Chapter 89: Chapter 88: The First Opponent of Ideal Paradise

After sending the game installation package and related information to Jiang Yuxin, Gu Yu was just about to put down his phone when Ma Tengyun sent another message.

Ma Tengyun, "Yu, I found it! This is the information about Bi Jian you mentioned; I've managed to find pretty much everything."

[Link: Bi Jian Information.doc/Online Download (10.2M)]

"Thanks! /Fist and palm salute"

Gu Yu clicked on the link and a few seconds later, the file finished downloading and the built-in document reader of the messaging app opened.

What caught his eye was a template that resembled a personal resume.

Bi Jian, 22 years old, male, from XXX in the Jianye District of Jinling City, graduated from Jinling City First Middle School, scored 413 points on the Sujiang Province college entrance exam and was admitted to Haidong University in the Computer Application Technology major...

Gu Yu briefly scanned through the information in the text bar, it was incredibly detailed!

It even included where Bi Jian's family lived, his high school, and even his college entrance exam score—all clear!

But this basic information wasn't what he was concerned about; he was interested in Bi Jian's current career development.

Because he knew Bi Jian had started a company.

Continuing to read, the next section was about Bi Jian's love life.

After all, dating is quite private, and it's generally not disclosed.

Hence, the document only provided an estimate of Bi Jian's university relationships: 15+ (current girlfriend Du Fei, ambiguous relationship with Shu Yinyin).

From his time at Haidong until this third year, Bi Jian had already been in no less than fifteen relationships!

No wonder Bi Jian was nicknamed 'Haidong's number one scumbag;' on average, it took less than two months to change girlfriends! Explore more stories with m,v l'e-NovelFire.net

And on top of that, he was still looking elsewhere while having someone already—If that's not scummy, what is?

Gu Yu sighed and skipped over Bi Jian's educational background to continue reading about his career history.

Under the career history section, there was a dense list of information.

Skipping past the initial experiences of running a print shop and a snack shop, his gaze was immediately drawn to the name of Bi Jian's current company!

Sword Barrier Network Technology Co., Ltd.!

That Sword Barrier, why does it feel so familiar?

Gu Yu furrowed his brows and tried to remember, quickly switching the phone interface to the Shengda Game app. Sure enough, he found that game on today's new game recommendation page—Simulating Billionaire!

Game developer: Sword Barrier Network!

He had previously felt that the company's name sounded phonetically reverse of Bi Jian's name!

Now he saw that the game was indeed developed by Bi Jian's company!

A cold glint flashed in Gu Yu's eyes; he hadn't expected to discover a product related to Bi Jian's company in such a coincidental manner.

Suppressing the urge within him to give "Simulating Billionaire" a one-star bad review, Gu Yu continued reading.

After all, however he reviewed it, that wouldn't greatly impact the sales of the game!

In just half a day, the downloads for "Simulating Billionaire" had already exceeded ten thousand, while his Life Restart Simulator was hard-pressed to reach six thousand downloads.

The influence of the platform's audience was simply too significant!

Further down the document was the information about Bi Jian's company, but the more he read, the more something seemed off.

Because the official members of Sword Barrier Network Technology Co., Ltd., were only five people, with Bi Jian being the major shareholder holding 80%, and the other two shareholders each holding 10%, and then one technical manager and one marketing manager.

This company structure was simply too simplistic, wasn't it?

Could it be that the "Simulating Billionaire" game was developed by just a few shareholders and managers?

That was obviously not possible!

Sword Barrier Network had been developing for almost two years; it couldn't be without regular employees!

With suspicion in his heart, Gu Yu scrolled down.

When he saw the actual composition of Sword Barrier Network's members, a surge of anger burst forth in his heart.

"Damn! They really bleed people dry, don't they!"

Gu Yu looked at the member distribution, and his left fist forcefully pounded on the table with a loud "bang".

Qin Shan, who was playing League, turned his head to glance at Gu Yu and said without a second thought,

"What's wrong, Laosi? If the opponent is sucking blood fiercely, just get a Sanction Blade!"

"..."

Gu Yu gave him a speechless look and curled his lips, "I'm not playing Glory; you play your League."

"Damn! Gai Lun and Zhao Xin ambushing together in the bush is just disgusting! I'm done for!"

Upon hearing Gu Yu say that, Qin Shan quickly turned back, just in time to see a big sword plunging directly onto his critically low-health Camille, turning the screen black and entering a fifty-second respawn cooldown.

He let go of the mouse and shifted his gaming chair back, sitting next to Gu Yu.

"What are you looking at that's making you so angry?"

As he massaged Gu Yu's shoulders to help him cool off, he leaned over to peek at the document on Gu Yu's phone.

Sword Barrier Network Technology Co., Ltd., five official members, 21 employees without signed labor contracts, service contracts, or tripartite agreements!

And yet, these employees without normal labor relations had clear roles from development managers to development team leaders, forming a complete development team.

Unfortunately, they had no standard income, not even set standard working hours!

Everything depended on Bi Jian's orders; if he said work overtime, they had to work overtime, earning a meager work subsidy through labor!

Qin Shan originally thought that 996 was already a severe exploitation, but these people were practically working 9127!

From nine in the morning to ten at night, seven days a week!

And the subsidy? A pitiful three to four thousand yuan, and that was only with additional subsidies for successfully completed projects!

To call Bi Jian a capitalist was even an elevation for him; he was outright a heartless vampire!

He could hardly believe that such a person was just an undergraduate student! Searᴄh the novёlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

If Bi Jian were to graduate and become a big boss, wouldn't his exploitation become even more ruthless?

Outrageously off the mark!

"Damn! Does this guy even have a conscience?"

Qin Shan was so furious he couldn't even focus on the game.

He clicked the mouse agitatedly as Camille on the screen chased after the critically low-health Gai Lun with ferocity.

After catching up, it was a fierce kick, as if that Gai Lun was the damned Bi Jian.

Gu Yu's expression was also grim, not because he was overly empathetic, but simply because he found Bi Jian's behavior utterly repulsive.

According to the information, Bi Jian's Sword Barrier Network had an annual revenue of at least three million yuan.

Yet Bi Jian paid these fellow students salaries as low as he possibly could!

The critical part was that he picked people who were from impoverished backgrounds, several of whom were classmates Gu Yu recognized.

They had all worked together at the Student Affairs Office.

Most of these individuals came from poor family backgrounds, much like Gu Yu himself did in his university days, relying on sporadic part-time jobs to earn fees for schooling and living expenses.

Some of them Gu Yu hadn't seen since they worked at the Student Affairs Office for a while.

At the time, he thought they had found new gigs outside the school!

Now it seemed they were all hoodwinked into becoming cheap labor for Bi Jian!

"Sword Barrier Network, very well! Bi Jian, now I've got my eye on you."

Gu Yu looked at Bi Jian's photo on his phone, a burning rage swelling in his chest.

Just then, Boss Pu and Laoer came in through the door, having just returned from the cafeteria with their meals.

Gu Yu stood up, patted Qin Shan's chair, and, looking seriously at Boss and Laoer, said,

"Brothers, I think our Ideal Paradise has encountered its first rival."
