We agreed not to date, so why are you crying now that I've become the richest man?

Ten minutes later, the second candidate arrived.

Lu Yuan.

Around 25 years old, it's the golden age for programmers to work themselves to the bone.

He was wearing a slightly faded plaid shirt, jeans, and carrying a backpack.

His hair looked like a bird's nest, but his eyes shone like searchlights.

After he entered, he didn't look at the decoration first, nor did he stare blankly at Ye Chen's age.

His first words were:

"Mr. Ye, I heard from Consultant Zhang that you're making mobile games?"

Ye Chen looked at him and smiled.

"right."

"Have you done it before?"

Lu Yuan sat down and placed his bag at his feet.

"I've done it."

"But the company went bankrupt."

He spoke very directly, without any pretense.

Ye Chen was more interested.

Why did it collapse?

Lu Yuan gave a wry smile.

"The boss doesn't understand games."

"The money is only enough for three months, but they insist on doing a three-year project."

"Later, when they couldn't pay salaries, the team disbanded."

Ye Chen burst out laughing.

"A typical case of someone who's bad at games but loves to play, whose bank account balance can't support his dreams."

Lu Yuan was amused as well.

"almost."

The atmosphere immediately relaxed considerably.

Ye Chen pushed a bottle of mineral water over.

"If it were you, how would you choose the project?"

Lu Yuan thought for a moment.

"Start with the lightweight version."

"Simple gameplay, clear feedback, and short development cycle."

"Ideally, it should be online for verification within a month."

"If we survive, we can think about the next step."

Ye Chen leaned back in his chair and tapped the table lightly with his fingers.

That's not a fancy way of putting it.

But that's right.

People who have been toughed out by startups are often more reliable than those who can only write fancy resumes.

Ye Chen asked again:

"What if I asked you to make a clicker game?"

"The main character keeps falling, and the player taps the screen to make it rise; obstacles are generated randomly."

"The difficulty is so insane that it makes you want to smash your phone, but it's also so addictive that you can't help but play another round."

"How would you adjust it?"

Lu Yuan did not answer immediately.

He lowered his head and thought for more than ten seconds.

Then say:

"The first three times can't be too extreme."

"Players must believe they can do it from the start."

"The first obstacle has been widened."

"Take a little smaller for the second one."

"Try securing the third one."

"Once he feels he has the rhythm, then suddenly change the height difference."

"It's not simply difficult."

"It's to make him feel that he didn't accept his death just now."

Ye Chen stopped tapping the table.

That's just right.

This is the core of "The Angry Sparrow".

It's not difficult.

They disagree.

Lu Yuan continued:

"Death reports must be swift."

"Restart immediately after failure; don't keep players waiting."

"The longer the wait, the more likely he is to quit."

"Ideally, you should die once every ten seconds or so in each round."

"But restarting the next game only takes a second."

"So even though he was cursing, his body was very honest and he kept clicking 'restart' repeatedly."

Ye Chen finally smiled.

This person is not just a theorist.

I've definitely fallen into a big pit.

"Salary expectations?"

Lu Yuan was stunned for a moment.

The topic jumped so quickly that he almost couldn't keep up.

"Consultant Zhang told me that the budget is between 12,000 and 15,000."

"My previous monthly salary was nine thousand."

"If possible, I'd like 13,000."

Ye Chen looked at him calmly.

"Fifteen thousand."

Lu Yuan was stunned.

"what?"

"20% off during trial period".

Ye Chen's tone was steady, revealing an unquestionable decisiveness.

"One-month trial period."

"Passed. 15,000 yuan after probation."

"If the project performs well, the year-end bonus will be calculated separately."

Lu Yuan's Adam's apple bobbed.

In 2010, a monthly salary of 15,000 yuan was definitely the highest level of compensation in the industry.

He had prepared himself for a brutal price reduction.

Unexpectedly, the other party immediately increased the price.

This reverse price-cutting maneuver completely baffled him.

Ye Chen smiled, revealing his signature sunny and cheerful smile.

"take it easy."

"I don't like making empty promises about salary."

"If you're worth this price, I'll pay."

"It's not worth it. Let's part ways amicably in a month."

Lu Yuan was silent for a few seconds, then nodded emphatically.

"Can."

When can I start work?

"I am currently unemployed, available anytime."

Ye Chen nodded.

"Then tomorrow."

Lu Yuan was stunned again.

"So fast?"

"Aren't you always available?"

Lu Yuan opened his mouth, and finally smiled in complete acknowledgment.

"Okay, tomorrow."

Ye Chen stood up and extended his hand.

Welcome to Starry Sky Interactive.

Lu Yuan grasped his hand.

At this moment, the way he looked at Ye Chen was completely different.

When he first entered, he thought this company might be a hobby for some rich kid.

Now he is certain.

The 18-year-old boss in front of me understands products, timing, and people.

More importantly, he dares to make decisions and has a very broad vision.

As soon as Lu Yuan stepped out of the office after the interview, Ye Chen's phone lit up.

Zhang Bo sent a message:

"Mr. Ye, Han Yue is downstairs and will be up in five minutes."

Ye Chen replied with an "okay".

Five minutes later.

The glass door was gently pushed open.

Han Yue walked in.

She was twenty-six years old, with light makeup and delicate, attractive features.

The fitted white shirt was tucked into the skirt, highlighting her slender waist and budding curves in an extremely eye-catching way.

The black pencil skirt hugged her mature and well-proportioned hips.

Beneath her skirt, a pair of long, slender, white legs clad in low heels walked at a measured pace, exuding a capable and sophisticated professional aura.

She was visibly taken aback when she saw Ye Chen.

However, she quickly suppressed her surprise and nodded politely.

"Hello, Mr. Ye, I am Han Yue."

"Hello there."

Ye Chen pointed to the conference room.

"sit."

After Han Yue sat down, she neatly pushed her resume and copies of certificates in front of Ye Chen.

Ye Chen was quite satisfied with this detail.

Administrative positions are most prone to chaos.

Being able to organize information in advance in order at least shows that one is organized.

Ye Chen flipped through it and asked:

Why did you leave your previous company?

Han Yue answered very steadily.

"The company moved to Suzhou, but my home is in Shanghai, so it's inconvenient for me to move there."

"What were you responsible for before?"

"Administrative procurement, expense reimbursement processing, contract filing, property management, office supplies management, and I also have to work part-time as a financial assistant."

"Startups have so many things going on, it's like a tangled mess. Can they handle it all?"

"Can."

Han Yue paused, then added.

"But I hope the process is as clear as possible."

Ye Chen smiled.

"That's a good request."

"I don't like chaos either."

"Starry Sky Interactive is just starting out, things will be complicated, but they will never be chaotic."

As he spoke, he pushed a piece of paper over.

The above is the list of administrative tasks he made last night.

Office supplies procurement.

Contract archiving.

Financial coordination.

Employee onboarding documents.

Social security and housing provident fund.

Supplier list.

Fixed asset registration.

Han Yue looked at the list, her expression gradually becoming serious.

She originally thought that this young boss might just be rich and have ideas, but his management style would be very casual.

Unexpectedly, the other party had already clearly broken down what the first administrative phase should entail.

This is not a makeshift operation.

It's definitely not your average amateur troupe.

Ye Chen asked:

What salary do you expect?

Han Yue thought for a moment.

"Eight thousand."

"I can accept a 20% discount during the trial period."

Ye Chen nodded.

"Can."

"One-month trial period."

"8,500 after probation."

Han Yue's beautiful eyes widened slightly as she looked up at him.

"Eight thousand five?"

"Um."

Ye Chen spoke in a relaxed tone.

"You'll have a lot of responsibilities."

"I don't want you to be working while mentally complaining about how stingy your boss is."

Han Yue was amused.

That smile added a touch of gentleness to her otherwise delicate features.

"Thank you, Mr. Ye."

"You're welcome."

Ye Chen said with a smile:

"If you can manage the company's logistics well, you've already saved me a lot of hair."

Han Yue smiled again.

When can I start work?

"My handover is complete, and it should be finished by the day after tomorrow at the earliest."

"Then the day after tomorrow."

Ye Chen stood up and shook hands with her.
