Shang Yang Games.

After the explosive success of the mobile version of "Blood War Song," Shang Yang Games had undergone earth-shattering changes.

The biggest change was in the office environment.

Before, Shang Yang Games, like most startup game companies, had a rather crude working environment. The cubicles were very crowded, the office furniture was cheap, and even the company's cleanliness relied entirely on the employees' conscientiousness, as they couldn't bear to hire a cleaning lady.

But now, the office environment had undergone a complete makeover!

The original office space had been sublet, and the entire Shang Yang Games had collectively moved to another high-end office building nearby.

The office furniture and computers were all purchased uniformly, matching the standards of the parent company, Tengda.

The cubicles were spacious, the computer configurations were high, and the company also had a water bar, snack area, fitness equipment, a game room, and so on.

Lin Wan was very proud of this.

This was all money earned by Shang Yang Games itself!

The mobile version of "Blood War Song" was launched on September 20th and had been running for more than a month, bringing Shang Yang Games nearly five to six million in net income.

Although the game had very few paid elements, it couldn't withstand the large number of players and their extremely strong continuous spending ability.

In addition, Shenhua Game Platform treated Shang Yang Games extremely favorably, with a revenue split of 90/10.

So even after deducting taxes, company's daily operations, employee salaries, and the cost of renting cloud servers, Shang Yang Games could still net one to two million per week.

Lin Wan had originally wanted to hand this money over directly, so that Shang Yang Games could proudly show off within the Tengda Group, but President Pei rejected it on the spot.

"Shang Yang Games is exactly at the time when it needs to spend money, don't you have any long-term goals?"

"Is the office environment good enough?"

"Are the employee benefits up to Tengda's standards?"

"Everyone has worked so hard for so long, shouldn't they be given a bonus to reward them properly?"

"You should first take care of all the places where Shang Yang Games needs to spend money, and then consider turning in the profits!"

These were President Pei's original words.

Lin Wan had no choice but to give up. In the past month, she had been thinking about how to improve the office space for Shang Yang Games.

Pei Qian was a little worried at first, afraid that Lin Wan would be reluctant to spend money, but after quietly inquiring about it after a while, he realized that he was worrying too much.

Worrying about others being reluctant to spend money was okay, but worrying about Lin Wan being reluctant to spend money? He was thinking too much!

Lin Wan really did follow Tengda's standards completely, without any discounts!

Pei Qian saw it in his eyes and was happy in his heart.

As expected, the rich second generation was different!

Pei Qian was very clear that Lin Wan was now in a very inflated stage. She had just created a game that could steadily earn more than five million a month, creating a new cash cow for Tengda.

If it were someone else, they might be more frugal and save the money.

But Lin Wan was clearly not that kind of person. She directly opened up and spent lavishly, filling all kinds of employee benefits for Shang Yang Games.

Anyway, the money could be earned again after it was spent!

That's what Lin Wan thought.

Therefore, the current Shang Yang Games had aligned its various benefits with Tengda's.

The employees of Shang Yang Games had finally enjoyed the same treatment as Tengda's own children.

At this time, Hao Qiong was slumped in a comfortable ergonomic chair, aimlessly browsing the web.

He really had nothing to do!

As an employee who had just joined Shang Yang Games not long ago, Hao Qiong could be said to have caught up with all the good things. Shortly after joining the company, he participated in the development of the mobile version of "Blood War Song," followed by the game's great success, President Pei's treat, and the change of office environment.

A few months ago, he was still racking his brains to find a job, but now, he had begun to search online for how to stay healthy.

To the point where he felt a bit guilty every day.

He often recalled the scene of seeing President Pei at the nameless restaurant. At that time, he ate a bowl of black rice mixed with crab roe that tasted particularly strange. Later, he learned that the scientific name of that bowl of black rice should be caviar.

As the saying goes, he who eats another's food is bound to do his bidding.

Every time he slacked off, Hao Qiong felt a little sorry for President Pei, but when he seriously wanted to work for a while... he really had nothing to do.

It was very awkward.

According to Director Lin, Shang Yang Games' next development plan would have to wait for President Pei to issue orders, and the specific plan could not be finalized until mid-November at the earliest.

At the thought of having to slack off for another ten days or half a month, Hao Qiong felt uncomfortable all over.

He opened the tpdb website and took another look at the score of "Blood War Song."

From the initial total score of 7.2, to the later 8.4, and now to 8.9, the game's score could be said to be rising all the way.

At this rate, breaking 9 next month would not be a problem at all.

A high score meant a high bonus, and the more he thought about how he would get more bonus next month, the more guilty Hao Qiong felt.

He clearly hadn't done any work, but he kept getting money.

Although this sounded quite cool, he was always a little afraid that he would become useless, so he couldn't wait to do something to prove himself.

Then, he opened the internal forum.

"I'll start working after browsing two more posts." Hao Qiong made up his mind.

"Hmm? What is this pinned post?"

"President Pei's open letter to internal employees??"

Hao Qiong's heart instantly "thumped," and an even greater sense of guilt arose spontaneously.

He could easily imagine what this open letter would be about!

Open letters like this, posted on the company's internal network, were basically for unifying thoughts and encouraging employees to work hard.

To put it bluntly, it was a bowl of thick chicken soup from the leadership to all employees.

If it were in other companies, most employees might not even bother to open it and read it carefully, because it was meaningless.

They were already working like dogs, and they were still being fed chicken soup? Weren't they afraid of choking?

But seeing this internal letter from President Pei, Hao Qiong couldn't possibly not open it.

Because Hao Qiong felt that he really should drink some chicken soup. Spending his days like this, doing nothing, was really too sinful!

He could even imagine that President Pei might criticize some employees who were living off the company's benefits in this open letter, and repeatedly emphasize the spirit of hard work and the wolf culture, to give a good reminder to those employees who were indulging in pleasure.

Hao Qiong felt that he needed this kind of spurring on now.

With this expectation in mind, Hao Qiong opened the pinned post and carefully browsed through it.

After reading it, Hao Qiong frowned and fell into deep confusion.

Why did he feel that this open letter was not quite what he had imagined?

Were these words...reversed?

Hao Qiong read the open letter from beginning to end again, "reviewing" some of the "golden sentences" in it.

When the alarm clock rings, just turn it off and continue sleeping. It's the same to do it after you've had enough sleep?

An individual's efforts have little to do with the company's development?

More and more people are working hard, and fewer and fewer people know how to rest?

Working overtime means not trusting the working abilities of colleagues and Tengda's company spirit?

From now on, refuse to work overtime???

Hao Qiong read this open letter carefully and earnestly from beginning to end, and finally saw eight words between the lines: "Overtime is a sin, slacking off is justified!"

This scene was so blackly humorous that Hao Qiong almost thought he hadn't woken up yet.

He had a little guilt in his heart before, but now it had been completely replaced by bewilderment and confusion.

The boss is asking me to slack off more, this...

Hao Qiong was confused. He looked at the date. Today wasn't April Fool's Day, was it?

With confusion, Hao Qiong refreshed the page, and immediately seven or eight replies appeared.

Probably there were many employees who were as idle as Hao Qiong. Everyone was browsing the internal forum, and when they saw this pinned post, they immediately ran over to comment, and they could also grab a sofa while they were at it.

"Catch President Pei in the front row!"

"President Pei is mighty!"

"What's the situation with this open letter? Is this a test of the posting function, or is it creating a program effect?"

Obviously, there were quite a few people who were as confused as Hao Qiong.

Who would feed their own employees poisonous chicken soup?

Reverse blood-pumping?

While everyone was confused, the comments below the pinned post were getting more and more numerous.

"Understood, President Pei! We will definitely rest well and take care of our bodies!"

"So heartwarming. Although it is expressed in a humorous way, I can still feel President Pei's concern for us between the lines!"

"After reading this pinned post, I fell into deep thought. While other companies are touting 'wolf culture' and 'the spirit of struggle,' trying to squeeze employees in every possible way, President Pei has gone against the norm and severely exposed and satirized this behavior!"

"I'm a little touched. This is the Tengda spirit that we have always been proud of!"

"President Pei's advice is all the truth, and every sentence is said to my heart! There are too many bosses who stand from the company's point of view, from the point of view of their own interests. All they think about is, 'If employees work hard, I can change a car at the end of the year.' They tout employee's hard work, saying it's for the good of the employees, but in fact, it's still for their own benefit!"

"But President Pei is completely different. He completely stands from the employees' point of view, caring about the employees' health, family life, and future development. With such a good leader, what more could one ask for?"

"Please rest assured, President Pei. Even if we don't work overtime and don't overdraw our bodies, we will definitely complete our work satisfactorily and let the company achieve better development!"

"Yes, President Pei has created such good working conditions for us and carries the burden of the company's development all on his own shoulders. We can't let President Pei down! We must ensure our health, because good health can better work for the company and make greater achievements to repay President Pei!"

...

Comments were frantically liked and quickly pushed to the top.

Hao Qiong, who was a little confused at first, finally understood at this time.

So this internal letter was not for pumping blood, but a kind of ultimate humanistic care!

Whether or not to work overtime was obviously not the theme of this internal letter.

President Pei's superficial meaning was to tell everyone not to work hard, but this was obviously an exaggerated way of expressing it.

As long as an employee has a little ambition, who doesn't know that hard work will be good for their future development?

President Pei's real meaning is to let everyone know how to take care of their bodies while working hard. Only by ensuring health, family happiness, and fully developing their hobbies can they better complete their work and make greater contributions to the development of Tengda!

From this, we can see that President Pei's pattern is vastly different from those bosses who only covet petty profits, hope to save costs from some trivial details, and deduct employees' wages!

Thinking of this, Hao Qiong instantly became full of fighting spirit.

He replied under the post: "Please rest assured, President Pei, we will definitely ensure our health while working hard, and hope to grow and progress with Tengda in the future!"
