I Am the Only Fertile Woman in the Game-Chapter 277 Negotiation

Ye Xi laughed until she was out of breath, took a deep breath, and then said, "I recorded the whole process, from the moment the security guards violently took us away to the moment you forced me to sign and identify Suisui, including your phrase ’female losers’. Oh, guess what happens next?"

Han Chen’s face turned grim, and suddenly, the door to the conference room was violently pushed open. A member of the Public Relations staff rushed in, looking tense: "President Han, there are a lot of protesters outside demanding the release of Qiao Suisui and Ye Xi, and the media has already started reporting on this."

Han Chen’s face grew even darker, clearly not having anticipated that things would escalate to this extent.

Eight hours earlier.

Qiao Suisui and Ye Xi had gone through all possible scenarios on the plane.

They realized that even if they directly used the media and live streaming to expose, they might still be counterattacked by INF Corporation because they were up against capital, a massive company, a brand trusted by gamers.

Ye Xi was somewhat defeatist and said dejectedly, "Let’s just do it the rough way. I’ll go directly to draw the fire since I’m already on their blacklist, and then you can forcefully break in and shut down that damn erasure program!"

Qiao Suisui remained silent.

Ye Xi probably thought her plan was ridiculous and stopped talking too.

After a long silence, Qiao Suisui suddenly spoke up, "What if... if we can’t beat them, we join them?"

"Huh?" Ye Xi adjusted her glasses and leaned in, "Tell me more about your revenge plan in detail."

Qiao Suisui whispered into her ear, laying out her thoughts thoroughly, and Ye Xi’s eyes sparkled the more she listened.

She knew she couldn’t fight INF head-on and had to outsmart them. So she planned to throw a smokescreen first, making Han Chen believe her goal was to reveal the company’s erasure of the player’s gaming world during the live stream. Han Chen would surely act to counter that. At that point, Qiao Suisui and Ye Xi could work together, pretending to be at a disadvantage, using a hidden camera in their collar to record everything. Their initial plan involved leading the conversation to make Han Chen slip up and admit to INF’s use of unfair means to cheat Ye Xi out of her game design copyrights. With this, Qiao Suisui would have another chip in her hand.

Neither Qiao Suisui nor Ye Xi could have foreseen how helpful that assistant would be, like an undercover agent sent by their side, daring to say anything.

Ye Xi also laughed at this fact. All her recordings were being uploaded to the cloud in real-time. All she needed to do was press the inconspicuous button on her glasses to transmit, and she had done this action tens of thousands of times before—it was second nature to her, and the assistant had no clue.

Back to the present moment, Han Chen turned to look at Qiao Suisui, roaring with barely contained rage, "What exactly did you do?"

Qiao Suisui raised her eyes calmly, meeting Han Chen’s gaze, "I didn’t want to go this far initially, just wanted to negotiate with you properly, but from the start, President Han didn’t take me seriously, thinking we weren’t even qualified to discuss terms with you. I wonder if President Han still thinks the same now?"

Han Chen, beside himself with fury, grabbed his tie and yanked it down. He stared at Qiao Suisui with a ghastly smile.

"Very well, you’ve done very well."

Then he asked the Public Relations Department to bring the latest updates, and there—the assistant’s recent statement had already become a short video, looping on various public platforms—

"All those players are just like you, empty and desperate female losers. We spend a fortune creating this game to fill their empty souls, and yet they talk about self-worth during a live stream, ridiculous." frёeωebɳovel.com

The video, once pushed out, quickly captured the public’s eye with rather heartless hashtags: #INFCompanyDespisesPlayers, #TheseDaysGameDevsCanCriticizeThoseWhoPay, #INFBloodyBun, #BetweenINFandKoreansWho’sBetterAtStealing?GameOriginalDesignerThreatened#

Han Chen violently threw his iPad to the ground, and the employees all held their breath, not daring to make a sound. The assistant who had just spoken knew he had caused trouble and was as white as a ghost.

The man breathed heavily as he glared at Qiao Suisui. He began to methodically instruct the Public Relations department, "Issue a statement immediately. The involved employee has been dismissed. We must offer a formal apology to quell the public opinion and players’ anger. Also, get in touch with all platforms to remove all related entries and bring down the trending searches!"

The PR department’s employee spoke with difficulty, "We contacted the platforms as soon as we could, but... it seems someone beat us to the punch."

Han Chen frowned and sought further explanation with his gaze, only to hear the employee say, "The account that posted it is newly registered; theoretically, it shouldn’t have had such a traffic volume boosting it, but now it seems clear – someone orchestrated this from behind the scenes within less than ten minutes from the video posting to its viral spread."

At the same time, the telephones in the open office area wouldn’t stop ringing – dozens of them, all at once, like a symphony of death.

An employee picked up the phone, said a brief "Hello," and was transfixed on the spot. Then he slowly turned around, his face a tableau of the helplessness and struggle characteristic of a working-class person.

He said, "President Han, there’s a call from the front desk. They said…"

"Spit it out!" Han Chen was on the verge of exploding and nearly roared.

"A Mr. Guan is here with a team of lawyers in the lobby. He says, says you must release his student immediately."

Han Chen rubbed his forehead, irritated and unable to understand why all these troubles had to converge on this day. He called out irritably, "What student, find someone to..."

The employee, wary of being scolded, didn’t let him finish and cut him off hurriedly, "He said his student’s name is Qiao Suisui."

It was then that Han Chen finally realized the young woman in front of him had come prepared and was not acting rashly.

Qiao Suisui remained composed. She looked at Han Chen and asked, "Maybe now you feel I’m worthy to negotiate with you, President Han?"

Han Chen let out a mocking laugh and dismissed everyone, leaving just the two of them in the conference room.

"You’re very clever," he said, staring at Qiao Suisui.

"Thank you, you’re very arrogant," replied Qiao Suisui without fear, "Your underestimation made my plan go unexpectedly smoothly."

Han Chen’s face darkened, "Out with it, what do you want? After all this trouble, surely it’s not just for me to not sabotage your game world?"

"I want the operational licensing rights to this game."

Han Chen leaned back, disbelieving, and as if he hadn’t heard her correctly, said, "Say that again?"

Qiao Suisui did not show any signs of intimidation due to his reaction; instead, she confidently stated, "Give me the operational licensing rights, and I’ll bring in double the current overseas revenue, here in the inner land market."

Han Chen narrowed his eyes, taking a real measure of Qiao Suisui for the first time.

Although INF was brimming with capital, it didn’t mean this project was profitable. In fact, due to the initial development costs, the game was still losing money, which was why Han Chen cared so much about this publicity opportunity.

The number of female users overseas was not as large as the demand among women in the inner land. Moreover, Ye Xi’s design had been very much in tune with localization from the start, something that always hampered Han Chen. He was only able to target the East Asia market, while the sales performance in North America and other regions looked unflattering.

Han Chen kept his composure, but he was internally shaken. Such business acumen coming from this seemingly delicate young woman before him.

She looked barely of age, with a delicate face that was the crush of every college boy, and at an age where she should be engaging in naive romances with immature boys. Yet here she was, confidently discussing business with him.
