Watching Pei Qian play the games with an “eye-searing” expression, Du Ruijie’s heart skipped a beat, silently thinking that this wasn’t good.

Du Ruijie himself didn’t play his own company’s games precisely because he knew exactly what kind of garbage they were.

Making Mr. Pei play these terrible games was truly putting him in an awkward position…

If Mr. Pei looked down on these two games, he would likely use that as a reason to negotiate the price down.

Du Ruijie braced himself mentally.

Pei Qian closed the laptop and handed it back to Wang Xiaobin. “Not bad.”

Not bad?

Du Ruijie was filled with respect, thinking that Mr. Pei was truly being polite. To give even a “not bad” evaluation to such games while holding his nose was considerate!

Pei Qian truly thought these two games weren’t bad.

Games this terrible—Pei Qian questioned whether he could achieve such awfulness himself.

After all, any game that couldn’t make money was good in his book!

Wang Xiaobin instinctively asked, “Mr. Pei, do you have any questions about these two games? I can answer them.”

Du Ruijie nearly stomped on Wang Xiaobin’s foot in anger.

What nonsense was he talking about!

Shouldn’t they move on from this topic as quickly as possible?

Was he forcing Mr. Pei to find faults?

Pei Qian smiled. “They have very clear designs. I don’t have any questions.”

Pei Qian did want to ask how they managed to make such garbage games…

But on second thought, it wouldn’t be appropriate to be so direct.

Wang Xiaobin took back the laptop and nodded. “That’s right. Mr. Pei is a professional who understands everything at a glance. I was being unnecessary.”

Du Ruijie let out a long breath.

Best to gloss over this quickly, complete the acquisition, take the money, and leave.

Then this mess—the depreciated office furniture, computers, and these useless employees—would all be Tenda’s problem, giving Mr. Pei a headache.

Pei Qian turned slightly, signaling Xin Hailu that she could start negotiating the price down.

Pei Qian wouldn’t have minded spending an extra 300,000 to 400,000 yuan, but suddenly felt it would be a waste.

Although it was system assets, giving Mr. Du such an easy benefit somehow felt uncomfortable.

With that money, he might as well provide more benefits to his employees.

So, they would negotiate the price down to Mr. Du’s expected minimum.

Assistant Xin flipped through her small notebook. “Mr. Du, as I understand it, you owe your employees a month’s salary. One of your two games is about to be shut down, while the other’s revenue has plummeted. At present, these two games can hardly be considered quality assets. The IP itself is essentially worthless. The desks, chairs, and office computers were purchased two or three years ago—they weren’t expensive when bought, and considering depreciation, their best destination might be the garbage dump. As you know, with Tenda’s office environment, these items are completely useless…”

Assistant Xin spoke quickly, and Du Ruijie’s face gradually turned pale.

It was over. All his previous sweet talk had been wasted.

He had thought that since Mr. Pei was so young, he probably lacked experience and could be persuaded to pay more with a bit of sweet-talking. But he had targeted the wrong person.

Mr. Pei wasn’t even handling the acquisition matters—it was all managed by the assistant behind him…

And judging by this assistant’s demeanor, she was experienced and could outmatch Du Ruijie in every aspect.

Not to mention, there was a huge gap in their presence and authority.

No matter how you looked at it, Du Ruijie was just a private business owner. He couldn’t compare to a professional like Assistant Xin from a major corporation. He was quickly rendered speechless.

Assistant Xin closed her notebook with a snap. “All things considered, our final offer is 550,000 yuan.”

Du Ruijie swallowed. This price was barely acceptable to him, but he felt somewhat reluctant to accept it.

Pei Qian smiled. “It’s fine, Mr. Du. I’ll add another 50,000 yuan—600,000 as a friendly price.”

Du Ruijie considered for a moment.

He wanted to go higher, but on second thought, he decided against it.

This Assistant Xin had calculated everything too precisely, leaving no good reason to negotiate further.

If he said something wrong and Mr. Pei became displeased and walked away, wouldn’t that be a huge loss?

With this in mind, Du Ruijie put on a smile. “Alright, Mr. Pei. 600,000 it is! I’m doing this for my brothers to have a better future…”

Pei Qian couldn’t help but feel speechless. It seemed this man was so accustomed to diplomatic talk that he constantly spewed nonsense, with barely a sentence that could be trusted.

“Well then, let’s proceed with the formalities,” Pei Qian glanced at Assistant Xin.

Although they had reached an agreement, there were still many things to do: carefully examining the company’s details, signing merger agreements, and so on. This wasn’t like shopping at a store where you swipe your card and take the item—it had to be done step by step.

But Pei Qian didn’t need to worry about these details.

“Mr. Pei is so straightforward! Truly someone who does big things!”

Du Ruijie was also pleased. Although the price was lower than he had expected, the extra 50,000 that Mr. Pei added at the end made him quite comfortable.

Most importantly, he had managed to get rid of the mess that had been worrying him lately, which was certainly something to be happy about.

“Let those employees outside go home on vacation for now. When the handover procedures are completed, we’ll notify them to come back to work.”

“Hmm… let’s say next Monday, May 10th.”

Pei Qian looked at the date. Today was Wednesday, and four days should be enough to complete most of the procedures.

After all, this wasn’t a billion-yuan acquisition case. Shang Yang Games was just a small company with limited assets. With Assistant Xin’s professional competence, there was plenty of time.

It would be good to let the employees have a vacation and begin adapting to Tenda’s work rhythm.

From now on, Shang Yang Games would be a subsidiary of Tenda, and all systems and benefits would need to align with the parent company.

Wang Xiaobin was taken aback, then nodded. “Yes, Mr. Pei! I’ll go notify everyone right away!”

Pei Qian didn’t leave but continued listening to Assistant Xin discussing various matters with Mr. Du in the office.

Moments later, a low murmur of discussion arose outside, as if stagnant water had suddenly come to life.

…

After Wang Xiaobin announced the vacation until next Monday and the imminent change of ownership, it immediately caused a stir.

Originally, Shang Yang Games was on its last legs, and many people had already been looking for new jobs.

Employees with good resumes, like Old Liu, had already successfully jumped ship.

But just yesterday, Du Ruijie suddenly announced that another company was willing to take over, asking everyone to spend an entire afternoon cleaning and tidying up their desks to welcome the potential new owner with the best appearance!

This news surprised many people. Given Shang Yang Games’ reputation, who would be crazy enough to take over such a mess?

But after a bit of inquiry, they heard it was Tenda Games, and everyone was shocked.

This good fortune… it was practically like a pie falling from the sky!

After all, Tenda Games had a great reputation recently, and many people wanted to join but couldn’t find a way in.

Though being acquired might make them only “adopted children” whose treatment wouldn’t match the “natural children,” it was still better than their current situation—they’d be working under Tenda’s umbrella, which was far more promising than now!

They had assumed that the acquisition would take at least a week or half a month to negotiate, and hadn’t expected a vacation—they were just planning to come to work and slack off as usual.

But unexpectedly, things moved so efficiently that an initial agreement had already been reached, with vacation until next Monday!

The employees of Shang Yang Games now had only one feeling: the ups and downs of life were truly exhilarating…

Just a few days ago, they were worried about unemployment. Now, suddenly, they had transformed into Tenda employees and got a four-day vacation!

It almost felt like a dream!
