Chapter 460: Chapter 159: Mr. Ke Has a Secretary Too!_1

"Mr. Ke, there’s an interview tomorrow afternoon with someone from Game News regarding the huge success of Cloud Top on both platforms," said Qiao Yuan.

"Mr. Ke, we received a call from Nike wanting to discuss a business partnership with you about the possibility of integrating some specific co-branded skins into Cloud Top."

"Mr. Ke, several S-tier game companies have recently been inquiring about whether they can be featured in ’Number One Intelligence’ and publish firsthand information on our APP."

"...Right, there’s a super player from Cloud Top who has contacted the dedicated customer service several times, saying that our company has wrongfully banned her account. She’s very angry and demands an explanation from you personally; otherwise, she threatens to fly directly to our headquarters to find you..."

"...Also, Silver Brilliance has started to unite with numerous mobile game developers in an attempt to collectively suppress our company, to prevent us from expanding too quickly on the mobile front and encroach on their market share."

"Anything else?" Ke Jin had just arrived at the company when Gou Chehua approached him with a folder in hand.

Ke Jin hadn’t even had the chance to enter his office, being bombarded with various pieces of information along the way.

Gou Chehua looked down at the report in his hand and quickly caught up, saying, "One last thing, there’s a lady who applied for the secretary position. Last week, she already passed the HR interview, the supervisor interview, and my interview. She’s waiting for the final BOSS interview with you."

Ke Jin paused, "Oh? Where is she?"

Three years!

Do you know what these three years have been like for me?

Every day, I’m living amidst a bombardment of information!

Big or small, I’ve been painstakingly dealing with every issue that comes up in the company.

On normal days, I might catch a break.

But during the period when a game is launched and sells well, the amount of information I need to deal with grows exponentially.

Now, there’s also an Oasis division to manage.

It’s becoming harder and harder for Ke Jin to cope.

Gou Chehua has been working hard to take on more workload.

But as a game director, he needs to dedicate even more energy to the overall game design.

Ke Jin urgently needs a high-quality secretary to help decrease the pressure.

But now, there’s an awkward situation.

The pressure that the top player will eventually face will gradually move from domestic capital to international capital.

Until finally, they are challenging the global gaming capital head-on.

After all, my philosophy in game design has always been to use the least amount of spending to bring the most joy and playability to players.

This is completely contrary to Blue Star’s mainstream gaming market practice of ’squeezing as much money as possible out with iterative updates.’

The pressure and challenges are clearly visible.

Secretaries who are professional and rich in management experience at large companies are rare, and they are sought-after talents wherever they go.

And to find one fit for the secretary position that will sooner or later challenge global gaming capital is even rarer.

Intelligence, ability, efficiency, communication, tact, adaptability, loyalty—every aspect is essential.

This is why Ke Jin has struggled to find the right secretary for the past three years.

Ke Jin even regrets it in his heart.

Had I known, I would have gotten myself a secretary right at the beginning when Cloud Top was established.

Back then, the requirements for a secretary weren’t so high; as long as they were professional enough, other skills could develop as the company grew.

But now, there’s finally another candidate who has passed three interviews.

The last one who made it through three rounds was last year, and during the final BOSS interview, Ke Jin detected through the system that

she wasn’t there to be a secretary; she was only there to rise up the ranks.

So, he decisively rejected her.

It’s just that I don’t know what this new candidate will be like.

"Mr. Ke, she is already waiting in the meeting room."

"Okay, give me the report folder, and then ask her to come directly to my office," said Ke Jin as he took the folder from Gou Chehua and walked ahead into the main office.

...

After a short while, several knocks on the door were heard.

"Come in."

As Ke Jin’s words fell, the door opened.

A woman dressed in a formal secretary’s uniform walked in.

"Hello Mr. Ke, my name is Qiao Yuan."

At first glance, although her beauty wasn’t breathtaking, her facial features were elegant and she exuded a refined air.

With her hair tied in a neat ponytail, even the locks by her temples were carefully fastened, exposing her clear cheeks to the fullest.

Her face, with just the right amount of makeup, had a look of respect in her eyes.

And confidence.

"Please take a seat," Ke Jin gestured before getting straight to the point, "My BOSS interview isn’t filled with probing into human nature or snooping into your personal life."

As he spoke, Ke Jin slid the report folder he was holding towards Qiao Yuan.

He disliked the interview tactics used by many companies that seemed like interrogating prisoners.

Questions like ’why did you choose our company,’ ’what do you think are your weaknesses,’ ’what are your salary expectations,’ ’can you accept overtime at the company,’ such brain-dead questions, Ke Jin had heard countless times during the 100 interviews three years ago to activate the system.

Please, I’m working for the money; if you pay me well, I’ll work my ass off, if you don’t pay enough, let’s just call it quits—it’s that simple.

Not to mention some of the HRs who act high and mighty, right off the bat they discriminate in the workplace, using ’educational background,’ ’qualifications,’ ’experience,’ and even marital status, whether you’ve been in a relationship, how many relationships you’ve had, why you broke up, and so on, asking every little detail.
