Start being the boss today

September [-]rd, nine o'clock in the morning.

Greenland Mansion, No. [-], Shabin Road, first floor.

This townhouse was not big, and it was remodeled for a studio. The foyer was turned into a living room. The large living room was messy with rows of desks and colorful ergonomic swivel chairs, which was considered a work area.Of course, the restaurant is still a restaurant. Xia Jiong specially invited his aunt to cook the Chinese dinner, but when necessary, the restaurant will also be turned into a meeting room.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, meals and meetings at Star Whale Studio are carried out at the same time.

The only exception is the morning routine.

The studio employees who are used to being free and undisciplined don't like regular meetings very much, but since Fan Yichun was airborne as the chief producer and forced to establish this routine, requiring everyone to submit a form in the morning on what tasks they will complete that day, the employees The efficiency has indeed improved by more than 01:30 points.Xia Jiong spent a lot of money, but failed to develop "Ink War Chess", which was also released online quickly, and won the domestic single-player game sales for more than half a year. Top five games in this category.What's more, "Huaxia Electronic Games", the official magazine of the domestic video game industry trade union, even awarded them the Best Newcomer Game of the Year trophy.

Star Whale Studio became famous overnight, and now it is one of the top three domestic high-quality stand-alone game production studios.

Jiang Hai is a programmer who has just been recruited into Star Whale this year. He is a fresh young man who has graduated less than a month ago. He feels lucky to be able to join Star Whale. No wonder the three generations of his ancestors have bought lottery tickets for decades, and they have never won five yuan.

Star Whale is well-known in the industry, with high wages, good benefits, and aspirations. It doesn’t need 996, and the head of the program team has thick hair. That is to say, there is no need to worry about hair loss.Jiang Hai's university is also a famous school, but the students still broke their heads in order to enter the Star Whale.

Now it is Jiang Hai, the little transparent, who has entered the Star Whale.

… Not to mention that the three generations of ancestors won less than five yuan in lottery tickets, Jiang Hai once again thought happily, with this level of luck, the luck of the next three generations will also be used up!

For some unknown reason yesterday, the chief producer, Mr. Fan, suddenly gave everyone a day off.It's all holidays, Jiang Hai naturally doesn't like to come to the studio to use the internet, air conditioner, meals, and snacks, but he has a regular schedule, and he doesn't go to bed early when he goes back to bed. Finally, in his hot rented house, he conscientiously assigned him The above code is finished.So much so that before the start of work today, he came to the studio with a notebook on his back.

There is no need to check in, and he changed into slippers when entering the door. When he walked to the workshop, Jiang Hai suddenly found that someone had arrived earlier than him.

"Good morning, team leader."

Jiang Hai whispered, and lowered his head after a glance.

The head of the program team of Star Whale Studio is Su Qin. Today she has grass flowers in her hair. She wears a vermilion waist and a green long hakama, and a moon-white round neck double-breasted gown. Although she looks ordinary, she is dressed up and down. , just like a woman who walked out of an ancient painting.

She has thick long hair, tied into a bun, smooth and dark, which is really the envy of people (programmers).

"Xiao Jiang," she also saw Jiang Hai, and asked, "Did you buy these flower pots?"

"It's not me!" Jiang Hai retorted immediately, and it took a second to realize what Su Qin said, "Flower pot?"

Yes, flower pots.

Large flowerpots, small flowerpots, square flowerpots, round flowerpots, polygonal flowerpots with a great sense of design, ceramic flowerpots, glass flowerpots, plastic flowerpots, cement watering flowerpots , solid colored flower pots, painted flower pots, etc., etc.

It's been a day, and their work tables are full of all kinds of empty flower pots.

Jiang Hai was shocked.

But he has seen this kind of scene. When he joined the job for a week, the boss of the studio who lived on the third floor suddenly became obsessed with the taste of crab meat. As it is today, a studio is full.

Then the whole studio ate crabs for almost a week, until they turned blue. The boss gave them the unfinished crabs as benefits, but even if they brought them home, they all gave them away.

"Big, maybe the boss bought it?" Jiang Hai whispered.

"Well, well, I know, I know, but I still don't understand." Su Qin held his forehead speechlessly, "What's there to be addicted to? Even if he can't use it up this time, if he wants to distribute it as a welfare, I will Absolutely not."

"What are you talking about?" Fan Yichun came out of the restaurant, wearing a loose suit and a pair of huge dark circles under his eyes. He scanned the work room and saw countless flower pots. He clicked his tongue hard, but did not get angry immediately. Instead, he pointed to the dining room with the document in his hand and said, "It's nine o'clock, come, let's have a meeting."

Jiang Hai was surprised.

Su Qin also raised her eyebrows, Pingping Tingting walked towards the restaurant and said, "Everyone hasn't arrived yet."

"There is no one else," Fan Yichun pulled a chair by the long dining table and sat down. "Except for you, everyone who didn't come has resigned."

Su Qin also pulled out a chair, sat down at the dining table, and poured herself a cup of soy milk by the way.Just as Jiang Hai walked into the restaurant, he heard Fan Yichun's words, his feet softened, he sat down on the ground, and turned over several stacked flower pots.

Fan Yichun and Su Qin looked back at him.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" Jiang Hai got up in a panic, straightened the flowerpot, walked to the corner of the dining table and pulled away his usual chair. After sitting down, he was in a daze for a few seconds before looking up and asking in a dazed voice, "Sorry, Fan, Mr. Fan, um, you seem to have said something just now, but I... I didn't catch it?"

"Only the four of us had a meeting today, and the others resigned." Fan Yichun repeated for him thoughtfully.

Jiang Hai opened his mouth wide.

Su Qin had already heard some news, so she wasn't very surprised. Her only doubt was:

"four people?"

Fan Yichun remained silent, and stretched out his hand to pull away a chair beside him.

With a bang, someone fell to the ground.

Jiang Hai looked under the table, only to find that their rich and interesting boss put four chairs together and slept on them to catch up on sleep.They did not see it because it was hidden by the long dining table.

Xia Jiong got up from the ground, his eyes were sleepy, he put on his glasses, and mourned: "A tiger's poison doesn't eat its offspring, Papa Fan."

"Call Dad again, and I will never sign a courier for you again!" Fan Yichun knocked on the table, "Boss, can you imagine and be considerate, I slept in the studio last night, and at four o'clock this morning, I was The mood of being woken up by drones delivering flower pots one after another?"

"I'm sorry, I was wrong," Xia Jiong immediately apologized, "but I just want to vent my unsatisfied shopping desire."

"Your desire to shop is none of my business!" Fan Yichun roared, turning into a fire-breathing dragon.

"Old Fan, boss, don't talk about cross talk," Su Qin also knocked on the table, "tell me about the current situation."

Xia Jiong spread out his hands, expressing that he listened to you. Fan Yichun took a sip of soy milk, calmed down, and told the two of them the news he got from various sources yesterday.

The more he listened, the paler Jiang Haichang's face became.

It seems that he didn't come to the studio for a day. Why did the star whale suddenly become a sunken ship?

Star Whale shouldn't have developed this neural connection game at the beginning. Thinking about it carefully, of course this kind of project will be targeted by big companies.

Jiang Hai instantly forgot his excitement when he heard that the studio was developing a neural connection game a month ago, and couldn't help complaining in his heart.

After Fan Yichun finished speaking, he looked at Su Qin and said, "I thought you, Xiao Su, would be poached too."

"It is true that a headhunter came to me," Su Qin lowered her eyes, expressing her disdain dignifiedly, "I originally jumped from a big factory to Star Whale, and what I want is the degree of freedom here. How could a big factory like Kamikaze let me I wear Hanfu to work all year round? I’m going to go back when my brain is flooded.”

Fan Yichun looked at Jiang Hai again, and said happily:

"I didn't expect Xiao Jiang to stay here."

Jiang Hai's face was blank.

... He, he didn't know about it at all, and no, no headhunters came to him.

Although he didn't say this, Fan Yichun understood Jiang Hai's expression.The atmosphere at the dining table was faintly stagnant, until a frivolous male voice came from the working hall.

"Oh, oh, oh? The sun is so bright, and the wind is so refreshing. I arrived early today. Hasn't anyone else come yet?"

While speaking, the man walked into the restaurant.

Jiang Haixun looked around and saw a man with long brown curly hair, tied into a ponytail, unrestrained, wearing a loose white shirt that reached to the knees, jeans, and holding a budding red rose in his hand.

He has fair skin, unlike Asians, with tough facial lines, dark blue eyes, full of affection.

Ye Linyu, the head of the art group of Star Whale Studio, was late again. When he entered the door, he saw Xia Jiong, and said in French in surprise, "OHlàlà! Boss, you changed your hairstyle!"

Xia Jiong adjusted his glasses, made a marching salute, and said happily, "Amazing, isn't it?"

Ye Linyu gave a thumbs up: "Handsome!"

Seeing this person appear, Fan Yichun was a little moved.

"Lao Ye, you didn't even leave!"

"I didn't come to Star Whale to work for salary." Ye Linyu shrugged, skillfully found the vase, took out the roses from the day before yesterday, threw them away, and put the roses brought today into the vase.

Then he turned around, sat directly on the dining table next to Xia Jiong, crossed his legs and asked, "I also understand the situation, but there is an old saying in China that the boat will go straight when it reaches the bridge, right? Boss, Lao Fan, what are we now?" plan?"

Ye Linyu first mentioned Xia Jiong in this sentence, but actually asked Fan Yichun.

No, before Fan Yichun answered, Xia Jiong raised his hand like a primary school student, and said loudly:

"Of course the game will be released in advance!"

Jiang Hai wandered into the sky, Su Qin and Ye Linyu looked at Fan Yichun, seeing that he did not object, they all nodded.

"Understood," Su Qin said, "Have you set the time yet? I'll do the final inspection and test."

"The internal test will start on the [-]th," Xia Jiong said, "but inspections and tests are unnecessary. I want to say sorry to you, Aqin. In order to avoid places that will be stolen by Kamikaze, I asked someone to give the game A major revision has been made. And Ye Ye, basically all the art materials you gave have been replaced.”

"It's all replaced?" Ye Linyu was surprised, "Boss, who did you find to repaint the materials to do the modeling? You can replace so many in one day, is it a three-headed and six-armed Nezha? If it is outsourced, the style will not be unified. ?

"?" Su Qin was also puzzled, but she didn't ask further, "You are the boss, you make the decision."

"However," she turned to look at Fan Yichun, "Old Fan, you, the chief producer, agree?"

"...No," Fan Yichun said with difficulty, "I was busy collecting information yesterday, and went through trade union procedures, so I didn't know anything about it."

"It's already been changed," Xia Jiong spread his hands, "Don't worry about such trivial things."

"This shit is no small matter!" Fan Yichun roared, "Games! Show me!"

"This... After changing the code, the original neural connection helmet can no longer be used, and the new helmet has not been produced yet..." Xia Jiong looked left and right with a guilty conscience, "Ah! That's right! Is Kamikaze nine o'clock today? Holding a press conference? Xiao Jiang~ Xiao Jiang! Go and turn on the projection screen, let's see what Kamikaze will say at the press conference?"

"boss!!!"

Even though Fan Yichun looked like a volcanic eruption, Jiang Hai still subconsciously obeyed the boss's words.The projection screen was turned on, Ye Linyu went to operate the computer, and soon projected the live broadcast of the Kamikaze game project conference.

They opened a little late, halfway through the show.

Hu Ruiguang spoke on it, and the barrage in the live broadcast room was very lively.

"I didn't expect to be able to play a real neural connection game in my lifetime!"

"Sword Art Online has become a reality! Will my brain be microwaved when I play this game?"

"LinkStart!"

"Kamikaze Dafa is good!"

"Kamikaze is awesome!"

"Kamikaze is awesome!!!"

Xia Jiong glanced at it, then lowered his head and opened Weibo on his mobile phone.

"Should have been trending, right? Oh, it's the first one, the world's first neural connection virtual online game, this topic is awesome."

"...Boss?" Ye Linyu asked everyone's heart on behalf of the crowd, "Why are you so happy about the hot search on your opponent?"

"Ah, I forgot to tell you." Xia Jiong raised his head and said with a bright smile, "Actually, I bought the marketing team last night, and the request is that once Kamikaze starts marketing, I will go grab their topic."

"what?"

Four pairs of dazed eyes.

"No? Boss," Fan Yichun looked at Xia Jiong, as if looking at an idiot, "We are a small studio, what can we use to compete with Kamikaze?"

"Of course it is "Heavenly Man", yes, I changed the name of "Heavenly Man" to "Heavenly Man", Xia Jiong replied, "Of course it is the new promotional CG of "Heavenly Man."

"When did we make a promotional CG?! How can I, the chief producer, not know?!"

Fan Yichun growled.

He snatched Xia Jiong's cell phone, and the other three came over to watch him reach out his hand and click on the video.
