Seeing Lin Wan’s eyes light up, Pei Qian was taken aback.
What’s going on? What did I say?
Why such a strong reaction!
Lin Wan composed herself slightly: “Mr. Pei, your company doesn’t have a last-place elimination system, does it?”
Last-place elimination system?
Pei Qian had heard of such a system, but he would never use it.
If he were to eliminate anyone, it would be those who worked hard, not the slackers!
A first-place elimination system would make more sense…
“No,” Pei Qian shook his head. “Every employee is like family to me. Even if family members have temporary shortcomings, we should improve and progress together. How could I abandon them casually?”
Lin Wan nodded, then glanced at Ma Yang.
Indeed, Mr. Pei remained loyal even to this kind of employee. He was telling the truth!
Lin Wan asked again: “Then, do your company’s employees work overtime?”
“Oh, that’s another problem that gives me headaches,” Pei Qian sighed gently. “I’ve been trying my best to send them home, but some people still volunteer to stay, so I can only provide more overtime pay to compensate.”
“So, Mr. Pei, do you make games to fulfill your gaming dreams?” Lin Wan’s gaze was passionate.
Pei Qian was momentarily at a loss, smiling as he shook his head: “No, actually I… primarily do it for the money…”
“Mr. Pei must be joking. If it were truly for money, you could have increased the charges for ‘Ghost General’ tenfold, but you didn’t. I know you’re a person with ideals.”
Lin Wan seemed to have found her answer: “I understand now, Mr. Pei. Thank you for taking the valuable time to answer my questions. Thank you!”
Lin Wan turned and left, leaving Pei Qian confused.
Who was this young woman?
During the exchange session earlier, she seemed to have been listening to the audience the whole time.
She was probably a new employee who had recently joined Tianhuo Studio…
Pei Qian didn’t think much of it.
…
Pei Qian’s group stayed in Yangcheng for a total of five days, visiting several different game companies.
However, the companies they visited after Tianhuo Studio were far inferior.
Xiao Lü and the others gradually shifted from initial enthusiasm to complete indifference.
Wasn’t this trip supposed to be about broadening their horizons and learning advanced experiences?
They had thought that since Yangcheng was a popular location for the domestic game industry, the game companies here would certainly be impressive. But after seeing them firsthand, they realized what a disappointment they were!
Each one worse than the last!
The best conditions among them were at Tianhuo Studio, which they had visited on the first day.
Everyone had initially thought Tianhuo’s working environment was quite poor, but the game companies they visited afterward were increasingly worse, repeatedly lowering everyone’s impression of Yangcheng’s game companies!
By the fifth day, no one cared which company they were going to visit or exchange with anymore.
Some people were thinking about shopping and bringing back local specialties;
Some were thinking about quickly trying all of Yangcheng’s famous local snacks;
And others were thinking that Tenda was still the best, and they should just go back and work diligently, dedicating themselves to Mr. Pei…
In short, this exchange visit had completely backfired.
It was supposed to be an eye-opening experience, but it had turned into a competition of misery among Yangcheng’s game companies…
Especially Tianhuo Studio—its grand image in many people’s minds had instantly shattered.
All of Tenda’s employees had indirectly received an education in appreciating Tenda Network Technology Co., Ltd.
Huang Sibo and the others boarded the plane back to Jingzhou with their bags and packages, feeling no regret about leaving.
Time to go back and continue grinding on “Sea Fortress”!
…
…
Meanwhile, at Tianhuo Studio.
“Mr. Zhou, I’ve decided to resign,” Lin Wan said, handing her resignation letter to Zhou Muyan with both hands.
Zhou Muyan was stunned, then couldn’t help but feel ecstatic.
Could it be that you’ve finally come to your senses, seen through the game industry as a hopeless pit, and finally decided to go back and inherit your family’s billion-dollar fortune?
Wouldn’t that mean the task President Lin assigned to me was accomplished?
“Are you planning to leave the gaming industry?” Zhou Muyan asked hopefully.
Lin Wan shook her head: “No.”
Zhou Muyan: “???”
Not leaving the gaming industry, but resigning?
So you’re saying you don’t think much of Tianhuo Studio?
What’s this? Tianhuo Studio hasn’t rejected you, but you’re rejecting Tianhuo Studio…
Zhou Muyan felt his brain throb.
Of course, while internally cursing, he maintained a smiling face.
“What’s wrong? Is there something unsatisfactory about your work here?” Zhou Muyan forced a kind smile.
If it were any other intern, Zhou Muyan wouldn’t have asked a single question and would have just let them leave.
But Lin Wan was different—she had a powerful father…
Zhou Muyan had been entrusted with the important task of making Lin Wan disillusioned with the gaming industry, so he couldn’t just let her run off.
Even if he couldn’t keep her, he at least needed to understand exactly why Lin Wan wanted to leave and where she was planning to go.
Otherwise, if another call came from the president’s office of Shenhua Group, it would be difficult to explain!
“Thank you for your care all this time, Mr. Zhou, but… I feel I can’t pursue my gaming ideals here,” Lin Wan gazed out the window, a look of aspiration on her face. “I plan to go somewhere else.”
“Where?”
Zhou Muyan was puzzled.
Tianhuo Studio was already a top-tier game company in China.
Could it be that this young lady was planning to go abroad? To a foreign company?
Well, that possibility couldn’t be ruled out…
“I plan to go to Tenda.” Lin Wan’s gaze was resolute, as if she had already made this decision long ago.
“Tenda?”
Zhou Muyan didn’t even immediately recall which company that was…
Although he had just hosted Pei Qian and Tenda’s employees a few days ago, it hadn’t left a deep impression on Zhou Muyan, and he had quickly put it out of his mind.
After remembering, Zhou Muyan was perplexed.
Tenda… was a startup!
They had only made one mobile game. Compared to Tianhuo Studio, they were worlds apart!
If you want to pursue your gaming ideals, I won’t stop you; if you want to go to a big foreign company, I can tolerate that too. But what gaming ideals are you going to pursue at a startup?!
Zhou Muyan coughed twice: “Have you thought this through? That place… certainly doesn’t have the good environment and atmosphere of Tianhuo Studio. You might be disappointed.”
Lin Wan shook her head: “I believe in Mr. Pei. I saw something different in him, some qualities that differ from you and other designers… He seems to radiate a kind of idealistic brilliance. I can’t be wrong about this!”
Zhou Muyan’s mouth opened slightly, almost suspecting that Pei Qian had cast some spell on this girl.
Just one meeting a few days ago, and he’s already poached my employee???
But seeing Lin Wan’s determined attitude, Zhou Muyan knew further discussion was futile, and he didn’t dare obstruct her.
He knew that while this girl appeared gentle and lovely on the surface, her stubborn temperament could be terrifying when triggered.
President Lin of Shenhua Group was a nationally renowned super entrepreneur, and even he couldn’t control his daughter. He could only use this indirect approach to gradually guide her back to inheriting the family business. Zhou Muyan didn’t believe he could force Lin Wan to stay.
After some thought, Zhou Muyan could only let her go.
Still, she was going to a small company, which might even better expose her to the dark side of the gaming industry.
Perhaps Lin Wan would soon see through the truth about the gaming industry and return to inherit the family business—different paths leading to the same destination.
With this in mind, Zhou Muyan accepted the resignation letter: “Very well. I wish you success in achieving your gaming ideals! Tianhuo Studio will always be your home!”
“Thank you, Mr. Zhou!” Lin Wan turned and left without a trace of reluctance.
