ADAPTED FROM JINJIANG LITERATURE CITY NOVELS

WRITTEN BY TWENTINE (ZHOU AIHUA)

Good morning.

It's late, lady.

Don't you have a sense of time?

This is your first day at work.

Couldn't you come earlier

to get to know our company?

Mr. Zhang,

stop criticizing her.

We finally hired a new employee.

Assign her tasks quickly.

We still have a lot of work to do.

What if Mr. Dong asks about it?

I agree.

You're right.

Of course.

Now I'll introduce our work.

I nearly forgot you were hired too.

There are many available seats here.

Choose the one you like.

Let me give you

a brief overview of our company.

Let me first introduce our three senior employees.

First of all, me.

I'm Zhang Fang,

the company's CFO,

CHO, COO,

and programmer all-in-one.

So I'm in charge

of all company affairs.

This is

our main technical backbone,

Zhao Teng.

As our CTO,

he is mainly in charge of game design,

testing, and so on.

And that man

is good at nothing,

so I don't know what he does either.

He is Guo Shijie.

He calls himself our art director.

He's in charge of our animation,

UI, 3D, sweeping,

mopping, and parcel reception.

Anyway, he's an office boy.

Why didn't he become a programmer too?

He wanted to.

I can do everything,

except for that.

If he could have, he would have.

The last member is Mr. Dong

who usually stays in his office.

Mr. Dong.

Mr. Dong is…

You will find out

when he gets here.

Zhao Teng,

assemble computers for them.

Zhao Teng, assemble computers!

Don't pretend to be deaf.

Assemble computers!

Where are the computers?

I can do it.

Do inmates also learn this?

Yes.

Nice.

Follow me.

What? Did someone call me just now?

You were asked to assemble computers.

Could you be friendlier?

They are our new colleagues.

No way.

You assembled a computer

in under five minutes.

It's unbelievable.

What did you do in the past?

I assembled this model three years ago.

Three years later,

I'm assembling the same thing.

The company is supplying this computer

for free.

It's good enough that it runs.

You can still work on it.

It really does boot up.

Don't take off your gloves.

There is one more.

Assemble one for her.

It's none of my concern.

I won't do it for her.

What's going on?

Don't you two

come as a pair?

I can do it.

Watch out. You almost damaged my parcels.

What?

You should reflect on yourselves

for occupying the entire corridor!

There isn't even room to walk!

What do you mean?

Can't you be polite?

You don't deserve any courtesy.

Garbage!

Do you think I won't beat you?

Do you dare?

-Of course! -Come on!

Hit me here then!

-You're the garbage! -Do it if you're a man!

Don't stop him! Let go of him!

-That's enough! -Let him beat me!

Mr. Zhang.

Zhang Fang!

I've told you many times.

Don't block our entrance with parcels.

It will block our road to fortune!

Don't you know that?

You don't keep it in mind, do you?

Are you Mr. Dong?

It's you.

What a small world!

Is your new job

at my company?

Yes.

Let me introduce Zhu Yun,

our new employee who studied abroad.

She is very capable.

An overseas returnee?

Amazing.

Overseas returnee.

What about him?

This is Li Xun.

He…

Anyway, I recruited them as you asked.

It's all in English.

What are you looking at?

You've got personality.

I'm asking you

what you are looking at.

GitHub.

Speak Mandarin.

It's a foreign exchange website for programmers.

I didn't ask you.

You're talkative.

Did you recruit her?

I haven't--

First, teach her to keep quiet.

I'll train her.

So what if you're an overseas returnee?

You are so talkative.

Mr. Dong.

I've told you many times.

This is not your house!

How dare you wear slippers at work!

-Have you no civility? -Yes, sir.

My feet swell.

Get to work!

There are unopened bags here.

I'm helping you lose weight.

You don't need to.

Mr. Dong,

you haven't come in a while.

Let me report our work to you.

Look.

Do they look like a tyrant and a eunuch?

What is Mr. Dong's background?

Why can't you tell me? Is he a gang boss?

There are no gangs in China.

In other words,

during my absence,

our company's sole project called…

Invincible General.

Yes.

This Invincible General

hasn't had any progress.

Don't tell me

that you haven't even started!

To be specific…

Shut up! Meeting!

Meeting!

Well, I don't understand.

Why couldn't you complete

such a simple game

in a few months?

Do you know how much I invested in it?

Even now,

I haven't seen a demo!

You…

You're incompetent, aren’t you?

Yes, I am.

And you.

Good-for-nothing.

I admit that I am partially to blame.

I admit it.

Let me ask you.

Do you think our game is fun?

I think it's…

Not fun.

Even you don't think it's fun!

How can it attract players?

When you introduced this project to me,

you used a special term…

Hot.

Hot!

Tell me

why you can't finish

making this hot game.

Why?

Did you make an analysis?

What is the game?

Don't cut in.

How could you recruit such an ill-behaved employee?

What are we doing?

We are having a strategy meeting!

If everyone were so ill-behaved,

how could we be victorious?

Enough.

Facing you good-for-nothings,

I don't want to go on scolding.

Now I just want one of you

to stand up and tell me that

he can complete this project on his own!

See?

Stop!

Did I dismiss the meeting?

Will this meeting get any results?

If not, don't waste time.

Say that again.

Say that again.

Say that again.

I can!

I can complete this project on my own.

Gosh.

You…

can?

I can.

Zhu Yun.

Zhu Yun.

The PhD holder who returned from abroad.

You may not know much

about our corporate culture.

Does this company have corporate culture?

When the boss speaks,

don't cut in.

Making that promise means accepting a military order.

So

can you still do it?

I can.

I like employees like you

who always charge ahead.

Do you know why?

Such employees

are prone to yield when in trouble.

Especially when such a proud,

arrogant, and capable female PhD holder

who has returned from abroad

apologizes to me,

it is so amusing!

Then I entrust the project called…

Invincible General.

It's yours.

Were you in charge of this mess before?

You're helping her with it.

And what is that thorny one's name?

Li Xun, he's talking about you!

You are also joining her group!

Well, Iron Lady.

Iron Lady!

Iron Lady.

You're the group leader.

The three of you are a project group.

If you complete it,

you will get a bonus and raise

or you will be fired together!

Understand?

Hello.

Dong's Private Car is at your service.

What is the game you were talking about?

Ms. Zhu,

you may be capable.

However,

weren't you too reckless to take this on

before knowing anything

about this game?

I just wanted to help you solve a problem.

Are you helping us?

You seemed more worried

that Mr. Dong would pick on your friend.

Don't forget the fan.

Then the Invincible General group

is officially established today.

Let me assign your tasks for today.

Zhao Teng, summarize what you have so far.

We'll have a project meeting.

Okay.

And you,

provide technical support for the time being.

Specifically,

assemble a computer for me first.

Any problems?

No problem, Ms. Zhu.

Let's get started.

Okay.

Let me first give you an introduction

to the current state of the project.

So this…

Li Xun,

you never expected this day, did you?

Good morning.

Good morning.

-Good morning. -Good morning.

-Good morning, Ms. Zhu. -Good morning.

Zhao Teng and Li Xun,

let's have a meeting inside.

Okay.

Enjoy yourself.

Li Xun, it's meeting time!

Ms. Zhu,

your friend isn't coming.

Don't worry. He will come.

Let's begin.

Invincible General

is a war simulation game.

It's simple

and focuses on being lively,

exciting, and cool.

Li Xun, have you looked at the files?

What do you think of it?

Lively, exciting, and cool?

Are you kidding?

What's wrong?

Can't you spot such obvious errors?

Have you forgotten your history lessons?

That is Lü Bu, isn't it?

This game is set

in the Warring States period.

But Lü Bu is from the Three Kingdoms period.

Really? You're right.

I guess

Xiaojian must have gotten it wrong.

He must have copied a model.

Anything else?

Take a closer look.

There are no problems.

Over 90% of war simulation games on the market

are set in the Three Kingdoms period,

but this game is set in the Warring States period.

The First Emperor of Qin conquered and unified the six states.

If this story can attract players,

it'll be a major breakthrough.

That wasn't what I meant.

There were only saddles but no stirrups

during the Warring States period.

Stirrups were invented in the Han dynasty.

Really?

Fire was the Zhou people's totem.

The First Emperor believed in the five elements.

He believed the Qin as water

would extinguish the Zhou's fire.

Black signifies water,

so the Qin people liked black.

Is your First Emperor

heading to war

in conspicuous lemon yellow?

Is he SpongeBob SquarePants?

The game's current content is too immature.

Even street fighting wouldn't be this juvenile.

Setting that aside,

the crucial thing

is the overarching use of the Three Kingdoms period.

This is filled with historical errors.

You know your history.

However, is it that important?

Users are always smarter and more sensitive than you think.

Your current inadequacy

will be reflected in the game's performance.

Your criticism makes sense.

But can you offer some substantive suggestions for revision?

Redesign the whole thing.

Look,

the players of this game

aren't that educated.

They won't care about or know these facts.

Don't you agree, Ms. Zhu?

Redesign it.

What?

No.

Zhao Teng, I heard from Guo Shijie

that you have made many games,

but none of them were popular.

You can't go on like this.

Don't you want to design a game that represents your abilities?

I also wanted to design a popular game,

but I'm not skilled enough.

No one cooperated with me either.

The next one.

Finish this before doing the next one.

The groundwork for this is too shoddy.

It'll take too much time to revise it.

You have to do it.

Don't be afraid of the hassle and don't think too much.

Just do your best.

I'm the project leader now.

Even if something goes wrong,

you won't be blamed.

That's not what I'm worried about.

A friend once told me

not to stick to doing easy things.

That is,

you should actively embrace the hassle.

It's useless avoiding it.

Work on it.

Do you think she is a masochist?

Hey.

Fine, I won't avoid it.

Otherwise, I'm a coward!

-Hello. -Is this your food delivery?

Yes, thank you.

Everyone, have some breakfast.

That's nice of you. Thank you, Ms. Zhu.

Thank you, Ms. Zhu!

You're welcome.

Here, this is for you.

This is for me.

UNITY 3D SELF-STUDY BOOK

Try your best to read this book.

If you have any questions,

you can ask me.

Li Xun.

Li Xun, do you still like me?

When will you stop being so self-absorbed?

I'm glad you don't.

Then we can cooperate just fine.

Ms. Zhu,

when did I promise to cooperate with you?

If you don't want to, you can resign.

I'm the project leader now.

We have to cooperate

as long as you're at Flying Network.

Don't try to drive me away by playing tricks.

I won't leave before getting L&P back.

I'll treat you as a normal colleague.

I hope you can do the same.

Ms. Xu.

Ms. Xu.

Ms. Xu.

Put these materials

in the meeting room later.

Okay.

Ms. Xu.

There should be no problems.

Send the summary sheet to me later.

Okay.

Did Li Xun go to that Flying Network Company?

Not only Li Xun,

but Zhu Yun also went there.

Tell me about Flying Network.

This company was founded

less than one year ago

with one million yuan of registered capital

and only four members.

The file you're looking at

is about their boss,

Dong Siyang.

He used to be a wrestler

but didn't achieve much.

He quit when he got too old

and is now a taxi driver.

I heard he was later imprisoned

for injuring someone

when sticking up for a friend.

What is their capital source?

It all comes from Dong Siyang.

The startup capital

comes from the compensation

for the demolition of his family home.

He is considered an upstart.

He knew little about the Internet,

let alone game development.

And his three employees

are all unremarkable good-for-nothings.

Useless.

Show their games to me.

There are none.

Their company has only registered one game.

What is it called?

Invincible General.

It doesn't conform to the current market trend at all.

It has been nearly a year

and it hasn't gone online yet.

Don't worry.

Their company

currently has zero achievements.

They won't last long.

Li Xun and Zhu Yun have joined

such a terrible company.

They are two madmen.

Do you think Li Xun is a madman or a fool?

Keep an eye on him.

Understood.

Okay.

I'm leaving.

Gao,

why won't you allow me

to be the ambassador for Pink Memory?

Your image is not suitable.

Pink Memory

is a simulation game about first love.

Its image ambassador

should match its style.

That means that my style is bad.

Nana, knock it off.

This is the company's business

and the shareholders voted on this decision.

Don't lie to me.

I heard

that only you voted nay in the meeting.

The company has so many games.

You can choose another one.

This is the one I want.

I like it.

Honey, stop it.

Everyone knows you're my wife.

If I didn't vote against it,

no one would dare to do so.

Then I'll be the only one with a say

and this becomes an echo chamber.

That's the way it should be.

Fine.

Give me a reason.

Since you say I'm not suitable,

tell me why.

Am I not young enough

or do I not look

like a first lover?

People should be appointed based on their merits.

Are you banning me

only because I'm your wife?

Okay.

You can do it.

I'll notify the Publicity Department.

Come on.

Sit down.

Let me make coffee for you.

Have you heard of

My Heart Flying Network Company?

No.

Li Xun joined it.

I don't know what he is up to.

He has been imprisoned for three years.

What can he do?

The applied technology industry changes by the day.

He can't catch up.

Do you have so little confidence in him?

Don't talk nonsense.

I have confidence in you.

What's more,

it's just a tiny company.

You don't need to keep an eye on it.

Who said I'm keeping an eye on him?

Bye.

-Bye. -Bye.

I'm leaving.

Bye.

See you tomorrow.

There must be something wrong with the one who works overtime.

-Normal colleagues. -Aren't you leaving?

You threw it in the trash.

Is it still edible?

Did I throw it away?

Okay.

There's a microwave. Heat it up.

I'm leaving.

It doesn't taste half bad.

Normal colleagues it is.

Are you also slacking off here?

Are you avoiding Ms. Zhu?

I got two bottles.

Why would I avoid her?

-It's not easy-- -Zhao Teng.

Did you see the revision plan I gave you?

Ms. Zhu,

I'm only one minute into my break.

Really?

You bought cigarettes,

coffee, and drinks this morning.

You've been out at least five times.

What is this?

If we are rebuilding the foundation of Invincible General,

we have a lot of work to do.

It's intricate,

so we must have

a detailed work schedule.

This is a project schedule that I made.

You have it down to the hour.

You don't need to be so precise.

We must plan out every week, every day,

and even every hour,

and leave enough spare time.

Only by working efficiently

can we achieve our goals in less time.

Well,

here is another question.

"Zhao Teng.

Zhu Yun."

Why are we the only ones working?

What about him?

He's still studying.

Given my previous experience,

plans are made to be broken.

You can at least try.

Sure, I will.

Let's be fair. Let's vote for it.

Okay, it's democratic.

-I agree. -I object.

I agree.

Approved, two to one.

It will take effect this afternoon.

It's democratic.

Anyway, I'm not the one working.

You are a classic armchair quarterback.

Okay, no need to discuss it with me.

Just suit yourself.

I can't please you.

Isn't this much better?

You're still here.

Have you had enough of Ms. Zhu's hassling?

I'm indeed a little tired.

However, amazingly,

even with so many revisions,

I really don't find it a hassle.

Why is that?

Because your workload didn't increase.

Didn't increase? That's impossible.

Actually, Zhu Yun didn't specially assign less work to you.

No tasks were left out,

but you still found the work easy.

Do you know why?

Why?

Because she knows what needs to be done every week,

every day, and even every hour.

She sets up a general framework,

which ensures that we won't deviate.

Then we slowly fill in the details later.

How long have you known Zhu Yun?

Has she always been so awesome?

She's all right.

Just follow Zhu Yun's lead.

She will surprise you.

I'm curious about something.

What's your relationship

with our team leader, Ms. Zhu?

There is no relationship.

No relationship?

If that's true,

why was recruiting you her only request

before joining us?

Why would she take on this task for you?

Why would she pay your wages

out of her own pocket?

We're not fools.

Tell me. I won't tell anyone else.

It's because I'm handsome.

Okay?

Okay.

-Hi, Xiaoxiao. -Hi.

Let's go.

-Be careful. -The ground is slippery.

Why? It has gone up more than 3%.

Let me show you.

Only 3%? You said it would hit the limit up at least twice.

We're lucky it has risen at all.

-See you tomorrow. -Bye.

This one will do well.

Lend this to me.

Hold on, Li Xun!

Don't you have an umbrella?

Li Xun.

Where are you going?

It's none of your business.

Lend me your umbrella.

I'm going to the library.

It's for work.

Where are you going? I can drop you off.

No need.

Anyway, I'm a girl.

How could you refuse me?

Is it so hard to share an umbrella?

I'm also the group leader.

You should hold the umbrella for your leader.

It's only 11 p.m. Has he gone to bed?

Is it too late at night?

No, it's fine.

Actually, it's common for a group leader

to call a subordinate at night.

Well, you're bold.

You dared to reject my call.

Thank you for yesterday.

Put it in the office.

Why did you reject my call?

I called you at 11 p.m. last night, but you rejected it.

Why did you reject my call?

Why did you call me?

It's for something.

Work.

Ms. Zhu,

our company has stipulated working hours, right?

You didn't adopt this concept when you were a boss.

Listen up.

Our project is now at a critical phase,

so you need to be on call 24 hours a day.

I'm sorry.

I didn't know that was your number.

Don't you have my number?

Your phone.

If you don't answer again, you'll be marked absent.

MS. ZHU

Thank you.

Did you catch a cold?

I was caught in the rain yesterday.

Zhang Fang, we're out of tissues again.

Can you not be so stingy?

Here you go.

Thank you.

Isn't that my umbrella?

Why did you have it?

Isn't it Li Xun's umbrella?

That brat.

After work yesterday,

he had his own umbrella

but still took mine away.

Now I have a cold.

He doesn't do any work

but causes trouble for me.

Ms. Zhu.

I'm sick.

Can I take a day off?

In high school, I wrote a sentence on the wall.

Guess what I wrote.

What?

"As long as I'm still alive, go on learning."

Those words are for you too.

Well, you're more horrible than Mr. Dong.

Are you Exploiter Zhu?

That's because you have never met Exploiter Li.

Return the umbrella to Zhao Teng later.

Zhao Teng has finished the framework

and I'm writing the storyline.

I'll send you a timeline of the Qin state.

Help me fill in the details.

I'm busy.

I'm requesting the afternoon off.

Where are you going?

It's my personal business.

I haven't approved it yet.

Why did the computer crash again?

You'll get used to it.

GRAPHIC CARDS

Hello.

Hello.

This model is pretty good.

Titan is absolutely the best one.

How much is it?

How many do you want?

I'll take two.

Flying Network!

Excuse me. Is Ms. Zhu in?

Yes.

Your parcel.

Okay.

Titan.

CPU.

RAM.

Power supply.

Motherboard.

Let's get started.

Are you assembling a computer?

You have reversed polarity.

I'll help you.

No need.

Why are you here?

I came to fetch some materials.

Don't take everything out.

I've been working on it for over an hour.

Did I also assemble other parts wrong?

No.

I'm rearranging the wires.

What if the wires aren't arranged well?

It's ugly.

How is it?

This is a special treat I'm giving you.

Work hard.

I'm going to wash my hands.

Titan.

Did you buy something?

It's a box of instant noodles.

What would you like to eat?

You bought new hardware for me,

so I'll reciprocate.

Are you treating me to dinner?

If you're busy, forget it.

Where are we going?

Who is it?

Who is it?

There is nobody here.

I can move on.

Then why are you here?

I think

you are jealous.

Have you ever thought

that if we were together back then,

everything would be different now?

Can I make up for it now?
