Chapter 23 - Job Hopping

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In Four-nine Gaming Company, after Wang Fan dragged the well-fed Wang Kewen to the meeting room, the company’s boss, Zhu Yuxian, personally met him.

“Hello, Kewen. Welcome to our Four-nine Gaming Company family.”

As soon as he came up, Zhu Yuxian gave Wang Kewen a big hug, which made Wang Kewen feel flattered and valued.

“I heard from Wang Fan that you were the one who led the research and development of Jumping the Line of Fire?”

After the hug, Zhu Yuxian did not beat around the bush and asked directly.

However, at this time, Wang Kewen hesitated. Others might not know, but he understood. Jumping the Line of Fire’s plan was proposed by Xu Zhi, and the details of the plan were completed by He Wei.

Wang Kewen could say that he was the head of the research and development department, but in fact, he was just a technical executive. There was still a long way to go before he could lead the research and development.

Although he understood it in his heart, Wang Kewen thought of Real Battlefield 2 in his heart. He steeled his heart and said, “Of course. As the director of the R&D department of Dream Game Company, I was naturally the one who took charge of the development for Jumping the Line of Fire.”

“That’s good! That’s good!”

Hearing Wang Kewen’s words, the boss of Four-nine Gaming Company, Zhu Yuxian, smiled widely. He looked at Wang Kewen and nodded his head, as if he had found a treasure.

As a person who loved talent, and he met a ‘genius’ like Wang Kewen, the following matters were much simpler.

Wang Kewen’s salary was not only twice that of the Dream Game Company, but all his requirements were met. He became the vice director of the R&D department of Four-nine Gaming Company. The most important thing was that he would be in charge of the new game that was about to be developed. No one else was allowed to interfere.

Zhu Yuxian even promised Wang Kewen that when the new game became popular, he would be given a full year’s salary as a bonus.

The two of them talked for a while and even drank a cup of wine. Their relationship suddenly became as strong as that of old friends.

Wang Kewen’s working time had also been decided. It was tomorrow. As for the new game, it would be decided on the same day.

“Hey, Kewen, what do you think of our new game’s name?”

Zhu Yuxian put down his wine glass and suddenly asked.

“Name? Name… how about Exceed the Line of Fire?” Wang Kewen thought to himself that he would definitely surpass Jumping the Line of Fire when he made a game. The name ‘Exceed the Line of Fire’ was just right.

“Exceed? Okay, let’s use this word! Hahaha.”

Zhu Yuxian’s mood instantly became very happy because of Wang Kewen’s game name.

In his heart, not only did he want a game like Jumping the Line of Fire, but he also wanted to surpass the Dream Game Company. It was best to completely trample on them. Wang Kewen’s words were exactly what he wanted.

Looking at Wang Kewen, Zhu Yuxian found him more and more pleasing to the eye.

…

After saying goodbye to Zhu Yuxian, Wang Kewen walked out of the Four-nine Gaming Company’s door accompanied by Wang Fan.

“Brother, come to work tomorrow. Work hard from now on. Don’t forget your brother when you become rich in the future.” Wang Fan also knew how much Zhu Yuxian valued Wang Kewen. At this moment, facing Wang Kewen, Wang Fan’s words actually had an ingratiating meaning.

“What are you saying? Without you, I wouldn’t be here!”

After drinking a glass of wine, Wang Kewen felt like he was floating in the air.

“Alright, I’ll call a taxi to send you back. I still have some things to do today, so I can’t accompany you any longer.” After Wang Fan said that, he hailed a taxi and gave him 50 yuan for the fare.

“Brother, see you tomorrow!”

“See you tomorrow!”

Waving goodbye, Wang Fan’s heart was a little complicated. He did not expect that when Dream Game Company had launched Jumping the Line of Fire, he and a few directors were mocked them. He did not expect that when the game came online, they would be slapped in the face. Also, because of this game, Wang Kewen’s salary was doubled. Wang Fan suddenly regretted saying that he knew Wang Kewen in the meeting.

However, when he thought of Wang Kewen’s future standing in the company, with their relationship, Wang Fan felt that he was not at a disadvantage.

The taxi sent Wang Kewen home. In the Four-nine Gaming Company, Wang Kewen maintained a calm composure. However, when he reached home and closed the door, Wang Kewen jumped up and even happily did an impromptu disco dance.

In his heart, there was only one sentence, ‘Another bright future, another world to conquer!’

“My dream, my ambition, my Real Battlefield 2, has come back to life.”

Wang Kewen really wanted to shout out the window, but he thought of something else.

“No rush, no rush. I’ve been in the Dream Game Company for a few years. I have to at least write a resignation report.”

Sitting at his desk, Wang Kewen picked up a pen, tore off a page, and started writing. “I, Wang Kewen, because…”

…

Xu Zhi was in his office processing documents.

Dong dong!!

There was a knock on the door. Xu Zhi raised his head. “Please come in!”

A woman in a small apricot-yellow suit walked in. It was Gu Wenwei, the director of personnel of the company.

Previously, the revenue of the Dream Game Company had fallen. Other than handling the normal staff changes, the personnel department had no other work. They were relatively idle and did not see much of Xu Zhi.

During this period of time, not only did the new customer service department recruit a large number of people, even the original departments needed to recruit people on a small scale. The personnel department was busy working round the clock. As the director of personnel, Gu Wenwei had been reporting to Xu Zhi frequently.

“President Xu, I need to report this matter to you,” Gu Wenwei said after she came in.

Gu Wenwei was relatively delicate and pretty, and she had a kind of intellectual beauty when she dressed up. The internal department of the company called her and Huang Meng the two Golden Flowers of Dream Game Company.

“What’s the matter?” Xu Zhi stopped working and asked with a smile.

“President Xu, look.” Gu Wenwei handed a piece of paper that was obviously torn from the notebook to Xu Zhi. “Wang Kewen asked someone to give this to me today.”

“Wang Kewen?”

Xu Zhi’s interest was piqued, so he picked up the paper and looked at it.

“Hehe!” After looking at it for a while, Xu Zhi laughed. This Wang Kewen really thought of himself as a big shot. He had given him a holiday, and it had been nearly ten days. He did not think of deducting his salary, but in the end, he took the initiative to resign.

If you resign, then resign. The world will still change without you. At least come to the company to meet and tell me in person. What do you mean by giving a piece of paper to the head of personnel? Are you looking down on me?

This is a little too extreme!

However, Xu Zhi still suppressed his temper and read through Wang Kewen’s resignation letter. Wang Kewen’s handwriting filled an entire page.

In the letter, he said that he felt unhappy and depressed. He wanted to change the environment and feel sorry for the company, but there was really no way to wait. In Xu Zhi’s eyes, it was just nonsense. He had just found a new employer. What’s with the sanctimonious facade? He even wrote as if he had been wronged by the company.

“Which company did he go to?”

Xu Zhi placed his resignation letter in a book on his desk and asked.

“President Xu, I heard from a friend that he went to the Four-nine Gaming Company. He just got his new position today. He’s the vice director of the research and development department.”

“Amazing. He just handed in his resignation letter today and he joined a new company on the same day. This speed is really incomparable.” After saying that, Xu Zhi turned his gaze to the file cabinet in his office, deep in thought. Suddenly, he thought of something..
