January 28th, Friday …
Cui Geng nervously went to the 17th floor of Shenhua View, which was also the office of Tengda Games.
He was now a 'special observer'.
The authority that Boss Pei had given him was quite broad.
As a 'special observer', Cui Geng could come and go freely in any department in Tengda. No department head could stop him.
He could make his own work plans and did not have to report to anyone.
His salary and benefits were completely linked to those of regular employees.
All departments had to cooperate unconditionally when he made requests.
This authority reminded Cui Geng of the evil old society where imperial envoys held swords in their hands. Just listening to it made him want to show off.
However, while these authority looked beautiful, what was the actual situation?
Cui Geng was not sure himself.
On one hand, he did not know what he had done to be valued so highly by Boss Pei and given such an important position.
On the other hand, he was also worried that he would be ostracized as a 'special observer' in various departments.
It was just like when the imperial envoys went to various places. The local officials might look polite on the surface, but they would definitely have their own thoughts.
Take the gaming department as an example.
Tengda's gaming department was the most experienced business department in Tengda Corporation. Although the person-in-charge had changed a few times, the department was still very strong in Tengda Corporation.
What's more, there were a few veteran employees in the department who had been there since Tengda was founded and were very familiar with Boss Pei.
Moreover, Tengda's gaming department was currently the most profitable and reputable business department. It also shouldered the heavy responsibility of sending talents to other departments.
The people in the gaming department must think highly of themselves, right?
Suddenly, a 'special observer' who was not under anyone's control and could not help at all. At the same time, the others had to cooperate unconditionally when he made requests.
How could they be nice to him?
Thus, Cui Geng was very nervous and instinctively wanted to retreat.
However, he remembered that he had an important mission to complete The Butterfly Game. He had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk in.
The layout of the 17th and 16th floors was very similar, but the employees here were obviously more enthusiastic.
The 16th floor was mainly for human resources, administration, finance, and other departments. Apart from finance, which was slightly busier, human resources and administration were very free. Thus, the overall atmosphere was more relaxed. Many people were watching dramas and sleeping.
On the other hand, the gaming department on the 17th floor was currently in charge of GOG's research and development. It had just been released for internal testing on Monday, and there were many bugs that needed to be fixed.
Hence, everyone on this floor was so busy that no one even raised their heads to look at Cui Geng.
Li Yada had already stood up to welcome them.
"Cui Geng, right? Hello, my name is Li Yada. I'm currently in charge of the gaming department. "
Li Yada shook hands with Cui Geng and led him to the desk beside her.
After Ruan Guangjian left, the workstation had been empty. It was just right for Cui Geng to use.
The atmosphere of rejection and resistance that Cui Geng had imagined did not appear. It seemed that the people in the gaming department were quite welcoming of him as a 'special observer'.
Of course, it could also be superficial.
After sitting down at his desk, Cui Geng felt that he had to say something first. "I've already mentioned the responsibilities of my position. I hope that everyone can cooperate with me when I'm collecting materials …"
Before Cui Geng could finish speaking, Li Yada nodded and smiled. "Of course, all of us have to cooperate unconditionally with the work of a 'special observer'.
"Don't worry. All the departments in Tengda are brother departments. Since Boss Pei set up the position of a 'special observer', it must be of great significance to the entire company. All the departments will do their best to cooperate."
Cui Geng felt much more at ease after hearing Li Yada's statement.
It seemed like he had been worried that the departments would not cooperate before. He had been thinking too much!
Under the unity of the Tengda spirit, the various departments in Tengda Corporation had long been twisted into a rope. To a certain extent, they had formed a benign competitive relationship. There was no scheming between the departments.
What's more, Boss Pei's will was the highest standard in Tengda Corporation. Even if an outsider were to appear directly from nowhere, as long as he was appointed by Boss Pei, the various departments would have the highest trust in him.
Cui Geng could not help but feel emotional. Boss Pei had a way with his subordinates!
His management skills alone were incomparable to ordinary entrepreneurs, not to mention business capabilities.
This atmosphere also infected Cui Geng, filling him with fighting spirit.
"Go ahead then. I'll organize my thoughts and then start gathering materials," Cui Geng said.
Li Yada smiled and nodded. "Alright, I've already arranged for an old employee to answer these questions. He has been here since Tengda's first recruitment. He can be called a 'living fossil'. You can ask him any questions you have."
Cui Geng turned on his computer and prepared to use the morning to finish updating the old book and sort out the general framework of the new book. In the afternoon, he would talk to this' living fossil 'called Bao Xu about Tengda Games' past and present.
"There are many things to do. I have to hurry.
"According to the previous plan, I have to finish the old book in the next few days if I want to publish it during the Chinese New Year. At the same time, I have to quickly set up the general framework of the new book. At the very least, the basic settings and the outline of the first hundred thousand words have to be perfect. Otherwise, there would be hidden dangers. The chances of me collapsing midway would greatly increase.
"Once the computer is turned on, I'll create a new document."
Cui Geng had already thought it through. He must not look at the computer's configuration. Otherwise, he would definitely want to play games after seeing it.
The computer turned on very quickly.
Cui Geng was just about to right-click on the desktop to create a new document. However, before he could do so, he was stunned.
On the desktop, almost the entire screen was covered with game icons.
There were all kinds of games on the market, be it standalone or online games!
Cui Geng glanced around and saw a few large-scale games that he had always wanted to play but had given up because his computer could not carry them.
Cui Geng, "… F * ck!"
Isn't this creating obstacles for me to work?
There were so many temptations on the table. Who could not be tempted?
Cui Geng immediately became alert. "Could this be a trap set by Li Yada and the others? Are they deliberately targeting me? "
He turned to look at Li Yada's desktop suspiciously.
Then, he was shocked to find that Li Yada's desktop was also filled with game icons!
However, Li Yada could completely ignore these game icons. She opened the document and seriously modified it. She was extremely focused and completely unaffected.
"I've misunderstood!"
Cui Geng could not help but feel ashamed. It looked like all of Tengda's employees were practitioners of the Tengda spirit.
They had achieved the perfect combination of entertainment, rest, and work. When it was time to work, they would not be moved even if so many games were placed in front of them!
"It looks like my mental state is not up to standard."
Cui Geng seemed to be infected by the Tengda spirit. He did not bother about the games on the desktop anymore. Instead, he opened a new document and began his work.
Cui Geng tapped on the keyboard, producing a crisp sound. Soon, it blended perfectly with the sound of keyboards in the entire office.
In the afternoon, Cui Geng came to Bao Xu's desk and asked him about the strange things that happened when Tengda Games was first established.
Bao Xu looked nostalgic. "It's a long story. I was an internet addict in an internet cafe back then …"

January 29th, Saturday …
Today was the day off, and it was the last day of work before the Chinese New Year.
The Chinese New Year of 2011 was February 3rd. The official holidays started on February 2nd.
However, considering the problem of buying tickets, Pei Qian decided to give one more day off on February 1st. At the same time, he changed the working day from the 31st to the 29th.
That way, he could give three days off earlier than other companies.
Such adjustments were not unlimited. For example, Pei Qian could not change his daily working hours to two working days and five days off. However, it was not a problem for him to adjust his working hours to two or three days off under the framework of the official holidays.
Although it was the last day, there were many tasks for today.
The first selection for the Zero Overtime Competition and the Best Employee Selection on February 1st would be held today.
After the two selections in the morning, everyone could knock off and go home to celebrate the Chinese New Year.
During this period, the administrative department and the HR department did not have much work to do. They were preparing for the two selections.
The person-in-charge and core employees of the various departments had already rushed to the hotel venue near Shenhua View. The seats in the venue were filled to the brim.
Although the scale of the annual meeting could not be compared to the scale of the annual meeting, it was still very lively.
The table was filled with fruit platters and dried fruits. There were also all kinds of candies and chocolates. It was similar to what people would put on the table during the Chinese New Year at home. However, both the dried fruits and the candies were much more expensive.
Everyone munched on melon seeds, ate candies, drank tea, and waited for the selection on the big screen.
Li Yada looked at the big screen in front of the venue with interest. She whispered, "The Best Employee Selection is becoming more and more formal. In the past, we just had to vote online, and Boss Pei would award the award. This time, they even specially set up a venue. "
Bao Xu, who was sitting beside her, did not say a word. He only munched on his melon seeds, his expression not looking good.
It was about time, and everyone had arrived.
Xin Hailu came to the big screen, said a few words, and then entered the selection for the first Zero Overtime Competition.
The big screen began to show the overtime hours and the number of people who worked overtime, etc.
Li Yada peeled an orange, completely uninterested in the content on the big screen. "There's definitely nothing for our department to do. We were a little busy this year, and we had to work overtime a few times. Let's work harder next time. "
Bao Xu continued munching on his melon seeds, not wanting to express any opinion.
