Reborn not to be a simp, the school beauty's whole family goes crazy

Zuo Liguo's words pleased the programmers who had gathered around, and they felt much better after facing Zuo Liguo's extreme attitude.

Wei Chen's side was even more lively, with several young programmers holding up printed code files and teasing, "Section Chief Wei! When will our online game team be able to create a masterpiece like the single-player game Diablo?"

"Our online game department is still making card and board games! They have no challenge or playability at all."

It's common knowledge that gamers are shut-ins who don't like interacting with people, don't like going out, have few friends, and certainly no harem.

Therefore, I am basically indifferent to social card and board games, and making such games would certainly be very boring for me.

Fortunately, Chen Dong didn't have high requirements for this area; he was content with just doing whatever he could to keep busy.

As long as we can develop multiple card and board games within a year of absolute flexibility, that's fine.

The timing, capital, and company size haven't arrived yet, so this online game company will just have to make do for now.

When Wei Chen took the document, he glanced at it casually, ran his fingers lightly over it, and said with a smile in his eyes, "You can't say that. Online card and board games actually have a lot of potential."

"In particular, the card and board game platform we've built so far has already had over a hundred people playing it, right? A daily active user count of one hundred is already quite good."

"You should know that President Chen already had a plan in mind. These online card and board games are just a stepping stone."

At this point, Wei Chen smiled and continued, "I just hope that next year, you won't be complaining to me about how tiring it is to work overtime all the time."

Suddenly, someone in the crowd lowered their voice and said, "I'm still in contact with a colleague who switched to Dream Company. I heard that Li Hua has already started bragging at Dream Company that he can lead his team to surpass our 361 Company."

These words were like a pebble thrown into a lake, and the surroundings instantly fell silent.

Li Weiguo snorted coldly, took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit one, and said disdainfully, "Him? He dares to brag like that, relying entirely on President Chen's ideas to make the game?"

"Now that he's left President Chen and without President Chen's planning, I'd like to see what kind of cartridge game or single-player game this ingrate Li Hua can produce."

"If we had known he was this kind of person earlier, we would have just deleted his name from the Diablo development team's interface."

“That’s right!” Zuo Liguo agreed. “At the last project meeting, he insisted on taking matters into his own hands and wanted to add something to Diablo.”

"As a result, a bug was discovered, which caused us to waste several hours finding the bug, thus delaying our production progress."

"If it weren't for our large numbers that allowed us to find this bug, we would have been killed by it."

"Does he really think our company's current size and development are all thanks to Li Hua alone? Does he think he can act all high and mighty just because he works for another company?"

Wei Chen pulled a yellowed game design document from the drawer, with coffee stains still on the edges, and chuckled, "Speaking of which, I brought something with me. Take a look at this."

As he spoke, Wei Chen spread the items out on the tabletop for everyone to see.

That was a plan for three failed cartridge games that Li Hua had spearheaded.

"Previously, President Chen trusted and cultivated Li Hua so much. This is the cartridge game Magic Continent that he led himself."

"Look at this, the copywriting is full of loopholes, the NPC dialogues are confusing to players, and the plot and gameplay are garbage."

"The kids who were led to this game didn't even know what kind of game it was."

"Now that he's jumping ship to Dream Company, I doubt he can even write a proper project proposal."

A dozen or so veteran programmers immediately burst into laughter, their laughter tinged with disdain for Li Hua, and perhaps also with jealousy.

Li Weiguo stubbed out his cigarette, the ash falling into the ashtray as he chuckled, "Forget it, just as President Chen said, everyone has their own ambitions, let him be."

"Once we finish and launch the games we have, we can compare them and he'll know his own worth."

Li Weiguo's words were met with widespread agreement.

Zuo Liguo patted his chest and said confidently, "If we ever have the chance to meet or compete against each other in the future, we'll throw the sales report in his face and make him regret it."

The group of programmers chatted and laughed, causing Li Li, the HR manager who hadn't left yet, to shake her head slightly.

Logically speaking, since these people aren't working and are just chatting and bragging, she, as the HR manager, should say a few words.

However, Li Li didn't say anything.

Now is the time for Li Weiguo, Zuo Liguo, and Wei Chen to get promoted and receive a raise, so let them be happy for an hour.

Check back in an hour later. If they're still the same, then try to restrain them.

......

On the other side, the game development department of Dream Company.

Li Hua, the newly appointed manager who jumped ship from 361 Inc., was wearing a new suit and had a very smug and beaming face.

"Manager, I've finally become a department manager! This is the position I've always dreamed of!"

Li Hua stood in front of his desk, touching his chair and his desktop.

A private office, having your own private office! This is something Li Hua never enjoyed when he was at 361job.

If I could get a slightly larger, flat desk in the common office area, separated by a half-meter-high partition, that would be my old private office environment as the head of the game department.

Compare those conditions to your current conditions—a 20-square-meter office!

Sofa, coffee table, water dispenser, and printer are all available.

This is the kind of treatment a manager should enjoy!

"President Chen, you can't blame me for leaving 361 Company to join Dream Company. It's just that you're too stingy."

"Even for long-time employees like me, they are unwilling to give me too much power and benefits. They are clearly the boss, but they control the programming department and have never separated the game department to form an independent game department."

"And there were just too many Dream Company companies, so they directly made me a manager."

Li Hua turned around in a circle, becoming more and more satisfied with his office.

This was a time before the future; in some respectable companies, managers were still quite valuable.

Unlike later generations, where any salesperson could be given the title of manager but was actually just a low-level wage slave.

The so-called managers only receive a base salary of a few hundred yuan.

Li Hua is a manager with real power!
