Chapter 1252: Poaching People!

At night, in Ming House’s private room.

“Brother Eric! Come, please sit.” Pei Qian warmly invited Eric to sit down.

Eric was a little emotional when he came to Jingzhou again.

He had been to Jingzhou several times. It seemed like every time he came, he could feel that the city was changing. Obviously, it was related to Tengda’s existence.

What’s more, it seemed like Boss Pei’s attitude towards him would become more passionate every time he came.

They had not met at first, and then bumped into each other later on. Now, Boss Pei was taking the initiative to treat them to a meal.

Eric wondered if this meant that Boss Pei had recognized his ability and regarded him as a respectable opponent.

It might seem like wishful thinking on his part but he had to say that there was obviously a change in Boss Pei’s attitude.

Pei Qian said regrettably, “It’s a pity that you came a little suddenly and did not make it in time for the weekend.”

“If it’s a weekend, I’ll reserve a seat at the nameless restaurant. Otherwise, if I decide on the itinerary two or three days in advance, I can inform the person-in-charge of the restaurant in advance and change the time with the customers.”

“Coincidentally, we can only make do here.”

“Let me know in advance when you come back from Europe. I’ll definitely arrange for you to have a good meal at the nameless restaurant!”

The nameless restaurant still had to queue. Pei Qian only reserved five days for himself every month. On the 20th, he booked the entire place. He also reserved the biggest private room every weekend.

If he had to use it on a work day, he could also communicate with the customers that he had booked on the day. He could exchange the customers for weekends and compensate them with some dishes. Basically, the customers would agree readily.

However, today was Thursday. What’s more, Eric had come in a hurry, so he did not have time to arrange. He could only come to Boss Li’s place to eat.

The food was not as good even though he did spend quite a lot of money.

Eric had mixed feelings.

For some reason, he felt that Boss Pei was especially passionate towards him. This passion came from the bottom of his heart and was not a facade at all.

That made him feel strange.

Shouldn’t they be competitors?

Was Boss Pei too broad-minded or too confident?

This attitude was a little too warm even if he saw himself as a respectable opponent.

Soon, good dishes were served one by one. Pei Qian did not stand on ceremony. He ate and chatted with Eric.

“Brother Eric, to be honest, this event was an accident.”

“I didn’t expect to implicate you.”

Pei Qian spoke very sincerely. This event was indeed an accident.

Perhaps if Eric had not reminded him to look at the details of the event back then, he would not have suggested changing the “new account” to “all accounts”. Then, the event might not have caused such a huge harm.

He had sincerely given IOI a blood transfusion, but everything had gone wrong.

Of course, if Pei Qian had not raised it, this event would probably have caused some new problems for IOI. However, the effect of the event would have been very poor at best. It should not have become like this.

Thus, even though Pei Qian did not think that it was his fault, he still sympathized with Eric and felt that he should not implicate him.

The key was what would happen if IOI’s domestic server collapsed after Eric left? Pei Qian would be very lonely.

Eric nodded. “I understand what you mean.”

“Perhaps you are not targeting me, but the higher management of the company, the actual controller of IOI. However, that can’t be helped. Under such a struggle, chess pieces might be sacrificed.”

“Boss Pei, as a chess player, of course you don’t care about these things.”

Pei Qian: “…”

Alright, there was no way to communicate. Eric had obviously misunderstood the meaning of “accidentally injuring”.

Pei Qian pondered for a moment and decided not to explain further. He had no choice but to change the topic. “How long will it take you to get back this time?”

Eric was silent for a moment before saying, “I might not come back.”

“My punishment can be light or heavy, but I will definitely not be in charge of IOI anymore. I will probably not be involved in Finger Games’ business anymore. The most likely outcome would be demotion and return to the media department.”

Pei Qian said angrily, “That’s too much!”

“How can Dayak Corporation treat a veteran hero like this? The leader is not doing his job well, but he wants his subordinates to take the blame. Speaking of which, it’s a multinational company. There’s no structure at all!”

In fact, Pei Qian’s true thoughts were that Eric’s ability was not that great.

It was still a threat to Pei Qian even though not to Tengda as a whole.

However, speaking of which, he felt that the upper echelons of Dayak Corporation were even more useless than Eric.

The upper echelons of Dayak Corporation, Finger Games, Long Yu Corporation, Eric, and Zhao Xuming were all trash. Only Eric was slightly useful.

Eric seemed to be a little outstanding amongst them.

Yet, such a person was forced to take the blame. There was no justice in this world.

What was even more infuriating was who would continue burning money with him when Eric was gone?

Dayak Corporation’s upper echelons had a very clear attitude: GOG, do what you have to do. We are going to use IOI to make money anyway.

It would be a daydream to think of burning money together with such a group of people and a new person-in-charge.

On one hand, Pei Qian felt indignant for Eric. On the other hand, he felt sorry for himself.

A living God of Fortune had left!

Eric sipped his tea silently, wondering why Boss Pei was acting so indignant.

Those who did not know would think that Boss Pei had received some unfair treatment.

“There is still a difference between companies.”

Eric could not say it too clearly. He still had professionalism. Even if he was dissatisfied with his own company, he definitely could not complain openly in front of his competitor.

He could only express his admiration for Tengda’s employees through vague means.

Both of them ate their own food and were momentarily speechless.

When Eric was removed for the first time, he did not forget to spy on Boss Pei when he saw him. He was prepared to make a comeback in the future.

However, he did not have such thoughts at all now because he knew that it was impossible for him to make a comeback.

After some consideration, Pei Qian said, “Brother Eric, why don’t you work in Tengda?”

“How much did you get from Dayak Corporation? I’ll poach you at a premium of 30%!”

“To be honest, I have long wanted to replace the person-in-charge of GOG’s operations department!”

Pei Qian was speaking the truth. He had indeed wanted to replace Min Jingchao a long time ago.

Min Jingchao was in charge of GOG’s project from the beginning. At first, he was in charge of systems, game balance, and design heroes. Later on, he also worked with Zhang Yuan’s E-Sports Department to arrange some competitions or operations.

Logically speaking, GOG had only decided to create a game to go against IOI’s risks and incur losses. Yet, it had ended up on such a huge scale and earning so much money. Min Jingchao had to bear the blame.

However, the problem was that there would always be someone more dazzling than him.

Tengda Games had been developing new games and making each game popular. Even if they were to hold the Best Employee Selection, the popularity would be sucked away by Hu Xianbin and Bao Xu.

Min Jingchao had been in charge of GOG for so long, but he was safe and sound. That was ridiculous!

It was still too early for the next Best Employee Selection. What’s more, it was hard to say which outstanding employee would be eliminated.

Thus, Pei Qian could not wait any longer. He had to get Hu Xianbin and Min Jingchao out so that he could relax!

As long as these two people were around, Tengda Games would be as stable as a mountain. Boss Pei would not be able to eat.

Thus, Min Jingchao had to leave.

After he left, he would promote a new person from the games department to be in charge of GOG’s daily updates and balance. Then, he would naturally separate the research and development process.

Previously, Min Jingchao had been in charge of research and development while managing operations. Thus, he had been able to arrange for version updates based on the contents of the operations. Many operations had reacted strongly and were popular.

This situation should be greatly improved after they were separated.

What’s more, Pei Qian felt that Eric’s ability was passable in Dayak Corporation, but was not as dangerous as Tengda’s old employees.

Given Eric’s dismal results in charge of IOI’s domestic server, he might be able to achieve a miraculous effect in GOG and earn less money.

It would be even better if he could keep the last spark of IOI.

What’s more, Eric was a high-level executive of Dayak Corporation after all. His salary was definitely not low. It was reasonable to give him some mental damage compensation for working in foreign countries all year round. The system would not object to spending more money to poach him.

Thus, after some thought, Pei Qian decided that this poach could work!
