April 20th.

After work, Ma Yiqun quietly arrived at a small coffee shop next to the company to be interviewed by Hu Yue.

Hu Yue took out her prepared notepad.

They had already agreed not to leave any video or audio recordings, and Ma Yiqun’s real name would not be published.

Although this would greatly reduce the credibility of the report, Hu Yue was already very satisfied to be able to interview a Tenda employee in this manner, getting a glimpse of the tip of the iceberg of this newly emerging game company.

Hu Yue found herself feeling a bit nervous.

She calmed herself down a little and recalled the key questions she had finalized late last night after much consideration.

The two had already reached a consensus: first, they couldn’t reveal the company owner’s name and real identity; second, they couldn’t ask about the company’s specific salary levels and benefits.

So, the questions Hu Yue had prepared avoided these two points.

“Don’t be nervous. I’m a professional reporter, please trust my professional standards.”

“An essential quality of an excellent reporter is the ability to keep the conversation flowing naturally, making the interviewee unaware of any rhythm breaks. So you just need to cooperate with me.”

Hu Yue was full of confidence.

Ma Yiqun nodded.

“Then let’s begin.”

“First, I’d like to ask how long you’ve been with Tenda, and what work are you specifically responsible for?”

“Don’t worry, your specific position won’t be included in the article. I’m asking this question just to know which area you’re generally responsible for, so I can ask more in-depth professional questions later.”

Hu Yue held her notepad, ready to take notes.

Ma Yiqun thought for a moment and answered truthfully: “I’ve been with Tenda for a month now, and my main job is learning.”

Hu Yue quickly jotted this down on her notepad, then stopped.

The main job is… learning?

“Could you elaborate on that?”

Ma Yiqun nodded: “Tenda is very different from other gaming companies. At Tenda, we do high-level design work. Newcomers have no right to work or overtime—they can only learn! And this learning process continues for a long time.”

“I feel a lot of pressure every day. I need to learn Mr. Pei’s advanced game design ideas and learn from other seniors to understand Mr. Pei’s intentions. I’m ashamed to say that my progress has been very slow so far.”

“Until now, I haven’t been able to learn even one ten-thousandth of what Mr. Pei knows. I still need to consult the company’s seniors to understand a bit of Mr. Pei’s intentions.”

Hu Yue was a bit shocked and hurriedly took notes.

An employee who had worked at other companies for half a year could only learn here—this was enough to show how terrifyingly high the overall level of this company was!

But then again, a boss who recruited employees, paid them monthly salaries, and let them learn for a month first, not everyone had such boldness!

So much explosive information, and this was just the beginning!

Stay calm, I’m a professional reporter!

Hu Yue calmed her excited feelings and continued to the next topic: “Let’s talk about the recently popular ‘Game Developer.’ Did your company plan this ‘performance art’ promotional strategy from the beginning?”

Ma Yiqun shook his head: “No, in fact, all of us were kept in the dark.”

“Even during our team dinner, we were still worried the game would flop.”

“It was Mr. Pei who had determined this performance art promotional method early on and kept it from everyone in the company. When the game’s release hit a low point, he suddenly made his move, achieving a remarkable comeback from the brink!”

“I’m ashamed to say that we didn’t help much.”

Hu Yue’s eyes lit up.

This was indeed a treasure of a company with a treasure of a boss!

“Could you tell me more about your Mr. Pei?” Hu Yue wrote rapidly in her small notebook.

A look of admiration appeared on Ma Yiqun’s face.

“Mr. Pei is a genius designer. Sometimes Mr. Pei just points out a few simple directions, and when we follow these directions, we can create an excellent game, like ‘Sea Fortress’.”

“Sometimes Mr. Pei is hands-on, perfecting every detail, single-handedly polishing a game to perfection, like ‘Game Developer’;”

“Moreover, Mr. Pei has a unique personal charisma. Countless talented people are naturally attracted to him and want to collaborate with him.”

“The great artist Ruan Guangjian and the excellent video creator Qiao Laoshi are both Mr. Pei’s close friends. Their friendship is not mixed with any interests!”

“Mr. Pei is a solitary genius. His concepts transcend the times, so he’s often misunderstood, but Mr. Pei doesn’t mind and continues to surpass himself time and again.”

Hu Yue rapidly recorded all this.

Although Ma Yiqun’s words were full of flattery and sounded like he was just praising his boss, Hu Yue knew this was unlikely.

Because this was an anonymous interview!

They had agreed at the beginning that Hu Yue would not reveal Ma Yiqun’s identity or position in the interview article.

Even if the flattery reached Mr. Pei’s ears, Mr. Pei wouldn’t know it was from Ma Yiqun.

There was no motive.

So, all of this was Ma Yiqun’s genuine opinion!

Hu Yue couldn’t help but marvel at such a harmonious relationship between employees and their boss, truly something she had never seen before.

“As a boss, if the perfect score is 100, how many points would you give Mr. Pei?” Hu Yue asked.

Ma Yiqun replied without hesitation: “200 points!”

“Perhaps there are some bosses in this world who can score 90 points, such as providing full overtime pay or good company benefits, and so on.”

“But Mr. Pei can achieve 200 points!”

“Mr. Pei is very generous to every employee. He cares about our health and spends money on employees without hesitation.”

“But according to the seniors in the company, Mr. Pei is very strict with himself, even to the point of frugality!”

“I can only say that before coming to Tenda, if someone had told me there was a boss like Mr. Pei in this world, I absolutely wouldn’t have believed it!”

“Of course, if someone now told me there was a second boss like Mr. Pei in this world, I still wouldn’t believe it!”

Hu Yue rapidly took notes in her notebook, finding it difficult to contain her excitement just from listening.

She felt infected by Ma Yiqun’s enthusiasm!

From Ma Yiqun’s words, Hu Yue could hear how much Tenda’s employees admired and appreciated Mr. Pei, and she could vaguely glimpse the radiant, great image of Mr. Pei…

Hu Yue looked at the densely packed notes in her notebook, feeling that this interview had been quite fruitful.

This article would be explosive when published!

“Finally, let’s talk more about Mr. Pei.”

“The game ‘Game Developer’ resonated with many people. Perhaps this was Mr. Pei’s personal experience? Did Mr. Pei, as a designer, also experience these setbacks, which is why he could design such a profoundly meaningful game with such genuine emotion?”
