At the very top were a few lines in small text.

“This document is classified for private circulation only, strictly prohibited from being posted on internal forums or the internet.”

“Mr. Pei detests dogmatism. The true Tenda spirit exists only in Mr. Pei’s heart, and Mr. Pei holds the final right of interpretation.”

“This document is merely a crude attempt to understand the Tenda spirit and does not represent Mr. Pei’s true views. Please maintain independent thinking and exercise careful discrimination and learning of the document’s content.”

In essence, the meaning was roughly this:

This is not a standard textbook, only a relatively one-sided interpretation with reference value only. It should not be taken as the only correct answer, and it certainly does not represent Mr. Pei’s true thoughts.

Regarding the Tenda spirit, one must comprehend it for oneself.

Li Yada flipped through it briefly and found that the document’s content was quite substantial.

She continued reading the main body of the document.

…

Tenda Spirit One: Work efficiently, emphasize innovation.

To practice this spirit, the priority is to avoid overtime whenever possible.

Not working overtime is an important principle that Mr. Pei has repeatedly emphasized.

However, many people simply understand it as Mr. Pei’s care for employees, while overlooking the deeper meaning.

Mr. Pei hopes that through the mandatory measure of not working overtime, all employees will gradually adapt to this fast-paced work, constantly urging themselves to improve work efficiency and stimulate innovative thinking.

In the process of avoiding overtime whenever possible, find ways to improve work efficiency and seek more efficient work methods, thus forming a virtuous cycle.

Tenda Spirit Two: Obey leadership, maintain independent thinking.

To practice this spirit, the priority is to fulfill Mr. Pei’s requirements at all costs.

Mr. Pei often puts forward seemingly unreasonable demands, but they have all proven to have deeper meanings afterward.

Even if you don’t understand Mr. Pei’s true purpose, you should try your best to fulfill his requirements, which is significant for understanding his deeper intent.

As the saying goes, read a book a hundred times, and its meaning will become clear. As long as you diligently practice Mr. Pei’s guidelines, one day you will gain enlightenment.

However, it’s important to note that Mr. Pei does not want all employees to become tools who only know how to blindly follow.

Mr. Pei has always only made demands without explanations, precisely to cultivate employees’ spirit of independent thinking.

Therefore, while fulfilling Mr. Pei’s requirements, one must also focus on independent thinking and autonomously solving problems. Don’t place all hopes on Mr. Pei; fully utilize your initiative and strive to share Mr. Pei’s burdens.

Tenda Spirit Three: Balance work and rest, aim for the long term.

To practice this spirit, the priority is to fully enjoy the benefits the company provides.

Many employees are embarrassed to play games at the company, or to eat snacks, drink coffee, or enjoy too many company benefits.

This is a completely wrong mindset!

The company provides these benefits and a good office environment to let employees understand the importance of balancing work and rest.

Health is the foundation of revolution. Many people develop occupational diseases in their thirties and forties, leading to poor work conditions, difficulty in concentrating, which affects work efficiency.

Tenda views employees as the company’s valuable assets; employees falling ill is a significant loss for the company.

Therefore, Mr. Pei has prepared so many benefits and such a nice office environment to allow employees to balance work and rest, take care of their health, so that everyone can still accompany Tenda, inseparably, ten, twenty, or even thirty years later, until retirement.

So, everyone should accept these benefits with peace of mind and enjoy them well.

Afterward, bury this gratitude in your heart and repay the company’s deep love with higher work enthusiasm and a more positive work state!

The Tenda spirit is profound and extensive; this is just one aspect of it.

Knowing is easy, but doing is difficult. Hope everyone can start with the simplest things first.

Try everything possible to avoid overtime.

Try everything possible to fulfill Mr. Pei’s requirements.

Fully enjoy the company’s benefits.

Start with these simplest small things, don’t let Mr. Pei down, and become a true Tenda person!

On this basis, fully comprehend the Tenda spirit:

Work efficiently, emphasize innovation;

Obey leadership, maintain independent thinking.

Balance work and rest, aim for the long term!

…

After reading this document, Li Yada fell into silence.

She suddenly felt somewhat guilty!

So, Mr. Pei’s repeated emphasis on not working overtime had such profound meaning?

Li Yada couldn’t help feeling ashamed. As the head of the game department, her understanding of the Tenda spirit was so inadequate, still secretly working overtime frequently. It was truly a failure!

On one hand, this reflected her low work efficiency; on the other hand, it reflected her insufficient comprehension ability.

She still needed to keep striving!

This document was very useful!

She hurriedly replied: “Thank you, this document is a great help! Did you come up with this?”

Hao Yun quickly responded: “Not me, it was an employee in our department who just passed the Tenda Spirit test and was inspired.”

“No need to thank me, this is feedback for the test tips that your department’s employee provided earlier!”

“This employee from our department hopes to guide new employees from other departments, helping them better comprehend the Tenda spirit and integrate into the Tenda family sooner!”

“However, this document should not be disseminated externally, as it’s part of company confidential information.”

“My idea is that this document should only be stored on the department heads’ computers, with multiple layers of encryption.”

“Only those backbone employees who we deem qualified to learn the Tenda spirit should have access to this content!”

Li Yada suddenly understood: “Okay, I understand, thank you very much!”

Although three people from the game department had passed the first test, there would be many new employees who would need to undergo the baptism of the Tenda Spirit Compatibility Test.

At this time, such a document became crucial!

Hao Yun shared this document with the heads of other departments rather than directly publishing it on the intranet, evidently because he felt that this document was merely one person’s opinion and might not necessarily represent Mr. Pei’s views.

If it were leaked externally, causing misreadings and misinterpretations among others, or interfering with the Tenda Spirit Compatibility Test, it might displease Mr. Pei.

Therefore, it could only be circulated within a small range, not leaked, let alone made known to everyone.

Li Yada considered that if employees under her were truly clueless and about to be eliminated, and if she valued these individuals, she would show them this document on her computer, allowing them to comprehend the Tenda spirit.

This way, it would serve as good guidance for those who were lost and hadn’t yet been enlightened.

In short, only backbone members could see and study this original document.

These backbone members would create a good atmosphere in their work, naturally guiding other ordinary employees and attracting them voluntarily.

Li Yada carefully hid the document in a hidden folder on her computer and encrypted it to prevent leakage.

With all preparations complete, Li Yada went to Mr. Pei’s office, gently knocked on the door, and informed Mr. Pei that she was about to depart and would return on Monday of the following week. If there were any issues, he could contact her at any time.

Pei Qian smiled and said, “Don’t worry, we won’t contact you. Since you’re going out, make sure to have a good time and don’t worry about any work-related issues.”

“It’s getting late, hurry and prepare to leave!”

Leaving Mr. Pei’s office, Li Yada inexplicably had a feeling of being chased out of the company.

…

…

After seeing Li Yada off, Pei Qian felt much more relaxed.

With so many backbone members gone abroad to play, he should be safe now, right?

He should be able to rest easy for a week, right?

Such hard-won leisure time.

Pei Qian casually browsed the web, looking at recent news.

Suddenly, he thought of something and searched for the keywords “ioi” and “Finger Company” on the website.

There were only some very marginal reports with low popularity, and almost no one was discussing it on gaming forums.

Pei Qian tried searching with English keywords, then, relying on his college English level, struggled to search through the vast results for quite some time.

He still couldn’t find what he was looking for!

There were only a few pieces of information saying that ioi had conducted a test, but there wasn’t much description of the test results, only using some rather courteous words to describe it.

In other words, it didn’t seem to be very popular.

Pei Qian was somewhat puzzled.

Strange, why wasn’t there any highly popular news?

According to Pei Qian’s recollection, this game should have swept across the United States shortly after the official test, then quickly spread to China and around the world.

Before the Chinese server of LOL was launched, there was already a group of game information websites and opinion leaders among players who were closely following this game.

But for IOI, why was there no buzz?

It was normal for there to be little interest abroad; it was still too early.

But what about overseas?

Finger Company had raised quite a bit of money, but hadn’t made any name for themselves yet? This efficiency was too low.

But then Pei Qian thought, since Finger Company’s financing came much later than Riot Games, the game becoming truly popular should also be later.

Perhaps after waiting a bit longer, there would be similar news?

Pei Qian thought he should observe a bit more.

After turning off the computer, Pei Qian looked at the date and realized that the exam week was getting closer and closer.

It was about time to ask Old Ma for his notes.

Since Old Ma had invested in IOI last time, Pei Qian hadn’t been to Dream Realization Venture Capital for a while.

On one hand, it was because he was badly hit and didn’t want to recall painful memories; on the other hand, it was also because Dream Realization Venture Capital had no money left and couldn’t backstab him anymore.

However, he had indeed neglected his good brother during this time.

For the sake of the notes, he should still go to Dream Realization Venture Capital to take a look and see Old Ma’s current state.

…

…

As soon as Pei Qian arrived at Dream Realization Venture Capital, he heard someone shouting inside.

“Boss Ma, use your ultimate!”

“It’s okay, Boss Ma, you go first, I’ll cover the rear!”

“Boss Ma, don’t worry about me, you retreat first!”

It sounded heroic and intense, like a fierce battle.

Pei Qian couldn’t help but nod slightly.

Hmm, this is what my ideal company should look like!

Old Ma truly lives up to being a good brother; he never disappoints me each time I visit!

Well… except for last time.

But Pei Qian felt that he couldn’t entirely blame Old Ma for last time’s incident; it was a complete coincidence.

Old Ma didn’t do it intentionally; it was friendly fire.

Moreover, whether this investment would ultimately succeed remained to be seen, so he couldn’t just write off his good brother like that.

If he were to do so, it would at least be after the exam week.

Pei Qian quietly slipped in, standing behind Ma Yang.

But he saw that Ma Yang wasn’t playing “Divine Start” now, but GOG!

Huh???

Three question marks instantly appeared above Pei Qian’s head.
