Chapter 31 Our boss is a little weird

Charlene Lahiri's problem is neither big nor small.

Yang Huan thought about it seriously and organized some ideas in his mind.

"Football is now professional football. The emphasis is on professionalism. Players treat playing football as a profession. I even believe that some players do not love football at all. They simply treat playing football as a profession."

"Of course, I believe that there are many more players who hope to achieve their ideals and goals through playing football, to prove their self-worth, but I believe that, most fundamentally, this is a profession to support themselves and their families."

Charlene Lahiri is not surprised by this view, it is a consensus.

"Since it is a profession, it is no different from working in a company. The only difference is that when we work in a company, we sell our brain power and intelligence, while when we play for a team, we sell our skills and performance."

"Well, here's a question. Do you think big companies are better than small companies?"

"How many of the big companies we see now were small companies like sesame seeds a few years ago? But they have come to where they are today step by step, and have developed to where they are today, and have become big companies. What qualifications do they have to look down on those small companies? Maybe one day those small companies will develop a new product and completely wipe them out!"

"It's the same in football. What qualifications do the top league teams have to look down on teams from lower leagues? Will they definitely win? Not necessarily! We are a League One team, but if we meet a Premier League team, we are still confident that we can defeat them. They are lucky that they can't meet us. Just wait and see if you don't believe me!"

"What I want to say is that we are a team in the lower league, but we will not belittle ourselves because of this. On the contrary, we are very confident, we have great ambitions, we are proactive and our future is bright, so we welcome all those who share the same ideas and thoughts as us to come to Southampton."

“Because this is a place where miracles are created!”

"For everything you think is impossible, we will do our best to make it happen!"

"We will use facts to prove that what you think is impossible is because you retreat, you are timid, you are useless, and we, Southampton, will gather a group of fearless braves to turn the impossible into possible!"

Charlene Lahiri never thought that the interview would end up like this. Every word Yang Huan said gave her a very special feeling, very crazy, but not the kind of crazy without reality.

She would rather regard Yang Huan's words as recruiting troops and horses, looking for some like-minded people to surround him and work with him to build Southampton, the super battleship.

Suddenly, she felt an anticipation. She really wanted to see what kind of team Yang Huan wanted to build.

"Are you sure that everything you said today should be published in the newspaper exactly as it is?" Charlene Lahri kindly reminded again.

She could guess that this interview would cause great controversy.

"Of course, why not?" Yang Huan asked with a smile.

"I'm afraid that they will say you are...narcissistic." She didn't want to use any serious adjectives.

"Narcissism?" Yang Huan shook his head and laughed. "Believe me, this is an era for narcissists. If you don't even love yourself, how can others love you? Do you think this is still an era where people have to kneel on the ground and shamelessly beg for survival?"

"You're wrong. That was the traditional era of the past. Now is the Internet era, the era of the awesome and the narcissistic!"

"And my goal is to make Southampton the most awesome, most narcissistic and most unique football club!"

After finishing the interview, Charlene Lahiri also had to organize her notebook and sort out the contents while she was still memorizing them.

Yang Huan walked out of the office and his first look was towards the seat outside the door which originally belonged to his secretary.

In the absence of a secretary, this place belongs to Long Wu's territory, but this guy is nowhere to be seen now.

"Strange, where did you go?"

Yang Huan looked around.

Southampton's administrative offices are all on the first floor, and at a glance, each department is clearly visible.

Soon, Yang Huan saw Long Wu in one of the offices next door and walked over.

"I feel that these mobile games are too simple, just like Fruit Ninja, which is not difficult and gets boring after playing for a long time. Are there any more complex games, preferably ones with many twists and turns and complicated puzzles?"

As soon as I reached the door, I heard Long Wu's voice from afar.

He also said the same thing to Yang Huan, and asked Yang Huan to find someone to develop several mobile games that suit his taste.

"There's no way, Mr. Long Wu!"

The person who spoke was a young new face, probably about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, very gentle-looking, wearing a pair of deep myopic glasses, with black hair and yellow skin, a typical Chinese, and he also spoke Chinese.

"Mobile games may seem simple on the surface, but they are actually very different from traditional computer games. Traditional computer games require large amounts of memory, but mobile phones have limited data traffic, so it is impossible to make games as large and complex as you describe."

"Moreover, mobile games mainly target users who use their spare time to play games, so the games must be designed to be simple and easy to use, so as to attract as many users as possible during this spare time."

"You mean, there is no game like the one I want to play?" Long Wu was full of disappointment.

Yang Huan outside was secretly laughing in his heart.

The mainstream group of people who play mobile games do play in their spare time, but Long Wu is different. He plays almost day and night. If classified, he is more suitable for playing computer games, but he just holds on to a mobile phone.

The man with glasses smiled and comforted him, saying, "Don't be disappointed. Maybe there will be something in the future."

Hearing this, Yang Huan walked in and asked, "Have you ever made a mobile game?"

The guy with glasses was a little surprised to see Yang Huan suddenly barge in, but he was new here too and thought Yang Huan was an employee of the company. He smiled and nodded, "Yes, when I was in college, I thought it was fun, so I designed two mobile games and several mobile software with a few classmates, but we didn't finish any of them, so we broke up."

Yang Huan winked at Long Wu, walked over and sat down in front of them, "Are you Chinese?"

"My name is Zhu Liangcheng, and I'm from Qingdao."

Qingdao and Southampton are friendly cities, and many students from China come to Southampton or even the UK to study.

"So you are now..." Yang Huan saw that he was not wearing a badge.

"Oh, I'm a new technician, responsible for helping the club develop the official mobile app."

Yang Huan seemed to have heard Sun Yue talk about this before. It was said that it was to make it easier for those fans to curse, such as just pressing a few times on the touch screen to curse. At that time, he thought it was a good idea and quite interesting, so he agreed.

"By the way, you just said that you have several classmates. How many are they?" Yang Huan asked again.

"About seven or eight of us, all from China, studying similar majors, so we live together. This situation is very normal abroad. We are all Chinese, and living together means we can take care of each other."

Yang Huan nodded, "Where are they now?"

"They all went to work. One went to Philips, and two went to IBM's research center." Zhu Liangcheng felt a little ashamed when he mentioned this. "I am the one who did the worst among the few people, but I just don't like the rules and regulations of big companies. I find them troublesome."

"Me too!" Yang Huan felt the same way. Although he is a rich second-generation now, he was a wage earner in his previous life.

"Brother, are you here to work too?" Zhu Liangcheng was obviously familiar with the place.

Yang Huan smiled in his heart, neither confirming nor denying, "What's the matter?"

"Nothing. I heard that the owner of Southampton is also Chinese and very rich, but he has a weird temper."

"His temper is a bit strange?" Yang Huan wondered, "Why is it strange?"

"Oh, Manager Sun who recruited me said that our boss likes to be flattered, so when you see him, you have to say nice things. The more and more disgusting you say, the happier the boss will be. Don't you think it's strange?" Zhu Liangcheng laughed.

This scene is no different from what happens in all offices, where employees secretly gossip about their boss.

Yang Huan secretly laughed in his heart, "You are so good, Sun Yue, how dare you say behind my back that I like to be flattered?"

I think you are tired of living!

When Long Wu saw Yang Huan's expression, he knew that Sun Yue was in big trouble. He secretly pulled Zhu Liangcheng's hand and pointed at Yang Huan, signaling him to stop talking nonsense.

"What's the matter?" Zhu Liangcheng still didn't understand.

Just at this time, Charlene Lahri packed up her things and walked out of Yang Huan's office.

As soon as the beauty appeared, she immediately became a beautiful scenery in the office.

Charlene Lahiri walked to the door and said goodbye to Yang Huan, "I'm leaving first. I'll finish writing the manuscript and send it to you for confirmation!"

"Remember, you still owe me a meal!" Yang Huan did not try to keep him.

Even a pig could have guessed that the handsome young man in his twenties in front of him was the boss he had just mentioned. It was a pity that he had previously thought that the boss of Southampton should at least be a middle-aged man in his thirties or forties.

When Yang Huan turned around again, Zhu Liangcheng's face turned as pale as pig liver and he felt desperate. Was he going to be fired on his first day at work?

"Don't be nervous. I'm not a guy with a weird temper. Do you think I look like one?" Yang Huan asked, spreading his hands.

At this time, Zhu Liangcheng would not dare to say that they looked alike even if he was beaten to death, and he just shook his head vigorously.

"Don't think I'm the devil boss who kills people without bloodshed. I'm actually a nice person."

Zhu Liangcheng's head changed from swaying left and right to nodding up and down.

"I believe that you are also a very good employee, but you were misled by the villain and have some misunderstandings about me."

"Yeah, yeah." Zhu Liangcheng nodded even harder.

If Sun Yue was there at this moment, he would definitely consider twisting his head off.

"But we have rules here, so I can't justify not punishing you."

Zhu Liangcheng's face immediately turned bitter and embarrassed. He didn't expect that after saying so much, he would still be fired.

"I'm short of a few people who can make mobile software and games. You'll be responsible for helping me find them. I'll give you two days. The more the better. But I want elite talents, not those half-baked guys."

Without waiting for Zhu Liangcheng to agree, Yang Huan continued, "If you do this well, you won't have to help his mother Sun Yue anymore. I'll set up a company and you'll be the CEO."

"Really?" Zhu Liangcheng's eyes lit up. Is there such a good thing?

Not only was he not fired, but he was given a promotion and a raise?

He just came to work!

Yang Huan smiled faintly. Although he wanted to pull out Sun Yue's tendons and peel off Sun Yue's skin, Sun Yue was a very smart and clever person. The person he liked must not be bad.

"Don't be too happy too soon. If you can't do this well, just get out of here, so that I won't be upset."

Zhu Liangcheng finally understood that this was a test given to him by Yang Huan.

He did a good job and satisfied his boss, got promoted and got a raise, became the general manager, became the CEO, married a beautiful and wealthy woman, and reached the peak of his life.

Come to think of it, he was actually a little excited!

By the way, the boss is not just a little weird, he is very weird.

But, it's so weird and cute!
