Chapter 175: Unethical Company
New Year's Eve.

Kang Ming returned home feeling a little tired.

My body was exhausted, and my spirit wasn't much better either.

Just walked in the door.

He swore to himself.

This is the last time I go shopping with a woman in my life!
"Why, are you so unhappy about accompanying your mother and sister to buy New Year's goods?"

As if noticing Kang Ming's expression, a girl who looked much younger than Kang Ming followed in and said in a displeased tone, "You have to know that you just had your day off yesterday, and I spent three whole days shopping with Mom."

Kang Ming was silent for a moment after hearing this, then asked quietly, "It's been three days, why haven't you bought everything yet?"

"How are we two weak women supposed to carry those big things back?"

Kang Yu said confidently: "How can we survive without you, the ox and horse?"

"..."

Kang Ming was too lazy to pay attention to his sister.

"And you've been so abnormal in the second half of the year."

Kang Yu paused, then suddenly said, "You go to work with a smile every day... After you come back, you often lock yourself in your room, fiddling with something. You didn't even complain when you got your holiday almost before the New Year. Mom and I are very worried about your mental state, so this is a good time for you to relax."

"what?"

Hear this.

Kang Ming had no choice but to keep silent.

"A Ming, are you doing some weird job?"

At this time, a middle-aged woman came in carrying a plastic bag and took over Kang Yu's conversation. After closing the door, she looked at her son with a worried look on her face: "When you just graduated, you said you couldn't find a job you liked. I asked you to go to your uncle's place, but you said you didn't like it. Then you said you found an editing job, but you quit after working for only two days.

But after you left your job, you said you were going to start a business with your friends. But starting a business isn't that easy to succeed. What kind of company is it? Is it one of those shady ones? Why are you so excited lately?"

Kang Ming was a little amused and confused when he heard this: "Mom, how did you come to the conclusion that my company is not legitimate?"

"You've been so excited lately. This is the first time I've seen you so engrossed."

Kang Ming's mother shook her head. "I know your personality. You were already a big deal when you landed that last editing job, but you barely lasted a month... Now, I don't understand what kind of games you're working on, and you never told us..."

"Seriously, I'm just excited because I like it."

Kang Ming didn't expect his mother to have so many wild thoughts. Feeling somewhat helpless, he explained, "Have you heard of Avalon? It's a gaming company that's become quite famous in the gaming world recently."

Her mother and sister looked bewildered.

After all, both of them are the kind of people who are completely insulated from games.

Kang Ming was even more helpless: "Anyway, it's a well-known company in the gaming field, and it's in a period of rapid growth."

"Brother, you won't be fooled by others, right?"

Hear this.

Kang Yu glanced at his brother suspiciously and said abruptly, "What do you mean by a rapid growth period? Isn't that just your boss's rhetoric? You didn't just join a semi-MLM company, did you? I heard that people like you who aren't very smart are easily deceived.

Especially since you've just graduated, you're the perfect target for those unscrupulous bosses. They'll just say something like the company is still struggling but the future will be better, and then you'll just work your ass off, thinking you're making the effort while the boss reaps the benefits. Only when you're owed wages do you finally realize you've been scammed...

Your symptoms are really similar, you look like you've been brainwashed.

Actually, this is the scariest thing. If you get scammed, you'll only lose a little time, and your time isn't valuable... But what we're most worried about is whether you're doing something illegal. You've been talking about card fighting all the time. Is that some kind of online gambling platform? If you go to jail, your life will be over."

Upon hearing this, Kang's mother also looked at her son worriedly.

"..."

Kang Ming was a little confused, thinking of the boss who was even more aggressive than himself, the beautiful boss who handed in two full pages of revised draft after playing the new "Dou Pai" DEMO once.

Sit back and enjoy the fruits of others’ labor?

The staff were almost ashamed of themselves.

And it was probably because Kang Ming remained silent.

Kang Yu raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do you feel something is wrong?"

"..."

Kang Ming came back to his senses and said with a wry smile, "You're overthinking it. This is a legitimate company. They pay us a salary every month, and it's quite high. At least I think it's quite high for a college student like me with no experience. As for card fighting, that's our company's second game, not some online gambling platform."

But when I said the last sentence.

Kang Ming felt a little guilty because at the beginning he almost did it... if Tang Yao hadn't reminded him.

He hasn't told his parents or sister about this yet.

This is the case for most families in China: they might be willing to share many things with strangers online, but find it difficult to share them with their closest family members. Furthermore, after Kang Ming graduated, he took a long break due to health reasons.

He still felt a little guilty about relying on his parents for that period of time, but he also didn't want his sister to look down on him.

So how could I possibly say that the battle platform I created almost got me into trouble...

As for his later joining Avalon, because it was such a makeshift team in the early stages, no one knew whether the game would be successful. In order not to worry the two, he did not go into details.

Later, when FGO became successful, his salary skyrocketed and he became busy again. Besides, he was not the kind of person who liked to publicize everything, so he did not sit down and talk to the two of them about his work.

did not expect.

It actually caused them to have such a misunderstanding.

"Tall? How tall?"

Kang Yu became even more suspicious when he saw the guilty look on his brother's face.

Kang Ming knew he had to explain clearly, so he replied, "A little over 50,000... and that's assuming the salary structure hasn't been adjusted. I heard the finance and HR departments were just established, so they won't be fully adjusted until next year."

"..."

Hear this.

Kang Yu looked his brother up and down and asked suspiciously, "You? A month's time is worth over 50,000? A training scroll? The kind that takes three months to redeem?"

"?"

No.

Kang Ming slowly put up a question mark.

Is this your biological sister?
Kang Ming laughed angrily, took out his phone and said, "Why would I lie to you? Do you want to see the incoming text message?"

just.

He just took out his cell phone.

Ding--

There was a crisp sound.

A new text message has arrived.

Kang Ming widened his eyes slightly, staring at the phone screen with a look of disbelief, and froze in place.

"Show it to me, you're not going to delete it, are you?"

Kang Yu saw that Kang Ming was as if he was under a spell and could not move. Thinking that he could not get it out, he quickly moved closer and looked at his screen.

On the other side, Kang's mother moved forward worriedly and looked at her son's mobile phone screen.

then.

The two of them seemed to be under a spell of immobilization and could not move.

Because Kang Ming’s mobile phone showed a bank deposit information.

【您尾号1434的账户于09:30:45完成入账交易，金额为人民币114，0000.00元，备注为“年度年终奖”。当前账户可用余额……】

"One, two, three... one million and fourteen thousand!? Bro!? What is this? What did you do!?"

Kang Yu slowly raised his head and looked at his brother in surprise.

On the other side, Kang's mother was not in a much better condition and she took a deep breath.

"Isn't it written above? The annual year-end bonus..."

Kang Ming murmured, "Before the holiday, the company mentioned that they would try to give us the year-end bonus before the New Year. I didn't expect it to be today..."

"Year-end bonus!? That high!? How many months' salary is that?"

"It seems like twenty months..."

"twenty………"

Kang Yu was completely overwhelmed by the simple figures of money. She was dizzy. She looked at her brother who seemed to be going bald and was not handsome. She really couldn't connect him with the words "million-dollar year-end bonus" and asked: "Do you deserve it? What company do you work for?!"

No.

Isn't this an unscrupulous company?
Isn’t my brother brainwashed?
Isn't it too expensive to brainwash over one million people?

Is it really a legitimate company?

But a serious company gives such a high year-end bonus! ?
