The two of them looked at each other and smiled. Everything was said without saying anything.
You know what I want to say, but you also know that I can't say it. I know you know that I can't say it, so let's not say it …
Yan Qi thought about it carefully and felt that it was normal for Xia Jiang to guess it. It would be a problem if she couldn't.
That was because not only was she very smart, but she had also been to Tengda and the incubation base!
She had been to the scene to investigate and had chatted with the person-in-charge. She had a good grasp of many details and naturally could find many details.
Most people online had never been to Tengda or seen Boss Pei. They did not know how Tengda operated internally and could not see the connection between Tengda Corporation and the incubation base.
Thus, they were just guesses and could not form concrete evidence.
Since that was the case, he would continue to keep it a secret according to Boss Pei's requirements!
"Alright, let's begin the interview."
The equipment had been adjusted. Xia Jiang smiled and asked the first question. "You should have made a mobile game called Blade of the Empire previously. Why did you make the decision to change from mobile games to action 3A masterpieces?"
"What was the source of inspiration for Mili?"
Yan Qi: "Er …"
He had thought he was prepared, but now he realized that he was not.
That was because these two questions were actually the same question, and they were directly related to Boss Pei!
Yan Qi had wanted to make an action standalone game, Dream Realization, because he had made money from mobile games and was encouraged by Tengda and Morning Dew Games Platform. However, he had no idea how to make this game.
Li Yada was the one who explained to him how Tengda Games was developing games and pointed him in the right direction. That was how the prototype of Mili came about.
In other words, the inspiration for this game should be Boss Pei!
However, wouldn't he be exposing the relationship between the Mili project team and Boss Pei if he told the truth?
Yan Qi hummed and said, "Well, actually, I've always been a loyal gamer of action games. I've always had a dream of making an action game. On one hand, the Mili project is because of my accumulation and passion for action games. On the other hand, it's because I was inspired by the outside world …"
He did not have a good solution because Xia Jiang was asking some conventional questions. However, the truth was that the birth of Mili was related to Tengda!
Therefore, even if it was a serious answer, it would naturally reveal some things.
Of course, it would be easy if Boss Pei had not requested it. Yan Qi only had to tell the truth and openly reveal the relationship between Mili and Tengda. However, since Boss Pei had asked him to keep it a secret, he could only be picky and vague.
He had thought that Xia Jiang would be very dissatisfied with his answer. After all, if he didn't say anything, what was the point of the interview?
However, Xia Jiang was not angry. Instead, there was a faint smile on her face.
"It's alright, I understand!"
"It's not the first time I've encountered such a situation. I'm very familiar with it."
"Not to mention, my blank interview is specially prepared for this kind of situation."
"Don't worry, I'm a professional reporter. I'll polish the interview content when I get back. I'll definitely achieve the best results."
"All you need to do is listen to the voice in your heart and say everything that needs to be said."
"Then … next question."
"It has been confirmed that Mili will be exclusive to Morning Dew Gaming Platform. What do you think of Morning Dew Gaming Platform?"
"Rumor has it that the game 'Mili' requires a huge amount of funds. They're worried that you'll cut out the game's content or release it in installments because of funding and cost-performance issues. May I know how you'll deal with this problem during development?"
…
Xia Jiang asked the questions seriously, and Yan Qi answered them seriously.
However, in the process of answering, he naturally touched on some issues related to Tengda.
Regarding this, Yan Qi had no choice but to be vague and skip over it.
However, the good thing was that apart from questions related to Tengda, there were other things that he could talk about. For example, Morning Dew Gaming Platform.
Yan Qi and Morning Dew Gaming Platform had been working together for a long time. Yan Qi had joined the platform not long after it was established. Whether it was to find bugs or publish games, he had built a very deep friendship with the platform.
Even Li Yada from the platform was the one who facilitated the creation of the game, as well as the matchmaking with Dream Realization Ventures.
Yan Qi was full of praise for Morning Dew Gaming Platform's operations. At the same time, he emphasized that Mili had ample funds. They wouldn't cut the game's content because of the lack of funds. So, he asked everyone not to worry. The project would be developed smoothly and in its entirety.
The two of them exchanged questions and answers. Two hours passed in the blink of an eye.
Xia Jiang looked at the contents of the sketchbook and nodded in satisfaction. "Alright, that's all for today's interview. Thank you for your cooperation. I have all the content I want. Next, I have to rush the draft so that this piece of news can be presented to everyone as soon as possible! "
Yan Qi heaved a sigh of relief. He felt his entire body relax.
Xia Jiang seemed to be beating around the bush during the interview. What's more, some of her questions inevitably involved Tengda. However, Yan Qi remained extremely tense. He did not reveal the relationship between the Mili project team and Tengda Corporation.
Some of the content was vague, and he tried his best to use Morning Dew Gaming Platform as a shield for other content.
After all, Tengda was the one who invested in me. Morning Dew Gaming Platform was just a partner. What was there to hide?
Boss Pei had said that he could not reveal Tengda's investment in Mili. In other words, he could reveal everything else, right?
What's more, this was a good opportunity to show his face on an official platform. There was no reason for him to hide it.
However, for the sake of stability, Yan Qi asked, "Chief Editor Xia, there are some things in this interview that I can't reveal. These … shouldn't affect you, right?"
Xia Jiang nodded immediately. "They won't!
Don't worry, I'm a professional reporter. What's more, I've seen this scene many times.
"I have a feeling that once this article is published, it will definitely go viral!"
Yan Qi nodded.
Since Chief Editor Xia had guaranteed it, there should be no problem.
"Alright, Chief Editor Xia, thank you for your hard work. I'll wait patiently for the draft!"
…
Back at the hotel, Xia Jiang quickly sorted out the contents of today's interview.
Although there was no need to rush such things and it would be fine to publish the draft in a few days, Xia Jiang was very anxious.
On one hand, she could already see a familiar shadow in Yan Qi's answers: a dark thread!
Just like when she interviewed Tengda Corporation, there was a dark thread in the interview: Boss Pei's support and help for the entire Tengda Corporation.
If she did not realize this dark thread, then the entire interview would seem to be missing something. However, if this dark thread appeared, then everything would be strung together in an instant!
Obviously, there was a dark thread in the words that Yan Qi heard in this interview.
The person who influenced him to make up his mind to produce Mili and the person who invested in him were all hidden in this dark thread!
Then, she thought about Qiu Hong's interview with the Destitution Plan …
This made Xia Jiang 99.99% sure that this dark thread was Boss Pei!
On the other hand, Xia Jiang also noticed that the game industry was now taking sides against Mili and Tengda. Some companies and even some game industry insiders were trying to smear Tengda.
Xia Jiang was, of course, filled with righteous indignation.
Boss Pei was such a good person, and yet people were slandering him? It was so dirty!
However, the official platform had to stand in an objective and neutral position after all. Even if Tengda had contributed a lot to the domestically-produced games industry, the official platform could not directly take Tengda's side. That would not be good.
After all, the official platform had to be relatively restrained. They could encourage and praise, but they could not directly take sides. That would cause chaos.
Therefore, as the chief editor, Xia Jiang naturally could not go too far on this matter. Personal emotions and work had to be separated.
She could only do her best to do the content of these reports well. She could try her best to use her own clear analysis and logical reasoning to guide everyone to the truth and stand on the right side.
"So, are we still going to use blank space to write this article?"
"Hmm … it's safe, but the problem is that this method has been used several times. It's not new at all. What's more, with the situation that Tengda is facing now, a blank report might not be able to help. "
"I really want to hit the nail on the head!"
"The Destitution Plan, the independent games incubation base, and the Mili project team were all funded by Boss Pei. Even the Morning Dew Games Platform is very suspicious, but they all refuse to admit it!"
"The Destitution Plan supported domestically-produced independent games, the Mili project supported domestically-produced outstanding standalone 3A masterpieces, and the Morning Dew Games Platform supported a positive game platform. On the other hand, Tengda itself is constantly releasing outstanding games. "
"Boss Pei's support and help for the entire domestically-produced games industry is obviously all-round and sparing no effort. What's more, Boss Pei is so low-key and unknown. He doesn't want others to know."
"Such a conscientious company is actually being continuously slandered. How infuriating!"
"Is there any way to directly prove the relationship between these three and Tengda …"
Xia Jiang frowned. She felt that she was only one step away.
She had all the previous interviews and the material this time. Tengda's entire layout was basically clear, but the only problem was that she could not prove it!
How could she prove the relationship between Tengda and them if these people refused to admit it even if they were beaten to death?
Xia Jiang paced back and forth. Suddenly, her eyes lit up.
"Eh? I got it! "
"If I remember correctly, a national corporate credit information publicity system was just released in February this year!"
"If it's a company related to Tengda … I should be able to find some clues on this system!"
