Chapter 11 A Little Flustered

Tuesday morning.

Huang Sibao arrived at the entrance of the Shenhua Grand View building, feeling a bit dazed.

This game company called “Tengda Network Technology Co., Ltd.” was really operating inside Shenhua Grand View.

Huang Sibao knew about Shenhua Grand View; it was a high-end office building owned by Shenhua Real Estate. The companies that had offices here were all loaded with money.

Huang Sibao hadn't mustered the courage to go inside when a few promising young talents walked towards him.

They were all tall, handsome men and beautiful women in suits and ties, with dignified manners.

These were the young employees of an investment bank in Shenhua Grand View.

You could tell from a distance that they were promising young talents, future successful people.

Huang Sibao wanted to retreat right then and there.

He was a little flustered!

He had accidentally seen the recruitment information for Tengda Network Technology Co., Ltd. on a recruitment website over the weekend.

He felt that his qualifications met the requirements, so he submitted his resume.

As a result, he quickly received a reply. A female assistant with a sweet voice told him to come to the 17th floor of Shenhua Grand View at 10:00 AM on Tuesday for an interview.

The female assistant also sent an email with specific directions.

When Huang Sibao heard "Shenhua Grand View," he was a little shocked. Wasn't this one of the most high-end office buildings?

But after searching online for a long time, he couldn't even find the official website of "Tengda Network Technology Co., Ltd."

After searching online, he finally discovered that this was the company that made the games *Lonely Desert Road* and *Ghost General*!

He was ashamed to admit that he had played both of these games but didn't know that the company that made them was in Jingzhou…

He wasn't clear on the specifics of this company, but since it had successful games and operated in Shenhua Grand View, its conditions probably wouldn't be bad.

That might not be accurate. It wasn't that they probably wouldn't be bad, they were definitely much better than the company he currently worked for!

He was starting to worry about whether he could get the job.

Huang Sibao had switched careers midway and had only been in the industry for half a year. He was getting the lowest salary for an executive planner, 1500 yuan a month.

He worked overtime every day and was showing signs of premature balding.

So, when he accidentally browsed the job postings, he wanted to give it a try.

Even if he could maintain his current salary level by changing jobs, as long as he could work less overtime, he would be grateful.

But he also knew that his resume was really not very impressive, and the chances of him being rejected were very high.

Even in the small circle of the Jingzhou game industry, he was at the very bottom and might not even be as popular as some fresh graduates.

Especially after seeing the investment banking elites coming out in suits and ties, he felt quite inferior in his T-shirt and shorts.

He looked at the time, it was a little early.

Huang Sibao was afraid of being late, so he left early. He caught the bus smoothly and there wasn't much traffic, so he arrived a little early.

It wasn't good to just stand outside.

Huang Sibao had no choice but to muster his courage and walk into the magnificent lobby.

After explaining his intentions to the front desk, the staff arranged for him to register and gave him a temporary pass.

Huang Sibao pressed the elevator button, feeling his heart pounding.

He was more nervous than for the college entrance exam.

Perhaps because the lobby had a very high ceiling and luxurious decorations, he felt insignificant and inexplicably started to back down.

"Ding."

The elevator doors opened.

Huang Sibao was about to enter when he looked up and saw a familiar face, and he was stunned.

His immediate superior, the current lead planner of his company, Old Liu!

Yesterday afternoon, Huang Sibao had just called Old Liu to ask for leave, saying that he had urgent matters to attend to this morning, and Old Liu had approved it.

As a result, the two of them ran into each other this morning.

The scene was a little awkward.

The two of them were speechless.

But since they had bumped into each other, it wouldn't be appropriate to pretend that they hadn't seen each other.

Moreover, they both knew what the other was there for.

To interview at Tengda Network Technology Co., Ltd.!

The two of them were scheduled for interviews back-to-back, one in the first half and one in the second half.

Huang Sibao had no choice but to greet him proactively, "Brother Liu."

Old Liu looked terrible and was in a bad mood.

He was very satisfied with the work environment at Tengda, but the young punk interviewer told him to go back and wait for news!

Moreover, during his eloquent speech, the young punk interviewer didn't seem interested and seemed to be daydreaming.

This interview was probably a bust.

Old Liu was very unhappy.

With my resume and level of expertise, I'm a rare find in the entire Jingzhou game industry. How could this punk interviewer look down on me?

He's probably a rich second-generation playing around. This kind of company is doomed!

Of course, there was a bit of sourness in his emotions.

Seeing Huang Sibao, Old Liu felt even more irritated.

Huang Sibao had been working under Old Liu for half a year, assisting him.

He couldn't do anything right.

Old Liu was often so angry that he was fuming. He would tell Huang Sibao not to leave work until he finished his tasks, and sometimes, when he was unhappy, he would increase his workload.

How could this idiot even think of changing jobs?

And he wanted to jump to the same place as him?

Didn't he have any self-awareness of his own level?

Old Liu couldn't help but be sarcastic, "The requirements here are very high. You have no chance."

"You have time to run out for interviews, it seems like your workload isn't saturated. Go back and reconfigure the numerical tables."

Old Liu curled his lips and left.

"…"

Huang Sibao felt that he was doomed.

The requirements here were so high? They didn't even want a senior lead planner like Old Liu?

Then there was even less chance for a newbie like him who had been in the industry for less than half a year!

Moreover, Old Liu would probably make things difficult for him when he got back.

He couldn't report this to the boss; he couldn't complain.

If he went to complain, it would sound like: "Report, boss, Old Liu secretly went to interview at another company!"

The boss would ask, "How do you know?"

Huang Sibao would answer, "Because I went to the interview too, and I happened to see him!"

That wouldn't look good.

Maybe he should just quit!

Quit directly and live on savings, and then slowly look for a job.

He had no choice but to do that as a last resort.

Many thoughts flashed through Huang Sibao's mind.

Just as he was considering it, the elevator arrived at the 17th floor.

Huang Sibao walked out of the elevator and saw the sign for Tengda Network Technology Co., Ltd.

He took a peek inside, and Huang Sibao was shocked.

This was too impressive!

Behind the large front desk sat two beautiful front desk receptionists.

They were twins!

Jingzhou wasn't a big city, but it wasn't small either. It wasn't easy to find a pair of twin sisters to work as receptionists.

This showed the company's strength!

In fact, Huang Sibao was overthinking it.

Pei Qian didn't think so much when he was recruiting. He just wanted to find two or three pretty receptionists to put on a good front.

As a result, Xin Hailu didn't know where she found a pair of twin sisters, saying that it would help improve the company's image.

Of course, Pei Qian was happy and immediately paid them the highest market price for front desk and general administrative positions, 5000 yuan each per month!

That didn't sound like much, but in 2009, in Jingzhou, most receptionists only earned about 2000 yuan. Even if they were good-looking, they might get raised to around 3000 yuan, which was about it.

Pei Qian directly raised their salaries to 5000, which was already a very generous treatment.

Of course, Pei Qian didn't mind paying even more, such as giving them a monthly salary of 10,000 yuan, so that he could spend the money in his hands faster.

But at this time, a monthly salary of 10,000 yuan was a bit too exaggerated. Paying a receptionist a monthly salary of 10,000 yuan, even a pair of beautiful twins, wouldn't work.

The key was that the system wouldn't allow it.
