Chapter 24: Pack Up and Leave

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Hearing that the meeting was over, the leaders of the various departments were relieved.

However, they were still far from getting off work, because there was still a lot of work to do with this bug.

The public relations department wanted to make an announcement.

The technical department urgently fixed the bug.

The Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track map would also be suspended.

The other departments also had to cooperate accordingly.

In the technical department, Shen Lei swiped open the door and walked in.

At this moment, the programmers who were about to clock out all looked over.

“How’s the bug handling going?”

Before Shen Lei went to the meeting, he had told them to figure out the specifics of the bug.

“It’s just a small bug in a new map. I accidentally found it, but I didn’t expect it to be developed. These players are really full of themselves.”

Hearing this, Shen Lei’s eyes turned cold. He looked at the complaining employee and said, “Will players still play games if they aren’t satisfied? And if they don’t play, how will we survive?”

The reporting programmer looked embarrassed when he heard this. He lowered his head and did not dare to respond.

“Our mission is to maintain the players’ gaming experience and create a fair and just environment for them.”

Shen Lei turned his head. His thick hair was trembling slightly, as if it symbolized the supreme dignity of the programmer world so that no programmer present dared to look him in the eye.

He looked around at the 30 or so programmers present and said, “If nothing goes wrong, the losses this time will be borne by our technical department. There is a high probability that this year’s bonus will be canceled.”

The moment he said this, the programmers present were all unconvinced.

“Why? It’s not the first time a bug has appeared. Why is our year-end bonus deducted?”

“Yeah. If my wife finds out that I lost my year-end bonus, she’ll scold me to death!”

“I have my parents and children. I’m counting on the year-end bonus to treat them to a good meal. How can this be?”

More and more voices erupted. Shen Lei shouted, “That’s enough. If the bug had only appeared today, no one would have said anything bad about us.”

“But the problem is that this bug appeared yesterday, but not only did we fail to fix it, we didn’t even discover it. This caused the situation to escalate and increase our losses. This is our fault, and everyone, including me, has to bear this responsibility.”

“We’re all adults. We have to bear the responsibility. Since they were here to make a living, if something happened, they had to pay the price.”

After hearing this, everyone understood that their year-end bonus was definitely gone.

An adult should be responsible for his own actions.

“Wait a minute.”

Suddenly, a man who was less than thirty years old and had very little hair walked out of the crowd.

He pushed up his thick glasses and said, “I don’t think we should bear the responsibility for this matter.”

Everyone turned to look at him, and many of their eyes lit up. This was related to their year-end bonus.

Shen Lei also turned his head and stared at him with a sharp gaze.

“Yu Hong, speak clearly.”

“I heard that something happened in the public relations department yesterday. It seems to be related to this bug.”

“I feel that since they discovered this bug but didn’t hand it over to us in time, I think they should bear the responsibility!”

Yu Hong’s words allowed the others to find a way to avoid punishment. They hurriedly clamored to go to the public relations department to ask.

“Alright!”

Shen Lei shouted and looked at Yu Hong.

“Are you sure you’re telling the truth?”

“I’m sure!”

Yu Hong said firmly.

“Alright, you have to be responsible for what you said. I’ll report the situation now. If it’s true, we just need to increase our workload.”

Shen Lei went back to his office after he finished talking and was ready to inform General Manager Luo Wei of the matter.

Once Shen Lei left, all the programmers cheered!

“Yay! I was scared to death! I almost thought I lost my year-end bonus!”

“That’s right, that’s right. I took a fancy to a new electric car this year and planned to change it after the year-end bonus. I was almost scared to death.”

Someone ran to Yu Hong’s side and put an arm around his shoulder.

He smiled and said, “You’re really something. If not for you, we would have suffered a huge loss!”

“That’s right, that’s right. All thanks to Yu Hong!”

“Hahaha, Lao Yu, don’t look at how dull you are usually, but you are still very useful at critical moments!”

Yu Hong pushed his glasses up and smiled innocently. “I just remembered about this. Besides, this has nothing to do with us. It’s already bad enough that we have to increase our workload because of this.”

“That’s right, that’s right. I don’t know which bastard actually has the time to ponder over such a bug.”

“I’ve said it before.”

At the same time, in the public relations department.

“Hello.”

“What did you say? What do technical matters have to do with my public relations department?”

“Alright, I’ll go ask now. If there’s no problem, just wait for me.”

The head of the public relations department, Yuan Haichuan, put down the company’s internal phone and walked out of the office.

At this moment, the public relations department was preparing to make a statement about today’s bug.

He walked to a table beside him and knocked on it. Seeing that everyone was looking over, he said, “I received news about the bug. Someone said that our public relations department had discovered it yesterday. Is that true?”

“You’d better think carefully before answering. The losses in this matter are huge. If you don’t do well, you might have to pack up and leave.”

Yuan Haichuan was quite satisfied when he saw that everyone was at a loss.

His hint was already very obvious.

As long as no one spoke, he could settle this matter.

Did he really think that he, the supervisor, was stupid to let the public relations department take the blame for a technical matter?

He looked around again and found that Qi Jun’s hands were pressing on Xiao Ruoyan’s shoulders. The two of them seemed to be flirting.

Seeing this, Yuan Haichuan said angrily, “When did you two hook up? Do whatever you want after work. Don’t do this in the office.”

After saying that, he prepared to leave and get rid of this blame.

At this moment, he suddenly heard the sound of a chair falling to the ground behind him. He couldn’t help but turn around.

Xiao Ruoyan pushed Qi Jun away and said loudly, “Supervisor, I clearly went to submit the bug yesterday, but they didn’t accept it. Now that there’s a problem, why are they questioning us?”

When Yuan Haichuan heard this, his face turned ugly and his voice became low, “So, you knew about this bug?”

Xiao Ruoyan, who had yet to realize the seriousness of the matter, did not notice that Qi Jun, who was behind her, had gradually distanced himself from her. She still said righteously, “Yes, I found it, but I also submitted it to them, but they didn’t care. This is their own dereliction of duty!”

“…”

Yuan Haichuan stared at her meaningfully. After a few seconds, he sighed and said to the others like a deflated balloon.

“You should be prepared to lose your year-end bonus.”

“As for you.”

He looked at Xiao Ruoyan and said in disappointment, “Get ready to pack up and leave.”

Xiao Ruoyan: ???
