Mortal Kombat: Scumbag Men Stealing Away Yandere Girls

Among planning roles, those with high barriers to entry, whose value increases over time, and those with high monetary value are those involving numerical values ​​and level design.

In the industry, the most common roles for game designers and producers who can rise to the position of lead designer or producer are those related to numerical values ​​and systems—they are often the group of people who understand the core of the game best.

Few writers become producers, and most games made by writers who become producers tend to be top-heavy.

It is beautiful on the outside, but unstable and complicated on the inside.

Bai Weiran wanted to help Guoguo get projects in the future, but Guoguo didn't appreciate it.

Let whoever wants to take on projects take them; she doesn't want to stay in a first-tier city, where her income is only enough to buy a small apartment. She's working herself to the bone to climb the ladder; she just wants to take advantage of the good times and sell her youth for a few more years.

If she can't stay any longer and the company lays her off, she'll take her full pockets and go back to her hometown. Housing prices are cheaper there, so she can move back in, buy another apartment to rent out, and spend her time at home writing content she enjoys on her laptop.

You don't need much money. Every day, you can have vegetables, noodles, and Lao Gan Ma chili sauce. If you want to splurge, treat yourself to an egg, ham, or luncheon meat.

We'll get another dog then, named Xiao Guoguo.

Guoguo grinned as she thought about this.

She looked around and saw Sheng Nan listening to the lecture with Dong Zhengyuan and Li Liang. She was even happier when she saw this. She nudged Bai Weiran with her elbow and made him look at Dong Zhengyuan.

Today's lecturer is a foreigner. His Chinese is fairly fluent, but foreign words occasionally appear in some of the work briefings and course vocabulary.

Bai Weiran and Guoguo are both highly skilled, so they have no problem communicating in that little bit of foreign language.

Dong Zhengyuan is a complete slacker. He joined the company during its early stages, and his abilities are all over the place. It's obvious at a glance that he didn't understand. He was scratching his head, but he was also afraid that others would find out that he didn't understand. He was very guilty. His expression was sometimes absent-minded, sometimes looking around, and sometimes pretending to concentrate and nodding in agreement. He was too dramatic and stood out in the crowd.

Bai Weiran and Guoguo locked eyes and exchanged knowing, mischievous smiles.

Li Liang noticed and glanced in their direction.

Seeing that no one else was paying attention, Bai Weiran took the opportunity to wink at his old friend in a friendly manner.

But Li Liang's response was to play the villain to the end. He coldly raised his hand, pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses, gave a forced smile, and turned his head away with a haughty and disdainful expression.

Guoguo muttered to herself.

"This guy really deserves an Oscar. Good for him, your friend might have chosen the wrong path in life."

Bai Weiran nodded with a smile.

After a morning of classes, Bai Weiran and Guoguo were packing up to leave when they bumped into Dong Zhengyuan, Shengnan, and Li Liang chatting in front of the door.

It wasn't a coincidence; Sheng Nan was deliberately waiting for Bai Weiran and Guo Guo at the door, her smile radiant.

"Weiran, you've come at the perfect time! I was just praising Li Liang!"

"He did a great job with this anniversary event. The number of new players and the return of old players were the highest in two years, which boosted the revenue of the entire operations team."

Bai Weiran raised an eyebrow.

Anniversary celebrations are usually the biggest events of the entire year for a game, providing the most resources and generating the highest expectations.

Generally, it is personally managed by the lead planner or producer of the project, or at the very least by a senior planner with many years of experience in the project.

Li Liang wasn't a senior planner with years of experience in the project, and he had no personal relationship with Sheng Nan before, so how could the producer entrust the anniversary celebration to him, bypassing everyone else?

Bai Weiran was filled with admiration at the skill and ingenuity involved.

After a while, my old friend, despite being suppressed by a group of royal relatives, has become even more resilient and has risen to a higher level.

The life of a corporate slave is best left unsaid; too much talk leads to tears.

Dong Zhengyuan's smile carried a hint of gloom, and it was also a fake smile.

"Yeah, Weiran, didn't your team keep saying they needed an experienced planner? Why didn't you ask Li Liang back then? Not only is he good at numerical calculations, but his other abilities—well, they're just as good as yours! You don't mind me saying this, do you? Don't mind me, I'm just a straightforward person."

Guoguo watched the whole thing from the sidelines, observing Dong Zhengyuan and Shengnan's back-and-forth banter, while Li Liang played the aloof villain in the middle. She wanted to laugh but dared not, unable to betray the undercover agent.

Her face flushed slightly as she tried to widen her eyes, looking somewhat angry but unable to speak out.

“Yes, I hadn’t thought of contacting him before, what a pity,” Bai Weiran gently echoed.

"But now that we've all joined Shile, we'll still be colleagues, so there's still a chance for us to work together."

Li Liang slowly lowered his head.

His height is actually about the same as Bai Weiran's, but his arrogant and aloof demeanor and the fact that he always holds his chin up give people the illusion that he is taller than Bai Weiran.

"Is it that you didn't think of it, or that you didn't want to look for it?"

His dismissive tone made you want to punch him in the face.

"You mentioned collaboration at your previous company, but it didn't work out and you left. I hope this time it won't be just empty talk again—"

Bai Weiran really did say that.

Li Liang was deeply saddened when he was about to leave his job.

The same sentence, spoken with a different person and tone, has a completely different effect.

It only makes one feel that Li Liang is repeatedly rubbing against Bai Weiran's wounds from being forced to resign.

Bai Weiran could only suppress his laughter.

He remembered how Nana had scolded him all night for his stiff acting.

If he had even 20% of Li Liang's skill, he wouldn't have been so embarrassed that he stayed up all night.

"I can't guarantee anything, life is unpredictable, but I will try my best to stay until the day we can work together," he replied, his words carrying a deeper meaning.

Dong Zhengyuan was also pleased to see Guoguo's face turn red.

He had long disliked this copywriter, who always looked down at him with her head down, as if he had wronged her. When he made a request to her, she would give him the look of "[Please, boss, reconsider this request. This is unreasonable. Copywriters don't do things this way. The illustrator will be angry.]".

Guoguo doesn't have as much self-control as Bai Weiran. She's straightforward and honest, and although she doesn't say it, her passive resistance is written all over her face.

Although Dong Zhengyuan's professional skills were lacking, he possessed a cunning and shrewdness that was typical of a petty person. Just as flies are most sensitive to the smell of rotten food, they buzzed in.

Guoguo had repeatedly resisted passively, even bringing Bai Weiran along as a mediator, which made him see her as a troublemaker.

I wanted to teach her a lesson even more.

He promised to give feedback at 3 PM, but he kept delaying, saying he didn't have time to look at it. He made Guoguo wait for him at the company until 10 PM. Guoguo couldn't take it anymore and wanted to leave, but Dong Zhengyuan immediately stood up, casually gave two ambiguous feelings, and asked Guoguo to change it to late at night.

"I feel like something's not right. You know why, right?"

"This level is just average. I said it was okay before, but now I think it's not. A masterpiece needs to be perfected. Let's start over."

If Bai Weiran hadn't been promoted to producer this year, kicked out Dong Zhengyuan, and maintained peace within the team, Guoguo might not have survived past next year and would have faced the consequence of being subtly forced out.

After Bai Weiran took over, he immediately promoted Guoguo. The two relied on each other, and the project flourished.

Dong Zhengyuan now dislikes Guoguo just as much as he dislikes Bai Weiran; Guoguo's unhappiness makes him happy.

When petty people become arrogant and conceited, they are prone to making careless and boastful remarks.

"How about I give Li Liang to you?"

Upon hearing this, Sheng Nan and Li Liang both frowned and looked at him.

Bai Weiran and Guoguo stared wide-eyed.

Sheng Nan: Am I the producer or are you the producer? I didn't say it was okay, and you brought it up first. Who are you?

Li Liang: My goal is not Bai Weiran's position.

Bai Weiran: All my efforts were for nothing, but it's not bad to send it back.

Guoguo: Holy crap, this is showing the lowest possible level of intelligence!

Dong Zhengyuan, unaware of the different thoughts in the four people's minds, continued to gloat.

"Haha, but even if I gave it to you, you wouldn't dare take it, would you?"

Bai Weiran felt that this idiot would only make things worse if he kept talking. He didn't even think that putting Li Liang in his group would cause trouble. He suggested that Sheng Nan put Li Liang in his group, because that would ruin Li Liang's life plan. So he quickly smiled and went along with it.

"That's right."

"It's a waste for Li Liang to come here. He's very useful. It's better for him to stay in the operations team."

Dong Zhengyuan didn't even catch the slope, and was smug.

"Indeed, your project doesn't even have any revenue and can't be self-sufficient. How much bonus can you give him?"

"Looking at the revenue figures for this anniversary celebration, our project bonuses are sure to be substantial. Weiran, you need to put in even more effort! You know, I used to have the highest hopes for you in the team. You're so smart, everyone says you're smart, you can't let everyone down—"

Bai Weiran noticed that Sheng Nan frowned again.

The amount of bonus and the performance rating are all decided by the producer.

Dong Zhengyuan really got carried away.

Bai Weiran never cared about people's private affairs, but he suddenly wanted to know what kind of performance evaluation Sheng Nan would give Dong Zhengyuan this year; that would definitely be a great joy.

The game between adults isn't about words, it's about real, tangible interests.

Each of the five had their own thoughts, and they said goodbye with forced smiles.

As they passed each other, Li Liang glanced at Bai Weiran, a rare smile in his eyes.

Bai Weiran returned to his workstation and opened the new message on WeChat Work.

[A-Chao Super Burn: Wei Ran, Wei Ran, Wei Ran, have you seen it? Our company's new virtual streamer avatar is so cool—I've been looking at it all morning.]

[Ah Chao Super Cooking: [Video]]

[A-Chao Super Burn: I also heard that this person has a real-life persona, and that the person is actually a game streamer.]

[A-Chao Super Burn: Wei-Ran, look!! Our company finally has a decent virtual YouTuber! I'm crying, I'm crying—]

Bai Weiran couldn't help but laugh.

Unexpectedly, A-Chao is actually a subtle virtual streamer enthusiast.

When he saw the video title, his hand, which was clicking the mouse, stopped.

A white-haired, red-eyed loli girl, looking like a complete couch potato, is fast asleep with her eyes closed on a soft, fluffy sofa.

The girl next to her was holding a rag doll, decorated with flowers and lace. She was also holding a long wood-chopping knife wrapped in a small duck down comforter. The pink duck reflected the cold wood-chopping knife, creating a scene that was both soft and cute, yet also gleaming with a chilling light.
