Reign of the Hunters-Chapter 383 Self Recommendation
Chapter 383 Self Recommendation
This was not Wang Jiangnanβs first time in the office of Glory Corporationβs director, but this was perhaps one of his most anxious moments in the office. Secretary Yan closed the door behind him as he walked into the office.ππ§πππ¬ππππvππ.cπm
Wang Jiangnan stood awkwardly by the door as he stared at the man sitting behind a large office table who was focused on the screen on his computer. He was typing away on his keyboard.
The man was the person in charge of the entire Glory Corporation. He a man nearing his forties, and despite his status, did not have on him expensive watches or fountain pens. The man had an aura about him that could reassure the people around him.
βDirector Qiao.β Wang Jiangnan called out to the man.
Qiao Liang lifted his head and smiled when he saw Wang Jiangnan. Even Wang Jiangnan had to admit that age is probably the best accessory that could be worn by a man. While Qiao Liangβs clothing was not expensive, he still gave off an air of maturity and elegance that presented him as superior to his subordinates and his business partners.
βHave a seat Jiangnan, Iβm working on something right now.β Qiao Liang motioned for Wang Jiangnan to have a seat before returning his attention to work.
Wang Jiangnanβs eyes drifted to the many things in the office as he sat in front of Qiao Liang, and finally settled on a large poster to his right. It was a poster promoting Fateβs closed beta test, but was never released to the public. The developers of the game had all signed their names on the poster before Fate was officially launched.
He had been in the directorβs office on several occasions before, but this was the only time he noticed the poster. The characters on the poster were not unique, but the names of many of his colleagues were written on the poster.
Wang Jiangnan found it ironic. Many of the names have already left the company.
It was indeed a troubling time.
The sight of the poster filled him with nothing but sorrow.
Qiao Liangβs voice snapped Wang Jiangnan out of his daze, βIt was very lively back then, wasnβt it?β
βDirector Qiao...β Wang Jiangnan opened his mouth to speak, but could not muster a response.
Qiao Liang was looking at the poster, but there was no hint of sadness on his face, βCompared to now, at least.β
Wang Jiangnan was shocked by how calm the director was. He knew that the company was facing huge difficulties at the moment, and he could not understand why the man sitting before him was still brimming with content and confidence, just like how he was when the company was at its peak.
βDirector Qiao, are you sad that so many have left?β Wang Jiangnan asked after a long moment of hesitation.
βSad?β Qiao Liang turned around to look at Wang Jiangnan, appearing to seriously ponder his question, βWhy would I feel sad?β
Wang Jiangnan was caught off guard by the question. It took him a long while before he could respond, βThe company had lost so many employees because of Heaven and Earth. Arenβt y-you...β and he could not find the words to continue his sentence.
Qiao Liang chuckled at him, βJust because of that? If itβs because of that, thereβs nothing to be sad about. People come together by chance of Fate. Even a child must part way with its mother at some point in life when the time is up. Thereβs no need to be sad. We still have a long road ahead of us.β
A smile finally appeared on Wang Jiangnanβs lips after a long while. The director was like a mountain that would not yield to the elements. It was one thing to preach about such a thing, and it took strength to truly live out such words. There was a reason why the man was at his current position at such a young age.
βAlright Jiangnan. What sort of business do you have with me? Youβre not here to resign, and Iβm sure youβre not here to have a heart to heart with me either.β Qiao Liang crossed his arms on his desk and stared intently at Wang Jiangnan.
The young man was looking at Qiao Liang, as if he did not hear what the director said.
βJiangnan?β Qiao Liang called out to him again when he continued remaining silent.
Wang Jiangnan then took in a deep breath, stood up, and walked up to Qiao Liang. He straightened his back, trying his best to calm his raging nerves, βDirector Qiao, I saw Boss Yu leaving just now.β
Qiao Liang raised his eyebrow. He was not surprised, βIndeed. He handed in his resignation letter two hours ago. Youβve all learned about it already? Not bad. News sure travels fast.β
βDirector Qiao...β Wang Jiangnan licked his lips. But he was cut off by Qiao Liang before his words could leave his mouth, βJiangnan, if youβre here to ask why Yu Ping left, Iβm sorry but I canβt tell you. Is there anything else?β
βI... Iβm not here because of that.β Wang Jiangnan shook his head.
βOh? Then why are you here?β Qiao Liangβs interest was piqued. Wang Jiangnan was the youngest developer in the company. He was so handsome that even Qiao Liang felt that Wang Jiangnan had wasted his appearance by not choosing a career as an actor.
But Wang Jiangnan was also one of the most hardworking employees in the company. And this was a quality that Qiao Liang respected. The young man had grown a lot during his two years working as a Glory Corporation employee.
But this was not why Qiao Liang was willing to spare so much time for Wang Jiangnan.
There was also another quality he found in the young man. His loyalty.
The young developer refused to leave the company even when his best friend Yu Ping chose to leave. Qiao Liang did not know why the young man made such a decision, but he wanted to meet with Wang Jiangnan, and he wanted to listen to what the young man had to say to him.
Wang Jiangnan lowered his head. Ye Ciβs words were still fresh in his mind. She once told him to not give up on his dreams. Are you short on money? Is it really worth it to betray your dreams because of that?
He took a deep breath, βDirector Qiao, do you have a suitable candidate for the position of lead developer yet?β
βI do not have one yet. What is it? Do you have a candidate?β Qiao Liang could already guess Wang Jiangnanβs intention when he heard the question. He had been in touch with many of the talented developers in the industry, but none of them had shown an interest in joining the company, βIf itβs suitable, I donβt mind considering that person.β
βDirector Qiao, have you considered me as a candidate?β Wang Jiangnan said with a smile. It was a question that had long since been kept in his heart.
βEh?β Qiao Liang was caught completely off guard.
And Wang Jiangnan immediately seized the opportunity to press the attack, βI know that Iβm still young, and lack the experience. But Director Qiao, Iβm here today not because of the spur of the moment. Iβve thought about it. The industry needs new ideas, and young men like me can help foster new ideas in the game. Iβm the youngest person in the development team, but doesnβt it mean that Iβll have more time to devote myself to the growth of Fate? Iβm sure youβve seen my work, and Iβm confident that Iβm on par with, if not better than, the experienced developers in our industry.β
βSo youβre here in hopes that youβll get the chance to see in what way youβll burn Fate to the ground?β asked Qiao Liang.
βWhat about a chance to bring Fate to a completely new height?β Wang Jiangnan was flowing with confidence at that very moment.
