Chapter 617 - Selection of Outstanding Employee (1/2)
Another knock came five minutes later…
“Boss Pei, the person-in-charge of every department, has arrived. We’re about to start the selection for outstanding employees,” Assistant Xin reminded him.
Pei Qian nodded. “Alright, I’ll be right there!”
It was already August; it was time for the biannual selection of outstanding employees.
It was originally at the beginning of the month, but Boss Pei was really too busy with work and exams week. He nearly exploded with what happened with IOI. He did not have the time to care about it so it was pushed to the middle of the month.
What a good thing it was to have it pushed down two weeks.
So many inside jobs!
If it was held as originally scheduled, these things would have stayed hidden for another half a year before he could get rid of them.
Pei Qian sharpened his knife. Who was the lucky guy to be eliminated this time?
The person-in-charge of the various departments was chatting merrily.
In fact, everyone knew in their hearts that Tengda was developing so well that all departments were making rapid progress so it was not surprising for anyone to get the outstanding employee award.
Some of them did not want to get this outstanding employee award, especially these department heads.
That was because they were very satisfied with their jobs and did not want to change their career paths. For example, Zhang Yuan was so reluctant when he was awarded the best employee previously.
Moreover, the person-in-charge was the highest authority in every department. If the department achieved great success, most of the credit would be given to the department head unless the ability of a certain employee was particularly outstanding.
That led to the fact that the outstanding employees were mostly among the department heads.
Many of them wanted to voluntarily give up, but Boss Pei would definitely not allow it. That was why everyone could only accept it.
As to the Dream Fund, it used to be a lot, but there did not seem to be too much left.
However, Boss Pei was not stingy with money. For example, the DGE Club did not have enough money after the Dream Fund, and Boss Pei still gave a huge grant.
In short, everyone just regarded the Best Employee Selection as a compliment. It was nothing too strange.
Bao Xu sat in his seat calmly.
It couldn’t be me again, right???
There might be some stressful instinctive reactions, but Bao Xu really felt that there was no reason for him to be selected again! He carefully recalled the past ‘unfortunate hits’ for the Best Employee Selection.
Bao Xu was responsible for the research and development of the Ocean Stronghold when Huang Sibo got it. He worked hard and won second place among outstanding employees. That was normal.
Bao Xu might have kept a low profile during Lu Mingliang’s time, but during the process of Game Designer, he debugged the game and was also responsible for the optimization of the old games so he won second place again.
After that, Bao Xu began to shrink desperately, handing over documents for Li Yada to submit. Yet that led Li Yada to obtain second place for best employee. Boss Pei felt that it was too dangerous for a girl to go out alone so he got Bao Xu to accompany her!
Therefore, Bao Xu continued to learn his lesson.
After returning from the trip, he began to disappear from the front lines together with Li Yada. Other than occasionally making simple suggestions, he did not care about anything, desperately trying to reduce his existence!
More importantly, in the past six months, the gaming department had not been particularly successful.
Struggle was not done developing yet, and there was no time for them to go online. The Tengda Gaming department was not doing so well compared to the other departments!
It was impossible for Hu Xianbin to get the Best employee award. Min Jingchao wasn’t on it as well as he was only responsible for the update and maintenance of GOG.
The other departments had achieved remarkable results:
Xiao Peng’s Fish-Catching Internet Cafe 3.0 was a great success…
Rui Yuchen’s Fish-Catching Take-Out became profitable and even went on TV…
Yu Pingan: Tengda Life App integrated many industries…
Chang You’s OTTO cell phone achieved huge sales volume…
Fei Huang Workspace’s movie obtained huge box office and awards…
Moreover, that was just a few of the results by the many departments! Their performances were all much better than the gaming department!
If the person-in-charge had no chance, then I—as a hidden transparent character here—would definitely not have any chance either!
Bao Xu felt that he must have been safe no matter how he thought about it.
Voting officially began as Bao Xu gradually became calm. A histogram appeared on the big screen. Everyone took out their cell phones and opened the Tengda Life App and TPDb to cast their precious votes.
Bao Xu’s eyes were glued to his name. His face blackened by the second. He realized that there were still more than 30 votes for himself!
Bao Xu clearly remembered how he won more than 20 votes previously. He had always wanted to find out who they were and talk to them about life. However, it was a huge pity that the votes were anonymous.
As a result, some of them remembered, and the consensus actually spread after half a year!
Bao Xu highly suspected that these people voted for him because they did not know who else to vote for. They might just want to continue the winning streak.
Bao Xu began to seriously consider if he should bribe the programmers of the TPDb website to find out who had been voting for him.
