Have you ever made games? Then you should write about games!

An ordinary Tuesday.

Zhao Qin arrived at the company on time as usual.

However, as soon as he returned to the office, the wooden door was pushed open.

The person who came was the chairman's secretary, who always liked to look up at people, even when facing Zhao Qin.

"Manager Zhao, the chairman is looking for you."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Qin's heart skipped a beat.

As Zhao Qin walked out of the office and headed to the top floor of the company building, a smile spread across his face as he tried to extract some useful information from his secretary.

However, apart from saying one sentence when informing Zhao Qin, the secretary ignored Zhao Qin once more.

Seeing that his efforts had been met with indifference, Zhao Qin wasn't annoyed. He chuckled twice and then said nothing more.

He lowered his head, secretly wondering why the chairman had called him in.

Beep—We've reached the top floor.

As soon as he stepped out of the elevator and onto the company's top floor, Zhao Qin inexplicably felt an invisible pressure pressing down on him, causing his back to involuntarily hunch over.

Beside him, the chairman's secretary no longer had a stern face, but instead showed a hint of awe.

Leading Zhao Qin through the corridor, the secretary knocked on the sandalwood door and spoke respectfully.

"Chairman, Manager Zhao is here."

"Come in."

From inside the door, a voice, aged yet dignified, rang out.

"Manager Zhao, please."

With the chairman's approval, the secretary opened the heavy wooden door and gestured for him to enter.

Zhao Qin nodded, swallowed hard, and slowly walked into the office.

Looking at the chairman sitting behind his desk, engrossed in handling company affairs, Zhao Qin's posture hunched over with each step he took.

By the time Zhao Qin stood next to the desk, his back was already bent at a noticeable angle.

The chairman seemed oblivious to Zhao Qin sitting at the table, engrossed in flipping through the documents in his hands, occasionally signing his name in the blank spaces.

For a moment, the only sounds in the spacious office were the rustling of papers and the scratching of pens on white paper.

I don't know how much time has passed.

The chairman picked up the last document, glanced through it briefly, and then signed his name.

Click.

In the quiet office, even the slightest sound of a pen being put down was incredibly noticeable.

"Manager Zhao, I've seen the recent online discussions."

Upon hearing the chairman speak, Zhao Qin's body trembled slightly. He quickly looked up to explain, but met the chairman's calm and profound gaze.

The words were on the tip of his tongue, but he couldn't get them out no matter how long he tried.

The chairman bent his fingers and tapped rhythmically on the mahogany tabletop, speaking in a deep voice.

"Heroes are as numerous as carp crossing a river, and Tengyan will not stop operating because of the lack of any one person."

On the contrary, it is possible that because of a certain person, Teng Yan will be dragged into the abyss step by step.

I hope Manager Zhao understands what I mean.

The chairman's words were easy to understand, and Zhao Qin quickly realized that the chairman was referring to Sun Dan, one of his subordinates.

Zhao Qin nodded quickly, "Chairman, rest assured, I understand what you mean."

Upon seeing Zhao Qin's quick understanding, the chairman nodded slightly and said a few more words.

"Make him sign a confidentiality agreement before he leaves, so that he doesn't speak recklessly and ruin Teng Yan's reputation."

"As for the competition on the steam platform, you can just find someone from the company to go with you."

As soon as he finished speaking, the chairman picked up the cup next to him and took a sip.

Zhao Qin understood perfectly well that this meant he was being asked to leave. After making several promises, he turned and quickly left.

……

"What?! Teng Yan has decided to fire me?!"

In the product development department manager's office, Sun Dan, like a raging bull, glared angrily at Zhao Qin, who was sitting in a chair.

"Hey Zhao, get this straight, 'Yan Du Yu' is mine, and I was the one who kicked those three burdens out. I've done so much for Teng Yan, why is Teng Yan firing me?!"

Sun Dan slammed his hand on the desk, causing the documents and pen holders on the desk to fall to the ground.

Looking at Sun Dan's face, which had become ferocious due to excessive anger, Zhao Qin remained calm, spreading his hands with a helpless expression.

"This is the chairman's decision, and there's nothing I can do to help you."

"In addition, the chairman asked me to give you a confidentiality agreement, which I hope you can sign before you leave the company."

As he spoke, Zhao Qin took out a confidentiality agreement from the drawer and slammed it on the table.

"Sign it, and Tengyan will give you 500,000 yuan as compensation."

"This amount is not small, and it's the best I can get for you within my authority."

Seeing Zhao Qin's hypocritical act of doing what was best for him, Sun Dan was so angry that he laughed instead.

"I see, you're just killing the dog after the rabbit is caught."

Zhao Qin's expression remained unchanged, showing no sign of agreement or disagreement.

Sun Dan wanted to slap the confidentiality agreement on Zhao Qin's hypocritical face, then turn and walk out of the office.

However, he knew in his heart that once he did that, with Teng Yan's strength, there would be no place for him in the gaming industry.

then.

Sun Dan could only suppress the raging anger in his heart, pick up a pen, and sign his name on the confidentiality agreement.

Upon seeing that the mission was completed, a hint of joy flashed in Zhao Qin's eyes.

Standing up, Zhao Qin extended his right hand.

"Brother Sun, if there is an opportunity in the future, you are welcome to continue cooperating with Teng Yan."

Ignoring Zhao Qin's pretense, Sun Dan threw down his pen and stormed out of the office.

Zhao Qin did not care about Sun Dan's rude behavior.

He originally thought that given Sun Dan's personality, completing the task assigned by the chairman might not be a simple matter.

Unexpectedly, Sun Dan was so conscientious, which saved him a lot of trouble.

After carefully putting away the confidentiality agreement signed by Sun Dan, Zhao Qin slowly walked out of the office and made a round of inspections of the department.

He needs to find a raccoon dog to replace Sun Dan, the "crown prince," and accompany him to the game producer conference held by the Steam platform two days later.

Ultimately, Zhao Qin set his sights on Xiao Qi within his department.

If his memory serves him correctly, Xiao Qi's job application listed his father as seriously ill and bedridden, his mother as a street sweeper, and his younger sister as a high school student.

In the eyes of any leader, such an employee is undoubtedly a highly sought-after asset.

Having a weakness means having a vulnerability, so naturally one dares not resist arbitrarily.

In addition, employees with no background or connections can be used as scapegoats when the company needs them, without incurring much cost.

Zhao Qin slowly walked to Xiao Qi's workstation, tapped the table, and said softly.

"Xiao Qi, I have a very important project, and after observing for a long time, I believe you are the best candidate to be in charge of this project in the department. I wonder if you are willing and interested."

Don't worry, if you encounter any difficulties, I will definitely not make things difficult for you.

Xiao Qi never imagined that one day, a windfall would fall from the sky, and he would nod repeatedly like a chick pecking at rice.

"No problem, manager, don't worry, I will definitely be able to complete this project."

And I also believe that it's time for me to shoulder more responsibility.
