The Creator of the Second Dimension

Ningjiang 1919 Bar Street, in a bar that looks like a restaurant.

Next to the bar, two people sat at a small table.

One of them is Liu Xueyan. He has been emaciated a lot recently. Most of the work in the activity team is busy and tedious. Compared with the previous office, he is much harder. He even joked with Zhang Ke that he had lost weight, but he was already extremely tired.

The other person was not tall and was about the same age as Liu Xueyan. He was wearing glasses and a plaid shirt. He looked honest and responsible. He seemed not used to places like bars. Another bite.

"Wu Tong, don't be nervous."

Liu Xueyan said, taking a sip of the coffee in the cup.

The two chatted one by one. At this time, a young man walked into the bar. Liu Xueyan saw him and immediately waved. The young man sat at the table and ordered a glass of soda.

"Hello, editor Liu Xueyan, who is this?"

He was Xu Rui. Xu Rui turned his gaze to another person. His gaze made the man in the plaid shirt retreat a little, but Liu Xueyan quickly patted him on the shoulder.

"This is Wu Tong, my friend who joined the company at the same time as me. He is the developer of the prototype of Tomato Video's new player. I think you can talk to him."

Hearing Liu Xueyan's words, Wu Tong touched his nose, and said with some embarrassment.

"I just wrote a framework, and the rest are supplemented by other colleagues."

Xu Rui didn't say much, and simply chatted with Wu Tong for a while. About half an hour later, Wu Tong left first and went back to work overtime.

Only Xu Rui and Liu Xueyan were left in the bar.

"Editor Liu Xueyan, have you made a decision yet?"

Xu Rui asked in confirmation.

This meeting was arranged by Liu Xueyan who called Xu Rui. Xu Rui was still a little confused at first, but after chatting, he quickly understood Liu Xueyan's thoughts.

"The tomato is no longer the tomato it was before. It may have deteriorated during the development. I still prefer the tomato that was not big, but everyone can work together towards a goal."

Liu Xueyan said with emotion that it has been a month since the exhibition, and the midsummer of August is not over yet, but Liu Xueyan feels that his career in Tomato should also come to an end.

"I submitted my resignation report yesterday, and I can pack up and leave Tomato as soon as next week."

In the past eight years, he never thought that there would be a day when he would find a personnel to submit the resignation procedures, but when that day really came, it was a bit funny.

As soon as the pretty lady from personnel affairs saw that Liu Xueyan was in the activity group, she immediately knew that he was here to resign. During the casual chat, Liu Xueyan learned that most of the activity groups were the places where some abandoned employees had last stayed. Here, it is actually the company hinting that you are leaving.

Originally, Liu Xueyan had signed a non-compete agreement, but it was learned through personnel affairs that after coming to the activity group, this agreement would not have much effect, because it meant that these people were "useless".

The resignation process was much easier than Liu Xueyan imagined, and he suddenly felt relieved.

"Wu Tong is a very good programmer, and he is very familiar with the structure of the player. He first built a personal video station that was hotlinked from Tomato. Later, it was discovered that Tomato recruited him instead of asking him to lose money. company."

Liu Xueyan looked in the direction of the door and explained.

"He didn't go to college, he only has a college diploma, he is self-taught, and he is honest, so he is very lucky to be in the company. After so many years, his salary is only more than 3,000, and he still lives in the high-tech zone. In the rented room."

"Three thousand?"

Xu Rui was a little surprised, not to mention the architect who developed Tomato's new video player, even an ordinary programmer can't have a salary of only 3,000, four or five times it would make sense. On the one hand, he wondered why Tomato He would give such a low salary to someone in such an important position. On the other hand, he also wondered why Wu Tong could stay here.

To be reasonable, if he changes jobs, it will be no problem to increase his salary by ten times.

"You know that the salary is upside down. When Wu Tong first came in, his salary was only 2,000, which was actually considered low at that time, but he himself entered the job with a crime, and he has a college diploma, so he has no right to speak."

As Liu Xueyan said, he drank the coffee in the cup in one gulp.

"When the salary was raised later, Wu Tong couldn't raise his rank because of his education. The salary of Tomato was linked to his rank. The highest technical position was P10. From P3 onwards, a bachelor's degree was required. So for so many years, Wu Tong has been They are all P2, and the salary of P2 is so much, about the same level as that of interns."

After listening to Liu Xueyan's explanation, Xu Rui had a general understanding of Wu Tong's situation.

Wu Tong has been very busy for so many years. He works from nine to nine every day, and works more than six days a week. He has no time to socialize, understand the dynamics of other people in the industry, let alone leave work and continue to take college entrance exams. The low salary makes him What's more, Wu Tong has always had an inferiority complex, thinking that Tomato didn't sue him for charity, and he didn't dare to think of quitting.

"If you want to build a video website, Wu Tong can help you save a lot of expenses and build the website faster."

Liu Xueyan said that he still used the word you instead of us, because Liu Xueyan is still thinking about it. He actually has many choices now. He can go to other websites that already have a certain scale, which can also earn a good income. An old editor like him, Regardless of his professional level, he has a lot of industry resources in his hands. If the major websites know the news of his resignation, they will definitely extend an olive branch.

However, Liu Xueyan himself is very interested in Xu Rui. He wants to witness for himself what kind of storm such a young and talented person will bring to the industry.

Xu Rui knew what Liu Xueyan was thinking, so he didn't urge him, but thought about his Wu Tong.

Although such a person is a talent, how can we make him leave Tomato?

"You don't have to worry about this. Wu Tong's father passed away before. Tomato Video Network basically didn't give him a few days off to go back to deal with it. Wu Tong felt a little grudged. I'll talk to him again, which should give him the idea of ​​leaving."

Liu Xueyan saw Xu Rui's concerns, and then changed the subject.

"It's just that even if he leaves his job, he may not necessarily go to your website. There are many places for a person like him to go. How to let him choose your Magic Electric is a question you have to consider."

His words did not only refer to Wu Tong, but also to himself.

Xu Rui nodded, he thought for a moment, and then spoke to Liu Xueyan.

"How about this, when he is sure that he is going to leave, you can ask Wu Tong to come out for me again, and I will talk to him about the video website, and editor Liu Xueyan can come with you when the time comes."

He knew that if he wanted these two experienced people to work for him, he needed to come up with something that other video sites did not have yet.
