Game development begins with destroying Girls' Frontline.

What Lin Li said specifically is not important; what is important is that he appeared on the evening news.

Especially for Su Shanshan's parents' generation, appearing on CCTV news was a great honor, something that would be celebrated with a large banquet.

With the added benefit of CCTV's halo effect.

When Lin Li spent the Chinese New Year at Su Shanshan's home, he felt right at home.

This made Su Shanshan complain incessantly, saying that she didn't even get such good treatment when she went home.

The mother-in-law would tell everyone she met that Lin Li looked a little unwell on the news, and then she would put the video that Su Shanshan had sent her on her phone.

But in reality, no one asked at all.

However, in such situations, even if no one asks, people will usually say a few words out of curiosity.

"Did you really win over that handsome young man on the evening news?"

"Shanshan has really snagged a rich husband!"

Hearing this, the mother-in-law couldn't stop smiling.

The father-in-law did try to persuade her, saying there was no need to be so ostentatious, but the mother-in-law wouldn't listen.

"Didn't you hear the gossip they were saying before Shanshan didn't have any friends? If we don't take advantage of the New Year when all the relatives are here, do you expect me to go to them one by one later?"

of course.

Mothers-in-law sometimes encounter some sarcastic people.

They say that being rich doesn't necessarily mean you have good character.

At this point, the mother-in-law will directly start criticizing.

"How could someone who appears on the evening news have bad character?"

Looking at this sentence alone, there is actually no logical connection between the beginning and the end.

But for Lin Li's parents' generation, they really believed in this. Being featured on the national news was essentially seen as a sign of the government endorsing his character.

In short, after one round...

Lin Li acted as if he had just taken a trip to Su Shanshan's house.

~~~

Although meeting my father-in-law went smoothly, he is still an elder, and greeting all the relatives was quite tiring.

Afterwards, Lin Li took Su Shanshan back to his own home.

The person who felt right at home became Su Shanshan again, after a mirror image of meeting relatives.

The two were exhausted, but at least they finally had some time to themselves.

So I packed my bags and took a plane to Xi'an.

I started my "Buddhist-style" travel.

The so-called "Buddhist-style travel" means sleeping until you naturally wake up, seeing whatever you want to see, not worrying about anything, not checking off tourist attractions, and simply relaxing.

Therefore, the first stop on this trip became a hot spring hotel.

~~~

After soaking for a while, the drizzle stopped, and everything seemed to quiet down.

After a while, another gust of wind rose outside the wall, rustling the leaves.

Perfect white noise.

It makes people feel good.

Soon, the sound of footsteps approached.

Opening your eyes is an extremely pleasing sight.

Su Shanshan came out wrapped in a bath towel.

Tall and slender figure, lovely face.

Long, straight legs, small and cute snow-white feet, and a beautiful figure wrapped in a white bath towel.

Her black hair was tied up and held in place with a red hairpin.

A Chinese knot was attached to the end of the hairpin.

This embellishment makes the girl look gentle and lovely, while also giving her a slightly inexplicable Chinese cosplay feel, and the white silk bath towel also looks a bit like a cheongsam.

"How's it going? Does it look good?"

Lin Li nodded.

Su Shanshan was somewhat skeptical.

"Really? I was only wearing a bath towel, and you're praising me for that?"

Without saying a word, Lin Li stood up, put his arm around Su Shanshan, and walked into the room.

Su Shanshan shrank back like a little rabbit.

"Hey, what are you doing? I haven't even entered the hot spring yet..."

Lin Li looked serious.

"Get down to business first."

"What's the matter?"

Because Lin Li's expression was so serious, Su Shanshan almost didn't realize what the important matter was.

Until Lin Li led him to the bedside...

Chapter 330 The Sea Cat's Illness

After finishing all the important business.

The two took a shower before returning to the hot spring.

This time, Lin Li finally behaved himself, leaning against the edge of the pool and relaxing completely.

"Ah~ Soaking in a hot spring after exercising is so relaxing."

Su Shanshan blushed.

She also leaned against him.

"Ever since you went to Qiongzhou for the meeting, you've seemed to be under a lot of pressure. What happened?"

Before we knew it, we had spent a year or two together.

Su Shanshan was already very familiar with Lin Li.

Outsiders couldn't see the changes in Lin Li during this period, but she did notice them. Since she had a rare day off today, she asked this question.

"I'm mainly thinking about the company's future development. The next year or two are crucial for us, and I'm worried that I might go down the wrong path."

Lin Li soaked in the hot spring, sighing with admiration.

Next year is really important for Spark, as a whole series of games will be launched next year. At the same time, how the company will operate has also become a problem.

Lin Li has now reached a crossroads.

Moving to the right, Lin Li can choose to be conservative, maintain the existing scale, and focus his energy on the quality of each game.

To the left, Lin Li can leverage his current cash advantage to continue expanding his scale, build a platform, and even break into the ACG (Anime, Comics, and Games) community to compete for influence in a larger market.

The former has lower risk, while the latter has higher risk, but the profit is not necessarily higher than that of the former.

After all, building a platform would be incredibly expensive.

Furthermore, once the scale expands, even a large number of projects cannot guarantee profitability.

"With you here, even if we take the wrong path, I will still follow you to the end."

Su Shanshan, leaning against Lin Li, placed her slender hands on Lin Li's shoulders and gently massaged them.

Feel the gentleness around you.

Lin Li initially wanted to laugh, but his mind quickly cleared up again.

Su Shanshan's words served as a reminder to him.

Actually, Xinghuo can choose any path now.

The prerequisite is to find someone to go with him.

Talent is the core factor that determines everything.

Think of this.

Lin Li turned over and kissed Su Shanshan.

"Honey, you're amazing! Let's go, let's get down to business."

"Huh!? We just did that?"

"It's different. I saw you brought a cosplay outfit in your suitcase...hehe..."

"What? I brought those to take pictures."

Despite saying that, Su Shanshan ultimately couldn't break free from Lin Li's grasp and followed him into the room.

~~~

The 2018 Spring Festival passed quickly.

After the start of the year.

There are two important things within Spark Games.

The first thing was that Xu Menglu's team entered the Xinghuo Building.

After a week of negotiations, Xinghuo finally signed the acquisition agreement with 360, who seemed completely devastated by the losses.

From this moment on, the Shining Project Team officially became a member of Spark.

The once empty Xinghuo Building is now filled with more and more people.

Second thing.

The sea lion is sick.

of course.

This illness does not refer to a specific physiological problem.

Instead, he/she suffered from a mental illness.

Specifically, this manifests as working overtime, spending almost the entire day at the company, from nine in the morning until one or two in the morning, and continuing to do so the next day.

This far exceeds Lin Li's understanding of overtime work.

The consequence of Hai Mao working overtime like this was that it turned the entire Spark Team 2 into a chaotic mess.

This result looks very strange.

How come the producer's overtime work has messed up the work team?

The reason is actually very simple.

Although Hai Mao works overtime, he himself doesn't produce much content other than art; the real content production is done by ordinary employees.

This is because of his overtime work.

Things that were originally planned for development were all brought forward.

Even though Hai Mao didn't subjectively want others to work overtime, he started accelerating, and naturally, the demands on various tasks also accelerated.

The speed at which he needed things also increased.

Once the entire chain of operations was completed, everyone started working overtime.

People are not machines.

Even if the benefits offered by Spark Games are generous.

Even with such long hours of overtime, major problems can still arise.
