Chapter 161: Under the East Window
The Minerva Building of the Naxon Head Office is directly opposite the famous Seonneung Park in Seoul. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoActually, it should be called Xuanling Jingling Park.
Because in addition to burying the ninth monarch of the Korean Lee dynasty, King Seongjong and his step-concubine Queen Jeonghyon (Empress Gonghui died early and had no heirs, and was not buried in the mausoleum), there are also two of them's sons, the eleventh monarch Zhongzong King Li Yi (between Chengzong and Zhongzong, there is also a tenth monarch Li Long, who is the half-brother of Zhongzong, who was deposed by the ministers and demoted to Yanshanjun because of his cruel and rigid personality).
Nestled in the heart of Gangnam-gu, Seoul's commercial hub, the park is surrounded by commercial offices, hypermarkets, and the famous coex_mall of cinemas, nightclubs, bookstores, video stores, and aquariums (one of the largest entertainment and shopping malls in Korea with more than 100,000 daily visitors).
Surrounded by the most bustling and noisy modern urban environment, Seolneung Park is a rare place to relax and unwind for many Seoulians.
Because of this, business has always been good at cafes and health centers near the park.
In the double steam room of a wellness center, a middle-aged man wearing a cotton pale yellow short-sleeved shorts steam suit and a hat made of towels on his head sat cross-legged on a cushion on the floor.
On the low table in front of him, there was a teapot and two teacups, which looked like they were waiting for someone.
The middle-aged man lowered his head and let out one or two long sighs from time to time, and his mood seemed to be very irritable.
He sat alone in the room for a while, and then the door was pushed open, and a young man dressed like him entered.
"Zheng Zuo, you suddenly asked me out, is there anything wrong? You don't really come here for sweating, right?"
The young man used honorifics, but there was no element of deference in his words.
Hearing the sound of him opening the door and walking in and talking, the middle-aged man sitting on the floor raised his head suddenly, and greeted with a little pleading and flattering expression: "Eun Seok, you are here, sit down, sit down." ”
Lee Eun-seok smiled slightly, but he was not polite, and sat down on the cushion opposite Jung Young-seok very simply, his relaxed posture was even more like a master than the other party who asked him out.
"The last time I told you...... Something went wrong. Zheng Yingxi picked up the teapot, poured a cup of jujube tea for each party, and diligently picked up a cup and handed it to the other party, "This tea is not bad, it is said that it has various effects of repelling cold, beauty, recovering fatigue, and relieving stress, Eun Seok, you can also try it!"
At first, he stared at Zheng Yingxi with a smile for a long time, and the other party became more and more uneasy, and then Lee Eun-seok picked up the teacup in front of him and took a small sip.
"What did you mean by what you told me last time?" asked Lee Eun-seok in a leisurely manner after putting down the teacup.
"That's what I asked people to poach in that studio!" Jung Young-seok replied, thumping his thigh, annoyed.
"Well, didn't I just tell you at the time, we may not be able to dig up the real core people, and what we can dig up are basically inconsequential pawns, so I advise you not to dig them. Why, did you really do this?" Lee Eun-seok laughed for a while, "You said something in trouble, did you mean being rejected?"
Zheng Yingxi continued to beat his thighs and said with a long sigh: "It's ten times worse than that! Today, Zhao Cangting and Agent Kwon ran to my office, and after blowing the other employees away, they showed me a recording, which I said when I sent that guy to poach the corner......
"Hahahaha!" Lee Eun-seok couldn't help but burst out laughing, and although he immediately lowered his head and tried his best to suppress his emotions, he could still feel it from the violent exhalation sound coming from his constantly twitching shoulders and nasal cavity, and he was holding back his laughter very hard.
Jung Young-seok snorted angrily, but there was no sign of annoyance, and he smiled bitterly and laughed at himself: "It seems that I really did a stupid thing! ”
"Senior, you misunderstood, I didn't mean to laugh at you. I just think that this matter has been made into a business war spy war novel or film and television drama by you like this, and it is also recorded! Lee Eun-seok raised his head, with a few laughing tears in his eyes, and shook his hand in denial.
"Hey, I was quite proud at the time, I thought I might have found a breakthrough, but I didn't expect it to end up like this!" Jung Young-seok continued to pound his thighs and continued to sigh.
"And what about later? As long as you don't admit it, they can't do anything to you, right? Even if you really have to start a lawsuit, because it usually involves illegal evidence, most of these recordings can't be used as evidence in court. Lee Eun-seok asked with interest.
After picking up the red date tea in front of him and drinking it all, Zheng Yingxi told Zhao Cangting and Quan Yonghuan about the follow-up process of holding the airship project and forcing him to sign the alliance under the city.
"I really can't stand this breath when they are forced into a corner like this!Eun-seok, do you have a way to give them a little bit of power? You can't let them continue to be so proud!" said Jung Young-seok through gritted teeth.
Lee Eun-seok looked at the senior in front of him in a daze, and then shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly.
Really, how could he have regarded this senior as an ally who could use his strength? With his clumsy mind and means, it is incredible that he can achieve things, no wonder he has worked in the company for so long and has come up with so many products, but his status has become more and more marginalized.
That's it, since he dragged people into the same boat, he couldn't say anything without mentioning a few words, and as for whether this senior's struggle technique could improve after mentioning it, it was his own business.
"Senior, to be honest, I'm curious, you're so obsessed with going to the threesome to dig people, I've persuaded you, and you haven't listened at all, what is the motive?"
Jung Young-seok was stunned for a moment, and said sneeringly: "I just want to make some trouble for them!" You and I are both producers, and you also understand that even in our studio, even if you are not a peripheral programmer in charge of the core system, if one is suddenly poached, it will affect the progress of research and development. What's more, if the programmer really removes the comments in the code and leaves the company as I requested, even if they find a successor, the functionality will be similar to starting from scratch. ”
"Yes, I know, but what can it be? It's just another person and a little more time. The R&D work can continue, right?" said Lee Eun-seok patiently.
Jung Young-seok nodded, but his face was full of doubts that were incompatible with the nodding action, "Well, Eun-seok, what do you want to say? I'm old and my brain is not as fast as you young people, so you can say it quickly." ”
Lee Eun-seok patted the back of his neck depressedly, with an expression of rising blood pressure. However, since they have said the beginning, the communication still has to continue, so he simply changed the more simple way of expression and raised two fingers: "Usually when we want to do something, we will first consider two questions, the first question is 'If I succeed, what will it bring?' The second question is 'If I fail, what price will I pay?'"
Jung Young-seok blinked, trying to digest and understand the other party's thoughts.
"Let's just say that you sent someone to poach the threesome, and if it succeeds, can you just end their project or dissolve the studio? Unfortunately, this is impossible. Ideally, you'll find someone you want to dig, but the threesome just needs to change the programmer and spend a little more time. So the benefits of this matter are small and in my opinion simply negligible. Lee Eun-seok shook his head, sighed regretfully and continued, "But in case of failure, in the worst-case scenario, have you considered what price you will pay? For example, like now, it directly angers Director Zhao and Special Minister Quan, so that they can justifiably attack your project, and they can also use the name of being forced to fight back, so that you ......can't talk about it."
"Makes sense! Why didn't you say it earlier?" Jung Young-seok nodded his head as if he were pounding garlic as if he had just woken up from a dream.
How do I know that you are so immature at your age?
"When I was in college, I had a tutor who was a fan of Sinology, and the person he admired the most was Sun Wu, and there were two sentences in Sun Tzu's Art of War that often hung on his lips, that is, 'Those who are good at defending are hidden under the nine earths, and those who are good at attacking are moving above the nine heavens, so they can protect themselves and win all.' 'And' is as swift as the wind, as swift as a forest, as plundering as fire, immobile as a mountain, unknowable as a cloud, and moving as a thunderstorm. Both of these sentences include the same meaning, that is, when attacking others, it is necessary to do a good job of concealment, and the ideal situation is that the opponent has no vigilance at all before the attack, and the opponent does not know where the attack came from after the attack. ”
It may be because these two Chinese sentences that Li Eun-seok suddenly came out of nowhere, which were too tall for Zheng Yingxi, so the latter completely looked like a duck listening to Lei's ignorant expression, and the four big characters "Unknown Sense" were written on his face.
"Alas!" I don't know if this is the first time Lee Eun-seok sighed today, "For example, in fact, today on Tiensiti's side, the closed beta version of "Happy Planet" will be stuffed into an overloaded server on the grounds that "Happy Planet" will not be deleted in the closed beta. The reasons are above board, the behavior is justified, and no one can find fault with it. If nothing else, Director Zhao and the others can only swallow this dumb loss, and there is no place to find someone to reason, this is a dignified and upright plan! But what about the result? According to the test feedback, the phenomenon of network delay is very serious, and it is estimated that it will greatly reduce the evaluation of this game in the minds of those Celestial Empire operating companies, and no one will want it at all when it is not good to bid for the agency, and in the end it can only be reluctantly stuffed to Tienxiti to operate!"
"Is there such a thing?" hahaha......" Zheng Yingxi was startled at first, and then laughed happily, laughing and laughing suddenly thought of something, and suddenly changed to a look full of surprise and stared at Li Eun-seok and asked, "But what happened today in Shencheng, how did you know about what happened today......?"
Meeting Jung Young-seok's gaze, the corners of Lee Eun-seok's lips showed a little demonic and unfathomable smile.
