A game of dreams

"This is also your work for employment. If you want to take it away, you need the company's consent."

Yuan Chong was dumbfounded: "But... I developed this in private. It has nothing to do with the company, and I have never used the company's funds to develop it. How can you say it is something from the company?"

The lawyer restrained his smile: "Mr. Yuan, the law has clear regulations on whether a work is a personal work. First of all, you also cooperated with the company's team during the initial development process. You used company resources To develop this engine. Secondly, recently, the company has begun to prepare for your development of this engine through financing, which includes a portion of the first-phase funds invested by Hongxi Capital, so that you can use the funds for subsequent development.”

Yuan Chong's face turned pale bit by bit.

"We also asked Mr. Zhao this question." The lawyer hesitated when talking about Zhao Shouyu: "He said that he always knew that you were developing this engine, and he also acquiesced in your using part of your working time to develop it. You once discussed However, you are responsible for perfecting this work, and he is responsible for attracting investors' interest. When the engine is developed, it will be invested in the game works developed by the company. From my point of view, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a legal person work Yes, it reflects Mr. Zhao's will as the company's general manager, and it is made for the business of the entire company."

"but……"

"Even if the judge does not accept it as a legal person work, it is at least a work of employment, which is developed for your work tasks. You can enjoy the copyright of the engine, but the company still has the right to use it first. If there is no company's Agree, you are also not allowed to share this engine for other units or individuals to use."

Yuan Chongru was killed by lightning.He knew that "Mirage" couldn't be taken away, but he didn't delve into the engine. He just took it for granted that it was developed privately, so it was his personal thing, and taking it away was smooth.If this engine is recognized as a work of employment, it must stay in Zhao Shouyu's company, which means that Yuan Chong will lose a heavyweight bargaining chip - this is what he used to interview with CA, and a large part of the reason why CA hired him is that For this engine, he even made a solemn promise that he would take it with him.After losing the engine, whether CA is willing to hire him may have to be questioned again.They haven't formally signed a labor contract yet, and the situation can change.

Speaking of private development, it is indeed impossible for him to complete the development work alone. He must rely on the strength of the team, so it is inevitable to use his subordinates to do some auxiliary work.He did have a conversation with Zhao Shouyu—in order to persuade Zhao Shouyu to allow him to continue development, he had to say that this engine was developed for the company, and that it would be of great help to the company's future performance.

Yuan Chong never thought that this engine would become the biggest trouble for him to leave the company.

"Just...is there no other way? This engine is very important to me, and I can't keep it in the company. I don't have many works in my hand, and this engine is only a rudimentary structure..." Yuan Chong Consult a lawyer.

The lawyer thought for a while: "Unless, you can prove that this engine is not a work made by you for work purposes. In other words, the company admits that it does not know about this matter, and it is completely made by you for private purposes. .”

Yuan Chong understood: "You mean, as long as Mr. Zhao says he doesn't know there is such a thing, he agrees to take it away?"

The lawyer nodded: "It can be said so."

Yuan Chong froze, his eyes turned black.

In the end, he was still asked to beg Zhao Shouyu.

But at this moment, seeing Zhao Shouyu again suddenly became difficult.Zhao Shouyu was discharged from the hospital and did not return to the company, as if the world had evaporated.Yuan Chong was in a hurry to meet someone, so he managed to catch Anna and ask, but Anna also shook her head and said she didn't know.Zhao Shouyu is not just a close person to her, she is only responsible for Zhao Shouyu's local itinerary, if Zhao Shouyu travels far away, it is not within her scope of responsibility.

Yuan Chong was so anxious that his mouth became blistered.

Finally, Anna couldn't bear it anymore: "I only know that he booked a plane ticket to go home. I really don't know anything else."

Yuan Chong was in a panic, like a homeless man: "Thank you, I really need that engine, I can't live without it."

He helped Anna with the decoration, and Anna reciprocated: "I've never seen Mr. Zhao like this, Brother Yuan, why don't you just give in and say something nice. Mr. Zhao... still likes you very much." .”

Yuan Chong flew overnight to a small town in the south of the Yangtze River with beautiful mountains and rivers.The two elders of Zhao's family are already semi-retired, and they bought a luxurious yard by the lake for recuperation. Yuan Chong remembered that Zhao Shouyu was full of resentment for choosing a house for the two elders for a while, and Yuan Chong mentioned the final location. Yuan Chong rummaged through the chat records of the two people's mobile phones to find the specific address.

The butler took him to the drawing room and told him to wait.After waiting for four hours, Zhao Shouyu arrived late——

"Who told you I was here? Anna?"

Yuan Chong was afraid of hurting the little girl: "I remembered that you told me that you chose the address of the house. Don't involve her."

Zhao Shouyu folded his arms and sneered: "She is my secretary, how to deal with it is my business."

Yuan Chong didn't want to quarrel with him, he came to beg for help.He lowered his head: "There is something I want to talk to you about."

"You can talk to Cao Ding about work matters. I don't have time to go back to the company for a while. He will make up his own mind."

"The lawyer said that he came to ask you, and you told him that I made the engine for the company."

Zhao Shouyu looked at him lazily: "Yes, didn't you just tell me that? I didn't lie."

Yuan Chong knew that this matter was his fault: "Can...can you let me take the engine away? I know that part of Hongxi's investment can be used on the engine, but the money hasn't come down yet, so it hasn't Use it. Besides, it's just a rudimentary structure, and it's still immature. It's useless even if you stay in the company..."

"Why is it useless? Wouldn't it be useful if I moved out of the team to continue developing it until it matures?"

"But that's what I made! From the very beginning, I was the only one who conceived..."

Zhao Shouyu showed a contemptuous expression: "Yuan Chong, there should be a limit to childishness. Without my team, without my money, without the time and platform I gave you, what do you use as an engine? I didn't make things difficult for you, I, Zhao Shouyu, Doing business, not doing charity. If you want to talk business-like, then let’s talk about business.”

He lost his patience, turned around to leave, and called the housekeeper to see off the guests.

Yuan Chong went to pull his sleeve: "Give it back to me, tell me what you want."

Zhao Shouyu pulled his hand away: "Take back your resignation letter, and I'll pretend nothing happened. Otherwise, we won't talk about it."

This is Yuan Chong's life.Yuan Chong clenched his fists: "What's the point of my staying? Why do you..."

Zhao Shouyu was indifferent: "I've said everything I need to say, and you don't have to come here again. Of course I will fight for the company's things. I am the person in charge of the company, and I have to be responsible for the company and the entire team. It's your personal things. I won't rob you, if you have any other questions, you can go to a lawyer. If you want to file a lawsuit, I will accompany you at any time."

Yuan Chong said without hesitation: "Zhao Shouyu, just because I never loved you, are you taking revenge on me like this?"

Zhao Shouyu had hatred on his face: "I revenge you? Yuan Chong, if I really embarrass you, do you think you can still stand in front of me and talk now? Do you think it is difficult for me to wear small shoes for you? I am just You can't take it without favoring you, not manipulating you? Have you ever wondered how I felt when I read that fucking resignation letter?"

"I resigned normally!"

"Fuck you, resign normally! Do you only think that you have never seriously looked at the people around you? You say that I am self-willed, and you are not selfish? Apart from your own future and happiness, have you thought about other people in your head? Put aside Not to mention personal feelings, I have relied on you for so many years, even if you have a little bit of respect and trust in me as a boss, you shouldn’t find a good job and send me a resignation letter! If you don’t like it, I’m a villain , I will avenge my private revenge, what the hell do you think you are, a good man and a faithful woman?"

Yuan Chong was so scolded that he couldn't speak.He was not good at quarreling.

Zhao Shouyu had just recovered from a serious illness, and his complexion was not good, but he stood upright and said in a steady voice, "Yes, I was attracted to you, but I never forced you to love me. All I ask for in this matter of resignation are basic respect and respect." Trust me, this request is not too much. Yuan Chong, you make my heart very cold."

Yuan Chong left Zhao's house in a daze.

There is a heavy thunderstorm outside, and cumulus clouds hang down with root-like lightning. If people can grasp this "rope" and climb up, they will desperately want to pierce through the nine heavens to see it.It's a pity that lightning can't be caught, and in the end, nothing can be caught.

All flights were grounded that night, and Yuan Chong sat at the airport all night.The thunder was too loud, and he couldn't sleep. It was a night six years ago, and he was sitting on a park bench like this, holding a stack of resumes that couldn't be cast.I was fired for nearly a year and did not find a decent job. Even though several small companies talked about the final round of interviews, as long as they made a pre-employment investigation call to the former employer, the situation changed immediately.He realized that maybe he really didn't have a chance to make games.

When Zhao Shouyu told him to come to work, he was choked with sobs, how excited and excited he was, that was the only rope that could pull him up. No expense was spared for this.What Zhao Shouyu said was right, he thought too highly of himself, he took himself too seriously, and his personal ideals too much, to the point of being unreasonable.Zhao Shouyu may be cruel, but he, Yuan Chong, is not great either.

The first job ended embarrassingly, and the second one.It is impossible to say that Yuan Chong has no responsibility at all.In the past few years of work, he is still out of touch with reality. He doesn't even pay attention to the legal copyright ownership of his works, resists social activities, and rejects dealing with investors. Even Cao Ding joked that he was spoiled.If he's just a grassroots engineer, it's fine, but how can a company's top management work behind closed doors like him?Isn't it self-inflicted?

This is not the pursuit of ideals, this is arrogance.

"Don't worry, write an email to CA and explain the whole story, I believe the other party is willing to communicate." Fu Lien comforted him: "Although the engine is also very important, the CA chooses you because of your ability. It is your core competitiveness, and it is something that others cannot take away. I will also make a call with their people to help you talk."

Yuan Chong's tone was complicated: "Senior, should I...shouldn't resign?"

Fu Lien sighed.Yuan Chong was very guilty: "You also said that it is a mature studio, all of which are masters and experts, and there is no shortage of me. Maybe I was too impulsive and lost my head when I saw an opportunity."

"It's come this far, are you going to give up before the battle?" Fu Lien asked.

Yuan Chong clasped his hands: "Zhao Shouyu trusted me and gave me such a high position, but I didn't show the same attitude to repay him. What he said made sense. It was I who mixed up public and private affairs and let private Emotion interfered with my judgment on work. He never forced me, but I did it too ruthlessly this time, and I failed him and the company.”

Fu Lien didn't answer immediately.

"I can communicate and explain to CA. However, I want to think about it seriously. Maybe it's not time for me to leave." Yuan Chong said in a low voice, "Senior, I'm really sorry."

Fu Lien was not angry: "Don't apologize to me, I respect your decision."
