Reborn to Make Games: My Girlfriend is a Game Streamer

Chapter 38 The Hidden Interview Assessment

That's how it is in the gaming industry. A producer who has just created a hit game and proven their business acumen is a magnet, naturally attracting a large number of followers.

Making a good first impression on him is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Chen Bainian took in the whole scene and quickly spoke up to control the situation and prevent a chaotic cacophony: "Okay, you're the one."

His gaze settled steadily on Cheng Zhixing, and he asked in a calm tone, "How should I address you?"

"Teacher Chen, my name is Cheng Zhixing!" the young man replied immediately, explaining clearly, "Cheng as in program, and Zhixing as in the unity of knowledge and action! I was the executive planner here before."

Being able to guide Chen Bainian made his face glow.

Seeing this, the others had no choice but to disperse and organize their resumes and portfolios, waiting for the next interview opportunity.

Qin Ming, on the other hand, was happy to have some peace and quiet, and stepped aside with a smile to become a quiet observer.

An interview journey incorporating real-world considerations begins.

Cheng Zhixing led the three to a spacious open area. "Professor Chen, this is the main open office area. It currently has 30 standard workstations, arranged in a 5x6 grid, so it's not crowded at all."

He gestured to the famous space: "And it has great potential. If we really want to expand, it can easily accommodate a team of 50 people. Of course, once it reaches that size, it will feel a bit cramped."

He then led the way east: "Over here was the former general manager's office, with a sofa and coffee table. The space and lighting were excellent. Next to it is the restroom, with two separate cubicles."

Upon reaching the sink, he did not push the door open and went inside, maintaining basic courtesy.

Chen Bainian wasn't just glancing at it casually; he was concerned about the potential problems that might arise during actual operation.

"How was the hardware here before? Was there any leakage or frequent repairs?" He directly asked one of the questions that managers were most concerned about.

"In the past six months or so, I haven't encountered any hardware problems," Cheng Zhixing answered honestly. "The only time was when the sewer was a bit clogged. After reporting it to the park management committee, they responded very quickly and immediately sent someone to unclog it. Their service was quite good."

After hearing this, Chen Bainian glanced at Qin Ming beside him.

Qin Ming wore a calm smile, as if to say that these were standard services that the park should provide.

Chen Bainian then asked, "Ming-ge, what are the approximate standards for the park's water, electricity, and property management fees?"

Qin Ming knew this like the back of his hand, clearly demonstrating a very solid foundation in his daily work: "Water and electricity are supplied according to the commercial standards of Lin'an City."

Electricity prices vary between peak and off-peak hours, averaging about 72 or 73 cents per kilowatt-hour.

The water cost is 5.5 yuan per ton. As for the property management fee, it's quite affordable for an office building of similar quality, at 6 yuan per square meter per month.

These are the basic operating costs for setting up shop here.

Chen Bainian nodded to indicate that he understood, while at the same time observing Cheng Zhixing discreetly.

Whether an executive planner possesses clear logic, fluent expression, and insight into details—these soft skills are fully revealed during the tour.

Cheng Zhixing may not have fully realized that from the moment he stepped forward, a practical test of his communication and coordination skills had already begun.

They continued on and arrived at the west side of the office area. Outside a bright glass door was a terrace that seemed to meet the sky.

"Teacher Chen, there's a complimentary terrace outside here, about twenty square meters. It's not particularly large, but it's a rare find as a relaxing space." Cheng Zhixing pushed open the glass door.

The soft sunlight of early spring poured down, bathing the entire platform.

Standing here and looking west, you can see the "Xiangshan Art Commune" still under construction on the other side of the river.

Inside the terrace door, facing north, is a quiet corridor.

Cheng Zhixing continued, "These three rooms on the inside of the corridor are independent offices, which can be used as finance offices, human resources offices, or small meeting rooms."

At the end of the corridor is a large conference room that can accommodate about twenty people.

The westernmost area is a separate relaxation area and water bar, with storage rooms and tea rooms located on either side.

After a detailed explanation, everyone returned to the starting point of the open office area.

"Teacher Chen, this is the general layout of Room 608." Cheng Zhixing had completed his guiding task.

"Thank you for your hard work, the presentation was very clear." Chen Bainian expressed his approval, and then gently gave the next instructions, "Go and prepare the materials needed for the interview, and also tell everyone that it's getting late, you can have lunch first. I'll be waiting for you here at one o'clock this afternoon."

After sending Cheng Zhixing away, Chen Bainian and Qin Ming exchanged a knowing glance, and the three of them walked into the spacious and bright general manager's office one after the other.

The door closed gently behind me, shutting out the noise from the outside world.

"Ming-ge, how big is this room actually?" Chen Bainian asked directly, his gaze sweeping over the simple layout of the room.

"The actual usable area is 240 square meters. The terrace is a bonus area and is not included in the property rights." Qin Ming answered crisply and then quoted the price, "To be honest, this is the best condition of the four locations I've brought today, and of course, the price per square meter is also the most expensive, 1.8 yuan per square meter per day."

Chen Bainian nodded without hesitation, took out his phone from his pocket, and opened the calculator app.

Long, slender fingers danced rapidly across the screen: 240 multiplied by 1.8, then multiplied by 30…

"Fourteen thousand fourteen thousand a month, excluding utilities." He looked up and read out the number calmly.

The price was rapidly swirling in his mind.

In Lin'an, with such a park environment, such hardware facilities, and such a large area, even if the location is relatively remote, the cost-effectiveness is already quite attractive.

More importantly, Qin Ming's professionalism, honesty, and service awareness throughout the meeting made him feel trustworthy.

Without much hesitation, Chen Bainian looked at Qin Ming and made a decision: "Brother Ming, we don't need to look at the other places, let's just go here. I also plan to register the company directly in our industrial park."

"Great!" Qin Ming's smile deepened noticeably, radiating the joy of reaching an agreement and a sense of relief.

"You don't need to worry about the procedures. We have a green channel for registration, seal making, and bank account opening. If you have all the materials, we can get everything done within a day."

I'll send you a list of what you need in a bit.

Seeing how thoughtfully and clearly the other party arranged the service, Chen Bainian's last bit of uncertainty dissipated.

He extended his hand and said sincerely, "Then I'll have to trouble you with all this, Ming-ge."

"It's my duty." Qin Ming gripped the handle tightly, his palm dry and warm.

The two briefly agreed on a specific time for the next submission of materials, and then Qin Ming took his leave.

Only Chen Bainian and Xu Haoran remained in the office for the time being.

"Let's go grab some food first; we'll start 'official work' this afternoon."

After taking one last look at the future base, the two left 608.

Sunlight streamed in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting long, dappled patterns on the polished floor.

The empty office still bears traces of the previous company's hasty departure, but the air already carries the faint scent of something new about to emerge.
