Chapter 164 - I'm Blessed to be an Employee at Tengda

Ma Yiqun was in a good mood recently. He felt that he had finally been accepted by Tengda and had officially become a member of the company. He had studied hard for two entire months to earn this valuable work opportunity. Hence, Ma Yiqun valued this opportunity a lot.

Ma Yiqun had worked earnestly on all the story plot and synopsis in the new version of the games. He had also improved on the game narratives that Ma Yang originally wrote casually for Ghost General.

Of course, he did not flaunt his eloquence mindlessly. He wrote the narratives based on the requirements in the game.

For example, Ghost General was a game on the Three Kingdoms. There was a lot of content that he could have written to introduce the warriors.

However, if he wrote it as a biography would, it would not coincide with the characteristics of the game itself.

As Ma Yiqun was working on this, he discovered that although the original warrior descriptions were very simple, the artistic conception of the words was extremely vivid. It matched the concept art perfectly!

As Ma Yiqun was wowed by the words, he did not forget to ask about the master who created this masterpiece.

He later knew that the original writer also had the surname Ma. Ma Yang was one of the founding members who founded the company with Boss Pei, and he had since climbed up the ranks. He was transferred from the games department and had found a wider platform to showcase his talents. Ma Yiqun was a little envious when he heard about that.

Finally, on top of keeping the original eloquence of the narratives, Ma Yiqun edited some words to make the narratives stand out even more.

He had also earnestly edited the narratives in Ocean Stronghold and Game Designer and tried his best to perfect them.

Ma Yiqun did not dare to make a single mistake. After all, other than the chief planner Lu Mingliang, his work might also be vetted by the notable game designer Boss Pei.

If his narratives were not up to standard—even if others could not tell, Boss Pei would definitely be able to see it. He must not try his luck.

He had finally managed to earn Boss Pei’s trust. He did not want to lose it so quickly.

After completing all his work, Ma Yiqun finally exhaled deeply.

He recalled his two brothers. Huang Sibo’s Fei Huang Workspace had been performing exceptionally well, and he had already moved to Shanghai to shoot his new video. Ye Zhizhou had become the chief planner of his previous company Shang Yang Games. Under Boss Pei’s guidance, he managed to revive two dying games and rebuild their reputation. Ma Yiqun was very sentimental as he thought about that.

“From some aspects, Boss Pei could be considered the savior of Jingzhou City’s game industry!”

Ma Yiqun was even more impressed the more he thought about it.

As he went through the comments on the internet, he found that these downloadable contents had become a hot topic before they were even released.

Speaking of The Lonely Desert Road, it stood a chance of becoming the lamest game of the year. In this update, the game released new lame downloadable content and provided ten new settings in one go. This was a huge talking point that the media was crazily sharing and reporting on.

Ghost General was a conscience-driven game that had not been updated in a million years. All its players were anticipating the sudden version update.

The response for Game Designer was less intense. However, it was a work based on reality and was full of satire. Many fervent players bought it as part of their games collection. Now that it had new downloadable content, graphics style, and voiceover; they would definitely buy the update to enhance their collection.

The most debated game was Ocean Stronghold.

Currently, there were no leaked pictures of the new epic weapon online. However, news about the limited numbers sold spread like wildfire. Many players did not believe that. There were different reasons for that.

Some questioned if the number of weapons sold would ever reach 500 because of its 888-yuan price. They questioned if the game producers really thought that they could earn the players’ money so easily. They thought that this restriction was totally unnecessary.

Those were players who could not count at all.

Some were astonished about the 500-limit. Why didn’t the game company want to earn more money? The weapons would be sold out within minutes!

However, this news was very detailed. Therefore, some players believed that. They did not care about the new content in the new version of the game. Yet, they made a note to purchase the new epic weapon once the new version was updated.

Seeing how intense the discussions were, Ma Yiqun could not hide his smile.

So this is what accomplishment feels like!

When he was still at Shang Yang Games, the players would be nonchalant to the release of the new game versions. They only received a few feedbacks, and most of them were criticizing the updates.

He looked at Tengda Games.

The players were begging for a new game version. Before the content of the new updated version was revealed, the players had really prepared their money and were waiting eagerly.

This was the difference!

Ma Yiqun could not wait to see what happened once the new version was released.

Buzz… Buzz…

The phone on the table vibrated. The caller ID was not displayed. There was only a long chain of numbers.

Ma Yiqun looked at it and saw that it was a number he was familiar with. He hesitated for a while before rejecting the call.

…

In the blink of an eye, it was already 12 in the afternoon.

There were three smartly-dressed delivery men at the entrance of the company. They were each carrying a huge insulated delivery box.

“Huh? The equipment of the deliverymen changed?” Ma Yiqun was stunned.

The delivery men yesterday were dressed casually, and they did not use the same insulated delivery box.

However, their appearance today changed drastically!

The three delivery men wore a standardized yellow and blue uniform. Their uniforms were different from ordinary uniforms that were cheap and of bad quality. Their uniform used high-quality fabric, had detailed tailoring, and was relatively fashionable.

The three deliverymen looked pretty energetic. Coupled with their uniform and the new, custom-made, and standardized insulated delivery box; they appeared pretty professional.

The key thing was the four gigantic words on it—Fish-Catching Take-Out!

The other employees stood up and were ready to have their lunch. They were also a little shocked at the changes to the appearance of the delivery men.

However, this was not all.

The crowd went to the pantry for their lunch. They saw the three delivery men open the insulated delivery box and take out many white porcelain bowls. The porcelain bowls were covered with an air-tight lid.

All the individual dishes were served on white porcelain dishes. The combo meals and rice bowls that some ordered were served using glass lunch boxes. The two-tier lunch boxes contained small compartments that contained various dishes and rice. The food was glistering under the light and looked greatly appetizing.

Lastly, the delivery men took out exquisite gold chopsticks and spoons. They were wrapped in clean paper bags and could be used directly after removing them from the paper bags.

The crowd collected the food that they ordered respectively. Some of them shared a few orders. They opened the lids together.

“Did our meal standards experience a complete upgrade?”

“I don’t think so. I think the dishes are the same. It’s just the utensils that were changed!”

“Really? The chef is still the same? Why do I feel like the visuals of the food improved tremendously?”

Ma Yiqun received his meal combo, too. There were two tiers in the lunch box. The proportion of meat and vegetables were adequate. It was totally unlike the greasy and salty food that one would find in ordinary restaurants. They were simple home-cooked meals, but they were served in a glass lunch box. The food looked extremely appetizing as the lights shone on it.

In no time, the delivery men had taken all the food out and were arranging their stuff. “Enjoy your food. You can simply pack the utensils in a bag after finishing your food. There will be an assigned person who will collect them later in the evening.”

“You’re collecting them back?”

“Of course. These utensils are expensive.”

“True that. Thank you three for your hard work!”

“The welfare and benefits in our company are really awesome…”

Very soon, the delicious aroma from the food permeated the entire pantry.

As Ma Yiqun was eating his combo meal, he felt that this was the most delicious food he had ever eaten. As compared to restaurants outside, the Fish-Catching Internet Cafe used less oil and less salt. The various ingredients used were also very fresh. This was undeniable.

Although there wasn’t a lot of seasoning and the taste was worse, the food was definitely healthy.

The original meals were delivered using lunch boxes. Although the food tasted good, their appearance seemed cheap. It made people feel like they were having ten-something yuan food sold at roadside stalls. There was also a lack of ceremony when they ate with disposable wooden chopsticks and plastic lunch boxes.

“I had originally planned to cook at home and bring it to work. I’ve thrown the idea away. There was no way the food I cooked would be better than this.”

“This is nutritious and healthy. I do not need to worry about my health when eating. Moreover, these are all home-cooked meals. I wouldn’t get tired of these dishes even after a long time. I’m blessed to be Boss Pei’s employee! Other people would never enjoy such benefits!”

“How much do you think this combo cost for outsiders?”

“I think it costs at least twenty yuan.”

“Twenty? Don’t forget that these utensils need to be returned! The labor cost of that is twice that of other food delivery services. I think this costs thirty yuan.”

“Thirty seems a little expensive. I doubt anyone could afford that for a long time…”

“What are you guys saying? These are internal employee benefits. Do you think that Boss Pei is doing charity? Why would he sell such good stuff to ordinary people?”

“Didn’t this say Fish-Catching Take-Out? He is obviously planning to create a new food delivery brand!”

Lin Wan held her meal combo and was enjoying her food.

She was used to having all kinds of delicacies. It felt nicely different to taste this kind of exquisite home-cooked meals occasionally. She was a little emotional as she ate.

In the six months that she was at Tengda, she seemed to always be moved by the touching scenarios that happened here.

Boss Pei was treating his employees too well! How could the world not shower such a good boss with love?

Lin Wan finally made up her mind. She found a number on her phone. She had decided to do something within her means.
