Chapter 75: Criss-Cross
When initially asking an interior designer to design the overall decoration style and divide the areas for Chang'an Capital's entire floor of offices, Murong Feng specifically requested that his office be in the southernmost part of the floor. When Zhou Haitao asked him the reason, he just smiled without answering.
Now, late at night, Murong Feng was still sitting in his office, smoking a cigar, gazing tenderly out the window. The lights were still on at the 16th floor of the building opposite - that was the investment banking department of Galaxy Securities.
Glancing at his watch, it was already past 10 PM. Murong Feng had been busy all day, having just slipped away from a TOM Beijing employee gathering. Not knowing where else to go, he returned to the company. Now, if he didn't have social activities, he would spend most of his time in Chang'an Capital's office.
Of course, he had offices in TOM Beijing, Fengxing, and Harbor, but Murong Feng felt that Chang'an Capital was now his formal workplace.
There was another reason - it was very close to Ye Zi's company. If Murong Feng wasn't out, they could even have lunch and dinner together. Although Ye Zi was exhausted from studying every day, she would still set aside 1-2 days a week to go out with Murong Feng, watching movies, small theater plays, or meeting classmates in Beijing to sing together.
Watching Ye Zi wave goodbye and turn to pack up, Murong Feng smiled, enjoying the feeling of gazing at each other from afar.
Tonight, planning to take Ye Zi home, Murong Feng let Guo Yong leave first. Guo Yong hesitated but agreed, knowing he shouldn't be a third wheel when the boss was meeting his lover.
Murong Feng hugged Ye Zi tightly as she ran into his arms, asking, "So, your place or mine?" Ye Zi blushed, "Mine, of course. I've been lacking sleep from studying, I'm tired and need to go home to sleep!" Finding her adorable, Murong Feng teased her, "Oh? You wouldn't sleep at my place? What would you do then?" Ye Zi blushed even more.
Knowing Ye Zi was shy, Murong Feng stopped teasing her. He smiled, "I know you're tired. At my place, you can take a hot bath, enjoy the breeze on the roof terrace, look at the stars, and chat with me. It'll improve your mood."
Ye Zi had been looking haggard lately, preparing for the sponsor representative exam. Murong Feng had often advised her not to work so hard, wanting her to live happily and freely.
Ye Zi would always listen with a smile, giving him a kiss when he showed concern, but continued to work hard afterward. Murong Feng could only sigh, admiring her determination.
Finally, Ye Zi couldn't resist Murong Feng's persuasion, and they drove back to his apartment.
Ye Zi cuddled in Murong Feng's arms, sitting in a swing chair on the roof terrace, slowly rocking. The night sky was dotted with stars as they chatted about company matters, surrounded by a feeling of happiness.
Ye Zi remembered something and laughed, "Yesterday, a girl from the neighboring fund management department secretly told me during lunch that she discovered a handsome boss-level guy in the office opposite ours, and her heart skipped a beat. I knew it was you! Murong, you're such a girl magnet!"
Murong Feng was surprised, never thinking he'd be seen while looking at Ye Zi's company from his window. He shook his head, "Alright, I'll keep the blinds closed when working. When you come to the window, text me a signal, and I'll open the curtains."
Ye Zi giggled, "Why act like we're underground workers? It's your fault for having your office facing our company. You make me want to go to the window to see you! It's disrupting my work..." Though she was complaining, her words made Murong Feng happy.
It was rare for them to have such leisurely time together these days, cuddling and chatting. They talked about happy and touching things, whispering and embracing affectionately, enjoying a special intimacy.
Ye Zi took an aromatherapy bath in the oversized square bathtub in the master bathroom, feeling all the fatigue from recent days dissipate. She never thought being rich was particularly good, but she really liked Murong Feng's huge bathtub. It was much more comfortable than the shower in her rented apartment.
Walking out of the bathroom wrapped in a white towel, she immediately caught Murong Feng's eye. Fresh from the bath, her features were as clear and beautiful as a painting. Her smooth skin was flushed, extremely alluring. Her wet black hair fell on her snow-white shoulders, exuding a rare, intoxicating charm of feminine laziness.
The towel barely covered to the top of her thighs, and those long, slender, enchanting legs instantly ignited Murong Feng's desire. He walked over, gently undid Ye Zi's towel, admiring her heavenly beautiful body, and suddenly embraced her, showering kisses like raindrops on her hair, face, ears, and neck.
Ye Zi hugged Murong Feng's neck, gasping and moaning softly, calling "Murong..." She allowed Murong Feng to gently lay her on the bed. That night, Ye Zi yielded gracefully, intoxicated in body and soul, feeling every moment filled with pleasure and passion as they repeatedly reached the peak of spiritual and physical union. Only with Ye Zi did Murong Feng completely let go!
Ye Zi was Murong Feng's only woman in the past two years, and the one he cherished most.
After making love, Ye Zi fell into a sweet sleep in Murong Feng's arms. Murong Feng quietly looked at her beautiful face, suddenly feeling that he had spent too little time with her lately!
Murong Feng was very busy, with many responsibilities - company matters, association affairs, numerous social engagements, etc. Ye Zi was also busy, working overtime, studying, taking exams. One could imagine that even after she passed the sponsor representative exam, she would be even busier!
Shouldn't they relax a bit? Go out and unwind, take a vacation?
Murong Feng suddenly made a decision - after Ye Zi finished her sponsor representative exam next month, he would take her on a trip!
...
The next day, as soon as Murong Feng arrived at the company, he received a call from Wei Bao.
"Boss, the 'Criss-Cross' game development is completely finished!" Even over the phone, Wei Bao's happiness was palpable. Murong Feng was also overjoyed and flew to Hangzhou that day to celebrate with Ayu Games' entire development team.
'Criss-Cross' was a domestically developed 3D Chinese fantasy MMORPG by Ayu Games. Murong Feng, being an experienced player, tried it out and found the games graphics to be delicate, gorgeous, and realistic. The music and sound effects were also good. The faction settings, skills system, equipment system, quest system, etc., were all very distinctive with strong playability. Especially the carefully crafted high-definition opening CG, with its stirring and shocking visual effects, presented a grand spectacle. The ups and downs of the plot, the heart-pounding battlefield fights, the mysterious sect conspiracies... it was like a feast for the eyes and soul, completely captivating the viewer's attention.
Murong Feng was very pleased. He exclaimed to Wei Bao in surprise, "Fantastic, really fantastic! Little Bao, I didn't expect our development team's skills to be so high! I think this game can completely rival those imported games from abroad, and might even surpass those Korean games!"
Although Wei Bao was also very excited, he managed to control himself, smiling as he said, "We're now doing the final internal testing, finding bugs and adjusting the overall balance of the game. This process will probably last 2 weeks to a month. After that, we'll officially launch it to the market, inviting players to participate in closed testing... Boss, the real test of a game is still the market. There's a lot of marketing and ground promotional work to be done later!"
Murong Feng understood his meaning and smiled, "No problem. You make a budget for advertising and promotions, and after I review it, I'll allocate special funds to you!" Currently, Ayu Games' focus was on new game development. The few agency games they relied on before for operating income were developing moderately. If they wanted to carry out key marketing promotions, they still needed Murong Feng to inject funds.
Murong Feng was considering whether he needed to increase capital and further expand his share in Ayu Games. He could sense that the successful development of this 'Criss-Cross' game would surely bring earth-shattering changes to Ayu.
While the marketing funds needed to be budgeted by the marketing team first, Murong Feng immediately provided rewards for the development team. He gave a one-time reward of 10 million yuan in cash to the development team, with the specific allocation ratio within the team to be adjusted by Wei Bao. Murong Feng further announced that as 'Criss-Cross' went to market, there would be corresponding rewards for various departments in the company for subsequent advertising and marketing. The company immediately erupted in cheers, with employees overjoyed, deeply feeling the boss's generosity and the company's bright, limitless prospects.
Ayu Games, which had been lying low under Murong Feng's wing, began its soaring steps!
