Chapter 40 Borrowing the "Dragon Slaying Sword"
We have been deeply involved in the gaming field for nearly ten years.
Cheng Tianxiang is proficient in high-end graphics, underlying engines, front-end program production , back-end decryption and encryption, and resource packaging.
As a result... he was poached by the Zhao Group and asked to write... an app program.
At that time, the Zhao Group wanted to enter the Internet industry and was poaching outstanding programmers from everywhere.
A cerebral palsy headhunter found him.
They offered him an olive branch at a price twice as high as his previous company.
He was tempted and stepped into this deep pit.
Soon, both the group and he realized that this was a lose-lose deal.
Because the group wanted to make apps, but he only knew how to make games.
The group thought he was an expert in low-level technology, and he was indeed an expert in low-level technology, but he was an expert in low-level data.
The two sides glared at each other, and then...they blacklisted the headhunter and sued the headhunting company.
However... the Zhao Group is large and can afford to keep idle people. In addition, there was a war for talent in the Internet at that time, and each company would rather suffer losses than give talented people to other companies.
Therefore, the Zhao Group kept its promise and signed him with double salary, and also provided him with the rank and treatment as promised.
But he was demoted to a branch company and left idle.
I guess they are waiting to let him come out when the group enters the gaming industry.
Or maybe…
Raise him until he is useless and no longer a threat, then fire him...
After finishing a cigarette, Cheng Tianxiang sighed, pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray, touched his hair that witnessed his strength, returned to the table, and prepared to write a few more lines of code to practice.
Just as he was still slacking off at work, suddenly, there was a knock on the office door. "Knock, knock, knock."
Cheng Tianxiang raised his head from the computer screen and shouted, "Come in."
The office door opened and a young man came in.
The young man was a little serious. He came in and said unceremoniously, "Mr. Cheng, Mr. Wang wants to see you."
"Mr. Wang?" Cheng Tianxiang was stunned.
Mr. Wang is the general manager of the branch and an important figure in the entire group.
And he was just a nominal technical director in the branch company.
How...does he find himself?
…
Half an hour later, Cheng Tianxiang walked out of the general manager's office in a daze.
He...was demoted again.
Mr. Wang said that he was going to transfer him to be the technical director of a game project to give him some training.
It lasts about half a year.
After the project is completed, he can choose to stay in that company or transfer back to the branch, depending on his own wishes.
Cheng Tianxiang wanted to fight back.
But Mr. Wang said that this was the headquarters' intention and he should either pay the penalty for breach of contract and resign, or obey the company's arrangements.
Cheng Tianxiang has children, a wife, a mortgage, and a car loan at home, so he has no choice...
Looking up at the sky, Cheng Tianxiang felt a little depressed: One wrong step, every step is wrong. When will this day end...
I am a big shot in the gaming field, but now I am like a beggar, being chased here and there, and I can't even quit my job...
Why.
Forget it, let’s go check out that game project.
I hope I won’t let myself down…
…
At the same time, similar things happened in several branches of the Zhao Group.
Several buried , idle, or...emerging talents were transferred from their positions for the same reasons.
The group did not explain the specific reason for the transfer, but only told them that they would join a company called [Chen Yu] to participate in the production of a game project for half a year...
After the project is over, you can choose to transfer back to the company or stay in that company...
…
The Jin Mao Tower on Monday.
After two days of cleaning and tidying up, Chenyu Information Technology Co., Ltd. was officially listed on the 18th floor.
Because there won't be too many employees in the short term, Chen Yan divided the office lobby into two parts.
One part is the office area, which occupies two-thirds and can accommodate about 12 workstations.
The other part is furnished with bookshelves, tables, sofas, etc., and has become a rest corner.
In addition to the office lobby, the company also has two offices and a conference room.
The conference room is used for meetings.
There are two offices, one is used as the general manager's office by Chen Yan, and the other one... is temporarily vacant.
Chen Yan planned to give Yu Qiaoqiao a surprise: to give her some special mud to make.
At this time, Yu Qiaoqiao was doing her homework in the future clay sculpture room, while Chen Yan and Zhao Ying were chatting about business in the general manager's office next door.
Sitting on the sofa in the office, Chen Yan held the resume that Zhao Ying brought to him, and he was amazed as he read it.
"Oh my god? Master Tianxiang?"
"Hasn't he retired from the gaming industry a long time ago? How did you get him here?"
"Is this the [round-faced fat phoenix]?"
"No way? She's a top artist in the independent game industry. She's very strong in both game interface design and art."
"【tank】?"
"He... he can't be the independent game planning boss who was popular on Tieba for a while, right?"
"Hasn't he disappeared for a long time?"
"Why did you come out?"
"This is……"
Zhao Ying responded to Chen Yan with perfunctory "hmm" and "ah" while "wandering" around the general manager's office, fiddling with a flower or putting a book away, totally... not listening.
After a while, Chen Yan finished reading the resume in his hand and looked up at Zhao Ying in surprise, "Brother Ying! You are amazing! How did you poach so many big guys?"
As someone who has been immersed in the gaming industry for many years, Chen Yan knows almost every name on the list.
The five people headed by Cheng Tianxiang are all big names in the independent game circle.
Some are lead programmers who have created well-known games, some are UI masters with amazing artistic skills, and there are also senior game planners who are in the same profession as Chen Yan.
This list is simply shining with gold.
Chen Yan felt as if he was killing a pig and then borrowed the Dragon Slaying Sword.
Hearing Chen Yan's question, Zhao Ying finally gave up plucking Chen Yan's flowers. She waved her hand nonchalantly.
“That’s how I dug it.”
"What's the big deal?"
Chen Yan said happily, "This is really incredible. They are all my predecessors. The world is full of their legends."
After that, Chen Yan asked, "By the way, when can they get there?"
Zhao Ying said concisely, "Afternoon."
Chen Yan was startled and stood up quickly, "So fast? Then I have to clean up and leave a good impression on them."
As he said this, he prepared to leave the office and clean up.
Seeing Chen Yan was about to leave, Zhao Ying blinked, then pushed Chen Yan back onto the sofa.
"Wait a moment. I have a few things I haven't told you yet."
