Chapter 461: Chapter 159: Mr. Ke also has a secretary spicy!_2

This is hardly about hiring employees.

This is practically akin to black slaves in the capitalist era, with no personal privacy whatsoever from the plantation owner.

Therefore.

Ke Jin’s interview method was very simple.

He disregarded all the fancy stuff.

He looked only at ability.

And not the ability one had in the past.

He looked only at present ability.

Whichever position it was, he directly assigned tasks that matched it.

If one could complete them, one could stay.

Not to mention dealing with a sister he was meeting for the first time.

Even for Bao Jingbi, the general manager of the Oasis branch, Mr. Ke had directly thrown him a copy of "Assassin’s Creed" to work on.

Bao Jingbi could secure his position only because he had excellently completed his task,

not because he had previously been the game director at Tengjing’s big factory.

"Take these issues mentioned in the reports, refine and summarize them as quickly as possible, and then give them to me, um... not much, just one solution will do, one for each issue," Ke said.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Yuan took the folder.

Her long eyelashes fluttered a few times before she quickly skimmed through it.

About a few minutes later.

She put away the folder and began, a soft smile playing on her lips.

"Mr. Ke, I’ll go in order then."

"The interview for tomorrow afternoon needs to be conducted because, as the report suggests, if Silver Brilliance and other mobile game manufacturers join forces, it will pose significant resistance to the top player’s future mobile development. Accepting the interview in advance can leverage the media to clarify our company’s stance. As for what stance we want to express, Mr. Ke, you’ll need to decide on that," she said.

"Secondly, I suggest turning down the collaboration on customized skins with Nike. It’s not just because this foreign enterprise has had controversies in Huaxia Nation but more importantly, based on our company’s previous game pricing strategy which aims to be people-friendly, allowing more ordinary players to enjoy the game. Nike’s brand doesn’t match our company’s style and customized skins with their advertising could cause some player resentment to a certain extent," she added.

"Then, considering ’Game News’ wants to develop into a world-class gaming platform, I think it’s time we allow some game manufacturers to join, but it’s best to start with lower-tier manufacturers. Small manufacturers can help us drive down the joining price for larger ones in the future. Conversely, if big factories start first, they will squeeze out the ecological niche for future small manufacturers’ entry," she continued.

"As for that top player who has complained multiple times and is dissatisfied with the handling of his complaints..." At this point, she paused slightly and added with a smile, "I’m afraid this matter is beyond my experience, and I’ll need Mr. Ke to decide on it."

Mr. Ke Jin looked at the smiling and beautiful girl in front of him, momentarily stunned.

Smart person!

That was Mr. Ke Jin’s first assessment of her.

She was smart but not presumptuous, some matters are rather sensitive and could even determine the company’s future path of development.

While she offered rational suggestions, she didn’t take over and resolve them herself.

Mr. Ke Jin had already considered using tomorrow afternoon’s interview to send out more signals when he learned about the interview.

Her handling was faultless.

And as for the collaboration with Nike, Mr. Ke Jin had intended to reject it at first glance; she was quick to catch on to that as well.

The situation with ’Game News’ was exactly as she had put it.

If we start with collaborating with large factories,

and they come in and pay a channel promotion fee, this money might set a precedent.

After all, how to charge for channel fees is still new waters for ’Game News.’

Once a high price is established,

it will force subsequent smaller manufacturers to follow suit with this expensive marketing price.

And if too much money goes into marketing, it could impact game quality.

Charging low fees for large factories, on the other hand, would make other big companies want a piece of the action, still pressuring the survival environment for small factories that join later.

So, starting with smaller manufacturers before large ones is indeed a better move under the current circumstances where ’Game News’ isn’t lacking a financial chain.

As for the last point...

About that top player secretly banned by himself.

Qiao Yuan’s handling was akin to perfection.

She clearly perceived the unusual implications involved.

Think about it.

A player who recharged millions got banned?

And repeated appeals still didn’t result in an unban?

Which high-level executive had the audacity to do such a thing?

The person capable of making such a decision...

She dared not say, nor was it appropriate for her to do so.

Thus, using ’I lack the personal capability and experience to deal with this matter’ as a reason to pass it directly to him was the best solution.

Lost in thought, Mr. Ke Jin glanced at the system’s assessment of Qiao Yuan.

Just as expected.

Five-star general!

Recruitable!

"Congratulations, you’ve passed the interview, come to work tomorrow," Ke Jin said with a smile as he shook hands gently with Qiao Yuan and then called over the HR manager to take her to handle the onboarding process.

After the HR manager left with Qiao Yuan.

Only then did Ke Jin let out a long breath and stretched languidly.

Goodness.

Who would have thought that one day Mr. Ke would have his own personal secretary!

And such a capable one at that.

The future looks bright!

Once Qiao Yuan gets through a period of adjustment, she can start handling non-critical tasks directly on my behalf.

This will save me a lot of time.

...

The next day, he went to the agreed interview.

As a highly specialized gaming media + review team, Game News started early in the business, around the turn of the millennium.

Its popularity among Huaxia Nation’s gaming community is top-notch.

The company has numerous excellent game reviewers.

Zhang Heng, the vlogger behind "Zhang Talks Games," used to work at Game News before resigning to go solo. His resignation wasn’t due to a fallout with the company but rather a move for better opportunities.

The lead writer of the review team, Wangsi Libeici, also enjoys a significant reputation within the gaming community.

His reviews are famous for being "sharp and unique in perspective."

Oftentimes, he could pinpoint a game’s shortcomings or criticize game developers’ unseemly practices with profound and powerful writing.

Sometimes his pointed content could even stir up quite a commotion.

Therefore, Game News, a media company focused on the gaming industry ecosystem, has been a headache for many game developers.

However, to the company Top Player.

Wangsi Libeici has always given high praise.

He has even repeatedly expressed his admiration and approval for Top Player’s lead designer in various articles without reservation.

This interview was a result of his insistence, overriding others’ opinions, and he made a decisive application to conduct it.

It wasn’t until Ke Jin met Wangsi Libeici in person that he realized this reviewer, famous for his ’sharp pen,’ looked completely unlike his writing.

He was somewhat short and slight, dressed neatly.

The young face that looked scholarly was adorned with thick black-rimmed glasses, which added to his reserved demeanor.

Nothing like the temperamental older brother image Ke Jin had imagined.

"Mr. Ke, hello, I really appreciate you taking time out of your busy schedule to complete our interview. Let me introduce myself, my name is Li Bei."

"No Beici?"

"That’s my online pseudonym," Li Bei said with a light chuckle as he pushed up his glasses, then he asked if Ke Jin would be okay with starting the live stream.

Although it had been agreed upon before coming that this would be a live-streamed interview, and Ke Jin had consented,

Li Bei still double-checked just to be cautious.

After getting a nod from Ke Jin,

he then started the live stream.

"Hello everyone, welcome to the new episode of the Game News interview series. This time we’re honored to invite the game designer hailed as the new spokesperson for modern art—Mr. Ke Jin! Mr. Ke, please say hello to everyone."

"Good morning players, I’m Ke Jin," Ke Jin said, smiling and waving at the camera.

This was his first time participating in a live-streamed interview.

And even before taking part, he had confirmed repeatedly that this interview would only be promoted within the gaming community by Game News, which set his mind at ease.

Suddenly, as the live stream commenced,

more and more viewers who had reserved the stream in advance began flooding in.

The barrage of comments started rolling frantically.

"No way! Ke!"

"Holy moly, Baby Ke is so young?"

"And so handsome!!! I can’t even!"

"I couldn’t see Baby Ke’s face clearly under all the lights at the festival, but now with the sunlight from outside, yep, definitely a handsome fella! With looks like that, why even make games, I’ll take care of you~"

"Jealous of the sunshine that can touch Baby Ke’s face/blush/blush"

"So, what exactly is this ’touching’ position?"

"Top Player! Why did you ban my account???"
