Chapter 394: Chapter 140: Exchange of Persons Period!_3

Does Tengjing really lack talent?

Externally, they’re certainly not lacking.

But when it comes to the number one player, they do lack.

The company’s strength is evident to all.

If possible, Ling Zhetao wishes he could poach the entire staff of the number one player.

But that’s just impossible.

So, he has to settle for the next best thing.

Think about it.

The ones who climb to the director or manager positions at the number one player, those can’t just be positions Mr. Ke decides on a whim, right?

No matter how awesome you are, Mr. Ke, you have to consider the thoughts of your employees.

The person you pick has to have the support of the staff, right?

Otherwise, when you roll out a new game, who’s going to help you brainstorm and perfect those god-level project plans?

"Hmm... okay," Ke Jin pondered for a moment, glanced again at the ’Best Employee Scoreboard’ that had been moved to a corner of his office, and then nodded in agreement.

He was indeed in desperate need of someone capable of taking on the general manager position.

When Tengjing sends someone over, he could first use the system’s [Assistant Recruitment Mechanism] to test the other side’s inner thoughts and rule out the possibility of commercial espionage. Then he could rest assured and employ them.

As for his own employees...

Hmm... his own employees are really not worth much.

He has no idea why Tengjing fancies them so much.

If they want them, give them.

We don’t have anything else, but let’s stick to being genuine.

"Then on Mr. Ke’s end, how many employees can be exchanged?" Ling Zhetao, suppressing the joy in his heart, inquired.

His expectation was two.

Snatching two managers would already be a big win.

But to his surprise, Ke Jin’s next words gave him an extra delight.

At first, Ling Zhetao was a bit puzzled.

Because it seemed like there was a rustling sound of counting coming from the other end of the phone.

He had no idea what was being counted.

Then he hears.

"1, 2, 3, 4, 5... Let’s give you five."

Ling Zhetao was stunned when he heard this.

Goodness...

Employee exchange is supposed to be a serious matter, so why does it sound like you’re casually ticking off names from an employee roster...

"Uh... Mr. Ke, the employees we’re exchanging are the annual best employees, significant for sure, so we need at least director-level candidates..." Ling Zhetao emphasized uneasily.

Ke Jin nodded, saying seriously, "Yes, they’re all managers."

Managers? Isn’t that easy to say?

If I say he’s a manager, he’s a manager.

Who dares to object?

"That’s great! Mr. Ke really is someone who can achieve great things. I’ll wait for your news, and not disturb you further for now!" Ling Zhetao, afraid of saying too much, quickly hung up the phone after exchanging a few pleasantries.

The moment he hung up, a sharpness flashed in his eyes.

Hmph!

A showpiece in exchange for five core members of your company!

Let’s see if the number one player doesn’t get into a flurry this time?

Once you’re in disarray, Tengjing will boldly poach employees, offering double the salary!

Those employees who can’t see the future will naturally all turn over to my side!

Kid, you’re far from ready to match up with an old hand like me in the workplace!

Meanwhile.

In Jianglin City, at the number one player, General Manager’s Office.

Ke Jin’s gaze shifted away from the scoreboard.

He had just said five.

He chose five people with the most ’positive’ marks on the scoreboard.

These employees had once helped the company make money maliciously, truly detestable.

Keeping them around would only lead to trouble.

But Ke Jin hadn’t noticed at the moment.

It was only after hanging up the phone that he realized.

The fifth person can’t be given away!

Fifth in the rankings was Gou Chehua.

In two years, he had accumulated three ’positive’ marks.

However, considering that Gou Chehua had been wholeheartedly dedicated to the company, almost to the point of blood and sweat.

Moreover, his three ’positive’ marks were almost all accumulated by the company in the previous year, finding various ways to expand the company’s publicity channels, and even privately running web events to draw in player spending.

But in the past year, for unknown reasons, perhaps due to being busy, he didn’t have time for those trivial things, so a ’positive’ hadn’t been added for a long time, and the ink of the last stroke had already dried up.

This one absolutely can’t be given away.

"Then we’re still one short."

"Should we proceed to the next in line?"

"But the next one is Cheng Bage, also can’t be given away."

"The next after is the head of the finance department... I remember the last time I gave her a ’positive’, it was because she brought in a sponsorship for ’Hollow Knight’. However, that sponsorship didn’t amount to much, and the total revenue from the sponsorship all went to the number one player’s Charity Aid Station. Hmm... this won’t do either, as her merit is incomplete."

For a moment, Ke Jin found himself suddenly unable to find a suitable fifth candidate.

Beyond that, darn it, it’s Baby Yu!

Adding a ’positive’ for Baby Yu was because she had won the annual best art award for ’Infinite’, and after the strong insistence of all employees, Ke Jin reluctantly added a few strokes, but she herself hadn’t really done anything dumb; it was an undeserved calamity.

"Ss... this is really problematic."

Just as Ke Jin was at a loss for what to do.

"Knock knock."

The office door was knocked twice.

Immediately following, a plump figure pushed the door open with a face full of excitement.

With a ruddy complexion, he exclaimed aloud,

"Mr. Ke, I’m back from my vacation!!"
