Chapter 39: Three Days Off to Celebrate Starting Work

Ma Yang was already completely in awe after hearing “six full achievement accounts.”

Ma Yang also played “Fantasy World,” but even now, he was still just a novice.

This Bao Xu was a talent!

A hardcore gaming god!

But then he looked at the salary.

“For someone of this caliber, you’re only offering 3,000 yuan per month? Even less than me? Isn’t that too little? What if he decides to jump ship halfway?” Ma Yang couldn’t help but worry.

Pei Qian coughed twice: “He won’t. My charm has already conquered him.”

Pei Qian was thinking that if he gave all employees a general raise next time, then quite a bit of the money in his hands would have to be spent.

Perfect.

Although the salaries didn’t seem like much, just three to five thousand for each person, small amounts add up, and paying month after month would be a large expense.

Otherwise, so many companies wouldn’t be so stingy, haggling over a few hundred yuan when setting salaries, and giving raises of only one or two hundred.

After listening to Pei Qian’s explanation, Ma Yang suddenly felt that Pei Qian was more reliable than ever before!

Starting a company and recruiting people was such a difficult task, but Pei Qian not only accomplished it, he did it well!

He had unearthed a large batch of buried talents, and their salaries were all at reasonable levels.

It was like scoring a perfect 100 on an exam!

“So, when do we start working?” Ma Yang could hardly wait.

Pei Qian looked at the date.

“Better now than later, so tomorrow it is!”

……

Since joining the company, Huang Sibo had been living in what felt like a dream.

On the day Pei Qian told him he had passed the interview, he couldn’t believe it, fearing he had encountered some kind of scam company.

But thinking about the incident where he had run into his boss at the bottom of the building, Huang Sibo knew that after returning, Old Liu would give him a hard time.

So, Huang Sibo resolutely resigned.

There wasn’t much effort to retain him when he resigned; after all, Huang Sibo was just a bottom-level odd-jobber. For people like him, there was a large batch graduating from university every year, and Old Liu wasn’t worried at all about finding someone to order around.

Old Liu didn’t even ask Huang Sibo where he was going after resigning.

Although he knew Huang Sibo had gone to interview at Tenda, Old Liu couldn’t possibly consider that direction.

Old Liu himself hadn’t been accepted, so how could someone like Huang Sibo pass the interview?

Old Liu did not believe it.

With his resignation certificate in hand, Huang Sibo successfully joined Tenda.

Then, on his first day of work, he started to question life itself.

Work started at 9 AM and ended at 5 PM.

What did he do all day?

Nothing!

Pei Qian gave him a cordial greeting, then assigned him his recent work tasks.

Play games!

What type of games? No restrictions!

How to play? No restrictions!

Huang Sibo had never seen such a company.

At his previous company, playing games was explicitly forbidden.

No playing during work hours!

The reason was simple: game companies aren’t for playing games, they’re for making games.

Playing games would inevitably affect work efficiency, so many game companies would prohibit employees from playing games, and some bizarre companies wouldn’t even allow employees to play their games.

Wasn’t that absurd?

If you don’t play your own game, how do you fix it?

But these surreal things did commonly exist.

So after coming to Tenda, Huang Sibo felt very anxious.

A game company that ended work at 5 PM—have you ever seen such a thing?

Sitting at the workstation next to him was a big brother called Bao Xu.

His exact age wasn’t clear, but judging from his receding hairline, he was likely a veteran.

Of course, saying it was the workstation next to him, the two were quite far apart, probably about three to four meters.

No choice, the company was too big.

Huang Sibo was originally very anxious, but seeing Bao Xu’s dedication to the point of forgetting to eat and sleep, he suddenly felt very ashamed.

Look, this is what a truly dedicated and responsible employee should be!

The boss assigned a task to play games, and he was giving it his all!

Previously, Huang Sibo had accidentally glimpsed Bao Xu’s “Fantasy World” account.

One account with all character slots filled, all at max level, and each character with a full set of end-game equipment!

And who knew how many accounts like this Bao Xu had?

Huang Sibo instantly felt inferior.

He felt his work attitude was improper.

The boss assigned a task to play games, but he couldn’t fully immerse himself in it.

How could this be acceptable?

Looking at this veteran, who had set a very good example for him, he also started to play games frantically.

Not to mention, the top-end computer with two competitive gaming monitors, plus a mechanical keyboard, gaming mouse… this entire setup provided a truly amazing gaming experience.

When entering a game, the first thing to do was to max out all the graphics settings.

The feeling was summed up in one word: awesome!

By 5 PM, Huang Sibo wasn’t even aware it was time to leave, because outside it was still bright daylight.

Pei Qian had to raise his voice to chase everyone out before they all went home.

In the past, Huang Sibo often worked overtime until midnight, but leaving at 5 PM and being bathed in sunlight outside gave him a strong sense of disorientation.

It felt like something was missing!

Later, he learned that only one person in the entire company had the privilege of staying after 5 PM.

That was Bao Xu!

This added to Huang Sibo’s admiration for Bao Xu, and he decided to follow his example.

Indeed, only such truly excellent employees could gain Mr. Pei’s recognition and obtain the right to work overtime!

He must learn from veteran Bao Xu and gain Mr. Pei’s recognition as soon as possible!

For the first few days after arriving, Huang Sibo felt somewhat lost.

However, he quickly found the meaning of his struggle and the direction forward.

Over these two days, he had gradually adapted to life here and was full of hope for the future.

For some reason, he had always felt that his life was a failure, and he couldn’t find any motivation.

But now, looking at the 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 pause your work for a moment. I have an announcement to make.”

Pei Qian came to the office area and spoke loudly.

Everyone turned to look at him in unison.

Pei Qian cleared his throat: “After this period of preparation, most of you should have entered the working state, which is good.”

“Next, we will officially enter the intensive development phase. I hope everyone can work together to make this game well!”

“Starting tomorrow, we officially begin work!”

As soon as Pei Qian finished speaking, Xin Hailu took the lead in applauding.

The others were stunned for a moment, then also began to applaud one after another.

Huang Sibo clapped the most enthusiastically.

After waiting for so long, finally, it was coming!

It was time to enter the liver-destroying development phase!

Come on, 996 work schedule, whip me to your heart’s content!

Huang Sibo had been very averse to the 996 work schedule, especially when he was at his original company.

He believed it was a merciless exploitation of employees, a very ugly phenomenon.

But here, with such a superior work environment, such generous salary and benefits, a boss who appreciated him, colleagues who worked so hard…

He suddenly felt that 996 was completely acceptable!

996? Bring it on!

I can handle it!

Pei Qian’s expression was serious. He raised both hands in the air, and the applause immediately stopped.

Everyone looked at Pei Qian with anticipation, waiting for his further instructions.

“Alright, to celebrate officially starting work tomorrow, that’s it for today. Everyone, time to go home!”

Pei Qian took the lead in slipping away!

After walking a few steps, he seemed to think of something and turned back.

“Today is Friday, we’re leaving early. Tomorrow and the day after are rest days, and Monday… oh, Monday is Singles’ Day, so that’s also a holiday!”

“During these three days off, do whatever you want to do. Those with partners, spend time with your partners; those without, go find partners. Go do the right thing!”

“Don’t let me catch any of you working overtime! Whoever dares to work overtime will have their pay docked! Go home, go home, it’s time to go home!”

Huang Sibo: “????”

He looked at his watch.

It was now 3 PM.
