"Now that everything has been sold, isn't it pointless to talk about it? Are we supposed to refund the Penguins and get everything back?"
Li Hong could guarantee that even if they were to refund, it might not be possible to retrieve anything.
The Penguins had long coveted the Goddess Alliance; now that they had taken a bite of this juicy piece, how could they possibly spit it out?
It was clear that this was almost impossible.
With a faint smile, Li Hong began editing a post on Weibo.
Even though the decision was already made, he still wanted to apologize to the loyal fans of the studio.
As for the reasons behind it, it was best not to explain. After all, the Virtual Helmet had yet to enter mass production, and if something went wrong then, it would truly be disastrous.
"We sincerely apologize for this decision. The Goddess Alliance is the first game from our studio and has gained fame in the gaming world because of it. Selling it is painful for both myself and our employees.
However, we had no choice. For the better future of the company, we reluctantly had to let go of the Goddess Alliance. Here, we extend our heartfelt apologies to all the players who have supported us.
Many people believe that I, Li Hong, sold the studio for a huge profit and will never make games again. I disdain such baseless speculation; whether or not we still own the studio, we will always be a game company.
Selling the studio was merely a means to raise funds for new projects. Currently, development on our new game is progressing smoothly, and I believe we will be able to meet everyone soon.
The new game will be something unique, and I am confident that everyone who plays it will come to love our new creation."
The Weibo post was brief, just over a hundred words. Yet within this limited space, Li Hong detailed the reasons for selling the studio and provided updates on the new game's development while sincerely apologizing to many players.
After checking for typos, Li Hong quickly clicked send.
The moment he sent out the post, as soon as it appeared on his Weibo page, he received his first like and comment.
Looking down at his phone, Li Hong's face was filled with shock and disbelief.
How could it be this guy?
“Lin Ruxian liked your post!”
“Lin Ruxian commented on your Weibo a minute ago!”
Indeed, the first like and comment were snatched up by Lin Ruxian. This was something Li Hong never expected; after all, Lin Ruxian was a prominent figure. Did she really have that much free time?
Opening the comment details page, Li Hong instantly saw the comment left by Lin Ruxian.
“Couch, couch! Keep it up! If you don’t make a good game, I’ll come over to your place for a meal.”
Li Hong felt like a row of black lines was about to appear on his forehead. Was this really the big star he remembered? Why was she only interested in stealing couches at night?
“My home doesn’t welcome you! Dream on about mooching meals!” Li Hong angrily replied to Lin Ruxian’s comment.
This woman really had no shame; had she become addicted to mooching meals?
Although he knew that Lin Ruxian was most likely just joking, Li Hong still felt uneasy.
Unexpectedly, right after he replied, there was another comment from Lin Ruxian.
“It’s just cooking for me, look how scared you are.”
Li Hong thought this woman must be out of her mind. What did she mean by “just cooking for me”? Who did she think he was? Why should he cook for her?
Just as he was about to reply to the shameless Li Hong, he suddenly remembered that this was Weibo, and being too direct wouldn’t do.
After pondering for a moment, he finally replied, “Cooking is fine, but let’s see if you dare to come eat!”
At the end of his reply, Li Hong added two cheeky emojis.
"Alright, what do you want to eat? Want to eat me?" she said, her voice laced with shyness.
"This girl is such a rogue..." Li Hong thought, feeling an immense headache. He decided to abandon any plans of bantering with this mischievous woman.
Faced with a girl who was shamelessly determined to get close to him, Li Hong felt utterly powerless.
He could only hope that this rogue was just being playful...
For some reason, he suddenly felt a wave of fear at the thought of her actually showing up at his door for a meal.
It wasn't that he didn't want to cook or that he disliked Lin Ruxian's boldness; it was simply a desire to avoid her persistent advances.
His instincts told him that this couldn't continue. His heart only had room for Yuchen, and no one else.
Lin Ruxian was beautiful and captivating.
But it was precisely this beauty that made Li Hong wary.
He feared falling into this beautiful trap, ending up as fodder for gossip and romantic rumors. Even more so, he dreaded the possibility of becoming so enmeshed in her allure that he would overlook Yuchen's existence and inadvertently cause her irreparable harm.
This unknown fear kept Li Hong cautious about interacting with women. He wasn't sure if this was what Lin Ruxian referred to as misogyny, but he was undeniably afraid.
Lin Ruxian's various signs only deepened his unease. He wasn't sure if he was misreading the situation, but he felt he was mostly right in his assumptions.
...
In a makeup room at a film studio on the outskirts of the capital, Lin Ruxian sat before the mirror, dressed in an extravagant consort outfit. She glanced at her phone and burst into laughter at the reply she received.
"This fool thinks he's not misogynistic!"
She didn't even know what was so funny; all she knew was that seeing Li Hong's stiff response brought her genuine joy.
But after she picked up her phone to reply, she found herself waiting a long time for Li Hong's response.
One minute!
Ten minutes!
Half an hour...
Time passed quickly, and realizing she wouldn't receive a reply from Li Hong, Lin Ruxian sadly put her phone away.
In front of the mirror in the dressing room, Lin Ruxian rested her chin on her hand, staring into the mirror as she fell into deep thought.
It was as if a familiar figure suddenly emerged beside the charming silhouette in the mirror, wrapping its arms around her and saying, "You must be tired from filming. Take a good rest for a while; don’t push yourself too hard."
The face of that figure was somewhat blurred, but Lin Ruxian could still see through the haze and recognize the true appearance of the person.
With a pampering smile and wearing a shirt with Happy Sheep on it, paired with faded blue jeans.
That person looked exactly like Li Hong.
"Lin Ruxian? Lin Ruxian?" Her manager, Sister Wang, gently shook Lin Ruxian's shoulder, trying to wake her from her slumber in the dressing room.
"Huh?"
Lin Ruxian jolted awake and immediately saw Sister Wang's concerned face.
"Lin Ruxian, you’re too tired. Why don’t you take a break for now? I’ll go talk to the director; your scenes can wait until tomorrow." Sister Wang said with sympathy.
She thought Lin Ruxian had fallen asleep in the dressing room due to exhaustion.
But Lin Ruxian knew that it wasn’t just fatigue; she was clearly feeling something else entirely.
Thinking back to that dream, Lin Ruxian felt her face burn with embarrassment.
"No need, Sister Wang. I'll finish filming today, so I can have a whole day of rest tomorrow."
Having completed her scenes today meant she could finally relax tomorrow. Should she go and grab a meal?
As Lin Ruxian pondered, she completely overlooked what her manager, Sister Wang, was thinking.
Seeing the lovestruck expression on Lin Ruxian's face, Sister Wang, being someone who had been through it all, naturally understood what the girl was thinking. Shaking her head in resignation, Sister Wang left the makeup room without saying another word.
The girl had developed a crush; she wondered whose troublemaker it was.
Hopefully, he would be a good person; otherwise, it could get complicated...
