Chapter 98 Promotion Finally got promoted!

Just when Ye Xuan was about to try out the game that his colleagues praised so highly, a phone call interrupted his attempt.

Well, in the end I never played the game once.

Is it true that this kind of thing will become an unbreakable curse over time?

Ye Xuan answered the call while complaining in his heart, and he didn't know who called him using the company's internal line.

"NPC, this call is to formally notify you of your promotion." A deep, unfamiliar male voice mixed with distorted electric current sound, the person who answered the phone was slightly stunned, "Go to the Human Resources Department yourself."

Ye Xing reacted, suppressed his inner joy and asked, "Excuse me, what position did you get promoted to?"

Finally, one day he really got promoted! The big pie in the sky became a reality!

The other party did not respond immediately, perhaps because they wanted to leave some suspense and whet the appetite of the employee seeking a promotion, or perhaps they simply could not think of a name.

To be honest, Ye Xing couldn't guess what a real NPC like him could achieve. This profession was rare to begin with, and if you add up all the existing peers in the country, they might all be at the same level.

If he gets promoted, won't he become a leader in the industry?

This is a groundbreaking promotion...

The voice coming from the phone pulled him back to reality from his wild thoughts: "NPC Ye, from now on, you are the chief real-person NPC of our company, and you will be promoted to the head of the real-person NPC department."

The conversation ended with the other party hanging up neatly.

But this can't stop Ye Xing from wanting to complain.

What?

Chief? Manager?

He is the only real-life NPC in the entire company!

Who can manage this? Is this self-management?

"I knew You Meng wouldn't be so conscientious—" Ye Xing covered his eyes and sighed.

Before he finished speaking, someone asked behind him, "What can't you do?"

He was startled and took a quick step to the side, with his back pressed against the wall, before he could see clearly that the person coming was Xiao Qian.

"Phew, you scared me to death." Ye Xing knew that he was not very courageous, but he was often scared after getting this job. "Why are you going to the game room instead of staying at the front desk?"

In other words, he would only speak like this if he is familiar with the other person.

Xiao Qian shook the exquisite watch on his hand at him: "It's game time now, I'm going to slack off legally."

She smiled again after she finished speaking: "Why, the real-life NPC who never plays games made an exception today?"

Ye Xing also knew that the company stipulated that students could have anywhere from half an hour to two hours of gaming time every day, which was a kind of reward system.

This led to Youmeng sometimes rewarding its employees with homemade coupons such as "playing games for an hour", which was very similar to what parents of elementary school students do.

Naturally, he was not interested in this kind of reward. Every time when everyone went to the game room in groups of three or four, he was mostly still playing the real game.

Other colleagues’ jobs may be to develop or produce games, but he actually works on games and has no interest or hobby in that area, so he has never enjoyed the so-called “game time”.

"I wanted to try it, but it didn't work out." Ye Xuan scratched his head and said nonchalantly, "I got a call about a promotion. Can I not answer it?"

Xiao Qian's eyes widened: "Promotion? Congratulations!"

Her congratulations were very sincere, and she half-jokingly suggested that the other party should treat her to a meal.

"Thank you, thank you." Ye Xuan pretended to be modest, but in fact he was smiling so hard that his teeth were showing. "Eat... Order whatever you want in the cafeteria. It's my treat!"

Although it was just the cafeteria, Xiao Qian still applauded. After all, it was a happy event and they needed to create some atmosphere.

"Hey, what are you clapping for?" The interviewer asked before he even showed up. "Okay, are you trying to trick the girl?"

Ye Xuan immediately denied it: "No way, don't talk nonsense. Um, don't you know that I got a promotion?"

An expression that said, "You didn't even know about this huge happy event. You are so uninformed."

The interviewer apparently didn't know that someone who had been having dessert with him not long ago had been promoted, and he didn't say anything for a moment.

"Oh, promotion? Congratulations." The interviewer secretly calculated which one of his and the other party's positions had a higher position - his was still higher, so there was no big problem, as he was still the other party's leader.

Even if he is not your direct superior, you can still act like a leader.

He "complained" again: "Xiao Lin, why didn't you notify me? That's so mean. We should celebrate properly."

"It wasn't Sister Lin who notified me," Ye Xuan recalled the voice, which was indeed unfamiliar, "It was a man's voice I had never heard of, and the source was an insider in the company."

Xiao Qian shook his head: "I also use the internal line at the front desk, but I don't know who you are talking about."

As a competent front desk staff, she remembers the voices of all the people in the company, including the cleaning lady, not to mention their appearances.

Ye Xuan added a little description: "The voice is very low, the speech speed is slow, and it's a bit pretentious. Is there anyone who can match it?"

Xiao Qian opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but closed it again after hearing the third description.

She did have a candidate in mind, but she didn't dare to say it.

"Oh," the interviewer was one of the company's veterans after all, so he had no scruples. "It's probably the big boss. I didn't expect him to call you personally to inform you. It's rare. You must be lucky."

"Big boss..." Ye Xing searched his mind but couldn't find anyone who matched the name. However, he knew it must be a big shot as soon as he heard it.

"The boss is not in the company all year round." Xiao Qian looked at Ye Xuan with a hint of - sympathy?

The interviewer went on to say, "The fact that he called you today shows that he made this rare trip."

Is it that exaggerated?

Even though Ye Xuan didn't say it directly, his eyes still revealed what he was thinking.

The interviewer patted him on the shoulder and said, "Do you know why the big boss can stay away from the company for a long time and our company can still operate well?"

"Uh... because we are all self-aware and self-disciplined excellent employees?" Ye Xing replied tentatively.

"Naive, too naive." The interviewer's eyes also revealed a bit of pity, "The big boss has many spies in the company. You haven't reached my level yet, so you still have to be on guard."

No one dared to sue the interviewer, but that didn't mean Ye Xuan, who was standing next to him, would be immune.

This is why Xiao Qian didn't dare to say anything.

"So - powerful?" Ye Xing changed his words under the other party's gaze and wiped away a non-existent cold sweat.

The interviewer said meaningfully: "But since the big boss is willing to promote you, he must be optimistic about you. Don't worry too much."

Just when Ye Xing was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he heard the other party say slowly, "As long as you don't offend anyone in the company, it's fine."

But workplace bullying is just like school bullying. It doesn’t necessarily start with the victim.

Even if he does not offend anyone objectively, he cannot completely prevent everyone from feeling offended by him subjectively.

The human psychology is too complicated.

How can a small real-life NPC like him avoid it?

The interviewer understands that some young people are stubborn. When they first enter the workplace, there are some things that they cannot accept all at once and cannot be explained. So they just let them figure it out on their own.

He didn't say much and invited Xiao Qian to go into the game room.

Ye Xuan did not forget that he had to go to the Human Resources Department and hurried there. After being given some advice by the interviewer, he also knew that some things should be done as soon as possible and not delayed.

This delay will affect other people's work, and it will be difficult to explain things clearly then.

The promotion went smoothly and was completed in almost no time.

Ye Xuan looked at his new work badge happily, feeling very happy.

Although he is the only real-life NPC in Youmeng at the moment, and this newly promoted position is just an honorary title, he still thinks this work badge is so pleasing to the eye.

After returning to the office, it was not long before the end of get off work, so he planned to pack up his things.

The third NPC has a long plot and many characters. He has taken stacks of notes, and now they are all piled together. They look like the final exam review materials in school. It makes me dizzy just looking at them.

In fact, he has a pretty good ability to organize things. He quickly sorted out most of the relevant materials into categories and selected some content that will be useful in the future.

When it was almost time to get off work, Sister Lin came over to remind him whether he had written his work report.

As for the report, it is something that must be written, but it is not urgent and it won’t be a problem to delay it for a day or two.

So he turned a blind eye and went to the cafeteria to grab some food just before getting off work.

"Real NPC, have you finished your work?" A colleague who was not very familiar with him greeted him, "Thank you for your hard work."

"Yeah," Ye Xuan responded, walking over with the tray in hand. "Large-scale plot dungeons are not easy, and you guys have worked hard."

Although I don't know who the other party is specifically, You Meng has been busy with this copy recently, so there is nothing wrong with saying this.

"Xiao Qian, look, are these the dishes?" Ye Xuan put down the full tray. This was the fourth dish on the table that was particularly sumptuous.

The other party took a look and found that they were indeed the dishes she wanted to order: "Yes, that's right. Thank you, Yexuan. It's obviously your treat, so why bother to bring the dishes."

Ye Xuan picked up a piece of black pepper beef tenderloin with chopsticks and said, "The cafeteria is not very humane in this regard. Whoever takes the plate has to pay. I don't know why there is such a weird rule. When I was in school, my classmates often used each other's meal cards."

It is true that the company covers food expenses, but it is within a limited amount. If you exceed the limit, you have to pay for it yourself.

For a meal like today, the meal allowance for four people combined is not enough.

Yes, four people.

The interviewer and Sister Lin, two leaders, also came to join their subordinates' "promotion banquet", but they didn't order any expensive dishes, which saved their face and helped save money.

“Alas, it’s a pity that drinking is not allowed in the company,” the interviewer sighed. He believed that only celebrations with alcohol could be called celebrations. Otherwise, why would there be a term like “celebration wine”?

The other three did not respond and continued to stick to the principle of not talking while eating.

"How about," he said, really craving for wine, "after finishing the canteen, we can go outside for another drink?"

The three of them shook their heads in unison and refused.

Alcohol is not necessary to create an atmosphere.

And the right person is.
