In the office of Shang Yang Games …
The atmosphere was a little depressing.
Everyone had thought that a new boss would be the beginning of a beautiful tomorrow. They had hoped that Boss Pei would share the joys and sorrows with them, come up with good ideas, and work hard to create a refreshing game that would sweep the best-selling charts …
Yet, none of that happened.
Boss Pei did show his face, but he left after saying less than ten sentences.
He removed Wang Xiaobin, who had the most experience, from his position as chief planner and promoted a newcomer who had joined the company the latest to be the chief planner. He even gave Wang Xiaobin the right to fire someone without reason every month.
As for his plans for the company's future, it was even more ridiculous.
The first step was to get rid of all purchase options for the two existing games.
The second step was for everyone to write a design manuscript.
Other than that, Boss Pei did not have any opinions or suggestions. As for Boss Pei to do it himself? That was even more impossible.
From the fact that Boss Pei had given Ye Zhizhou an 'imperial sword', it was likely that he would not come here for a long time. Ye Zhizhou would be his spokesperson.
Shang Yang Games, which had felt like it was about to be revived, was suddenly pushed back into its coffin. What's more, Boss Pei had hammered a few more nails into the coffin.
How could the atmosphere not be depressing?!
Of course, everyone knew that with Tengda as their backer, Shang Yang Games would not close down in the short term. Everyone's jobs were safe.
However, it was hard to say how long they would be able to keep their jobs.
Wang Xiaobin looked worriedly at Ye Zhizhou's desk. He saw that Ye Zhizhou was typing on his cell phone with his head down. He did not know who he was chatting with.
He could not possibly use up his first no-reason firing spot, could he?
Wang Xiaobin was still quite worried.
Ye Zhizhou was now the chief planner. He had to give orders and assign tasks to everyone. That was the chief planner's responsibility.
Since Ye Zhizhou did not say anything, the others could only sit at their desks and dawdle.
Wang Xiaobin was very unsure if Ye Zhizhou was up to the task. However, since things had come to this, he could only wait and see.
Ye Zhizhou was sending a message to Ma Yiqun.
"Brother Ma, there's something I don't know how to tell you …"
Ma Yiqun, who was on the other end of the line, replied very quickly, "Just say it. I'm here. If there's anything difficult, we'll shoulder it together."
Ma Yiqun had not been assigned any work at Tengda. He did not even have a role in writing the plot for the new version. Thus, he was so bored every day that he replied to all his messages within seconds.
Ye Zhizhou hesitated for a moment and then typed: "Boss Pei came for a meeting and promoted me to the chief planner of Shang Yang Games …"
Ma Yiqun: "???"
He sent more than ten question marks in a row.
Even through the screen, Jiang Yi could sense Ma Yiqun's confusion.
What was the meaning of this?
Ma Yiqun could not understand this world anymore.
Back then, he and Huang Sibo worked together at Shang Yang Games. They were brothers in hardship.
In the blink of an eye, Huang Sibo jumped ship to Tengda Games and rose to the top in one step. He went from an executive planner to a chief planner.
After that, he and Ye Zhizhou did odd jobs together at Shang Yang Games. They were brothers in hardship.
In the blink of an eye, Shang Yang Games had been acquired by Boss Pei. Ye Zhizhou had also skyrocketed to become the chief planner!
Ma Yiqun was the only one who was still learning from Boss Pei's design concepts every day. Until now, he did not have any results that could be mentioned.
Ma Yiqun fell into deep self-doubt.
Why did an executive planner get promoted to chief planner twice in a row?
Could it be that … I'm a koi?
Someone who has been through hardship with me can become a chief planner?
Then why can't I, a koi carp, encounter any good things?
Seeing that Ma Yiqun did not reply for a long time, Ye Zhizhou typed again: "Brother Ma, I'm under a lot of pressure now. I've never been a chief planner before. Can you tell Boss Pei to get someone else? "
Ma Yiqun was so angry that his nose was almost crooked.
You brat, you're still pretending to be a good boy after getting what you want. You're taking advantage of me!
You don't even want to be the chief planner? Are you trying to piss me off on purpose?!
"Goodbye." Ma Yiqun wanted to close the chat window.
Ye Zhizhou quickly replied, "Don't, Brother Ma! I really don't think I'm good enough. How long have I been in this industry? I don't know anything. How can I be a chief planner?
Boss Pei has placed such a heavy responsibility in my hands. What if I mess it up? What should I do? "
Ma Yiqun looked at Ye Zhizhou's message and thought to himself: So, this brat is worried that I won't live up to Boss Pei's expectations.
Yes, he's worth teaching.
Ma Yiqun pondered for a moment. He felt that as someone who had been through this for months and had been trying to figure out Boss Pei, he should impart some of his experience to this little brother of his.
"Don't worry, just go ahead and do it.
"Do you know Huang Sibo? He's the one who resigned before you came. We're good buddies. "
"He was an executive planner at the time. He did the same job as you did.
"After that, he went to Tengda Games and was directly promoted by Boss Pei to be the chief planner!
"Guess what? Ocean Stronghold was created by my brother, Huang Sibo. "
"So, you don't have to worry at all. You don't have to believe in yourself, but you can't not trust Boss Pei's judgment!
"Until now, Boss Pei has promoted many people. At first, no one understood Boss Pei's intentions. However, they soon realized that Boss Pei has a unique insight. These people have shining points that others can't see!
"So, you don't have to worry at all. Since Boss Pei says you can do it, you can do it!"
Looking at Ma Yiqun's message, Ye Zhizhou fell into deep thought.
So, that's why. This isn't the first time someone has been promoted like this. There are precedents?
What's more, they're all successful examples?
In that case, Boss Pei has seen a shining point in me?
Why don't I know …?
However, it's just as Ma Yiqun said. Boss Pei wouldn't promote me for no reason and give me so much power.
Ye Zhizhou thought about it and suddenly became confident.
Since Boss Pei has given me so much power, he's hinting for me to do it. If I cower, wouldn't I not have the demeanor of a Tengda employee? Wouldn't I be letting Boss Pei down?
I'm a glorious Tengda employee now!
At that thought, Ye Zhizhou suddenly felt enlightened.
"Thank you, Brother Ma, for your advice!"
Ye Zhizhou opened the document and started typing confidently.
Over the past few months, the thing that Ye Zhizhou did the most in private was to complain about these two games.
Of course. If these trashy games were feeding sh * t to players, then Ye Zhizhou was playing with sh * t in his hands every day. How could that not be disgusting?!
In the eyes of Ye Zhizhou, or rather, in the eyes of most people in Shang Yang Games, these two games were full of flaws. They could pick out a bunch of problems after playing for five minutes.
However, no one changed them.
That was because everyone was idling. If Old Liu didn't give them tasks, no one was willing to increase their workload.
As for why Old Liu didn't change them, it was very simple. It was because of the huge pressure of revenue.
At that time, the income from the games would barely cover the costs of the company's operations. Where would they find the money to buy art resources and make major changes to the gameplay?
There were many good ideas, but the key was to incorporate them into the game. Not only did they need time, but they also needed money!
Now, Ye Zhizhou didn't have Old Liu or Boss Du. Of course, he could do things that he thought were meaningful.
