Chapter 10 The First Employee

Pei Qian suddenly felt that his road to losing money had become bright!

Before, he only had 50,000 yuan of system funds in his hand. It would be a bit much to use that little money to hire an employee.

But now, Pei Qian has 300,000 yuan of system funds!

Hiring an employee isn't too much, right?

After much deliberation, Pei Qian also summarized the lessons of his previous failures, which were nothing more than the following points.

First, bad luck!

Who knew that a garbage game he made casually would be targeted by a slightly famous up-loader in the game area?

If it weren't for this Qiao Laoshi, wouldn't he have lost all his money?

Secondly, Pei Qian also had some doubts about his abilities.

Is it because I'm too smart, so my way of losing money is wrong?

Some people try hard to make money but always fail and lose money in various ways.

And some people rack their brains to lose money, but they still can't!

Pei Qian felt that he seemed to be the latter.

So, he felt he should find someone to help.

Hire someone!

As long as he hires some slackers to be responsible for these tasks, wouldn't he be able to comfortably lose all the money?

With this thought, Pei Qian suddenly wasn't angry with Ma Yang anymore, even though he had just been scammed by Ma Yang.

"Ma Yang is simply a gift from heaven!"

"Such a talented slacker, isn't he the perfect employee I've been waiting for?"

"Should I consider other classmates too? Anyway, it's the same whether you're herding one sheep or a flock, and paying more salary can also lose more money."

"No, no! The other people are too reliable."

Pei Qian originally wanted to consider other classmates, but he quickly gave up.

After all, Handong University is also a key university. Those who can get in are at least not too low in intelligence.

A slacker like Ma Yang is a special case, hard to come by.

If he finds other people, they might actually get things done, and then Pei Qian would be left crying.

Having made up his mind, Pei Qian called Ma Yang out of the dormitory alone.

"What's wrong, Brother Qian? Do you have some secret tactics to tell me?" Ma Yang looked expectant, thinking that Pei Qian was going to talk to him about playing games.

"I've been making my own games recently, and I'm short of manpower. Are you interested?" Pei Qian directly got to the point. Ma Yang doesn't have many tricks up his sleeve, so it's better not to make it too complicated.

Ma Yang was stunned, then shook his head: "Don't mess around. There are so many classes this semester. Why are you doing these fancy things?"

He paused and said, "You wouldn't have been fooled by the illusion of indie game development, would you?"

"The success of *Lonely Desert Road* has a lot to do with luck. Moreover, making games costs money. Where does the money come from?"

Pei Qian coughed twice: "To tell you the truth, I'm actually a hidden rich second generation. My family gave me 300,000 yuan. Is that enough?"

Ma Yang opened his mouth and only managed to squeeze out a sentence after a long time.

"Are you serious? Not kidding me?"

Ma Yang didn't know much about Pei Qian's family background, but he also knew that Pei Qian wasn't the kind of person who would make fun of others for no reason. There was no need to play such a low-level joke on him.

Only then did Ma Yang take the matter a little more seriously.

"Besides money, what other problems are there?" Ma Yang asked.

Pei Qian asked back, "Besides money, are there any other problems?"

Ma Yang was stunned: "Can you do art? Can you program?"

Pei Qian shook his head: "No, but does that matter? Can't I just spend money to buy resources online and find someone to customize them?"

Ma Yang opened his mouth, finding it difficult to express his current mood.

Isn't this too childish???

You don't just spend money like that even if you have it!

Pei Qian patted him on the shoulder: "Put your mind at ease. I'm just asking you one question now. Are you willing to join? If you are, I'll reserve a position for you in the design team."

Ma Yang hesitated: "Brother Qian, logically speaking, since our relationship is so solid, I should unconditionally help you."

"But, we're both completely clueless about game development! Although this 300,000 yuan was given to you by your family, I think you should think carefully and not make a decision so easily."

"I'm afraid that if 300,000 yuan goes down the drain, I'll feel too sorry for you. I really can't come."

Pei Qian was speechless. He never expected that Ma Yang's conscience would become an obstacle to this matter...

But on second thought, it was true. Ma Yang was a bit stupid, but his character was impeccable. He was a standard good guy.

Pei Qian couldn't reveal the source of the funds, so he could only say that he was a rich second generation and that the money was given by his family. As a result, Ma Yang was afraid that Pei Qian would lose money, so he didn't want to join.

Pei Qian had no choice but to use a success story to prove himself: "Actually, I've already made a game, and I've already made money."

Ma Yang was stunned: "What game?"

"Cough, cough." Pei Qian coughed twice, "*Lonely Desert Road*."

"Pfft!" Ma Yang almost spat it out.

"You made that silly game?!" Ma Yang was shocked.

He had complained to Pei Qian before, saying that it was that dirty-hearted designer who made this cheating game. As a result, he complained to the person himself...

Pei Qian was also very helpless: "I really made it..."

The scene was once very awkward.

Ma Yang blinked, then suddenly gave a thumbs up: "Okay, not bad, Brother Qian! I didn't realize you had such a talent for game design! This game can become so popular. You're simply a genius! I knew I felt a strange sense of intimacy when I played this game before. So that's what it was!"

Pei Qian didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This old Ma changes his face really fast!

"Alright, alright, stop blowing rainbow farts. I'll just ask you one question, are you coming or not? I'll pay you a salary of 3,000 yuan a month, regardless of profit or loss, you don't have to be responsible." Pei Qian said.

This time Ma Yang's attitude was completely different. He nodded vigorously: "No problem, no problem. Then I'll follow you, Brother Qian. You know, although I don't have any advantages, I'm reliable!"

Knowing that Pei Qian had already made a successful game, Ma Yang felt that he wasn't just playing around, but was doing something with a promising future. Of course, he couldn't wait to join!

Pei Qian also deeply agreed with Ma Yang: "Yes, yes, I just like your reliability! Don't tell anyone else about this news. Among the classmates I know, I think you have the most talent. I haven't looked for anyone else."

Ma Yang beamed with joy: "No problem, no problem."

"Okay, that's it for now." Pei Qian didn't have anything else to say. "There's still a lot of preparatory work to do in the early stages. You can do whatever you want to do first. I'll tell you when there's progress."

Ma Yang nodded repeatedly: "Okay, don't worry. I'll make a trip to the bookstore this afternoon to see if there are any professional books and buy them to study. Don't worry, I definitely won't hold you back!"

Ma Yang turned around and went back to the dormitory to pack his things and prepare to go out.

"Actually, there's no need to buy professional books to study..."

Pei Qian shouted this sentence in his heart, but he raised his hand and ultimately said nothing.

He was a little skeptical about whether his decision to find Ma Yang was correct.

Could someone so responsible and reliable really cooperate with him to complete his goal...

But on second thought, based on his many years of understanding of Ma Yang, this guy was indeed reliable, but his ability was also limited.

Even if he let him read professional books, it wouldn't affect the overall situation.
