Xu Yichi put Lu Shinian's words over and over in his mind with a wooden face. It took him a long time to come up with the subtle idea.

Therefore, Xu Dazao, who had never really witnessed the "evil heart" before, was dumbfounded. Her face uncontrollably revealed the clear stupidity that was very consistent with her age, and she even looked a little dazed.

"Good, good fellow." Xu Yichi's eyes widened, "You, you are all so dark——"

"No, no, it's just normal. These are just routine operations, not that shady." Lan Xuesheng waved her hand and said lightly, lowering her head to take a sip of tea.

After more than two years of serious experience in the workplace, she is no longer the former Lan Xuesheng - she is now Niu Hulu Xuesheng (bushi)!
"Well, anyway, you don't have to worry about the problems at Lansheng, Xiao Xu." The woman who put down the teacup was still calm and composed. "They can't reach out... You just need to do your own game well."

"Regarding the contract issue, I've asked a lawyer to help draft a reliable contract these past two days. It will probably be delivered on Thursday or Friday of this week. I'm afraid you'll have to go to the music store again by then. Or you can give me an exact address and I'll go to you with the contract."

"Xiao Xu, what do you think would be more convenient for you?" Lan Xue said calmly, and after she finished speaking, she quietly waited for the little girl's reply.

The latter was initially confused by the huge scope of the topic and was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses.

She wanted to agree immediately and say that she would just come to the piano store again, but before she could utter a coherent sentence, she remembered what Bai Miaomiao and the others had told her before she left the house this morning.

So she swallowed the words silently, and then she clenched her sleeves and pondered for a while, until she had finished all the ideas in her mind, and then she dared to hum carefully: "Ms. Lan, how dare we trouble you to run so far? It would be better for us to come to the piano store to find you."

"But...Ms. Lan, I don't quite understand the specific process of signing a contract, and I'm not the one who's usually in charge of signing contracts in the studio."

"So... when you have the contract printed out, can I bring along the two people in charge of this aspect of our studio?"

"They don't trust me to sign these things myself..." Xu Yichi hummed sincerely, "I really don't understand it."

"Uh... Of course, there's no problem with that." Lan Xuesheng was stunned when she heard that. She knew that the newly graduated girl in front of her might not have much social experience, but she really didn't expect that this child could be so naive.

——She could have just said that she was not responsible for the contract signing. Why did she say so honestly that she didn’t quite understand the contract?
——If she met a partner with ill intentions... wouldn't that be like handing someone a knife and food?
Thinking of this, the woman's expression became indescribable. She stared at the somewhat silly girl opposite her, wanting to say something but stopping for a long time. In the end, she couldn't help but sigh and said to Xu Yichi earnestly, "But I have to say one more thing to you about this, Xiao Xu."

"Huh?" Xu Dazao tilted his head in confusion.

"Next time when you go out, don't tell people that you don't understand the specific process of signing a contract, and don't say that you don't quite understand the contract." Lan Xuesheng's expression was complicated.

"You just said that your studio has a clear division of labor, and you are only here to discuss the project, and you are not responsible for signing the contract - or you can just bring the person in charge of signing contracts with you."

"Saying that you can't understand the contract is equivalent to actively exposing your weaknesses... If you happen to meet a partner with a bad heart, you may be sold out and still be counting money for them foolishly." "Oh... yes, what you said makes a lot of sense." She couldn't refute it at all!
Xu Yichi realized this belatedly and scratched his head, smiling awkwardly, his face subconsciously putting on his signature flattering smile: "But it doesn't matter, Ms. Lan, you are my idol - I believe in your character, hehe!"

"Go away! Stop being so poor. I'm talking to you seriously." The woman cursed and laughed. She really had no way to deal with these kids nowadays - these kids were all sweet-talkers and better at talking than the other.

"Yes, yes, I'm listening." Xu Yichi nodded repeatedly, but Lan Xuesheng didn't see much regret on her face at all - this girl looked like her face was full of "I was wrong, but I'll do it again next time."

Seeing this, she stared at her for a while longer, and finally chose to give up.

——Forget it, when she was her age, she was almost as stupid as this. Wait for two years, and after experiencing more things, she will slowly get better.

This is not their focus today.

"Okay, I won't talk to you about this anymore, Xiao Xu, let's get down to business." Lan Xuesheng thought and sighed silently, then slowly put her hands on the back of the chair, "Have you thought about the promotion plan for tomorrow's game?"

"Or...regarding the promotion of your game, do you have any ideas or thoughts in mind right now?"

"Ah...? Promotion and marketing..." Xu Yichi was stunned by the question, "Promotion and marketing... shouldn't we wait until the game is finished and about to be launched before we start working on it?"

"Right now, our game has only just come out with the initial character design and outline... It seems, it seems that there is no need to rush to promote it... right?"

The little girl's voice became smaller and smaller as she spoke. She was confident when she said this at first, but gradually she became more and more uncertain.

After all, the stand-alone independent games they had made before didn't need any serious promotion and marketing because the gameplay was too simple, and as for the other skin-changing games that they received orders for... they only needed to submit finished products that would satisfy the client, and they didn't need to worry about promotion and marketing issues.

So actually... they really have no experience in publicity and promotion, and they don't know when is the best time to start publicity and promotion.

Xu Yichi scratched his hands with his fingers, and a trace of shame inadvertently appeared on his face. It seems that making a serious game is not as easy as they had imagined before - they were only concerned about how to make the game well, and they did not consider it comprehensively enough.

"Oh..." Looking at the little girl's expression, Lan Xuesheng guessed her previous thoughts and couldn't help but sigh. Then she stood up and walked to Xu Yichi, raised her paw and patted her dog head.

"Wake up, Xiao Xu. Serious game promotion should start at least from the moment your game can be listed on product pages on major game platforms."

"That is to say, you have to prepare the first version of promotional materials at least three to four months in advance... and from the time you put up the product page to the time your game is officially launched, you will have to promote it one or two more times!"

　I feel like now everyone (experienced people) is trying hard to teach Xiao Xu so that he can grow up quickly hahahahaha
