Chapter 235 Yu Xiaochuan's Contest
```
"Shush, don't believe or spread rumors!" A plump young man at the neighboring table saw Gu Yu and the others looking over and quickly gestured to his companions.
The group immediately stopped talking and quietly continued eating their meal.
Gu Yu wanted to open his mouth to gossip and ask, after all, it had something to do with Mr. Liu.
But Mr. Liu stretched out his hand to interrupt him.
"It has nothing to do with me, let those people from Lianxiang do whatever they want!"
Mr. Liu's expression was very calm, showing no concern for the company he once managed.
"Okay," Gu Yu nodded.
Since Mr. Liu didn't want to listen, he wouldn't ask.
Actually, it made sense, since Mr. Liu had left Lianxiang so many years ago, he was completely out of touch with the company's situation.
Now he was living a good life with Mrs. Bai, there was no need to trouble himself further.
"Let's eat!"
Just then, the main courses were served one after another, and Mrs. Bai filled big bowls with food for both Gu Yu and Lin Xinyue.
...
The dinner was very enjoyable, but everyone clearly felt that Mr. Liu was talking significantly less.
Although Mr. Liu was a man of few words to begin with, today he was unusually quiet.
During the meal, Mr. Liu's phone kept ringing, and from the corner of his eye, Gu Yu saw the caller ID was Chen Tian.
But Mr. Liu didn't answer.
"Mr. Liu, aren't you going to answer the phone?" Gu Yu asked.
Mr. Liu shook his head: "I'm eating, I'll call back later."
"Oh," Gu Yu nodded, and didn't pry any further.
Lin Xinyue reached under the table and pinched Gu Yu's thigh gently, Gu Yu looked at her curiously, only to receive a glare.
He immediately understood her message, telling him not to interfere with Mr. Liu's matters.
Gu Yu also reached under the table and pinched her thigh back, indicating he understood.
Lin Xinyue's ears turned red at once, she hadn't expected Gu Yu to be so bold!
After shooting Gu Yu a glance, she lowered her head and quietly ate her meal.
...
While they were eating here,
across from their restaurant, at the Japanese restaurant, Yu Xiaochuan was also having a meal with his good buddy, Cai Hui.
"Xiao Chuan, you really have come into money lately! You usually treat me to street stalls, why are you so generous to take me out for Japanese food today?"
A sly smile spread across Cai Hui's chubby face.
Yu Xiaochuan quietly picked a piece of sushi from a plate and stuffed it into his already full bowl.
"Eat up! It's not every day I treat you to something so extravagant, and you talk so much!"
"It seems like next time I should just take you to a food stall!"
Yu Xiaochuan pursed his lips, his brother was all good except for his love to chatter.
Especially when it came to trash talk, he was unquestionably a pro.
After all, he was known to command an army of fifty thousand trolls!
Yu Xiaochuan picked up a thin slice of sashimi, dipped it in soy sauce with wasabi, and put it in his mouth, but before he could chew it twice, he spat it out with a disgusted look on his face.
"Ptooey... I really can't get used to eating these Japanese delicacies."
Seeing him dislike the sashimi, Cai Hui unceremoniously took the whole plate to himself.

Yu Xiaochuan didn't mind and started eating another dish of well-cooked eel while also asking about the main issue:
"Hey, Old Cai, what do I need to do to make this game's promotion as effective as possible?"
"Although Lao Chuan says the game's account now has quite a lot of fans, relying solely on Li station videos isn't enough to have a wide promotional effect!"
"I want at least to trend big time! You know, the kind of promotion that covers Dou Ying, the headlines, Li Bi, and several other sites all at once!"
"Can you make that happen?"
Yu Xiaochuan put down his chopsticks, stretching his neck with a look of anticipation as he watched and remembered Cai Hui.
"Pfft...cough cough cough..."
Upon hearing his buddy's goal, Cai Hui barely managed to swallow the sashimi in his mouth and spat it out.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
He looked at Yu Xiaochuan with one eye bigger than the other, as if he were looking at a lunatic.
Reluctantly putting down his chopsticks, he stared straight into Yu Xiaochuan's eyes and said, "Bro, do you have any idea that the kind of promotional effect you want can't be achieved solely with my army of fake accounts."
"It's a deep game, one you and I can't handle. Not to mention connections, just talking about burning money, the effect you want can't be achieved without burning tens to hundreds of millions!"
"What I can do is help you spam post and top the charts on some platforms with relatively backward supervision, like the current Guo Bar, Pi Pi Xia, and the like."
"The audits on these platforms are comparatively lax, so it's not easy for me to get banned for posting mass soft advertising."
"And bro, I only have fifty thousand fake accounts, fifty thousand!"
Cai Hui stretched out one hand and spread all five fingers, almost pressing them against Yu Xiaochuan's face.
If Yu Xiaochuan weren't his close brother, he would surely think that Yu Xiaochuan had lost his mind.
He was dreaming such an unrealistic dream.
If just the two of them, Yu Xiaochuan and he, Cai Hui, could achieve such widespread online promotion, what would be the need for those big companies' marketing departments?
They wouldn't have been scraping by in Modu for so many years.
It was precisely because they lacked the necessary capital that they couldn't achieve the desired effect!
"Here's the thing, brother, I know it's tough for you, but this time I really want to give it my all!"
Yu Xiaochuan looked very conflicted. He knew that every word his buddy said was true, and he also knew his goal was somewhat unrealistic.
But he really wanted to make this new Ideal Paradise game's promotion battle a big success, and hopefully pull off a spectacular feat!
Even if not that, at least surpass the promotional effect that Jingchuan Xiaoyu had when advertising for Life Restart Simulator.
One million new daily active users!
That was the terrifying promotional effect brought by fans numbering in the tens of millions, although it was also because the game itself was not bad.
He, Yu Xiaochuan, had a total of only a million fans. Even if he understood the principle that a long enough lever could move the Earth, the problem was that he didn't have a long enough lever!
So he had to find a different approach; conventional methods would definitely not win this unconventional competition.
By helping Gu Yu, he was also helping himself.
He saw the potential in Ideal Paradise and wanted to hitch a ride on this high-speed development opportunity.
This was the chance that the fortune-teller had predicted for him five years ago, the greatest opportunity of his life, which, if missed, would never come again.
Although Yu Xiaochuan wasn't superstitious, when he actually encountered such an opportunity, the signal in his heart was very strong.
Recently, when he slept at night, he would dream about Ideal Paradise becoming the top company in the gaming world.
He wasn't a part of Ideal Paradise, but he was a fan of it.
"Hui, let me show you something."
Yu Xiaochuan took out his phone, opened an app, found the page he needed, and pushed the phone towards Cai Hui.
Cai Hui looked puzzled, his gaze shifting from Yu Xiaochuan's face to the phone.
"A job posting?"
