August 20th, Friday …
It was Qiao Liang's first time in Jingzhou. It felt good.
The weather was similar to Beijing. It was hot, but it was cloudy today. There was a slight breeze, and it felt much cooler than the previous two days.
Qiao Liang quickly found the staff in charge of picking him up and got into the car to the hotel that he had booked.
The person who came to pick him up was a young man with the surname Sun. He was Tengda's full-time driver. He looked very energetic, and his mannerisms were very appropriate and polite.
Qiao Liang sat in the spacious backseat of the car and felt very comfortable.
The car drove very steadily. Obviously, this Little Sun had a lot of driving experience.
This was the first time Qiao Liang had enjoyed such treatment. His impression of Tengda improved a little.
Qiao Liang looked at the scenery outside the window and sighed. "This is great."
This was his first time in Jingzhou. He did not have much expectations for the city, but he realized that it was much more prosperous than he had imagined.
Qiao Liang had lived in Beijing for a long time. He was a drifter in Beijing, but he lived a hard life. Beijing might be very prosperous, but he had not enjoyed any of the good things.
At most, it was more convenient to watch a play or listen to a concert occasionally. Other than that, it was not much different from a second-tier city.
He felt much more relaxed when he arrived in Jingzhou.
Soon, he arrived at the hotel.
"Teacher Qiao, I'll help you check in first. Then, you can go upstairs and pack up. I'll park the car. We'll meet at the hotel entrance in ten minutes. The company is nearby. It's a three-minute walk away. "Little Sun was still polite.
Soon, everything was settled.
Qiao Liang did not have to pay a single cent for his accommodation during this period. Tengda would pay for it.
He arrived at the sixth floor of the hotel and found that Tengda had arranged a suite for him.
There was a small living room outside with a coffee table, sofa, desk, and writing desk. There was a fruit tray on the coffee table. There was also a coffee cabinet with a coffee machine, coffee capsules, and a small fridge.
Inside was a spacious bedroom with floor-to-ceiling windows and a very spacious bathroom with a bathtub.
"Tengda's Boss Pei is too kind!
"It looks like I'm quite influential. Otherwise, he wouldn't think so highly of me."
Qiao Liang was very proud.
Speaking of which, Qiao Liang did not expect Tengda to invite him to be the chief game experience officer to try out a new game that had not been released yet.
Indeed, his videos were quite influential. He had been paying attention to Tengda's development ever since The Lonely Desert Road.
However, for a game company like Tengda, there was really no need to pay attention to a mere UP Master.
That was why Boss Pei's sincerity was so precious and moved Qiao Liang.
Not only did they pay him enough for his hard work, they even had a car to pick him up and send him off, and they even arranged food and lodging for him.
Thus, Qiao Liang had a good impression of Tengda and Boss Pei.
"Who would have thought that the company that created The Lonely Desert Road would change so much in less than a year and grow to its current scale?"
"Life is really unpredictable."
Qiao Liang tidied up his luggage, ate some fruits, and then rested on the sofa in the living room.
He didn't have much luggage. Other than his personal computer and some other digital products, he only had clothes to change into.
The hotel had a laundry service. As long as he placed his dirty clothes in the laundry bag, the room service would take them away, wash them, and send them back.
Before coming, Qiao Liang was a little worried about the living conditions here and whether it would be inconvenient to wash his clothes. Now, it seemed like his worries were completely unnecessary.
The sofa was very comfortable. It was a pity that it was cloudy today, and there was no sunlight. Otherwise, lying on the sofa in the living room and basking in the sun would be quite enjoyable.
However, the gloomy weather did not affect Qiao Liang's good mood. After resting for a while, he went downstairs to the hall on the first floor. Under Little Sun's lead, he went to Tengda Network Technology Co., Ltd.
Qiao Liang was a little excited at the thought of meeting Boss Pei soon.
Qiao Liang had always felt that he and Boss Pei were like seeking a bosom friend from a high mountain and flowing water. Only he could understand Game Designer and 'performance-art-style publicity', which were filled with deep meaning.
If not for him, Boss Pei's spirit would have been misunderstood for a long time.
Thinking about it, Boss Pei probably thought the same, right?
As the saying went, bosom friends were hard to find. Someone like Boss Pei, who liked to make games with deep meaning, probably treasured bosom friends, right?
That was why Boss Pei had come all the way from Beijing to pick him up to be the chief experience officer of the new game.
Qiao Liang thought about it happily as he followed Little Sun into Tengda's office.
His first reaction was: so spacious!
The working environment was ridiculously good. One could tell that this company was really not short of money from the size of each workstation.
What's more, the atmosphere in the office was lively and free. It was completely different from the lifeless atmosphere in many other companies.
Although Qiao Liang had not been to many companies, he had tried to interview for jobs after he graduated from university. He had also seen many videos on video websites about the working environment in companies.
Most companies' working environments were quite oppressive and dull.
However, that did not exist here at all.
Every employee looked very relaxed, eating snacks and drinking coffee as they went to work. However, they looked very focused as they worked. It was a state where their subjective initiative was fully stimulated.
At first, Qiao Liang was a little suspicious. He wondered if this was all an act.
However, he thought about it again and realized that he was thinking too highly of himself.
He was just a small UP Master. He was neither a supervisor nor an authoritative media outlet. Why would people act in front of him?
What's more, everyone looked so relaxed. It was not an act.
Qiao Liang was even more interested in Boss Pei now.
The fact that the company was operating in such a good state showed that Boss Pei was not only an outstanding designer but also an outstanding manager.
What was his true colors, then?
Little Sun came to Boss Pei's office and gently knocked on the door.
"Boss Pei, Teacher Qiao is here."
…
Pei Qian was playing Repent and be Saved in his office. At that moment, he was extremely frustrated.
Strictly speaking, there was never a time when he was not frustrated as long as he played Repent and be Saved.
Every time he suffered, Pei Qian would wonder why he created this game in the first place. Then, he would flip through the names in his notebook and silently hold a grudge.
When he heard that Teacher Qiao was here, Pei Qian immediately threw the game controller on the table and stood up.
You're finally here!
If you were any later, I really could not take it anymore!
Outside the door, Teacher Qiao heard a 'bam' in the office. He did not know what had fallen.
Qiao Liang smiled.
Boss Pei thinks so highly of me!
Back then, Cao Cao had rushed out to welcome Xu You. In layman's terms, when Cao Cao heard that Xu You was here, he did not even have time to put on his shoes before he ran out to welcome him.
This scene should be similar.
Although Qiao Liang did not know what Boss Pei was doing, from the sound of it, Boss Pei should have immediately thrown down the things in his hands and come out to welcome me. That was enough to show how much he valued me!
Qiao Liang even felt a little embarrassed.
What did I do to deserve Boss Pei's attention? I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed.
