Chapter 1320 I'm Just Going Through the Motions

In the evening, Hu Xianbin arrived at Mingfu Family Banquet to have a farewell dinner with the game department.

He had a great chat with Manager Ma in the afternoon. He was originally a little dissatisfied with being transferred to the live streaming department, but now that feeling was completely gone.

He felt that Manager Ma was a very reasonable person, agreed with his views, and had very strong execution.

With Manager Ma's relationship with President Pei, it should be easy to get resources.

In this way, Hu Xianbin felt that he could also achieve great things on the live streaming platform!

There were quite a few people at dinner tonight.

In addition to old friends from the game department, some familiar faces from the GOG project team also came, including Zhang Nan. After all, the GOG project team and the game department used to be one family, and they were very familiar with each other.

Everyone ate while discussing recent events, from the GOG Global Invitational Tournament to the new game, and finally inevitably talked about the Suffering Travel.

Someone asked curiously, "Old Hu, how much suffering is there in the Suffering Travel? Is the documentary exaggerated, or is that your real state?"

Hearing his question, many people, including Yu Fei, couldn't help but prick up their ears to listen.

Who could guarantee that the scope of the Suffering Travel wouldn't be extended to the core members of the department in the future?

Moreover, the content of the Suffering Travel was too mysterious, which made people curious.

Hu Xianbin put down his chopsticks and cleared his throat solemnly, "Suffering Travel, huh..."

"It's true that there's some suffering, but it's also of great significance."

"The documentary you saw has a little bit of exaggeration, after all, it's for the sake of the program's effect. But looking back and savoring it carefully, there are actually many gains in addition to the suffering."

The crowd was a little surprised: "Many gains?"

"That's right." Hu Xianbin nodded, "First of all, going out and walking around is indeed helpful for strengthening your body and relaxing your mind!"

"This kind of opportunity to completely let go of yourself and get close to nature is not common."

"Think about it, you may not have this kind of experience once in your life, but now you can experience it with pay, isn't that good?"

"Secondly, it is said to be suffering, but it is actually tempering. After completing the goal, you still feel a great sense of accomplishment."

"Finally, the responsible people share the hardships together, and their relationship has improved a lot, which also greatly improves the linkage and mutual help between various departments in the future."

"I think this is President Pei's selection of excellent employees!"

"Only after going through the baptism of the Suffering Travel and passing the test of body and spirit can you have an iron will and truly become a talent trusted by President Pei!"

"So, if anyone wants to be noticed by President Pei as soon as possible, and wants to challenge themselves, they may as well take the initiative to participate in the Suffering Travel."

"In fact, those projects are not that difficult. I often win first place in rock climbing competitions."

Hu Xianbin was also running his mouth.

There was no way, if he told the truth about how miserable it was, who would go in the future?

He couldn't possibly become one of the few people who went to suffer in the Suffering Travel, right? That would be too miserable.

For such a meaningful activity, of course, everyone should have a share!

Therefore, before returning from the Suffering Travel, the first batch of people in charge had already agreed on their statements in advance. No one could say bad things about the Suffering Travel after returning!

Of course, it couldn't be too fake. While ensuring that people could believe it, he would fool as many as he could.

After listening to Hu Xianbin's words, the reactions of the people present varied.

Believe it or not, some people actually believed it.

Because what Hu Xianbin said did make some sense.

Except for a few people in charge, such as Zhang Yuan, the other core employees had not been exposed to Wu Bin's latest theoretical research results. There were many different opinions about the deep meaning of the Suffering Travel.

But one thing everyone could see was that all those who went to the Suffering Travel were the people in charge of various departments of Tengda, and they were the people in charge of core departments who had made significant contributions!

President Pei would rather delay their working hours to arrange for them to suffer. Why?

Obviously, according to Hu Xianbin's statement, this was a selection and test of excellent employees, a self-challenge.

Moreover, putting yourself in their shoes, if all those who participated in the Suffering Travel were people in charge, and there was an ordinary employee mixed in... wouldn't that be an opportunity to show your face in front of President Pei?

If Tengda was to start a new project at that time, or if the person in charge of the department was transferred for various reasons, those who had left an impression on President Pei would definitely have a better chance of being promoted!

Some people felt that it was good to be an ordinary employee, but some people still hoped to go to a higher position to exert their talents.

Therefore, Hu Xianbin's words obviously made some sense.

On the other hand, some people were indifferent.

Don't even think about tricking me into suffering!

These people didn't want to be in charge. They felt that their current position was good, with full benefits and just the right amount of workload.

As for Zhang Nan, she was secretly laughing.

Because after hearing Wu Bin's theory from Zhang Yuan, and then listening to Hu Xianbin's statement, she knew that it was completely wrong and completely distorted President Pei's meaning.

This group of people in charge were really racking their brains in order to deceive others into suffering.

Seeing Zhang Nan being a little amused, the corner of Hu Xianbin's mouth twitched slightly.

What was with this undisguised ridicule?

Don't gloat, you are also in charge now. Just based on the fact that you are now in charge of the GOG department, you can't escape the Suffering Travel!

Hu Xianbin coughed lightly twice: "What, do you think I'm wrong?"

Zhang Nan smiled slightly: "Of course you're wrong."

"In fact, the way to verify it is very simple. Just take the initiative to apply for the Suffering Travel and see if President Pei will approve it."

According to Wu Bin's theory, the Suffering Travel was to correct the wrong ideas of those workaholic people in charge.

If they took the initiative to apply to participate in the Suffering Travel, it would prove that they were already terminally ill and that they were workaholics to an incurable state.

At that time, let alone going to the Suffering Travel, it wouldn't be strange to be given the cold shoulder.

Hu Xianbin was very unconvinced: "It is indeed possible that it won't be approved, but that's because the Suffering Travel is an elite selection system, and not everyone has the opportunity to go!"

"If you sign up, if your resume is not good enough and your ability is not good enough, you may not be selected. Isn't this a very normal thing?"

The two of them insisted on their own opinions, and both felt that their interpretation was correct.

The others looked at each other, not knowing who to listen to for a moment.

Because in the interpretation of President Pei's intentions, it was rare for such a huge disagreement to occur among the people in charge.

In the past, one person in charge would put forward an interpretation, and another person in charge would nod in agreement, and after supplementing it, they would quickly reach a consensus.

But this time, it was obvious that both of them seemed to be right, and neither of them could convince the other.

Zhang Nan originally wanted to explain Wu Bin's theory to Hu Xianbin, but first of all, there were too many people on this occasion, and the content involving the spiritual core of Tengda should not be publicized too much, and can only be spread in the small circle of people in charge; secondly, she felt that Hu Xianbin said this obviously with ill intentions, relying on the fact that he would not go to the Suffering Travel in the short term, he wanted to trick others, and did not want to share the correct answer with him.

Therefore, Zhang Nan didn't explain much. Neither of them could convince the other, so they stopped arguing and quickly turned the page.

It's just that there were two different voices regarding the interpretation of the Suffering Travel, which made everyone present silently remember this matter.

…

…

November 16, Friday.

Chaolu Game Platform.

"Yan Qi, right? Hello, I'm He Desheng, the person in charge of Yuanmeng Venture Capital."

In the reception room, He Desheng shook hands with Yan Qi cordially.

Yan Qi had a feeling of being flattered, because his proposal had only been submitted for a little over a week, and he had received a reply so quickly.

In fact, Li Yada had already briefly talked to him about it, saying that there would be a reply from the other side after a while, and had already told Yan Qi to revise the design draft and fill in all the designs that had been cut off before due to budget issues.

Li Yada didn't say too much, just said to write it in detail, and if the budget was not enough in the end, it could be cut again. The key was to let the investors see the best state of this game.

Although he had been greeted in advance, Yan Qi didn't expect it to come so quickly.

What's more, the person in charge of Yuanmeng Venture Capital came to his door in person, instead of asking Yan Qi to go over.

Although there may be an idea of investigating Yan Qi's studio, it can still be said to be quite respectful!

Was his proposal written too well?

Yan Qi didn't think so, he just refreshed his understanding of Li Yada again, feeling that this person was really terrible, and the energy behind him was simply beyond imagination.

In fact, he didn't know that the reason why it was delayed for so long was mainly because He Desheng was still in Shennongjia at that time. If he had returned a few days earlier, he might have come over long ago.

"Let me briefly talk about the content of these supplements."

Yan Qi briefly described the changes he had made to the design of "Shu Li", mainly adding some new content.

He Desheng nodded: "Okay."

"According to the regulations of Yuanmeng Venture Capital, we need to send a financial officer to your company, and we need to ask about some operational issues. But don't worry, we will definitely not interfere with the design of the game."

"If there are no problems, we can officially sign the contract. 100 million yuan will be transferred in two installments. Depending on the development of the project, we can add more."

"The main thing is that these requirements for dispatching financial officers need to be explained in advance. Please consider it."

Yan Qi was stunned for a moment, and quickly said: "Of course there is no problem. Our small studio is not very good at this aspect. Of course, we would be grateful if we could have professionals to help us check. I can put my main energy into developing the game!"

"However, that's it? Aren't you going to study this design plan again?"

It was so easy to get such a large investment, which made Yan Qi feel very surprised and even a little unreal.

He Desheng smiled: "There's nothing to see, I don't understand games."

"This investment has already been finalized, I'm just going through the motions."

"Actually, President Pei has already read your proposal and highly approves of it."

"You don't have to worry about anything, just make this game with peace of mind."
