Chapter 30: Manager Bing's Birthday Party

The escalator climbs smoothly upwards. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Liu Kewei, dressed in T-shirt and beach pants, stood on a crowded escalator, surrounded by mostly middle-aged women pushing shopping carts, this guy with dyed brown curly hair and hands in his pockets looked so out of place.

He'd been up and down the supermarket several times, and he was a little impatient.

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

Personnel manager Bing Feng sent him a text message in the morning, saying that it was his birthday today, and he was going to have a small gathering in their dormitory in the evening.

The subtext is that there are no outsiders, they are all old colleagues who jumped from the "Golden Egret" company in Xiamen before, and who have participated in the research and development of "Sui and Tang Fengyunlu Online". That is, the internal gathering of the most influential circles in the Holy Grail Studio, which Cha Guanglong once said.

After all, in a team that has just been formed and has not yet passed the run-in period, it will be very taboo for others to engage in small groups with great fanfare, so it will be handled so low-key.

There is no problem with birthdays, and there is no problem with eating, but the question is what kind of gift should I give? Liu Kewei has been worried about this for almost a whole day. If the subject is a girl, then it is very appropriate to send some perfume and cosmetics, but the subject is a personnel manager who does not smoke and only drinks on social occasions and has no bad habits, so it is difficult to send something suitable.

I don't know his size, I don't know his size, I don't know how to give a cigarette, alcohol, and cigarette lighter, I don't like to give him a cigarette, I don't like to give some decorations, I don't think it's practical, I ......don't know what he is, I don't know his size, I don't know his size, I don't know what he is, I don't know what to do, I don't know what to do, I don't know how to do I really couldn't think of a plan, so I decided to come to E-Mart to have a look in person, and I couldn't tell if I could find a suitable gift.

As a result, he walked through the food area on the first floor, the daily necessities area on the second floor, the clothing area on the third floor, and the home appliance area on the fourth floor of this large supermarket, but he still had no ideas.

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

Holding the box of razors in his hand, Liu Kewei walked out of the supermarket after checking out at the checkout. Seeing that the time was already meal, he quickened his pace and hurried to the apartment that Manager Bing had rented.

Fortunately, the supermarket was only a few hundred meters away from the community, and after more than ten minutes, he knocked on the door of the apartment that Manager Bing, Cao Zheng, and She Guankan shared together.

Bing Feng opened the door for him, he casually stuffed the razor to Bing Feng, said happy birthday, and then broke into the house informally.

The smell of stir-fried food from the kitchen, Liu Kewei sniffled, walked over and looked around. Bing Feng's girlfriend and She Guanka's girlfriend are busy with you cutting me and stirring up.

"Sister Lin, Xiaolan, you two have worked hard, what delicious food have you prepared? It's so delicious......" Liu Kewei smiled and made a salivating look.

Both of them didn't have time to raise their heads, but they just nodded and waved their hands, said hello, and continued their work.

"Don't be mischievous here, you can find Lao Cao Xiaoshe and them to play!" Bing Feng dragged him out of the kitchen.

So Liu Kewei was pushed by Bing Feng and went to Cao System's room, Cao System was playing World of Warcraft with headphones, She Guan was sitting on the side and watching, Liu Kewei came over to join them, and from time to time made sarcastic and mocking comments on Cao System's operating methods.

It didn't take long for another person to enter the room. He was tall and burly, with a face as graceful as rain, but his hair was only a short stubble that had just grown a few days after he had just been shaved, and the whole person's physique, appearance, and hairstyle were completely incompatible with the three styles, full of contrasts and conflicts.

Seeing this person 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." ā€

"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, and sometimes I miss Xiamen." ā€

The three of them smiled and sat down on the edge of the bed, as well-behaved as students in front of the head teacher.

Speaking of which, this Manager Wang can be regarded as the person who took them into the industry and taught them how to make games hand in hand. It's not just the boss, it's not an exaggeration to say it's a teacher. And the three of them also followed the former mastermind and left the former company to come to Hangzhou together. So in front of him, it's not surprising to behave a little restrained.

"How is the planning department doing?" Manager Wang asked straight to the point, "Are you all doing your work well?"

"It's all good......"

"It went well. ā€

"No problem. ā€

The three of them replied one after another.

"What about the work of other departments? Didn't I tell you that you have time to go to program and art runs, and you will have more or less understanding, let's talk about it. Manager Wang encouraged the three of them.

The three of you, look at me, I look at him, and finally Cao Zheng and She Guanguan looked at Liu Kewei with their eyes and asked Liu Kewei to answer.

"At the moment, everything is normal, there are a lot of new people in the program, and their work is being assigned, and some fresh graduates seem to be a little struggling, and it is estimated that they will not be able to work for long. Liu Kewei thought about it and said, "The art side is determining the style, and there is no large-scale recruitment yet, so the progress will be slower." ā€

"It's not a big problem with art, you have to keep an eye on the program. Manager Wang's right hand was on his knee, and his five fingers took turns to tap, "Art can't decide the life and death of a project, the style is nothing more than the performance of details, if the effect is not good, it doesn't matter if you replace all the people, in case you don't have enough time, you can also temporarily find outsourcing." However, once there is a problem on the program side, it is a big deal, and it is inconvenient to replace people, and the handover of code-related things is too troublesome, and it cannot be outsourced to others. Eight of the ten games that failed to develop were procedurally problematic. ā€

"Yes, we know. Liu Kewei nodded, and then tentatively put forward his own opinion, "But we can't just go to the program to see their code, right? But aren't Li Zhucheng and Gong Zhucheng your old friends? You should know the strength of the two of them. ā€

"After all, we haven't worked together, although we've known each other for many years. Manager Wang shook his head lightly and said, "So I have confidence in them, but I'm not sure." If I am still the main planner and can grasp the progress of research and development, I will be more sure-footed. But now this part of the work is handed over to Lao Xu, I am a project manager who sits in the office and listens to the signing and sealing of the report. ā€

"Aren't you and Xu Zhuce also old friends for seven or eight years? He won't misunderstand you about this trivial matter, right?" asked Liu Kewei cautiously.

"Lao Xu has the ability and experience, but he can be very stubborn in some things. Since he is the mastermind, it is still necessary to take care of his emotions. Manager Wang grimaced happily, as if he wanted to shorten the distance between them, "Just kidding, you all know that people who are usually more cautious when it comes to values." ā€

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

After noticing his expression, Manager Wang was slightly stunned.

"You also have to be considerate of Lao Xu, there are now five people in the planning department, and the three of you are all brought by me from Xiamen, and a new copywriter is recruited by Lao Xu himself. As a mastermind, he can't even control more than half of the employees in his department, and he is quite hard. ā€

"The planning department will definitely recruit people again, right?" Liu Kewei retorted unwillingly, "When the time comes, more than a dozen or twenty planners will sit in the company, and the three of us will be inconspicuous in the pile, so what else does Xu Zhuce have to worry about." ā€

Manager Wang shook his head and said: "It's different, the three of you and the plan recruited in the future must be different, the level system must be led by you, unless you make a big mistake in your work, otherwise Lao Xu will not let the newcomers who come in later pass you, this is not only your face, but also the face of me and Xiao Bing, Lao Xu will not be so unbelievable." ā€

Liu Kewei nodded speechlessly.

"So you should keep a low profile in the company, especially in the planning department, take the initiative to cooperate with the work, don't worry about the things that shouldn't be taken care of, and leave some leeway for Lao Xu. Manager Wang continued, "You just need to get the level and system right, don't cross the line in the values and copywriting, otherwise Lao Xu will think that I want to set him up in the planning department, can you understand?"

Hearing the last sentence, Liu Kewei was stunned, his eyes rolled twice, and he had a slurred expression.

"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 Guanjie, and the expressions of the two were also a little embarrassed.

"Like...... The copywriter and our brothers are a little close, and they often eat together or something, but the relationship with Xu Zhuce is quite cold. Liu Kewei snorted.

Manager Wang blinked, and his expression froze for a while.

At this time, Bing Feng came in to announce the start of the meal, and everyone temporarily accepted the topic and went to sit down at the large round table in the living room.

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

"Xiao Bing, there may be some problems on 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 Lao Liu, I am worried that Lao Xu will think too much." ā€

Bing Feng thought for a moment and asked, "Are you saying that he will feel that he can't control the planning department?"

Manager Wang nodded and did not answer.

"Then recruit him a few more plans, and it's over. Bing Feng said disapprehantly, "Actually, Xu Zhu's temperament is not close to people, and at least eight out of ten people can't get close to him, so it's mainly his own problem." ā€

"That's not good, it's not the stage of large-scale recruitment and planning, the program has not been run in well, and a bunch of plans are recruited to come in and be idle? Manager Wang shook his head and refused, "I have to find a way to appease him first, don't let him think that we are going to trap him." ā€

Bing Feng scratched his head 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, ask out a few young girls in the company who have no object, and call Lao Xu and Lao Gong to sing K, it will be regarded as a friendship." After the atmosphere is up, you find an opportunity to talk to Lao Xu privately, we are looking forward to his work, and then ask him if he has any plans that need the company's support, at least let him see our respect and attention to him. ā€

"Let me do this kind of thing again, do you have overtime pay?" Bing Feng joked with a hippie smile, "Otherwise, if we can choose a beautiful female planner for him, we will arrange it in the planning department and let him do it himself." ā€

"If it's just a girl's paper, I don't object to it," Manager Wang said with a decisive tone, "You are in charge, both pronged." ā€
