Sure enough, Yao Yuan expressed his apology, added affirmation of some details in Shi Ran's document, and then turned the topic to the project and the company.
He asked Shi Ran if he knew how cruel game development is. Shi Ran humbly asked for advice, and Yao Yuan started talking non-stop.
The vast majority of games in the industry will end up failing to go online after development. This is all visible. What is invisible is that countless games die early in the development stage and have no chance of being released.
In recent years, Shengqian Network has always maintained the rhythm of parallel development of two self-research projects. However, of the two projects it did in the past three years, one was forced to terminate due to disagreements with the copyright owner of the IP used, and the other was forced to terminate due to production issues. People can't stand it when Lao Zhang always takes the R&D budget and leads the team to run away. He turns around and backstabs Lao Zhang. He reskinned the project source code and made a new game, which even achieved good results when it was launched.
The two investments yielded no returns and resulted in a net loss. The experience of feeding a tiger into trouble gave the company boss Lao Zhang a big blow. From then on, he no longer spent a lot of money to introduce IP into R&D projects, and even eliminated it from the R&D team structure. For the producer position, the company's veteran operations director will concurrently serve as the general consultant for the two R&D projects, and his rank will be directly above that of Liu Yu.
"Have you seen the director of operations?" Yao Yuan pointed in the direction of the door. "Just opposite, there is a whole big office full of their people. Their boss is called Cheng Xiuyan."
Shi Ran continued to shake her head. She didn't understand what Yao Yuan meant by talking to her so much.
"He is from Shanghai, and he takes great care of your local girls. Moreover, he is in charge of online sports games, as well as our R&D Department 2 and the Department 1 downstairs. He has his own office. It’s very powerful.”
Judging from this, Yao Yuan wanted her to defect to Cheng Xiuyan?
Although Huang Yan also suggested that Shi Ran go to the operations department, her starting point was completely different from Yao Yuan's, and Shi Ran read the hostility in Yao Yuan's eyes.
He didn't mean to make any constructive suggestions, he just wanted Shi Ran to leave the R&D Department II.
Shi Ran never thought that she would fall in love with someone as soon as she joined the job. Even now that she knew that Yao Yuan was rejecting her, she still couldn't understand how this person could harbor such great feelings for her in such a short period of time. prejudice.
"Girls, it's so easy to do business, why bother to get into the crowd of men..."
"Thank you for your guidance." Shi Ran interrupted Yao Yuan's words, shut down the phone and pulled out the USB flash drive in one smooth motion, stood up and nodded to Yao Yuan, "I'll go find Brother Yu to help me with the second trial."
Yao Yuan sneered maliciously, took off his hypocritical mask, and warned Shi Ran to change his way as soon as possible.
Shi Ran is not RMB, and she cannot ask everyone to like her. As for Yao Yuan's reasons for her, she told herself that there was really no need to analyze or change. There was no need to internally worry about him.
There will always be people, things, and things in the world that run counter to her expectations. Nine times out of ten, life will be unsatisfactory. This is the normal state of life.
Shi Ran kept an eye on Liu Yu until dinner time before he found a chance to chat. He was so sleepy that he grabbed the half-assembled Lego castle and the small cardboard box containing the building blocks, and then rushed into the conference room and lay down on the table in dejection.
Go up and ask Shi Ran to call Cheng Xiuyan. If he hadn't known the location of the operations department and Cheng Xiuyan's identity from Yao Yuan in advance, Shi Ran would have asked a few more questions. Liu Yu didn't bother to say a word at this time.
She left the R&D Department 2 in a sensible and silent manner and went to the big office of the Operations Department.
The area of the Operations Department is about the same as that of the R&D Department II, but the lights are bright. The walls are decorated with many promotional posters for basketball games. There are many display cabinets of figures placed on the walls, which are full of sports games and two-dimensional related furnishings. This is what Shi Ran imagined a game development company should be like before entering the industry.
It's a pity that next door there is only a statue of Yongzheng with an incense burner dedicated to curing the Eighth Prince, dim lights, and pale walls.
During dinner time, people in the operations department have either gotten off work or gone out to eat together, and only two people are still sitting in their seats.
Shi Ran walked to a girl who was relatively close to him. Out of politeness, he did not look at the open chat window on her computer screen. He leaned down and asked in a low voice: "Hello, where is Director Cheng?" p>
"Oh my God, you scared me to death!" The girl with shawl hair suddenly turned her head and stared at Shi Ran with wide eyes for two or three seconds before asking: "Who are you? When did you come in?"
"I'm the new plot planner from the second department of R&D. My name is Shi Ran." She smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry, I should have spoken out earlier."
"Plot plan? What a coincidence. Hey, I'm the operations copywriter." The girl suddenly regained her energy, jumped up and stared at Shi Ran carefully, "Wow, Brother Yu, you can recruit a little beauty! Hello, my name is Lin Huan.
”
Shi Ran smiled and said, "You are better looking."
Lin Huan raised his eyebrows several times, "Hoho, they all call me Feng Nu, do you know why?"
"You play League of Legends?"
"No, no, it's because I'm crazy, and when I'm crazy, I'm very crazy. It's like a funny girl doesn't have love, and a romantic girl doesn't deserve to have face. Hey." Lin Huan spread his hands, shook his head exaggeratedly and sighed, then raised his eyebrows,
"You're looking for Cheng Xiuyan, right? Liu Yu asked you to come?"
Shi Ran was tasked with inviting people to a meeting, and it was inconvenient to talk to Lin Huan. Lin Huan was also very measured and took Shi Ran to knock on the door of an office separated by a glass wall.
After getting the permission of the man inside to "please come in", Lin Huan jumped up and pulled Shi Ran in, twisted his buttocks and sat on the man's desk, "Mr. Cheng, the chief planner of the R&D Department 2 has invited me. I would like to express my solemnity."
He has sent his most beautiful planning girl over."
Shi Ran observed Cheng Xiuyan without any trace. The man was sitting upright in the chair. He was wearing a neatly ironed black shirt. One button was unbuttoned at the collar, and the cuffs on both sides were folded up on his arms. This made the clothes that should be straight
It has a somewhat relaxed and leisurely feeling.
After spending two days and one night among the men in the second department, Shi Ran could not help but compare Cheng Xiuyan with the others. This man had fair skin, hair waxed into a fluffy style, and looked like a professional elite. After Lin Huan greeted him,
, he raised his head from checking the files and faced Shi Ran, raising the corners of his mouth, "Hello?"
Shi Ran responded with a smile, "Hello, my name is Shi Ran. Brother Yu asked me to invite you over for a meeting."
"I received the new employee orientation notification email from Yan Jianqing yesterday. I thought I should go to the second department to say hello to you today, but I forgot about it when I got busy." Cheng Xiuyan closed the folder, put it on the side of the table, and stood up.
Make a gesture of invitation, "Let's go, don't keep him waiting."
When leaving the Operations Department and entering the Second R&D Department, Cheng Xiuyan would ask Shi Ran to go first at both doors, displaying his gentlemanly demeanor. Shi Ran paid attention to propriety, and although he did not waste time and Cheng Xiuyan to give way to the order of precedence, she took the lead.
After walking through the door, she would stop sideways and wait for Cheng Xiuyan to walk in front of her.
