Chapter 1319 - I’m Just Going Through The Process

At night, Hu Xianbin arrived at Ming House and had a farewell meal with everyone in the games department.

In the afternoon, he had a very good chat with Boss Ma. At first, he was a little dissatisfied with being transferred to the live-stream department. However, he no longer had that feeling.

He felt that Boss Ma was a very reasonable person. He agreed with his views and was very good at executing them.

With Boss Ma and Boss Pei’s relationship, it was very convenient to ask for resources.

That way, Hu Xianbin felt that he could also show off on the live-stream platform!

There were many people having dinner tonight.

Apart from his old friends from the gaming department, there were also some old acquaintances from GOG’s project team, including Zhang Nan. After all, GOG’s project team and the gaming department had not been separated previously. They were very familiar with each other.

Everyone ate as they discussed recent events, from GOG’s international invitational tournament to the new game, and finally, inevitably, Suffering Travels.

Someone asked curiously, “Old Hu, how much suffering did you go through during Suffering Travels? Was the documentary exaggerated or was that your true state?”

After hearing his question, many people, including Yu Fei, could not help but listen intently.

Who could guarantee that the area of suffering and travel would not extend to core members of the department?

What’s more, the contents of Suffering Travels were too mysterious. It indeed made people curious.

Hu Xianbin put down his chopsticks and cleared his throat solemnly. “Suffering Travels…”

“It is indeed a little torturous, but it is also important.”

“The documentary that you guys saw was a little exaggerated. After all, it was a program effect. However, looking back at it carefully, there are actually still many benefits apart from suffering.”

Everyone was a little surprised. “Many benefits?”

“That’s right.” Hu Xianbin nodded. “First, walking outside would indeed help to strengthen your body and relax your mind!”

“This kind of opportunity to completely relax and interact with nature is rare.”

“Think about it. This experience might not happen even once in your lifetime. Isn’t it good to have a paid experience now?”

“Secondly, even though it’s suffering, it’s actually training. There’s a sense of achievement after completing the goal.”

“Lastly, after the people in charge experienced hardships together, their relationship improved greatly. This would also greatly improve the cooperation and help between the various departments in the future.”

“I think this is Boss Pei’s way of selecting outstanding employees!”

“You can only have a strong will and become a talent that Boss Pei truly trusts after going through the baptism of torturous travel, physical and mental tests!”

“Therefore, if someone wants to be noticed by Boss Pei as soon as possible and wants to challenge themselves, they might as well take the initiative to participate in Suffering Travels.”

“Actually, those projects are not that difficult. I often get first place in rock climbing competitions.”

Hu Xianbin was full of nonsense as well.

He had no choice. If it was really that bad, who would dare go again?

He couldn’t possibly become one of the few people who suffered, right? That would be too miserable.

Of course, everyone had to have a share in such meaningful activities!

Thus, before they returned from the torturous trip, the first batch of people in charge had already spoken in advance. No one could badmouth the torturous trip when they returned!

Of course, he could not be too fake. He had to bluff as many people as he could while ensuring that people would believe him.

Everyone had different reactions after hearing Hu Xianbin’s words.

There were indeed people who believed him.

That was becuase Hu Xianbin’s words made sense.

Apart from Zhang Yuan and a few other person-in-charge, the other core employees had not come into contact with Wu Bin’s latest theoretical research results. They had different opinions on the deeper meaning of Suffering Travels.

However, everyone could tell that the people who went on a trip were all the people in charge of Tengda’s various departments. What’s more, they were the people in charge of the core departments who had made major contributions!

Boss Pei would rather delay their working hours than arrange for them to suffer. Why?

Obviously, according to Hu Xianbin, this selection and test of outstanding employees was a challenge to himself.

What’s more, if he were to think from another perspective, if everyone who participated in the torturous travel was in charge and an ordinary employee joined in… Wouldn’t that be a chance to show his face in front of Boss Pei?

At that time, if Tengda wanted to start a new project or the person-in-charge of the department was transferred away for various reasons, people who had left an impression on Boss Pei would definitely have a chance to be promoted and promoted!

Some people felt that it was good to be an ordinary employee, but others still hoped to display their talents in higher positions.

Thus, Hu Xianbin’s words obviously made sense.

Others were indifferent.

Don’t even think about making me suffer!

These people did not want to be in charge. They felt that the current position was quite good. The benefits were maxed out, and the workload was just right.

As for Zhang Nan, she was secretly laughing.

That was because he knew that it was ridiculous after hearing Wu Bin’s theory from Zhang Yuan and Hu Xianbin’s explanation. He had completely misunderstood Boss Pei.

This group of people in charge had put in a lot of effort to deceive others into suffering.

The corners of Hu Xianbin’s mouth twitched when he saw Zhang Nan laughing.

What was with all the sarcasm?

Don’t gloat. You’re the person-in-charge now. You won’t be able to escape the torture since you’re in charge of GOG!

Hu Xianbin cleared his throat. “Why, do you think I’m wrong?”

Zhang Nan smiled. “Of course not.”

“Actually, the way to verify it is very simple. You just have to take the initiative to apply for Suffering Travels and see if Boss Pei would approve it.”

According to Wu Bin’s theory, Suffering Travels was meant to correct the wrong views of the workaholics.

If he took the initiative to apply for a torturous trip, it would prove that he was beyond cure and a workaholic.

At that time, it would not be strange to be made to suffer, let alone travel.

Hu Xianbin was very indignant. “It’s indeed possible that it might not be approved, but that’s because torturous travel is an elite selection system. Not everyone has a chance to go!”

“They signed up. If they don’t have enough experience and ability, they might not be selected. Isn’t that normal?”

Both of them had their own opinions and felt that there was no problem with their interpretation.

The others looked at each other, not knowing who to listen to.

That was because it was rare for the people in charge to have such huge differences in their interpretation of Boss Pei’s intentions.

In the past, one person-in-charge would be the one to explain while the other person-in-charge would nod and agree. They would quickly reach a consensus after adding on.

However, this time, both of them seemed to make sense, and neither could convince the other.

Zhang Nan had wanted to explain Wu Bin’s theory to Hu Xianbin at first. However, there were too many people at this venue. It was not appropriate to be too flamboyant about content that involved the core of the Tengda spirit. It could only be spread in the small circle of the person-in-charge. Secondly, she felt that Hu Xianbin was obviously up to no good. He wanted to cheat others because he would not suffer in the short term. She did not want to share the correct answers with him.

Thus, Zhang Nan did not explain much. Neither of them could convince the other. They did not continue arguing and quickly ended the conversation.

However, there were two different voices in the interpretation of suffering travel. Everyone present silently noted this down.

…

…

November 16th, Friday…

In Dawn Games Games platform.

“Yan Qi, right? Hello, I’m He Desheng, the person-in-charge of Dream Realization Ventures.”

In the guest room, He Desheng shook hands warmly with Yan Qi.

Yan Qi felt a little overwhelmed by the favor. That was because his proposal had only been sent to him for slightly more than a week. It had actually replied so quickly.

In fact, Li Yada had already briefly spoken to him previously. She said that there would be a reply over there after some time. What’s more, she had already told Yan Qi to modify the design manuscript and make up for all the designs that had been axed because of the budget problem.

Li Yada did not fill in the details. Instead, she described the game in detail. In the end, if the budget estimate was not high enough, the game could be axed again. The key was for the investors to see that the game was in its best state.

Even though he had greeted them in advance, Yan Qi had not expected them to arrive so quickly.

More importantly, the person-in-charge of Dream Realization Ventures had come personally instead of letting Yan Qi go.

There might be thoughts of inspecting Yan Qi’s workspace here but it could still be said to be giving him face!

Was his plan too well-written?

Yan Qi did not think so. He only refreshed his understanding of Li Yada again. He felt that this person was too scary. The power behind him was beyond imagination.

In fact, he did not know that the reason why it had been delayed for so long was mainly because He Desheng was still in Shennongjia. He might have come over a long time ago if he had returned a few days earlier.

“Let me briefly explain the supplementary content.”

Yan Qi briefly explained the changes he had made to the design plan for “Shu Li”, mainly adding some new content.

He Desheng nodded. “Alright.”

“According to Dream Realization Ventures’ regulations, we have to send your company’s finance department to ask about some operations. However, don’t worry, we will definitely not interfere in the game design.”

“If there are no problems, we can officially sign the contract. We’ll transfer a hundred million yuan in two batches. We can add on to the follow-up development of the project.”

“The main requirement for sending the finance department is to be explained in advance. Think about it.”

Yan Qi was stunned for a moment. He quickly said, “Of course, there’s no problem. Our small workspace did not do very well in this area. Of course, I would be more than happy to have professional help to check it out. Then, I can focus my energy on developing games!”

“However, that’s all? Aren’t you going to study the design plan again?”

Such a huge investment had been made so easily. Yan Qi was very surprised and even a little unreal.

He Desheng smiled. “There’s nothing to see. I don’t understand games.”

“This investment has been decided a long time ago. I’m just here to go through the process.”

“Actually, Boss Pei has already seen your proposal and quite approved of it.”

“You don’t have to care about anything. Just work hard on creating this game.”
