Ash had just arrived at Funtime Games early in the morning when she received bad news.
“When did it happen? Did we infringe on the copyright or not?” Ash’s expression darkened. The company’s current situation was already bad. This morning, she was told that the only profitable game had been taken off the platform.
The person in charge of the game lowered his head. He got choked to speechless by Ash’s aura. He groaned for long before saying, “Ms. Turner, I don’t think so. This game has been on the market for almost half a year. Nothing has happened before.”
“Does the fact that nothing happened before mean it’s safe now? Email me all the safety test reports you did before. Also, you must verify if we have violated the law soon.
“The official website will immediately announce to the public that we are making adjustments. We will verify the relevant rumors and give everyone an explanation.” Ash coldly glanced at the person in charge in front of her.
He looked at least in his forties, but his ability to deal with emergencies was too poor.
The person in charge started to sweat and couldn’t help but swallow. “Got it, Ms. Turner. I’ll get the public relations department to handle it.
“As for the server logged off by the platform, how do you think we should deal with the losses on our side?”
Ash rarely lost her temper with her subordinates at work because she always thought flaring up wouldn’t help, and it was also disrespectful.
But at that moment, she really couldn’t take it anymore. “How did you get into the company back then? What do you want me to do about the losses? Have you been leading the team from developing this game to going online?
“I’m sure the answer is no. If you were the one who led this team from the start, you would have answered my question when I asked you if there was an infringement.”
The person in charge was more sweaty on his forehead. “Ms. Turner, it’s not like that. Although I joined the company not long ago, I’ve also known this project well enough.”
“Alright, then let me ask you. What was the GMV of this game in the last quarter?” Ash clenched her fists slightly, her voice cold and low.
The person in charge was at a loss for words. He stammered for a long time, indicating he needed to ask the finance department. He didn’t know much about it.
Ash finally knew how Funtime Games had declined step by step. It turned out everyone entered the company through connections, not abilities.
Ash instructed coldly, “You can leave. Handle it well. I need all the plan schemes and the plans for the testing period before lunch break today. You’ll contact the public relations department yourself.”
When the person in charge heard it, he felt relieved and left quickly.
Ash entered the office, turned on her computer, and opened her email. Other than the emails from Vanessa, there was nothing else. She was so angry that she wanted to laugh.
At the end of that day’s meeting, she emphasized that all the project managers needed to give her the plans for the present stage. It had been days, but no one had sent her anything.
She pinched the space between her eyebrows and opened the group chat for work. After thinking about it, she said nothing in the end. She only called the company’s HR director over.

Ash looked at the messy documents on the desk. They were all negative amounts. She sighed imperceptibly. “Now, recruit another team for me.”
“It doesn’t matter that the employees are young as long as they are interested in the Triple–A Game. But they must be down- to–earth. If they have a solid resume, offer them the best salaries in the industry.”
The HR director clicked her tongue and thought, “The company’s financial situation can’t be worse now. It isn’t a wise move to spend a large sum to build a new team.
Ash looked up with a cold and indifferent expression. “Any other questions?”
“Here’s the thing, Ms. Turner. Maybe… the company’s funds can’t keep up. The HR director thought about it and expressed her point of view. “I think the board of directors won’t agree to build a team now.”
Although the HR director knew Ash’s identity, she believed the headquarters would not let Ash do whatever she wanted.
Ash’s voice was low and hoarse. She was not in a good mood. “I’ll be responsible for this. You only need to help me build a team.”
“Okay, Ms. Turner, The HR director knew she shouldn’t say anything else at this point. She agreed gently and left the office.
Not long after the HR director left the office, a few assistants in the CEO’s office swarmed over. “Maida, what did Ms. Turner say? What did Ms. Turner mean?”
Originally, there were as many as fifteen assistants in the CEO’s office during Funtime Games’s prosperous period. Later on, the company’s economy was not good, so only four were left.
The assistants did not know much about Ash. It would be difficult for them to do their jobs if they could not understand their boss’s mind. No one wanted to cross with their new boss.
Maida waved her hand and placed one hand on her waist. She looked a little miserable. “Don’t mention it. Our big boss is requesting to build a new team and going to do Triple–A Game.”
“Triple–A Game?” The assistants shouted in unison, their voices filled with doubt.
Maida nodded calmly. As expected, such a reaction was something normal. It was abnormal to take it lightly, as Ash did.
Maida felt a headache coming on. “This task is the first job assessment Ash has given me after taking office. If I failed to build the team well, would I be able to keep my job?”
Vanessa passed behind the group of people. Everyone was in a heated discussion and did not notice her walking past them. Vanessa walked straight to Ash’s office.
As soon as she pushed the door open and entered, she saw Ash flipping through the documents with a serious expression. Vanessa asked, “Ms. Turner, have you decided on the Triple–A Game?”
Ash said, “Yeah, the Snider Group will take the lead, and we’ll support them. We won’t lose out because the two companies will go fifty–fifty on the profits. However, we have to support them well. This is a golden opportunity.”
Ash had just finished reading the financial statements for the last quarter. It was surprising that the Turner Group had not announced the bankruptcy of Funtime Games. Funtime Games earned no profit the previous year, but the employees‘ salaries were up to almost two million dollars.
“Why do they want to work with us? They can call for bids if they want a partner.” Vanessa doubted, thinking there must be a good reason for such a big company to work with Funtime Games, which was on the verge of bankruptcy.
Ash was silent for a moment before looking out of the window. “Because he’s my fiance. It should be reasonable for him to do me a favor.”

Vanessa seemed to have unintentionally heard some breaking news. She silently shut her mouth and nodded quietly.
Ash originally wanted to find other reasons, but a lie had to be covered up with countless lies. She didn’t have the mood to
Ash said, “That’s the general situation. Next Monday, we will meet and talk about our current goals. I have an idea that I want to share. I’ll perfect the plan”
‘Ms. Turner only gives me two months Vanessa thought, I must do my job perfectly well‘
