Pampered to Heaven by A Rich Husband - Chapter 5.2
His hand slightly swirled the glass, making the ice cube in it shake among themselves, and made a nice clicking sound, “If I were you, I would immediately check how is she related to that Mr. Liu. A man his age, most likely already has a family.”
Dingdong! The small light bulb in Cheng Youran’s head lit up, “Then I’ll have to contact a private investigator.”
“Just let Gao Qiao do it.”
Lu Zixiao put the glass on the coffee table and walked upstairs with his hand in his pocket.
Cheng Youran watched him go upstairs. After organizing her thoughts properly, she dialed Gao Qiao’s phone and said politely, “Secretary Gao, can you help me investigate someone…”
“Madam, just give me one night.” Gao Qiao’s serious voice came from the other end of the phone, which was inexplicably reassuring.
“Thank you, Secretary Gao.”
”
”
Cheng Youran hung up the phone.
Gao Qiao was born in the Gao family which was known as the family of elite secretaries. He received strict training when he was a child. He became Lu Zixiao’s secretary at a young age, which is inseparable from his excellent work ability.
In the original book, he willingly took the blame for Lu Zixiao’s crime and spent twenty years in prison.
What a pity.
Cheng Youran sighed silently.
She went upstairs and was ready to go to bed. When she opened the door of the room, she was stunned. With a flushed face, she asked quickly, “Why are you here?”
Lu Zixiao just took a shower. He was wearing silver-gray silk pajamas loosely while reading a book on the bed. A few drops of water slipped from his black hair down his Adam’s apple to his broad wheaten chest, and the abdominal muscles below were faintly noticeable.
“Why can’t I be here?”
He put down the
It seems that there was no problem…
Cheng Youran nodded and immediately turned her body heading to the guest room.
“Come back.”
The blue veins on Lu Zixiao’s temple throbbed, “Now, you can’t even bear sleeping in the same room with me?”
Cheng Youran stopped urgently and looked back at Lu Zixiao tentatively.
Lu Zixiao closed the book and sneered, “Don’t worry, I have no interest in you.”
Then why do you want me to come back?
Cheng Youran muttered silently. She slowly turned around and entered the room. After washing, she changed into her cotton pajamas. She lay down on the far right side of the bed and started playing games far away from Lu Zixiao.
The game she played was called
In a short time, Cheng Youran had already done a top up in-game with a small 100,000 yuan and became from a level 0 rookie to a level 80 boss. She emerged as a new force to be reckoned with on the wind cloud (top-up money) list and received dozens of friend applications. She slowly approved the requests.
When she reached the last one, she smiled because the player’s nickname was Yan Junze.
—The same name as the actor.
She guessed that the person was Yan Junze’s fan. He made his debut at the age of fourteen and won the Cannes actor award in the same year, shocking the Chinese and the foreign countries. Not only was his acting extraordinary, but he also looked quite extraordinary. Ask any girl on the road, eight out of ten would be his fangirl.

Evening, Ark Studio.
A young man with round spectacle and messy hair called the people in the studio to the conference room, “The competition in the mobile game market has heated up, and
“Two months ago, I planned to take it to the gaming exhibition. All investors that I asked tactfully expressed that I should give up on this game, but I said no. This is the studio’s first game. I will continuously run the game in business.”
At this point, he smiled miserably, “But for nearly a month, the cash flow has been negative, and we have already owed the bank more than 30,000 yuan. It’s time for everyone to say goodbye.”
The faces of the few sitting people looked heavy and unwilling. The game had formed a good reputation in the small circle. As long as they could get financing, even if it was 50,000, they had the confidence to continue the game.
”
”
The man didn’t speak anymore, he sat down quietly, but everyone present knew that he was the saddest person. In the beginning, he was the only one in the studio. He designed the concept bit by bit, and he programmed the game on his own.
—The game was his painstaking effort.
At that very moment, a girl with short hair opened the door of the conference room, “Cousin, there’s a player that recharged in-game!”
Xiong Chen looked up, “Did the recharge system have a problem?”
“No, no problem.” The girl stammeringly stated.
Xiong Chen looked at her and smiled helplessly. His cousin had always acted recklessly, “Then, recharge it.”
He suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly told her, “The service suspension announcement is to be made tonight. You should return it to them.”
To ensure the balancing nature of the game,
He never thought about making money from in-game recharge, so the threshold for in-app purchases had become higher. It turned out that the average player could buy low-level materials and equipment at most.
But 100 yuan was also money, and he didn’t want to make money through cheating.
“Don’t halt the game.” The girl shook her head excitedly.
“I don’t want to stop running it either.” Xiong Chen stood up, walked in front of his cousin, and patted her on the shoulder, “Unless an investor is willing to invest money, there will be no money to rent a server.”
“But the player has done a top-up of 100,000 yuan!”
The girl’s heart was still beating excitedly now. When she saw the number, she thought there was a problem with the recharge system, so she called to ask.
“Ten yuan…”
Xiong Chen was about to smile when the words suddenly registered in him. He suddenly reacted, his lips were dry, and he kept shaking, “What did you say, 10 yuan or 100,000 yuan?”
Xiong Chen was not the only one who was excited, but everyone present stood up, holding their breath and waiting. Waiting for the girl’s answer, and for a while, the conference room was so quiet that you could’ve even heard a needle falling.
“One hundred thousand.” The short-haired female repeated under everyone’s attention, “I called, the player also asked if the max level is only 99. I answered yes, and she expressed regret.”
Xiong Chen: …
Others did a top-up of 100,000 because they only have that much money. However, this player did a top-up of 100,000 because that was the maximum limit for top-up!
Xiong Chen suppressed his excitement. When he turned around, he took the opportunity to wipe away his tears. He said loudly to everyone, “We don’t need to stop the game! Keep working!”
The long-depressed studio burst into cheers.
No one knew that this studio, the presently unknown and even poor enough to stop serving, would become the largest game developer in China in the future.
The author has something to say:
Cheng Youran: I can be a canary, I can, I can!
Lu Zixiao sneered: So you will eat only about how much a canary eats?
Cheng Youran, KO.
(TN: ‘Canary’ refers to a person that is being locked up and raised by others. It looks carefree and glamorous, but there is no freedom for it. Canary is also a bird.)
