If it's about knowledge and action, that seems normal too.
S City is a big city, and there are pilot projects here, with many staff members assigned to assist in the pilot work.
Deng Yuan was one of the lucky ones who was sent to Zhixing Games for an investigation.
This was his first time being sent abroad, so it was understandable that he was a little nervous.
Deng Yuan arrived relatively early. His job starts at 8:30 in the morning, and with travel time, he arrived at the entrance of Zhixing Games a little after 8:30.
Surprisingly, there was no one inside yet, which is not surprising.
Since I arrived a little early, I might as well slack off.
I wonder what the next day's work will be like. It's good to be able to touch it a little longer.
It turned out that the company should have started work at 9:00, but people started arriving one after another from 8:40 to 8:50, and they greeted him when they saw him.
"You're here for an inspection, right? Please come in, please come in. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."
"No, no, no, no, no, I just arrived early, it's okay." The other person's enthusiasm made Deng Yuan feel a little overwhelmed for a moment, but then he immediately realized that this might be the other person trying to be nice to him and tell him not to write anything he shouldn't have.
Upon realizing this, Deng Yuan immediately corrected his attitude.
That won't do; he has to be responsible to all the workers.
"You don't need to worry about me too much. Just do your own thing. I'll just look around and wander around."
Deng Yuan didn't expect that his tactful refusal would result in—no one paying any attention to him.
Is it really that practical?
Wouldn't it be more in line with the traditional Chinese style to offer three refusals and three concessions?
Deng Yuan was stunned for a moment, but adapted well.
We need not elaborate on the shock brought by the usual Zhixing Games office environment; it is indeed commonplace.
Everyone who comes here is amazed.
They expressed their approval of President Jiang's aesthetic sense.
He sat at an empty workstation, watching everyone's daily work routine.
I don't know why the employees at this company all arrive a little before the official start time. Is it because the boss requires it, or...?
When the employees of Zhixing Games arrived, they chatted casually or ate breakfast. They didn't seem to be there for work at all; they looked more like they were on a picnic.
Please, you're here to work. Shouldn't people who work have a professional demeanor?
Although Deng Yuan was internally complaining, he was also swept up in the cheerful atmosphere.
This company seems pretty good, otherwise how could the employees have such a high morale?
His guess had barely settled when he turned around—good heavens, it was nine o'clock! Everyone immediately stopped eating their breakfast and from discussing anything else.
It felt like someone had suddenly flipped some strange little switch, and everyone started working at high intensity.
That feeling of going all out...
Just like playing a video game.
Deng Yuan was puzzled and confused. How could he be so passionate? How much money would the boss have to pay to achieve such an effect?
When did monetary incentive buffs become available?
It felt like it directly impacted everyone in the company.
Then he changed his perspective and went closer to see what they were actually doing.
Good grief, they're actually playing video games?!
Deng Yuan looked at it again and again before he could confirm that these people were not designing a game, but playing it, and playing it with their whole hearts.
—Speaking of this, Yu Yue, the head of the game department, also felt quite helpless…
Why is it that every time visitors come to Zhixing Games, it happens to be the time when everyone is doing preliminary research and preparation?
Isn't it normal for game companies to conduct preliminary research by playing games?
Right now, everyone really doesn't have much to do.
Both Out-of-Body Simulator and The Road to Corporate Life have been released. Now, apart from the daily maintenance of the online version of The Road to Corporate Life, there is absolutely no serious work to do on the daily updates of the offline version of The Road to Corporate Life.
It's called going to work, but it's really just going to a big internet cafe to play games.
Deng Yuan's inner thought was, "Hmm, you guys really go to great lengths. Are you mainly trying to push yourselves to a higher level?"
If everyone in the company is playing games, it feels like the boss is behind it. Is this a deliberate act of faking it?
Then this is a very serious matter.
Deng Yuan found Yu Yue and began to ask in detail: "Isn't this how you usually work at your company? Why is everyone playing games today?"
"Even though I'm not in the industry, I know for sure that bosses don't pay their employees to play games."
Yu Yue said innocently and helplessly, "Have you been paying attention to the games our company has launched recently? We've been developing these two games, and now both games are finished and launched. There's no work to do."
"Right now, everyone's main task is to conduct preliminary research and preparation for the following two new projects."
"Research preparation, what kind of research?"
"Play more games to accumulate inspiration," Yu Yue said matter-of-factly. "We're a game company, isn't this normal?"
Deng Yuan was momentarily speechless, unable to articulate his thoughts. According to Zhixing Games' project plan, this approach seemed perfectly reasonable.
Around 11 a.m., another group of people suddenly arrived outside. They looked very much like students, probably interns from some university.
They came in, all very excited and lively.
"Who are these people?" Deng Yuan, who had also been invited to play the game, finally regained some clarity in his eyes, which had been corrupted by the game, and turned to ask Yu Yue.
"Oh, these are students majoring in Chinese Language and Literature. I heard they are juniors from President Jiang's school. Their teachers said that it's not easy to find a job in this major, so they hoped that President Jiang could give them an internship opportunity, and that's how they got here."
"It just so happens that our new project requires a large number of professionals specializing in Chinese language and literature."
Having learned some inside information about the development of Zhixing Games' new project, Deng Yuan nodded.
"Speaking of which, since these interns arrived, the company has become quite crowded. I reckon we'll have to rent a new floor soon."
Deng Yuan silently looked at the entire 14th floor, which was still mostly empty for him and could be turned around to be used as an office area.
No, buddy, you call this squeezing?
Yu Yue seemed to be able to guess what the person next to him was thinking, and he added, "Ah, because we only arranged for twenty or thirty people per floor before."
Deng Yuan's throat went dry, and he managed to squeeze out, "Your company is truly, truly, truly a large and powerful enterprise."
"By the way, stop playing games and come order some food. What would you like for lunch?"
When asked about the eternal human dilemma of what to eat for lunch, Deng Yuan silently opened the food delivery app on his phone, ready to order something random to fill his stomach.
Then Yu Yue stopped him: "I'm not asking you to order takeout. Since you're here to inspect our company, you should definitely inspect every aspect of it."
"Here, these are our lunch options."
"You order here, and a delivery guy will bring it over in a bit."
"Your company provides meals?" Deng Yuan asked before realizing what was going on. It wasn't that providing meals was anything unusual these days...
Seriously, the dishes in this picture look so delicious, and they all look very healthy.
"By the way, if you need, you can order dinner in advance to have on hand. The delivery guy will bring it over along with your lunch. Dinner will be packed in an insulated container, so you can bring the container with you when you come over the next day."
"However, you'll have to pay for your own dinner. After all, the company isn't a charity, but of course, the prices will still be very reasonable."
Come on, now I understand why your company was so eager to sign up.
What do you mean by "after all, the company isn't a charity"? Your company is doing charity work, okay?
After lunch, I took a nap in the company office where there are beds. I woke up around 2 p.m.
Deng Yuan witnessed once again that absurd scene where someone was relaxed and carefree before 2 a.m., but then became incredibly energetic and full of enthusiasm between 1 and 2 a.m.
"By the way, there's something I wanted to tell everyone. Our company is planning a team building trip next week. If anyone wants to go somewhere, we can discuss it in advance and come up with a rough plan."
"It might be possible to visit two places, for six days. You can decide for yourselves, and I will report the most popular option to Assistant Song in the end."
Yu Yue announced loudly, and at the same time, the forms and specific notices were also sent to the company group.
"Are you guys going on a team-building trip?"
"Yes, after all, I've put my whole heart and soul into it. I've made two games and updated one version. Work has been so intense lately, it's normal to relax a bit."
Are there really companies that organize team-building activities entirely based on employee wishes?
"That's why you see us working so hard today. It's because we need to finish up most of next week's work ahead of schedule so we can have a stress-free team building activity."
You call this work stress?
I don’t know why—I really don’t know why—but Deng Yuan just felt that all the employees in this company probably didn’t have the same thought process as him; their thought process was different from that of normal people.
Even though I was internally complaining like that, I don't know why I felt so sad. What exactly was it that made me sad? Was it tears? Were tears about to fall?
As is customary, the count came down to inspect the company.
Well, Jiang Chuan doesn't like looking at his employees; he really enjoys looking at the humans he has enslaved.
These people were different from Jiang Chuan; they were truly unarmed ordinary people, and the count's slight sense of superiority rose up.
Everyone had an inexplicable respect for the Earl, as if seeing a coal briquette was like seeing General Jiang.
Deng Yuan also noticed this special treatment. He recalled hearing from other colleagues that during their company visits, the boss personally received each of them.
It was different at Zhixing Games; they really put him among the ordinary employees for evaluation.
The boss was elusive, which piqued his curiosity.
While curiously observing the large group gathered around the cat, Deng Yuan jokingly asked, "Is your boss a cat?"
