The huge gap suddenly made Shi Ran feel depressed. She could not ignore the grievances that emerged in her heart - she had only worked for more than half a year, why did Yang Cheng ask her such unrealistic questions?
And why did she deny it so hastily after hearing the question of whether she was qualified to be the chief planner? Where did she fall short?
Shi Ran had the idea of asking Liu Yu again, opened WeChat, skipped the meaningless pleasantries, and asked the question directly.
[Hey, you really want to challenge the chief planner?] Liu Yu expressed shock, [Are you very brave?]
At this moment, Shi Ran was completely distracted by Yang Cheng's irrelevant question, and she looked over with a look of anger in her eyes.
After a few minutes, Liu Yu replied: [If you want to do your job well, you must first sharpen your tools. I'm busy, so don't cue before the weekend.]
Shi Ran thought about it for a long time. Liu Yu's words meant that she should be fully prepared and not rush in hastily when she had only half-knowledge. That would only lead to failure and failure.
During the two days on the weekend, I just didn’t think about food or tea, and spent the next two days in retreat trying to get the essence of the card game.
The scene where Yang Cheng asked Shi Ran if she could take the initiative became her inner demon.
Shi Ran thought: Maybe Liu Yu also thought I could do it, so he asked me to make sufficient preparations?
She uncovered the systems and gameplay of several related cases, wrote back-end documents to analyze the design ideas of those games, and even tried to describe their layer-by-layer frameworks.
On Sunday night, Shi Ran felt like he was waking up from a big dream. What should Yang Cheng and the main planners at the grassroots level do?
To make the concept concrete, take out the majestic architectural blueprint that only exists in Yang Cheng's mind, draw it, lay the foundation, burn the bricks, stack, calibrate, raise the height, and cap the building, so that it is consistent with the blueprint and stands solidly on the
surface.
Shi Ran also has a clearer understanding of the gap between his current level and the master planning level.
She couldn't even extract the blueprint from Yang Cheng's mind. How to draw the design? How high is the building? She couldn't see clearly, let alone how to lay the foundation to support the skyscraper above.
Shi Ran and Zhu Zhizhi can only do the "labor work" of firing bricks, stacking them, and raising the walls. Even the calibration during construction and the revision of the blueprint are probably not something they can do.
If a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools. Where does this tool start?
After really digging into it and thinking about it, Shi Ran realized that she was still too immature and wanted to fly in her toddler stage. Fortunately, she didn't blindly try it in the air, otherwise she would definitely fall and get bruised and swollen.
After awakening, Shi Ran was no longer confused or melancholy.
Her answer during the conversation with Yang Cheng was correct. She is not the one to make the final plans now.
However, it was not without gain after all this hard work. She knew how many shortcomings she had, so that she could ensure calmness and clarity from the eyes to the heart in the future.
The chief planner must join the job as soon as possible, otherwise the person who will suffer the most is Yang Cheng. He is struggling and cannot be assigned any tasks or carry out any work. In contrast, Shi Ran and the others were running around like headless flies before. In fact, it was just a small problem.
No wonder Yang Cheng turned a blind eye.
At twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, Shi Ran took a shower and prepared to go to bed. Liu Yu sent a WeChat message, "If you haven't figured it out by now, I will give you another lesson. When will the Lesson come? You, in another year and a half." Yes, you have followed a project from beginning to end, so you should worry about the things that the main planner should worry about. I am not trying to criticize you. You are really not good at it now. It is impossible to challenge you with all your strength. You are just too full to hold up. Add trouble to yourself.]
Shi Ran had no choice but to follow Liu Yu's trick of first being polite and then being direct. He gave her a death smile and continued typing.
[Aren’t you afraid that I will go astray by saying that? You should just say: ‘Don’t take the porcelain job without diamonds’. I was almost tempted by the words “chief planner” and your ambiguous encouragement. 】
The current Shi Ran and Liu Yu in the prosperous stage are separated by thousands of rivers and mountains. Liu Yu should know this best, but he changed his venomous tongue in the past and actually went around in such a big circle that he almost destroyed Shi Ran's CPU. It was burned dry.
After Liu Yu sent a series of death smile emoticons, Shi Ran rolled her eyes at him.
Liu Yu sent a hand-spreading emoji, [The auspicious time has come, suitable for sleeping. get out of class is over.]
Shi Ran put down her cell phone dumbfounded. Her mood returned to peace, and she thought she should be able to have a good sleep.
Shi Rancai met Zheng Yongchun again on Monday morning.
As the project manager assigned by the PMO to Yang Cheng Studio, Zheng Yongchun's frequency of showing up at the studio was unreasonably low. In addition, the monthly development plan that was issued at the beginning of the month was dragged into the second week. Shi Ran was inevitably suspicious. Zheng Yongchun’s professionalism.
While standing around the big whiteboard for a meeting, Jiang Lan complained: "Manager Zheng, you, the essence of agile development management, are you now in the stand-up meeting?"
"You are all sluggish while you are standing. How about asking you to sit down?" Zheng Yongchun patted the three questions on the whiteboard and said, "Let's talk about them one by one, starting with Lin Feng."
The three questions on the whiteboard look like they have been written for a while.
What did I do last week?
What am I going to do this week?
What problems did I encounter at work?
Lin Feng, on behalf of the art group, summarized the work of the group in simple terms.
Last week I released CG art materials for the demo, a new character and a new monster. Because currently there is only Qian Mile as a modeler and Qian Miguo as an animator. Lin Feng can only make a universal brick. Wherever it needs to go Yes, he himself is responsible for the special effects production in the past two weeks. The original artist Ye Xiaopeng finished drawing the above-mentioned characters and monsters last Monday, and is currently working with Lin Feng to create the graphics needed for the special effects.
The art team encountered no problems during its work and did not need PM coordination and help.
The program team was represented by Jiang Lan, who spoke on behalf of the program group. She and Ma Xuewen contacted the Four Heavenly Kings last week to discuss the pre-update content of the Qihang engine V9 version. Today they will officially receive the new version of the engine package, and the update will be officially launched.
Regarding problems at work, Jiang Lan said: "I can't help you even if I tell you, so I won't talk about it."
Zheng Yongchun was unconvinced, "If you don't tell me, how do you know if I can help? Tell me quickly."
Jiang Lan pouted, "Well, the problem is that the Four Heavenly Kings haven't written the update instructions for the V9 version yet. Da Xian'er said that their team must first publish an instruction manual in English and then translate it into Chinese. It will take at least half a month.
It will take some time to give me the document. Manager Zheng, if you really want to help, go and translate it for me?"
Zheng Yongchun probably didn’t have that high level of English proficiency, so he retorted: “Can’t you and Ma Xuewen read the English version of the document?”
"That's another price." Jiang Lan spread her hands, "If we are so good at English, why don't we go to Ubisoft? Wouldn't it be nice to make "Assassin's Creed"?"
Jiang Lan has a very bright personality and does not hide her truest thoughts when speaking.
Zheng Yongchun could only stare at her, "After the morning meeting, I will go to the IT department to ask them about the situation. It is too slow to issue the instructions in half a month."
"It's almost done, Manager Zheng." Jiang Lan gestured provocatively at Zheng Yongchun, "I'm waiting for your good news."
