Pei Qian had a kind smile on his face. “Yu Fei? Come, sit. Have some tea first.”
He had expected Yu Fei to come looking for him.
After all, he always had various reasons to avoid it. Yu Fei was not stupid. He should realize that the situation was not right.
However, Pei Qian had no choice. Wasn’t that because you were too important to the games department and could not be let go?
Now, the person-in-charge of the games department was really none other than Fei. Pei Qian could not relax with the others.
Thus, Pei Qian had already thought of an excuse. He had to think of a way to continue bluffing Yu Fei into staying.
Yu Fei sat down on the sofa reluctantly and took a sip of tea very perfunctorily.
Previously, he had at least had some hope. He felt that he would be able to leave the games department in a week at most and go back to writing books steadily.
Now, Hu Xianbin had been transferred away. How long would he, the chief designer of the games department, have to work?
There were no accurate predictions at all!
Yu Fei looked at Boss Pei and prepared to lay his cards on the table. He could not go on anymore.
“Boss Pei, I really cannot take over the job anymore.”
“My readers call me a no-show every day. I told them about my new book three months ago, but they haven’t even seen me.”
“Previously, I had just taken over the games department and was not familiar with many jobs. Thus, I was very busy every day. Then, I said in the reader chat that I am now the current chief planner of the games department. I am designing a new game and have no time to write a new book.”
“In the end, none of my readers believed me. They even said that I’m either stupid or bad. I don’t even know how to make up reasons. All I do is slack and confuse my readers…”
“Boss Pei, I’m so wronged!”
“I’ve already decided on my readers this month. I have to start on a new book. I can’t delay any longer!”
“What’s more, the design draft for Ghost General 2 has been completed. You can just promote someone from the gaming department to be the chief planner and continue advancing. There’s no difficulty at all!”
Yu Fei was really wronged.
Previously, when he was working on Eternal Reincarnation, he said that he was helping out in Tengda Games and had also participated in the design of the game. The readers’ group gave him likes and said that he was really awesome. He wrote it as an official history.
However, when it came to Ghost General 2, the situation was not right.
That was because readers felt that it was reasonable for a writer like him to participate in his own creation of Eternal Reincarnation. However, what had developing a new game got to do with him?
Tengda Games is filled with talent. How could they ask you for help?
Oh, I understand now. This lousy author must have felt comfortable using Eternal Reincarnation previously. He must have become used to slacking. That’s why he lied to the readers that he wanted to continue helping and the games department did not allow him to leave.
To put it bluntly, he was too lazy to write and wanted to slack for a few more months.
How could that happen? Even the donkeys of the production team did not dare to rest like that!
Thus, the atmosphere in the reader group became more and more abnormal. Everyone suspected that Yu Fei was actually slacking even though he said he was helping.
Yu Fei was very helpless. The key was that he could not talk about the contents of Ghost General 2 in the reader chat. The new game had to be kept a secret.
The readers would not believe it even if he said that he was the chief planner of Tengda!
Thus, Yu Fei had spoken to Boss Pei openly. His intentions were clear. In any case, the design for Ghost General 2 had been completed. Boss Pei, the chief designer of the gaming department could just find someone to replace him. He would not do anything!
Pei Qian’s expression immediately became serious. “There’s such a thing?”
“How about this? I’ll get Assistant Xin to give you a commission or a letter of appointment. We’ll stamp it and officially assign you to be the person-in-charge of the games department!”
“When the time comes, show this contract to the readers. I believe they will definitely have nothing to say.”
Yu Fei nodded. “Yes, if there is an official appointment, then it is indeed…”
However, he quickly reacted. “That’s not right, Boss Pei. I’m not talking about the appointment contract!”
Good lord, I was nearly hoodwinked by Boss Pei. What the hell?
Yu Fei tried his best to get the topic back on track. “Boss Pei, my new book is really going to be released! I can’t break my promise!”
Pei Qian pondered for a moment and said, “Didn’t you just say that the design draft for Ghost General 2 has been completed? You just have to get someone to keep an eye on the rest of the work.”
“Since that’s the case, you can start writing your new book. I won’t hold you up.”
“You can also get people from the games department, oh no, even the people in charge of Tengda to tip you with your new book.”
“We might as well ask Ma Yiqun to put your new book on Zhongdian Chinese Network for half a month. What do you think?”
Yu Fei was speechless. “This…”
“This suggestion might be tempting, but… why do I feel like something is amiss?”
Yu Fei could not understand.
Logically speaking, if he was the person-in-charge of the games department, wouldn’t he be using his power to distribute books on Zhongdian Chinese Network and take up the recommendation spot on the home page?
However, his main identity was an author of Zhongdian Chinese Network. There was nothing wrong with recommendation resources.
Pei Qian saw that Yu Fei was obviously tempted and decided to strike while the iron was hot. “Also, you were originally an author of Zhongdian Chinese Network. Do you have to tread carefully around Ma Yiqun for everything?”
“However, if you become the person-in-charge of the games department, that would be amazing. Not only would you be on the same level as Ma Yiqun, you would also be the person-in-charge. What’s more, the department would be more core than him. Wouldn’t he have to suck up to you?”
“From now on, you can write as many novels as you want and cut them off whenever you want. You don’t have to look at the editors’ faces anymore!”
“It’s a lot of benefits for you to keep your position as the person-in-charge of the games department!”
“What’s more, you’ve been busy for more than three months. You’ve already adapted to the work in the games department and become familiar with it. Now is the best time to do it. It would be a loss if you leave just like that.”
“When you go to work, which is when you start on a new project, you have to be busy for a few days to design. Normally, other designers would keep an eye on your progress. You can write during working hours. Your efficiency would be higher.”
“Every now and then, when I don’t feel like writing anymore, I would ask my readers to grant me leave, saying that Boss Pei has given me a new task and that the new game is about to be released. I don’t think your readers would have any objections.”
Yu Fei’s mouth was slightly agape. Obviously, his mentality had changed subtly.
He had to admit that Boss Pei’s words had moved him a lot.
Pei Qian continued, “What’s more, you’re considered the fifth-generation heir of Tengda Games now. The fifth-generation heir is not bad!”
Yu Fei was a little confused. “Huh? Why?”
Pei Qian: “Er… this is mainly because… it’s big?”
“Ahem ahem, that’s not important. In any case, the Five Dynasties is a place where the top and bottom are underway. It’s a place where the future generations will follow. I believe that you will definitely be able to achieve glory!”
“What’s more, we haven’t found a suitable person to replace you yet. You should work first and write novels while working on the game. Try it out first. What if there’s no problem?”
“I’ll ask Assistant Xin to give you a commission later to clarify things with the readers.”
Yu Fei nodded silently. “…Alright.”
He had to say that what Boss Pei said made sense.
Before Yu Fei came in, he had had a mentality of cutting off all means of retreat. He thought that he had to let Boss Pei let him go today no matter what.
However, before he left, he suddenly felt that it was not that unacceptable to watch the game develop while writing.
He would work on it for a while more then. After all, Ghost General 2 was the busiest time for him to produce the design draft.
The design draft was already out. He was no longer as busy as before. If he left now, wouldn’t he be making a loss?
What’s more, what Boss Pei said made sense. With the identity of the person-in-charge of the games department, many things would be much easier.
Take leave, for example. If he did not want to write anymore, he could push the blame to Boss Pei. How perfect!
Hardcore Reviews took leave to ensure that no readers would find fault with them.
Pei Qian could not help but smile as he watched Yu Fei leave.
You little brat, you want to leave after coming to Tengda?
Go to hell!
It was a good start for Yu Fei to integrate into Tengda successfully.
Perhaps the selection of the person-in-charge of Tengda could be more unique in the future. Wouldn’t it be a killing if he could find more talents like Yu Fei?
…
At the same time, in the GOG project team…
Eric had already gone to Europe. Zhao Xuming had been traveling all over the country recently to arrange for offline competitions. He had also brought some subordinates with him, so the project team looked much quieter.
Zhang Yuan came over as usual to discuss GOG’s version update plan with the current person-in-charge, Zhang Nan.
However, the moment he met Zhang Nan, he was pulled aside by Zhang Nan secretly before he could talk about the version update.
“You’re really not on this Suffering Travels?”
“How did you do that?!”
Zhang Nan looked shocked.
After the new list of suffering travels was released, it caused a huge uproar in the group of people in charge.
Some people were struck by lightning, some secretly rejoiced, some people were like the members of the first cycle of suffering, wondering why a few people were not selected.
Zhang Yuan was obviously the most glaring.
They had already created such a huge scene, but they were still not selected to suffer? What was going on?
Could he have struck a deal with Boss Pei?
That wouldn’t do. Boss Pei was an objective and fair person.
He could only say that Zhang Yuan must have a secret!
When Zhang Nan had just taken over as the person-in-charge, Zhang Yuan had told her about his worries. He had said that he felt that he would definitely not be able to escape the next cycle of suffering and was thinking of ways to avoid this kind of misfortune.
Now, he has succeeded!
Zhang Nan became very curious because this concerned her own safety.
She realized that apart from Li Yaling, there were two other females in charge of the Suffering Travels!
As the person-in-charge of GOG, Zhang Nan immediately felt immense pressure.
She had just taken over as the person-in-charge not long ago after all. She had not been on the list of suffering yet. However, according to the current trend, GOG project team would probably be on the list of the third and fourth episodes with her name given her important status in Tengda.
Zhang Yuan was her straw to clutch at.
Zhang Yuan smiled knowingly. “Of course I know how to save myself!”
