Chapter 397: Chapter 141: The Top Player Does Not Keep Idle People!_3

"Kid, you’re not... gay, are you?"

Fortunately, the talkative Bao Jingbi mentioned his fiancée, who was also preparing to come to Jianglin with him. If things went well at Head player, they planned to settle down in Jianglin.

That assuaged Ke Jin’s concerns.

Soon, the driver took them both back to Head player headquarters.

The company also threw a warm welcome party for Bao Jingbi.

After all, everyone knew about Bao Jingbi before he arrived - that he could lead a team of a thousand on his own at Tengjing and had produced many hits with better revenue than Head player’s total.

It was like a big shot visiting.

Instead of being alienated, everyone was all over him, bombarding him with all sorts of curious questions.

Bao Jingbi didn’t put on airs, answering every question.

More importantly, since these old employees weren’t under his supervision and didn’t need to establish his authority, Oasis was where he planned to make his mark.

He quickly became one of the gang.

Ke Jin had everything planned.

As the newcomer, Bao Jingbi would start by learning and adapting at the headquarters. Once Gou Chehua sorted out the initial personnel transfers in Oasis and stabilized the company, they would switch places.

Bao Jingbi was, of course, completely compliant with the arrangements.

However, as he waited, Bao Jingbi suddenly felt something was off.

The first day, he laughed and joked with his colleagues.

The second day, he was still laughing and joking with them.

A week later...

He realized that aside from laughing and joking, there seemed to be nothing else...

No, wait.

What about the games?

What about the new game projects?

If we’re talking about Head player’s previous hit "Eternity" and its huge success, following Tengjing’s work culture, they’d give the staff a two-day break at most before diving head first into discussing new game development and planning.

How come it’s been nearly a month since the Eternity event, and I’ve been here for a week, yet...

Apart from routine maintenance of old games, do you not have anything else to do?

Don’t you need to discuss new projects?

Unable to contain himself, Bao Jingbi secretly asked Cheng Bage.

"Cheng bro, our new project... Have you guys started it without telling me?"

Cheng Bage’s reaction left him even more bewildered.

"New project? What new project?"

"Games... Doesn’t our company have a target for the next game?"

"Oh, Mr. Ke might still be writing it."

"Hold on, a big thing like a project plan and Mr. Ke is writing it alone? The employees aren’t involved?"

"Isn’t that normal?" Cheng Bage’s retort completely stumped Bao Jingbi.

How the hell is that normal!

That’s just...

Bao Jingbi had yet to voice his thoughts when he saw the employees from the next cubicles coming closer, each with a look on their faces that said, ’Isn’t it normal for the upper management to do all the planning and then just hand it over to the staff?’

It was then that Bao Jingbi realized something, his face showing shock.

Good lord...

Is everyone at Head player just idle?

Is Mr. Ke the only one who actually does work?

Meanwhile, at Tengjing Game headquarters.

"How’s the Black Horse Department doing?" Ling Zhetao asked his secretary.

"Mr. Ling, there’s been no movement so far."

"Hmm... Let’s wait a bit longer, maybe they are just not accustomed yet?" Ling Zhetao waved his hand to dismiss the secretary but then tapped his desk lightly, deep in thought.

A week ago, he had also greeted the five employees who came from afar from Head player with high respect.

When he heard that a director came with four managers.

He was thrilled.

After asking about their salaries, he made a sweeping gesture.

The pay for all five of you will be more than doubled!

And to prevent them from leaving, he immediately had them sign a five-year contract.

That way, even if they had been tasked with ’spying on Tengjing’s internals’ by Mr. Ke before coming, they wouldn’t be able to escape.

Just stay put at Tengjing! Work hard, and promotions and raises won’t be absent from your future!

We at Tengjing are different from Head player; we have a very comprehensive system for employee advancement!

In addition, Ling Zhetao set up a new department called ’Black Horse’ for these gentlemen, implying they should stand out from the fierce internal competition at Tengjing like dark horses!

He assigned over a hundred employees to the department, all under the charge of Director Deng Shuyuan!

But as time went by.

These lords didn’t display the efficiency of ’producing a game every month or two’ as they did at Head player.

In fact, quite the opposite!

A week passed, and the entire department was still in a standby mode.

Forget about game development progress.

They hadn’t even started a project plan.

They just clocked in and out on time every day, casually, which led to some grumbling from other departments.

All quelled by Ling Zhetao, for the time being.

Although he had some reservations in his heart.

Considering the industry rumor that ’Head player doesn’t carry deadweight.’

"Maybe they’re just not acclimating well," Ling Zhetao muttered.

"Give them another half a month to adjust."

"By then, the plan for the new game should be ready."

Now that everything that needed explaining was explained, the next Chapter will introduce a new game!
