Almighty Game Designer - Chapter 41

Su Jinyu nodded, “Ok, I can.”

Chen Mo said, “Good, so here are some details. The first is about the working hours, it’s every morning at 10 am until 8pm, and it is best for you to be present on weekend and in case something happens, you can ask for a leave on Monday and Tuesday.”

Su Jinyu, “Okay.”

“In terms of salary, weekends and holidays are considered as working an extra shift. Your monthly salary will be 8,000 and it will be settled before the 5th of each month. However, it’s better to take no more than 8 days off every month.” Said Chen Mo.

Su Jinyu said, “Ah? So much?”

Generally speaking, companies are desperately struggling on paying high wages to interns. The salary of interns in Imperial City, even if they are a student of a key university, their salary will fluctuate around 5,000 yuan.

In some industries where overtime work is required, wages may be slightly higher, but it will not exceed 7,000.

Only when the interns are appointed and become a formal employee, can they possibly get 8,000 or even 10,000 yuan salary. Su Jinyu originally expected that her salary would be around 5,000 yuan, now the price Chen Mo offered her has far exceeded her expectations.

Chen Mo said, “If you think it is too much, then I can lower it, it is no problem.”

Su Jinyu laughed, “That’s certainly not too much.”

Chen Mo did not like that kind of bargaining type of application in his previous life. The job seeker and HR are simply fighting in a battle of wits, the job seeker wanted 15,000, the HR cut it to 10,000, and finally they settled at 12,000. In Chen Mo’s view, it was the same as bargaining with an auntie in the vegetable market, it was very boring, and it was also a kind of disrespect for the talented.

For Chen Mo, it costs 10,000 yuan to draw a prize, it doesn’t matter if he spends more than 2,000 or 3,000 a month, and he thinks that Su Jinyu should get that much money.

Chen Mo continued, “The next question is about working overtime.”

Su Jinyu quickly said, “I have no problem with overtime work, I am still in the stage of learning and accumulation. If necessary, I can stay up all night…”

Chen Mo said, “Oh, you may have misunderstood, I mean there is no need to work overtime here. Every day the working hours are 10 am until 8pm and you don’t need to work overtime.”

“What?”

Su Jinyu was stunned. This was not the same as what she had imagined.

In Chen Mo’s previous world, the overtime work in the game industry was very serious, it was almost the same as a casual meal and there is no salary for overtime work. In the parallel world, although there was no hard demand, overtime work was also a common phenomenon.

Most of the game designers in the parallel world are workaholics, they tend to be more versatile and personally do all aspects of the game. Therefore, the main game designer is often the busiest, the day and night during R&D period are reversed, and they even directly live in the studio.

Su Jinyu originally thought that Chen Mo was also like this, she had already prepared for frequent overtime work. As a result, Chen Mo said that she didn’t need to work overtime?

Chen Mo said, “Companies that often work overtime are either understaffed or their staffs have low efficiency. Our company is neither.”

Su Jinyu nodded, “Uh.”

She felt this sounded great although she was unsure about it.

Chen Mo said, “You should understand the general work of a receptionist. In fact, most of the time, there won’t be too many customers, you can do whatever you want at the front desk, you can play online games and you can also watch TV. I will occasionally give you some work as an assistant and you must ensure that it will be completed on time.”

Su Jinyu said, “Okay, no problem!”

Chen Mo said, “So, go back for today and prepare, you will officially start working tomorrow.”

Su Jinyu nodded, “Ok, please take care of me in the future!”

The two people shook hands, then Su Jinyu left happily.

For Su Jinyu, this job has made her very satisfied, she could learn from an excellent game designer, and her salary was much higher than that of other jobs, the usual work tasks were not too many and there was no need to work overtime.

The only disadvantage was that the Manager seemed to have different ideas about game design. But this shouldn’t be a big problem, could a designer that made 《Plants vs Zombies》, destroy his reputation in order to make money?

. . . . . . . . . . . . .

10 am the next day.

Chen Mo specially opened the shop 10 minutes earlier. As a result, Su Jinyu was waiting at the entrance.

“Morning Manager,” said Su Jinyu.

Chen Mo said, “In the future, you don’t need to come so early, it’s okay for you to be 5 or 10 minutes late.”

Su Jinyu said, “I can’t do that, I have always been very punctual.”

He had just opened the shop, and so there was currently no guests in the experience shop.

The laptops and graphic tablets that Chen Mo ordered online yesterday have arrived. All of which are highly configured, and can fully meet most of the current game design requirements.

“You can install some of the commonly used software for computers by yourself. In the afternoon, I will send you some design documents, and you will need to improve them.” Chen Mo said.

Su Jinyu nodded, “Well, okay.”

Chen Mo also explained some other problems and went back to the second floor. After all, Su Jinyu is now sitting at the counter, and it is unnecessary for him to stay on the first floor.

Su Jinyu began to download some commonly used software on the new computer. These software doesn’t have small capacity, even though the experience shop had fast internet speed, it still took some time to download.

On the first day of work, Su Jinyu was a little excited.

She stood up and walked around on the first floor of the experience shop.

The cleaning and daily maintenance work in the shop are all handled by dedicated personnel, so it is very neat. The computer screen and the keyboards and mouses are wiped clean and the seats are neatly arranged.

The small conference room, counter, snack rack, sofa… Su Jinyu circled the whole floor, she felt that Chen Mo’s experience shop was different from other experience shops that she had seen. The overall feeling was more relaxing and comfortable.

Maybe it was due to the layout.

Su Jinyu sat back at the counter.

It wasn’t long before, about a quarter past ten, a somewhat dark and thin guy came through the entrance.

“Hello, welcome.” Su Jinyu said very politely.

Jia Peng was stunned, blinking his eyes and took two steps back from the entrance, and looked at the signboard of the experience shop.

Thunder Game experience shop, right.

Jia Peng looked at the furnishings in the shop. Well, everything remained the same except the Manager became a cute girl.

The Manager turned into a girl?!

“You…you are…” Jia Peng asked.

Su Jinyu said, “My name is Su Jinyu, I’m the receptionist who just come here today.”

“Oh!” Jia Peng suddenly realized, “Hello, hello. Where is the Manager?”

Su Jinyu said, “The Manager is on the second floor, Do you need me to call him?”

Jia Peng quickly waved his hand, “No need, no, that, I just come to play for a while, so no need, it is fine.”

Jia Peng swiped his ID card and found a computer to sit down.

Stealing a peek at Su Jinyu.

Jia Peng whispered in his heart, “Tsk, I just didn’t come for two days and the Manager hired a receptionist, and she is even a cute girl. This is a big news.”

Jia Peng took out his mobile phone and sent a message in the Advertising Department group.

“This is a major event! The Manager hired a cute girl to be the receptionist!”

Soon, those who didn’t talk in the group began to respond one after one. 

“What? Real or fake, I didn’t go there yesterday!”

“The Manager seems to be recruiting people recently, and he has arranged several interviews.”

“Managed employed her? Is it really a cute girl? How cute?”

“I don’t believe it! Show picture or I won’t believe it is true!”

“Yes, send a picture quickly!”

“Is she as cute as Xiuya?”

Jia Peng was speechless, “See her here for yourself!”

Wen Lingwei, “Don’t let that cute girl run, I will be there soon!”

It was lively in the group. The manager wasn’t thinking about how to make good games, but was thinking of these deviant ways? Knowing that we didn’t come in the experience shop recently, he specially hired a cute girl to seduce us!

This is going too far!

What is this behavior called? Shameful!

But… nice job!!
