Chapter 988 "No Kingdom Lasts Forever"

Pei Qian couldn't help but smile, a slight curve forming at the corners of his mouth.

Yes, the plan was a resounding success!

He knew very well that Lin Wan was a very ambitious person, her greatest desire being to truly prove herself. But at the same time, Lin Wan always liked to deflect credit.

These two characteristics combined meant that Lin Wan was determined to stay at Tengda, no matter what, because she genuinely felt that she could learn more here.

Therefore, Pei Qian seized on this personality trait of Lin Wan's and adopted a different approach.

Lin Wan asked, puzzled, "But President Pei, what exactly should I do? How do I step out of my comfort zone?"

Pei Qian paused for a moment before saying, "It's simple. Leave Shang Yang Games. I have a job here that is more suitable for you and will better enhance your abilities."

"Leaving Shang Yang Games will allow you to leave your comfort zone and face greater challenges. On the other hand, it will also allow Ye Zhizhou and Wang Xiaobin to officially take over your position and further improve themselves."

"The positions of the two of them haven't changed for a long time, which is also detrimental to their career development."

"We plan to start a strategic cooperation with Shenhua Group to establish a new game department, and you will be the head of this department. You will lead all the development tasks of this department."

"Moreover, your work is not limited to this. You will also be responsible for the personnel selection, daily management, and development direction of this department."

"Only by personally building a strong team can you truly gain management and control over it, and avoid a situation where you falter as soon as you switch teams."

"And only by leaving the comfort zone of Shang Yang Games can you face real challenges and further improve your abilities!"

Lin Wan fell silent.

Clearly, when she heard about the "Shenhua Game Department," she still felt a sense of repulsion.

But what President Pei said made so much sense!

On the one hand, internal employee transfers and promotions are frequent at Tengda. Lin Wan has been in the position of head of the Shang Yang Games department for a bit too long. This wouldn't be a big deal in other companies, but at Tengda, it does somewhat limit the further development and advancement of Wang Xiaobin and Ye Zhizhou, which made Lin Wan feel slightly guilty.

On the other hand, according to President Pei, Lin Wan should indeed step out of her comfort zone and accept new challenges in a different environment.

If it were to get venture capital from the Dream Fund to start her own business, Lin Wan might agree without hesitation.

But to be in charge of the Shenhua Game Department... something just didn't feel right.

Pei Qian saw her concerns and continued, "There's no need to be wary of Shenhua Group."

"Don't worry, this company is called the Shenhua Game Department, but it is actually funded jointly by Shenhua Group and Tengda. You will own 40% of the shares, while Shenhua Group and Tengda will each own 30%."

"Shenhua Group won't care about this little bit of money, and you don't have to worry about being controlled or anything like that. You have absolute say."

"You can treat this as a kind of training. Tengda will still retain your employee number, and you can come back at any time if you are not satisfied with the situation there."

The last few sentences were pure deception. Even if she retained her employee number and came back, so what?

By then, Shang Yang Games would be taken over by Wang Xiaobin or Ye Zhizhou. Would Lin Wan have the nerve to parachute in and interfere with their projects? Lin Wan definitely wouldn't do something like that.

Moreover, with Lin Wan's character of becoming stronger with every setback, she would most likely persevere regardless of whether the project there succeeded or failed.

Sure enough, Pei Qian's final words dispelled some of Lin Wan's worries.

She considered it for a long time before finally making up her mind: "Okay, then I can give it a try. I hope I can really break through my bottleneck!"

Pei Qian nodded with a smile: "No problem, I believe in you!"

Yes, a great success in deception!

Pei Qian couldn't help but feel a little smug.

The net worth of the entire Lin family is immeasurable, but they couldn't do anything about Lin Wan. But as soon as I took action, wasn't Lin Wan arranged for perfectly?

I really am a genius!

Pei Qian stood up: "Then you can arrange for the handover of your work during this period. I will notify you of any new news at any time."



After arranging things with Lin Wan, Pei Qian began to ponder the sales team on the way back.

However, he had no idea how to operate it specifically, and it had to be considered in the long term.

Not to mention anything else, finding a person who could accurately understand Pei Qian's intentions and lead the entire sales team well was not an easy task.

"Ding."

Suddenly, the phone made a notification sound, and a notification banner popped up on the phone screen from top to bottom: The up master you are particularly concerned about has updated, please don't miss it!

Pei Qian's face changed instantly.

Because he saw the title of the video.

*Feng Shen Zhi Zuo* Episode 5: "Mission and Choice," Royal Power Is Not Eternal! (Feng Shen Zhi Zuo means Creation of the Gods)

Qiao Laoshi was indeed late, but he still arrived!

Pei Qian flipped through Qiao Liang's previous submission records and found that the *Feng Shen Zhi Zuo* series had already released five episodes. The first to the third episodes were all Tengda's games, while the fourth episode was a foreign AAA game, and the fifth episode returned to Tengda games again!

Pei Qian didn't know whether to be angry or gratified.

Pei Qian felt that Qiao Liang was always targeting himself, and he was about to be bled dry. *Feng Shen Zhi Zuo* released three consecutive episodes, that was still acceptable? Who had ever seen someone become a god three times?

As a result, Qiao Liang symbolically plucked a different sheep this time before turning back to Tengda. Pei Qian's mood was very complicated...

However, Pei Qian was more calm about this video.

If it were before, Pei Qian would be more panicked when he saw Qiao Liang post a video of *Feng Shen Zhi Zuo*.

Because the online public opinion of the previous games was not very good before Qiao Liang released the video. Sales aside, there were at least many doubts.

And Qiao Liang's *Feng Shen Zhi Zuo* video instantly reversed the game's reputation, adding fuel to the fire and skyrocketing the game's reputation and sales!

Therefore, Pei Qian suffered a lot.

But for "Mission and Choice," Pei Qian was much calmer.

Because unlike the previous few times, this time "Mission and Choice" did not have so much controversy online!

Perhaps because "Fantasy Battle Remake" set it off so well, this time the online comments on "Mission and Choice" can be said to be full of praise, and the reputation is very good.

Everyone has already praised it like this. Even if Qiao Liang's video continues to praise it, it will just repeat what everyone has said. Can the situation get any worse?

Moreover, seeing this title, Pei Qian began to doubt the content of the video.

The subtitle was actually "Royal Power Is Not Eternal"?

Could it be that Qiao Laoshi was very disappointed with this game and thought that Tengda's success did not continue and Tengda's rule was over?

Otherwise, why use the title "'Mission and Choice,' Royal Power Is Not Eternal"?

With this in mind, Pei Qian clicked the play button on the video.



"Hello everyone, dear viewers, I am still your very familiar game area up master, 'Game Godfather' Qiao Laoshi."

"Since the last episode of the 'Garbage Game Tucao' program was broadcast, I have received a lot of unwarranted attacks and accusations. Many people sent me private messages saying, hey Qiao Laoshi, you are now making water videos so frantically, garbage games from ten years ago have been played to death, and you can still take them out to make a video, which is really disappointing to me!"

"To these people, I want to say, you have wronged me!"

"Who said I was making a water video? This is clearly to pave the way for the latest episode of *Feng Shen Zhi Zuo*!"

"Now, I believe that all the viewers have understood my good intentions."

"Then, please follow me, viewers, to compare the past and present of the two games, and see the changes in the fate of domestic games!"

"Time goes back to 1997."

"In that era, various excellent electronic games emerged endlessly. There was *Command and Conquer* in the front, and *StarCraft* and *Fantasy Battle* in the back."

"RTS games, like FPS games, became the two most popular types of electronic games in that era when computer performance was backward."

"And a game called 'Mission and Choice' also appeared in China. The overwhelming publicity made players who enthusiastically supported domestic games believe that it would be our own *Command and Conquer*, *StarCraft*, and *Fantasy Battle*."

"Everyone knows the later result."

"As a result, the domestic and foreign game markets took two completely different paths. In foreign countries, various excellent AAA games emerged endlessly, while domestic games have been in a slump ever since."

"Time returns to the present."

"After the highly anticipated 'Fantasy Battle Remake' was released, it received overwhelmingly negative reviews. 'Fantasy Battle', which was once regarded as a classic game in history, failed to maintain its reputation. The remake's score has plummeted all the way to 0.7 points. The reverse plunge is the first, and the sum is exactly 10 points, which is sighing."

"And what everyone didn't expect was that 'Mission and Choice', the shame of domestic games, was also remade."

"This time, 'Mission and Choice' is no longer a complete electronic garbage, but an excellent work that can truly be compared with all classic games in the world. Once it is released, it is full of praise!"

"Comparing these two games, we find that there are magical connections in many aspects. They cannot represent foreign games and domestic games, but they can take us to witness the changes in domestic games over the years."

"There is a very famous line in 'Fantasy World': no king rules forever, *wang quan* has no *yong heng* (royal power has no eternity)."

"Sadly, this sentence seems to be a prophecy. That respectable game company that once produced *StarCraft* and *Fantasy Battle* will eventually fall from the altar and personally smash its own 'must be a boutique' sign."

"And we are willing to believe that in the near future, through 'Mission and Choice', Tengda Games will also lead domestic games to the altar and replace it!"
