My autobiography cannot be a tragedy

Chapter 525 I love this place
Lingjing Media, the game department of "Honkai Impact 3rd".

"Ms. Duan, this is your workstation from now on. If you need anything, please let me know at any time."

After the HR lady left, Duan Xiaoyi opened her mouth wide and stroked the off-white ergonomic chair in front of her with an exaggerated look on her face.

On the spotless white desk, a monitor, laptop, keyboard and mouse are neatly placed with a whole set of brand new gaming equipment. Even all the wiring is hidden, making it look so clean and tidy...

A quick glance... Aofeng, HKC, Razer, MSI Titan...

This, this, this... This set will cost at least hundreds of thousands, right?

And this... such a long desk, it must be at least four meters long, right?
The spacious gaming department office is exceptionally bright, with Suzhou River outside the floor-to-ceiling windows. There is also a fitness area and snack area next to it, and a billiard room next door.

There are only a dozen workstations in the office area of ​​several hundred square meters.

Compared to this place, the e-sports club she stayed in before was like a slum, so dirty and messy!

Duan Xiaoyi had only seen such high-end office areas on TV in videos of international companies such as GuGe and Facebook.

This per capita usable area...what stands out is how rich he is!
"Hello, are you the new employee?"

Just as Duan Xiaoyi was still immersed in the office environment of the new company, several old employees in the office also noticed the new member here.

There are not many girls working in IT.

At this time, a cute girl with a hot body and fair skin suddenly broke into a Buddhist temple where there were more monks than monks. You can imagine the attention she attracted.

Not to mention Duan Xiaoyi’s looks, she’s just as good at fighting as her brother!
"Welcome aboard, I'm the game programmer in the department." A young man with a slightly high hairline smiled what he thought was a very charming smile.

“Hello, I’m the game designer here.”

“I’m in charge of art and sound effects.”

“I’m a content designer.”

"..."

Several colleagues introduced themselves to each other, and Duan Xiaoyi greeted them one by one. She found that the entire team was very young, with an average age of under 30.

As several men showed off intentionally or unintentionally, she realized that almost all of these "colleagues" in front of her were graduates of prestigious universities.

Basically, the double first-class graduates are worse than dogs, and there are many sea turtles. They either have experience in large companies or have outstanding achievements in the game industry...

This made Duan Xiaoyi, who was just a junior college graduate... and had just dropped out, feel a lot of pressure.

"Well... I don't know what exactly I am responsible for yet."

She already had some social anxiety and didn't know how to introduce herself.

The programmer looked at the nameplate on the table next to him.

"You should be a game tester, right? Look, it's written here."

"Ah? Really?"

Only then did Duan Xiaoyi realize that there was a nameplate on each person's workstation with their position written on it.

"Strange, HR talked to us about the specific positions before we were hired, why didn't you?"

A short-haired girl with an average appearance asked, looking at Duan Xiaoyi with a bit of hostility in her eyes.

"Uh..." Duan Xiaoyi was suddenly embarrassed.

Can she say she came in through the back door?

She didn't even go through an interview. She was just called into work after a brief phone chat with the HR. It was so smooth that even she was a little confused.

Looking at the nameplate on the table, she had a strange feeling. Could this "game tester" be tailor-made for her?

After all, the department had just been established and there wasn’t even a proper game. What kind of experience would she get from hiring a game tester now…

Apart from playing games, I know nothing about game production.

Apart from "experience", it seems that she can't do anything else...

The mood is a bit complicated.

Didn’t I expect that one day I would be able to enjoy the special treatment of “first get the carrots and then dig the holes”?

"I don't think I saw you on the day of the interview. Which group are you in?"

"You are a game tester at such a young age. You must be very famous in the industry, right?"

The one who was sarcastically aggressive was still the short-haired female colleague.

Before Duan Xiaoyi came, she was the one who was the center of attention and the darling of everyone in this Buddhist temple.

And now, she felt a strong threat.

The conflict between women is sometimes so simple...

"Hey! That's nothing. There are so many strange things happening in our department.

The game plan is completely blank, but I'll pick a name first."

"Who says it's not? I just gave it an 'open world adventure' game positioning, and everything else is up to you.

It’s really open enough…”

"Maybe it's a test from the company. They gave us a topic and asked us to answer it on a blank paper. They want to bring out the best of our talents."

"Hmm... 'Honkai Impact 3rd'. Judging from the name, it might be a popular doomsday fighting game on the market."

"It may be a civilization war. After all, there is no construction, so how can there be collapse?"

"I think it should be a city simulation game. I heard that the team at Bai Ye Ji seems to be developing a large city model."

"I think it should be a love adventure game, where you lose your mind at the end and your hatchet turns evil..."

"Ha ha!"

As if they noticed Duan Xiaoyi's embarrassment, the flower protectors started to joke and change the subject.

But anyone with a discerning eye could see that Duan Xiaoyi's onboarding process seemed different from theirs.

To put it bluntly, the position of "game tester" is dispensable.

After all, everyone here has a background in the gaming industry. How many of you don't have extensive gaming experience? Do we have to dig a hole and fill it with carrots?

Do you think the five social insurances and one housing fund you pay are too little?
Some people are already speculating about Duan Xiaoyi's background, and some are even more malicious, speculating whether the girl got into this company through unspoken workplace rules...

"Xiaoyi!" At this moment, a very familiar voice suddenly came from the door.

Everyone turned around and saw a handsome man in a casual suit standing at the door.

Even before the person arrived, the sense of threat was already overwhelming!

Could it be that someone got there first?

However, Duan Xiaoyi's next words made the men present breathe a sigh of relief.

"Brother, why are you here?"

"Can't I come to see you on your first day at work?" Duan Xian walked in front of the crowd with a smile and greeted everyone around him in a friendly manner.

"You are all Xiaoyi's colleagues, right? I don't have much experience, so I'll have to ask you to take care of me in the future."

"So you are Xiaoyi's brother. Nice to meet you! But the access control of this floor seems to refuse ordinary visitors, right? Are you also from Lingjing Media?"

"Haha! Yes, my studio is upstairs. If you don't have anything to do, you can go up and visit me."

"Upstairs...the studio?"

Before anyone understood what it meant, the girl with short hair suddenly pointed at Duan Xian with excitement.

“You…you…you are Xiaoxian?!”

Xiaoxian? A bunch of game geeks were confused.

Your moon, my heart?
The short-haired girl reminded excitedly. "Teacher Xiaoxian! Lingjing Media's only signed artist, the second male lead Lin Zhendong in Fei Chi Ren Sheng!"

After this reminder, someone finally recognized Duan Xian.

"Oh yeah! I was wondering why it looked so familiar, I just watched that movie."

"Oh~" Everyone suddenly realized.

So she's a celebrity, and the only artist signed by Lingjing Media...

Wait! The only artist?
What about the relationship with the top management of Lingjing Media? No wonder Duan Xiaoyi was able to get in without an interview.

This is a relative of a relative!

"Xiao...Xiaoxian teacher, can you sign an autograph for me? I'm your fan!
I…I actually came here to apply because I knew you were a contracted artist of Lingjing Media…"

The short-haired girl shyly handed over a small notebook.

The programmer also reacted and lifted his clothes.

"Teacher Xiaoxian, I recognized you right away, but I was so excited. Can you sign an autograph for me too? Just sign here, my abdominal muscles."

With both good looks and background, if he could win over Duan Xiaoyi, wouldn't he be able to work less for twenty years?
Then shouldn't you try to curry favor with your brother-in-law?
Others also reacted.

"That's right, Mr. Xiaoxian. I've seen several of your movies. Your acting skills are incredible!"

"Yes, yes, yes, Mr. Shi, every one of your works is my treasure!"

Duan Xiaoxian was speechless.

I just acted in one play, where do the “several” ones come from?
And that "Brother Zhenzang", what you said might easily cause misunderstanding!

Just when the "brother-in-law" was surrounded by a group of technical geeks who called him teacher, the short-haired girl approached the "sister-in-law" with an enthusiastic look on her face.

"Xiaoyi, I never thought you were Teacher Xiaoxian's sister. If you have any questions in the future, feel free to ask me.

By the way, you haven't joined the group yet? Come on, I'll scan you!"

I took out the QR code in silence, and watched the short-haired girl who had just been hostile run away happily as if she had found a treasure...

On the other side, after finally dealing with the girl-chasing scene... oh no, the star-chasing scene, Duan Xian was pulled to the door by his own sister and started to be scolded.

"Brother! Why are you running over here if nothing happened?"

"I'm here to support you. Aren't you afraid that someone will bully you?"

"But if you do this, no one will bully me anymore, but won't I really become a relative of someone else?"

"Uh... aren't you?"

Duan Xiaoyi: “…”

She gritted her teeth and glanced at the bright work area that was "incompatible" with her identity.

"Brother, I think I still can't get over it.

I don't want to be stared at in a weird way. I feel uncomfortable staying here.

You know, since I was a child, what I hate most is those who rely on connections to get things through the back door. I don’t want to become the person I hate the most.

So I've decided...I'm quitting!"

"Resign... Resign?!" Duan Xian was completely stunned.

"No, you haven't even completed the entry procedures yet, you're resigning?"

"That's even easier. I can just pick up my bag and go!"

"No, don't be impulsive. You know how much your brother owes you for this opportunity!"

"Then I can't accept it. He's being too nice to me for no reason. What if the sponsor you mentioned has other intentions towards me?

First he helped me deal with the rich second generation, then he dug a carrot hole for me...

If I really accept this, should I obey it or not?"

"Then you can't... Hey! Listen to me..."

Duan Xiaoyi made up her mind and walked straight back to her workstation to pack her bag and leave regardless of Duan Xian's advice. Unexpectedly, she ran into the HR lady who came to see her.

"Ms. Duan, I'm looking for you. Here, this is your labor contract. Please take a close look at the salary section. If you have no problem, please sign here."

"I……"

Duan Xiaoyi was about to say sorry, but when she glanced at him, his eyes suddenly became straight.

This... this this this... how many zeros are there? !

"Hmm? What's wrong with you?"

"Huh? Oh! I mean, I have absolutely no problem with that!"

"Swipe!"

Looking at Duan Xiaoyi signing his name with a flourish, Duan Xianyi's forehead was filled with black lines.

"Why don't you quit? Didn't you just say you were worried that your sponsor might do something bad to you?"

"Well! Later I thought about it, isn't it normal for men to have evil intentions when seeing a beautiful girl like me?

Since they are sincerely trying to do something bad, I have to give them some chances.

Didn't you always tell me to leave some room for each other so that we can meet again in the future?"

Duan Xian: "..."

"Didn't you also say that you couldn't stand the discriminatory looks from others and that you felt uncomfortable here?"

"Ding~" Duan Xiaoyi was about to speak when a notification sound came from her cell phone.

She picked it up and saw that it was the girl with short hair who was pulling her into the group.

She agreed without hesitation.

[Ding~ You have joined the "Loving Sisters Group"! 】

"Discrimination? Not at all! Look, the colleagues here are warm and friendly, and they speak nicely. I like it here very much!"

Duan Xian: "..."
