The Action Has Begun

"By the way," Lin Xuan thought of something and asked, "Is there anyone in our company's game development department who is facing financial difficulties?"

Lei Hui glanced at the secretary.

"There is one," the secretary nodded. "His name is Shi Peiran. Recently, his daughter was hospitalized due to leukemia."

"What kind of person is he?" Lin Xuan asked.

Lei Hui replied, "I have a deep impression of him. He's a very honest person. I trust him; he wouldn't do anything to betray the company."

Lin Xuan nodded. "Call him over."

"Yes, boss," the secretary acknowledged.

Lin Xuan tapped his fingers lightly on the desk.

Next, there was a 99% chance that Starlight Group would approach Shi Peiran, and he could use this to his advantage.

Soon, Shi Peiran entered the office.

"Boss, Manager Lei," Shi Peiran greeted respectfully, his face marked by dark circles and exhaustion.

"Mm," Lin Xuan nodded.

"Your daughter is in the hospital, right?" Lin Xuan asked with concern.

"Yes," Shi Peiran replied softly.

Lin Xuan wrote out a check. "Here's one million. Consider it the company's contribution to your daughter's treatment. If you need more funds later, feel free to contact me. Additionally, I'll arrange for someone to help find a matching bone marrow donor for your daughter."

"Boss," Shi Peiran looked up in shock.

Lin Xuan smiled. "Of course, this money isn't free. Xiao Shi, I need you to do something for me."

"Boss, please tell me," Shi Peiran's eyes reddened.

The boss's gesture was like a lifeline in a snowstorm. Whatever it was, he was willing to do it.

Lin Xuan said, "I need you to be a mole."

He began explaining the plan to Shi Peiran.

After hearing Lin Xuan's words, Lei Hui's face showed an expression of understanding.

Their boss was cunning and thrifty.

While typical internet companies spent a fortune on marketing, their boss saved wherever he could.

Only on platforms like HuYin did he spend a little.

He essentially used other companies to promote Tianmu Group's products.

This time, the boss was likely planning the same.

By using this method, he could make Starlight Group take a major fall while having them spend money to promote Tianmu Group's game.

A win-win situation.

Lin Xuan said, "That's the general plan. Xiao Shi, can you do it?"

"Yes!"

Shi Peiran clenched his fists. "I will follow your instructions perfectly and ensure they don't suspect a thing."

"This is what I want you to give them. If they ask, hand it over," Lin Xuan handed Shi Peiran a document.

"Also, if Starlight Group asks you about the game, you can tell them anything."

"Understood."

Shi Peiran nodded.

As Lin Xuan predicted, that afternoon, Lin Qingwan personally met with Shi Peiran.

Shi Peiran arrived at the hotel.

"You said you have a way to treat my daughter, right?" Shi Peiran asked eagerly.

Lin Qingwan smiled.

"Mr. Shi, please have a seat."

Lin Qingwan gestured to the chair opposite her.

Shi Peiran sat down. "Miss, can you really treat my daughter?"

Lin Qingwan smiled faintly and placed an envelope in front of Shi Peiran.

"Inside is five million. It should be enough to treat your daughter's illness."

Shi Peiran looked up.

She must be the person from Starlight Group that the boss mentioned.

Shi Peiran said solemnly, "I can't accept this without reason. What do you want from me?"

"Nothing much. I just need you to do something for me. Let me introduce myself."

Lin Qingwan extended her hand to Shi Peiran. "I'm Lin Qingwan, a manager at Starlight Group."

"Starlight Group?"

Shi Peiran widened his eyes. "What exactly do you want?"

Lin Qingwan wasn't in a hurry to answer. She smiled and said, "Besides the five million, you can also join Starlight Group."

"Mr. Shi, Tianmu Group has only been around for a few months. It can't compare to Starlight Group. At Starlight Group, you'll have a brighter future. Who knows when Tianmu Group might go under?"

"As for what I need you to do,"

Lin Qingwan stirred her coffee gently with a spoon, "it's quite simple. I need you to steal your company's game plan for me."

"No!"

Shi Peiran shook his head. "I can't do that. If I'm caught, I'll go to jail."

"Then, Mr. Shi, are you going to watch your daughter die from leukemia?" Lin Qingwan raised an eyebrow.

"I don't want to, but..." Shi Peiran's face turned pale.

Lin Qingwan wasn't in a hurry. She leaned back on the sofa, waiting calmly for Shi Peiran's response.

"Miss Lin, I..."

Shi Peiran was about to refuse when a phone call came in.

"Son, did you borrow the money? Xue'er's condition can't wait any longer."

Hearing the voice on the phone, Shi Peiran's face turned deathly pale.

He sat in silence for a long time.

Finally, he reached out and took the envelope.

Lin Qingwan smiled. "Mr. Shi, I look forward to working with you."

"Looking forward to working with you," Shi Peiran replied in a daze.

"Miss Lin, what exactly do you want me to do?"

Lin Qingwan said, "I want you to steal the game plan for the project you're currently developing."

Soon,

Lin Qingwan received the game plan from Shi Peiran and delivered it to Lin Chang.

"This..." Lin Chang flipped through the document, his face filled with shock.

He never expected Tianmu Group to be developing this kind of game!

A sense of dread rose in Lin Chang's heart. If this game were to succeed, Tianmu Group would likely take over a significant portion of their company's market share.

Thinking of this,

A glint of determination flashed in Lin Chang's eyes. He called over the head of the game development department.

"Chairman, you wanted to see me?" the department head asked respectfully.

Lin Chang handed the game plan to the department head. "Stop all current projects and focus on developing this game."

The department head glanced at the plan, his eyes lighting up. "Chairman, where did you get this?"

Lin Chang replied, "It's from Tianmu Group."

The department head frowned. "They must have been working on it for a while. If we start now, we might not make it in time. All our efforts could go to waste."

Lin Chang sneered. "What does it matter? Their team is much smaller than ours. If we work fast and release the game before them, it's Tianmu Group that will suffer the losses."

By then, their company's game would rise to new heights, while Tianmu Group would be dealt a heavy blow.

This step was necessary.

"Alright. I'll get to it," the department head agreed.

The department head left the office.

Lin Chang chuckled. "Lin Xuan, you think you can go against me? You're overestimating yourself!"

At the same time,

Lin Li received a message from the underground organization.

[Sir, the operation has begun.]
