Chapter 83: The Gap Between the Internet and the Reality
agreed with the other party, and Meng Xiaobai went to Pengcheng.
On Thursday, at half past eleven o'clock at noon, the two agreed on the place, at the entrance of a shopping mall.
"Are you there? I'm already there?" asked Matsuko.
"It's here, I didn't see you!" Meng Xiaobai was puzzled, he looked around the entrance of the mall, and didn't see what Songzi said, "a handsome man in a patterned shirt".
"Are you wearing a pair of glasses and a black sweatshirt?" Matsuko sent another message.
"That's right!" Meng Xiaobai replied.
"Hey, I'm here!" Meng Xiaobai saw that someone was waving at him, it was indeed a man in a blue leather jacket. However, it is not as "handsome and compelling" as Songzi described, but it is a bit of a sass.
He is estimated to be about one meter seven or eight tall, wearing a colorful shirt and loose denim shorts, and a pair of splint slippers, as if he is on vacation at the beach, and the fat on his belly is shaped like a swimming ring, Meng Xiaobai estimates that he will not sink into the water, there is too much fat!
In fact, Meng Xiaobai had noticed this person a long time ago, but his fat neck was invisible, and his scumbag appearance really made Meng Xiaobai unable to connect with the word "handsome".
Besides, his avatar on the Internet is a super handsome guy, and sure enough, not only women are cheated, but also men!
"Songzi?" Meng Xiaobai walked over and asked in surprise.
"Yes, that's me. Matsuko smiled, "I'm standing in such an obvious place, you've been looking for a long time, it's so disappointing to me." ”
"I'm sorry, but your handsomeness is so dazzling that it blinds my eyes. Meng Xiaobai teased, and both of them laughed, they often said these jokes before, so they didn't care.
"At this point, let's have a meal first!" Songzi said, "You come from afar, my brother will take you to eat first, and then go to the studio in the afternoon." ”
"Let's go!"
Songzi took him into a Chinese restaurant, ordered a lot of meat, and the two began to chat.
During the conversation, Meng Xiaobai learned that Songzi's real name is Ruan Song, who is 30 years old this year, and he is the chief designer of the building block game studio.
"Xiaobai, if you want to come to work in our studio!" Ruan Song patted his "strong" chest and said proudly: "That's what my brother said! Brother has been working in this studio for several years, as long as you want, I can arrange for you to come in at any time!"
"Thank you for your kindness, but I'll have to take a look first. Meng Xiaobai said that in a short contact, he found that although Ruan Song was a technical god. But he's very easy-going, and he likes to brag a little bit, which doesn't hurt.
After the meal, Ruan Song took him to the building block game studio.
The building block game studio is neither big nor small, and now has more than twenty employees.
When Meng Xiaobai arrived, everyone was busy, and when they saw Ruan Song with someone behind him, someone was curious: "Brother Song, who is this?"
"This is my apprentice!" Ruan Song said loudly, "Take him to our studio to have a look." ”
"Your apprentice, when did you take in your apprentice?" everyone said in surprise.
"Online!" Ruan Song said.
Meng Xiaobai didn't refute, just greeted everyone with a smile, and everyone chatted a few words and continued to work.
Meng Xiaobai took a look, and the employees were very active in their work and had been busy. The atmosphere is also very good, and it stands to reason that such a studio should work well.
"Brother Song, I think the studio is not bad!" Meng Xiaobai said.
"Of course it's good!" Ruan Song immediately boasted at the mention of this, "Now what you see is the decline of the studio!"
"If you had come a few years earlier, we would have twice as many people as we do now!" Ruan Songmei said, "At that time, several large companies wanted to buy us!"
He lowered his voice again, and whispered in Meng Xiaobai's ear: "Penguin Games knows, right? They offered me an annual salary of three million, and I didn't agree!"
"Why?" Meng Xiaobai wondered, now Ruan Song's annual salary is only more than 300,000, which is ten times less than 3 million!
"Hey!" Ruan Song sighed, "I ate too much lard at the beginning, and I was blinded!"
"In the beginning, our building block studio was founded by a group of people from all over the world who love games! There were five co-founders at the beginning! Over the years, slowly changed, those people at the beginning have left, and now the boss has changed. ”
"Now, hey, don't talk about it. Ruan Song shook his head.
Meng Xiaobai was about to ask, when an unhappy voice came from next to him: "What's the matter, it's not going to work now?"
Meng Xiaobai looked back, it was a middle-aged man with his hands on his back, his figure was slightly fat, his face was wide and round, his eyebrows were short, and his unhappy face looked very much like the head teacher who was always haunted outside the window when Meng Xiaobai was a student.
Seeing the person coming, Ruan Song's originally kind expression also lowered slightly, and said: "Now the management method is different from before. ”
"Really?" the man sneered, "If you have a problem with the way I manage it, we can find a time to have a good chat." ”
"Not necessarily. Ruan Song said, "I don't have anything to talk to you about. ”
Meng Xiaobai noticed that the other employees in the studio were silent at this time, and it seemed that this "manager" was not a pleasant person.
"Who is he?" the man looked at Meng Xiaobai.
"A friend of mine also wanted to make a game, so let's come to the studio. Ruan Song said.
"The studio is the company, can the company bring people in and see it?" the man said sternly.
"I know how to do it, and he's probably going to work here, so it's just a quick takeover. Ruan Song emphasized.
"That's not good, the company has the company's rules and regulations! If you want to enter the company, you have to go through the personnel, and I will interview in person!" the man criticized.
"Do you understand technology?" Ruan Song said, "Hehe".
The man wanted to lose his temper, but when the words came to his lips, he held back and said, "Don't take it as an example!"
As he spoke, he glanced at the studio staff, walked into the office with his hands behind his back, and closed the door.
Waiting for him to leave, Meng Xiaobai asked, "Brother Song, that's, your boss?"
"Just him?" Ruan Song was quite disdainful of him, and said, "If our boss had been like this, I would have resigned a long time ago!"
"And who is he?"
"He, Chen Hai, is a very foolish person!" Ruan Song lowered his voice, "Our current boss's main business is not games, and he has no time to manage it when he buys this studio. He didn't trust us very much, and he didn't know where to find this person, saying that some big company had management experience. ”
"Actually, this Chen Hai ......," Ruan Song said and stopped here, "forget it, I won't tell you this." Anyway, if you come to work, with me covering you, he can't embarrass you. ”
"Okay. Meng Xiaobai somewhat understood why the situation of the building block game studio was getting worse, it turned out that their boss Wen Tiantian was a hands-off shopkeeper and handed over the business to Chen Hai to manage.
It's strange that this manager doesn't agree with the game designers, so it's strange that he can run the studio well!
