Chapter 97 - Meeting to Figure out Boss Peis Motives (1/2)

On the 24th, Wednesday…

The design team had a meeting.

Pei Qian did not attend the meeting as the design manuscripts were already decided and were being manufactured. As the boss, there was no need for him to continue paying attention to these minute details, and there was no way he could do that.

Lu Mingliang had almost shouldered all the work during this time.

Although Huang Sibo’s death—no—absence caused everyone to be a little lost, everyone originally had their respective roles; and there were not many changes made to the structure of the design team. Therefore, they got back on track very soon.

Meanwhile, Lu Mingliang was gradually accustomed to his job scope as Chief Planner after working on the job for some time. Other than the fact that he was still used to doing things on his own and sometimes clung to the tasks instead of assigning them to others, he did not face any other problems.

After being the Chief Planner for some time, Lu Mingliang found the job to be less challenging than what he had originally expected.

The experience with Ocean Stronghold made this an extremely mature team. As long as Lu Mingliang ensured that the nodes of the job functioned properly, other members on the team would handle their parts proactively.

Lu Mingliang was suddenly a little sentimental.

Didn’t that mean that a lot of people were actually capable of doing the job? The only difference was that they were not given the opportunity to become the Chief Planner.

When he used to handle all the odds and ends in his previous job, he was completely drained of energy every day and worked overtime like a dog. However, his abilities did not improve at all. That was because he did all the repetitive manual work.

That made him apprehensive if he would be able to take on the role of a Chief Planner when he landed the job.

However, after some time, he realized that it was not as challenging as he had expected! To think of it now, the chief planner position in his previous company demanded employees to compete using their seniority and experience. However, those were not essential qualities. It might only be a means to shortlist suitable employees.

Maybe it was because of the way Boss Pei chose and assigned people their jobs? Lu Mingliang could not help but think about how talents were everywhere, but they were seldom recognized!

A good leader should try his best to allow his employees to showcase their potential and creativity. Meanwhile, leaders who only knew how to take advantage of their employees would transform them into machines that were unable to think. That would cause their efficiency to decrease with time!

As he thought about that, Lu Mingliang had a newfound respect for Boss Pei.

Lu Mingliang cleared his throat and said, “There are two main agendas for today’s meeting. The first thing is that I will be leaving the office for two to three days to be the voice actor for Game Designer. Don’t ask me why. I want to know the reason, too…”

Up until now, Lu Mingliang still had no idea why Pei Qian chose him to be the voice actor. No matter what considerations he might have, his decision could be in the hall of fame for the most eccentric human behaviors yet.

However, since Boss Pei was the one who made the decision, it must be undoubtedly correct!

The others were dumbfounded, too.

What was that?

In the middle stages of planning a game, the Chief Planner left to be the voice actor of the game?

The air in the entire room turned still.

Lu Mingliang continued saying, “The second thing is that I hope that all of you can spend some time reading the voice-overs and complete your respective tasks. You must ensure that you communicate with the expert Ruan Guangjian in a timely manner. If you face problems that you could not solve, feel free to give me a call.”

Lu Mingliang gave some simple instructions for the upcoming tasks.

There were not many lines for the voice-overs within the game. If everything went smoothly, three days would be ample for him to finish the work.

Although he was only leaving for three days, time was precious; and Lu Mingliang was afraid that they would slack off or that they might face problems that they could not handle. Therefore, he reminded them multiple times.

After he finished giving his instructions, the team started talking freely to discuss the details of the work. Because the design manuscript was very detailed, the few problems left hanging were quickly resolved.
