Chapter 89 Holiday

The selection of outstanding employees was over. After exchanging "Happy New Year" greetings, everyone left to prepare for their holiday and return home.

Just as Pei Qian was about to leave, Li Yada caught up with him.

"President Pei, wait! I still have questions about the trip…"

Pei Qian stopped and smiled. "Feel free to ask anything. If it can be solved with money, don't look for me. Just ask the finance department for reimbursement."

Li Yada hesitated for a moment. "President Pei, could this trip be postponed a little?"

"The Spring Festival is just a few days away, so the holiday must be staggered, right? And I'm now the head of the game department, and if I leave for a month, a lot of work won't be able to proceed."

"My idea is that after returning from the Spring Festival, I'll spend some time arranging the game department's affairs before the end of February, and then go on the trip from March 1st to March 31st. Would that be okay?"

Pei Qian thought about it. What Li Yada said did make some sense.

The settlement would be on March 31st, and the entire month of March was a crucial period for GOG to refine game details and improve game quality.

GOG had already started testing, and the framework was already in place, so there wouldn't be a situation where the game development wasn't completed and the settlement was delayed.

If Li Yada went on the trip after the Spring Festival, she could come back two weeks before the settlement. At that time, she could make a lot of modifications, and there might be some variables.

If she went on the trip in March, she wouldn't be able to come back until after the settlement. With no leader in Tenda's game department, it would be more beneficial for Pei Qian.

Thinking of this, Pei Qian readily agreed, "Okay, let's postpone it to March 1st."

"Thank you for your understanding, President Pei!" Li Yada pushed up her glasses and left.

Immediately, Li Yada felt a little strange.

Why did postponing the vacation require President Pei's understanding? Something seemed a bit off…

"Brother Qian, when are you planning to go home?" Ma Yang was hugging a box of chocolates and devouring them.

He didn't expect that he would win third place in the outstanding employee selection. Although there was no substantial reward, he was very happy and felt that his work had been unanimously recognized by all Tenda employees.

Pei Qian said indifferently, "I'll pack up my things this afternoon and leave."

His attitude towards Ma Yang was slightly cold, not only because Ma Yang's investment in IOI had hurt him deeply, but also because Ma Yang's performance on the exam had completely crushed him again…

Pei Qian was annoyed when he thought about how long he had studied, but he still didn't do as well as Ma Yang.

Ma Yang didn't notice the subtle change in Pei Qian's attitude at all. While chewing on chocolate, he said, "Okay, Brother Qian, I'll see you after the New Year!"

"Because of the exam, I didn't have time to pay too much attention to the affairs of Round Dream Ventures. When I come back after the New Year, I will do my best to invest in some more profitable projects!"

Pei Qian: "…"

…

After returning to his residence, Pei Qian packed up his things a little.

Before, when he went home, he carefully put away all the things that might expose his identity and wore cheap-looking clothes.

But this time, Pei Qian deliberately picked out a few newer clothes, and replaced his phone and computer with new ones.

He had to give his parents a little hint.

The house he bought would be ready for occupancy around the end of February or the beginning of March. Counting the days, it was almost time.

When he told them directly that he bought a house, his parents might have a hard time accepting it at first, and they would inevitably ask a lot of questions to get to the bottom of it.

This year, he would give them a little hint that their son had started making money, and quite a bit of it, so that they could be mentally prepared in advance.

Pei Qian had already thought of what to say. He would say that Fei Huang Workshop's work had been going smoothly recently, and that he had joined Fei Huang Workshop as a manager. His current income, added together, was about fifteen thousand a month.

Plus the miscellaneous bonuses, he had saved enough for the down payment on the house. Although he had to pay the monthly mortgage, it wasn't too much pressure.

This couldn't be called a lie, it was just that Pei Qian was telling part of the truth.

Fei Huang Workshop's recent development was very good, that was right, wasn't it?

Pei Qian had become a member of the management of Fei Huang Workshop, that was also right, wasn't it?

Averaging fifteen thousand a month, that wasn't a big problem, he was even understating it.

In short, while explaining the source of the funds for the house, he should try not to be too high-profile to avoid unnecessary trouble.

…

At the same time.

The Qidian Chinese Website author training class in Jingzhou was also officially on holiday.

The training class officially started on January 17th, lasting for a month, until February 17th.

But the Spring Festival holiday had to be given, of course.

After February 17th, the website would select the second batch of authors, and the two training classes would be seamlessly connected.

This was because the training class was still just a pilot system and hadn't been truly established.

If it was really determined that the training class was of great help to the author's creation, the training class could become a permanent fixture, and the duration might be extended from one month to three months.

If it was found after a period of time that the expenses were high and it was useless, it might be canceled.

But from the current situation, the training class had been remarkably effective.

The authors who participated in the training class were saying goodbye to each other.

"Brother Cui, I'm leaving, waiting for you to release your new book during the New Year!"

"Everyone can contact me in the group if you have anything, remember to send red envelopes in the group during the New Year, big guys!"

"Great Master Mingyu, don't forget my chapter recommendation!"

Cui Geng was also saying goodbye to everyone.

Although he was now a special observer of Tenda Group, he was still a member of the training class.

After asking for a few chapter recommendations with weight for his new book, Cui Geng took a taxi to the airport.

In the taxi, he suddenly felt his mind brimming with ideas and couldn't help but want to write, so he took out his laptop from his backpack and created a new document.

He entered the title: Butterfly Game.

In the days before the holiday, he had been chatting with Bao Xu, who was known as the "living fossil of Tenda," to gather material, and learned many interesting things about the early days of Tenda's founding.

These were all materials that could be written into the book.

He quickly typed the first line and started the story.

"Well, I can write several versions of the beginning in these three days, save up some drafts, and then revise them."

"That way, I can release the book on the first day of the New Year and wish everyone an early New Year!"

Cui Geng's eyes seemed to be shining with a strange brilliance, as if an inspiration was about to burst forth.

…

Tenda Games Department.

Li Yada called the three newcomers in the game department over to arrange work in advance.

These three people were Hu Xianbin, Min Jingchao, and Zhang Nan, the three people who had successfully passed the Tenda spirit compatibility test on their first try.

Although President Pei didn't explicitly praise these three people, Li Yada felt that since these three people were able to pass the Tenda spirit compatibility test on their first try, they must have some outstanding qualities in some aspects.

Since they were excellent talents selected by President Pei, they should be entrusted with important tasks!

"On March 1st, I will be going on a trip, and the work of the game department will be handed over to the three of you."

"Xianbin, I feel that your comprehension is the best. After returning from the Spring Festival, I will take you to familiarize yourself with the entire workflow and adapt to the work of the executive lead planner in advance. You will be responsible for promoting the future work progress."

"Jingchao, you have experience working in the finance department and have a good foundation in mathematics. Please consult Brother Bao more about the numerical balance of GOG, and you will be responsible for the numerical balance in the future."

Finally, Li Yada looked at Zhang Nan, the only girl among the three: "You have done costume design before, so you will take the lead in designing the hero character skins in GOG."

Min Jingchao immediately said, "Don't worry, Sister Li, I have been busy with the work of numerical adjustment recently, so I should be able to get started quickly."

Zhang Nan also nodded, "I have recently designed several sets of skins, and the feedback has been good. After the New Year, I will hand these designs to the outsourced artists and let them create new skins for these heroes."

Only Hu Xianbin hesitated a little, "Sister Li, I just joined the company two months ago, and I'm going to be the executive lead planner? This… is it okay?"

Li Yada smiled slightly, "It's okay."

"How do you think the previous executive lead planners of Tenda Games were selected?"

Hu Xianbin: "Huh?"

Li Yada showed a meaningful smile.

From Huang Sibao to Lü Mingliang, and then to Li Yada, they were all inexperienced before becoming the lead planner.

There were many old employees in the game department, and their qualifications might be older than Li Yada's.

But they had become accustomed to their jobs and weren't very interested in the position of executive lead planner.

They also didn't think that it was inappropriate for a newcomer to be the executive lead planner. After all, none of those who had been the executive lead planner of Tenda Games had been experienced.

Li Yada smiled and patted Hu Xianbin on the shoulder, "It's okay, don't put too much pressure on yourself. The work of the executive lead planner is simpler than you think. As long as you do your best, you will definitely be able to do it well."

"Okay, if there's nothing else, everyone can go home."

"After returning from the New Year, I will take you to familiarize yourselves with the work content again."

"Everyone, Happy Spring Festival!"
