Chapter 80: The Rumors Are Blowing

Drowsiness strikes again, and my eyelids are as heavy as mountains, and I can't help but want to close them. After being in a trance for www.biquge.info pen "Fun", Che Guanglong found that he had fallen asleep on the back chair again unconsciously.

Looking at the time in the lower right corner of the monitor, it was already eleven o'clock in the evening, and he turned his head to look around, and there were only six people in the programming department who were still in the company, including himself, that is, the four senior programmers and a director and a master program who participated in the small disclosure of the source code of the game engine.

Since attending that impromptu meeting, several of them have been working like clockwork, coming to the office at nine o'clock in the morning and working until one or two o'clock in the morning before returning to the apartment to rest. The average daily sleep time is less than six hours, and there is no problem with being so busy for a day or two occasionally, but after persevering for more than a week, the iron-beaten people can't bear such a call!

Che Guanglong stood up and walked to the bathroom to wash his face with cold water to sober himself up completely. Back in his seat, he pulled out a bottle of Red Bull from the drawer of his desk, unscrewed the tab, and drank half of it in one gulp, which was considered to be resurrected.

Lack of sleep combined with high mental fatigue has long been useless for strong tea and coffee, and can only rely on anti-fatigue drinks or drugs to refresh the mind. For example, Director Li has spewed out a smell of American ginseng lozenges when he speaks in the past few days, and he didn't plan to follow suit, but on the third or fourth day, when he couldn't bear the sleepiness, he listened to Liu Kewei's suggestion and tried Red Bull, and he felt okay, so he drank it. Probably keep two or three cans a day, so that you can barely hold on.

Che Guanglong smiled bitterly, no wonder I often hear that there are often people in the IT industry who die suddenly, die of overwork, or something, and I have only been like this for more than a week.

After two more sips, Che Guanglong casually placed the empty jar behind the LCD monitor. I don't know who started it, but lately the staff at Holy Grail Studio, who often work overtime, have developed a rather bizarre habit of stacking empty energy drink bottles and cans behind monitors like building blocks. I don't know if it's to laugh at myself for fun, or to show off my hard work to others, or to tell the executives in the company how hard everyone is? Now count the dozens of empty jars, filling the gap between the monitor and the partition of the computer desk.

Drinking two or three bottles of Red Bull every day to refresh himself shouldn't be a big problem, right? But the buddy next to him, his face has been obviously swollen these days, I don't know if it's caused by fatigue or because he drank too many refreshing drinks? Look at the back of his monitor, at least twenty empty bottles of Yuan Mi D are sitting there.

Just as he was about to sit back in his chair and continue his research on the collision detection system of the game engine, the mobile phone in Che Guanglong's pocket rang, and he took out his phone to see that it was Wakazakura calling.

This girl has secretly moved from the company's staff dormitory to the apartment she shared with Lao Liu, temporarily living in the previous Duan Shanshan's house, but every day at this point or so, she will sneak into her own room, live an hour or two of two, and then sneak back to her own room to sleep on the grounds that she is not used to sharing a bed with others.

In order to avoid becoming the subject of gossip in the company, she said to the outside world that she had shared a house with a classmate who worked nearby.

Che Guanglong hung up the phone first, then left the program department, preparing to go to the darkly lit reception room and call Wakazakura back. When I opened the door, I found that there were two burning cigarette butts in the room, as well as a strong smell of smoke.

"Who?" walked over from the brightly lit program department, his eyes couldn't adapt to the dark environment for a while, and he didn't recognize who it was, so Che Guanglong coughed and asked.

"Che'er, it's me, and Ling Xingning from our planning department. Liu Kewei's familiar voice answered him, and he quipped, "Why did you, a quit-smoker, come here again?

"Fuck off, I'm just here to make a call. ”

Che Guanglong laughed and cursed, pushed open another door and walked onto the balcony, and then slammed the door shut, he didn't like to be heard on his private phone call with Wakasakura, even if the other party was Liu Kewei.

"Girl, what's wrong?" Che Guanglong had just hung up, and the other side was connected, so he asked in a low voice.

"Why haven't you come back yet, are you going to stay up until two or three o'clock today?"

Che Guanglong could even imagine the sullen appearance of Ruoying on the other end of the phone, and couldn't help but smile: "Well, it should be." Don't wait for me, rest yourself, you have to come to the company tomorrow morning to open the door, don't you?"

"You're not coming back, I'm so scared to be alone in such a big apartment!" Wakazakura began to sell cuteness, pinching her throat to imitate a child's child's voice, and said sharply.

"Don't make a fuss, you forgot to ride the roller coaster, you were so bold, I was scared half to death, and you were still screaming excitedly there, 'so exciting', 'so enjoyable'!" Che Guanglong laughed, "Everyone else is working overtime, it's not appropriate for me to go first, this is the last day, the day after tomorrow will be the version review, tomorrow night should not be overtime - it's too late to add more." ”

"Doesn't I care about you!" Wakazakura returned to her normal tone and complained aggrievedly, "So the game development industry is really so hard?"

"Well, sometimes it is, but not always. There are busy times and free times, which are related to the progress of the version. Che Guanglong patiently explained.

"Is that bug you said solved?" asked Wakazakura casually.

"No, it's too tight, give us two or three more weeks and maybe we can find the problem. Che Guanglong said with deep regret and unwillingness, "The internal disclosure of the engine source code is too late, and it is at the end of the version node, everyone is very busy at this stage, and there is nothing to spare." ”

"What happens if this bug is not solved? I heard that the company may be dissolved, but I don't know if it's true. Wakazakura suddenly became nervous.

"Who knows, the executives won't tell me this inside information, but where did you get the news?" asked Cha Guanglong curiously.

"I won't tell you!" Wakazakura was arrogant for a moment, and then deliberately lowered her voice and whispered, "I told you secretly, don't say it, it was the administrative assistant Li Xiuxin who told me, and she kindly reminded me to pay attention to finding a new job these days, so as not to get in a hurry if something goes wrong with the company." ”

"Where did she get the news, isn't she just a recent graduate administrative assistant, is she a relative of an executive?" Cha Guanglong was a little difficult to understand Wakasakura's news channel, "Who would tell her about this kind of thing?"

"You don't know this, Li Xiuxin got along with a certain executive in the company, and people told her in private. Wakazakura said proudly, "Guess who!"

"It must be Master Xu, he is the only executive in the company who is neither married nor girlfriended, right?" Che Guanglong replied disapprehantly.

"Wrong, it's Gong Master Cheng from your program department. Wakazakura smiled like a fox that had stolen a chicken, "Didn't you guess?"

Che Guanglong blinked violently and said in disbelief: "No, isn't Gong Zhucheng already married...... Isn't this the 'little three'?"

"People are happy, what you like me, what do you care so much about!" Wakazakura snorted, "Not many people in the company know about this, don't tell it!"

"Don't worry, I'm not interested in chewing on other people's tongues. Che Guanglong muttered, wanting to end the call as soon as possible and devote himself to the last attempt to find the bug, "You can rest early, you don't have to wait for me." ”

"Wait, you haven't said if there will be a problem with the company!" Wakazakura on the other side of the phone hurriedly shouted.

Che Guanglong hesitated for a few seconds, and to be honest, he didn't have a clear answer to this question. However, from the previous few times of chatting with Liu Kewei in private, I listened to the other party's meaning that if this bug is not solved, the alpha version review will definitely not pass; if the review fails, the third phase of investment on Mingzhou's side will not be allocated; and the Holy Grail Studio has no online operation projects to obtain stable income, purely relying on investment and blood transfusion to maintain the operation, once it loses Mingzhou's investment, it will immediately fall into a dead end.

Liu Kewei vaguely revealed that several executives in the company have been trying to find contact with other investors in recent times. Even if the "takeover" can be successfully found, the company's shareholding structure and personnel structure are estimated to change greatly. And is it so easy to find new investors? Who can be confident that their investment will not be wasted after their investment is in this situation?

If the Holy Grail Studio has sufficient cash flow at present, it can also calmly do the work of persuasion and communication with new investors. But listening to Liu Kewei's meaning, the funds invested privately by several executives and the investment allocated by Mingzhou twice have been basically used up cleanly so far, and even this month's employee salary has to point to the third phase of investment on Mingzhou's side. In this case, with a slight delay, the Holy Grail Studio's account will not be able to turnover. Everyone is working the project, but the salary is not in hand, who can accept it? When the time comes, it will be strange if the company does not make a mess.

"I don't know, you don't have to worry if something goes wrong, a few headhunting companies contacted me on the Internet a while ago, and they wanted to poach me to change jobs, but I didn't agree at that time. As long as we programmers are passable, it is not difficult to find a job, and we can afford to support you. Che Guanglong patiently comforted his girlfriend, "Don't think about it so much, go to sleep obediently." ”

"Who wants you to raise it!" Wakazakura protested, "Then I'll go to sleep, good night." ”

"Well, good night. ”
