Wandering the world of film and television begins with the golden years

Li Haoyu's decision was really just a spur-of-the-moment thing. (New 69 Bookstore →)

This open letter was just something I issued casually.

But what Li Haoyu didn't expect was...

This open letter, however, caused quite a stir.

Smart City, Snail Games.

Since Clash of Clans became a global phenomenon, Snail Games has truly experienced a meteoric rise.

From a small, somewhat successful game company, it has become a giant in the gaming industry.

The material environment is actually not bad, after all, Snail Games started with top-tier features.

The decor is high-end and elegant, and the service is comparable to that of a five-star hotel. Every morning, a young lady on duty will sweetly greet you with a "good morning."

The walls and ceilings of Snail Games' office are designed with three layers of sound insulation cotton, and all public areas are covered with pure wool carpets to minimize noise.

Many meeting rooms are also thoughtfully equipped with a fogging function to ensure the privacy of the meeting.

Ergonomic chairs are now ubiquitous and standard equipment. Snail Games even gives each new employee a subsidy of 1500 yuan, just to help you decorate your workspace and create a more homely atmosphere.

Many employees like to come to the common break area during their breaks and relax with a coffee.

In front of the tall, bright floor-to-ceiling windows, dappled sunlight gently spilled around. Watching the beautiful and elegant women passing by, I felt so relaxed and happy sitting in the rest area!

The office area is the most central location, and all kinds of facilities and benefits are fully utilized.

The most outrageous thing is that even the cleaning staff are professional cleaning companies. Fortunately, they hold regular employee votes, giving them the right to decide whether to change cleaning companies.

With this policy in place, the company became incredibly clean.

The office building was so clean and bright, the floor was practically a mirror!

After all, while Snail Games has strict requirements, they also pay a lot of money. No company boss would be willing to lose such a major client as Snail Games.

The biggest change is in the employees' mindset. Especially now that Snail Games has become a well-known company, it's a source of great pride to talk about it in front of family and friends.

It's worth noting that last year, Snail Games was still a little-known, unknown company.

At the time, Snail Games was in its development stage, with rapid business expansion and a severe shortage of talent. But no one knew whether it would rise to prominence.

In just one year, Snail Games has already become a major player in the mobile game industry.

By this time, Snail Games had a well-established recruitment system, and it would be very difficult to join Snail Games without solid technical skills and abilities.

At this moment, no one understood it better than Wang Yuan.

He has now become the team leader of the planning department.

He was just an intern at the time, but Wang Yuan's suggestions were taken seriously by Li Haoyu. Actually, Wang Yuan was under a lot of pressure; when he came for the internship, his academic qualifications and experience were quite advanced.

But now, in Snail Games, there are more and more people with higher education, better schools, and stronger abilities than him.

If he applies for a job at Snail Games based on his previous qualifications...

For him, getting the job is harder than climbing to heaven.

Clash of Clans has only been online for a few months, but it has already dominated the top spot on the paid app charts for several consecutive months, and the profits it generates must be quite astonishing.

Don't be fooled by the fact that Clash of Clans only offers one way to recharge: gems.

However, many people simply cannot bear the waiting time for Clash of Clans to upgrade, and these game players have a strong ability to continue paying.

Wang Yuan felt proud to see the success of Clash of Clans.

As Li Haoyu's number one fan, he admired Li Haoyu's unerring calculations even more. He really wanted to know how Li Haoyu's brain was structured.

How come there are so many ingenious ideas?

Unfortunately, Mr. Li no longer gives lectures once a week as he used to.

Wang Yuan hadn't seen Li Haoyu at the company for a long time, which was a real pity.

The latest version of Clash of Clans has now been updated.

His work is not as busy as before.

He can even slack off now.

For a game designer, this is probably the most relaxed time of his life. He really doesn't have much to do right now.

Wang Yuan leaned back in his chair at his workstation and picked up his phone to scroll through messages. As a key member of the core production department, he had been having a smooth run of success lately, raking in project bonuses left and right.

Because he joined Snail Games very early, he received a generous bonus even for "2048," a game that Wang Yuan didn't participate in at all.

As for "Don't Tap the White Tile" and "Clash of Clans," his rewards as a key creator have increased exponentially.

To put it simply, Wang Yuan was able to buy a house outright in his hometown after working at Snail Games for less than a year.

Wang Yuan, who had just graduated not long ago, was even worried about how he would make a living in the future. But now, he has achieved the most basic financial freedom.

Wang Yuan is now living a very fulfilling life, and he's even starting to think about finding a girlfriend to settle down with.

Such a stark contrast even made Wang Yuan feel guilty.

He often recalled that time in the conference room when Li Haoyu picked him out from the crowd and gave him the opportunity to showcase his talents. At that moment, Wang Yuan secretly resolved that as long as Li Haoyu didn't mind, he would work for Snail Games for the rest of his life.

As the saying goes, a scholar will die for his confidant.

Whenever he had free time, Wang Yuan felt a pang of guilt. 🍓 ⋆ 🍦 🎀 6000.🌸🌸🎀 🍦 ⋆ 🍓 But if he made himself busy, it would seem too hypocritical… He wasn't the type to put on a show.

That's really embarrassing.

Wang Yuan also had ambitions; he wanted to create a new game like Clash of Clans from scratch. Unfortunately, it was too difficult, and Wang Yuan knew that he was only of average ability.

He may be able to complete the assigned tasks, but it will be difficult for him to achieve a breakthrough from 0 to 1.

The planning of a game involves everything from the initial idea, through market research, requirements analysis, defining requirements, design, development, testing, to the final product launch...

It's all so complicated and confusing that it's impossible to keep track of everything.

Only after he personally followed up on the project did Wang Yuan realize just how much effort is required to complete a game project.

However, Wang Yuan felt that he had grown a lot and learned a lot more during the process.

He also inquired with his superior, Huang Huibo.

But according to Huang Huibo...

Snail Games doesn't have any new game plans lately; everything depends on Li Haoyu's arrangements. We'll let him use this time to learn and improve himself, and then we'll go all out when Mr. Li gives the order.

As a typical "bookworm," Wang Yuan felt uneasy about having nothing to do. He opened the forum on his blog, hoping to see if there was any new information.

Because the forum on Woju is really easy to use, with a simple interface that makes you feel very at ease.

Spending time on forums will reveal many interesting bloggers, such as adorable pet bloggers, tech guru tutorials, and of course, beautiful photos of fitness enthusiasts.

Actually, Wang Yuan wasn't very interested in these things, but that didn't stop him from appreciating them from an aesthetic point of view.

But everyone seems to be very busy lately, and fewer and fewer girls are posting photos. At this rate, Wang Yuan might not have many photos left.

It seems we still need to stock up on some fresh girls.

Wang Yuan silently decided that he would only look at a few more girls before he had to focus on his studies and improve his skills.

"strangeness?

This post didn't get many likes.

Why should it be ranked first?

Is this some kind of cover-up?

Wang Yuan found it strange, even a little resentful. He himself was a loyal user of the forum, yet none of his posts had ever been pinned.

Wang Yuan glanced through it and found that it was just a blank account, without even a forum title.

What exactly makes him so special?

Wang Yuan browsed through it carefully.

"What the heck? It's a post from CEO Li, and an internal open letter at that?"

Wang Yuan couldn't contain his curiosity any longer; he wanted to see immediately what President Li had said.

This must be an unconventional open letter.

The concept of an open letter is actually quite absurd. It was originally intended for confidentiality, conveying information only to a small group of people. However, in recent years, open letters have become a tool for brainwashing business leaders.

Wang Yuan believed that President Li's open letter was definitely not like those "pretentious and cheap" ones.

He clicked on the post with great anticipation, because Wang Yuan himself felt that he needed a "shot in the arm" to pull his wandering mind back from the young lady.

That's absolutely sinful!

He even felt that not only himself, but other employees should also be on high alert.

Wang Yuan felt that Snail Games was great in every way, except that its management was too flat and the atmosphere was too relaxed.

But after carefully reading through it, Wang Yuan felt even more puzzled.

What exactly is going on?

This open letter is so strange. Instead of encouraging people to work hard, it has a strong anti-motivational vibe. Is this really an open letter from President Li?

Could it be an imposter?

However, I noticed that the account ID was Mr. Li's exclusive number, 10001.

This account cannot be faked.

With deep respect for Li Haoyu, Wang Yuan read the text several times, pondering its spirit.

Life is too short to be so attached.

"Is it really worth giving up your entire life just for money?"

"Work as you please, as long as you're happy."

"When you learn to let go, you'll find everything around you is so wonderful. Just do your best. Once you've tried your best, you don't need to care about the result."

Wang Yuan couldn't help but scratch his head; the article's view on prices was far too negative and pessimistic.

This article expresses an attitude that suggests a lack of professional ambition, even a complete lack of drive, and a general sense of complacency. The contrast is quite stark.

Wang Yuan couldn't help but rub his eyes.

The boss telling his subordinates to completely give up and not strive is a scene straight out of a fantasy novel…

Even Wang Yuan, who is Li Haoyu's number one fan, is now involved.

I don't know how to explain it to him.

At that moment, he even began to wonder if Mr. Li had really made a mistake, or if he had just drunk too much late at night and impulsively wrote this article.

Wang Yuan refreshed the page again and found that the open letter had instantly received many more replies and comments. It's safe to say that 80-90% of the people at the game company are night owls.

Everyone also enjoys browsing the company's internal forum.

During the day, we're often preoccupied with various trivial matters, working and busy with our own things. Evenings are when most people have time to go online. After all, the daytime belongs to life, while the night truly belongs to ourselves.

At this time, everyone likes to browse the internal forum to see what's going on in the company. Everyone was surprised to see that Mr. Li, the perennial lurker, had actually posted something.

The entire comment section instantly erupted in excitement.

Everyone wants to be the first to comment and jump on the bandwagon.

"Arrest this eternal pigeon spirit!"

"This article is so awkward, but it's kind of addictive."

Is life really that boring and dull for the wealthy?

"Hahaha... The comments are saying that Mr. Li's account might have been hacked... Hahaha, that's hilarious."

"Adding 1 to the upstairs comment is actually quite possible (serious face)."

Because of the anonymous comments, and because Snail Games has always had a great atmosphere.

The comment section was instantly filled with many witty remarks.

Even Wang Yuan was amused; the comments section is full of talented people!

However, many people with normal thinking share the same doubts as Wang Yuan.

What kind of boss is this? Not only does he not allow his employees to work hard, but he also encourages them to slack off?

What kind of brain circuit is this?

While some people were puzzled, the post became increasingly popular, and many employees saw the pinned open letter and began to analyze it from their own perspectives.

"I think I understand Mr. Li's deeper meaning now. Mr. Li must mean that this is a way of living towards death, tragic but not passive. Be a positive pessimist, strive and fight, and failure is to be expected."

"That makes sense. Loving your life doesn't mean giving up; it just means accepting what comes your way. That's how we can work harder."

"Brothers, I'm moved to tears. While other companies are all touting that without pressure there is no motivation."

"Mr. Li, however, humorously reminded us that we should learn to let go of pressure and move forward with a light heart! I could feel Mr. Li's deep concern for us between the lines!"

"I understand now. It's like snails, those inconspicuous creatures you can see everywhere—in corners, in grass, in cracks in rocks. Snails may not look impressive, but they have their own principles."

"Even knowing we're climbing slowly, we still forge ahead, never thinking of giving up. This spirit of perseverance and never giving up—that's the spirit of the snail!"

Each post offers analysis from a different perspective.

Each one makes a valid point.

Wang Yuan also grasped the "meaning" behind this outrageous open letter.

So that's how it is! I was too shallow; I actually tried to fathom the unfathomable Mr. Li with my own limited understanding.

On the surface, this seems like a way to tell everyone to relax, but in reality, it's true that President Li is shouldering the most pressure for the company and doesn't want us to feel any pressure, so he used this euphemistic approach.

Indeed, there is no such thing as a peaceful and tranquil life.

It's just that we have Mr. Li helping us carry the burden.
