Chapter 7 Section VI

Witnessing the grandeur of the Shihe headquarters building, I subconsciously let out a sigh.Although I have visited several times before because of the meeting, the mental preparation is different today.Came here today for work.For a few months starting today, I will be coming to work here every day. A man in a checkered shirt creaked and pushed a trolley.From the back door came the warning sound of a backing truck.The guards standing by the entrance looked heavily guarded.Everyone is working, I can't help but sigh.The windows of the building next door reflected the dazzling sunlight. I straightened my collar again and entered the hall.After announcing my intention at the reception, the female receptionist in uniform dialed the intercom and asked me to wait here after a brief exchange.

I sat on the sofa looking at the green ornamental plants, while still peering into my inner world, trying to suppress my excitement. "Excuse me, are you... Teacher Tatsumi?" Not long after, I was greeted by a young woman with a petite figure, short hair and a charming face. Yes, I stood up as I answered.The woman showed a reassuring expression, and her smile was so cute. "I'm Natsuko Nishino from the Multimedia Planning Office. Please take care of me." She bowed her head and saluted. Under the white sweater, she was wearing culottes, socks and heelless shoes. She was dressed in a very light way.

"I'll lead the way." Enter the elevator to the eighth floor and walk through a somewhat dark corridor.There are posters of movies and dramas on the left and right walls, which is indeed quite suitable for the occasion.The door at the end was open, and a black-and-white sign read "Multimedia Planning Room."After walking inside, I found that this is a working area, with tables, chairs, books and cabinets, and several men in shirts are busy working.On the three cabinets used to divide the work area, there are cards that say "Video Planning Department".I suddenly thought of the appearance of the bowling alley. The aisles and lanes are distinguished by the bowling racks. For some reason, I think it looks a bit like this place.

The phone calls rang frequently. "This way." Guided by Nishino Natsuko, I continued down the aisle between the cabinets.Xia Zi finally walked into a certain work area, there were indeed several men inside, and all of them suddenly looked at me. "Oh, here it is. So everyone is here." Tendo looked at me and said.He was the same as the last time we met, wearing a black suit, and he was a head taller than the other men. I was relieved to finally see a familiar face, and then observed the surrounding situation again.The appearance of this work area is obviously different from other departments I have seen before.

It was a brand new desk, and the documents were placed horizontally as if they had just been moved here.The computer still seemed to be wired, magazines were stacked on the trolley, the cupboard door was ajar, and empty corrugated boxes that had been taken out of Styrofoam piled up in the corner. I looked at it absent-mindedly. "Ah, hello, Teacher Tatsumi, come here, let me introduce you." The oldest-looking man of the men beckons me into the work area.Careful not to step on the pile of papers on the floor, I walked in. "Ah, I'm sorry. As you can see, everyone was transferred here today. In fact, this 'Software Planning Department' is a brand new department that starts operating today. I'm the head here, Tezuka."

Although he is the oldest, he is probably around forty years old.From the wrinkles he squeezes out when he laughs, you can see that he is kind after accidents. He is the so-called "good guy", but his taste in suits is not good. "Introduce yourself in order, starting with Hirata." Hearing the minister's order, a man straightened his appearance, and his age was hard to tell from his face. "I am Hirata. I have been working in the 'Research Department' until yesterday to establish the 'Software Planning Department'. If there is no teacher's work, this department probably would not have been established. Please give me your advice in the future."

For some reason, his face became more and more strange, so that I had to suppress a smile. "Well, I'm Santiao." A young man reported his family name. Unlike Hirata, he was handsome, but the way he tilted his head made people feel a bit contrived. "Like Hirata, I was transferred from the 'Research Department' to participate in the establishment of this department. Before that, I belonged to other game companies and worked on the front line of game development there. Let's create good works together." "That, and Nishino who led the way for you."

Because she had already greeted her, she just bowed her head. "She was in the monthly magazine department and until last week was the editor of the game magazine." "Ah, yes. I am still a junior who has just joined the company for the second year. Please give me your advice." "And then Tendo—" Tendo was a little impatient, and spoke before Minister Tezuka finished speaking. "I said it before when I met with Tatsumi. Although I may be a little sorry for Hirata, Sanjo, and the professionals here, let me be the person in charge of this planning. "There is one more thing that must be explained to everyone from the beginning. If you use a movie as a metaphor, I hope everyone will regard me as an authoritarian director like Hitchcock and Kurosawa. When I proposed this plan, I already had a The general appearance of this game when it is completed. Therefore, this plan is to summarize the game that only exists in my mind into a form similar to the instruction manual ordered from the outside. In a sense, it will be a piece of cake for everyone. Boring work.

"However, when co-producing a certain product, I think that one person acts as an absolute monarch-like dictator in a sense, which is the most suitable development state to ensure the quality of the final product. "So, even an outsider like me, once appointed as the person in charge, he must do what he should do and achieve his realistic goals. I can guarantee this. So everyone, no matter whether the other party is an outsider or The people in the department, whether they are professionals or non-professionals, must obey me anyway. Otherwise, this project will not be able to proceed smoothly. I hope to work in such an environment.”

Sanjo was the first to show dissatisfaction with his sudden eloquence, but Tendo didn't care. "In addition, I have my words first, and my way of speaking has generally been like this. I am very sorry, but I don't speak polite words such as honorifics. So if you hear what I said, please convert it into polite words yourself." Sanjo (probably Hirata too) has written on his face that I don't agree with you as the person in charge, and he always feels a sense of tension that is about to explode. "Then let's get to work right away. . . . But first, we need to clean up."

Minister Tezuka's words relieved the tension in the scene.Everyone followed this instruction and tidied up their desks. "Ah, this is Tatsumi's desk." Tendo designated a table, but unlike the others, I had nothing to do, so I just sat on a chair bored. Hirata and Sanjo were already acquainted, and occasionally whispered together, but the other members met for the first time today, and the atmosphere during cleaning seemed a little deserted. My consciousness was a little fuzzy, and I suddenly realized that someone was looking at me. I looked back to the aisle, and there was a man standing there. About 180 centimeters tall and about 30 years old.With a strong physique, he is handsome in an Armani suit, and his hair is also very delicately dressed with hairspray. The overall exudes a calm and calm atmosphere, but at the same time it also makes people feel a certain wild atmosphere. Why is this?Perhaps it was because of the stern look on his well-proportioned face. I seem to have seen this face somewhere, who is it? "Ah, Chief!" Hirata seemed to spot this man along my line of sight, and called out softly, and the other members hurriedly stood up.Minister Tezuka also trotted over from his desk by the window and said. "Ah, hello Chief. Are you here today?" "Ah. Because today is the anniversary of the establishment of the 'Software Planning Department' that I have been looking forward to for a long time. Only today I want to leave everything behind and come here to have a look." As he spoke, he stood beside Tiantong and put his hand on Tiantong's shoulder. "Yo, Tendo, please this time." "I should say 'this time too, please'...Tuhe." Tendo replied in an equal tone, and the other members showed surprised expressions. "please." He patted Tendo on the shoulder twice, then looked at me again. "Well, you are Tatsumi, right?" "Ah... yes." I replied flinching. "It's Tatsumi... Marumi. Thank you for creating "Mechanical Forest" for us. Thanks to you, Shihe can make a lot of money this time. Thank you very much." I wonder who this person is.Speaking of the head of the office, he must be the leader of the "Multimedia Planning Office" department.He looks very young, but he is the boss of Minister Tezuka in terms of position. Speaking of which, just now Tiantong called this person "Shihe".He took up this important position at Shihe Publishing House at a young age, and his surname is Shihe... Tendo seemed to have read my mind and added. "Exactly, Tatsumi. This is Shuichi Toka, the prodigal son of the president of our company, Toka." "The word prodigal is redundant." "Recently, he has often served as a judge for actor selection activities and appeared on TV. You should also remember this face, right?" Hearing Tiantong's words, Room Chief Shihe showed a somewhat troubled expression, and scratched his neck creakingly. "That's the way it is. Although it is not a decent job in the eyes of novelists, since some people think it is necessary, it is probably necessary. Thank you for your cooperation, maybe you can make a great work." "Ah, yes." I was stupefied with fright, and replied ambiguously. "Goodbye everyone, please, Hirata, and... well——" "Three, and Nishino transferred from the monthly magazine." Minister Tezuka reminded in a low voice. "Yes, it's Sanjo, and Nishino. Please work hard for the new department from today... goodbye." The head of Shihe was the same as when he came, leaving these words and then left suddenly. "...Tiantong, do you know the room chief?" Hirata, who watched Shuichi off the catwalk, felt this way and confirmed it to Tendo. "Ah. I've had a few encounters before. This kind of talk might annoy Hirata or Tezuka. To me, no matter if that guy's position is room chief or something, that guy is that guy. So, Toka is Toka, So I omitted the title." "Isn't it bad to do that?" Hirata said as if he was a little confused. "What the hell happened before?" Natsuko Nishino asked with great interest. "No, just a little..." Tiantong suddenly spoke vaguely, and then stared into the distance.
