The third "mother" in my life
Fang Qixiang is one of the new employees who joined Zhixing Games. There were about 20 other people who joined at the same time.
He was one of the older ones among them, a seasoned veteran in the workplace.
The purpose of coming to Zhixing Games is very clear: to gain prestige.
The popularity of "The Way of the Corporate Slave" is known throughout the internet. If someone has worked at such a company, they will have no trouble changing jobs in the future.
However, Fang Qixiang was also clever and did not reveal his intentions. When Yu Yue asked why he chose to come to Zhixing Games, he replied that he felt very empathetic to "The Road of the Corporate Slave" and therefore resigned without hesitation to work at Zhixing Games.
His answer naturally increased the lead planner's favorability, especially since the lead planner seemed very proud of his work, and coupled with his good resume, Fang Qixiang was successfully hired.
Actually, as soon as I walked in, I felt that the environment of the game studio was a bit strange. It wasn't that it was a low-pressure atmosphere or a place full of backstabbing or anything like that.
Fang Qixiang had a strange feeling that... everyone sitting here had a peculiar enthusiasm for their work, and it really seemed like... they had been brainwashed by a pyramid scheme.
Because there is no other explanation.
If it wasn't brainwashed by a pyramid scheme, then what was it?
In all his years in the workplace, he had never seen anyone so passionate about their work…
This is the first time I've seen someone so passionate about their work. It's understandable if they're just starting out in the workforce, but some of them have been working for three or four years.
How can you still be so enthusiastic?
Fang Qixiang doesn't usually go online much. His biggest hobby is fishing, reading fishing posts, and he devotes himself entirely to fishing.
He's the legendary fishing guy.
He had only vaguely heard of the observational variety show "The Survival Diary of Contemporary Working People" which was widely discussed online, so even when he came to Zhixing Games, he did not recognize the company.
Because he hadn't actually watched the show.
In addition... the iconic scene of Zhi Xing Games in the show was the 16th floor, but he came to the 14th floor for the interview, so there were some differences between the two.
However, real viewers can recognize it once they enter the 14th floor and take a closer look.
This led to other new employees instantly developing a deep love for the company once they recognized where they were.
Fang Qixiang couldn't figure it out no matter how much he thought about it.
Are probation periods these days... becoming this complicated?
Being diligent at work is enough, right? Why do you have to be so mentally demanding...?
This accidental encounter, coupled with his somewhat unperturbed demeanor, set him apart from the other job seekers, and Yu Yue began to view Fang Qixiang with a different eye.
Fang Qixiang became a deputy, and his abilities were indeed sufficient.
After working at Zhixing Games for two days, Fang Qixiang's mind started to race.
Because he saw the salary standards of his senior colleagues.
Who wouldn't get excited in this situation?
In daily work, the most difficult thing to adapt to is probably "there's simply no way to finish the work, there's simply no way to finish the work!"
The fact that he was only given 6 hours of work a day made him a little unaccustomed to it, and he had to demand high efficiency from himself.
But if you're honest with yourself, the workload isn't actually that much; it's just enough for him to finish.
Moreover, you don't need to hide or sneak around while slacking off at this game studio. If you get tired of looking at the electronic screen, you can stand up and look out the window.
If you get tired from work and want to play games, there's a lounge nearby with the best gaming equipment, including VR, PC, and mobile games.
If you get hungry, there are plenty of snacks and drinks in the lounge.
Fang Qixiang, who initially wondered why others were working so vengefully, is now also working vengefully.
The lead planner even saw that he was working too hard and seriously, and advised him to play some games to practice his thinking for the new project.
Fang Qixiang: Zhimen.
I thank all the gods in the world, whether from the East or the West, for allowing him to work at this company.
I'm grateful that even though I only had the intention of gaining prestige, I was still able to prepare well for the interview.
He was grateful that he hadn't secretly shown off or flaunted his superiority just because Yu Yue was younger and less experienced than him.
"We're going for a medical check-up soon, let's quickly wrap up our work from this morning," Yu Yue said, standing up to greet everyone.
Zhixing Games has been talking about the physical examination for a while now, and we finally found some time to go.
It was done by both long-term and new employees.
The Zhixing Games venue is no longer as empty as it used to be; each floor is now almost full, accommodating about 50 people.
If they expand enrollment again in the future, they'll probably have to rent a new building.
The hospital we chose was a nearby top-tier hospital, because the car couldn't fit all 50 people, so we had to split into two groups to come to the hospital.
Song Zhiming followed behind, silently deciding to report to President Jiang later that they needed to change to a new bus.
From minibuses to mid-sized buses, and the future large buses.
Zhixing Games is developing really fast. Song Zhiming never thought that this startup company could run so steadily.
After all, among all the employees of Zhixing Games, she was the first and had the most contact with President Jiang, and she didn't have that much mystery about him.
To be honest, at first, President Jiang did seem a bit unreliable.
It's quite obvious that she has some social anxiety disorder, and it's a rather severe one.
This trait is practically impossible for a boss to have; in other words, a person with social anxiety really can't be a boss.
The boss is also a position with high social attributes.
Building extensive networks and attracting investment, while simultaneously painting a rosy picture of cyberspace to win hearts and minds—it's truly difficult for the average person.
Unexpectedly, not only did President Jiang secure his position, but he also made a fortune of 20 to 30 million yuan from a single game.
The future looks promising.
Song Zhiming came along today to collect everyone's medical examination results, and President Jiang seems to attach great importance to this.
The medical examination items weren't particularly Zhixing-style; they were all standard tests. Song Zhiming was also very considerate, giving employees the flexibility to add extra tests if they wanted.
The physical examination results were generally good. As office workers who sit in the office all day, it's normal to have some sub-health issues, such as lumbar muscle strain and cervical spondylosis.
"Tang Yue, your blood sugar is a bit high." Master Tang Yue glanced at her apprentice's medical examination report.
Tang Yue scratched her head and chuckled, "I guess I've been living too comfortably since I joined our company. I just want to have afternoon tea all the time."
"You should drink less sugary drinks."
Similar conversations are happening in different places.
Fang Qixiang is an example; his medical examination report barely passed.
He has all the sub-health issues mentioned earlier, such as cervical spondylosis and lumbar problems. His stomach is also not very good. It is inevitable that he eats a lot of oily and salty takeout food all year round. In addition, his three meals a day are not very regular. Sometimes he is so busy that he doesn't even eat. This is quite normal.
He himself didn't seem to feel anything; after all, everyone gets injured by electricians while working.
Yu Yue came over and took a look: "You, Lao Fang, you really need to take better care of your health."
"Office workers all have some minor health issues, it's okay." Fang Qixiang waved his hand, "As long as the physical exam doesn't find anything serious, it's fine."
Conditions like mouse hand and tenosynovitis are simply unavoidable.
Fang Qixiang was used to it.
Song Zhiming came over and collected the information from the medical examination forms, and then everyone went back to the company to continue working.
I'm quite busy with the development of new versions and DLCs, as well as information gathering for new projects.
Working 6 hours a day, and spending two hours on a medical check-up, there's really not much time left. So most people switch to a highly efficient work mode very quickly once they get back to the company.
This also includes many employees who joined at the same time as Fang Qixiang. They are younger than him and haven't yet become seasoned veterans in the workplace.
Fang Qixiang still looks... very strange, but it's understandable that he's acting impulsively. It just means he might need some time to adjust.
You need to adapt.
This skill seems essential for everyone in Zhixingren, and he can't fall behind. Having tasted the benefits of such a good company, who would want to go out and work that lousy job?
The usual practice is to take a lunch break, after which everyone continues working.
Song Zhiming refreshed the office area again.
However, she did not disturb everyone's work. Instead, she checked the list on her phone and asked someone to go out and get something.
If you pay close attention, you'll notice that those who are called out are basically people with minor health issues listed on their medical examination forms.
Fang Qixiang was quickly called to the side, a bag was stuffed into his hand, and he stood there dumbfounded listening to Song Zhiming speak: "These are some small treatment kits for treating symptoms, cough, I don't know if this is the right term, that's what President Jiang said, anyway there are some medicines in them, hot compresses and such."
"This is the first course of treatment. The company will continue to monitor your health. Health is the foundation of everything. While you are working hard, please also pay attention to your health, okay?"
The following sentence was addressed to everyone in the office area.
The veteran employees were still used to it and no longer showed any shock, emotion, or tearful expressions, while the new employees all had shocked cat heads.
"Employees are a company's greatest asset, so don't neglect your own health."
As Song Zhiming spoke these words, there was a window behind her, and the light shining through the window made her look like a goddess.
The goddess paused slightly, then continued.
"Height-adjustable desks and ergonomic chairs are specifically designed for those who sit for long periods. We hope that everyone will not be so focused on their work that they forget to relax their lumbar and cervical spine."
While the height-adjustable desk feature did exist before, few people actually used it.
That's good, now President Jiang has made it a mandatory requirement.
I work sitting for an hour, then stand for 30 minutes, and repeat this cycle.
In adult society, everyone else cares about how high you fly, but only your family cares about how tired you are from flying. This is the first time since entering the workforce that someone has cared about you like your own mother did – a sentiment shared by the new employees.
They didn't actually have much contact with General Manager Jiang; even the interviews were conducted by senior employees from their own department and Assistant Song.
The veteran employees at least had a general impression of President Jiang, but the new employees were left with only a vague label.
Previously, this label was: genius game producer.
The label is now called: Male Mom.
Just as Jiang Chuan, the male mother, was about to leave to inspect the experience store, Song Zhiming returned from delivering something downstairs, and the two went together.
The experience store is located on the second floor of a shopping mall not far from Chuangzhi Yunjing, and its area of 200 square meters is quite good.
The hard furnishings were completed before the right to use the experience store was transferred to Jiang Chuan, so the focus was on the soft furnishings until now, when Jiang Chuan finally had time to go and inspect it.
Although the car he was driving wasn't particularly eye-catching, Jiang Chuan still attracted a lot of attention as soon as he got out of the car.
He's used to wearing formal attire to work, and he's one of the few people whose suit obsession can be fully expressed. His work wardrobe is filled with dark, matching suits.
Song Zhiming followed half a step behind, and their outfits were not much different. This was not to say that Jiang Chuan had bad taste in clothes, but rather that he did not put much thought into this matter.
Although the clothes are similar, the accessories can be different for each person.
For example, today it's a metallic lapel chain that complements the suit perfectly. Yesterday it was light gray gemstone cufflinks, and the day before it was a silver lapel pin.
Song Zhiming silently recalled.
It's just that you get a bit more attention when you walk down the street.
Passersby didn't necessarily keep their eyes glued to the object; they just glanced at anything that looked interesting.
Even so, Jiang Chuan was still a little nervous.
Fortunately, he wore a mask and a pair of non-prescription glasses when he went out today.
These face coverings effectively relieved his tension.
This experience store is much smaller compared to those of other large game companies.
The interior design follows Zhixing's consistent style: simple, bright, and spacious. Unlike typical experience stores that resemble internet cafes, this interior design is more like a specialty store for equipment experiences.
Although small, the sparrow has all the vital organs.
Whether it's TV games, computer games, or mobile games, all the necessary equipment is included.
All that's missing is VR, and VR games are Zhixing's next project.
Jiang Chuan looked around and then prepared to leave.
"President Jiang, I've almost finished handling the matter you mentioned before, and we can officially begin implementation tomorrow." Assistant Song then smoothly transitioned to the next agenda item.
Jiang Chuan nodded to indicate that he understood, and after thinking for a moment, he added, "It's a good thing to try to cover both sides as much as possible, so that the nature of the matter doesn't change when it's implemented."
Song Zhiming nodded, recalling the demeanor of the employees he had observed in the office area that day… Well, in other companies, the bosses are never the most ruthless; there are only those who are more ruthless.
But things seem a little different with President Jiang.
If you stab him, the blood will be bright red.
Perhaps this is the kind of boss who should be called an entrepreneur; the others are merely streetlight ornaments with the name of entrepreneurs but the reality of capitalists.
She has worked at Zhixing Games longer than anyone else, and she still hasn't gotten used to the way President Jiang would occasionally lower employee benefit prices and then force them into the employees' hands.
"Also, the things you mentioned you wanted should be delivered tonight."
I've missed two updates...
I clearly remember that when I checked the nutrient solution count before, it was 1700, and suddenly it jumped to 2000+.
The author's backend doesn't show who submitted so many submissions at once, so thank you very much.
Just thinking about adding more chapters is making me feel a little suffocated.
Double updates over the weekend, love you all~
