Qing Shan Qu Zui
Chapter 39 A Three-Day Holiday to Celebrate the Start of Work
Ma Yang also played *Fantasy World*, but he was still just a noob.
This Bao Xu is truly a talent!
A veteran-level gaming god!
But then he looked again at the salary and benefits.
"You only give this kind of god a monthly salary of three thousand yuan? Lower than mine? That's too little, isn't it? What if he jumps ship halfway?" Ma Yang couldn't help but worry.
Pei Qian coughed twice: "No, my personal charm has already conquered him."
Pei Qian was thinking that next time there was a salary adjustment, if he really gave all employees a general increase, the money in his hands would be spent again.
Well, perfect.
Although the personnel costs didn't seem like much, only three or five thousand per person, small amounts add up, and a month-by-month payout was still a significant expense.
Otherwise, so many companies wouldn't be so stingy, haggling over a few hundred yuan, and raising salaries by only a hundred or two.
After listening to Pei Qian's account, Ma Yang suddenly felt that Pei Qian was more reliable than ever before!
Starting a company and recruiting people were such difficult tasks, but Pei Qian not only accomplished them but did them very well!
He had unearthed a large number of buried talents, and the salary levels were all at reasonable levels.
It was as if he had aced this exam!
"Then, when do we start work?" Ma Yang couldn't wait.
Pei Qian looked at the date.
"There's no time like the present, let's start tomorrow!"
...
Huang Sibo felt like he was living in a dream these past few days since joining the company.
The day Pei Qian told him that he had passed the interview, he couldn't believe it, fearing that he had encountered some fraudulent company.
However, thinking about bumping into his former boss downstairs, Huang Sibo knew that he would definitely be given the cold shoulder after returning to his old company.
Therefore, Huang Sibo decisively resigned.
His resignation was not met with much persuasion, after all, Huang Sibo was just a low-level handyman. There was a large batch of university graduates every year, and his former boss was not worried about finding someone to order around.
His former boss didn't even ask where Huang Sibo was going after leaving.
Although he knew Huang Sibo had interviewed with Tengda, his former boss would never consider it.
He himself hadn't even gotten an interview, how could a mediocre guy like Huang Sibo pass?
His former boss didn't believe it at all.
With his resignation certificate in hand, Huang Sibo successfully joined Tengda.
Then, on his first day of work, he began to doubt his life.
Work from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
What did he do all day?
Nothing!
Pei Qian expressed his cordial greetings to him and then assigned him his recent tasks.
Play games!
No limit on the type of game!
No limit on how to play!
Huang Sibo had never seen such a company.
His previous company strictly prohibited playing games.
No playing during work hours!
The reason was simple: game companies are not companies for playing games, but companies for making games.
Playing games would inevitably affect work efficiency, so many game companies would prohibit employees from playing games, and some individual bizarre companies would not allow employees to play their own games.
Wasn't this nonsense?
How could you modify the game without playing it?
But this kind of magical realism did exist widely.
So coming to Tengda made Huang Sibo feel very uneasy.
Have you ever seen a game company that gets off work at 5 p.m.?
Sitting at the workstation next to him was an older brother named Bao Xu.
His exact age was unclear, but judging from his hairline, he was likely a senior.
Of course, although it was said to be the workstation next to him, the two were actually far apart, about three or four meters.
There was no way around it, the company was too big.
Huang Sibo was originally very uneasy, but seeing Bao Xu's tireless efforts, he suddenly felt ashamed.
Look, this is a truly responsible and good employee!
The boss assigned the task of playing games, and then this guy was really grinding like his life depended on it!
Before, Huang Sibo had accidentally caught a glimpse of Bao Xu's *Fantasy World* account.
The account was full of characters, all at max level, and switching to any character would reveal a full set of top-tier equipment!
Huang Sibo didn't know how many such accounts Bao Xu had.
Huang Sibo instantly felt inferior.
He felt that his work attitude was not serious enough.
The boss assigned the task of playing games, but he couldn't fully immerse himself in it.
How could this be allowed!
Looking at this senior, he had set a very good example for himself.
So he also began to desperately play games.
Not to mention, the top-of-the-line computer plus two esports monitors, plus a mechanical keyboard and gaming mouse... this whole set-up made the gaming experience truly awesome.
Entering the game, he didn't care about anything else and immediately cranked up all the graphics settings to the maximum.
This feeling could be summed up in one word: awesome!
At 5 p.m., Huang Sibo didn't even realize it was time to get off work because it was still broad daylight outside.
Pei Qian shouted at the top of his lungs to chase everyone out before finally sending them all home.
Huang Sibo used to often work overtime until 12 p.m., but getting off work at 5 p.m. and being bathed in the outside sunshine suddenly gave him a strong sense of discomfort.
He felt like something was missing!
Later, he learned that only one person in the entire company had the privilege of not leaving after 5 p.m.
That was Bao Xu!
This made Huang Sibo's admiration for Bao Xu grow even more, and he decided to emulate him.
Sure enough, only truly excellent employees can gain President Pei's approval and get the right to work overtime!
He must learn from Senior Bao Xu and gain President Pei's approval as soon as possible!
Huang Sibo was a little confused for the first two days after arriving.
However, he quickly found the meaning of his struggle and the direction to move forward.
In the past two days, he had gradually adapted to life here and was full of hope for the future.
He didn't know why, but he always felt that his life was a loser's life, and he couldn't muster any energy.
But now, looking at the green plants by the window and the scenery outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, Huang Sibo suddenly felt that he could fight for another five hundred years!
...
"Everyone, please put down your work for a moment, I have something to announce."
Pei Qian came to the office area and said loudly.
Everyone looked at him in unison.
Pei Qian cleared his throat: "After this period of preparation, most people should have entered the working state, which is very good."
"Next, we will officially enter the intensive research and development phase. I hope everyone can work together to make the game well!"
"Starting tomorrow, we will officially start work!"
As soon as Pei Qian finished speaking, Xin Hailu took the lead in applauding.
The others were stunned for a moment, and then they applauded one after another.
Huang Sibo applauded the most enthusiastically.
After waiting for so long, finally, it was coming!
The intense R&D phase was about to begin!
Come on, 996, please whip me to your heart's content! (996 refers to working from 9am to 9pm, 6 days a week.)
Huang Sibo was very repulsed by 996, especially when he was at his original company.
He believed that this was a ruthless exploitation of employees and a very ugly phenomenon.
But here, he had such a superior working environment, such generous wages and benefits, such an appreciative boss, and such hard-working colleagues...
He suddenly felt that 996 was completely acceptable!
Isn't it just 996, bring it on!
I can handle it!
Pei Qian's expression was serious, and he grabbed his hands in the air, and the applause stopped abruptly.
Everyone looked at Pei Qian with anticipation, waiting for his further instructions.
"Okay, in order to celebrate the official start of work tomorrow, that's it for today, everyone, go home!"
Pei Qian took the lead in slipping away!
He took two steps, then thought of something, and turned back.
"Today is Friday, we'll get off work early. Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow are rest days. Monday... hey, Monday is Singles' Day, we'll have a holiday on Singles' Day too!"
"Do whatever you want with the three-day holiday. Those with partners should accompany their partners, and those without partners should go find one. Go do something useful!"
"Don't let me catch you working overtime. Whoever dares to work overtime will have their salary deducted! Go home, go home, go home!"
Huang Sibo: "??????"
He looked at his watch.
It was 3 p.m.
