Chapter 415 - This Question Has A Correct Answer! (1/2)
“No!” Pei Qian rejected it decisively. Li Yada was a little worried. “But…” Pei Qian did not wait for her to finish but immediately interrupted. “There’s no need to talk about it. This is a matter of principle that cannot be compromised.
“Work will never be finished. Would GOG exceed IOI even if I were to approve for you to go back to work a week in advance?”
Li Yada could not reply to him. “We definitely can’t in a week, but…”
Pei Qian immediately took over. “That’s the reason. If I approve of your request to go to work one week earlier, are you going to apply for overtime on weekends if you did not surpass IOI?
“If you are to work overtime this weekend but fail to surpass IOI, are you going to continue next week?
“You must understand… the dike of a thousand miles collapsed because of an ant’s nest. You should understand the principle of preventing dysfunction.
“Where do you put the rules and regulations of Tengda if you were to continue doing this?!”
Li Yada, “Uh…”
Pei Qian said earnestly. “So, since two more days of overtime would not produce decisive results, then don’t work overtime. Meaningless overtime wastes everyone’s time and the fees I pay for overtime, why bother?”
Li Yada suddenly could not think of a good way to refute, but she felt something was wrong the more she thought about it.

“But Boss Pei, IOI had been launching new versions and the current momentum in Europe and the United States is going very strongly. GOG and IOI are direct competitors. One step behind means falling back many steps.
“One wrong move at this critical period will have unimaginable consequences!”
Li Yada’s tone was very anxious.
Obviously, she had been paying attention to the situation of IOI during her holiday. She could not sit still seeing the quality of IOI improving rapidly.
Pei Qian could not help but sigh. Sometimes, the strong responsibility of employees was not good!
If GOG was doomed to fail from the start, then why spend such effort?
Working overtime and chasing progress yet finally failing, wasting their emotions…
It was better to do it casually from the beginning and spend money to finish it. Pei Qian coughed lightly and said. “I understand where you’re coming from, but this is a matter of principle. It cannot be compromised at will.
“Yada, I think there is a little problem with your mentality.
“It is common to encounter problems at work, and yet your first reaction is to work overtime to solve them?
“Working overtime is not a panacea for everything. On the contrary, it is drinking poison to quench the thirst!
“Use it once, and you’ll become dependent and will sink deeper into it. Use if often, and your other skills will degenerate. You’ll use all skills other than ‘overtime’.
“Think clearly, which is more important.
“Remember, the important thing is not to work overtime, but to do the right things at the right time.
“Being clear about what is right is always far more important than pure hard work.” Li Yada, who was on the other side of the phone, fell silent. She calmed down after some time.
“Boss Pei, your remarks inspire the benighted. I did have the wrong thinking.
“I should not solve any problem at work through overtime. On the contrary, I should use methods outside of overtime to solve it.
“It is indeed my negligence as a person-in-charge if I only know to let the employees work overtime!
“Thank you, Boss Pei, I understand now! Wishing Boss Pei a very happy new year!”
Pei Qian listened to everything silently. “Um, happy new year.” Pei Qian could not help but sigh after hanging up the phone. She was indeed his employee. She could make good arguments, drawing inferences from his words.
The idea of overtime was completely dispelled with a little guidance.
Hm, not bad!
“Finger Games, lend me some strength. Work harder during Chinese New Year and drive GOG to the ground…”
Pei Qian prayed silently.
February 10, the eighth day of the new year…
Work formally started, and yet school had yet to reopen.
Pei Qian still returned to Jingzhou the previous afternoon. His parents knew that Pei Qian was busy at Fei Huang Workspace especially with the new movie about to release. They did not get him to stay more than necessary.
They only urged him to stay healthy and never overdraw on his health.
Overdrawing on his health was very unlikely, Pei Qian thought in his heart.
His job was pretty good for his health. He would sleep until he wakes up naturally every day. He would laze around at work and eat good food at Ming Yun Private Kitchen from time to time.
Everything was rather comfortable, of course, except when getting backstabbed by his own employees.
17th floor, Tengda Games gaming department.. Cui Geng continued collecting material from Bao Xu.
The Zhongdian Chinese Network study class was to resume today. Cui Geng might be a member of the class, but he had an official position in Tengda-‘special observer’. Therefore, he need not be locked up in the ‘little black room’.
The other people in the gaming department quickly entered their work state, typing intently at the keyboard. It took too much time to even sip some water.
No choice, they had much to do!
Many people like Li Yada were paying attention to IOI’s movement during the Chinese New Year. They wanted nothing but to rush back to work after seeing the updated version of the game.
