Chapter 62: The house leak happened to rain overnight
In the conference room, Lin Xingning sat next to Xu Zhuce with an embarrassed smile. Sitting opposite him www.biquge.info were Cao Gong, Liu Kewei, Duan Shanshan, and She Jinshan. As with the previous ones, the planning meeting, which had begun for more than half an hour, had an eerie atmosphere.
The four people on the opposite side opened their mouths in turn, and as soon as each finished speaking, they immediately attracted a sneer from Xu Zhuce, and then they were ordered to go back and rewrite it, and asked to resubmit a new plan the next day.
Ling Xingning has not been in contact with the copywriting work, so he has no right to speak, but at least in the two parts of system planning and level planning, Lin Xingning does not agree with Xu Zhuce's decision in his heart. Although he was confident that if he put those jobs into his own hands, he could come up with something at least the same level, but he also admitted that the work results of Cao Gong, Liu Kewei and She Jinshan were definitely not as unbearable as Xu Zhuce said. In fact, on the contrary, most of the designs can make Lin Xingning feel a sense of kinship, and the part of the content with inconsistent views, Lin Xingning doesn't even dare to confirm that his plan is more correct and more appropriate, at most, it can be regarded as a different perspective.
To put it simply, Lin Xingning felt that the documents taken out by the four people opposite could be used directly based on his game development experience, and this was the case since he first participated in the planning meeting of the Holy Grail Studio, but why was he repeatedly rejected and modified by Xu Zhucuo?
Is it because Xu Zhuce has too high expectations and expectations, or is it because of some other special reason?
When he first arrived, he knew very well that he didn't know anything, and in this environment, he should learn Zhang Tingyu's philosophy of life in the Qing Dynasty, "Ten thousand words, ten thousand words, it is better to be silent." So in every planning meeting, he tried his best to maintain a subtle silence from beginning to end, even if he was asked by Xu to express his opinion by name, he only said some simple judgments that were cautious and carefully considered, and never played recklessly.
On the first day he joined the company, Xu Zhuce told him that the most important thing about him was that he wrote "I want to find a new challenge" in the motivation for changing jobs in the cover letter, and Xu Zhuce said that he valued his ambition to pursue higher ideals.
But Xu Zhuce didn't know that this sentence was actually Ling Xingning's unintentional words that he knocked out his teeth and swallowed in his stomach.
The actual situation is that Ling Xingning was squeezed out by the boss of the previous company. The reason is very simple, the product has the hope of selling well, and the former boss will either honor the previous contract and pay a large dividend to the R&D team according to the proportion of future income, or find some reason to drive most of the team members away, and only retain a small number of people who enjoy dividends as the core, and then recruit a group of cheap newcomers who do not need to pay dividends to come in to maintain the operation of the project.
It's a pity that Ling Xingning's former boss belongs to the more greedy and stingy type, and he chose the latter approach. Because most of the work of system planning has been completed in the internal testing stage of the game, and the work of level planning can also come in handy with the increase of the game's upper limit level and the opening of new scenes corresponding to the level, Ling Xingning and others were driven out for some reason, leaving only a small number of team members such as the level team leader.
Therefore, Lin Xingning's real motive for changing jobs was not for ambition, but for necessity. He's just an ordinary IT guy who wants to go to work with peace of mind and work steadily.
What he didn't expect was that he finally changed companies, and he crashed into this complex and weird working environment. Facing the inexplicable tense air between his boss and colleagues, looking at the pair of meaningful and meaningful eyes around him, this made Ling Xingning feel deeply anxious and stressed.
The most frustrating thing is that he doesn't know who to talk to about all the pressure after changing to a new environment. As soon as he entered the Holy Grail Studio, he was entrusted with the important task of deputy mastermind, Xu Zhuce can be said to be very kind of to him, if he tells him these troubles, I don't know if it will make him disappointed? As for the other colleagues around him, looking at their attitude of getting along with each other one by one, Ling Xingning felt like a pins and needles for no reason, let alone open his heart to them.
All this can only be silently held in the bottom of my heart.
He could sense that Xu Zhuce might have used him as a sharp blade, and the target of the attack was probably one of the four people sitting opposite him at the moment, or all of them. Fortunately, Xu did not force him to take a stand immediately, and recently he only took him to participate in the planning meeting in the name of "familiar with the business", and did not push him to the front line of the struggle. However, that day is probably not far off.
After leaving the conference room, Ling Xingning went to inspect the test work of the executive planners as usual. Recently, because Cao Gong and others have devoted all their time and energy to modifying the documents, the various test work of the test server has been handed over to the executive planners, and this part of the work has also been assigned to Ling Xingning to be in charge, so attending and participating in meetings every day, understanding the test situation and taking time to familiarize themselves with the production outline and various planning documents have become Ling Xingning's main work content.
He reluctantly pulled himself together and walked to each of the executive desks, bent down to look at their testing progress, and chatted about the topic of testing work.
Suddenly, he noticed that there was something unusual in the game screen of an executive planner in the distance, and his attention was quickly attracted out of professional sensitivity, but before he could see the details clearly, he saw that the executive planner pressed the power button on the chassis very casually and restarted the machine......
"Wait, what happened when you tested it just now, why didn't you report it immediately, why did you restart it?" Ling Xingning couldn't help but shout, he walked quickly to the side of the executive planner, attracting the sideways glances of everyone nearby.
Cao Gong, Liu Kewei and others, who were originally sitting in their seats, quickly approached over, and even Xu Zhuce couldn't help but look sideways.
"What's wrong?" Liu Kewei asked, "What did you see?"
"I didn't see him restarting, but it feels like a serious bug, so ask him about it. Ling Xingning frowned and pointed at the executive planner and said.
Cao Gong and Liu Kewei looked at Ling Xingning suspiciously, and the latter couldn't help but puff up his chest and make a calm appearance.
After not seeing Ling Xingning's ulterior motives, Liu Kewei turned his head and asked the executive planner: "What happened when you tested just now, why did you restart it?"
The executive planner suddenly became the focus of everyone's attention, and he couldn't react for a while, and explained sneeringly: "It's nothing, it's just that the character is running on the map, and suddenly he falls." I couldn't continue the test, so I went to restart the machine. ”
"The character fell off the scene map?" Liu Kewei's eyes widened, he instinctively came to the same judgment as Ling Xingning, this could be an extremely serious bug, "Why don't you report the bug as soon as possible?"
"Is this a bug??" The executive planner blinked blankly, "I thought only the error was a bug......
Without the heart to reprimand this inexperienced rookie newcomer, Liu Kewei quickly asked: "What did you do just now that caused that character to fall? Can you remember it? Hurry up and try to see if you can reproduce the bug!"
"I didn't do anything, I just ran around the scene map for a while, and then I suddenly fell. The executive planner replied.
Dozens of seconds later, with a crowd of onlookers watching, the executive planner tried his best to repeat all his previous steps on the test server, but unfortunately this time everything was normal, and nothing happened.
Liu Kewei, Cao Gong, and Ling Xingning exchanged worried glances with each other.
"Occasional bugs?" Liu Kewei asked softly.
Cao Gong pursed his lips and nodded, and Ling Xingning also lightly "um" in agreement, but Duan Shanshan, who had just come up, was a little confused about the situation, and asked in wonder, "What is an 'accidental' bug?"
Literally, it's a bug that is triggered by accident. Liu Kewei replied angrily, he simply pushed the executive planner away, and grabbed the keyboard and mouse to control the character to run around like a headless fly in the game scene.
Duan Shanshan still had a confused expression, but Liu Kewei was already focused on the test work, and he didn't have the heart to explain more for the time being. However, Ling Xingning on the side couldn't stand it anymore, and took the initiative to open his mouth to solve his doubts: "Occasional bugs cannot be reproduced according to the operation process, and they are very hidden, and they will increase the difficulty of planning and procedures at all stages of testing, submission, solution and inspection." ”
"Oh, I get it. Duan Shanshan nodded as if he had just woken up from a dream.
Ten minutes later, Liu Kewei impatiently pushed away the keyboard and mouse, gave up his efforts to continue to try his luck, stood up and stared coldly at the executive plan who restarted without authorization, and spoke very dissatisfied.
"I have said so many times, if you encounter any abnormal situation during the test, take a screenshot as soon as possible, keep the scene, and then submit a bug report, and then notify the program department to confirm the situation, why not follow the work process?"
The executive planner lowered his head red-faced, stipulating something, of course he knew, but when he really met it, it would inevitably be troublesome and time-prone. Worried that it may cause their test tasks to be delayed, or even overtime, so some "inconsequential small situations" are simply ignored.
"Have you encountered this bug before?" Ling Xingning, who was watching coldly, asked.
The executive planner nodded weakly.
Cao Gong, who had been silently watching, also interjected at this time: "Has anyone else encountered this bug?"
To their surprise, two of the other three executive planners hesitated and raised their hands one after another.
