“Are you all here? Let's start the meeting.”

Pei Qian walked straight to the conference room.

The others hurriedly stood up and followed Wang Xiaobin into the conference room.

Soon, everyone sat down, upright and serious.

Ye Zhizhou couldn't help but sigh.

Look at that, that's presence!

Before, when Old Liu held meetings, everyone seemed obedient, but no one really took Old Liu seriously.

They were all just coasting, getting by, and when work was assigned, they'd just do a mediocre job.

After all, everyone knew very well that no matter how hard they worked in this environment, it was useless.

But now, everything was completely different.

To think that President Pei, as a new boss, hadn't said a word and had already earned everyone's respect and recognition from the bottom of their hearts, was truly amazing.

Pei Qian shifted in his chair a few times, feeling a little uncomfortable on his backside.

It could only be said that Shang Yang Games was stingy; from the office chairs to the conference room chairs, they were all cheap and uncomfortable to sit on.

"Luckily, I negotiated a 400,000 discount with Du Ruijie; I can use that to supplement these people's salaries and replace the desks and chairs."

"Once the funds are a little more abundant, I'll have to find some time to give Shang Yang Games a major overhaul; that would also be a good way to spend money before the settlement."

The uncomfortable chair made Pei Qian even more determined to quickly assign tasks and leave this place.

Pei Qian looked at Lao Li and pretended that he was in a hurry.

In reality, he didn't have anything to do today; he was planning to catch up on sleep.

"Time is short, so I'll just say a few points."

Hearing "a few points," everyone straightened their backs even more and prepared for a long lecture.

After all, a leader's "a few points" often lasted for several hours.

Pei Qian looked around at everyone, "Who is Ye Zhizhou?"

Ye Zhizhou was suddenly stunned.

What does this mean!

Why is President Pei calling my name as the first thing at the meeting?

Ye Zhizhou quickly stood up, "President Pei, I'm here!"

Pei Qian was a little unaccustomed to it, and quickly waved his hand to let him sit down, "Sit down and talk."

He turned his head to look at the current lead planner and numerical planner, Wang Xiaobin, "Wang Xiaobin, numerical planning work is more important, and serving as both numerical planner and lead planner, I feel you might be a bit overwhelmed."

"From now on, Ye Zhizhou is the lead planner of Shang Yang Games. Wang Xiaobin, you need to cooperate well with his work."

As Pei Qian spoke, he silently observed the expressions of Wang Xiaobin and Ye Zhizhou.

Ye Zhizhou was completely dumbfounded.

Wang Xiaobin was stunned for a moment, and then… a slight smile appeared on his face?

Although the smile was tinged with a bit of worry, it was definitely a sincere smile.

Huh?

This isn't how the script is supposed to go, right?

Pei Qian originally thought that removing Wang Xiaobin, who had just become the lead planner, would result in an expression ranging from astonishment to shock, then to confusion, and finally to begging…

But none of that happened; Wang Xiaobin was actually a little happy?

There wasn't even a palace drama…

Annoying.

Pei Qian observed the reactions of the others, and a few of the older employees looked visibly unhappy.

This was normal; Ye Zhizhou had only been here for a few months, replacing Huang Sibao as an executive planner. He had no ability and no experience; who would be convinced by him?

Wang Xiaobin was happy to hear that he was being removed mainly because he felt that he was not up to the task and was afraid of messing things up.

In fact, he didn't think that Ye Zhizhou was capable of being the lead planner either, so his smile was tinged with worry.

Wang Xiaobin was not a very ambitious person, which was why he was so calm.

But the other old employees were different.

Why should this young whippersnapper be the lead planner? Why not me?

The expressions on their faces were quite interesting.

Pei Qian nodded silently; sure enough, this was the right reaction.

Internal strife!

Internal strife!

Internal strife!

Pei Qian's heart was actually a little elated.

But then he thought about it, it seemed a little boring like this.

These people were all colleagues before, familiar faces who saw each other every day. Just being jealous probably wouldn't make the conflict intense enough.

He had to stimulate them a little more.

Pei Qian thought for a while and added, "Ye Zhizhou, you have one no-reason dismissal quota each month. If you want to dismiss someone, just send me a message."

Ye Zhizhou was even more dumbfounded.

This is a supreme sword!

And it's not just snitching, it's a no-reason dismissal. As long as you send President Pei this person's name, this person will immediately pack up and leave.

Pei Qian glanced at the several older employees who had been looking grim-faced earlier and found that their expressions were even uglier.

Good, that's the effect he wanted.

A lead planner who couldn't convince the others, and who also held power in his hands, would definitely start by making things difficult for the older employees who had bullied him before, lording it over them, and even using the dismissal of colleagues to establish his authority.

Over time, morale would collapse, and Ye Zhizhou would be isolated into a lone commander, leaving behind a mess with no way to solve it…

Hmm, the script is very good!

Pei Qian looked at his watch; time was tight.

Although everyone's expressions were particularly interesting, the processes he had to go through still had to be done quickly, after all, he was still rushing back to take a nap.

"Next, Shang Yang Games will implement a two-step strategy."

"The first step is to modify the current two games, cutting off all the monetization points, leaving only one. As for how to cut them and how to keep one, Ye Zhizhou, you decide that yourself."

"The second step is for everyone to come up with a game proposal and create a design draft. I will choose one as Shang Yang Games' new project."

"Hmm… until the end of June, you will mainly be executing the first step."

"When July comes, submit your proposals and officially launch the new project."

Pei Qian's gaze swept across the room, "Any questions?"

Ye Zhizhou was the first to raise his hand.

Pei Qian ignored him directly and nodded, "Very good, meeting adjourned."

President Pei stood up and left in a carefree manner.

Leaving Ye Zhizhou standing there with his hand raised in mid-air.

The others were also dumbfounded.

President Pei said "just a few points," and he really just said a few points?

Adding them all together, it wasn't even ten sentences…

Ye Zhizhou just wanted to immediately reject the job of lead planner, but President Pei seemed to have seen through his thoughts and didn't take the bait at all, just left directly.

Now, Ye Zhizhou could feel the gazes of several older employees looking at him with ill intent, making him feel like he was sitting on pins and needles.

The atmosphere in Shang Yang Games was originally like a stagnant pool, but now it was like pouring oil on a raging fire, gradually boiling over.

…

Leaving Shang Yang Games, Pei Qian was in a good mood.

Well, there shouldn't be any problems now!

Although Old Liu was gone, promoting an executive planner who had only been in the industry for a short time to lead planner should be able to achieve the same result as Old Liu, right?

Moreover, this two-step strategy also guaranteed continued losses for a period of time in the future.

First of all, in order to prevent *Fengliu Daoshi* (Carefree Taoist) and *Rexue Zhange* (Hot-Blooded Battle Song) from making a comeback, he would cut off all the monetization points and leave only one, ensuring that these two games would not make any money.

Then, they would brainstorm ideas for a game and have each person write a proposal.

Pei Qian was still considering whether to choose the worst proposal to work on, or to randomly pick one?

After briefly considering it, Pei Qian decided to randomly pick one.

After all, he no longer trusted his own judgment.

Every time he tried to make a terrible game, the result was a huge success; this was a bit uncomfortable.

*The Lonely Desert Road* and *Game Producer* had already taught him enough lessons.

Therefore, Pei Qian decided to draw lots directly, whatever he drew was what he got.

Of course, if it was a really good proposal, Pei Qian would draw again.

In addition to this, Pei Qian would never go to Shang Yang Games again, minimizing his influence on the company as much as possible, turning it completely into a chaotic dark forest, returning to the most primitive jungle rules.

When it became a mess, and Ye Zhizhou couldn't command them, that would be perfect.

In this way, everything should be foolproof on the Shang Yang Games side… right?
