Chapter 107 - Dont Give Him Any Work! (1/2)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Pei Qian wandered around and came to Lu Mingliang’s work desk. He was preparing to give Xiao Lu a heads up. Pei Qian hired Ma Yiqun as something like a lucky charm. He wanted to neutralize his own luck.
If Lu Mingliang misunderstood this and allowed Ma Yiqun to get to work like changing the entire synopsis of the game, it would be very dangerous indeed. Ma Yiqun’s writing was really not bad. If the synopsis made the game become popular, what would Pei Qian do?!
Thus, Pei Qian had to make sure that Ma Yiqun did not do anything at all.
When he saw Boss Pei wandering over to him, Lu Mingliang became on high alert. He stood up and asked, “Boss Pei, do you have any instructions?”
Pei Qian had not been coming to the office often in recent days because he had been busy. He had to continue filming for Boss Pei, and he had to run errands outside as well. School had resumed, too. Every now and then, Pei Qian still had to attend lessons.
He would also visit the internet cafe once in a while to take a look. Every time he noted that there was the risk of the internet cafe becoming popular, he had to deal with it immediately.
Thus, Pei Qian felt exhausted.
These employees were not making his life any easier either!
“There’s nothing much. I just wanted to tell you that we hired a new plot planner,” Pei Qian said nonchalantly.
Lu Mingliang immediately inferred what Boss Pei was saying. “I understand, Boss Pei! I will ask him to redo all the synopses for the three games immediately!”
“No, no, no, no! That’s not what I meant!” Pei Qian quickly shook his head. “I meant to say… he is new and unfamiliar with games. Make sure you do not give him any work this month. Let him pick things up on his own. Understand?
“Keep him away from Game Designer especially. Do not let him touch any plot or synopsis!”
Lu Mingliang was stumped.
What?
He hired a new employee but did not want him to do any work? He just wanted him to observe things? He could not even assist?
This…
The first thing that came to Lu Mingliang’s mind was that something was strange. However, on second thought, this was quite reasonable.
Who was the one who wrote Game Designer’s plot and voice-over script?
Boss Pei personally wrote it!
Even if this plot planner was experienced, his standard could not compare to Boss Pei’s. Much less if he was an amateur. All the more, this man had to watch and learn.
Given all of these, it was very reasonable for Boss Pei to give him an entire month to observe!
Lu Mingliang quickly nodded and said, “Alright, Boss Pei! I understand! I will give him things to learn, so that he will be able to understand your game design intentions!”
Understand my game design intentions? What intentions does my game design have? Persuading players to stop playing?
Alright, whatever…
Pei Qian was too lazy to explain anything more. He turned around and started to leave. However, he immediately turned back around. He caught a glimpse of Lu Mingliang’s computer screen. That was… part of Game Designer’s submitted art resources!
There were animations and models.
Pei Qian only managed to catch a glimpse of the concept drafts for the animations, but he felt like they looked familiar.
That’s strange.
Why did it feel so familiar?
Pei Qian frowned and asked, “These animations…”
Lu Mingliang excitedly answered, “Eh, Boss Pei, you could tell? That’s right, they’re done by veteran Ruan Guangjian! Boss Pei and veteran Ruan Guangjian indeed have great minds that think alike; you could recognize his work with just one glance!”
Pei Qian, “????”
What the hell?!
He turned to stare at Lu Mingliang in disbelief. “I… didn’t I ask you to find the most expensive artist?”
Lu Mingliang nodded. “That’s right. Big Boss Ruan was the most expensive artist listed.”
What the f*ck!
Pei Qian nearly vomited blood. Only a few months had passed, but Ruan Guangjian had gone from being completely transparent to an expensive artist? Even property prices did not rise so quickly!
Lu Mingliang saw Pei Qian’s astonished expression and thought that he was pleasantly surprised. Excitedly, he continued, “What’s more, Big Boss Ruan heard about your project and only took a token sum as remuneration. He was very pleasant indeed!
“Boss Pei, you did not even have to show your own face, but you saved tens of thousands of yuan for the company’s research and development fund. You really are well-known in the industry!”
Pei Qian remained stunned for a moment. Then, he asked, “Can we still edit the contract?”
