Chapter 138 Understanding the Tengda Spirit

December 27th, Monday.

Tengda Network Technology Co., Ltd.

Wu Bin took a deep breath, calming himself down.

In the blink of an eye, a week had passed.

It was time for the second Tengda spirit compatibility test.

Although this wasn't the last chance, he really couldn't afford to delay any longer.

Interns weren't allowed to do any actual work. Passing this test a week later meant he could only officially start working a week later.

This was simply too unbearable!

Wu Bin realized for the first time that not being able to work, having nothing to do at work every day, was such a painful thing.

Fortunately, this time, Hao Yun, the head of the department, secretly asked Li Yada, the head of the game department, and brought Wu Bin the secret to passing the test.

The secret was very simple, only two points: think more, and try every possible way to complete the tasks assigned by President Pei.

Although it was a bit too brief, it was at least a very good direction.

During the weekend, Wu Bin conducted a deep reflection on his first attempt.

He realized that he had probably answered the question about President Pei asking for overtime incorrectly.

The correct answer should be: no overtime on normal days, only if President Pei personally requests it!

And President Pei's open letter on the internal forum basically confirmed this point.

Thinking of this, Wu Bin walked into the examination room with confidence.

The crisp sound of mouse clicks echoed in the conference room.

There were even more new recruits participating in the Tengda spirit compatibility test this time than last time, reaching more than 30 people.

Although three employees had passed the last test, after the last test, another group of new employees had completed their resignation procedures at their original companies and officially joined Tengda.

Therefore, the number of employees participating in the test had actually increased.

The expressions on these new faces varied.

Some were puzzled by the questions, while others dismissed them with disdain.

Wu Bin knew that most of these two types of people would not be able to pass the Tengda spirit compatibility test carefully prepared by President Pei.

Obviously, many departments of Tengda Group had already privately inquired about the secret to passing the test.

But, with the same secret, the key was how much one could understand!

Wu Bin felt that this ability to comprehend was probably one of the qualities that President Pei wanted to focus on examining!

He began to answer the questions seriously.

Wu Bin was slightly surprised to find that 70% of the questions this time were different from the last test.

Some questions simply changed a few words, but the meaning was completely different; while others were completely unfamiliar, he had never seen them before.

As for those same questions, there were also subtle changes in the options.

In short, they were extremely confusing!

In the previous test, Wu Bin answered completely according to his first instinct, answering very quickly.

But this time, Wu Bin answered very, very slowly.

For each question, he repeatedly read the question, speculated on the intention of the question, and then repeatedly compared the four options to find the one most compatible with the Tengda spirit.

After choosing one, he would bring the option back into the question and check it repeatedly.

Soon, someone had already finished answering.

But without a doubt, they had not passed the test.

Various voices soon rang out in the conference room.

"Ah?"

"This..."

"Hiss..."

"Damn!"

Under the gaze of the administrative staff supervising the exam, these people left one after another, with varying expressions.

Some were full of doubts and confusion, some were incredulous and shocked, and some even broke down emotionally on the spot, with tears in their eyes.

Obviously, some people were retaking the test for the second time, but still failed to pass.

Wu Bin answered even more carefully.

In the end, only a small number of people remained in the entire conference room.

Wu Bin finished answering all the questions, looked at the time, and there was less than ten minutes left.

"Hoo... I didn't manage the time very well."

"Submit it!"

Although there was still time, the test software did not allow going back to review and check the answered questions.

But fortunately, President Pei had prepared enough time for answering the questions, so even if Wu Bin answered slowly like this, there was still some time left.

Wu Bin guessed that this might be a hint from President Pei, allowing everyone to have enough time to dig out the deep meaning hidden behind the questions.

Wu Bin's trembling hand held the mouse and clicked the "Submit" button.

A line of words instantly appeared on the screen: Congratulations, you have passed the test!

"Yes!!!"

Wu Bin almost shouted out in excitement.

He passed!

He had finally gained President Pei's approval and officially become a member of Tengda!

Wu Bin wasn't sure how to describe this wonderful feeling.

He felt that after answering this entire set of test questions, his spirit had sublimated!

At this moment, he suddenly had an epiphany.

He suddenly realized that his previous years of work experience and the experiences he had summarized at Hengtu Games were all wrong, and completely wrong!

Of course, this error wasn't in him.

It was that Hengtu Games itself was in a wrong environment, so he was led astray.

Tengda Group was far more successful than Hengtu Games, so Tengda's way of working was the right one!

Now, Tengda was using this spirit compatibility test to reverse his original incorrect way of working!

Wu Bin happily returned to his work station, and the first thing he did was open a document and quickly record his心得 (xinde, insights).

"Why has President Pei repeatedly emphasized not letting employees work overtime? Even if they work overtime, he strictly controls the amount of overtime and pays sufficient overtime pay?"

"Obviously, President Pei has seen the enormous damage that overtime does to employees' creativity!"

"Other companies only see the immediate short-term benefits, saving costs by squeezing employees."

"But in the long run, overtime will lead to a decrease in employees' work enthusiasm, a decrease in creativity, and a decrease in efficiency."

"Some companies force employees to work twelve hours a day, but because employees' efficiency declines and their enthusiasm for work is not high, the amount of work completed is still the same."

"And Tengda, by forcing employees to complete these tasks within eight hours a day, is requiring employees to improve their work efficiency and creativity, completing the work that other companies can only complete with overtime!"

"Whether it's strictly controlling the amount of overtime or paying sufficient overtime pay, it's all to maintain employees' work enthusiasm as much as possible!"

"Therefore, the true meaning of the Tengda spirit compatibility test is not to encourage employees to be slackers, but to screen out those employees who truly work hard!"

"Are employees who work twelve hours a day hardworking employees?"

"No! On the contrary, at Tengda, these employees are employees with low work efficiency. They only work overtime to show their leaders; it's not real effort, just a superficial show."

"In President Pei's view, under the premise of completing tasks, not working overtime means high work efficiency, means knowing how to combine work and rest, and knowing how to balance work and life!"

"Only employees like the latter can maintain a healthy body, an active mind, and a limitless imagination in the long career ahead, rather than having their bodies crushed, their fighting spirit worn down, and their imagination distorted by long hours of overtime."

"This is true long-term vision!"

"Therefore, the Tengda spirit should not simply be not working overtime, nor should it be simply obeying everything that President Pei assigns."

"The Tengda spirit should be learning to balance life and work. Not working overtime is to always maintain a healthy body and a good working state, so that one's career is smoother and the company's development is better, achieving a win-win situation!"

"Although on the surface, this test is encouraging us to obey everything that President Pei assigns without reason, this is obviously not President Pei's ultimate goal."

"Otherwise, he wouldn't have to go to such lengths, creating such a set of test questions for everyone to guess."

"Only by understanding this level of spirit can one pass this test. This shows that what President Pei wants is not a puppet that listens to everything he says, but someone who can truly understand his intentions, has good enough comprehension, and has a strong ability to think independently!"

"President Pei must have been using this standard to screen talents all along, which is why Tengda is so full of talent!"

"And if the interview process continues according to this standard, the future of Tengda... is limitless!"

Wu Bin felt that his three views as an HR professional had been completely subverted.

In the past, the HR work he saw was nothing more than hiring people, lowering prices, poaching people, and trying to kick out old employees.

But now, President Pei had given him a lesson.

Many companies regard employees as adversaries, trying every possible way to squeeze employees' interests, resulting in employees having no enthusiasm for work. Once this trend is formed, it will seriously affect the company's future development.

But here at Tengda, the interests of the company and its employees are consistent, which is a harmonious and win-win relationship!

Wu Bin felt that he had completely understood.

He decided to record his insights completely.

In the future, he must apply the Tengda spirit to his HR work and must not let down President Pei's good intentions!

...

...

Tuesday.

In his office, Pei Qian was checking the results of the second Tengda spirit compatibility test.

A total of 35 people participated in the test this time, and 12 of them passed.

The pass rate had obviously increased!

Pei Qian couldn't help but nod slightly. It seemed that everyone's understanding of the Tengda spirit was progressing quickly!

However, there were also more than a dozen new employees who had failed twice in a row.

When the one-month internship period arrived, if these people still failed to pass the Tengda spirit compatibility test, then he could only say "very sorry."

Pei Qian didn't feel sorry for these people at all.

They were all die-hards who were single-mindedly thinking about working overtime. These people should not become Tengda employees!

Only by clearing these hidden dangers as soon as possible could he rest easy!

...

At her workstation, Li Yada updated the two stable versions of GOG for the last time.

One was the normal version, and the other was the version modified according to the opinions of Yuemeng Ventures.

After so much modification, these two versions finally looked a bit human.

Although the balance was still problematic, at least it looked like a serious game in the test version, no longer like a rough and shoddy semi-finished product.

The bugs had also been fixed almost, and this version was basically stable.

Of course, there would definitely be more bugs if it was updated again, but at least that wasn't a problem that needed to be worried about in the short term.

Li Yada knew that at least she could rest assured during the five days she was away.

After returning in five days, she could collect some player feedback and make another round of development and changes.

Just as Li Yada was about to shut down her computer, she suddenly discovered that Hao Yun from the Human Resources Department had sent her a document.

The title of the document was "Interpretation of the Tengda Spirit (Speculative Version)."

"Huh? What is this?"

Li Yada was a little puzzled and clicked to open the document.
