Chapter 221 Mi Meng (6k subscription required)

Criticism and stares are a power in themselves.

When hundreds of eyes are staring at you, pointing and whispering to each other, Ma will always avoid them, Lei will always lower his head, and even people from his motherland will hesitate for a while. Only a person at the level of Great Love Tianzun can refine the atmosphere here in an instant.

obviously.

Yang Junfei and his men did not have the courage to confront the gaze of the crowd.

After Lu Yao announced the result of the handling on the podium, he patted the microphone in his hand and continued: "In addition to the few people I just mentioned, there are some other employees whose behaviors are not so serious. I hope that everyone here can adjust their mentality and work together in a friendly manner to create the future."

After that, Lu Yao bowed to everyone in the audience: "Thank you everyone."

With the final speech, the rectification campaign within the company officially began. Lu Yao hopes to see a good working atmosphere of unity, mutual assistance and mutual benefit in the future.

As Lu Yao walked down from the stage, many new employees began to applaud his receding back, and then other old employees followed suit.

The applause in the Great Hall was thunderous and lasted for a long time.

After Lu Yao disappeared from the stage, people from various project teams and departments began to leave the conference hall in an orderly manner under the arrangement of senior executives, but during this process, no one paid attention to the group of arrogant and powerful generals headed by Yang Junfei.

Even after the hall was completely empty, Yang Junfei and the dozen or so people were still sitting in the hall.

They were very confused. They didn't know where to go and could only sit there in silence and confusion.

The empty and dim auditorium was like their empty and dim future.

After a long time.

Chen Li came to sit in the front row of seats where Yang Junfei and his group sat. He stared at the podium in front of him, which had been turned off, and said calmly, "I warned you a long time ago, but you guys kept disobeying my orders and made the project team a mess."

Yang Junfei had a gloomy face and said nothing.

Sun Jun quickly stood up from his seat and approached Chen Li, hesitantly saying: "Boss, we know we were wrong. Please talk to Mr. Lu. We really know we were wrong and we will definitely correct it in the future!"

Chen Li ignored them.

He knew that these people didn't know they were wrong, they just knew they had been fired.

Nowadays, it is rare to find companies with good treatment like Nanguang'an in the market. Although those first- and second-tier large companies have good treatment, the work pressure there does not just come from the work itself.

Chen Li came from a big factory, and he knows the ecosystem of big factories very well.

So no matter how much Sun Jun begged, Chen Li did not give in.

The current situation is that Lu Yao has already made the final statement in front of the entire Guang'an Online Game Company. How low does his EQ have to be to think of begging for mercy in this situation?

Not only will it be useless, it will also ruin his favor with his boss.

Chen Li said calmly, "I'll give you a piece of advice this time. This was our last act of goodwill. The company will give you all the compensation you deserve. Hand over your work properly, take the money and leave. Don't think about doing anything weird."

He said this to Yang Junfei.

A young, energetic and talented technical talent like Yang Junfei was singled out by Lu Yao in front of hundreds of people... The relationship network of this group of people is quite complicated, and the reason why they were expelled will probably spread within the circle soon.

In this situation, if Yang Junfei couldn't stand it and did something weird, then they might really be doomed.

Chen Li, a middle-aged man, is well aware of their boss's methods.

After saying that, Chen Li shook off Sun Jun's hand, stood up and left the conference hall.

Sun Jun's defense was broken. He stared at Yang Junfei with a distorted face: "It was all your damn good idea. Now it's over! We're fired! Are you happy? Fuck!"

Others also accused:
"We should have listened to the boss earlier. Losing our jobs is a small matter now. If this gets out in the circle, how are we going to find jobs?"

Li Jianguo, who was usually the most depressed and listless but the most malicious, suddenly rushed to Yang Junfei and grabbed his collar: "Are you fucking mute? Aren't you usually very talkative?"

Yang Junfei looked down at his collar, then looked up at Li Jianguo, who was wearing glasses and had sparse hair, and said expressionlessly, "You want to hit me? Do you dare?"

Yang Junfei stood up and almost got face to face with Li Jianguo: "Coward, I don't believe you can get hard."

"you!"

Li Jianguo was so angry that his face turned purple, but he really didn't dare to do it.

Yang Junfei slapped Li Jianguo's hand away, then turned around to look at this group of people. Usually they were very happy to bully newcomers, but now they were acting like women.

After scanning the crowd, he said, "Since the company is not kind and righteous, then you can't blame us for being unrighteous."

Sun Jun, looking as droopy as an eggplant hit by frost, said, "Stop messing around. Have you forgotten about the two people who were sent in last year to get a stable job?"

Yang Junfei sneered, "If we don't do something, once this gets out, no one in the circle will want us. Who of you wants to join me?"

Under Yang Junfei's scrutiny, Li Jianguo lowered his head, thought for a moment, and said, "I'll give it to you!"

He has a mortgage and a two-story self-built house in his hometown. Now is the time when he needs money, so he can only fight to the end.

After Li Jianguo, there are three or four more people who will join Yang Junfei.

The remaining few people no longer trusted Yang Junfei, so they left the meeting hall with Sun Jun.

A week later, the group of people led by Yang Junfei handed over their work at hand, packed up the things on their desks, and left Guangan Network Company one after another under the gazes of the company's new and old employees.

The news that they were fired from Shangnan Guangan has spread in the gaming industry.

The game development circle is not big to begin with, and this group of developers was recruited by Gan Xiaoxi from major developed cities across the country. These people already have their own circles.

So after Yang Junfei and his team were fired, the news quickly spread throughout the game development circles in cities like Dahai City, Beijing, Chengdu, Chongqing, Shenzhen, and Guangzhou.

The Penguins naturally received the news.

So after Yang Junfei and his colleagues were confirmed to be fired and left Shangnan Guang'an, Zeng Lun went to visit Mr. Ren of Penguin Interactive Entertainment Group after get off work with some small gifts.

Last time he went back to ask Mr. Ren for help, Mr. Ren did not hide anything and explained his ideas to Zeng Lun.

When Zeng Lun talked about this matter with his family afterwards, he told them that if there was any result, he should remember to bring some small gifts and have a good talk with Mr. Ren.

Since Mr. Ren is willing to give some advice, it means that Mr. Ren does not dislike Zeng Lun and even admires him a little.

After this matter is over, he will go over to report and communicate, and after a few visits, a half-master-disciple relationship will be established between them.

Zeng Lun came to visit, and as soon as he entered the door, he said happily: "Mr. Ren, you are so amazing! Just a little bit of action can seriously damage the vitality of Shangnan Guang'an. More than a dozen people were fired at once, and they are said to be the middle-level technical backbones of the project team."

Mr. Ren, who was at home in his home clothes, said with a smile, "Come on, what else do you want to bring? Come and sit down."

After Mrs. Ren poured tea for Zeng Lun, she left Mr. Ren and Zeng Lun to chat in the study.

Zeng Lun has worked hard to learn a lot about the ways of the world and polite words during this period, so Zeng Lun continued: "So young people like me still have to learn from you. The means you used this time can be called an open conspiracy, which is almost unsolvable."

This completely plays to the weaknesses of human nature. Not only is it difficult to guard against, but once it takes effect it is also very difficult to deal with.

Originally, I heard that the "Shoot It" project team over at Nanguan'an was short of manpower. After this wave, they are really hurt. In the future, the gap between Penguin's "Legend of the Brave" and the "Shoot It" project team will only get bigger and bigger.

After Zeng Lun praised him and explained the process of his own analysis and summary, Mr. Ren felt very comfortable and at ease.

Mr. Ren is not young anymore.

At his age, he has seen and eaten everything, and he no longer cares about many relatively low-level desires, but the sense of accomplishment and development that comes from being a teacher is still great.

So even though Mr. Ren could hear the flattery in Zeng Lun's tone, he still accepted it.

He felt that he could make sense of it, and then he pointed out Zeng Lun's inconsiderateness, saying, "This matter is actually a trap that Guangan Network dug for itself. It is actually a taboo for a company to be so high-profile, especially in personnel rewards."

This thing can easily arouse jealousy from peers and also make the internal atmosphere of the company become arrogant and extravagant.

So some people who run businesses may offer higher benefits, or spend money like Lu Yao did, but they don’t do what Lu Yao did, posting it online and even creating something like “Shangnan Brilliant Night” to promote it…

This is very inconsiderate.

Mr. Ren continued, "So I just went with the flow this time. Mr. Lu from Shangnan also reacted very quickly. He used the performance to attack as soon as the signs appeared and cut the Gordian knot."

Speaking of Lu Yao, Mr. Ren's facial expression and eyes showed a bit of appreciation.

Zeng Lun was a little speechless in his heart, but after such a long-distance fight, it was normal to have a sense of mutual respect.

When Zeng Lun was about to talk about something else, his phone vibrated in his pocket. He said sorry and took it out to see that it was a text message from an unfamiliar number. The text message said: "I am Yang Junfei from Guang'an Online Game Company. I have important strategic intelligence about Guang'an Online Game Company. I wonder if you are interested."

The moment he saw the text message, Zeng Lun's pupils began to dilate unconsciously.

He immediately handed his phone to Mr. Ren with both hands: "Mr. Ren, please take a look at this message."

Ren Jue came over to take a look, then raised his brows.

After thinking for a moment, Mr. Ren returned the phone to Zeng Lun and said, "Don't worry about it."

Zeng Lun was stunned: "Don't worry about it?"

Don't you need to pay attention to this?

Why?

Zeng Lun is still young after all, and wants to take advantage of this wave to soar to fame and establish his position within the group.

Because they did have some master-disciple relationship, Mr. Ren laughed and said, "This kind of person can go to heaven with just a little fanning of the wind and a little fire. He is useless. As for his so-called strategic intelligence... that's even more ridiculous."

They sent people to Shangnan to investigate for such a long time, and spent millions on this matter. They even used both overt and covert tricks to destroy the cooperation between Lu Yao and the two companies in Beijing.

But the result?

So much human, material and financial resources were invested, but in the end, nothing was gained. Shangnan's confidentiality and security work was done very well. Although Yang Junfei, who was fired, was once an internal staff member of Guangan Online Games, according to the departmental functional structure of Guangan Online Games Company, he could not know too much useful information.

So it’s better to avoid provoking such people.

Mr. Ren tapped his fingers on the armrest of the study chair in a regular rhythm: "Of course, you will wonder why we don't spend a little money to buy their intelligence?"

Zeng Lun smiled.

He really thought so in his heart.

Mr. Ren also speculated: "Let's not talk about whether Yang Junfei is willing to accept such a deal. Even if he is willing to accept it, I always feel that there is a trap behind this matter."

"Think about it, if you fire someone, you fire him. Of course, layoffs should be kept as low-key as possible. Very few companies would make a big fuss about it. But Mr. Lu from Shangnan didn't do that. Instead, he fired him in front of everyone in the company."

This is a show of no mercy at all.

It even seems like it was done on purpose.

Why did Mr. Lu do this on purpose?

Mr. Ren smiled on his round face. "I guess that Xiao Lu always wants to make things worse on purpose, and he even planned to push them to our side."

This is a predictable behavioral path.

When Mr. Ren was speculating on the possible behaviors, it was as if he was playing chess with an opponent thousands of miles away. The process of seeing through the opponent's next move and setting a trap for him was something Mr. Ren found very interesting.

Zeng Lun scratched his head: "Does Xiao Lu always think so much?"

Mr. Ren smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. What matters is to prevent such a possibility."

In the process of business development, there are actually not many times when you really need to bet your entire fortune on winning or losing. Usually only small companies will do this; and for large companies like them, the most important thing to do is to reduce mistakes.

……

It was the fourth day that Shangnan, Yang Junfei and others left the company.

After the May Day holiday, everyone returned to the company to continue working. Without Yang Junfei and a dozen other people doing things inside, although the individual workload of the "Shoot a Shot" project team increased sharply, the saved salary costs were distributed as bonuses, and the improved working atmosphere actually improved efficiency.

This made Chen Li, who had been hesitating, feel particularly guilty.

If he had fired Yang Junfei and others earlier, the company would have suffered less losses. He was still too indecisive in personnel management.

On the other side, Lu Yao was also meeting Gan Xiaoxi.

After May, the weather in Shangnan started to get a little hot, so Gan Xiaoxi and Lu Yao made an appointment to meet at a cold drink shop.

Under the parasol outside the cold drink shop, Gan Xiaoxi ate ice cream and smacked her lips and said, "I heard that Yang Junfei contacted Penguin, but Penguin ignored them."

Gan Xiaoxi knew that Lu Yao was planning something big, and also knew that Lu Yao was deliberately embarrassing Yang Junfei and the others in public, and spreading what they had done to completely ruin their reputation in the circle.

The purpose is to force Yang Junfei and the others into a desperate situation, so that they will do whatever they want and make some big noise. It would be best if he could drag the penguin into the water with him.

But the current situation is -

The penguins were slow to take the bait.

Lu Yao was drooping on the chair like a piece of cloth, his head tilted back out of the shade of the parasol, letting the May sunshine shine on his face.

Shangnan is a magical place.

The hottest summer is hotter than Guangdong and Guangxi in the southernmost part of the country, and the coldest winter is enough to make people from the Northeast shiver, but its spring and autumn are delightful.

May is the most comfortable time to go to Shangnan.

While basking in the sun, Lu Yao said, "In fact, I didn't expect Penguin to take the bait at first. They are such a big company, there must be people in the company who are more capable than me. It's normal for them to see through my intentions and not take the bait."

Gan Xiaoxi rolled her eyes: "You don't sound very sincere when you say that. Yang Qi from your company is very interesting. He once said -"

“Don’t assume that those who are well-known and successful in the industry today must have done something remarkable in the past.”

Gan Xiaoxi said happily: "That guy has a sharp tongue."

Lu Yao also said happily: "Yes."

Yang Qi is a very interesting person.

In the MOBA mobile game project team, it seemed that Feng Ji was leading the work progress, but in some particularly critical places, the person who became the backbone and helped Feng Ji make up his mind was Yang Qi.

Just as Lu Yao was chatting with Gan Xiaoxi, the mobile phone that Lu Yao usually used to browse social media and communicate with marketing accounts and water armies suddenly vibrated.

Lu Yao immediately jumped up and picked up his phone to check the message.

Gan Xiaoxi immediately followed suit and asked expectantly, "How is it?"

After taking a few glances, Lu Yao returned to his previous lazy look again: "Penguin still didn't fall for it. Yang Junfei and his team couldn't sit still anymore and started to throw dirty water on the company online."

As he spoke, Lu Yao pushed a cell phone to Gan Xiaoxi.

Gan Xiaoxi looked at the phone for a while and sighed, "The brain is not completely broken. He knows to push a female employee out to play the victim and seek sympathy. But this is far from enough, right?"

Lu Yao said: "Yes, it's not enough, but it's better than nothing."

Having said that, Lu Yao took the phone back and arranged for the internet trolls and marketing accounts to help them hype up the incident.

If this wave of events can attract some overseas-invested feminist accounts to join in the fun and make a big deal out of it, then it won’t be a loss.

As for not being able to catch the big fish of penguin...

There is nothing we can do about that.

It is normal for fishermen to fail to catch any fish, especially the rare big fish.

After Lu Yao arranged the tasks for the water army marketing account tonight, he put away his phone and stood up and said, "That's it, I'm going to go back first."

Gan Xiaoxi waved and tilted her head, looking super cute: "Bye~"

……

After leaving the company, Yang Junfei and others got together temporarily.

The text messages they sent to Penguin fell on deaf ears and there was no response. Their reputation in the circle had completely ruined, and when they called their former colleagues or superiors, they all avoided them as if they were the plague.

The enormous psychological and life pressures finally forced them to take risks and prepare to use online public opinion to burn their bridges.

Before doing this, they also collected information about Lu Yao's past achievements and found that although Lu Yao had been slandered many times in the past public opinion, because of his initial image as a scumbag and a ruined man, many attacks were meaningless to him.

In the end, those who suffered were those who slandered him.

So Yang Junfei and his team did not plan to attack Lu Yao this time, but directly targeted Guangan Network Company. The woman who was pushed in front of the camera was named Yang Shuping, a woman with some beauty.

In front of the camera, she played the role of a girl who was bullied in the workplace, and told the camera with tears in her eyes that she had suffered "unfair" workplace exploitation in the company.

The things she had done to the younger generation of newcomers were now said by her to be her own experiences.

Because she was a workplace bully, she described it so vividly that it actually sounded like the truth.

After talking about workplace bullying, they began to point the finger directly at the Guang'an Network Game Company itself, saying that Guang'an Network was hypocritical and that everything they did at the annual meeting was hype. In fact, this group of old employees who had made contributions just opened the meeting. What they were afraid of was that these old employees would take away more money in the future.

These arguments are actually not tenable, but the Internet has never been a place for reasoning. Netizens will stand on the side of whoever's emotions are more inflammatory.

And this time...

Lu Yaoze became the capitalist that everyone hates but everyone wants to be.

After Yang Shuping's accusation video was released, Yang Junfei and other old employees also started to repost videos to agree, and then invested money to buy traffic, hoping to ferment the matter and make a bigger fuss.

In this matter, as long as Guangan Network becomes discredited, they can clear themselves of the charges and their future will turn from bleak to bright!

It concerns their own future, so they all work very hard.

The purchased traffic did help Yang Junfei and his team’s videos attract a wave of reposts and attention, but it is still a long way to go to achieve economies of scale.

Later on, the internet trolls and marketing accounts in Lv Yao's MCN organization launched a massive attack, frantically forwarding comments to play the opposite role. With Lv Yao's instigation, their accusation video finally had some good traffic.

In the evening, Lu Yao looked at the video content, which had just over 100,000 likes and tens of thousands of reposts and comments, a considerable portion of which were from Internet trolls playing opposite roles. He couldn't help scratching his head in pain.

This little bit of traffic effect is not enough.

But that's all we can do for now.

Lu Yao put away his phone and went to sleep, preparing to arrange the follow-up of this matter the next day.

But in the middle of the night, the mobile phone that Lu Yao used to communicate with the marketing account suddenly started buzzing. Lu Yao got up with a confused look on his face, and found that it was the messages and calls from the leader of his navy.

Lu Yao flipped the page with his phone, and saw that the leader of his troll army had forwarded him a tweet from a public account.

The title of this public account tweet is "Workplace bitch: If you are weak, you deserve to die. If you want to cry, go back to your hometown and cry!"

The content of this article is sharp and critical. It criticizes everything from everything to everything. From the perspective of the jungle law of the workplace, it quotes Yang Shuping's videos and content to launch a fierce attack. The extremely venomous and emotional article quickly caused a lot of disgust and criticism in the public account circle, and then a large number of netizens began to forward it.

Netizens who agreed and disagreed were arguing fiercely in the comment section of the official account.

The author of this public account is——

"Mimeng".
