Chapter 30 It must be a scam company!
Gu Fan couldn't help but his pupils were shaking: "What a guy!"
I have to say that these demons are better at not being human.
This is absolutely a devastating blow to the fun of the game "Spinning Blocks"!
Gu Fan could even imagine the expressions of those players who had been waiting for a long time but didn't come.
Lilith was obviously very proud of her "initiative" as she continued: "I will directly provide the art resources for this game. I have to ensure that the graphics and special effects alone can make this game stand out and compete in the main competition." link!"
Obviously, Lilith doesn't care about winning the prize, but according to the competition schedule, the further exposure she gets, the more exposure she will get, which is conducive to collecting more negative emotions.
"Okay, I will officially develop this game tomorrow." Gu Fan put the design plan away.
Lilith was very proud: "Hmph, I want to see how Michael can manipulate a game with such a simple mechanism!
"This time, I will definitely win!"
…
…
The next day, Gu Fan came to the company, signed up to participate in the 6th Mini Game Design Competition, and then posted a recruitment advertisement online.
After finishing all this, he began to prepare for the development of "Heaven Cube".
On the Internet, the popularity of the game "Sisyphus" has not decreased but has increased, and it has even gained a second life.
All of this is of course directly related to the video Su Tong posted!
Players are talking about the identity of this mysterious master. Some people think that he is a hidden master among the people, and some people infer that he may be a foreign god based on his name.
But no matter how they speculate, no one has figured out why he took the initiative to push the boulder off the cliff at the last moment, deliberately not letting his results be included in the list.
Some people say that it is because there are small flaws in the process, and this master is a perfectionist, so he does not want such results.
Some people also say that this is a deliberate provocation by foreign masters to domestic players, and they disdain to appear on the same list as these noobs.
There are different opinions, but these opinions are obviously unconvincing.
In fact, the reason is very simple: Su Tong is a staff member of Nitiantian.
As a staff member, and having played the game "Sisyphus" two weeks before everyone else, she felt that she should not be included in the rankings, which would undermine the fairness of the rankings.
But no matter what, this video has indeed brought great popularity to the game. If we are to reward based on merit, it is indeed time to give Su Tong a bonus.
Gu Fan looked at the time and saw that Friday was the payday.
He planned to give Nitian Company's first meritorious employee a little surprise. After all, he tried every means to save the company's operating expenses in order to win people's hearts.
…
…
Friday, April 27th.
At 5:10 pm, Su Tong returned to his residence.
Today is the company's payday.
The payday arrangement of Nitiantian Game is rather strange: it is neither the beginning of the month nor the end of the month, but "the day before the last weekend of the month."
There is no special reason, it is purely Gu Fan's personal preference.
So far, Su Tong has been coming to this company for two full months.
Last month, she got her first salary after working, which was 6,400 yuan before tax. According to this world's standards, after deducting five insurances and one housing fund, she did not need to pay taxes. The actual salary she received was 5,183.55 yuan.
This income is definitely not a lot in the imperial capital where every inch of land is precious, but after all, Su Tong's expectations were very low from the beginning, so he is quite satisfied with this salary level.
In particular, the two games developed by this company, "Hell Tracks" and "Sisyphus", are very popular with her, so Su Tong quite enjoys her current working status.
After simply cooking two dishes and having dinner, Su Tong sat in front of the computer and continued to play "Sisyphus" to improve his game level.
Just then, the doorbell rang.
"Ding dong!"
Su Tong was a little surprised. She stood up and opened the door, and saw an unexpectedly familiar figure.
"Mingyu? Why are you back?"
Standing outside the door was a tall girl who was almost 1.75 meters tall. She was wearing a long black windbreaker and sunglasses hanging from her pocket. She looked like a royal lady.
Her expression is naturally a bit cold, which fits the four words "iceberg beauty" very well. However, when she saw Su Tong at this moment, the corners of her mouth still unconsciously turned up into a smile.
"This is my home, why can't I come back?" she asked with a smile.
Su Tong didn't know what to say for a moment: "Since it's your home, why are you knocking on the door? Besides, didn't you go abroad to play?"
The tall girl entered the room and said while packing her things: "I couldn't worry about you looking for a job, so I came back early."
Her name is Xiao Mingyu, and she is Su Tong's good friend in college, but she is not studying literature, but finance.
After graduation, both of them gave up the opportunity to pursue graduate studies and embarked on different life trajectories: Su Tong interviewed everywhere and wanted to enter the gaming industry; while Xiao Mingyu had no intention of finding a job at all and just wanted to be an unemployed vagrant. , play for two or three years first.
The reason why he has such confidence is that Xiao Mingyu's family background is not ordinary.
At this time, the large flat near Imperial University where Su Tong lived was owned by Xiao Mingyu. It was a high-end community with a price of up to 110,000 per square meter, and the total price reached 32 million.
This house had been idle for a long time, so Xiao Mingyu let Su Tong stay in it for free as long as he helped clean it.
"How's your job search going?"
Xiao Mingyu lay on the large sofa in the living room and stretched out.
Su Tong took out a box of strawberries from the refrigerator and said while washing it: "I've found it. I've been working for two months."
"Huh?" Xiao Mingyu was a little surprised, "Have you found a job? What company? What position?"
Su Tong put the washed strawberries on the coffee table and said very proudly: "It's a start-up game company. The position is game testing. The workplace is at the Dream Cafe not far from here..."
Su Tong was quite proud of this job and talked about it with great joy.
However, Xiao Mingyu's expression became more and more ugly, and finally she simply interrupted Su Tong's words, and even jumped down from the sofa, grabbed Su Tong's shoulders and shook her violently.
"You are really my biological father! You were cheated and you helped count money!!
"Ah! I'm so angry!!"
Su Tong was shaken so dizzy: "Stop shaking, stop shaking... I'm dizzy..."
Xiao Mingyu then lay down on the sofa again in frustration, staring blankly at the ceiling with a somewhat hopeless expression.
"Didn't I tell you before I left that you must send me a message before you look for a job? I will help you with your advice. Don't fall into a scam company by mistake... Why do you make the decision yourself!"
Of course, what Xiao Mingyu calls "scam company" does not refer to the kind of scam company that "goes to Southeast Asia for team building trips to save money", but "a start-up company where the boss likes to draw cakes."
Su Tong lowered his head in embarrassment: "You are abroad and have a jet lag. I'm afraid of disturbing your rest... Besides, this job is pretty good and I'm quite satisfied."
Xiao Mingyu simply didn't know how to complain.
Although she is not looking for a job, because she comes from a wealthy family and majored in finance, she is very knowledgeable about starting a company and even knows the inside story of many industries.
Of course, I know a thing or two about the gaming industry.
She sighed silently and said: "This company is unreliable at first glance!
"Isn't this just an ordinary startup company? And it's also very stingy!
"Have you ever seen a company that offered a 20% salary cut when changing jobs? There is no sincerity in this. Isn't it just a matter of luck and trying to recruit good people?
“This can’t be explained by a simple ‘lack of funds’, it’s just pure shamelessness!”
Su Tong thought for a while: "But this company treats everyone equally, and even if you change careers, you will be paid according to this standard.
"My salary is 6,400, which is based on the previous standard of 8,000. No other game company can give me such a high salary."
Xiao Mingyu's mouth twitched slightly: "You are an outstanding graduate of Imperial University! 8,000 is less, let alone 6,400! Besides, how can you treat everyone equally?
"I can get an annual salary of 400,000 yuan from a foreign company. Will he pay me 80% of my salary if I go there?"
Su Tong thought for a while: "I think so."
