Chapter 16 Backroom Dealings
"Manager Zhao, the board of directors recruited you into Tengyan because they value your past experience in leading teams successfully, and you are also young, which can bring a lot of fresh blood to Tengyan."
Inside the top-floor office of the headquarters building of Tengyan Network Technology Co., Ltd.
Zhao Qin lowered his head, like a primary school student being scolded by his teacher.
No matter what the old man behind the desk said, he dared not utter a single word in rebuttal.
"But Manager Zhao, you have greatly disappointed me, as well as many members of the board of directors!"
The old man's expression was calm, his tone indifferent, but his words were like a massive boulder, crashing heavily onto Zhao Qin, causing his back to bend slightly.
A drop of cold sweat trickled down his forehead to his chin and then fell straight to the ground.
Seeing that the old man was no longer going to say anything more, and that his body was bent even more so, with his vision almost limited to the ground and the mahogany table legs, Zhao Qin quickly explained.
"Chairman, rest assured, I will definitely deliver a satisfactory result after the Development Festival!"
Upon hearing Zhao Qin's promise, the old man did not respond, but instead continued to twirl the walnuts in his hands.
For a moment, the only sounds in the large office were the cracking sound of two walnuts rubbing against each other and Zhao Qin's increasingly heavy breathing.
Just as Zhao Qin was about to succumb to the pressure, the old man spoke.
"Manager Zhao, I know you're new to Tengyan and don't know much about the place yet, but you must remember Tengyan's rules!"
"At Tengyan, only results matter, not the process; the winner takes all, the loser is condemned!"
"I hope that next time you come to this office, you'll be able to stand up straight with confidence."
Faced with the old man's teachings, Zhao Qin repeatedly agreed, unaware that his tone was tinged with the joy of surviving a calamity.
After taking the elevator and leaving the suffocating top floor, Zhao Qin did not immediately return to the product development department, but went to the marketing department first.
He already had a way to make "The Rock Isle" successful, but before that, he needed to suppress the negative external reviews of the game to the lowest possible level.
"Manager Zhao, what brings you here?"
Sun Dan was discussing specific measures to deal with external public opinion with his colleagues in the marketing department when he saw Zhao Qin suddenly arrive, which puzzled him.
"Manager Zhao, please rest assured, my colleagues and I have discussed the general countermeasures. Before long, the negative reviews of 'The Rocky Isle' will be suppressed by us, and the impact on Tengyan's reputation will be minimized."
Although he didn't know Zhao Qin's purpose in coming, Sun Dan still reported all of his current work progress to Zhao Qin in detail.
To succeed in the workplace, what matters is not what you do, but what you let your boss know.
Zhao Qin nodded slightly. Sun Dan's work efficiency was quite good, as he was able to come up with a general plan to deal with online public opinion in just one night.
Putting aside his character, most leaders would like a subordinate like Sun Dan.
Having ambition means being driven; having emotional intelligence means understanding human relationships; having talent means being able to get things done and achieve results.
However, one cannot simply abandon the importance of character.
Therefore, Zhao Qin's attitude towards Sun Dan, this jackal, was to suppress him while simultaneously using him, and occasionally give him a sweet treat.
"Good, Xiao Sun. Try your best, along with your colleagues in the marketing department, to minimize the negative impact of 'The Rocky Isle' on the internet within two days."
After saying that, Zhao Qin didn't linger and turned to walk towards the product development department.
Behind him, Sun Dan watched him leave.
Meanwhile, Sun Dan's colleagues in the marketing department, who worked with him, felt resentful seeing him take the fruits of their collective labor to show off to the leaders, even though they weren't in the same department.
So they all subtly moved two steps away from Sun Dan.
Last night, Sun Dan gave his colleagues milk tea, coffee, and late-night snacks, thus creating a "good person" image, which has now completely collapsed in the eyes of the others.
However, Sun Dan didn't care about this.
Building good relationships with colleagues is nothing compared to making a good impression on your boss.
We're all just out here selling our time to make a living. How much do we earn in a month? Why are you engaging in office bullying?
Once he becomes a team leader, supervisor, or even a higher position, he can simply move to a private office.
Meanwhile, in the product development manager's office.
As soon as Zhao Qin sat down, he immediately picked up his cell phone from the table and made a call.
Two seconds later, the call was connected, and before the other end could speak, Zhao Qin immediately began to chat in an extremely enthusiastic tone.
"Old classmate, I heard you've already climbed to a supervisor position on the Steam platform?"
Beijing, headquarters of Steam Game Technology Co., Ltd.
Faced with Zhao Qin's sudden phone call and the extremely enthusiastic tone on the other end, Huang Ang guessed Zhao Qin's intention in just two seconds.
This old fellow must have something to ask of him!
"That's right. I was just promoted to supervisor a few days ago. Old Zhao, you're the most well-informed. You found out so quickly."
Huang Ang and Zhao Qin are not only alumni of the same university, but also roommates in the same dormitory.
During their university years, the two got along well, and they almost never missed a group project.
Besides, among the four people in the dormitory, Zhao Qin is the one who is doing the best and is also the one most likely to provide assistance to Huang Ang's future development.
Therefore, even after many years of graduation, their relationship is still quite close compared to the other roommates.
After a few brief pleasantries, Zhao Qin couldn't contain himself and got straight to the point.
"Old Huang, I won't beat around the bush. I'm here today because I need your help."
Huang Ang was already mentally prepared and didn't hesitate much, replying with a single word.
"explain!"
On the other end of the phone, Zhao Qin's face immediately lit up with joy, and he quickly stated his request.
However, Huang Ang's complexion was getting worse and worse.
"Old Zhao, I do have the authority to tamper with the backend data, but if the higher-ups find out about this, I'm afraid I won't be able to stay in the industry, let alone lose my supervisor position."
"It's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that this matter is too difficult."
After being promoted to supervisor, Huang Ang was responsible for the backend data maintenance of the steam platform.
If he wanted to do something underhanded, he could do it discreetly and almost no one would notice.
However, some things may not weigh four ounces on the scale, but they may weigh a thousand pounds on the scale.
If the matter is exposed, dismissal is the lightest punishment.
Given his relationship with Zhao Qin, it hasn't come to that point yet.
Zhao Qin had anticipated Huang Ang's refusal and quickly stated the conditions he had prepared.
"Old Huang, if you help me this time, I will not only owe you a favor, but the company will also compensate you with two million yuan."
"I remember, my sister-in-law's due date is in the next couple of days. Shouldn't you prepare more of your inheritance for your nephew?"
Zhao Qin's words struck at Huang Ang's weak point.
There was a full three minutes of silence on the other end of the phone before a deep voice slowly came through.
"The company is being strict lately, so you won't have a chance for another three days. Before that, please transfer 500,000 yuan to me."
Upon seeing that Huang Ang had agreed to his conditions, Zhao Qin could no longer suppress the smile on his face.
He didn't hesitate at all about the condition of advance payment and nodded in agreement immediately.
"Old Huang, don't worry, I'll definitely find a chance to repay this favor!"
