In February, more than a dozen interns came to the company.

Neon's interns are different from China's, where interns are not paid.

Whether it is a visitor-style internship in the freshman or sophomore year, or a formal internship in the junior year, there is no internship salary, and if the company can give them food and round-trip travel expenses, it can already be regarded as a conscientious enterprise.

Of course, the main reason is that after the bursting of the economic bubble, the number of companies decreased sharply, and the relationship between supply and demand caused by the increase in the number of people who needed to work became a situation of companies picking people.

In the '80s, in the era of the neon bubble economy, you had to offer a great internship stipend, and everyone else had to pick and choose to see if the company had a future.

It can only be said that times have changed too fast.

Therefore, many companies are using interns as regular employees, doing a lot of work, and the newcomers are tolerant, easy to talk, and cheap.

After using it, it is OK not to hire at all.

However, Qing Zhiyuan is a migrant worker who has been beaten by capital, so he treats interns very well, interns can receive half of the salary of the formal contract, and if they do well, they will get the company's adoption contract in advance.

And there are meal subsidies and travel subsidies.

In contrast, pokeni is simply an angel company, which also leads many interns to choose P company even though they feel that this company is not famous.

There are one or two interns for each position, and the number of interns is now higher than that of veteran employees.

"President, there are more and more people."

"yes." Qing Zhiyuan nodded, and put the drinking glass on Akane Ayase's table.

The latter glanced at it, and immediately ran to soak in the water and get it back.

"President, your water."

"Thank you."

Recently, in order not to change HR, Akane Ayase has been very active, and she has not complained that serving tea and pouring water is the secretary's job.

Qing Zhiyuan laughed in his heart, where is the secretary's matter so simple?

If it weren't for the company's lack of money, Qing Zhiyuan really wanted to recruit a caring secretary.

Otherwise, the more things happen, the less energy he has.

Recently, I have been feeling more and more tired.

Could it be ......

Is it the reason why you are approaching 30 years old?

"So, President, would you like to consider moving to a bigger place?" Akane Ayase asked with her eyes, "If you don't replace it, it'll be a little crowded." ”

"Hmm...... That's right. Qing Zhiyuan frowned, "But where did we get the money?" ”

“……”

Akane Ayase was choked by this sentence.

President, you are too weak, from 90 to the present, the company has obviously made a lot of money, and there have been a lot of famous works, but why is the account so tight?

even owed the bank 10 billion, and Akane Ayase was shocked.

Since there is no money, there is naturally no way to move a nest for the company.

Otherwise, Akane Ayase would like to change to a better office environment.,Now everyone is basically in a situation where people are next to people.,It's similar to closing a chicken coop.,If you continue like this, people's mood will become bad.。

"It shouldn't take long, though." Qing Zhiyuan smiled, "When our Diablo is released in Europe and the United States, we should be able to change to a larger office floor." ”

"Well, I hope so." Little HR doesn't have much hope for this.

"By the way, are there any good people among the new interns?" Qing Zhiyuan knocked on her table and asked.

Xiao HR looked around, leaned into Qing Zhiyuan's ear and said mysteriously, "It seems that it is generally rubbish." ”

"Poof......" Qing Zhiyuan almost didn't squirt out a mouthful of water.

"Haha, of course not exactly." Akane Ayase said with a smile, "Sakata-san seems to have found a very good original artist, and the level of painting is amazing, but the person is a little weird."

"Huh? Weird, can it be weird, is it even weirder than the Void Abyss? When Qing Zhiyuan heard this, he couldn't help but be a little concerned.

"No, no, who can compare to Wada-san in weirdness."

When she said this, Akane Ayase glanced at the old empty workstation with a little weakness, and saw that this guy Wada was holding his hands and touching his chin, not knowing what he was thinking.

But there's nothing to look forward to, right?

The longer Wada thought about it, the more panicked it became.

"That newcomer," Akane Ayase gestured to the window.

Qing Zhiyuan looked in the direction of her finger.

I saw a young man wearing black-framed glasses who looked a little thin, looking at the sky outside with his chin propped up.

It's like when you go to school, the boy sitting in the back row is in a daze.

Qing Zhiyuan couldn't help frowning.

An intern who doesn't care much about work?

What's the use of a higher level of original art?

"I seem to like to look at the sky very much, I look at the sky in a daze from time to time, I don't eat actively at noon, I don't eat with my colleagues, I lie on the rooftop, I like to watch the clouds."

"Isn't that weird, you say?" Akane Ayase said.

"Well, that's weird." Qing Zhiyuan silently scored in his heart.

Withdrawn, in a daze, and passive and slacking off, although Taiji Sakata said that he had a talent for painting, this person was terrible.

"What's your name?" Qing Zhiyuan asked casually.

"I have an impression of the name, it's called Makoto Shinjin."

"Huh?"

……

Hearing the name Xinjin Cheng, Qing Zhiyuan didn't react at first, and searched in his brain for a while before he remembered.

Shinjin Makoto, there is another name, called-

Makoto Shinkai.

This guy's original name was Xinjin Cheng, and he was a standard rich second generation, and the Xinjin family was a very famous family in the local area.

Makoto Shinkai belongs to the kind of legendary noble son who has to go back to inherit hundreds of millions of family properties if he doesn't do a good job of animation.

Makoto Shinkai is very talented in painting, and the animation production level is quite high, and he was even called a wallpaper maniac for a time.

The most famous is the animated film "Your Name" directed by him

"The Journey of Lingbud" also set a box office miracle for animated films when it was released in China.

In addition to these, "5 Centimeters per Second", "The Garden of Words", "The Child Chasing the Stars", "She and Her Cat", ......

They are all impressive and talked about animated films.

Makoto Shinkai in his previous life,He joined Pharaoh Control for an internship during college.,Later, after graduating in 1995, he went directly to Pharaoh Control and began to work.,It's just that this person's ambition has never been in the game industry.,So he came out and set up his own animation studio.。

It was in the Pharaoh's control that Makoto Shinkai became his royal soundtrack-

Gate of Heaven, Atsushi Shirakawa.

And now, both of them have arrived at Pokeni.

I have to say that fate is so wonderful.

Makoto Shinkai and Atsushi Shirakawa got together again, and they were still in their own company, which couldn't help but make Qing Zhiyuan feel a little emotional.

"This man is going to stay anyway." Qing Zhiyuan said seriously.

"Huh?" Akane Ayase looked at the president in surprise.

How did this man's attitude change so much?

There was a moment when Akane Ayase also produced-

The president didn't really want the illusion of this intern.

Unexpectedly, I still miscalculated the president's judgment!

……

At noon, Qing Zhiyuan and Akanishi Ken went to the rooftop to smoke together.

As soon as I got there, I saw Makoto Shintsu who was lying on a chair on the rooftop looking at the sky.

Ken Akanishi frowned slightly, "Hey, intern, what are you doing here?" ”

"Ah...... I'm sorry," Makoto Shinjin quickly got up from his seat.

Seeing that it was Chixi Jian and Qing Zhiyuan, he hurriedly bowed slightly, "President, ancestor." ”

"It's fine. It's us who bothering you. Qing Zhiyuan smiled indifferently, then raised his head to look at Shinjin Cheng, "Do you smoke?" ”

There is a difference between neon and China, if it is not the other party's initiative to ask for it, it is best not to scatter cigarettes casually, otherwise it is easy to cause disgust.

"Okay." Shinjin Makoto waved his hand, "Then one is good." ”

Qing Zhiyuan smiled, didn't care about the age difference, and handed him a cigarette.

Although smoking is not good for health, it has the advantage that it can quickly bring men closer together.

The three of them stood on the rooftop and smoked cigarettes, looking at the clouds outside the sky, indescribably relaxed.

And at this moment, there seems to be no sense of dignity and class, only because of the mood to relax after exhaustion.

In Makoto Shinkai's works, there are quite a few girls who smoke, and there is always an indescribable charm in these girls.

If it weren't for the girl Makoto Shinkai once admired, Qing Zhiyuan couldn't think of a reason to deliberately portray the details of smoking.

After a while, Qing Zhiyuan looked at the sky and sighed, "The sky is so good today." ”

"Huh?" Shinjin Makoto glanced back at him, first slightly stunned, and then nodded heavily and smiled, "Yes." ”

"The sea of stars, the romance of men, right?" Qing Zhiyuan smiled.

"That's right!"

……

In the afternoon, Reiko Yama, the editor of Golome, came to Pokeni with the photographer.

In order to interview the production team of the new work "People of Reverse Degree", which is about to be released.

"Is Mr. Furuhara still reluctant to show up this time?" Reiko Katayama asked with a smile.

"Well, I'm very sorry." Qing Zhiyuan nodded, "Moreover, the entire script content was completed by Xuyuan Xuan independently, even if there was no Gu Yuan Tsubaki, it would be the same to interview him." ”

Xuyuan Xuan raised his head slightly and looked at Qing Zhiyuan with a dazed expression.

Good guy, aren't you the ancient hara?

"Huh~ It's really mysterious, Mr. Tsubaki Furuhara." Reiko Katayama jokingly said, "If only I could dig up the exclusive information of Furuhara Tsubaki, then Guoletsu will definitely become popular." ”

"Hehe......" The cold sweat on Qing Zhiyuan's back immediately fell, and he smiled bitterly twice and said, "Even if you don't interview Furuhara Tsubaki, your company's magazine will be popular." ”

"Haha, then I'll borrow your auspicious words."

But it's not a big problem, Reiko Katayama feels that although she couldn't interview Furuhara Tsubaki, she has already made this realization.

Since the script is done by Xuan Yuan independently, there is a lot of content that can be written.

After chatting for a while, Reiko Katayama already has some preliminary understanding of this game, and of course, the most of this is an interview with Gen Xubuchi's creative process.

What the game thinks, why it does it, and so on.

In order to be able to give a unique and exclusive report in the magazine.

Xuan Xuyuan and Qing Zhiyuan are very cooperative, which also makes Reiko Katayama feel extremely happy.

Having said that, the president of Pokeni is really good-looking and approachable, and it is clear that Guoletong is a small magazine that has just opened for a short time, but the president receives them every time and provides a lot of first-hand materials.

Except for not being able to interview Tsubaki Furuhara, President Youth is simply an angel.

"President, I've almost recorded it, is there anything else you'd like us to report on in the magazine?" Reiko Katayama clasped her hands on her knees and looked at Qing Zhiyuan with a light smile.

Qing Zhiyuan had already come prepared, but he still pretended to think for two seconds, and said hesitantly, "If I can, I hope to publicize one more thing-

That's the game "The Man of Reverse Degree", which is a game that is perfect for boys and girls.

Even girls can get a special feeling from it. ”

"Huh? A galgame that girls can play? Reiko Katayama let out a soft sigh.

"Yes." Qing Zhiyuan nodded heavily, "We have adopted an unprecedented dual-view mode in the game. ”

"Dual perspectives?"

Reiko Katayama's eyes suddenly lit up.

It was the first time she had heard the word.

"Yes, in the game, players can choose the perspective of the male protagonist, or they can choose the perspective of the female protagonist to experience the game." Qing Zhiyuan smiled and said, "No matter which perspective you choose to play, you can get a good and complete experience."

Or, if we could, we would prefer that players try both perspectives to get new feelings and fill in what the other perspective doesn't have. ”

Lao Xu, this person is really a very talented and eccentric guy.

is obviously so unpopular with girls in friendship, and has made a lot of mistakes with straight male cancer, but the girls in his pen have unusually delicate thoughts.

What is the heart of the old void, Qing Zhiyuan can't see through it.

"Wow, if that's the case......" Reiko Katayama held her chin and thought quietly, then the corners of her mouth rose slightly.

"If that's the case, it would definitely be a good gimmick."

Although the previous "Mermaid Heart" is also a galgame that girls can play, it is because that game only has a single male protagonist and a single female protagonist, and from this point of view, it is a 1-on-1 pure love.

So at that time, Guo Letong gave the evaluation of [Galgame that girls can also play].

But if you dig deeper, the main perspective of "Mermaid Heart" is still that of the male protagonist.

Now, "The Man of Reverse Degree" is actually a dual perspective of the male and female protagonists, which is obviously a special design for girls.

"I have to say that P Society is really different, especially intimate and imaginative." Reiko Katayama sighed.

"By the way," before Reiko Katayama was about to leave, Qing Zhiyuan remembered something and added, "In this game, you can spoil a little bit of content. ”

He made a little gesture.

"Players always say that the galgame of P Society is too unfriendly to the heroine, and there is no game where the heroine is immortal.

So this time we don't go under the knife, both the hero and the heroine will live well. ”

"Huh?" Reiko Katayama was taken aback, the news was even more shocking than the double perspective just now, "Really? ”

"Of course it's true." Qing Zhiyuan nodded heavily, and exchanged glances with Xuyuan Xuan next to him.

Lao Xuan promised very seriously, "There is no death in "The Man of Reverse Degree", only rebirth. ”

……

The latest issue of Guoletong's journal came out and blew up directly.

Players were shocked when they saw the report about "The Man of Reverse Degree" [no death, only new life].

"Isn't this nonsense? How is it possible, is this still the P company I know? Didn't you go under the knife? ”

"This Nima, there was no knife that P Society didn't dare to send before, among the two onmyoji, the heroine died so much that she couldn't die anymore, and the Asakura Reimu in the 2nd generation still died infinitely.

At that time, I really wanted to strangle the old thief.

Did Pokeni change his ways this time? ”

"Huh? Pokeni actually has a day to be a man? ”

"It's not like the style of Tsubaki Furuhara."

"Could it be a mistake? In fact, the producer of "The Man of Reverse Degree" is Qing Zhiyuan, not Furuhara Tsubaki? ”

"It's possible, although Qing Zhiyuan doesn't have any talent, it's true that he doesn't use knives much."

"No, it's very clear in the report, it's the name of Furuhara Tsubaki."

"Huh? That's strange, does the old thief of the ancient plains actually have a time to change sex? ”

"With the name of the producer of Guyuan Tsubaki, coupled with this Void Abyss Xuan script, there is no reason not to send a knife no matter how you look at it."

"Maybe it's because of a conscience? The bad things were done before.,Condemned by the players.,They are now awake.,I feel that if I kill the heroine again.,It's too sorry for the players.,So they made the decision not to go to the knife? ”

"Hehe, I'd rather believe that dogs don't eat."

"Whether it's true or not, we'll know when "The Man of Reverse Degree" is released."

"If one of the heroes and heroines dies, I will send blades to the old thief!"

"Me too!"

……

Amid the cries and doubts of the players, time gradually passed and came to February 14, 1992.

This day is the day of the release of Pokeni's new work "The Man of Reverse Degree".

Furukawa Hirosawa and two male colleagues came to the store early.

"No matter how you look at it, this game is full of malice, right?" Furukawa said, stroking the surface of the cassette box.

"Yes, it was released on February 14th, Valentine's Day, what does that mean?" Kinoshita's brow furrowed.

Hayamigawa and Furukawa couldn't help but sympathize with them-

Just last month, Kinoshita's girlfriend put a hat on him, and then the two broke up.

Now all 3 of them are single.

"Playing galgame on Valentine's Day doesn't seem to be more poignant, right?" Hayamigawa let out a sigh.

Hearing their words, even the shopkeeper at the cashier couldn't help but sympathize.
