“You could not divulge anything regarding your boss; you also don’t need to talk about specifics regarding compensation. You could use a very vague way to respond! Don’t worry; this interview is completely anonymous, and I will speed-write everything down instead of using any recording devices or video footage.”
Hu Yue seemed to be well-prepared as she took out her notebook and emptied her pockets to indicate she did not have any recording devices on her.
Ma Yiqun was a little stunned. “You’re a little too into your job, don’t you think? As for Tengda? It is but a normal game company; why must you do this interview?”
“It’s not!” Hu Yue replied seriously, “I am interviewing for the sake of the domestic game industry’s health and development prospects!”
Ma Yiqun was a little confused. “Ah? What do you mean?”
1Hu Yue’s eyes flashed as she said, “If this was an ordinary interview, I could just call it quits. However, Tengda is different! I want to interview Tengda not because of the royalties or remuneration; I hope to prove to the domestic game industry that this kind of good-hearted games company really does exist!”
“Before this, the domestic game industry had always been castigated by players for being rough and slipshod, that they are only thinking about making money via paywalls, lacking in creativity, etc. As a member of the games media, I am also distressed and disgusted by this but was powerless to do anything!
“However, Tengda’s appearance had made me discover a different type of company, one that is very particular about the quality of its games, bold in its creativity, not money-minded, and views games as art!
“I thought: the internal workings of Tengda must really be different from other companies as well! If I really could finish this interview, it would have a huge impact on the domestic games industry.
“I hope that Tengda could become a standard-bearer, a model that would guide the domestic games industry to a better tomorrow. I hope that all players who love domestically-produced games would continue to have faith in these games!”
Ma Yiqun grew silent. Originally, if Hu Yue had wanted to dig up some gossip and do a write-up with a sensational headline, Ma Yiqun would definitely reject her resolutely within hesitation. However, Hu Yue’s words had touched him.
If Tengda could become a model and on a certain level change the entire ethos of the domestic games industry, wouldn’t that be a good thing?
From this perspective, he should agree to this interview. However, Boss Pei had after all emphasized not to reveal his identity and anything regarding the company’s compensation packages.
He was in a dilemma.
Ma Yiqun thought for a moment, “How about this? You can leave me your contact details. Give me one day to think about this.”
“Alright.” Hu Yue knew that she could not rush this matter as she handed over her contact details to Ma Yiqun.

After thinking for a night, Ma Yiqun still could not make up his mind. He thought about it further and decided to ask for Bao Xu’s opinion when he reached the office. Although the interview was going to be anonymous, if this matter made Boss Pei unhappy, that would not be good; Ma Yiqun would feel guilty.
If he went to ask Boss Pei directly, that would be too abrupt. Bao Xu knew Boss Pei the best; asking for his opinion would be the right thing to do.
The morning of the next day, Ma Yiqun found Bao Xu and explained the matter to him simply. Bao Xu considered for a moment and said, “I think that you can agree to this interview.”
