhelming..." Zhang Yan was very surprised.
The bosses of other companies are always finding ways to deduct their employees' wages, but here, my own boss is different—he's taking the initiative to give red envelopes to his employees.
"If there's anything you can't handle, just keep it!" Yang Tianhua raised his face and spoke sternly. "The red envelope isn't too large—just one thousand yuan. The benefits you've brought to the company are worth far more than that."
"In the future, just do your best. The harder you work, the richer I'll get," Yang Tianhua said, his face softening as he made a joke.
Zhang Yan, however, couldn't accept the red envelope, as he had come to offer his resignation this time.
"Brother Yang, I can't accept this red envelope. In fact, I came here to submit my resignation," Zhang Yan said honestly.
Yang Tianhua was momentarily stunned, and after a long pause, he forced a smile. "Resign... resign?! Xiao Zhang, you're so talented, why do you want to resign? Are things not going well in the company?"
Zhang Yan replied, "That's not the case. Our company is doing well. Although I'm a bit tired, I really like working here."
"The reason I'm resigning is because I want to start my own business."
"I see you want to venture out on your own..." Yang Tianhua sighed with relief, then smiled. "Alright, I've already noticed that you're a talented person. If you stayed with me, you'd certainly make it big."
"Okay, I respect your decision. You can go to the HR department to complete the formalities later. I'll also offer you another month's salary."
Zhang Yan thought for a moment and didn't refuse. He simply said, "Thank you, Boss."
Yang Tianhua waved his hand. "There's no need to thank me. In fact, I'm happy that you've decided to leave on your own terms."
Yang Tianhua lowered his voice, speaking confidentially, "To be honest, our company is on the brink of collapse. Recently, I've been contacting other firms to see if there's a large company willing to buy us out."
"Ah?! You want to sell the company?!" Zhang Yan was taken aback.
He knew that the company was not very profitable and had been incurring losses, but he didn't expect things were so dire that Yang Tianhua had already begun looking for buyers.
Yang Tianhua nodded and explained, "Yes, you know that of the three main games our company develops, two are card-based mobile games, and one is a 3D martial arts RPG. None of them are keeping up with the market anymore."
"We haven't made any progress on new product development, and the company is in such poor shape that I can't keep it running."
"I had planned to wait a few more days to find a buyer and then tell everyone about it, letting them decide whether to stay or leave. Since you've already decided to resign, I can tell you now."
He sighed deeply. "I've been running this company for five or six years, and it's hard to let go. But there's nothing more we can do. Our company never managed to launch a blockbuster game, and now we're just paying off old debts, surviving from month to month..."
Zhang Yan sighed too. It was the first time he saw his boss look so defeated.
Just as Zhang Yan was about to say something comforting, the voice of the system suddenly rang in his ears.
"Ding - the company is in danger of being annexed. The god-level selection system has been triggered:
1. Comfort the boss and assure him that a comeback is possible. (Reward: Title - Affectionate and Righteous Worker)
2. Accept the red envelope and say, 'Xiao Yang, what's going on today?!' (Reward: Title - Two-Faced, White-Eyed Wolf)
3. Acquire a shrimp game company. (Reward: Access to the design creativity for a popular game, entrepreneurial funds of 1 million per day.)
Note: The startup funds can only be used for business-related expenses such as employee wages, benefits, purchasing raw materials, leasing premises, etc. Private use is prohibited.
The amount is 1 million per day, which can accumulate over the course of a natural month, and any leftover funds will be cleared at the end of the month."
Wow, this is a treasure!
A startup fund of 1 million per day, accumulating over a month. Does that mean the system is offering 30 million a month to start my business?!
Though this 30 million cannot be used for personal expenses, it's still an incredible gift from the system. If Zhang Yan manages to create a value of 3 million from the 30 million, it would look like he's lost 27 million, but in reality, he's made 3 million with blood, sweat, and tears!
Moreover, the system also gives a blockbuster game plan. With the capabilities of Shrimp Games, if enough money is spent, this blockbuster will surely be completed.
At the same time, he could save Shrimp Games and make it his own industry. Isn't this the first step towards a prosperous life?
So, without hesitation, Zhang Yan chose the third option—it was an opportunity for massive wealth.
He then asked seriously, "Boss, how much are you planning to sell this game company for?"
