Tokyo: Being coveted by my wife, I just want to play games

This year is a slow year for stand-alone games. It would even be an exaggeration to describe it as a slow year for stand-alone games.

From the beginning of the year to now, apart from the "Elden Ring" at the beginning of the year, not counting the more mobile-oriented "FGO", there have been no other outstanding works in the entire single-player game circle, and there are not even works with sales reaching the million-level. So much so that the hottest news related to the game circle during this period is that Fuyukawa Tetsu brought people to the Akiyama family.

It's funny, but also normal.

There are only a few manufacturers in the world that can produce 3A masterpieces, and last year was a new era of console and handheld wars, and each manufacturer has launched its own "high-end weapons". In this context, it is normal that this year is a weak year for games, but

Just when many players are beginning to look forward to next year’s game lineup, an explosive news has once again ignited the industry – Toru Fuyukawa’s low-budget new work, “Don’t Starve”, will officially begin production today!

There is no active hype.

Miyano Miyano and Sato Fujiko did not do any publicity in the past two days, nor did they buy any advertisements. They simply put a simple line of words on the homepage of the GOGO platform - [The new work directed by Fuyukawa Tetsu himself: "Don't Starve", will be launched at the end of next month]. But the appearance of this line of words made the entire gaming community completely boil!

In the past two years, Dongchuan Che has not only made a lot of money, but also gained great reputation. Now jokes like "Dongchuan's products must be high-quality" have begun to circulate among the people.

To put it bluntly, the works that Dongchuan Che personally directed now almost no longer need to be promoted, unless they are attacked by competitors in the public opinion field. All they need to do is put his name on the works, and the influence will be exaggerated!

And it's not just his personal influence.

With the explosive popularity of "FGO", the anime works of the "Fate" series, and the growth of Sistar's music section, and the fact that he has invested heavily in the light novel and anime sectors this year to recruit authors, cartoonists, and anime studios, and to optimize platform community management.

Although the game library of the current GOGO platform is still a little weak, it is already a world-renowned entertainment and social forum, and the traffic of each section is very large. In this case, the news that Dongchuan Che is going to make Don't Starve is directly placed on the front page headline, and the advertising strength is also very good.

It has a very strong influence, plus the advertising space on the GOGO platform. Almost overnight, the entire online gaming section began to discuss this matter, and those self-media people who rely on traffic posted videos one after another frantically. As the source of everything, the Holy Light Society discussed this matter very enthusiastically.

"The president is actually going to lead the project himself. He has started to slowly disengage from the World of Warcraft and Pokémon projects. I thought he was going to completely transform and work behind the scenes."

"Who told you that the president is going to work behind the scenes? The main reason is that the two projects have passed the initial stage of development, and the development route and framework have been determined. In addition, I heard that Director Xiaoshan seems to be short of money recently, so he took the initiative to take on the development tasks of these two projects and moved his office to the company."

"Hey, is Director Xiaoshan here? That's rare. I've been working in the company for over a year, and I feel like I only see her at the mid-year and year-end meetings."

"Who isn't? And she always sleeps during meetings. It's because the president and the managing director pamper her. If it were in other companies, she would be scolded."

"But Director Xiaoshan is indeed very capable. Even when working at home, her team is the most efficient. With her leading the team, the president will definitely feel at ease. But... Tsk, I really envy those newcomers who can get such a big bonus as soon as they come in."

"Eh? Does Don't Starve also give dividends to new employees?"

"Yes, although the ratio is much lower than that of us old employees, I heard Director Kawaguchi say in the tea room yesterday afternoon that the president took into consideration that these young people have just entered the society and are living under great pressure in a big city like Tokyo, so he wanted to take care of them."

"Si Guoyi! It's a blessing for these newcomers to meet a boss like the president! Oh, by the way, there have been rumors that our company is going to make its own handheld game console. Do you have any news on this matter?"

"Ahem, I did hear some news, but the president and the others haven't spoken yet, so no one can be sure. But... I'm telling you, don't tell anyone else. I heard that the high-level meeting later will be to discuss this matter, and I heard that the leader of the handheld game console department will be the Akiyama family. Ah! Good morning, Miss Akiyama!"

At around nine o'clock in the morning, the first floor lobby of the Holy Light Society was bustling with people.

Two middle-aged office workers were chatting quietly while waiting for the elevator. The focus of their conversation was naturally two major events that had happened in the company during this period - Fuyukawa Tetsu was going to personally lead the team to make "Don't Starve", and Akiyama Kaori might become the head of the handheld department.

Most office workers still like to talk about gossip about their own company, and the two middle-aged men became more and more excited as they talked.

Just when the middle-aged man with a sausage mouth was talking excitedly, he suddenly found that his colleagues around him were quiet for a moment. Then, the employees near the entire elevator shaft began to consciously separate to both sides.

As the crowd parted, a sexy beauty with long, flaxen, slightly curly hair appeared in the sight of the man with the sausage mouth.

She was wearing a bright red lipstick, and her heavy breasts were wrapped in a white shirt. Thanks to the slim fit of the shirt, an extremely attractive curve was outlined between her chest and abdomen. The most attractive thing was the perfect gourd curve between her sexy waist and plump buttocks, as well as her slender legs wrapped in black silk under her hip skirt.

This sexy beauty has a strong aura. Although she is not as cold and strong as Miyano Mitsuha, not as arrogant and sharp as Sato Fujiko, not as dignified and generous as Ohara Chika, and not as gentle and intellectual as Sayoko, but even if she just stands there, she gives people a feeling of brightness and beauty like a fiery red rose.

What a beautiful woman.

Looking at the woman walking towards this side not far away, the sausage-mouthed man had such an idea in his mind. But soon, he shuddered all over, then obediently gave way to the elevator entrance, bowed nervously and greeted.

The words "Good morning, Miss Akiyama" made many male and female employees nearby, who had no idea what was going on and were just being pulled out of the way by their friends, stare with wide eyes!

Not everyone has seen Kaori Akiyama, but the news of Toru Fuyukawa going to Kyoto has been a hot topic recently, so there must be no employee in Shengguang Society who has not heard of Kaori Akiyama's name.

"She is that Akiyama Kaori?"

"She is even more beautiful than the rumors say. No wonder some people nicknamed her the Little Rose of Kyoto."

"Little Rose? That was her nickname when she first debuted. Look at her figure now. If it was [small], then our company would be full of washboards."

"Keep your voice down! The section chief is over there. She hates it when people talk about women's figures. But speaking of it, the president is really lucky. The beauties around him are more beautiful than each other."

"If you have the ability and character of the president, you can also have girls on both sides. Oh, by the way, if she comes over now, it seems that the company is really planning to make handheld game consoles!"

"It should be gone!"

The crowd around them chattered, and when they talked about the company's real intention to make a handheld game console, the atmosphere in the elevator shaft became noticeably noisier. After all, they were all members of the Holy Light Society, and the bigger the company became, the better it would be for them.

"The atmosphere in that guy's company is really different from other companies."

Hearing the whispered discussions around her, Kaori Akiyama, who came to the elevator door, slightly returned the bows of those who took the initiative to greet her, and there was a hint of curiosity and appreciation in her eyes.

The Japanese workplace has a very strict hierarchy. Generally speaking, subordinates don't dare to speak up in the presence of their leaders. Although the employees of the Shengguang Society were very polite to her, the overall atmosphere was still relatively relaxed.

As the saying goes, one leaf knows autumn.

Kaori Akiyama has been a manager at the Akiyama Group for more than ten years. She knows clearly that if the employees are not optimistic about the company's future, if they do not truly feel that they are a part of the company, and if they do not know that the company's leaders value work ability rather than superficial work, they would not dare to show such a relaxed attitude.

And it is obvious that this kind of working atmosphere is definitely beneficial for a game company!

"No wonder the Holy Light Society's production capacity is so exaggerated. They can produce one AAA title every year. It turns out that everything has a reason."

As the elevator model light got smaller and smaller, Kaori Akiyama kept thinking in her mind, and at this moment, the people around her suddenly bowed in unison towards the door.

"Hello, President!"

"Good morning, President!"

"Good morning, Hanoi-san!"

The crowd gathered together. Akiyama Kaori looked back and saw Toru Fuyukawa, who was wearing a white T-shirt and jeans, walking towards them with a beautiful woman with a gentle and intellectual face and a sexy figure.

"She is Kawachi Sayoko!"

The moment she saw Toru Fuyukawa, Kaori Akiyama's eyes were filled with joy, but when she saw Sayoko Kawachi, her heart suddenly tightened again!

It's not that she's jealous. She's been prepared since she left Akiyama's house with Dongchuan Che that day. But she can convince herself to accept Dongchuan Che's philandering problem, but that doesn't mean she can face Sayoko calmly!

Even if it's not Akiyama Kaori, all the women in Fuyukawa's family are like this. Although Sayoko doesn't like to take charge of things, she always silently contributes behind the scenes and helps her family take care of all kinds of daily life problems. But even the most thorny Sato Fujiko dare not say much in front of Sayoko, and can only lower her head and be obedient like a little wife.

This is not only because Dongchuan Che loves Sayoko very much, but also because, although they each have their own characteristics, they are not related to the green tea bitch or white lotus.

Although they understood that a man like Dongchuan Che who was rich, powerful, handsome and possessive would hardly hang himself on a tree, they all knew that this was not a reason they could justify themselves with, and they all still felt guilty towards Sayoko, including Dongchuan Che.

What's more, Sato Fujiko and the others were more or less familiar with Sayoko before, and everything was more or less a natural progression, and they felt like they were living together. But Akiyama Kaori had never met Sayoko before today!

tension!

very nervous!

Kaori Akiyama, who looked like a bright red rose just now, wilted in an instant.

The other employees around also felt the awkward atmosphere, and it was obvious that although some of them were extremely curious, they would never dare to stay here to read the gossip about their leader. So, under Dong Chuan Che's amused eyes, these employees bowed and greeted, and then ran away to the elevator shaft on the other side.

The crowd ran away in a huge crowd. Some employees who had just arrived at the company lobby and knew nothing saw Dong Chuan Che here and were about to come over to say hello, but they were quickly pulled away by other colleagues.

For a moment, although it was almost time to go to work, the elevator shaft became eerily quiet.

Looking at the nervous Akiyama Kaori, and then at Sayoko who looked normal but didn't speak, Fuyukawa Che pinched his nose and was ready to speak to ease the atmosphere. But at this moment, in his surprised and slightly surprised eyes, Akiyama Kaori took a deep breath, then walked to Sayoko and bowed deeply, "Kaori, meet your sister."
