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

"Monkey, Xiao Liang, have you seen Slice King's latest video? Those streamers' antics are absolutely hilarious!"

"Of course I watched it! If my parents didn't forbid me from using my phone while eating, I could easily eat three bowls of rice just by watching SliceJun's videos!"

"If you could eat three bowls of rice, you wouldn't be called a monkey anymore, hahaha..."

Listening to his friends bickering and arguing in his headphones, Cai Liang shook his head helplessly. After using a single click to mine the lead ore in front of him, he controlled his character to fly quickly towards the mine exit.

"I've mined a lot of lead ore, enough to make a complete set of lead armor for the three of us."

As soon as Cai Liang finished speaking, his friend's praise immediately came through his earphones.

"Good job, Xiao Liang! With the lead suit, we can try to take on the flesh wall now!"

"Great! I can finally enter the hard mode! Compared to my classmates, I've fallen far behind!"

"It's all because you, you stinky monkey, are so bad at handling things. If you hadn't switched to better weapons and armor, you probably would have been dead the moment you met the wall of flesh."

"Fatty, you're talking nonsense!"

After another round of bickering, the three of them finally completed all the preparations before setting off.

On the way to summon the wall of flesh and blood in Hell, the monkey suddenly mentioned Teng Yan's "Atlantis".

"Hey Feibo, Xiaoliang, I heard Tengyan's 'Atlantis' got a new version yesterday, did you two know?"

"Of course, now there are videos all over the music player platform of Atlantis plagiarizing Terraria, and some bloggers have even made color palettes."

As Fei Bo's carefree voice faded, Cai Liang added another sentence.

"I don't know if Tencent's management has lost their minds. They not only copied Terraria, but they also didn't know how to make any changes. They simply copied the update content of Terraria version 1.1 verbatim into Atlantis."

Has plagiarism now reached a point where it no longer needs to be done in secret?

Not only Cai Liang couldn't understand why Tengyan would plagiarize so blatantly, but even the manager of Tengyan's product development department couldn't understand whether Xiao Qi had lost his mind.

Inside the product development department, in the manager's office.

Zhao Qin sat behind his desk, his face as dark as a black man from Africa.

However, Xiao Qi seemed oblivious to this and continued to explain himself earnestly.

"Manager Zhao, I followed your instructions exactly and completed the 2.0 version update of 'Atlantis' within the stipulated time."

"The company doesn't even praise me, why are they punishing me?"

Seeing Xiao Qi's seemingly logical and well-reasoned defense, Zhao Qin suddenly felt that the person in front of him had become a stranger.

Just a few days ago, Xiao Qi was still acting like someone who could be easily manipulated. How come he seems to have changed overnight? Not only has his verbal skills improved, but his thinking has also gradually shifted towards those old hands.

However, Zhao Qin didn't care why Xiao Qi had become like this; he just wanted to complete the mission as soon as possible and push Xiao Qi out to take the blame.

"Xiao Qi, I have seen all the contributions you have made to the company, but my power is limited. This agreement is the best I can get for you."

Take a look. If there are no problems, just sign on the last page.

Zhao Qin rubbed his temples, forcibly suppressing his inner irritation, and tried to speak in a calm tone.

He has been with Tengyan for two and a half years, but has yet to achieve any remarkable results.

I finally saw a glimmer of hope in "The Rocky Isle" and "Atlantis", but because of the people below me, that hope turned into despair.

Zhao Qin had a vague premonition that after Xiao Qi left, he might be the next person to leave Tengyan.

Seeing Zhao Qin looking preoccupied, Xiao Qi felt a strange sense of pleasure. He took two steps forward and, without even reading the agreement carefully, wrote his name in the signature column.

When Zhao Qin asked him to plagiarize Terraria version 1.1, he foresaw his fate and made preparations in advance.

There's a saying that goes, "carrying the red flag while opposing the red flag." When faced with unreasonable demands from their superiors, subordinates can achieve a form of resistance by over-executing them, leaving the superiors speechless.

Xiao Qi believes that he has perfectly put this theory into practice.

"Manager Zhao, I could be you tomorrow. But I've already found another job. Have you prepared a backup plan?"

Xiao Qi slammed the pen down on the desk, and before leaving, he couldn't resist making a sarcastic remark about Zhao Qin.

boom!

The office door was slammed shut with a loud, disturbing bang.

However, even though Xiao Qi had left the office, his words still echoed in the air.

He didn't know how much time had passed, but when Zhao Qin came to his senses, the chairman's secretary was already standing in front of his desk.

"Manager Zhao, the chairman requests your presence."

……

Inside the top-floor office of Tengyan Network Technology Co., Ltd.

The oppressive atmosphere made Zhao Qin unconsciously slow down his breathing. After hesitating for a long time, he finally mustered enough courage to walk to the chairman's desk.

"Chairman, please rest assured, I will continue to work hard and achieve results that will satisfy you!"

Zhao Qin could no longer control his vocal cords, and his voice trembled noticeably.

After a brief silence, the chairman spoke slowly. His voice, brimming with unquestionable authority, came from years of holding a high position.

"Manager Zhao, didn't I say that Tengyan will never stop operating because of the absence of a single person?"

The chairman looked up at Zhao Qin, his cloudy eyes revealing no trace of emotion.

Zhao Qin opened his mouth, but the words of pleading stuck in his throat, and he couldn't bring himself to say them.

He hadn't worked at Tengyan for very long, but he had figured out the chairman's personality.

This generation, having fought their way up in the business world, always carries a sense of decisiveness; once they make a decision, they won't easily change it.

Zhao Qin knew he would leave Tengyan sooner or later, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.

Perhaps Xiao Qi hasn't left Teng Yan's building yet.

"Understood, Chairman. I will sign the resignation agreement as soon as possible."

Instead of wasting time pleading and unrealistically hoping to change the chairman's decision, I decided to stay at Tengyan.

It's better to leave decisively; at least you'll leave with an image of being resolute.

When the chairman saw that Zhao Qin did not plead for him but agreed directly, a hint of surprise and appreciation flashed in his eyes.

However, the chairman quickly concealed this hint of surprise and admiration.

"I will give you three times the compensation. In exchange, you must take full responsibility for the plagiarism and publicly apologize to Starcard Games."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Qin abruptly raised his head.

If he really does that, it means he will be completely kicked out of the gaming industry.

After all, no game company would hire a product development manager with a history of plagiarism.

However, like Sun Dan and Xiao Qi, who were dismissed before, he had no right to bargain.

When Zhao Qin signed the resignation agreement and left the office with his packed suitcase, it was just past the end of the workday.

Having lost his position as product development manager, he no longer had the privilege of using the elevator exclusively and could only wait in line for a long time, just like other ordinary employees, before he could take a crowded elevator ride.

Upon arriving at the first floor, I was pushed and squeezed to quickly exit the elevator, and my once-sharp suit was now covered in countless wrinkles.

It's as if it's foreshadowing that his future life will be bumpy and uneven.
