Chapter 192 The Interview

Xia Jiang: "So, you left Tenda because you got the Dream Fund."

Huang Sibo nodded: "That's right."

"When I first got the money, I was a little dazed, because I never thought I would have so much money in my hands."

"I thought for a long time about what I should do."

"After repeated consideration, I found that what I really liked wasn't the game industry."

"When *Fortress of the Sea* became popular, I did think about working in the game industry for the rest of my life, but after getting this money, I thought about it carefully and realized that what I really wanted to do was the film and television industry."

"So, I used the money to set up Feihuang Studio, found a like-minded good friend Zhu Xiaoce, and started a brand-new journey in my life."

Xia Jiang: "So, it can be said that this money changed your life."

Huang Sibo nodded: "That's right. This money allowed me to truly understand myself, find my interests, and find the direction I am willing to work hard for my whole life."

"Even now, I am very grateful for the Excellent Employee Award and the Dream Fund."

"This is not just a start-up fund, it also allows me to better understand myself. It can be said that without this Excellent Employee Award, there would be no me now, and there would be no Feihuang Studio, as well as a series of excellent video works such as *Péi Zǒng's Daily Life* and *Breaking Through the Cocoon*."

...

The more Péi Qian listened, the more he felt that something was wrong with this interview.

Indeed, Péi Qian himself was not mentioned throughout the interview. Except for the name of the short video *Péi Zǒng's Daily Life*, the words "Péi Zǒng" never appeared.

But in what Huang Sibo said, there was obviously an "invisible person" present!

Who was it that brushed off the seemingly experienced Lao Liu during the interview and hired Huang Sibo, whose resume was not good?

Who directly doubled Huang Sibo's salary?

Tenda's working environment is very good, because of whom?

Huang Sibo didn't understand the three requirements of *Fortress of the Sea* at the beginning, so who came up with them?

And who paid for a Dream Fund to let Huang Sibo leave Tenda Games and create Feihuang Studio?

Obviously, behind this series of questions, there was vaguely a person pointing to it.

The boss behind Tenda!

That is Péi Qian himself.

Although Péi Qian was not mentioned in a single word throughout the interview, this "blank space" allowed the audience to feel that there was a certain existence that had been influencing Huang Sibo in the dark, playing a very crucial role in his growth.

This kind of role is called "pointing out the way"!

After listening to this interview, people would be left with such an impression.

Huang Sibo is indeed a talent. He is young, but he has been able to complete so many projects in a row. Whether he is making games or short videos, he can make a name for himself.

However, such a talent was originally buried.

If this "invisible person" hadn't been a Bole (talent scout) to discover Huang Sibo and point out a clear path for him, then Huang Sibo would most likely have been buried as well, at least not to the extent of shining so brightly in just one year.

The greater possibility is that he would be "subjected to the hands of slaves, and die together in the manger, and not be known for his ability to travel a thousand *lǐ*."

As the saying goes, a *qiānlǐmǎ* (a horse that can travel a thousand *lǐ* in a day) is common, but a Bole is rare.

Huang Sibo's outstanding achievements did prove that he was a *qiānlǐmǎ*.

However, the content of the interview further proved the importance of Bole!

Péi Qian felt cold sweat dripping down his head.

It seemed that the situation was a little wrong!

These two people were singing in harmony, cooperating very well!

Péi Qian originally thought that Huang Sibo would seize this opportunity to show his face and boast about his achievements in front of the reporter, without mentioning Péi Zǒng at all.

However, Péi Qian only guessed half right.

Huang Sibo did not mention Péi Zǒng, but the achievements he mentioned all belonged to Péi Zǒng!

The effect of this statement was even more obvious than directly praising him!

Péi Qian quickly looked down.

...

The second employee interviewed was Bao Xu.

The above also clearly stated Bao Xu's resume, from the initial internet addict to the game concept design of *Fortress of the Sea*, and then to the detail adjustments of multiple games, Bao Xu has become a pillar of Tenda Games.

Although the content of the interview was completely different from that of Huang Sibo, the feeling was exactly the same!

"I heard that you used to be an internet addict in the eyes of everyone, and you lived in internet cafes all year round. Is this an exaggeration, or..." Xia Jiang asked.

Bao Xu smiled embarrassedly: "This is true, there is no exaggeration at all."

"I used to live in an internet cafe for four or five months in a row, from the end of winter to the beginning of spring to summer, without returning to my dormitory once."

"Everyone in the internet cafe had already changed into shorts and short sleeves, but I was still wearing a sweater and wool pants."

Xia Jiang's eyes widened slightly, her face full of disbelief: "Then how did you take a bath?"

Bao Xu shook his head: "I didn't take a bath."

"Brush your teeth?"

"I didn't brush my teeth. At most, I would go to the internet cafe's bathroom to wash my face and rinse my mouth."

"What if you were sleepy?"

"I would put the chairs in the internet cafe together and sleep for a while at night, and if I was sleepy during the day, I would lean on the chair and take a nap."

"Can you afford the internet fees and living expenses?"

"I worked as a substitute player and resold equipment online. Usually, I didn't have any other expenses besides the internet fee. If I was hungry, I would eat a bowl of instant noodles to deal with it. If I was really hungry, I would order takeout and eat something good. The money was barely enough."

The shock on Xia Jiang's face was beyond words: "Then, your personal hygiene and health problems, I'm afraid..."

Bao Xu smiled again: "Very bad. But at that time, I didn't really care about these."

"Recently, I have also seen a lot of news about people dying suddenly in internet cafes. Now that I think about it, I am very lucky that I didn't die suddenly."

Xia Jiang continued to ask: "Then why do you think you fell into this kind of life?"

"Is it so-called 'internet addiction'?"

Bao Xu was silent for a moment, then replied: "More of a kind of confusion about the future, and a loss of goals."

"At that time, there was nothing else that could stimulate me except surfing the internet and playing games. I wasn't interested in other things. Even if I walked out of the internet cafe, there was nowhere to go. Over time, it became a vicious cycle."

"Looking back now, if that situation had continued, I might have been useless long ago."

Xia Jiang asked in a timely manner: "So, how did things change?"

Bao Xu recalled the scene at that time: "Someone found me in the internet cafe and said they wanted to invite me to design a game together."

"At first, I didn't believe it, but he was very sincere and directly threw me five hundred yuan, telling me that the company had top-of-the-line computers and dual monitors, and I could play games as much as I wanted."

"Five hundred yuan is not much, but... it was the first time I felt that I was valued and appreciated. At that time, I felt that I was not a useless person who was only good at playing games."

"So, I walked out of the internet cafe."

"It's just that I didn't expect at that time that my life would change because of this."

Xia Jiang asked again: "You are considered a very good old employee within Tenda Games. It is said that you have won the second place in the 'Best Employee' selection twice, and the reward is a month of paid vacation. How do you feel about this reward?"

Bao Xu smiled slightly bitterly: "My feeling is that I regret it very much."

Xia Jiang was stunned: "Regret?"

Bao Xu nodded: "Yes, I regret being selected."

Xia Jiang couldn't help but laugh: "This is really hard to understand. I think most people would laugh out loud if they had a similar opportunity for paid travel, right?"

Bao Xu shook his head helplessly: "But I really don't want to go out. I would rather work at the company than run around everywhere."

Xia Jiang: "But you still went."

Bao Xu nodded: "Yes, I wanted to give up and let this vacation be postponed to the next person, but... the system is the system and cannot be changed."

Xia Jiang felt quite novel: "This is the first time I have heard of such a thing."

"The company arranges a whole month of paid travel for its employees, not only paying their salaries, but also reimbursing all travel expenses."

"The employee doesn't want to go and hopes to transfer it to someone else."

"The company doesn't even agree to the transfer!"

"If I hadn't heard you say it with my own ears, I would have thought it was a very clumsy lie."

Bao Xu spread his hands, showing his helplessness.

There was nothing he could do, these were all his heartfelt words.

"I think this is a bit unnecessary. If you voluntarily transfer it, why not approve it?" Xia Jiang asked.

Bao Xu thought for a while and said, "I think maybe this is good for me too."

"Actually, I was very resistant to going out at first, but after going out twice, everyone said that my complexion had obviously improved and my body was much healthier."

"I think maybe it's precisely because I really need to go out that the transfer is not allowed."

"This should also be a kind of concern for the employees. Although I am a little resistant, I also know in my heart that this is right."

...

Next up were interviews with Lin Wan, Lü Mingliang, and other employees.

Everyone's resume can be described as brilliant and dazzling.

Lin Wan, as the director, participated in the research and development of *Blood Battle Song: Power Enhanced Edition*, and it was her decision to turn this game into a mobile game.

Lü Mingliang is the producer of *Game Producer*, and he is also the voice actor for the cheap-talking narrator in it. Now he is responsible for the business of Nifeng Logistics.

The interviews with these two people were similar to those with Huang Sibo. Behind their successful development of these two games, there was also an "invisible person" who was constantly pointing them in the right direction.

And after these two interviews, Xia Jiang also made a summary.

"Four excellent Tenda employees are just outstanding representatives of the hundreds of excellent employees at Tenda."

"They have different personalities, different resumes, and different positions."

"But without a doubt, they are all very talented people!"
