Studios were based on the internet and operated in the game, so they were most used to communicating online. Employees usually came from all over the world, so they might not be in the same place. It was one of the specialties of studios to gather and become colleagues through the internet.
Although Image was the biggest studio in the industry, it wasn't an exception. They did have core members working in the same place, but there were more colleagues who relied on the internet to communicate. Especially after the parallel world was fully simulated, everyone found a place in the game to close the door and sit down. It was exactly the same as talking face to face. The boss of the studio was very grateful for this great game. After all, face-to-face communication was more convenient for management. However, if he forced everyone to gather together from different places, it would increase his expenses greatly. Now, it was better to have a room in the game, which was cheaper than renting a toilet in an office building. Since the online game entered the era of the parallel world, the boss who had considered further formalizing the studio and working with everyone in a clean and bright environment temporarily gave up on this idea. Anyway, he had always been used to this model, and he continued to carry on …
Image Studio was currently having their weekly meeting with the directors of each division. There were a total of twenty people. The company paid for the teleportation scroll, and this time, the meeting was held in Moonlit Night City.
"Five Nights, tell us!" Image Studio's base in Moonlit Night City was rather simple, and Moonlit Night City was in chaos. As the host, Five Nights didn't have time to prepare, so the elites of Image Studio could only sit on the ground. The only chair was for their boss, but it was too awkward for one person to sit on it, so the boss sat cross-legged on the ground. The one speaking was Image Studio's boss. Of course, he had an account in the game, and his ID was very arrogant, Unparalleled Wonder.
Unparalleled Wonder used to be an avid gamer, but as he grew older, his interest in games slowly faded. However, his years of immersion in the game didn't go to waste, and he used all of it to create a studio. Image Studio was led by him from a young age. Now that the business was on the right track, Image Studio was like a steady machine, moving forward steadily. Unparalleled Wonder led his team into the parallel world, and everything went smoothly. Their business didn't change because of the game mode, after all, it was still an online game.
On the other hand, Matchless Wonder was interested in the new game mode. All of Ying Qi's employees who were able to communicate with the boss realized that the boss appeared quite frequently in the game, but everyone knew that the boss was playing most of the time! As the boss of one of the largest gaming studios in the industry, Matchless Wonder's equipment was extraordinary. His level was not low either, at Level 42. He could be considered a top-tier player. As for the standard … According to the gaming expert in Age Studio, after watching the boss's game, he only said one sentence: "Thank god he has that equipment."
Ying Qi's weekly meeting wasn't supposed to be today, but because of the commotion in Moonlit Night City, it was brought forward. Workshops were very happy to see players fighting and killing each other. However, Moonlit City was filled with people yelling for Fancy Workshop's death. This wasn't something Workshops liked. At the end of the day, they were in the service industry, and the players were their customers and God. Now that God was holding a knife and killing them on sight, what else could they hope to sell to them?
Matchless Wonder was extremely displeased that this had happened, but he didn't show it on his face. Instead, he smiled and asked Five Nights to explain the situation.
Five Nights was the one who arranged the leveling efficiency, and he knew that the boss was already displeased with him once. Although he was smiling, everyone present knew that the boss always smiled to understand the situation, and then smiled sinisterly before deducting your salary. Five Nights didn't dare to delay and told the boss about the operation he had planned. He emphasized the importance of confidentiality, saying that he specifically told the people who pulled the strings to not reveal Age Studio's identity. As for how the other party still managed to catch them, Five Nights expressed his confusion.
"There's no such thing as an airtight wall. How could such a big operation not be leaked? The problem is that you have to do it. Now that you haven't done it, and you're covered in sh * t, what do you think we should do? Will we still have business in Moonlit Night City in the future? " Matchless Wonder didn't discuss with Five Nights how to let people know, he only asked what they should do now.
If Five Nights hadn't considered this problem, then he wouldn't have been able to climb to the position of a director. When he heard the boss ask, he immediately gave the answer he had prepared: "With our status in the studio, it's impossible for us to take the initiative to go against them."
"Nonsense." Matchless Wonder said. The studio was here to make money, and harmony was the only way to make money.
"Therefore, the most important thing now is to spread rumors among the players, and let them know that the fight with the studio was actually a misunderstanding, and that someone was trying to frame them. I believe that even now, the majority of the players are still confused as to why they suddenly want to kill Age Studio. The earlier we do it, the easier it will be for us to guide the players' opinions. Then, we can do a round of discount sales, and further win over the hearts of the people. I believe that the players will eventually soften. After a long time, it will be over. "Five Nights spoke clearly and logically.
Matchless Wonder nodded, he agreed with what Five Nights said. Right now, it was difficult to change the minds of the players. They could only give them candy, and rely on time to slowly make them forget about it.
"Since you already have an idea, are you already doing it?" Matchless Wonder asked.
"I'm doing it. Our registered players in Moonlit Night City have all been mobilized, and each of them have been given a detailed lesson on how to spread this kind of rumors." Five Nights said.
"Oh, you've done it quite carefully this time." Matchless Wonder said.
Five Nights didn't dare make a sound. To be so smug at a time like this, water must have gone into his brain.
"However, it's only after the fact. Just the discount sales you mentioned will cost us quite a bit, and this can all be avoided. "Matchless Wonder said.
"Yes, yes, yes …" Five Nights nodded, he knew that Fiendish Smile was coming.
"Efficient leveling method, monopolizing the city rewards, and failing to do it twice, the losses are incalculable."
"It's my responsibility." Five Nights said.
"I'll notify the finance department." Matchless Wonder was still smiling. Actually, his smile wasn't any different, but every time the employees heard this sentence, they would treat it as "Fiendish Smile".
Five Nights knew exactly how much he had been fined, but Matchless Wonder would never say it in front of everyone. The finance department would naturally contact Five Nights afterwards. Five Nights sighed. If he really counted the profits from the Efficient leveling method and monopolizing the city as losses, he wouldn't be able to make up for it even if he died. However, it was business, of course there were some that could be won, and some that couldn't.
"Moonlit Night City's discount sales should be a bit more intense. Especially when I came over, I saw that they were killing quite fiercely. The loss of equipment will definitely be quite severe, so let's transfer some to Moonlit Night City! Oh, right, where's the person in charge of Moonlit Night City? " Matchless Wonder suddenly remembered. Everyone here was a director, and each of them was in charge of several cities. Their subordinates were usually the people in charge of each city. The people in charge of each city didn't attend the meeting, but there was an exception, and that was the main city where the meeting was being held. The person in charge of that city obviously had to attend the meeting, serve tea and water, arrange for the main city's specialty food and drinks, and if there were any special tourist attractions, etc. Corruption was everywhere.
"He's still the guild leader of this city in name, and he's also participating in the battle, so it won't be easy for him to leave." Five Nights explained.
"It's not that I don't approve of this type of management, but we need to be more cautious and clean. Not only did Five Nights fail, but he also made himself dirty. This is definitely not good, so everyone needs to learn from this. " Matchless Wonder took the opportunity to preach. This kind of preaching was sometimes a pleasure for those in power, especially when the people below him nodded in agreement after he finished speaking. It was really pleasing.
Although it was the same today, Matchless Wonder felt that the people in today's meeting were a bit absent-minded, especially when he was discussing with Five Nights. Not a single person interrupted. This was a good opportunity to kick someone when they were down! Matchless Wonder also knew that his subordinates couldn't be united like a family. There were many who disliked each other, and there were many who competed with each other. Today, they actually listened to Five Nights' explanation in a friendly manner, and didn't hear a single word of sarcasm. This was really strange.
Matchless Wonder was a bit confused, but he still had to continue the meeting, so he said, "Alright, let's end the discussion about Moonlit Night City here. Let's talk about the other cities!" Of course, the meeting didn't only talk about Moonlit Night City, but it was the most important thing. In fact, there was another reason why the meeting was held earlier: these few days were the days when the city war ended, and the rewards were distributed. Under the new circumstances, the boss naturally wanted to know what was going on in each city, and what ideas everyone had.
After this question was asked, there was silence again. This time, even Five Nights felt that something was wrong. He glanced at someone. This guy had never been on good terms with him. This time, he made a mistake, and was mentioned in the meeting, but this guy didn't even mock him? Moreover … this guy didn't even look at him.
Also, the boss was asking questions now! Why didn't the guys who liked to show off and talk first say anything? They all lowered their heads and stared at their feet. What were they thinking about? Was there a hole in the floor?
Matchless Wonder was even more confused, so he directly called out a name, "Wu Ye, what's the situation on your side?"
Wu Ye, one of the three leaders of Yun Teng Studio, who didn't seem to have any opinions during the discussion, was actually one of the 19 directors of Ying Qi Studio. Hearing the boss call out her name, Five Nights immediately looked over. Right, this girl who liked to show off and talk first, why didn't she say anything today?
Wu Ye's expression was a bit awkward, and after a while, she said, "Boss, I have something to tell you in private."
What was this woman trying to do? Seduce the boss? Finally couldn't help but think of this big move? Five Nights didn't like Wu Ye. First, this woman was too good at performing, and the regular meeting was always her personal speech. Secondly, it was because of Wu Ye and Wu Ye. Because their IDs were homophonous, it was inevitable that they would be teased by other colleagues. In the end, Wu Ye would always get angry at these jokes, as if she was being insulted. This made Wu Ye very upset, and even maliciously guessed that Wu Ye didn't want these ambiguous jokes to affect her seduction skills.
Matchless Wonder was also surprised by Wu Ye's reaction, and then he thought that she might say something unfavorable to someone here. This person shouldn't be Five Nights, and Five Nights' problem had already been brought up, so there was no need to hide. Combined with the abnormal situation of others, could it be that something more serious than Moonlit Night City happened in the studio that he didn't know about? Matchless Wonder's expression became serious, and he looked at Wu Ye, "This is a regular meeting, there is nothing that can't be said, just say it."
"I … want to resign." Wu Ye also opened her mouth.
Unrivalled Genius was startled, Five Nights was startled, everyone was startled, but a look of realization flashed across many people's faces. When they noticed the other people's expressions, they understood even more clearly.
Matchless Wonder frowned, "Why?"
"I'm tired, and I want to rest." Wu Ye said.
Matchless Wonder of course wouldn't believe this reason. In the last regular meeting, Wu Ye was cheerfully talking to everyone, and suddenly she was tired in less than a week?
"What happened? Although our studio isn't like other companies, we still love our employees. If you have any difficulties, just tell us. "Matchless Wonder's tone became a little more amiable.
Wu Ye seemed to have gathered her courage, and said, "I want to develop in a different environment."
"A different environment?" Matchless Wonder laughed, "Is there a studio with a better environment than ours?" Matchless Wonder's laugh was a little cynical. At this time, as his own subordinates, they should immediately echo their boss and laugh mockingly. But in the end, only Five Nights cooperated and laughed. But it was these two people's voices that immediately seemed so comical. The silence of the others, on the other hand, became mockery of the two of them. Both of them realized something at the same time.
"You guys …"
"Boss, I also want to resign." Finally, someone stood up.
"I also want to resign."
"I also want to resign."
In less than a minute, ten out of nineteen directors stood up, and they all said two words, "I also want to resign."
Resignation wasn't scary, but the word "also" was scary, especially when it was said so many times in a row. And from the faces of the remaining people, Matchless Wonder saw hesitation. Of course, he immediately understood what was happening. This must be a large-scale poaching, and someone was targeting his studio.
"Everyone, calm down. Let's talk." Matchless Wonder couldn't sit still anymore, so he quickly stood up. Of course, he was very clear about what it would mean to his studio if all the people present here left. He was very angry, but he couldn't show it at this moment. He had to sincerely persuade them to stay, whether it was to protect his own interests or to settle the score later.
"What kind of benefits?" Matchless Wonder knew that there was nothing he could say at this moment. To be able to poach people from the biggest studio, he couldn't think of anything other than better benefits. At the same time, he was very confused. The benefits he offered were not low, so which studio had the power to poach so many people with better benefits? Although they were competitors, as people in the same industry, they were both friends and enemies. Matchless Wonder, of course, had added the heads of all the studios as friends. At this moment, he really wanted to send a group message to them and shout, "Who is messing with me?"
But what was more difficult to deal with was the situation in front of him … Matchless Wonder's words really opened up his subordinates' hearts. Wu Ye, who was usually the most active in speaking, suddenly seemed to have returned to the enthusiasm of the regular meeting. He continuously criticized them for their hard work, unfair treatment, and vicious skimping. Moreover, Wu Ye was very polite today. After saying a few words, he gave the opportunity to others. Therefore, the directors began to criticize them one by one, from talking about theories to presenting facts, as if everyone had been wronged like Dou E. Matchless Wonder wanted to interrupt several times, but he couldn't stop the other party's surging emotions.
Finally, three of the originally hesitant people stood up, and the number of people who wanted to resign and leave reached 13. The remaining people continued to fight fiercely in their minds. Among them, only Wu Ye was at a loss. He could already see that everyone had been poached, but he wasn't. Why?
At this moment, Wu Ye didn't have the mood to speak for his boss. He immediately sent a private message to a director who had a good relationship with him, "Which company poached you?"
"Why, you didn't?" The director was surprised. He was one of the people who was still hesitating, and he thought that Wu Ye was also hesitating!
"Who? How did they poach me? "Wu Ye asked anxiously.
"There were emails sent from the in-game mailbox and the offline mailbox." The other party said.
"I didn't … When?" Wu Ye didn't know offline, but the email system would prompt him as soon as he was in the game. He read the system message eight hundred times, and it was almost last week, but he didn't see it.
"Just today, not long ago. Wu Ye is really snobbish. Such a big matter was decided in a few hours … "
"I think she's not the only snobbish one. What are the conditions? "Wu Ye inquired.
"Well, it's not convenient to say …" Although they had a good relationship, they were colleagues. There was a saying that there were four kinds of interpersonal relationships: friends, enemies, strangers, and colleagues. It could be seen that the relationship between colleagues was quite subtle and learned.
There were 19 directors here, and 18 people were poached. Why did Wu Ye not poach them? Anyone who saw this question would find it strange. Wu Ye's question did not get an answer in the end. And this regular meeting finally became a face-to-face denunciation and resignation meeting of the boss. However, the poaching operation was still going on …

< Butterfly Knot: Writing a knot every day, and changing it in a different way. It's also killing my brain cells.

I quickly got up to write in my diary, but after thinking about it, there was nothing to write. In the end, I wrote this down.
