At the start, I tricked the school beauty, and ended up with twins?

Shengda Game Building, Mobile Game Operations Department.

Zheng Shou hung up the phone and took a deep breath.

Then he turned around to face all the employees working in the lobby, "Everyone needs to step it up! We must connect all channels before two o'clock this afternoon."

"The traffic flooding into our platform this time might be much larger than last time!"

As the platform host for the new game Summoning God Dragon, Zheng Shou felt immense pressure this time.

Because he also saw the emulator and Divine Dragon flame wars that were wildly circulating online.

Although he didn't understand why fans of two games from the same company would attack each other,

he knew that the publicity heat was simply too huge.

If the previous emulator's traffic was at the million level, this time Divine Dragon's traffic would definitely be at the five million level!

With his department's old servers, they really might not be able to handle it.

These past few days, he had been running around the company, connecting to different departments' servers, upgrading bandwidth, and expanding channels, and had lost five pounds in the process!

But it was worth it.

Knowing that Ideal Paradise would continue to release a second game in the mobile game department, the higher-ups paid great attention and directly allocated all mobile gaming resources to him.

Having been employed for so many years, Zheng Shou found for the first time that his authority could be so great.

Even his superior had to lower his head when speaking to him.

Because Chairman Chen Qiao had personally issued a statement, "If the game launch is messed up this time, you all can pack up and leave!"

The group chairman personally inquiring about a department's game launch within a subsidiary company was unheard of.

But the reality was exactly that—he had inquired about it.

However, Zheng Shou knew a bit of the reason.

He knew a few friends from the investment department, and after the bribery incident was exposed last time, he asked his friends about the ins and outs of the matter.

That was how he learned that Gu Yu had an exceptionally close relationship with the chairman's father, former chairman Chen Tian!

It was not surprising then; with Chen Tian speaking out, even if Chen Qiao was in actual control of Shengda, he still had to listen.

After all, if a father speaks, how can the son not listen?

Knowing the relationships involved, Zheng Shou worked even more diligently.

With the chairman supporting from behind, now, in the entire Shengda Game apart from other game directors, there was no one he couldn't confront.

This morning, he had reprimanded a new and arrogant supervisor.

That person, who clearly knew nothing, had still rushed in and started giving random orders, nearly crashing the server cluster he had built overnight. Continue reading on empire

Immediately, anger surged in his heart, and he had lashed out at the supervisor, scolding him harshly.

The supervisor, infuriated, had sent a letter upward to get him fired.

But the only response from above was, "If Zheng Shou goes, you go too."

"Hahahaha..."

Recalling this morning's events, Zheng Shou couldn't help but laugh out loud again.

It had been so many years since he'd felt this exhilarated!

In the past, when his expertise and capability were questioned by a supervisor, all he could do was silently lower his head and bear the scolding.

But now things were different. Anyone who dared to question Zheng Shou's capabilities would get a direct confrontation from him.

Now, he could be said to be in his prime within the company.

And all of this was given to him by Gu Yu, although his own achievements were also involved.

But the key was still Gu Yu.

He was so grateful that he had decided to push all resource channels to support the emulator when it was launched.

If it weren't for that decision back then, there would be no Zheng Shou today.

Ideal Paradise wouldn't have chosen to continue working with him for their second game either.

Last time, he had already been nominated as Shengda Game's best manager of 2020. If another wave of performance came this time, he didn't even know what achievements he could grasp.

Perhaps he could be promoted directly to general manager!

Zheng Shou chuckled, wiping a bit of drool from his mouth.

Now when he went home, he could even puff out his chest and speak confidently to his wife.

"I'm Zheng Shou, and now, working at Shengda Game, my word is law!"

He still remembered coming home last night, saying these words to his wife. She had looked at him with admiration.

Elated for a while, Zheng Shou threw himself into his work.

However, there was one person who just stood aside, not knowing what to do.

That was Lin Xinyue's cousin, Lin Dong.

He had thought that being promoted to deputy manager would mean a smooth and soaring career.

But after a few days of work, he realized he was wrong.

He might cope with making data reports and operational charts, but managing staff was beyond him!

Whenever he spoke, his colleagues who had been his equals paid him no heed.

Even the new interns wouldn't talk to him.

For anything and everything, they would go directly to the team leader, and if the team leader couldn't handle it, they would seek Manager Zheng.

As for him, the deputy manager, he was absolutely superfluous.

Sometimes, seeing him idle, Zheng Shou would assign him some tasks, sending him to other departments to help allocate resources.

But he didn't understand it at all!

At least in the Mobile Game Operation Department, he knew what was and wasn't possible to change.

But when sent to other departments to allocate resources, he had no clue what he could or couldn't touch.

Sometimes when he made mistakes, the managers of those departments weren't kind to him; they outright scolded him heavily.

His position as deputy manager was more miserable than an intern's!

In just a few days, he got scolded more than he had in his entire life!

Lin Dong, watching his colleagues intently working on their data at their computers, felt helpless for the first time.

Growing up, he had always had everything he wanted; no matter what he did, his parents doted on him.

But this time, no matter what he did, he faced disdain and ostracization from others.

Lin Dong felt like he had become the most expendable person in the Operations Department.

But he was supposed to be the deputy manager!

Confused, he stared at the large screen hanging in the corner of the hall, not knowing what to do, even contemplating resignation.

But he couldn't give up the halo of being the deputy manager of Shengda Game.

After directing an employee on the data recommendation, Zheng Shou noticed Lin Dong standing there, blankly staring into space.

A smirk appeared on his face.

The fool, when he was first promoted to deputy manager, thought he was going to become a superior figure in the department.

In reality, it was just a clever ploy by Zheng Shou.

By now, Lin Dong must have been thinking about resigning, right?

When he resigned on his own, the company would lose nothing, not even the severance pay.

How dare he spread rumors about Zheng Shou and tarnish his reputation? Just pushing him to resign, Zheng Shou felt he was being quite benevolent.

After zoning out for a while and noticing Manager Zheng looking at him, Lin Dong rushed over like he had found a lifeline.

"Manager!"

He called out, slightly embarrassed.

Zheng Shou pretended not to understand, "Hmm?"

"Maybe you should just move me back to my original position? I don't think I can handle being a deputy manager!"

Lin Dong gritted his teeth and said.

Zheng Shou just smiled and shook his head, patting his shoulder earnestly, "Lin Dong, keep at it. I see great potential in you!"

Then his face turned serious, "I have boasted about your outstanding abilities in front of everyone, if you quit now, wouldn't that be slapping my face?"

Lin Dong's expression stiffened, "Alright... okay..."

"I'll try harder!"

Watching Lin Dong walk away, Zheng Shou's face revealed a mocking smile.

"Little guy, trying to compete with me! I'll ruin you!"
