To ascend, I had no choice but to create games

Outsourcing of work was no small matter.

On the one hand, it involved professional deception; on the other hand, casually leaking the company’s data could allow others to grasp the studio’s intentions and make targeted arrangements.

The data this time was not confidential, but as things continued this way, it was inevitable that core secrets would eventually be touched upon and leaked. Therefore, this person could not stay.

Qu Fangfang had originally thought she could just coast through the small studio, swindle a year’s salary, and run, but she didn’t expect the other party to expose her deceit so plainly with a retaliatory slap, triggering a torrent of panic within her.

But what she feared was not over yet.

While she was handling her resignation, Xu Qingling brought over a piece of paper.

Glancing suspiciously at the paper, her pupils shrank rapidly, and her shoulders started to tremble again.

Written plainly on the paper were the fabricated parts of her resume, the true origins of various operational examples, and more.

Even the reason for her departure from her previous company had been investigated—it was embezzling operational funds for chasing celebrities with a higher-up, and after being discovered, thanks to some connections with her father, she was simply let off by returning the funds and resigning.

Mr. Shen probably didn’tknow about this; otherwise, he wouldn’t have introduced her to the job.

The piece of paper was like a demon-revealing mirror, plainly reflecting the seemingly impeccable but ultimately empty Qu Fangfang.

There were some things she had forgotten herself, yet the other party could dig them all out in meticulous detail within a day-the hidden power behind it sent chills down Qu Fangfang’s spine.

“Miss Qu, our studio reserves the right to pursue legal action against you for falsifying your resume, and I have one last piece of advice for you…” Qu Fangfang had expected Xu Qingling to issue some banal warning like “Don’t engage in sneaky tricks,” butXu Qingling’s smile had already faded away as she spoke slowly yet firmly, “You’d better leave Rong City. I don’t want to see you again.”

Having seen the dispirited Qu Fangfang off, Xu Qingling was certain that this would be their last encounter.

After dealing with Qu Fangfang, she flexed her fingers and then called in Wang Xiaoying.???????????????????????????? ⁶

Handing over the company code of conduct and the probationary contract Xu Qingling asked, “Take a look, and do you have any other questions?”

Wang Xiaoying didn’t immediately read through the documents but hesitated and asked, “Miss Xu, is it really okay for you to let me join?”

Xu Qingling quickly understood her worries-that she had a senpai-kohai relationship with Qu Fangfang.

Even though she had been deceived before, the fact remained that she assisted Qu Fangfang in fabricating falsehoods. Such a person might bring some trouble not handled well, and some companies would be reluctant to hire her.

But who was Xu Qingling?

It would be a favor if she didn’t cause trouble for others.

Smiling, she shook her head and told Wang Xiaoying, “You wrote a very impressive operational plan, and your teachers at school think highly of you, so I believe you can do the job. Start your internship tomorrow.”

“What about… the boss?”

“He said to leave it to me. He only handles game development; I can manage all other matters.”

Glancing at the beautiful but capable Xu Qingling, sensing the trust between her and Fang Cheng Studio, WangXiaoying felt this could be a good place. Moreover, after seeing the salary for the probation period, she knew she had made the right choice!

However, back in her dorm room at school, she was engulfed by anxiety once more.

A high salary meant high expectations-thirty-six thousand a month, with commissions on top. It was something that even veterans who had worked for years would not come across.

Kept awake by the high salary, Wang Xiaoying simply got up, started searching for information about Fang Cheng Studio, and began taking notes.

At the same time, she asked on Bihu, “My salary during the internship period is thirty-six thousand. What should I pay attention to?”

Responses: [Not too shabby, barely makes the boss look human.]

[I also earn thirty-six thousand, but it feels like I can’t even afford rent.]

“[I’m even worse off, I have to pay the hospital.]”

“[Same here, I dream of being a glorious taxpayer but don’t even qualify.]” After reading for a while, Wang Xiaoying felt that people these days really had money, truly worthy of BiHu with its average millionaire users.

But then she realized a problem and revised her question description, “What should I be aware of with a monthly intern salary of 36,000?”

Reply: “[… is this in Zimbabwe?]”

” [36,000 is nothing, I made 360,000 right after graduation, the company provided a car, all of us are Ultramen come from the M76 Nebula, teleporting from our company villas to the office in just one second. Too bad today’s wages only buy two ounces of booze, or else I could keep boasting.]”

[I don’t think it’s a big deal, I also made over 30,000 after graduation and the company benefits are especially good; they even took us on a trip to a small country m the south today. Got to go now, I hear knocking at the door, it must be…]”

“[Done for, caught by the YaoGuai]”

A flood of answers switched from lamenting to mocking in the blink of an eye, a true magical competition of the internet, making one marvel at the online world’s brilliance.

Although nearly all the answers were unreliable, and reliable answers were almost nonexistent, there were still a few somewhat useful responses. “[High salary means high obligations. Such a high amount during an internship means it ‘ll only increase later. If I were you, I’d get to the company early every day to serve tea and wipe the floor until it sparkles.]”

“[If I earned that much, the boss would be my reborn parents, and the company would be my home!]”

“[Those are your parents? Don’t even think about stealing my parents!]”

Taking note of some small tips, Wang Xiaoying continued searching for material on Fang Cheng Studio, eager to understand the studio’s style as soon as possible.

The next day, with dark circles under her eyes, Wang Xiaoying scanned the QR code for a shared bike and yawned her way toward the studio.

Although Xu Qingling had emphasized yesterday that the office opens at 930 am, not to come early, and lateness was acceptable, Wang Xiaoying knew that many companies might appear liberal on the surface but the boss spends all dav eyeing the attendance machine.

Therefore, she arrived half an hour early at the studio, ready to pour tea for everyone to make a good impression, only to find the door was not even open. Hmm… What’s going on?

At 9:25, she finally saw the studio’s boss Fang Cheng arriving on time, with the coincidentally there” Xu Qingling by his side; the two exchanged cat-keeping tips while walking towards the studio.

Rushing to greet them, Wang Xiaoying hurried into the studio, just about to start making tea, when she noticed that Fang Cheng had already prepared a pot of tea, handing one cup to Xu Qingling and another to her.

“This is a new variety I’ve just acquired; I thinkit tastes quite good, you guys help me try it.”?????????????????? ^{6 J}

Fang Cheng took the first sip, found the flavor refreshing and pleasant, a real rarity from recent times.

Holding the cup of tea, Wang Xiaoying grew even more nervous.

Shouldn’t this kind of task be given to an intern?!

Boss, you’re way too approachable!

Sitting nervously at her desk, she saw the big brother across the way come over and say warmly: “Wang Xiaoying, I’m the lead planner here, Huang Ping this is Xiao Du from damage calculation, and Chen Liang from execution. Planning and operations have a close relationship; we’ll have to interact more.” “Oh, okay,” WangXiaoying replied hastily, “It’s my first day at work, and I don’t know anything, what should I do?”

This eager-to-leam attitude impressed Huang Ping.

Especially compared with Qu Fangfang, this attitude was even more precious.

So, Huang Ping set up SVN for Wang Xiaoying, then pointing to the studio’s games, he said, “Start by playing games.”

“Huh?”

“These are all our company’s games. You play them first, then tell me your thoughts afterward.”

“Really?”

And so, with a puzzled face, Wang Xiaoying began her days of playing games on the company’s dime.

Is this place heaven?
