This was not Wang Jiangnan's first time entering Glory Corporation's Chairman Qiao Liang's office. However, this was the first time he was so nervous. As soon as he entered, Secretary Yan left the office and closed the door behind him.
Wang Jiangnan stood at the door cautiously as he stared at the man sitting behind the desk at the end of the huge office. He did not even raise his head as he continued to stare at the monitor in front of him. His hands were typing furiously on the keyboard. Wang Jiangnan stared at the man. This was the first time he looked at the man who was in charge of such a huge corporation. He looked to be in his thirties, and his hair was neatly combed. He was wearing a dark-colored suit. His clothes were so meticulous that there wasn't a single wrinkle. Although he didn't wear any expensive watches, pens, or other accessories, his calm and composed expression gave people a sense of stability and indifference.
"Chairman Qiao." Wang Jiangnan called out to Qiao Liang softly.
Only then did Qiao Liang shift his gaze from the monitor. He glanced at Jiang Nan and then smiled faintly. A beautiful arc appeared at the corner of his lips. There was a kind of radiance in his bright eyes that made people feel at ease. Wang Jiangnan had to admit that age was the best decoration for a man. Qiao Liang, who was in front of him, exuded a noble, mature, and humble aura. Not only could this aura subdue his opponents, but it could also subdue everyone who had worked with him. This was probably the reason why he could stand in this position at this age.
"Jiangnan, please take a seat. I still have something to do here." Qiao Liang pointed at the chair in front of him and gestured for Wang Jiangnan to take a seat. He then turned his gaze back to the monitor and started typing furiously.
Wang Jiangnan sat on the chair opposite Qiao Liang as he was told. He did not know where to look from across the desk. After looking around, his eyes finally landed on a huge poster on the wall to the right of the desk. It was the poster for the closed beta of Fate OL. It was not released yet, and was drawn by the art team. Yet, it was very interesting. Qiao Liang liked the drawing very much, and asked someone to enlarge it. During the pledge ceremony before the closed beta, all the employees in the game signed their names. After that, he hung the poster in his office.
Wang Jiangnan had been to Qiao Liang's office no more than five times, but this was the first time he took a good look at the poster. The poster was a picture of a few of the characters in Fate. It was nothing special, but the poster was filled with the names of all his colleagues back then. It was ironic to see so many names on the poster. He searched through the poster and finally found his name in an inconspicuous place. What made him feel a little sad was that the people around him had all left their jobs.
In troubled times, the tea cools down when people leave.
Looking at the bustling and lively poster at this time, it would make one feel a lot of sadness.
Wang Jiangnan was staring at the poster, Qiao Liang's voice, "There were a lot of people at that time."
"Chairman Qiao …" Wang Jiangnan quickly turned to look at Qiao Liang. He opened his mouth, but he really did not know what to say. He could only close his mouth and look at him.
"Compared to now, it was much livelier back then." Qiao Liang was also looking at the poster, but there was no sadness on his face. Instead, there was a faint, strange light in his eyes. Wang Jiangnan was confused. He was not an important employee of the company, but even he knew that the company was in deep trouble. Why was there no sadness on the face of the person at the helm of the company? Instead, he looked as confident and satisfied as when the company was at its peak.
"Chairman Qiao, are you sad that so many people have left?" Wang Jiangnan looked at Qiao Liang for a long time, and finally asked his question.
"Sad?" Qiao Liang turned around and looked at Wang Jiangnan, as if he was seriously considering the question. "Why should I be sad?"
Wang Jiangnan finally calmed down. For a moment, he didn't know how to answer. After a while, he said, "Because the company poached people, so many people left at once. You, you …" He couldn't find the right words to say, so he just stood there and didn't say anything.
Qiao Liang was stunned for a moment, and then laughed heartily, "Is that the only reason? If that's the only reason, there's nothing to be sad about. I'm a sentimental person. It's fate that brought us together. In this world, even the fate of a mother and son will end, let alone the fate of a colleague. When the time is up, fate will end. Let fate take its course. What's there to be sad about? There's still life after that. Why worry? "
Wang Jiangnan looked at Qiao Liang in a daze. After a while, he smiled as well. This man had a tenacity that would not change even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of him. This was easy to say, but difficult to do. Wang Jiangnan suddenly admired Qiao Liang. It was not without reason that he could sit in this position at such a young age.
"Alright, Jiangnan, why are you looking for me? Since you're not here to resign, I don't think you're here to talk to me about being sad or not. Then, tell me why you're here. " Qiao Liang placed his hands on the table, his clean and slender fingers intertwined as he looked at Wang Jiangnan intently.
Wang Jiangnan stopped and looked at Qiao Liang quietly as if he did not hear him.
"Jiangnan?" Seeing that Wang Jiangnan was not speaking, Qiao Liang could not help but call out to him again.
At that moment, Wang Jiangnan took a deep breath and stood up. He stood in front of Qiao Liang and straightened his back. He calmed himself down and tried to make his tone as normal as possible. Then, he said, "Chairman Qiao, I saw Yu Tou leave just now."
Qiao Liang raised his eyebrows, not seeming surprised. He nodded and said, "That's true. He handed in his resignation letter to me two hours ago. Why? How did you know? Not bad, you're quite well-informed. "
"Chairman Qiao …" Wang Jiangnan licked his lips. He was about to say something when Qiao Liang raised his hand and interrupted him. "Jiangnan, if you're here to ask why Yu Ping left, I can only say that I have no comment. Do you have any other questions?"
"I … am not here to ask why Yu Tou left." Wang Jiangnan shook his head.
"Oh? Then why are you here? "Qiao Liang looked at Wang Jiangnan with interest. This was their youngest planner. He had a pretty face that did not fit in with engineering students. Sometimes, Qiao Liang felt that Wang Jiangnan would be letting his face down if he did not become a celebrity. However, he was the most hardworking person in the planning team. From being ignorant when he first entered the industry, he now had his own unique views on everything. This young man had grown a lot in two years.
However, this was not the reason why Qiao Liang was willing to spend so much time to meet him.
There was only one reason why Qiao Liang was willing to spend time to meet him in such an eventful time. That was loyalty.
Yu Ping, who was his brother, had left. Why was this young planner, who was unwilling to leave, looking for him? No matter what the reason was, Qiao Liang wanted to meet him and listen to his words. This was why Wang Jiangnan was standing here today. However, Qiao Liang was now curious. Why was he looking for him?
Wang Jiangnan lowered his head and thought about what Ye Ci had said. She said not to give up on your dreams. She said to put your life on the line. She said, "Are you short of money? Are you so short of money that you have to betray your dreams? " These words intertwined with that cold and distant face kept appearing in his mind. He took a deep breath and said to Qiao Liang, "Chairman Qiao, after Yu Tou left, do you have a suitable candidate in mind for Fate's chief planner?"
"Not yet. Why? Do you have someone to recommend? " When Qiao Liang heard Wang Jiangnan's words, he roughly understood why he was here. He was probably here to recommend someone. However, he was still in contact with the best planners in the industry. He looked at Wang Jiangnan's face again. There was nothing wrong with listening to his candidate, "Let's hear it. If it's suitable, I'll consider it."
"Chairman Qiao, what do you think of me?" Wang Jiangnan smiled. He looked at Qiao Liang calmly and said the words that had been lingering in his heart for a long time. After saying it out loud, he realized that he was not as scary as he thought.
"Ah?" Qiao Liang was surprised by the answer. He was stunned and did not react for a long time.
While Qiao Liang was still in a daze, Wang Jiangnan took the opportunity to speak, "I know that I'm young, and I know that young people tend to feel unreliable. However, Chairman Qiao, I did not come to you on impulse. I have thought about it carefully. Just because I'm young doesn't mean I don't have experience in this industry. This industry requires a more active imagination and a more youthful passion. I think I can do it. Maybe I'm not as familiar with this job as Yu Tou, but Chairman Qiao, I'm still young. I am the youngest person in the Fate planning team … This means that I have more time than the others to work hard for this job! I believe that Chairman Qiao has seen the few plans that I have made. I am confident that I am not inferior to those so-called senior planners. In fact, I am even better than them. "
"Are you here to ask me to give you a chance to see how you can play Fate to death?" Qiao Liang listened to Wang Jiangnan's words quietly. His calm expression made it difficult for anyone to understand what he was thinking.
"Who knows, maybe I'll give you a chance to reach the peak of Fate?" Wang Jiangnan's confidence was at its peak. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
