Transmigrating Into a Book, the Villain Becomes the White Moonlight!

98: Chapter 98 Give Me Your Supplementary CardLooking at it now, the strategy has been executed well; at the very least, within the core player circle, products from Su Corporation have become a gold-standard brand worth looking forward to.

Initially, Lin Wan didn’t have much interest in the gaming industry, viewing it merely as something Su Bai was doing out of personal interest.

It wasn’t until the first game led by Su Bai burst onto the scene—igniting the market with its ingenious gameplay, excellent balance, and imaginative worldview—that she realized how shallow her understanding of the word ”gaming” truly was.

It wasn’t just simple code for pastime; it was a vast, precise, emerging world brimming with creativity and commercial potential.

In just over two years, the gaming empire Su Bai built had long since transcended a single product.

From the most basic internet cafe promotional tournaments and online events to now investing in the construction of professional esports venues, organizing international competitions with high prize pools, bringing in major brand sponsorships, and designing a complete player community and welfare system...

Everything was interconnected with a clear logic.

Lin Wan gradually realized that what Su Bai had planned from the start was not just one or a few games, but a complete ecological industry chain centered on gaming products, radiating into tournaments, live streaming, merchandise, and communities.

In terms of profit alone, the cash flow brought in by the gaming department was practically ”easy money” compared to the traditional industries of the Lin Family that she was familiar with, which required painstaking management.

What surprised and even somewhat confused Lin Wan even more was that the core gameplay design and worldview architecture of all games released or under development originated almost entirely from directions or key creative documents provided by Su Bai himself.

He was like an inexhaustible treasure trove of inspiration, always coming up with ideas that seemed wildly imaginative yet logically consistent and incredibly fun upon closer inspection.

Sometimes, Lin Wan really wanted to ask him directly: How did you come up with these stunning designs?

Where did you get the inspiration?

From knowing very little at first to now being deeply involved in the company’s daily management and strategic direction, Lin Wan had developed her own unique insights and an increasingly clear understanding of the gaming industry.

This understanding also made her feelings much more complex than the ridiculous rumors outside when facing Su Bai, who was currently sitting in his boss’s chair looking seemingly nonchalant.

”You’re attending school while also having to manage things here; can you handle the workload?” Su Bai asked, leaning back against his chair, seemingly casual.

”Are you... concerned about me?” Lin Wan’s eyebrows arched slightly as her beautiful eyes looked up at him. A faint but genuine smile actually appeared on her normally cold face.

”I’m just asking,” Su Bai withdrew his gaze, maintaining his usual lazy tone. ”Just don’t delay the normal operations of my company.”

Sharp-tongued jerk.

Lin Wan commented silently in her heart, but she didn’t show it. She answered seriously, ”The schedule for my major’s courses isn’t that packed. I come to the company to handle affairs about once a week, unless there’s a special situation that needs urgent attention.”

”Special situation?” Su Bai’s pen paused.

”For example, at the end of last year, a leak occurred in R&D Department Two regarding an unreleased game prototype,” Lin Wan stated calmly. However, upon closer listening, her voice seemed to carry a hint of complaining or... acting spoiled. ”I got a call in the middle of the night and took a taxi straight from the dorms. I barely even had time to put on a coat.”

A leak of core industry secrets usually meant there was an internal issue.

Su Bai had heard his father mention it while he was abroad and knew the matter was eventually resolved properly, but he didn’t know the specific details.

”I know it was handled. Did you find the problem?” he asked.

”Yes, I found it. It was a young programmer who had just joined the company. His motive wasn’t complicated; he just got drunk at a gathering with friends and, to show off, took a few photos of the conceptual designs with his phone and sent them out.”

Lin Wan explained.

”He was terrified afterward. According to convention and his contract, he couldn’t afford the compensation even if he went bankrupt. However, after Uncle Su found out, he said talent is hard to come by and it’s natural for young people to make mistakes. He had him sign a stricter non-disclosure agreement and kept him in the project team without pursuing legal action.”

She spoke nonchalantly, but Su Bai understood that being able to quickly lock onto a target from a massive amount of data and personnel, control the situation, and provide a follow-up suggestion that even his father approved of—the effort and ability Lin Wan demonstrated behind the scenes were far from simple.

”Why do I feel...” Su Bai looked up, his gaze probing as it fell on Lin Wan’s face again, ”like you’re fishing for credit with everything you’re saying?”

”I am fishing for credit,” Lin Wan met his gaze, answering candidly and directly, even tilting her chin up slightly. ”Did I not make myself clear? I rushed over in the middle of the night and caught a cold the next day. My head hurt for days.”

”Oh,” Su Bai nodded as if understanding, then said in a business-like tone, ”Then should I give you a raise? Consider it overtime pay and... medical subsidy?”

”Sure,” the curve of Lin Wan’s lips deepened, her eyes sparkling with a hint of cunning and calculation. She leaned forward slightly and lowered her voice.

”But, Young Master Su, isn’t just a raise a bit beneath the Su Family’s style? How about... you give me one of your Supplementary Cards? Let me experience the feeling of spending freely. That would be more fitting for the status and treatment of your future... well, partner, right?”

”You want to control my money?” Su Bai finally caught on. Looking at the light sparkling in Lin Wan’s clear eyes, it dawned on him.

No wonder she insisted on dragging him to the company for an inspection this afternoon; her real goal was waiting right here.

That was quite a roundabout way of getting there.

”What do you mean ’control’? That sounds so unpleasant.” Lin Wan tilted her head slightly, her face showing a perfectly timed, big-picture kind of helplessness.

”Think about it. If I have your card, wouldn’t it make our... relationship look closer and more stable in front of Auntie and Uncle later? They’d be more at ease seeing that, wouldn’t they?” The reason she gave sounded perfectly reasonable, even carrying a touch of consideration for him and their families’ relationship.

”I don’t have a Supplementary Card,” Su Bai fell silent for a few seconds and shook his head. However, unexpectedly, he didn’t refuse directly but instead presented a seemingly objective obstacle.

”I only have one Primary Card for myself.”

This attitude was less of a refusal and more of a statement that left some room for maneuver.

”That’s perfect then,” Lin Wan immediately followed up, her speech light and quick as if she had a plan ready.

”The Primary Card is even more convenient. Just link it to my mobile payment, how about that?” She looked at Su Bai with burning eyes, her obsession with this card exceptionally clear.

Su Bai looked up, his gaze lingering for a moment on Lin Wan’s face, which was full of ”reasonableness.”

He felt... like something wasn’t quite right.
