“Hey, I remember the contract we signed with him. Not only is there a penalty for breach of contract, he also has one, right?”

Xu Zhi had previously seen the contract he signed with Wang Kewen. Within five years, if he was fired or took the initiative to change jobs, he would have to pay a penalty of three times his salary. As for the competition agreement, Bluestar currently did not have such a thing.

“President Xu, yes, there is such an agreement. Do you want to pursue it?” Gu Wenwei asked.

“Of course, I want to pursue it now!”

“Okay! I’ll do it.”

After Gu Wenwei left, Xu Zhi raised his head and picked up a pen on his desk. Now that Wang Kewen had left, the position of director of the R&D department was vacant.

In the Dream Game Company, there was no such thing as a deputy director of each department. The next position under director would be the team leader.

Regarding the vacant position of head of the R&D department, Xu Zhi did not plan to recruit people from outside. Instead, he chose them from within.

Xu Zhi had met all three team leaders of the R&D department. One of them left a deep impression on him, and he had a good impression of him before.

It was the employee who had barged into the meeting room at the beginning of the open beta because the server capacity was not enough. His name was Hong Wu, the third team leader of the R&D department.

At that time, Wang Kewen did not say that he was the team leader, and Xu Zhi only thought that he was an ordinary employee. Later, he found out that he was the third team leader of the R&D department, in charge of the server for Jumping the Line of Fire.

“Hong Wu, Hong Wu.”

Xu Zhi wanted to promote him directly to the position of director, but Xu Zhi also thought of what would happen if he could not convince the public.

Putting down his pen, Xu Zhi walked out of the president’s office.

The main building of Dream Game Company was surrounded by a circle of walls, and there was a gate to the south of the wall. There were two rooms at the gate, and inside was the security department. Although it was called the security department, there were actually only five or six old security guards on duty. They would just open the gate when they see a car, and they would keep watch at night. When they saw Xu Zhi, they would raise their hands to salute him.

On the first floor of the building, half of the reception hall was occupied. The rest was the office area for personnel administration. On the second floor, there were offices for the marketing department, research and development department, operations department, and planning department. They were separated from each other.

On the third floor, other than Xu Zhi’s office, there was also the location of the finance department and the promotion department that Xu Zhi had previously set up.

Overall, the first and third floors were relatively empty, while the second floor seemed more compact.

Xu Zhi had previously wanted a department to move to the third or first floor, but the strange thing was that no one wanted to move, so in the end, he just let it go.

At this time, when he walked down to the third floor, Xu Zhi started to walk around the various departments on the second floor.

After walking around once, everyone was at various positions. When they saw Xu Zhi, they all wanted to bury their heads into their computers, appearing to be very serious in their work. For a moment, the second floor, which was originally noisy, suddenly became quieter than the Mariana Trench. Only the sound of Xu Zhi’s footsteps echoed.

Xu Zhi was also experienced, so he understood.

When he went to the R&D department, Xu Zhi stopped moving. He stared at the worktables of the employees and observed Hong Wu from there.

At this moment, when the employees of the R&D department saw Xu Zhi staring at them, they all felt goosebumps and began to communicate with each other with their eyes.

Hong Wu’s third group had quite a number of people. After going through the busy process of the open beta of Jumping the Line of Fire, they had been very relaxed recently.

“Brother Hong, what is President Xu looking at?”

One of the staff next to him winked at Hong Wu. Hong Wu immediately understood what he meant. He blinked, and Hong Wu could not figure out what Xu Zhi was doing.

“Could it be that he’s going to lay off people?”

Hong Wu suddenly thought about it, but he was not sure either. However, there was this possibility. There were a lot of people in the R&D department right now.

After looking at it for a while, Xu Zhi was still quite satisfied. He decided to let Hong Wu be the head of the R&D department.
