Chapter 56: Boss Pei’s Fruits of Labor
Lin Wan sat in the guest room sipping tea offered by Assistant Xin.
Ah, how nostalgic.
That was the taste of home…
How long has it been since she had such good tea? Probably half a year at least…?
Lin Wan was in her final year of university and it would take her another half a year before graduating. However, she had already spent half a year interning at Sun Strike Studios as well.
When Lin Wan made her decision to enter the gaming industry while she was schooling, she had many arguments with her father with everything escalating during the summer of her third year.
With that, she decided to run away from home in a huff to do her internship in Sun Strike Studios.
Thereafter, Lin Wan led a really frugal life. All the branded bags and clothes she could afford in the past were now only accessible to her after saving up.
She had not managed to taste the same tea at home outside either.
This was the first time that Lin Wan had the feeling of home in a long time.
Instantly, her fondness for Tengda rose rapidly!
This was Lin Wan’s first time visiting Jingzhou City and when she debarked from the plane, she was slightly disappointed.
This was a second tier city after all and could not be compared to the glamor of a first tier city like Guangzhou.
However, her disappointment was replaced with admiration and elation upon entering Shenhua View!
When she saw the working environment and the attitude of all the employees, she decided that this was the feeling she wanted!
If she had seen a glimpse of the idealist light illuminating from Pei Qian previously, she was bathing in it at this place!
Assistant Xin knocked and entered, holding a contract.
“Congratulations! Boss Pei has agreed to it! Once you sign this contract, you’ll officially be an employee of Tengda! The starting salary will be at 4,000. Are you alright with it?”
Lin Wan stood up hurriedly. “Of course!”
She took the contract over and browsed through it casually before signing her name.
“So, what will my job be?” Lin Wan asked in anticipation.
Assistant Xin gave it a thought. “Your job… hmms, come and join our cohesion activity at 2pm tomorrow. We’ll go for a movie, have a meal and go for karaoke!”
“Huh?” Lin Wan was stumped.
…
…
Friday afternoon.
Pei Qian who had disappeared for his final exams finally showed his face once more in office. This was because Ocean Stronghold was planned to be uploaded onto the official games platform this week based on the original schedule.
The settlement was due two weeks later because Pei Qian left himself some room for error.
When he had decided on the project, he was worried that his slack employees might be too slow such that the game might be delayed. That was why he pushed the deadline ahead by a week so that they would have breathing room.
Today was the day for him to reap the fruits of his labor.
He went to Huang Sibo straight after arriving at the office.
“Boss Pei!” Huang Sibo looked spirited and seemed to have turned handsomer.
The two months spent in Tengda had caused Huang Sibo’s income to rise along with his resting time. As such, his mood was considerably lifted too.
That was why he no longer looked as lethargic as before and was even filled with energy!
Winter had arrived and Huang Sibo had just bought a few coats for the weather just the week before.
Considering the fact that he had more spare cash now and he was working at a place like Shenhua View, Huang Sibo decided to get a decent outfit and thus, he spent more than a thousand on a casual-looking suit. Now, he looked more like a slightly successful professional.
“How’s the progress of Ocean Stronghold? Do we need a week’s extension?” Pei Qian asked.
Huang Sibo shook his head furiously. “No! Don’t worry, Boss Pei, we’ve already tested it repeatedly and fixed all the bugs we found. The game can be uploaded at any time!”
“Hmms, not bad,” Pei Qian nodded his head but there was no joy in his face.
Huang Sibo’s bravado had Pei Qian feeling nervous!
