Chapter 174 Travel

After a light knock, Li Yada entered President Pei's office.

President Pei was the same as always, appearing calm and collected, as if victory was already in his grasp. He was as energetic as if he had just woken up.

"President Pei, I was thinking of going to the US for a few days..."

Li Yada was still pondering how to explain this matter to President Pei to make it sound reasonable, but before she could finish speaking, she saw President Pei's eyes light up and he immediately nodded.

"Great, work-life balance is important!"

"You've been working too hard lately and need to relax!"

"Hurry up and pack; you can leave anytime."

"Are you going by yourself, or with someone else?"

Li Yada quickly said, "President Pei, six of us are going together, including Lin Wan, Bao Xu, Hao Qiong, Ye Zhizhou, and Chen Kangtuo."

"Chen Kangtuo and the others won the five-day trip at the annual meeting, so..."

Listening to Li Yada explain the whole story, Pei Qian was slightly disappointed.

What's going on? It turned out to be the prize from the annual meeting.

He almost thought Li Yada had figured things out and would find a way to slack off and goof off on her own.

What a waste of excitement.

But it's not bad that six people are going together. Lin Wan, Li Yada, and Ye Zhizhou are all the backbone of the project. Their departure will slightly slow down the project's development progress.

Pei Qian immediately nodded: "Of course, no problem!"

"Go back and prepare. Have fun over there. Your salary will be paid as usual for these few days. Don't worry about work. Since you're going out, have a good time, understand?"

Hearing these words, Li Yada felt a warmth in her heart.

President Pei is so easy to talk to!

He almost always approves employee leave requests, and he repeatedly reminds everyone to have a good time since they're playing and not to feel any psychological burden or worry too much about work.

He doesn't even need too many explanations; everything is understood.

Is this the tacit understanding between a boss and his employees?

"Okay, President Pei, I understand!"

Li Yada left, deeply moved.

…

…

Pei Qian looked at the date. Today was already December 21st.

In just over two weeks, the school would be entering exam week.

Although President Pei had donated five million to the school last time, as long as the counselor had informed the lecturers, they would definitely give him some face...

But was President Pei that kind of person?

Of course, he still had to rely on his own abilities to get a passing grade fairly and squarely.

Otherwise, if even a loafer like Ma Yang could outscore him, where would President Pei's face be?

He would despise himself!

Therefore, Pei Qian deeply felt that his work tasks were heavy.

He opened the backend and looked at the results of the Tenda Spirit Compatibility Test.

Yesterday, before the annual meeting, the first batch of new employees had just taken the Tenda Spirit Compatibility Test, and the results were much better than Pei Qian had imagined.

The pass rate was extremely low!

A total of 28 people participated in the test, and only three passed.

Pei Qian focused on looking at the resumes of these three people to deepen his impression.

These were the pillars of strength that Tenda could rely on in the future!

To perfectly match the Tenda Spirit Test on the first try, what a group of treasure employees!

Unexpectedly, all three people who passed the test were from Tenda's game department.

The one with the highest score, named Hu Xianbin, was an ordinary fresh graduate from Handong University who didn't have any special experiences during his university years.

The other two were Min Jingchao and Zhang Nan (female). These two had absolutely no experience in the game industry. Before joining Tenda, the former was an accountant, and the latter was a clothing designer.

In President Pei's opinion, this was simply the most perfect resume!

It seemed that Tenda's entry test had completely achieved its due effect, brushing away the experienced veterans in the industry and selecting a group of people who were particularly suitable for being slackers.

And Tenda Spirit's compatibility test just proved this point. These three looked like good candidates for being slackers!

Of course, it's hard to know a person's heart just by looking at their face. President Pei didn't have mind-reading abilities, so he couldn't completely determine that these three would be the talents he needed.

But no matter what, President Pei had carefully prepared so many test questions, and these three had answered them all correctly. At the very least, it showed that they were a cut above the other employees in terms of spiritual development.

There's a saying that if something walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and tastes like a duck, then it's a duck.

The test was the same. No matter what the employees' true thoughts were, as long as they could pass this test and put this kind of thinking into their work, then they were the slackers that President Pei wanted!

Moreover, Pei Qian was also very clear that the pass rate of this test would definitely increase as time went on.

After all, it was impossible to prevent employees from exchanging experiences in private.

But as long as these new employees could gradually figure out the correct answers and accurately get President Pei's hints, practically refusing to work overtime and actively asking for overtime pay, and this became the norm over time...

Then, for Pei Qian, the goal would be achieved.

…

Shenhua Haojing, 17th floor, Tenda Games Department.

In the conference room.

Li Yada had just assigned work tasks to the design team members.

The visas for going to the US were already being processed. Since all the expenses were reimbursed by the company, everyone applied for expedited visas, which would be completed soon.

Li Yada had already sorted out the suggestions from Dream Chasing Capital and written them into the new version's development plan. Today, she would explain everything to the design team members so that even if she went abroad to collect materials, the development of *Games of Gods* would not be interrupted.

After everything was arranged, the meeting adjourned.

Li Yada specifically kept Hu Xianbin behind.

After everyone had left, Li Yada closed the door and said in a low voice, "Xiao Hu, what exactly are the questions on the Tenda Spirit Test? Tell me quietly."

Hu Xianbin: "…"

This scene looked quite magical.

A department head was actually asking a newly promoted intern in her department for advice.

But in fact, Li Yada really didn't know!

Not only did she not know, but neither did the heads of other departments at Tenda!

The Tenda Spirit Compatibility Test was personally written by President Pei, and the system automatically graded the papers. No one could view the question bank or the standard answers.

However, Hu Xianbin was a little puzzled. Why was Li Yada concerned about this?

Even if she didn't know the questions, what difference did it make? She was the head of the department and didn't need to take the test.

"They're all simple multiple-choice questions… Sister Li, why are you asking about this? Moreover, according to the rules, it seems like we're not allowed to discuss this within the company, right?"

Li Yada sighed softly and lowered her voice slightly: "I don't want to discuss it either, but… the heads of other departments are all asking about it."

After yesterday's annual meeting, several department heads had already asked Li Yada about the Tenda Spirit Compatibility Test.

Li Yada didn't really know what the specific content of these test questions was, but the new employees in her department definitely knew!

The heads of various departments had discovered that out of the twenty-odd people who participated in the first batch of tests, only three had passed, and they were all in the game department.

So, they naturally ran over to ask Li Yada.

As for why these department heads were so concerned…

Wasn't it obvious?

If they couldn't pass the Tenda Spirit Compatibility Test, these new employees would be fired!

They were all painstakingly recruited, and each one was urgently needed talent. How could they just give up like that?

If they were really fired, it would not only mean that all the efforts of the previous recruitment work had been in vain, but it would also mean that their recruitment was ineffective and that the people they recruited did not meet President Pei's requirements.

How could that be allowed!

Therefore, these heads were just as anxious as the new employees who hadn't passed the test. They were all eager to know what exactly this Tenda Spirit Compatibility Test was and how they could quickly transform their thinking to meet President Pei's requirements.

Li Yada had no choice but to secretly and privately ask about it.

Hu Xianbin frowned and tried hard to recall the situation at that time.

"It's too difficult to remember the exact questions from back then; it's impossible to do that."

"Because there are too many questions, and there are also many questions that seem similar, but in fact, seem to have some differences. Maybe it's just a difference of one word in the question, and the standard answer will completely change."

"Moreover, with so many questions, I don't know exactly which question I answered correctly and which question I answered incorrectly."

"If I happen to remember a question that I answered incorrectly, and then everyone deduces based on this incorrectly answered question… wouldn't that be completely wrong? The consequences would be unimaginable."

Li Yada pondered for a moment and nodded helplessly.

That was really the case.

It could only be said that President Pei's thinking was too meticulous, not leaving any loopholes or opportunities to exploit.

Even if they remembered a few questions, the test-takers couldn't be sure whether they had answered correctly or not. It was almost impossible to deduce the standard answer for the entire test from these questions.

"Then, do you have any experiences that you can share?" Li Yada decided to change her approach.

Hu Xianbin was silent for a moment and said, "Think more."

Li Yada: "Huh?"

Hu Xianbin explained, "I can only say that these questions look very simple, but in fact, they all have deeper meanings."

"These questions are just like President Pei's usual words; they always contain very profound principles in very simple words. If you look at these questions very superficially, then you definitely won't be able to understand the intention of the questions well."

"So, my experience is to think more. This is also a very crucial point that I learned in our department."

"And also, to completely obey President Pei's command."

"That's all I can summarize…"

Li Yada nodded.

It sounded like the type of question that President Pei would ask.

The two points of "think more" and "completely obey President Pei's command" also completely matched her work experience.

Could this be the Tenda Spirit?

It shouldn't be all of the Tenda Spirit. After all, the Tenda Spirit originated from President Pei, and President Pei's thoughts were as deep as the starry river.

But… at least it was a part of the Tenda Spirit, right?

Li Yada nodded: "Okay, thank you for your hard work!"

Back at her workstation, Li Yada sent messages to the department heads who had asked her before.

"There may be two relatively universal principles for the Tenda Spirit Compatibility Test."

"First, think more."

"Second, completely obey President Pei's command."

"I'm not sure if these two directions are correct, but they're worth a try."
