Rebirth: Starting from a Trainee Teacher

Chapter 374: Bring your children along for the wedding photo shoot

The company's programmer recruitment was conducted by software engineer Wang Tao, who was much more efficient than Zhou Jing in interviews. After two rounds of interviews, he completed the recruitment of sixteen programmers.

The company's programmers expanded to twenty-four people, and Zhou Jing asked Wang Tao to reorganize them.

There are four groups of six people in a group. Groups A, B, and C are responsible for external projects, and Group D develops the projects of Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd. Group D is directly led by Zhou Jing.

The projects were assigned to each group, and the cycle of each project was determined by Zhou Jing and Wang Tao based on the difficulty. Because the company was just starting out and all aspects were immature, the team was given a relatively sufficient deadline to complete the project.

The several projects the company has taken on are not too difficult. Zhou Jing expects that all of them can be completed before July. The projects are worth more than 16 million yuan, and if all goes well, there will be good profit margins. The biggest costs of making software are equipment and manpower. The equipment is reusable, and once the equipment costs are recovered, the profit margins will be even greater.

Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd. now has three offices, which can accommodate a total of about one hundred people working at the same time. Zhou Jing has tentatively scheduled the next recruitment time for late June. The company will see the situation in June. If there is no shortage of projects, the team will continue to expand as planned.

Human Resources handles the new member's onboarding procedures and contracts, and hands the contracts to Gu Jia for review.

"Boss, please take a look. What should we do next?"

Gu Jia checked it and handed it to Zhou Jing with a smile.

"Make an appointment at the bridal shop."

Zhou Jing didn't look at the new employee's contract again. He was relieved after Gu Jia had read it.

We agreed to take wedding photos before the 20th, but it’s already the 12th.

"Can you be busy?"

The company is very busy these days, so Gu Jia can wait a little longer.

"Being busy will be the norm from now on. I'll go shoot next weekend."

Zhou Jing didn't want to delay any longer. He wanted to take wedding photos earlier so that he could feel at ease sooner. Otherwise, Gu Jia's belly would get bigger.

Gu Jia thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll go at noon."

Bao Jia is looking forward to taking wedding photos. It only happens once in a lifetime, so of course the younger you are, the better. It’s best to take the photos when you are in the best shape.

"go together."

Zhou Jing finished the work at hand as soon as possible and was mainly responsible for project-related matters, leaving the administrative work to Gu Jia.

Qin Zhengyu came to the office to ask for leave, saying that he had to go out to discuss a project with a client. Zhou Jing let him go directly and told Qin Zhengyu that he didn't need to ask for leave in the future and just go and do what he had to do. Qin Zhengyu was the director of the operations department, and his most important task was to meet with clients to discuss projects. Zhou Jing was good at doing projects himself.

The small game that Zhou Jing sent to the project team had been written to 10 levels. Zhou Jing installed it on his own computer for testing. After the team expanded and improved it, the small game looked quite good, with a cute cartoon icon. When entering the game, Creative Technology popped up. After entering the game, there was relaxing and pleasant background music. Click Help to pop up the game instructions. Click Start to enter the game screen. Cartoon image blocks of different colors formed a 10X square.

There are rule prompts at the beginning of the first level of the game. Left-click the mouse to select small blocks that can form three or more identical blocks. Release the mouse after completing the movement. The requirement to pass the level is to complete 100 points within 20 steps.

The current level of the game has reached the requirements of version 1.0. Levels can be added and optimized in the future. After the test is passed, the web version can be launched. The game type is casual puzzle.

The mini-game is still being improved. After Zhou Jing experienced a few levels, he handed it over to Group D, which he personally led, to continue completing it. Before sending it to the team, he asked the newcomers to sign a confidentiality agreement. The confidentiality clause is not limited to this game, but applies to all projects of the company that need to be kept confidential.

"What happens if the confidentiality agreement is violated?"

Gu Jia said as she stamped the confidentiality agreement.

"In serious cases, people could go to jail. The codes of technology and Internet companies are confidential."

Zhou Jing will consider open source in the future. In fact, it doesn't matter whether the code of the mini-game is open source or not. Once a type of game becomes popular, a large number of similar games will appear immediately. The most important thing is creativity. China likes to follow the trend and pirate. "This game is quite fun. If it can be added to the QQ space mini-game, it should be very popular. If it is sold, how much can a game sell for?"

Gu Jia took some time out of his busy schedule to play the game and was very addicted to the game.

"It depends on how many people play it. It may sell for a few thousand or tens of millions. If we can develop a large-scale game like Counter-Terrorism or Kart Racing, we can sell hundreds of millions or more."

“The Internet industry is too polarized.”

Gu Jia underestimated the Internet's ability to create wealth.

In the lobby, the employees were busy, and Zhou Jing was also busy typing code. Zhou Jing's coding efficiency was comparable to that of a team of more than ten people.

It was almost time for lunch, so Wang Tao found Zhou Jing to discuss having people from the administrative class bring lunch to the project team. Wang Tao had discussed with the programmers and decided to save some time from the lunch break to use for work.

They were willing to see Zhou Jingle succeed and let the Ministry of Public Administration make a menu.

Starting next month, if the programmers can work overtime for more than half an hour at noon, Zhou Jing can provide them with lunch.

But then again, overtime is sometimes useless. When people are exhausted, their work efficiency will definitely decrease. Zhou Jing pondered over which method is more efficient and cost-effective: lowering programmers' salaries, hiring more programmers and implementing a no-overtime system, or increasing salaries and implementing an overtime system.

Zhou Jing suddenly had an idea to write a small program for ordering food within the company and at the same time prepare for future promotion.

At 11:30 am, Zhou Jing and Gu Jia went out to eat. After dinner, they found a wedding photography studio, made an appointment for the date, chose the clothes and style, and Zhou Jing chose the highest quality one.

Looking at the beautiful wedding dress, Gu Jia couldn't wait to try it on, but she couldn't do it due to limited time at noon.

"This should have been filmed in April. Does it feel hot now?"

Coming out of the bridal shop, Zhou Jing took Gu Jia's hand and said.

"It's okay, I feel just right."

The weather in mid-May was a little hot, but Gu Jia could bear it. No matter how hot the weather was in the north, it would not be like a furnace. Moreover, she could shoot outdoor scenes in the morning and indoor scenes in the afternoon.

No matter what, let’s take a set first. Zhou Jing put his arm around Gu Jia’s waist and said, “Let’s take another set before we get married.”

"Sure, bring the kids along."

Gu Jia no longer cared about marriage. The company had just started, and she hadn't gotten married for a year or two. If she got pregnant this year, the wedding would have to be postponed for at least four or five years. So let's just leave it at that! The boy had done well for her by not only getting the marriage certificate but also preparing to have a child first.

The two returned to the company at almost two o'clock. Before they even entered the office, they heard the sound of typing. Qin Zhengyu came back with a project worth more than five million yuan, to build a database for a company.

"Thank you for your hard work, Brother Qin."

Zhou Jing personally poured a glass of water for Qin Zhengyu. The five million project is not a small project for Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd. now, and it is very encouraging.

"Mr. Zhou is too polite."

Qin Zhengyu held the cup with both hands.

After understanding the project, Zhou Jing sent the match-3 game to Qin Zhengyu for evaluation.
