Dream Game Company, in a large conference room.

Xu Zhi stood on the stage. Below the stage sat more than 20 middle-level and upper-level managers and leaders. Wang Kewen, the director of research and development was staring at the table. Ding Xiaomei, the director of operations was talking to He Wei, the director of planning.

Around the table also stood Huang Meng, the director of finance, and Zheng Quan, the marketing director.

Looking at the newly appointed president, they had stiff expressions on their faces, as if they were waiting to see a joke. After all, what they were most afraid of was having a random leader coming out of nowhere.

Xu Zhi could tell what everyone was thinking with just one glance.

He did not introduce himself. Instead, he said, “I know. Everyone is waiting to see me make a fool of myself. You are all waiting for me to mess things up and for me to withdraw from my position as the president of this company with my tail between my legs.”

At these words, the leaders did not dare to meet Xu Zhi’s gaze.

“I will say this… Since Zishu has entrusted me with the management of the company, I must be able to shoulder this responsibility. I hereby declare that I will not back down! I want to make the Dream Game Company a force to be reckoned with.”

After saying this, a few chuckles came from below the stage. However, Xu Zhi did not care. He did not expect others to accept him just because of what he said. He would prove himself with his results.

The best part was yet to come.

Xu Zhi was the leader of the gaming company, Tengda, in his previous life. He had his style of conducting meetings. He would not speak in riddles with his subordinates and would not deliberately hide anything. He liked to be straightforward.

Here, in Dream Game Company, it was no exception.

“As for this meeting today, I am not here to get acquainted with everyone! I am not here to discuss anything with everyone. I am here to announce something to everyone.”

After hearing Xu Zhi’s words, everyone below the stage looked at each other in dismay. They did not know what Xu Zhi was planning.

“I’m announcing that the company will stop research and development for Real Battlefield 2 immediately!”

“What?”

Wang Kewen, who was in charge of this project, suddenly stood up.

Although the others were still sitting in their seats, they all had shocked expressions on their faces.

“President Xu, you’re not joking with us, right?” Zheng Quan said in disbelief.

Xu Zhi did not say anything at this time. Instead, he looked at Wang Kewen, whose face was full of anger.

“President Xu,” Wang Kewen said with an angry expression, “it’s just your first day in office, and you’re making such a rash decision. Let me ask you, do you actually know the company? Do you know what this game represents to our company?”

“That’s right, President Xu. This is not you use your power as the company’s president,” He Wei also stood up and said.

Xu Zhi did not respond. Seeing this, Wang Kewen became more confident.

He looked at Xu Zhi and said, “President Xu, we absolutely can not stop developing this game. Our R&D department is already more than halfway through the development of this game. We are expected to be able to launch the open beta early next year. Moreover, I’m afraid that you do not know that the company has already invested nearly 100 million yuan in this game. If we were to follow your order and stop development, it will be a great loss to the company. Our company’s revenue is declining, and we urgently need this game to launch. Although President Qin made the decision to hand the company over to you, I personally suggest that you act carefully. It’s best to discuss everything with President Qin.”

Xu Zhi nodded and replied with a pleasant expression, “I understand what you’re saying, but I just said that I’m here to announce it. I’m not here to discuss it with everyone!”
