Chapter 1: The Birth of Copywriting
Duan Shanshan followed Liu Kewei out of the elevator, and there was a large desk facing the door. A petite girl with short hair was sitting behind a desk facing the elevator exit, her head bowed on the table, holding a pen in her right hand and a tube of correction fluid in her left hand, busily filling in and correcting something.
As if sensing someone coming out of the elevator, the girl looked up, and then immediately showed a gentle smile and nodded to the two.
"This beauty is the front desk of our company, named Xia Ruoying. Liu Kewei waved his hand to the girl, and then spread his hands in front of Duan Shanshan's chest, "This is the new planner, my future partner." By the way, I forgot to tell you that I'm a level planner, and we're all from the planning department. ”
"Hello, my name is Duan Shanshan. The fat man couldn't remember how long it had been since he had spoken to a young girl, nor how long he hadn't been watched by such a young and beautiful girl, so he instinctively stiffened his limbs and was at a loss, and even a simple nod was very reluctant.
"Duan Shanshan......" The girl rummaged through a stack of prints on the table to find the corresponding one, and then ...... He covered his mouth and laughed without accident, "I'm sorry, it's rude." How did you come up with a girl's name?"
The fat man covered his forehead with a red face, and once again explained the origin of his name.
"Anyway, that's it, the name or something, we can't decide for ourselves, right?" Finally, wiping the beads of sweat from his forehead, he carefully added the sentence.
Xia Ruoying couldn't help but smile and nodded in agreement, thought for a while and said, "Na, you don't need to call each other by name and surname in the company, if you don't like this name either, why don't you call ......it another name?"
What a considerate and understanding girl! The fat man instantly had the urge to burst into tears. However...... Suspiciously, he turned his head and looked at Liu Kewei beside him, obviously a little boy with red lips and white eyebrows......
"You look like you're only in your early 20s, why do you call you Lao Liu?"
Liu Kewei smiled proudly, "I am 87 years old, 23 years old this year, but I have been in the industry for almost six years, so they call me Lao Liu." ”
"You entered the industry at the age of 17?
"Well, I studied game design in college, and I worked part-time in the game development studio on campus, and then I worked in Shenzhen for a year, and in Xiamen for two years, and now I've been here, which adds up to six years. ”
The fat man nodded silently with an expressionless face, "I'm 77 years old and 33 years old this year...... But today is my first day in the industry, do you want to despise me?"
Liu Kewei laughed with the girl.
"You think too much," Liu Kewei shook his head and said, "If you don't have the ability to do a good job, you will be despised, and it has nothing to do with the length of time in office, this line of work is not about qualifications." ”
"But seriously, except for a few bosses in the company, you should be the oldest. The girl smiled cutely, but the words she said were like knives poking into the heart of the fat man, "You are about ten years older than us, why don't you just call you Uncle Duan?"
After a few words, this has been upgraded to an adult? The fat man wanted to cry without tears in his heart, and of course he had to pretend to accept this logical proposal on the surface.
However, this title is at least stronger than Duan Shanshan, right? Thinking about it like this, the fat man was calm.
So he sent the fat man's suitcase at the front desk, and then waved goodbye to the girl Wakazakura, and Liu Kewei led the fat man to continue to go through the entry procedures.
I went to the HR department to say hello, and then I registered a bunch of case papers, and I was told to go back to the planning department first and wait for the appointment of the HR manager.
Then, Liu Kewei led the fat man to the planning department, and pointed to the direction of the art department and the program department along the way.
After arriving at the planning department, Liu Kewei poured a glass of water from the water dispenser with a disposable paper cup, stuffed it into the fat man, and asked him to find an empty table to sit down and rest, and then went back to his seat to start the computer and didn't know what to do.
The fat man was holding the paper cup boringly, his head looking around.
The main structure of this floor is an open space, the number of rooms is not much, it is estimated that only the personnel department and a few bosses have the right to use the office, such as the planning department, the art department and the program department are actually in the semi-circular hall around the elevator room, and there is no barrier.
In the hall are rows of tables and chairs: computer desks, backrest swivel chairs. There are many desks and chairs, but the number of computers on the table is not large, and only the computer is equipped with a staff member.
At first glance, there are not many empty people.
There are about 20 sets of tables and chairs in the planning department, and there are only four machines, and in addition to Liu Kewei, there are two young men who are working on the keys. The fat man looked at Liu Kewei, and it seemed that he had no intention of introducing for the time being, and the two colleagues were also focused on their own work, so they didn't plan to take the initiative to talk about something.
Just kidding, a fat man who has been in his own home for seven or eight years will be the character who takes the initiative to talk to strangers?
So the fat man continued to look around boredly.
Ah, it's really uncomfortable to have nothing to do! There is one around, almost all of them are big men, and the R&D department of the IT company, the ratio of men to women is said to be more than 9 to 1, which seems to be true at all.
The whole company turned around like this, and it seems that the girl who smiled very gently at the front desk can be said to be pleasing to the eye, and the others are either androgynous or...... It's no wonder that for IT companies full of otaku, the front desk girl paper is the face of the company, of course, it is impossible to put a hateful face at the elevator door to scare people, right?
Suddenly, the fat man inexplicably opened his mind, thinking that if he was not here, but near the Chongqing Liberation Monument, which has the highest density of Asian beauties, then the same behavior of looking around would be so happy and comfortable! Oh, by the way, it is said that the professional term for this kind of behavior in Chongqing seems to be called "lookout"?
Someone tapped him on the shoulder, which woke the fat man from his reverie, and also startled him firmly, and the water cup in his hand was unstable, and most of it splashed on the table.
Turning around, a young man with glasses and a small size stood beside him, who looked to be twenty-five or sixteen years old.
"I've been waiting for a long time, I'm Bing Feng, the personnel manager. Manager Bing smiled kindly, and his expression and tone were full of the kind and enthusiastic professional flavor of HR, which somehow reminded people of MLM......
The fat man stood up, bowed slightly and nodded, and before he could speak, Manager Bing had already warmly held his right hand, still the kind with both hands, and shook it twice.
However, in the next second, Manager Bing suddenly let go of the fat man's hand, walked behind Liu Kewei, and reached out to slap the back of his head lightly.
"Lao Liu, are you watching the MV of Girls' Generation again during work hours?" Manager Bing directly ripped off Liu Kewei's headphones and threw them on the table, "You just take advantage of the opportunity of Xu Zhuce and Manager Wang to go on a business trip to Beijing, and see how they clean you up when they come back!"
Liu Kewei turned around and smiled honestly, but affectionately held Manager Bing's hand and didn't mind, "The project has just been filed, and the little work at hand has already been completed, and it will not delay the work. ”
"I'm not worried about your work," Manager Bing was still smiling, and the fat man couldn't help but secretly admire that it was amazing, he was able to keep a bright smile while shaking his head and sighing, "The problem is that everyone in the company walks around, and it is not good to be affected by colleagues in other departments." Can't you be a little more convergent?Is Girls' Generation so good?,Those MVs,You've watched them hundreds of times, right?"
The fat man followed behind Manager Bing and glanced at Liu Kewei's screen, where eight or nine young girls in denim cropped pants and white T-shirts were singing and dancing in a giggling manner. I thought Liu Kewei was busy with something, cut, it turned out that he was looking at his sister's paper......
Liu Kewei smiled and chatted with Manager Bing for a few more words, and Manager Bing waved his hand to let him rest, and then turned around and hugged the shoulder of the fat man.
"Let's go, follow me and finish the formalities. ”
So the fat man followed Manager Bing through the planning department, the programming department and the art department, and came to the activity room at the other end.
The activity room is large, with two brand new table tennis tables and a few leather sofas.
Manager Bing didn't stop and walked through the activity room to a cabin with a balcony. The room was really small, and there was barely enough room for anything other than a round table and a few plastic stools.
Manager Bing sat down at the table with the fat man in his arms, put away the smile on his face a little, and changed to a more formal tone.
"Welcome to the Holy Grail Studios. ”
The unsurprising opening remarks made the fat man involuntarily adjust his sitting posture and enter the mode of being interviewed by the leader.
"It stands to reason that our company's recruitment process is very formal, with resumes, phone interviews, and interviews before being notified of the official entry. You've almost skipped the middle two steps entirely, do you know why?"
The fat man shook his head and honestly said that he didn't know.
"In addition, our company is a planning-led R&D team, and generally will not hire fresh graduates with no work experience at all, and even if they do, they will definitely not be at the stage when the project has just started. Although you are not a fresh graduate, but you don't have even a day of work experience, why are we hiring you at this time?"
The fat man continued to shake his head.
"The answer is simple, although you don't have any experience in game development, you do have the experience of publishing written works and have won national awards. Although you are not qualified for level planning, system planning, or numerical planning, you should be able to do a good job in game development! We have referred to the novel you published, as well as some other short and medium-length manuscripts that you sent with your resume, and we have confidence in you, and hope that you can also take the pressure, overcome the difficulties, and meet our expectations for you. ”
"Starting tomorrow, you will officially join the company as a copywriter!"
