Lingjing Media, the game department of "Hello Heart".
"Miss Duan, this will be your work station from now on. If you need anything, please feel free to tell me."
After the HR girl left, Duan Xiaoyi opened her mouth wide and stroked the off-white ergonomic chair in front of her with an exaggerated expression.
On the spotless white desk, monitors, notebooks, keyboards and mice are neatly placed with a complete set of brand-new e-sports equipment. Even all the wiring is hidden, making it look so clean and tidy...
At a glance... Aofeng, HKC, Razer, MSI Titan...
This, this, this... this set can't be played for more than 100,000 yuan, right?
And such a long desk, it must be at least four meters, right?
The spacious game department office area is extremely bright, with the Suzhou River looking out of the floor-to-ceiling windows. There is also a fitness area and snack area next to it, and there is a billiards room next door.
There are only a dozen workstations in an office area of several hundred square meters.
Compared with here, the e-sports club she stayed in before was just like a slum. It was a dirty mess!
Duan Xiaoyi had only seen such high-end office areas in TV videos from international companies such as Bone Song and Must Die.
This per capita usage area... stands out like a trench!
"Hello, are you a new employee?"
While Duan Xiaoyi was still immersed in the office environment of the new company, several old employees in the office also noticed the new members here.
There are very few girls working in IT.
At this time, a cute girl with a hot body and fair skin suddenly broke into a group of monks in a temple with many monks and few flesh. You can imagine the attention it attracted.
Not to mention that Duan Xiaoyi is as good looking as her brother and can fight as well!
"Welcome to join, I am the game programmer of the department." A young man with a slightly higher hairline showed a smile that he thought was very charming.
"Hello, I'm the game designer here."
"I'm in charge of art and sound effects."
"I'm a content designer."
"..."
Several colleagues introduced each other, and Duan Xiaoyi greeted them one by one, and found that the entire team was very young, with an average age under thirty.
After a few men showed off intentionally or unintentionally, she discovered that almost all of the "colleagues" in front of her came from prestigious schools.
Basically, Double One is not as good as a dog. Turtles are everywhere. They either have experience in big companies or have outstanding achievements in the game industry...
This made Duan Xiaoyi, who was an ordinary college graduate...and still an undergraduate, suddenly feel a lot of pressure.
"Well... I don't know what I'm specifically responsible for yet."
She had some social fears and really didn't know how to introduce herself.
The programmer looked at the nameplate on the table beside him.
"You should be a game experiencer, right? It's written on it."
"Ah? Really?"
Duan Xiaoyi then discovered that everyone had a nameplate placed on their workstation with their position written on it.
"It's strange. Before we were recruited, HR talked to us about the specific positions. Why didn't you?"
A girl with short hair and an average appearance asked, looking at Duan Xiaoyi with a somewhat hostile look.
"Uh..." Duan Xiaoyi was suddenly embarrassed.
Can she say she came in through the back door?
She didn't go through an interview at all. She was called to work after a brief chat with HR on the phone. It went so well that even she was a little confused.
Looking at the nameplate on the table, she had a strange feeling. This "game experiencer"...could it be tailor-made for her...
After all, the department has just been established, and it doesn’t even have a serious game. How can she, a game experiencer, be recruited to experience it now...
Besides playing games, I know nothing about game production.
Apart from "experience", it seems that she can't do anything else...
The mood is a bit complicated.
Didn’t you expect that one day you would be able to enjoy the special treatment of “get the carrot first and dig the hole later”?
"I don't think I've seen you before on the day of the interview. Which group are you in?"
"As a game experiencer at such a young age, you should be very famous in the industry, right?"
The one with the gun and the stick is still the short-haired female colleague.
Originally, before Duan Xiaoyi came, she was the one who belonged to the group of stars, and was a proper group favorite in this monk's temple.
But now, she felt a strong threat.
The conflict between women is sometimes so simple...
"Hey! What's this? There are a lot of weird things happening in our department.
The game planning book is completely blank, so I decided to come up with a name first.”
"Who says it's not? I just gave it an 'open world adventure' game positioning and left everything else to your own devices.
It’s really open enough…”
"Perhaps the company is testing us, giving us a title and asking us to answer on a blank paper. This is to give full play to our respective talents."
"Hmm..."Henghuaxin", judging from the name, could it be one of the more popular apocalyptic fighting games on the market?"
"Maybe it's a civilized war type. After all, there is no construction. Where did the collapse come from?"
"I think it should be a simulated city game. I heard that Bai Yeji's team seems to be developing a large-scale city model."
"I think it should be a love adventure game. At the end of the game, the mentality collapses, and the hatchet turns black..."
"Ha ha!"
Seemingly sensing Duan Xiaoyi's embarrassment, the flower protectors joked and changed the subject.
But anyone with a discerning eye can see that Duan Xiaoyi's entry process seems to be different from theirs.
"Game experience engineer", this kind of position is, to put it bluntly, dispensable.
After all, everyone here has a background in the game industry. How many of them don’t have rich game experience? Do they have to dig another hole to fill the carrot?
Do you think the five insurances and one housing fund paid are too little?
Some people are already speculating about Duan Xiaoyi's background, and some are even more malicious, speculating whether the girl got into the company through unspoken workplace rules...
"Xiaoyi!" At this moment, a very familiar voice suddenly came from the door.
Everyone turned around and saw a handsome man in a casual suit standing at the door.
Before anyone arrives, the feeling of threat is coming!
Could it be that someone got there first?
However, Duan Xiaoyi's next words made the men present breathe a sigh of relief.
"Brother, why are you here?"
"It's your first day at work, can't I come and see you?" Duan Xian walked up to everyone with a smile and greeted the people around him in a friendly manner.
"You are Xiaoyi's colleagues, right? My sister has little experience, so I have to ask you to take more care of me in the future."
"It turns out he's Xiaoyi's brother. Nice to meet you! But the access control on this floor seems to prohibit ordinary visitors, right? Are you also from Lingjing Media?"
"Haha! Yes, my studio is upstairs. If you don't have anything to do, you can go up and visit me."
"Upstairs...studio?"
Before anyone understood what it meant, the short-haired girl suddenly pointed at Duan Xian with excitement.
"You...you...you are Xiaoxian?!"
Xiaoxian? A bunch of game geeks are confused.
Your moon, the one in my heart?
The girl with short hair reminded excitedly, "Teacher Xiaoxian! Lin Zhendong, the only signed artist of Lingjing Media, the second male lead in Fei Chi Life!"
With this reminder, someone finally recognized Duan Xian.
"Yes! Why does it look so familiar? I just watched that movie."
"Oh~" Everyone suddenly realized.
It turns out that he is a star and the only artist signed by Lingjing Media...
Wait! The only artist?
What about the relationship with the senior management of Lingjing Media? No wonder Duan Xiaoyi was able to get in without an interview.
This is a related account of a related account!
"Xiao...Teacher Xiaoxian, can you sign your autograph for me? I am your fan!
I...I actually applied for the job because I knew you were a contracted artist of Lingjing Media..."
The short-haired girl handed over a small notebook with a shy look.
Comrade Programmer also reacted and lifted his clothes.
"Teacher Xiaoxian, I actually recognized you just now, but I was just too excited. Can you also sign your name for me? Just sign it here, my abdominal muscles."
With his good looks and background, if he could win over Duan Xiaoyi, wouldn't he save twenty years of hard work?
So why don't you quickly fawn over your uncle?
Others also reacted one after another.
"That's right, Teacher Xiaoxian, I've watched several of your movies! Your acting skills are really incredible!"
"Yes, yes, Lao Shi, every one of your works is my treasure!"
Duan Xiaoxian was speechless.
I just acted in one play, where did "several plays" come from?
And that "Brother Zhenzhu", what you said may easily cause misunderstanding!
Just when the "eldest brother-in-law" was surrounded by a group of technical geeks and a teacher, the short-haired girl approached the "sister-in-law" with enthusiasm.
"Xiaoyi, I really didn't expect that you are Teacher Xiaoxian's sister. If you don't understand anything in the future, just come and ask my sister.
By the way, you haven’t joined the group yet, have you? Come on, come on, I’ll sweep you off!”
Somewhat speechless, I took out the QR code and watched the short-haired girl who looked hostile just now run away happily as if she had found a treasure...
On the other side, after finally dealing with chasing girls... Oh no, at the scene of chasing stars, Duan Xian was pulled to the door by his old girl and scolded.
"Brother! It's okay. Why are you running here?"
"Am I not here to support you because I'm afraid someone will bully you?"
"But if you do this, no one will bully me, but won't I really become a related household?"
"Uh... aren't you?"
Duan Xiaoyi: "..."
She bit her little tiger teeth and glanced at the bright workspace that was "incompatible" with her identity.
"Brother, I think I still can't pass the test in my heart.
I don't want to be stared at in that strange way by everyone. I always feel uncomfortable staying here.
You know, growing up, what I hate the most are people who take advantage of connections and go through the back door. I don’t want to become the person I hate the most.
So I decided...I want to resign!"
"Resign...resign?!" Duan Xian was immediately confused.
"No, you haven't even completed the entry procedures. Are you resigning?"
"That makes it easier, I can just carry my bag and leave!"
"No, don't be impulsive. You know how much your brother owes you for this opportunity!"
"Then I can't accept it any more. I'm being courteous for nothing. What if the sponsor you mentioned has other plans for me?
First, he helped to deal with the second generation of rich people, and then he dug a carrot hole for me...
You said that if I really accept it, will I obey it or not?"
"Then you can't...Hey! Listen to me..."
Duan Xiaoyi made up her mind, and regardless of Duan Xian's advice, she walked straight back to her work station to pick up her bag and leave. Unexpectedly, she happened to meet the HR lady who came to see her.
"Ms. Duan, I'm looking for you. Here, this is your labor contract. Please focus on the salary column. If you have no problem, just sign here."
"I……"
Duan Xiaoyi was about to say sorry, but as soon as he glanced at her, his eyes immediately straightened.
This...this, this,this...how many zeros are this?!
"Huh? What's wrong with you?"
"Huh? Oh! I mean, I have no problem at all!"
"Swish, swish, swish!"
Looking at Duan Xiaoyi who signed his name with a swipe of a pen, Duan Xian saw a black line on his forehead.
"Why don't you say goodbye? Didn't you just say you were worried that the sponsor was plotting against you?"
"Ahem! Then I thought about it, isn't it human nature for a man to see a beautiful girl like me and plot something evil?
Since everyone is sincerely planning something evil, I have to give them some chance.
Don’t you often tell me that when you are a good person, you should leave a thin line so that we can meet each other easily in the future?”
Duan Xian: "..."
"Then you said you can't stand other people's discriminatory looks and you feel uncomfortable here?"
"Ding~" Duan Xiaoyi was about to speak when a notification tone suddenly came from her phone.
She picked it up and saw that it was the girl with short hair who was trying to get her to join the group.
She immediately agreed without hesitation.
[Ding~ You have joined the "Love Sisters Group"! ]
"Discrimination? It's nothing! Look, the colleagues here are warm and friendly, and they speak nicely. I like it here very much!"
