He was actually feeling quite emotional inside.
Back when Minecraft was still considered a hidden gem, Mingyan was able to restrain himself and wait step by step to achieve his current success—now he is even less likely to join a large corporation and become a diligent cog in the machine.
Such a brilliant genius, a spirited young man, would never submit to anyone.
They started talking about something interesting and laughed together in the car.
This greatly excited the dedicated driver in front.
When he delivered Mingyan, he didn't guess what the young master was thinking, and he drove too fast; now this is his chance to show his true colors.
So the driver racked his brains and drove as slowly as possible. He even took a detour, leisurely driving half a loop around the famous cherry blossom park.
At this time of year, the cherry blossoms are actually just buds, far from being in bloom.
But this didn't stop the driver from imagining a shower of cherry blossoms, the kind of romantic, beautiful, pinkish-white foam soap.
We drove around for more than half an hour.
Mingyan, slightly tipsy, started talking to Xia Cheng about his next project.
"I'm planning to work on a team-based competitive game," Ming said. "It'll probably be something that combines both skill and strategy. This game will likely have high requirements for programming and art, and I'm currently looking for people to work on it."
Xia Cheng thought for a moment, then smiled: "It's hard to find, isn't it?"
Mingyan sighed.
He's just a recent graduate, and he's young and handsome. If he goes out to recruit people himself, it might give people the impression that he's unreliable.
Therefore, he commissioned a headhunter to help him search for suitable, experienced individuals.
Unfortunately, Bluestar Studio is not yet well-known, with only one casual game, Minecraft, recently released.
There have been no applicants with extensive work experience so far.
After all, they had no idea about the studio's revenue potential, its management system, or whether it would go bankrupt soon or if the owner would run off with his mistress...
Truly capable leaders wouldn't take such a risk.
Xia Cheng was clearly aware of this situation.
In fact, Aijia's platform is very willing to invest in small studios or startups that have the ability but lack resources. However, he knows that Mingyan is not short of funds at all, so he probably won't accept the injection of external funds so soon.
After thinking for a moment, Xia Cheng said, "I know someone who has been doing graphic design for about twenty years. He has a very good work attitude and is currently unemployed. However, he recently said that he will only take on freelance work and does not plan to work full-time."
Mingyan was puzzled and asked, "Why?"
Xia Cheng said, "I heard it was because of a conflict with the senior management of his previous company. He was supposed to receive stock options after ten years of service, but he was laid off just two months before that."
This... is a bit tragic.
Mingyan thought for a moment and said, "Could you please introduce him? Maybe I can persuade him to join."
Xia Cheng nodded, then looked at his location.
—Wait a minute, we've been driving for so long, and we're only two-thirds of the way there?
Xia Cheng frowned and said to the driver, "Old Li, what's going on? Why are you driving so slowly today?"
The driver was speechless with grievance.

Mingyan finally returned home.
Xia Cheng gave him the business card of the art designer, which bore the name "Varian Wrynn" (the name of the Alliance king in World of Warcraft, known as "King Varian").
"..."
Mingyan's eyes widened in an instant, and his mind became completely clear.
Xia Cheng asked suspiciously, "What's wrong? Do you know him before?"
“No, no,” Mingyan said, “I used to have a friend with the same name. What a coincidence.”
Xia Cheng shook his head and said, "The pronunciation-based naming method makes it very easy for people to have the same name. There are over 300 billion people... Hah."
Too.
Mingyan nodded: "Thank you for today. I'll treat you to dinner later."
Xia Cheng smiled enigmatically and said, "Let's skip the meal. Let's meet at the Survival Club another day."
Mingyan: "..." I haven't forgotten about that yet!
Mingyan returned home around 11 p.m.
His adoptive parents were already asleep, so Mingyan tiptoed up to the attic and returned to his room.
The most important thing—
Open your phone and check out the praise from the Jialian Evaluation Association... oh no, I mean, their evaluation report!
This report is nearly 800 words long, which can be considered a short essay.
The writing was very heartfelt, and the reviewer used exclamation marks several times to express their praise.
