Chapter 118

If he could stick around, he could become her right-hand man, just like Kelvin, the legendary assistant to Turner Group’s head, Bowen!

Aubree said without hesitation, “Of course we welcome them. These clubs have their own loyal fan bases. The fan retention for e-sports players is insanely high.”

“But…” She paused and then smiled. “If Apex Squad contacts us, reject them, no matter what they offer.”

Whether for personal reasons or business concerns, Apex Squad was off-limits.

With Killian joining their team and ongoing internal issues, Apex Squad was heading for a streak of defeats in the upcoming tournament. Public opinion would soon turn against them.

If they started streaming on Playzy during that storm, it would bring nothing but toxic energy to the platform. And personally, Aubree couldn’t stand Emery. There was no way she’d let him benefit from this.

“Got it, I understand,” Vincent nodded and rushed off to handle it.

He had no complaints about working overtime on such a promising project.

Playzy’s debut created massive buzz online. Other companies quickly sensed the opportunity, either looking to collaborate or rush out copycat products.

Aubree didn’t care. She was already preparing her next project, Zappy.

This app had even more potential than Playzy. In the previous timeline, it became a nationwide sensation and eventually went global.

No one could resist mindlessly scrolling on Zappy.

The next morning, when she woke up and saw the financial report from the accounting department, her smile was truly heartfelt.

The total revenue on the first day had surpassed two million dollars, and that was with many users still unfamiliar with the platform’s gifting features.

Playzy had already signed deals with several clubs. The next step was to secure the official partnership with the League of Legends game, ideally as the exclusive live broadcast platform. But that could wait.

For now, Aubree needed to continue boosting promotions, bringing in more celebrities, and cultivating grassroots stars to attract everyday users to start streaming and expand platform diversity.

A few days after launch, Playzy’s user traffic was still climbing daily. It had now claimed the top spot in the app store rankings.

Daily revenue had stabilized around seven million dollars. That number alone meant Aubree had already won. All that was left was refining and expanding the platform’s operations.

“Seven million dollars a day… that means we’ll break a hundred million dollars in the first month!”

“I still have 2% equity. Oh my god! This is insane! I never imagined I’d live to see this day!”

“Ms. Miller, I’ve gotten some offers from other tech companies trying to poach me.”

That comment was echoed by everyone in the core development team.

But before Aubree could respond, every one of them beat her to it. “Don’t worry, Ms. Miller. We’ll stick with you to the end!”

No other company could match what their shares were worth. The better Bree Technology did, the more they earned. Only a fool would jump ship just for higher salaries.

Aubree laughed. “Stick with me, and you’ll be well taken care of.”

Offering equity had motivated them to work overtime and also protected her team from being stolen by rivals.

It was still early days. If she lost her team now, it would all be over.

Aubree thought to herself, “Might as well pack it up and call it a day!”

With Playzy’s rising popularity, senior leadership at Turner Group had started to take notice.

At the first meeting Bowen attended after returning to Rithol City, someone brought it up.

“Mr. Turner, you have a great vision. Getting in on this project was a genius move.”

“Yes! If Bree Technology’s founder had picked someone else to partner with, we’d be left drooling on the sidelines.”

“Whoever runs Bree Technology is a real talent!”

No one hated making more money. Turner Group held a 30% stake in Bree Technology, which brought in significant cash flow.

Bowen listened to the compliments with great satisfaction. “Of course. She’s always been amazing.”

It had been a while since he last saw her. He wondered if she had lost or gained weight.

Her birthday was coming up soon. He still had a few more arrangements to finalize…
