Just as Pei Qian was thinking, someone knocked on his office door.
He looked up and saw Lu Mingliang.
"Boss Pei, a few concept drawings have been completed. Do you want to take a look?"
Lu Mingliang had already handed all the concept designs for Repent and be Saved to Ruan Guangjian. This included the setting, characters, monsters, equipment, weapons, and the like.
Ruan Guangjian would not have been able to complete all these by himself. However, he had a workspace now.
After graduation, Ruan Guangjian used his reputation and connections to open a small workspace in Shanghai. It was right next to the Finance University that he had originally studied at.
The workspace was called 'Halo Workspace'. Thanks to Ghost General, Game Designer, and other concept designs, it was now very famous in the industry.
Ruan Guangjian's roommates had all been roped into the workspace. What's more, they had been making good profits recently. They had also hired some new helpers. In the past, they could only take on small jobs. Slowly, they could take on big jobs.
As Ruan Guangjian's reputation increased, more and more game merchants came to him. Often, they had to make arrangements.
Especially if they wanted Ruan Guangjian to personally draw for them. Not only was the price getting higher, but it was also getting harder to make arrangements.
However, Ruan Guangjian had always been very loyal to Tengda Games.
No matter what requests they had, as long as it did not affect their current schedules, he would make sure that they were fulfilled first!
After Repent and be Saved's plot, worldbuilding, and various art requirements were completed, Lu Mingliang immediately went to Halo Workspace and handed the responsibility of designing the concept to Ruan Guangjian.
Now, the first batch of concept drawings was completed.
Accompanied by Lu Mingliang, Pei Qian looked through the concept drawings.
First, there were a few concept drawings of the scenery.
The Gates of Hell were located in a series of mountains. On both sides were strange peaks, and in front of them was a bottomless abyss filled with vengeful spirits.
A tall greenish-gray memorial arch was surrounded by a greenish-blue mist, and the sinister ancient characters on the memorial arch made people shudder.
Behind the Gates of Hell was the Road to the Underworld, which stretched to the end. Countless vengeful spirits wandered on the Road to the Underworld, walking forward in a daze. They did not know fatigue.
On both sides of the Yellow Springs Road were rolling blue clouds. From time to time, a withered, waxy yellow hand would reach out from the clouds, trying hard to grab the person on the Yellow Springs Road and drag him down.
After crossing the Bridge of Helplessness of the River of Forgetfulness, it was already an eerie land of ghosts. A few soul-summoning lanterns hung in the air, and wandering souls walked past in a daze, either disappearing into the fog in the distance, or falling directly from the bridge into the River of Forgetfulness, never to be seen again.
Apart from that, there were also a few scattered drawings of objects and some concept art of monsters.
For example, dilapidated temples, Buddha statues, Earth Temples, Earth Statues, ordinary evil spirits, broken weapons, Soul Summoning Banners, and so on.
The monsters included Granny Meng, the four Infernal Judges of Hell, and so on.
Although these monsters had been used in many games before, Ruan Guangjian would definitely redesign them and draw them in the style that he was good at. This dark style was quite prominent and left a deep impression on people.
Pei Qian could not help but feel emotional after looking at the few original arts.
"Ruan Guangjian's performance is really stable."
What he meant was: Can't you f * cking perform a little worse for once?!
The key was that from Ghost General to Game Designer to Repent and be Saved, this person's art skills seemed to be improving continuously. That was really terrible!
Pei Qian could clearly feel that Repent and be Saved's concept art was coming out much faster. Some of the styles were also becoming more familiar.
Compared to Game Designer, Repent and be Saved's content was more suitable for Ruan Guangjian's epic ink oil painting style. That was probably one of the reasons why he was performing better.
Lu Mingliang agreed with Pei Qian very much. He nodded and praised, "That's right. I can only say that the big boss is indeed the big boss. He's always so stable! I'm really relieved to hand the original arts over to him! "
Pei Qian, "…"
He really wanted to blacklist Ruan Guangjian and not work with him in the future.
However, there was no reason to do so!
Ruan Guangjian's drawings were so good, and he was giving them discounts. His style was also suitable. Why would he find a reason to stop working with him?
However, the good thing was that Repent and be Saved was not a game that relied on its graphics to win. It was the gameplay that would dissuade players. On top of that, Pei Qian considered the fact that he could spend more money with Ruan Guangjian.
"Not bad. Let's continue with this."
Pei Qian looked at the concept art for a long time but could not find any flaws. The concept art was too well drawn. There was nothing he could do to change it.
He really did not understand the content of the original arts. He could only allow himself to be trampled on.
Upon hearing Pei Qian's words, Lu Mingliang could not help but sigh. "Boss Pei and Big Boss Ruan are indeed like-minded.
"Big Boss Ruan said that once this project is completed, he might take a break for a few days. When that time comes, he might come to Jingzhou to take a look at our company and visit Boss Pei.
"After all, the two of you have been friends online for a long time. It's a pity that you haven't met each other. Boss Pei, you must be thinking the same thing, right? "
The corners of Pei Qian's mouth twitched slightly.
Why would I be thinking the same thing?!
I don't want to see him at all!
The first person on the blacklist was Teacher Qiao, and the second was this fellow!
The key was that ever since they worked together on Ghost General, Ruan Guangjian and Pei Qian were no longer purely business partners.
Ruan Guangjian vaguely saw Pei Qian as his confidant. Although the two of them were in different industries — one was in games while the other was in original arts — the feeling of like-mindedness had crossed over the barriers of their respective industries.
The corners of Pei Qian's mouth twitched slightly. "Hehe, I'll definitely 'entertain' him well when he comes."
…
…
The progress of the two games was already clear to Pei Qian.
From the looks of it, there were no serious problems that needed to be corrected.
Pei Qian thought about it. There were still many things he had to work on.
Seeing that July was almost over, there were three pressing matters.
First, according to the rules set by Pei Qian, the selection of outstanding employees would be held on August 1st.
Pei Qian was not very confident about this selection.
Since the selection would be decided through voting, Pei Qian did not intend to do anything behind the scenes. That was because he did not really trust his own judgment.
The public's eyes were sharp. The outstanding employees that they had voted for would definitely play an important role for everyone to see. Pei Qian had no intention of covering up for them.
Even if they were his trusted subordinates, he had to eliminate them properly!
Second, there was the matter of the high-end restaurant and Upwind Logistics.
The preparatory work was still ongoing, but the person in charge should be decided soon.
Pei Qian still remembered that the branch manager of Fish-Catching Internet Cafe was a chef. He would let him manage the high-end restaurant.
After all, that chef did not make much of a name for himself as the branch manager of an internet cafe. It was obvious that he did not have much ability. If he were to be the branch manager of a high-end restaurant, he would look like a professional on the surface, but in reality, he would be a burden.
As for Upwind Logistics …
Pei Qian considered asking the outstanding employee this time if he wanted to be in charge of Upwind Logistics.
If he did not want to, Pei Qian would give him a Dream Fund of one million yuan and let him mess around on his own. If he did, Pei Qian would arrange for him to be in charge of Upwind Logistics.
Finally, Pei Qian had taken Lin Chang's money. It was about time he produced some results.
