Don't give me black technology

Chapter 83 The Gap Between the Internet and Reality
After making an agreement with the other party, Meng Xiaobai went to Pengcheng.

On Thursday, at 11:30 noon, the place agreed by the two, the entrance of a certain shopping mall.

"Have you arrived yet? I'm already there?" Songzi sent a message and asked.

"It's here, I didn't see you!" Meng Xiaobai wondered, he searched around the entrance of the mall, but he didn't see what Song Zi said was "a handsome man in a patterned shirt".

"Are you wearing a pair of glasses and a black sweater?" Song Zi sent another message.

"Yes!" Meng Xiaobai replied.

"Hello! I'm here!" Meng Xiaobai saw that someone was waving at him, and it was indeed a man in a blue leather jacket.However, he is not as "handsome" as Songzi described, but rather flamboyant.

He is estimated to be about 1.7 meters tall, wearing a colorful shirt, loose denim shorts, and a pair of plywood slippers, as if he is on vacation at the seaside. The fat on his stomach is shaped like a swimming ring. Meng Xiaobai reckons that he will not sink if he falls into the water. Too much fat!
In fact, Meng Xiaobai had noticed this man a long time ago, but he was so fat that he couldn't see his neck, and his bearded face really made Meng Xiaobai unable to connect with the word "handsome".

Besides, his avatar on the Internet is a super handsome guy. Sure enough, not only women cheat, but men too!

"Pine nuts?" Meng Xiaobai walked over and asked in surprise.

"Yes, it's me." Songzi smiled, "I've been standing in such an obvious place, and you've been looking for it for a long time. I'm so disappointed."

"Sorry, it's because your handsomeness is so dazzling that it blinded my eyes." Meng Xiaobai teased, and both of them laughed. They used to say these jokes often, so they didn't care.

"At this point, let's have a meal first!" Song Zi said, "If you come from a long way, I will take you to have a good meal first, and then go to the studio to see it later in the afternoon."

"Let's go!"

Song Zi took him into a Chinese restaurant, ordered a lot of meat, and the two began to chat.

During the conversation, Meng Xiaobai learned that Songzi's real name is Ruan Song, he is 30 years old this year, and he works as the chief designer of the building block game studio.

"Xiaobai, if you want to come to work in our studio!" Ruan Song patted his "strong" chest and said proudly: "That's just a word from my brother! I have worked in this studio for several years , as long as you want, I can arrange for you to come in anytime!"

"Thank you for your kindness, but I have to take a look first." Meng Xiaobai said, after a short contact, he discovered that although Ruan Song is a master of technology.But he's very easygoing and a bit of a braggart, which doesn't hurt.

After the meal, Ruan Song took him to the building block game studio.

The building block game studio is not big or small, and now has more than 20 employees.

When Meng Xiaobai arrived, everyone was busy. Seeing someone behind Ruan Song, someone asked curiously, "Brother Song, who is this?"

"This is my apprentice!" Ruan Song said loudly, "Take him to our studio to have a look."

"Your apprentice? When did you accept an apprentice?" Everyone asked in surprise.

"On the Internet!" Ruan Song said.

Meng Xiaobai didn't refute either, just greeted everyone with a smile, and everyone chatted a few words before continuing to work.

Meng Xiaobai took a look and found that the employees were very active in their work and kept busy.The atmosphere is also very good. It stands to reason that such a studio should have a good effect.

"Brother Song, I think the studio is not bad!" Meng Xiaobai said.

"Of course!" Ruan Song boasted immediately when he mentioned this, "What you see now is that the studio has fallen!"

"If you had come a few years earlier, we would have twice as many people as now!" Ruan Song said happily, "At that time, several big companies wanted to buy us!"

He lowered his voice again, and whispered into Meng Xiaobai's ear: "Penguin Games know, right? They offered 300 million yuan a year to recruit me, and I didn't even agree!"

"Why?" Meng Xiaobai wondered, now Ruan Song's annual salary is only 10,000+, which is ten times less than 300 million!
"Hey!" Ruan Song sighed, "Back then I ate too much lard, so I was fooled!"

"In the beginning, our building block studio was founded by a group of people from all over the world who love games! There were five co-founders at the beginning! Over the years, it has changed slowly. Those people at the beginning have all left, and now the boss has also changed. gone."

"Now, hey, let's not talk about it." Ruan Song shook his head.

Meng Xiaobai was about to ask, when an unhappy voice came from beside him: "Why, it's not working now?"

Looking back, Meng Xiaobai saw a middle-aged man with his hands behind his back. He was slightly fatter, with a broad and round face, short eyebrows, and a displeased expression, very much like the head teacher of Meng Xiaobai's student days who was always elusive outside the window.

Seeing the person coming, Ruan Song's original kind expression slightly pulled down, and said: "The management method is different now from before."

"Really?" The man sneered, "If you have any objections to my management style, we can have a good chat sometime."

"That's unnecessary." Ruan Song said, "I have nothing to talk to you about."

Meng Xiaobai noticed that other employees in the studio were silent at this time, and it seemed that this "manager" was not a pleasant person.

"Who is he?" The man looked at Meng Xiaobai.

"My friend also wants to make games, so come to the studio to have a look." Ruan Song said.

"The studio is the company! Can the company bring anyone in to see it?" the man said sternly.

"I know how to measure. He might come to work here, so I just want to know about it." Ruan Song emphasized.

"That's not okay, the company has its own rules and regulations! If you want to join the company, you have to go through the personnel department, and I will interview you in person!" the man criticized.

"Do you understand technology?" Ruan Song said "hehe".

The man wanted to lose his temper, but he held back when the words came to his lips, and said, "Don't be an example!"

As he spoke, he glanced at the employees in the studio, walked into the office with his hands behind his back, and closed the door.

After he left, Meng Xiaobai asked, "Brother Song, is that your boss?"

"Just him? Hehe!" Ruan Song was quite disdainful of him, and said, "If our boss was like this, I would have resigned a long time ago!"

"Then who is he?"

"He, Chen Hai, is a very stupid person!" Ruan Song lowered his voice, "Our current boss's main business is not games, he bought this studio and has no time to manage it. He doesn't trust us very much, I don't know Where did you find this person and say that he has management experience in a big company."

"Actually, this Chen Hai..." Ruan Song stopped here, "Forget it, I won't tell you these things. Anyway, if you come to work, I will cover you, so he can't make things difficult for you."

"Okay." Meng Xiaobai understood a little bit why Jimu Game Studio's situation deteriorated. It turned out that their boss, Wen Tiantian, was a shopkeeper who left the business to Chen Hai for management.

This manager doesn't get along with the game designers, so it's strange that he can run the studio well!
