"I think there are two reasons why our second game has been slow to progress. First, the update frequency of the first game, 'Tower of Slaughter,' has not been slowed down in time, which has taken up too much energy. Second, too many people's skills are not enough to handle the current project. I hope you will learn quickly and not become the ones who hold everyone back."
"Because the progress of our new game is unclear, I suggest that the programming team continue to focus on stabilizing the revenue of 'Tower of Slaughter' for the next two weeks, and everyone should work overtime to quickly adapt to the structure and production process of the new game."
Peng Leyun was methodically analyzing the recent problems of the programming team in the conference room. He had even made a special PPT for this meeting. Chen Lu was sitting on the side, resting his chin on his hand, his eyes fixed on the phone hidden under the table.
He turned his gaze to Chen Lu, "Brother Lu, this is the current status of the project. Do you have any further instructions?"
"Let's do it your way for now, I'll figure out the rest."
Chen Lu said softly, clearly listening. After speaking, he looked up and around, “Everyone, since your first day at the company, your salaries have never been delayed, right? And your bonuses have been more than you expected, haven’t they?”
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other and then nodded in unison. Not only were their salaries and bonuses impressive, but when work wasn't busy, they were never penalized for being late or leaving early, and they weren't even criticized.
Most of the current employees are interns or already working, so they are naturally well aware of the company's generous benefits. It's the kind of company that makes people around them drool with envy.
Seeing this, Chen Lu nodded slightly and continued:
"I'll be responsible for finding people to solve the technical problems. You don't need to worry about anything except trying your best to keep up with the progress. But I'll say it again: the project progress is still the responsibility of the person in charge. If you don't finish, you'll be paid and fired immediately."
"knew."
Everyone responded in unison. They were used to Chen Lu saying this and had no doubt about it. Because Chen Lu genuinely didn't care if someone slacked off, and when someone failed to complete their tasks and dragged the team down, he wouldn't hesitate to fire them without batting an eye.
If there's anyone in this company who can make a mistake without taking responsibility, it's the stunningly beautiful boss's wife. It's no exaggeration to say she's the boss's darling.
Chen Lu stood up, pushed open the door, and went out.
Jiang Chao followed behind him with a look of disdain.
This guy is so good at giving two sweet treats and then hitting you with a stick; he's really ruthless.
"About the investment with Tencent..." As soon as the two of them went outside, Jiang Chao reached out and grabbed Chen Lu's hand. "We might need to make a trip to Shenzhen in a few days."
He looked somewhat troubled. "I wasn't planning on making you go through all this trouble, but I think they'd rather talk to you."
Chen Lu looked up and pondered for a moment, then said seriously, "Let's postpone it for a few days."
Why?
"It's Liang Zhirou's birthday in a few days."
After Chen Lu finished speaking, he shook the car keys in his hand, indicating that he was going out.
Jiang Chao watched Chen Lu's retreating figure, sighed with a wry smile, and inexplicably felt a sense of déjà vu when he was still in school and facing final exams.
Back then, Chen Lu was the same way. After all the fuss, he did his best and left the rest to fate, doing whatever he needed to do. Only he looked at the pile of important notes in front of him, getting anxious and then wasting his time, only to end up doing much worse on the exam than Chen Lu.
He just didn't expect that Chen Lu could be so carefree when the worst that could happen was failing a course. Now, even if the second game is stillborn due to immature technology, he can still be so carefree.
This is the only thing he doesn't understand about Chen Lu since he met him.
Just as his thoughts were still lingering in the past, his phone suddenly rang.
It was Liu Yan calling. Her voice sounded a little tired, but she was still cheerful. "I'm finally going to pass the bar exam! How are your plans for our trip coming along? Let me tell you, I was able to get through the exam entirely because of this thought."
If I could do it all over again, I would never choose civil engineering as my major!
Jiang Chao didn't feel like laughing at the joke. Looking at the college students passing by below through the French windows, he suddenly felt a little envious.
After a moment of silence, he exhaled a smoke ring and said, "The company's projects have been a bit off lately, I'll go with you in a while."
"Okay, you're busy. Don't forget then."
The previously cheerful voice on the other end of the phone seemed to have been doused with cold water, and immediately became calm.
A moment later, Jiang Chao heard the sound of the phone being hung up from the receiver. He ignored it, took a deep breath, and leaned back in his chair.
This is how it is for startups these days; stepping out of your comfort zone means taking this kind of risk, and if you don't step out, you have no future...
He knew that worrying was useless, but he really didn't have the energy to care about anything else. He just wanted to find a way to try again.
The only thing on his mind was to find a way to get technical support from Tencent, so he and Chen Lu had to go to Shenzhen.
Otherwise, they would have to abandon the new game and let it die before it was even born, thus wasting all the initial investment.
While it won't force the company to close down, it's still a major blow to the company.
Either go all the way down this path and take the risk of being dragged down by the game.
Obviously, none of these are good ideas.
......
Actually, Chen Lu wasn't in the mood for joking around today, but since Liang Zhirou missed him, he was definitely going to come back.
After parking the car, Chen Lu sat alone in the car for a while, lost in thought. Only after confirming that he looked okay in the rearview mirror did he open the door and get out of the car.
