A turn-based online game that hadn’t been updated for half a year, had a development budget seven times that of its competitors, yet only made a tenth of their revenue—a total failure. A game t...
Chapter 15 Are those who don't complain still workers?
The time came to the beginning of June.
"How is it?"
Lin Yao stood behind Zhong Xiu and asked about the outsourcing.
According to the project progress list, the outsourcing party should have completed the friend system and the subdivided channel system.
After all, this is a new function that improves the original game body. There was a foundation before, so it is not difficult.
"Very good, I thought the outsourced code would have no logic, no standards, and full of bugs, but I didn't expect it to be unexpectedly reliable."
Zhong Xiu quickly tapped the keyboard with ten fingers, pulled out the code, and then opened the client of the R&D server to show it to Lin Yao and Mu Wanqing.
At this time, the art materials were not in place, and the icon symbolizing friends could only be replaced by the stick figure drawn by Lin Yao. Although the drawing was also good, it was incompatible with the exquisite 2D style of the game.
But Lin Yao didn't care.
This was just to see the function, not the official version.
"I have updated the server, and now I can try to send messages, such as this..."
Zhong Xiu opened the only friend in the friend list and sent an emoticon to the other party.
Zhu Nianqiao next to him immediately said, "This expression is so cute..."
Baozi's expression is still Lin Yao's sketch, and the material can be replaced later.
"What about the world channel, is it ready?"
Lin Yao supported Mu Wanqing's shoulders, bent down slightly, and looked at the lower left corner of the game terminal while keeping a distance.
"It's done."
Zhong Xiu smelled the faint fragrance coming from behind, and his expression was shocked.
Humph.
Woman.
Do you think I will work hard like this?
Naive!
I'm a straight man!
"Please show me." Lin Yao was a little worried.
Zhong Xiu sent a team invitation to Zhu Nianqiao, and then silently demonstrated the current, team, world and other channels.
"It's quite reliable."
Lin Yao straightened up again, smiling like a flower, and said: "But you'd better explain the world announcement function in detail to the outsourcing company, especially the trigger conditions, high-difficulty PVE, obtaining high-level items... Do you understand the trigger conditions I mentioned?"
"No problem."
Zhong Xiu replied loudly subconsciously.
After answering.
He reacted.
Humph.
Woman.
I got fooled again...
On the other side.
Lin Yao looked at the backs of Zhong Xiu and Zhu Nianqiao and nodded with satisfaction. Although they were interns, they were quite reliable.
It was this Zhong Xiu.
He always seemed to have a lot of inner drama and always got depressed for no reason...
But this was his freedom.
As long as he worked hard, it would be fine.
"Let's go, Miss Mu."
Lin Yao looked back at Mu Wanqing.
Mu Wanqing nodded and took her to the conference room compartment in the corner.
The outsourcing party was quite reliable.
Everything was on track.
But there were not only Lin Yao and a few people in the second development department. There were eight people left. Among them, the person in charge of docking in the programming group had gone to help Zhong Xiu, and for the rest of the people.
Lin Yao felt it necessary to explain the current situation of the game to them.
After all, it would be good to have one more person to help.
So Mu Wanqing organized a meeting today.
She planned to explain the current situation of the game to others.
In the conference room.
After a while.
Everyone was there.
In addition to the three programmers outside, there are seven people here.
"Everyone."
Mu Wanqing stood at the head of the table, clapped her hands, attracted everyone's attention, and said softly: "You should have heard what I am going to do."
After that,
she looked in the direction of the administrative clerk.
The middle-aged administrative clerk smiled embarrassedly.
This clerk broke almost all the news.
Mu Wanqing didn't mean to blame her, and quickly looked away, and continued:
"Yes, I plan to update our "Fantasy OL" that is regarded as a laughing stock both inside and outside... Although I want to say it better, I really can't do it. To put it bluntly, I just want to struggle to the death. I don't want to leave in disgrace."
Mu Wanqing supported the table with both hands, leaned forward slightly, pursed her lips, and continued: "In fact, you and I are very clear, there is nothing to hide, we are the abandoned people, after the internal control investigation is completed, we will probably all leave. I have seen you slacking off during this period of time, and I am actually the same. Going to work is just looking for a new job."
Mu Wanqing looked around and said: "But are you really willing? Obviously, the failure of the project has little to do with you, and it is obviously Chen Nuo who should leave the most, but in the end we are asked to take the responsibility. Do you think this is reasonable!?"
Everyone was slightly startled, and subconsciously avoided Mu Wanqing's expression that seemed to be interrogating.
"I think it's unreasonable anyway."
Mu Wanqing straightened up again and glanced at Lin Yao who was leaning over the side and seemed to be looking at the legs of the stool. She felt a little amused in her heart, but she remained calm on the surface: "I told Chen Nuo a few days ago that the reason why "Fantasy OL" failed was because he was incompetent. Those who abandoned us with him were incompetent! I want to prove this! I want to slap Chen Nuo hard in the face!"
"This is what I want to do! He also told me that I really think I am a big shot and am very naive."
"I admit that I am indeed very naive, but things have come to this point. What is there to be afraid of? In the end, the game still failed. It's nothing more than leaving. I have to leave anyway, so I will struggle a little bit. If I succeed, it will be the loudest slap in the face."
"Don't you want to slap Chen Nuo? Without him, we can make the game well! Wouldn't it make people feel happy to slap him?"
"Since we are all leaving anyway, and there is no worries anyway, why not give it a try?"
Mu Wanqing's voice was not loud.
But it was very inflammatory...
Half of the people present showed thoughtful expressions.
Of course.
The other three smiled and didn't seem to care.
But this is normal.
It's still a bit difficult to impress office workers with just words.
Lin Yao has a lot of say on this.
"Try it. I'll trouble you all from now on. Please work hard in the last month. I don't ask you to work hard. You just need to do your job well, especially... Ye Lan, there will be a large number of art materials to be handed over, and you will be responsible for the connection."
"Ah? I'm very busy..."
Ye Lan belongs to the art group. She is a woman in her twenties. She has short, neat hair, fair skin, and good facial features, but her lips are a little thin. She looks like someone who is not easy to talk to.
When she was called, she seemed a little unhappy and frowned subconsciously.
"Are you sure?" Mu Wanqing looked at her straight.
Facing Mu Wanqing's oppressive gaze, Ye Lan was silent for a moment, opened and closed her mouth, but finally didn't say anything, just nodded a little depressed.
"You will be responsible for reporting to Lin Yao in the future. You are the one next to me. You should work hard for the last month. No matter what the final result is, there is only one month left. Come on."
Mu Wanqing retracted her extremely oppressive gaze and smiled softly at her: "If the game succeeds, we will be heroes and we will definitely get rewards. Even if Chen Nuo comes back, it will not change this."
"Everyone, too. Sorry for the trouble. Please stay with me for the last month."
Mu Wanqing looked at everyone.
The testers and administrative clerks in the corner nodded.
Then the meeting was adjourned.
Seeing that Mu Wanqing was not in a hurry to leave, Lin Yao also sat there and watched others leave.
It was actually her suggestion to hold this meeting.
It's not that she really wants everyone to be of one mind.
This is not reliable.
She just doesn't want anyone to hold her back.
Of course, it would be better if more people could help.
Now it seems that the effect is good...
"Stupid, who do you think you are? You can only draw big cakes. You are leaving and outsourcing. How can I do it alone... And you let me plan with that idiot, you are sick!"
Lin Yao just had this thought.
A complaint came from outside.
Because he was sitting near the glass wall, he could hear it vaguely.
It seemed to be the voice of Ye Lan.
Okay.
Lin Yao took back what she had just said.
"What's wrong with you?"
Mu Wanqing was sitting in the first seat, and seeing Lin Yao's cute look of eavesdropping, she couldn't help laughing.
Lin Yao turned around and frowned slightly: "I just seemed to hear Ye Lan complaining... I feel troubled."
"Normal."
Mu Wanqing's expression was calm, and she said calmly: "After all, we are all working for others. Who doesn't complain? I complain too. As long as the work is done well, it's fine."
"...That's right."
Lin Yao thought about it and nodded.
She also complained when she was working.
Who doesn't complain when working ? Are those
who don't complain still workers?
Despicable...
"Go and close the door."
Mu Wanqing glanced at the exit of the meeting room and suddenly said to Lin Yao.
Lin Yao was a little confused, but still got up to close the door.
"Huh... I'm so tired."
Seeing the door closed and only two people left in the office, Mu Wanqing immediately kicked off her high heels, revealing her slender feet wrapped in black silk stockings, and complained in a low voice: "It's really tiring to wear high heels every day..."
Lin Yao sat down again, looking at her attractive curves and perfect and slender legs in black silk stockings, and made a suggestion: "How about wearing flat shoes?"
She was respectful and did not thank high heels anyway. It
was also difficult to understand why Mu Wanqing had to wear them even though she was in pain.
"Of course you can, but if I don't wear high heels, my image as an elite woman will collapse, and it will be difficult to manage people in the future. I also want to wear them."
Mu Wanqing kicked the high heels on the ground.
The two have worked together for a while, and I don't know if they are born to be in sync, but their relationship can be said to have made great progress.
Anyway, Mu Wanqing doesn't mind taking off her disguise in front of Lin Yao now.
"Are you tired?"
Lin Yao shook her head, and her high ponytail swung gently: "Even if you don't wear high heels, you look like an elite woman."
"Really?"
"Is that so..."
"You're not sure yourself."
Mu Wanqing smiled gently, stretched out her hand and rubbed her black silk calf. It was really tiring to stand for a long time in high heels.
Lin Yao looked at her. She
was indeed beautiful.
The dignified and elegant suit skirt, paired with the slender jade legs wrapped in silky black silk, the whole person exudes a royal aura and a charm of being mature but not yet mature.
The model of a royal sister belongs to her.
"What's wrong? Why are you staring at my thighs without moving?"
Mu Wanqing noticed Lin Yao's gaze, raised her head, and asked with a smile: "Do you want to touch it?"
"Is this... okay?"
Lin Yao looked shy as if she wanted to do so, but was embarrassed.
"Haven't you worn it before?"
Mu Wanqing didn't answer Lin Yao, but moved directly to her.
Then, she looked at Lin Yao's round thighs wrapped in fitted jeans, pressed together, and sighed: "Your legs are very beautiful, and it feels quite suitable."
"Not suitable." Lin Yao likes the big sister's black silk thighs, so she wears it herself.
"You, I doubt you... Wait, how can you touch me like that?"
Mu Wanqing shook her head helplessly, then suddenly shuddered and glared at Lin Yao who was kneading her thigh.
"You agreed."
Lin Yao slightly raised her proud chest, with a righteous look on her face.
"I agreed, but there are conditions."
Mu Wanqing was amused and suddenly stood up: "Come on, try wearing my high heels, jeans and high heels, I really want to see."
"No way!"
Lin Yao turned around and wanted to run away.
Mu Wanqing immediately stood up to catch her.
Soon.
The silver bell-like laughter of the two rang out in the conference room.
