Chapter 15 Who Wouldn't Return Home When They're Rich and Powerful?
Gong Ruling always kept Lu Ming's request secret.
But there was a lot of confusion in his words, and he didn't reveal much of the information that Lu Ming really wanted to hear.
Until noon,
When several people were having dinner in the cafeteria,
Lin Xiaoxiao finally found an opportunity to meet her classmates who were doing internships here.
Following Lu Ming's instructions, he finally got some inside information that he wanted to know.
In the afternoon, when Gong Ruling was planning to take a few people for a stroll again,
Lu Ming spoke decisively.
"Ms. Gong, I heard you had a very popular and very profitable project in the past. What was it called? It was called 'The Legend of Qixia'. Why don't you tell us about it?"
Hearing Lu Ming's question, Gong Ruling squinted her eyes and looked at Lu Ming briefly.
After all, "The Legend of Heroes" was so popular before,
It’s not surprising that these people have heard of it. Besides, the game is about to fail now, so it’s not a confidential project.
Thinking of this, Gong Ruling said casually,
"'Qixia Zhuan' is an old project. You can find it online now. The game is no longer popular. The criticism is obvious. There is nothing much to say!"
But Lu Ming did not move. He stood there and carefully recalled the information about the game he had found at noon.
It’s also a fairy tale type!
And he has a background of great success!
This is definitely the best thing to learn from!
Gong Ruling cleared her throat and forced the topic back to her. After all, the project was about to fail.
What would it look like if I took people there again?
"Mr. Lu, 'Legend of the Heroes' is old news and not worth mentioning. Let's take a look at the new project. Players really like it, and the data is better..."
Lu Ming nodded superficially, but his attention never returned.
He followed Gong Ruling, already making plans in his mind.
"The Legend of Heroes" is a treasure!
It doesn’t matter if Tengqu doesn’t teach me. I can dig it myself and I’ll always find something.
The experience of failure is the path to success I want!
Lu Ming winked at Zhou Bowen face to face and whispered:
"Bo Wen, ask more questions later and see if you can get some inside information about "The Legend of the Heroes"."
Zhou Bowen was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
Gong Ruling and Lu Ming continued to shuttle between the exhibition hall and office area of Tengqu headquarters.
"Bowen, Xiaoxiao, don't just listen, use your brains."
Taking advantage of Gong Ruling's moment of turning around, Lu Ming whispered to Zhou Bowen and Lin Xiaoxiao,
Zhou Bowen nodded, held the pen in his hand, and whispered,
"Mr. Lu, I tried asking a few questions, but Ms. Gong was hesitant. I guess she's afraid we're trying to get inside information. But I also checked online, and it seems this project is going to fail. The studio may have disbanded."
He paused and added,
"Why don't we just go find the person in charge of 'The Legend of Heroes'?"
Lin Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up and she quickly opened the notebook.
"Yes! My classmate Wang Fang said that we might not be able to contact the project leader of 'Qixia Zhuan', but he knows there's a development team leader named Zhao Qiliang. Mr. Lu, why don't we contact him?"
After she finished speaking, she took out her cell phone from her bag and began to search.
When Lu Ming heard that it was the development team leader, he immediately became interested.
"Okay, that's him! Xiaoxiao, hurry up and find his contact information. Bowen, keep an eye on Miss Gong and don't let her see what we're up to."
Lu Ming lowered his voice, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he had already started to think about poaching people:
"Zhao Qiliang, the development team leader, must know the structure of 'Legend of the Heroes'. Besides, his project is almost dead, so poaching him would definitely be a lot easier!"
Lin Xiaoxiao nodded, her fingers swiping quickly on the phone.
I quickly found Zhao Qiliang's personal photo.
"Boss, although this guy is the development team leader, it seems he was only promoted in the past two years. The previous team leader of "Legend of the Heroes" was promoted and left a long time ago."
"It's okay. If he really is the creator of the game, we probably won't be able to dig him out!"
Lin Xiaoxiao nodded, and finally found the other party’s social account through the internal forum of her old classmates!
Then, Lin Xiaoxiao directly pushed it to Lu Ming.
"Boss, his social media account is here. It seems to be quite active. How can we contact him?"
Lin Xiaoxiao's tone was a little excited, and she obviously felt that she had made a great contribution.
Lu Ming took the phone and glanced at Zhao Qiliang's profile picture. It was a cartoon profile picture, nothing special.
Then, he clicked on the profile and saw a message that read:
Graduated from the Computer Science Department of Huazhong University of Science and Technology
Lu Ming's eyes lit up and he had an idea.
"Xiaoxiao, good job! I'll teach you how to control the opponent now!"
After saying that, Lu Ming took out his mobile phone and opened the social software.
I quickly changed the university I graduated from in my personal profile to "Department of Computer Science, Huazhong University of Science and Technology".
I just randomly filled in the year which was a few years younger than Zhao Qiliang.
Lu Ming's mouth corners slightly raised, thinking secretly,
"This alumni trick always works. Build relationships first, and you'll get the call later!"
After modifying the information, he immediately clicked "Private Message" and sent a message that he had carefully edited:
"Hello, I am a sophomore in the Computer Science Department of Huazhong University of Science and Technology. The school is currently holding an online interview event and needs to interview outstanding graduates.
So, senior, I'd like to interview you about your work experience after graduation, and at the same time set an example for us juniors. Is this convenient for you?"
After sending this message, Lu Ming's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a smug smile.
The private message he just sent was well-chosen and realistic.
He also has a bit of student-like innocence, which perfectly fits the identity of a sophomore.
Which adult can stand this passage?
Who wouldn’t return to their hometown when they become rich and powerful? We are here to show you our respect!
Sure enough, within three minutes, the phone dinged. It was Zhao Qiliang who replied.
"From Huazhong University of Science and Technology? You're a sophomore, and you're interviewing me? Haha, I'm not exactly an outstanding university student."
Zhao Qiliang did not refuse and was obviously interested in the interview.
Lu Ming was delighted when he saw it.
He quickly replied,
"Senior, you're too modest! I heard you work at Tencent, so you must be very impressive. Could you please give us juniors some advice? It won't take up too much of your time!"
"It's not really a revelation. I was lucky to get into Tengqu. That was several years ago."
"What projects have you participated in?"
“…”
The two of them came back and forth,
Apparently, I'm quite familiar with it.
In addition, Lu Ming also processed a lot of useful information.
Zhao Qiliang also talked about his general position and the fact that he was responsible for the development of "Qixia Zhuan".
After all, I'm just talking to my junior, so there's no risk of leaking any secrets.
Besides, this is an interview, you have to say something impressive.
After chatting for a long time, Zhao Qiliang also talked about his recent situation.
"Hey, junior, let me tell you, working in a big company also has its own difficulties. You don't necessarily have to work in a big company after graduation to be successful.
Look at the game we were responsible for, "Legend of the Heroes," where I rose from an ordinary employee to development team leader. Now that the game isn't doing well, I have to leave anyway."
After listening to Zhao Qiliang's heartfelt words, Lu Ming's eyes lit up like a lamp.
"Senior, your experience is so inspiring! From an ordinary programmer to a development team leader, and even having a project with a turnover of over 100 million yuan, who would dare to say no?
I think you are amazing, and the younger students will definitely be very inspired by hearing this!"
"And, Senior, what you said makes so much sense! Big companies look glamorous, but the pressure is too great. Even someone as talented as you still depends on the success or failure of the project in the end, right?
I think it's better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix. Your experience will shine wherever you put it!"
Zhao Qiliang paused for a moment and then sent a voice message.
"Haha, you're quite accurate, junior. But you're also right. After working in a big company for a long time, sometimes you really feel suffocated."
"When 'The Legend of Heroes' was a hit, I worked overtime every day writing code and felt I could do something great. But now it's a failure and the management has nothing to say."
There was a hint of helplessness in Zhao Qiliang's tone, and he was obviously quite dissatisfied with Tencent's current situation.
When Lu Ming heard this, he clapped his hands in joy. Isn't this a poaching opportunity that fell from the sky?
"Senior, you see, this is the problem with big companies! There are so many people and so many eyes. The credit may not go to you, but the blame will always be yours."
"I think that for a talented person like you, a small company is also a big stage, with many opportunities and room to develop. It's no worse than Tencent!"
Zhao Qiliang replied with a voice message, his voice a little self-deprecating:
"Small company? I've never really paid attention to them. Tencent is a big company with abundant resources and a great reputation. What can a small company do? Without resources and technology, even the salary can't compare."
“Senior, you are right, it would be great if the small company paid enough!
You're now the development lead at "Qixia Chuan" and your experience and skills are there. If you go to a small company, you can easily lead a team and make a game, wouldn't that be like playing a game? "
Lu Ming said this sincerely, and every word hit Zhao Qiliang's pain points.
In any case, first sow the young seeds to the other party,
The two chatted with each other for a while.
Lu Ming not only got the other party's phone number, but also found out what clothes the other party was wearing.
At the end, Lu Ming transferred 50 yuan to the other party.
"By the way, senior, I sent you a small red envelope. Buy you some milk tea. We have to continue our friendship as alumni!"
Zhao Qiliang confiscated the red envelope, was stunned for a moment, and then replied with a voice message:
"Haha, junior, that's enough! I'll forget about the milk tea, I'll treat you to a meal when you come to Pengcheng! You have quite a rich interview schedule, so please send it to me when you're done!"
There was a touch of emotion and warmth in Zhao Qiliang's tone.
End of chat,
Lu Ming put down his phone and made a victory gesture to Lin Xiaoxiao.
"We got it. He'll get off work at 7 o'clock. We'll go straight to him. He's wearing a red plaid shirt, so be careful."
Lin Xiaoxiao widened her eyes.
Looking at Lu Ming's set of procedures with a strange look,
She was stunned by the boss's move.
She just thought to herself, if there was a junior like this who fooled her like this, Lin Xiaoxiao felt that she would definitely not be able to resist,
Why does this feel like a scam? This scheme is so sophisticated! It's impossible to guard against it!
Although I didn't cheat the other person of their money, why does it always feel a bit immoral?
