Chen Xu stayed in a film and television production company for a while and learned about the progress of animated films. I turned around and went to the game production company opposite.

Currently, the game production company has three projects working on at the same time, which are small games of different genres.

The person in charge of the company told him that at present, the company's website has received dozens of applications from game production teams to make VR games. More than a dozen copies of the plan were received.

Of course, most of this is a matter of luck, and the level is not very good. After screening, there are less than ten valuable ones.

Chen Xu didn't know much about the game and didn't give any opinions. Let's let Luo Xiyun call the shots.

Next, he went to see the three production teams, and they were much faster than the animated films, because the scenes were simpler, the graphics were not so demanding, and the production was not so time-consuming.

Among the three games, one is a zombie shooter with three-dimensional visuals, one is a maze game, and the other is a role-playing game.

Chen Xu communicated with them to see if they encountered any problems that were difficult to solve in the production process of the game, and collected them so that they could be improved next time.

He is the company's Chief Technology Officer. It's his control.

Before you know it, it's already dark.

Chen Xu saw that they didn't mean to leave yet, so he asked the person in charge, "Everyone has to work overtime tonight, right?" ”

The person in charge of the company is a woman, surnamed Liu, who was dug from another company, mainly responsible for administrative management, she replied, "Yes, Mr. Chen, the product is about to be listed, and the time is very tight, so everyone has worked hard and stayed and worked overtime every day." ”

"How is overtime pay calculated?"

"They are all distributed in accordance with national standards."

"Well, you can calculate it however you want, and there must be no deductions. We will be a world-class company in the future, you remember. ”

"I see, Mr. Chen." Manager Liu flattered, "It is the luck of the employees that the company has a leader like you." ”

Chen Xu remembered one thing, and said, "Also, it's time for dinner, I invite all the employees to eat, and you arrange for people to go to the restaurant opposite, and pack them back for them according to the standard of 100 yuan per person." Tomorrow you contact my secretary with the invoice and ask her to reimburse you. ”

Manager Liu said, "Then I'll tell you the good news." ”

As she spoke, she ran into the office, and soon cheers rang from inside.

Chen Xu smiled, said hello to Manager Liu, and left.

He had worked for several years before, and he knew the hardships of part-time work, and if conditions permitted, he wanted to be as good as possible to his employees, at least in terms of salary, and not treat them badly.

In fact, whether it is a laboratory, a data center, or Yunxu Company, they all rely on him to solve the most difficult part, and I don't know how much money is saved just because of the development cost. If you still think about squeezing employees' overtime pay, it's too low.

When Chen Xu went downstairs, he took out his mobile phone, called the driver, and said, "You go back first, you don't have to send me tonight." Well, right. ”

After sending the driver away, he hailed a car online, a white Volkswagen.

It's the same car, and sitting on this Volkswagen, it feels very different. In addition to the difference in configuration, there is also a difference in identity.

Since he earned billions of dollars with patent licensing, his status has been completely different, and the people around him have a respectful attitude towards him.

It's really fulfilling, and no one doesn't want to be respected and valued in other ways.

However, after a long time, every time others see you, they have such an attitude, and it feels quite boring. When Luo Xiyun and the others were around, they didn't feel it yet. None of them were there now, and in the face of these people, he couldn't help but feel a sense of loneliness.

So, he sent the driver away.

Sitting in this car, I was detached from my original identity and felt a lot more relaxed. Looking at the night scene outside, chatting with the driver about what is not there, it seems to be back to the previous life.

…………

Chen Xu got off the car near a commercial street, and then found a chain fast food restaurant, which happened to be a meal at this time, and when there were the most people in the fast food restaurant, when he went in, there was almost no space.

He just likes the lively atmosphere in the store. I ordered a single set meal and sat down with a meal. As soon as I looked up, through the glass, I saw a 2003 noodle shop across the street.

What a coincidence.

He was a little surprised, in the past few months, the noodle restaurant has entered a state of rapid expansion. The main thing is that he invested some money in it later and got back the controlling stake.

After having enough funds, Old Tang also let go. In the past few months, more than a dozen branches have been opened.

He is also busy, and it is impossible to go there in person when the branch opens as before. The situation of the noodle shop can only be understood through reports. I really don't know where it is.

Unexpectedly, Lao Tang opened the noodle restaurant here.

In the period after the physical store enters the severe cold, the rent of the shop is not cheap in such a bustling commercial street. Previously, there was a lack of funding, and there are no similar plans for the time being. It can only be said that Old Tang's movements are fast enough.

However, he has looked at the noodle restaurant's financial statements last month, and the financial situation is quite healthy.

From this location, there are quite a lot of customers in the noodle shop. Business is no worse than this fast food restaurant.

"Borrow it."

Suddenly, he heard someone passing behind him say something, and felt that the voice was quite familiar, and when he looked back, he was really an acquaintance, "Liu Xiaoshang?" ”

When the man heard someone calling him, he turned his head and looked surprised, "Chen Xu, why are you here?" ”

Liu Xiaoshang, Chen Xu's college classmate, was his deputy class president at that time. Last year's New Year, he and Yang Jinxia also went to drink his wedding wine together.

In reality, less than a year has passed since this happened. But for Chen Xu, it can be regarded as an old thing.

"I'll do something." Chen Xu was very happy when he saw his old acquaintance, "What about you, it's so late, and you don't want to go home yet?" ”

"Hey, isn't it almost the end of the year, the company has a lot of things, overtime."

It just so happened that the person next to Chen Xu left, Liu Xiaoshang sat down, and after putting the things away, he sighed, "The economic situation this year is not very good, the salary has not risen, and the overtime is increased every day, what is 996, it is really terrible." It's like you, being your own boss, chic. ”

Not long after the Spring Festival last year, the two made an appointment to have dinner together. Liu Xiaoshang knew about his opening of a noodle restaurant.

Chen Xu smiled and diverted the topic, "You don't go home for dinner, your wife has no opinion?" ”

"When I go back, I also eat takeout. After getting married, she didn't cook a single meal. You might as well eat outside. Liu Xiaoshang shook his head and said a little depressed.
