February 13th, Monday …
Jingzhou High Speed Rail Station.
Bao Xu was almost moved to tears when he stepped onto Jingzhou's soil once again.
I, Bao Xu, am finally back!
The long paid vacation was finally over!
Bao Xu felt as if a lifetime had passed as he looked at the familiar city scenery outside.
FV Club's group flew directly from the United States to Shanghai. Then, the members of FV Club stayed in Shanghai. Ye Zhizhou, Min Jingchao, Bao Xu, Coach Old Zhou, and the others took the high-speed rail back to Jingzhou.
They had a good rest because they were still in business class on the plane. They rested for a while after getting off the plane and then transferred to the high-speed rail back to Jingzhou. They did not feel tired.
Ye Zhizhou and Min Jingchao rubbed their palms together, ready to go all out.
They had been paying attention to the latest movements of Finger Games when they were in the United States. They knew that IOI's local server was going to start a price war with GOG.
Both of them were in charge of GOG. After this period of vacation, they had adjusted to their best state. They were just waiting for Boss Pei's orders to be able to devote 120% of their enthusiasm to work.
Bao Xu only had one thought in his mind: to return to his desk immediately, get a cup of coffee, play games to his heart's content, and never go out again!
As a homebody, no matter how good the scenery was, it could not compare to the comfort of staying at home. Bao Xu had not experienced such comfort in a long time.
The seven-seater commercial car in charge of picking them up stopped in the underground parking lot of Shenhua View. Bao Xu followed Ye Zhizhou, Min Jingchao, and the others into the elevator and suddenly realized that something was amiss.
Why was Ye Zhizhou here?
Ye Zhizhou was from Shang Yang Games. Why wasn't he working at Shenhua View?
Bao Xu asked Ye Zhizhou doubtfully, "Are you here … because you have work to report?"
Ye Zhizhou shook his head. "No."
Bao Xu looked confused. Why are you here if you're not going to report your work?
Are you here to visit?
That doesn't make sense.
Ye Zhizhou smiled. "Brother Bao, it's the Outstanding Employee Selection today. I'm the person-in-charge of the department. Of course, I have to come!"
Like a bolt from the blue, Bao Xu's whole body froze, and his expression became sluggish.
Outstanding Employee Selection!
Yes, it was already February!
Tengda's Outstanding Employee Selection was held twice a year, in February and August respectively. The exact date was not fixed. It depended on Boss Pei's work arrangements, but the selection would definitely be completed that month.
It was now February, and it was indeed time for the Outstanding Employee Selection!
Bao Xu had been traveling outside since before the Spring Festival. He was dizzy from all the traveling. He had long forgotten about the Outstanding Employee Selection.
Moreover, the Outstanding Employee Selection only required the various department heads to be present. Therefore, only people in charge like Ye Zhizhou and Min Jingchao would be notified.
Although Bao Xu was experienced, he was just an ordinary employee, so he didn't receive any notice.
His face instantly turned pale, and his vision darkened. He held the handrail in the elevator with both hands.
An ominous premonition welled up in his heart. Oh no!
If Bao Xu was judged based on his work in the past six months, then there was no reason for him to be associated with the Best Employee Selection.
Mission and Choice was still in development. The competition between GOG and IOI had also come to an end. The games department did not have particularly outstanding results. On the other hand, Bao Xu tried his best to reduce his presence. He was almost invisible in the games department. The possibility of him being on the list was infinitely close to zero.
However, Bao Xu knew his limits and had already prepared for the worst.
He had thought the same during the Best Employee Selection the last time. However, he had not expected Huang Sibo to get second place for the Best Employee Selection and specifically ask him to accompany him!
Bao Xu reluctantly brought Huang Sibo on a trip to Africa. He called out to the East African Great Rift Valley and the Sahara Desert. He wanted to make an example out of him so that the people who obtained second place for the Outstanding Employee Selection in the future would know the difficulties and not bring him along.
However, Bao Xu himself had no idea if this method would work.
After all, Bao Xu's many trips told him that it was useless not to believe in heresy. As long as there was a tourism project, it would definitely be inextricably linked to him.
Thus, Bao Xu, who had gradually accepted his fate and reality, felt a heartfelt breakdown.
…
At the same time, the preparations for the Best Employee Selection were completed.
The heads of the various departments gathered together, and the employees of the departments were ready to vote on TPDb's application.
Everyone welcomed Min Jingchao, Ye Zhizhou, Bao Xu, and the others when they saw them.
"You're back from vacation? It's been hard on you! "
"I feel like I've tanned a little and lost a little weight. The schedule this week is quite tight, right?"
"Come, sit down and rest. The voting is about to begin."
Bao Xu silently found a seat in the corner and sighed softly. Then, he opened his suitcase and began to pack.
After returning from the United States, he had returned to the company before he could return to his residence. That was why he had brought his suitcase with him.
In the past, Bao Xu felt that there was no reason for him to be chosen. That was why he was caught off guard when the results came out.
This time, he thought about it. If he thought about it the other way around and took the initiative to pack his luggage and put on an act, would he be able to survive?
Seeing that the heads of the various departments were all present, the voting officially began!
A histogram appeared on the big screen. Everyone took out their cell phones and opened the TPDb section of Tengda Life App. They found the Best Employee Selection channel through the employee entrance and cast their precious votes.
This time, Bao Xu did not look at it. He was prepared to be an ostrich with its head buried in the sand. He lowered his head and fiddled with his luggage to find some psychological comfort.
In the end, the histogram jumped a few times imperceptibly. A few numbers changed slightly and finally stopped.
Best Employee: Chang You.
Second Best Employee: Liang Qingfan.
Third Best Employee: Zhang Yuan.
Everyone applauded enthusiastically when they saw the list!
The Best Employee Selection this time seemed to be a little worse than the previous few Best Employee Selections.
The results of these people were not as outstanding as the previous Best Employee Selections.
It was mainly because of time. The huge project 'Mission and Choice' had not been completed. The game had not been released, and the movie had not been released. Thus, there were no very explosive projects. The votes of many departments were relatively close.
The E-Sports Division that Zhang Yuan was in charge of had actually been very eye-catching in the past six months. The GPL league was very successful. A large amount of capital had entered the club and successfully pulled in a large amount of investment and sponsorship.
What's more, FV Club had won the IOI global finals and had also made Tengda Corporation extremely famous. The coaching team had played a very important role. This was also related to the E-Sports Division.
However, the problem was that in the eyes of others, most of the credit should be given to Boss Pei and not Zhang Yuan.
The major capitals established clubs and sponsored competitions mainly because of Boss Pei's personal charm. FV Club won the championship because of Boss Pei's comprehensive planning and foresight.
Zhang Yuan only took up a small part of the credit, so he only got third place in the end.
Liang Qingfan's Sloth Apartments was doing well. It had established the 'Tengda standard' in terms of furniture and accumulated a good reputation. At the same time, customizing furniture, selling design plans, working with real estate developers to make model houses, and so on also had a certain amount of profits.
However, the Sloth Apartments did not earn enough money after all, so it could only get second place.
In comparison, Otto Technologies might not have released a new cell phone in the past six months, but its new operating system was a huge success and received a good reputation. Artificial intelligence AEEIS and the Fully-Automated Smart Bickering Machine were also well received. All in all, their results were the most outstanding.
Of course, the difference in votes between the three of them was not big. It could be said that they were on par with each other. They could be considered to be picking a general from a dwarf.
In fact, there were some other departments that had achieved results, but for some special reasons, they were not included in the scope of this selection. For example, the independent game incubation base that Qiu Hong was in charge of was still confidential. There were also some department heads who had already won the Best Employee Award and could not win it again. They could only get second place.
The three people who appeared on the big screen had different expressions.
Zhang Yuan was stunned for a moment. Then, he patted his chest, feeling very lucky.
That was close. He almost went on a vacation!
Zhang Yuan was not very interested in traveling. He was actually quite a homebody even though he was far from Bao Xu's level. However, Tengda had so many holidays and he was not short of money. He could travel anytime if he wanted to. Naturally, he was not interested.
Liang Qingfan, on the other hand, looked more expectant.
He had joined Tengda for less than a year. He had not gotten such an opportunity to 'travel at public expense' before. Thus, he was still looking forward to it.
Chang You, on the other hand, looked confused. His expression was the same as when Zhang Yuan won the Best Employee Award.
He did not want to change departments at all!
Winning the Best Employee Award meant that he would have a Dream Fund. However, it also meant that he had to leave his original department, form a new department, and start again.
Zhang Yuan was originally the person-in-charge of Fish-Catching Internet Cafe. He had also set up ROF Computer-Installation. He was doing very well and was very satisfied with the situation at that time. In the end, he was forced out of Fish-Catching Internet Cafe by Boss Pei because he won the Best Employee Award. He had no choice but to set up the DGE Esports Club.
Chang You was in a similar situation. His hobby was to make cell phones. Now that the design plan for the new model was out, all the employees of Otto Technologies were seriously preparing for it. Yet, as the person-in-charge, Chang You, was leaving at this juncture?
This was too much!
Chang You was extremely unwilling. He just wanted to stay in Otto Technologies.
Pei Qian walked to Chang You with the trophy. "Boss Chang, congratulations! There's no need to say anything. Think about how to use the Dream Fund! "
Chang You took the trophy from Boss Pei with a bitter expression. 'Happy' was written all over his face.
What speech? Speech my foot!
