entertainment threesome

The escalator climbs smoothly.

Liu Kewei, wearing a T-shirt and board shorts, stood on a crowded escalator. Most of the people around him were middle-aged women pushing shopping carts. This guy with dyed brown curly hair and his hands in his pockets looked so out of place.

He has been shopping up and down this supermarket several times, and he is a little impatient.

Because I can’t think of anything to buy as a gift.

HR manager Bing Feng sent him a text message in the morning, saying that it was his birthday today and that he would have a get-together in their dormitory in the evening. In addition to Cao System and She Guanquan, Manager Wang would also come over.

The subtext is that there are no outsiders, they are all old colleagues who have joined the "Jinlu" company in Xiamen and participated in the research and development of the "Sui and Tang Fengyun Record Online". That is, Che Guanglong once said that Holy Grail Studio

An internal gathering of the most influential circles.

I deliberately used text messages to notify, presumably because I don’t want to invite people to the company publicly. After all, in a team that has just been formed and has not yet gone through the running-in period, it will be taboo for others to form a small group in a big way, so it is so low-key.

deal with.

There is no problem with celebrating birthdays, and there is no problem with eating. The question is what gift to give? Liu Kewei has been worrying about this for almost a whole day. If the person is a girl, then it would be appropriate to give some perfume, cosmetics, etc., but the person is a

An HR manager who doesn't smoke and only drinks on social occasions and has no bad habits will have a hard time giving something suitable.

Give him clothes? I don’t know his size; give him brand-name cigarettes, alcohol and lighters? I’m not a good person; give some decorations or something? It seems not practical enough; give fruits and cakes? Isn’t it too casual... I really can’t think of a plan.

I had no choice but to come to E-Mart and have a look around, maybe I'd be able to find some suitable gifts.

So he visited the food section on the first floor, the daily necessities section on the second floor, the clothing section on the third floor, and the home appliances section on the fourth floor of this large supermarket two or three times, but he still had no idea.

In the end, he had to choose the least creative male gift - a mid-range electric razor.

Holding the razor box in his hand, Liu Kewei walked out of the supermarket after paying at the cashier. Seeing that it was already lunch time, he sped up and rushed to the apartment rented by Manager Bing and his family.

Fortunately, the supermarket was only a few hundred meters away from that community. Ten minutes later, he knocked on the door of the apartment shared by Manager Bing, Cao System and She Guanka.

Bing Feng opened the door for him, and he casually handed the razor to Bing Feng, said happy birthday, and walked straight into the house in a casual manner.

The smell of cooking came from the kitchen. Liu Kewei sniffed and walked over to take a look. Bing Feng's girlfriend and She Guan'an's girlfriend were busy cutting and stir-frying.

"Sister Lin, Xiaolan, thank you for your hard work. What delicious food have you prepared? It's so delicious..." Liu Kewei smiled and looked like he was salivating.

They didn't even have time to raise their heads, they just nodded and waved, said hello, and then continued their work.

"Don't make trouble here, go play with Lao Cao, Xiaoshe and the others!" Bing Feng pulled him out of the kitchen.

So Liu Kewei was pushed by Bing Feng to go to Cao System's room. Cao System was playing World of Warcraft with headphones on. She Guangui was sitting on the side watching. Liu Kewei went over to join them, and kept talking to Cao System.

The operating techniques are mainly sarcastic and ridiculing.

Not long after, another person came into the room. He was tall and burly, with a face as graceful as rain, but his hair was only a short stubble that had grown out just a few days after being shaved. His entire physique was

, the looks and hairstyles are in three completely different styles, full of contrasts and conflicts.

Seeing this man sitting on the only single sofa in the room with a gentle smile, Cao System immediately closed the game, and the three of them stood up together and greeted: "Manager Wang, you are here."

"Sit down, don't be so polite," Manager Wang casually touched the stubble on the top of his head, "I haven't sat with you for a long time. Sometimes I miss Xiamen."

The three of them smiled and sat down beside the bed, just like the students in front of the class teacher.

Speaking of which, Manager Wang can be regarded as the person who led them into the industry and taught them how to make games step by step. He is not just a boss, it is not an exaggeration to call him a teacher. Moreover, the three of them also followed this former master.

He left his former company and came to Hangzhou. So it’s not surprising that he acted a little reserved in front of him.

"How's the planning department doing lately?" Manager Wang asked straight to the point, "Is everything you're doing going smoothly?"

"It's all good..."

“It went very well.”

"No problem."

The three of them answered one after another.

"What about the work situation of other departments? Didn't I tell you to run around with programming and art when you have time? You will understand more or less. Let's talk about it." Manager Wang encouraged the three of them.

The three of them looked at each other, and finally Cao System and She Guanguan looked at each other and asked Liu Kewei to answer.

"Everything seems to be normal at the moment. There are a lot of new people on the program side, and their work is being assigned. Some fresh graduates seem to be struggling, and they probably won't last long." Liu Kewei said thoughtfully, "The art side is making sure.

Style, we haven’t hired people on a large scale yet, so progress will be slower.”

"The art problem is not big, you should pay more attention to the program." Manager Wang put his right hand on his knee and tapped his fingers in turn, "Art cannot determine the life or death of a project. The quality of style is nothing more than the expression of details.

If the results are not good, it doesn't matter if you replace all the people. If you don't have enough time, you can temporarily find an outsourcer. But if there is a problem with the program, it will be a big deal, and it is inconvenient to replace people. Handover of code-related matters is too troublesome.

There is no way to outsource it to others. Among the ten games that failed in development, eight of them had problems with programming."

"Yes, we know." Liu Kewei nodded, and then tentatively put forward his own opinion, "But we can't just go to the program and look at their code, right? Whether there is a problem or not, we won't know until the test server is set up. But

Aren't Li Zhucheng and Gong Zhucheng your old friends? You should be aware of their strength."

"After all, we have never worked together before, although we have known each other for many years." Manager Wang shook his head gently and said, "So I have confidence in them, but I am not sure. If I were still the chief planner and could control the progress of R&D, I would still feel confident.

I will be more practical. But now this part of the work has been handed over to Lao Xu. I am just a project manager sitting in the office and listening to the report signed and sealed. If I stretch my hand too far, I am afraid of what he will think."

"Don't you and Chief Xu have an old friendship for seven or eight years? He won't misunderstand you for this trivial matter, right?" Liu Kewei asked cautiously.

"Old Xu has abilities and rich experience, but he can be very stubborn on some things. Since he is the chief planner, we still have to take care of his emotions." Manager Wang made a face cheerfully, as if thinking

Close the distance between each other, "Just kidding, you all know that people who deal with numerical values ​​are usually more cautious."

Liu Kewei curled his lips slightly, as if to say that your words are not necessarily just a joke.

After noticing his expression, Manager Wang was slightly startled.

"You should also be considerate to Lao Xu. There are currently five people in the planning department. I brought you three from Xiamen. Only the new copywriter was recruited by Lao Xu himself. As a chief planner, even the staff in his own department

Most of the employees can't control it, and it's quite hard for him."

"The planning department will definitely recruit more people, right?" Liu Kewei retorted unwillingly, "When the time comes, more than ten or twenty planners will sit in the company, and the three of us will be inconspicuous among the crowd. What else does Xu Zhuce have?

So worried.”

Manager Wang shook his head and said: "It's different. You three must have different plans from those who will be recruited in the future. You must be in charge of the checkpoint system. Unless there are big mistakes in your work, Lao Xu will never let the newcomers come in.

Beyond you, this is not only your face, but also mine and Xiao Bing’s face, so Lao Xu won’t be so incompetent.”

Liu Kewei nodded speechless.

"So you should keep a low profile in the company, especially in the planning department, and take the initiative to cooperate with the work. Don't take care of things that shouldn't be taken care of, leaving some room for Lao Xu." Manager Wang continued, "You have to complete the checkpoints and

The system will do. Don’t cross the line between numerical values ​​and copywriting, otherwise Lao Xu might think that I want to oust him in the planning department, do you understand?"

After hearing the last sentence, Liu Kewei was stunned, rolled his eyes twice, and looked hesitant.

"What, what's wrong?" Manager Wang keenly caught Liu Kewei's abnormality.

Liu Kewei turned his head to look at Cao System and then at She Guangua. Both of them looked a little embarrassed.

"It seems... the copywriter and planner are a bit close to our brothers. They often eat together and so on. But he has a very cold relationship with Chief Xu." Liu Kewei muttered.

Manager Wang blinked and his expression froze for a moment.

Just at this time, Bing Feng came in to announce that dinner was about to begin, and everyone temporarily stopped talking and went to sit down at the big round table in the living room.

After the meal, Manager Wang motioned for Bing Feng to follow him to the balcony.

"Xiao Bing, there may be some problems with the planning department." Manager Wang leaned on the railing and looked at the night view of the market. "The new copywriter may be too close to Old Liu and the others. I'm worried about whether Old Xu will

think."

Bing Feng thought for a while and asked: "You mean he feels that he can't control the planning department?"

Manager Wang nodded and did not answer.

"Then just recruit a few more planners for him and that'll be it." Bing Feng said nonchalantly, "Actually, Chief Xu has such a temperament that he doesn't want to get close to strangers. At least eight out of ten people will not be able to get close to him, so the main thing is

It’s still his own problem.”

"That's not possible. Now is not the stage for large-scale recruitment of planners. The program side has not adjusted well. Why not recruit a bunch of planners to come in and have nothing to do? Now the five jobs given by the planners cannot be arranged by the program side.

Manager Wang shook his head and refused, "We have to find a way to appease him first, and don't let him think we are trying to trick him."

Bing Feng scratched his forehead and asked: "What do you mean..."

"Isn't Lao Xu still single?" Manager Wang thought for a long time, and finally came up with an idea, "You take the lead and invite a few young girls in the company who have no partners, and invite Lao Xu and Lao Gong to sing.

k, just think of it as a friendship. After the atmosphere is established, you find an opportunity to talk to Lao Xu in private. We are looking forward to his work. Then ask him if he has any plans that need the company's support. At least let him see us.

Respect and value him."

"If you ask me to do this kind of thing again, will there be overtime pay?" Bing Feng joked with a playful smile, "How about we choose a beautiful female planner for him, and then arrange it in the planning department and let him handle it by himself."

"If you just recruit a girl, I won't object," Manager Wang said decisively, "You will be responsible for it, and we will work on both sides."
