Chapter 1451 Resignation on Weibo!

Back at his desk, Yu Fei sighed silently.

Oh!

This was difficult.

Even though President Pei had repeatedly tried to keep him, and his colleagues and readers were very supportive, he had long lost his enthusiasm for being the lead designer. The poor sales of "Ghost General 2" had only reinforced this feeling.

But President Pei still wouldn't let him go!

What to do?

He couldn't just keep dragging this on, could he?

Yu Fei strongly suspected that President Pei was stalling. But why was President Pei stalling? Why did he think so highly of him? Yu Fei couldn't figure it out.

If he couldn't figure it out, he shouldn't think about it anymore.

Yu Fei sat at his desk and pondered for a long time, finally making his final decision.

He absolutely couldn't continue like this; he had to resign!

However, going through the normal channels was probably impossible. President Pei's attitude was already very clear: he wanted to keep him.

In this situation, the entire Tenda, including the game department and the human resources department, were all President Pei's people. If President Pei didn't want to let him go, could he leave smoothly?

Obviously, it was unlikely.

So, what should he do?

Don't mention it, Yu Fei actually came up with a good idea.

He was going to write a letter of resignation, but this letter wasn't for President Pei to see, but for the netizens!

If he wrote it for President Pei, President Pei might just throw it in the trash, which would be meaningless. But if he showed it to the netizens, made a big deal out of it, and publicly expressed his intention to quit, then with the netizens' attention, President Pei definitely wouldn't want to force him to stay.

There was no other way. Sometimes, when the regular channels didn't work, you had to take some less conventional routes.

Yu Fei thought this path seemed feasible, so he immediately decided to start writing!

As an online novelist, the one thing he didn't lack was the ability to execute when it came to writing.

Of course, excluding lazy authors like Cui Geng.

"Dear readers and gamers:"

"Hello, everyone, I'm Yu Fei, the author of the novel *Eternal Reincarnation*, and also the designer of the latter half of the *Eternal Reincarnation* DLC, as well as the designer of *Ghost General 2*."

"Of course, I say designer, but in reality, I'm just a novice. Most of the credit for this game should go to my colleagues in the Tenda game department. I didn't play a decisive role in it."

"I believe that the poor sales of *Ghost General 2* are my fault, and I deeply feel that my ability is not enough to hold the key position of lead designer in the Tenda game department, nor is it enough to complete the heavy responsibilities of Tenda games' subsequent development."

"I am also a senior Tenda game player, and *Turn Back to the Shore* is my favorite game. But precisely because of this, I don't think I can hinder the entire Tenda game department because of my selfishness."

"The Tenda game department shoulders the arduous mission of revitalizing the domestic game industry and developing more high-quality games for domestic players. For me, I only have this vision, but not the ability to match it. My primary goal is to be an ordinary online novelist, writing my books steadily, but now, there is a serious conflict between the two jobs, which has also caused me some trouble."

"Therefore, I have submitted my resignation to President Pei many times, expressing my willingness to resign. Although President Pei has tried to keep me for various reasons, I am determined to leave."

"I hope everyone can continue to support Tenda games, and also support my new book, thank you!"

After writing it, Yu Fei read it from beginning to end, revised some of the wording, and finally nodded, satisfied.

Although it wasn't written very formally, the meaning he wanted to express was clear.

If he posted this on Weibo and had his readers forward it, it should cause some waves, right?

As long as this matter became widely known, then President Pei would definitely be too embarrassed to force him to stay.

Thinking of this, Yu Fei immediately posted it.

He had thought about whether he should wait until after the New Year to post it, but then he thought that it was better to avoid trouble.

If he posted it after the Spring Festival, what if he didn't have enough time to generate enough attention? What if President Pei had a new development task on the first workday after the Spring Festival?

Then things would become very troublesome.

Therefore, the sooner the better!

After posting the message, Yu Fei waited patiently for a while before checking the netizens' comments.

The first few comments were relatively normal.

"Support your decision!"

"An online novelist actually became the lead designer and made a game, that's something to brag about for a lifetime! Wanting to go back to continue writing online novels is also a personal choice, we all support you."

"I also think that the lead designer is a position with high professional requirements. Having an author who's only halfway into the field as the lead designer is a bit forced. I hope the next lead designer can continue to bring us excellent works!"

"Oh, does that mean the new book can be updated crazily? 20,000 words a day isn't too much, right?"

But after a few more minutes, Yu Fei refreshed the page and suddenly found that the style of the comments seemed to have changed.

"Ah? Don't go!"

"That's not right. You said earlier that 'most of the credit goes to my colleagues in the Tenda game department,' and then you said that 'the failure of *Ghost General 2* is difficult to excuse.' Isn't that a contradiction? If you don't think you deserve the credit, then you don't need to take the blame. If you want to take the blame, then that means you admit that you played an important role."

"What do you mean by the failure of *Ghost General 2*? What's wrong with this game? What fighting game can compare to it right now? Anyway, as a fighting game player, I really like this game!"

"What serious conflict is there? You can still find time to write novels while developing the game, it's just a little slower, but it doesn't matter, we can all wait."

"That's right, don't think too much about it. Since President Pei wants to keep you, that means you're competent, maybe even the best candidate right now. If you insist on leaving, what if the next lead designer isn't as good as you?"

"I think you're just too humble, too unconfident. Even Teacher Qiao praised you by name, so why do you have to belittle yourself?"

"Yes, sometimes excessive humility is equal to pride. If you're too pretentious, everyone will think you're showing off!"

Seeing the new popular comments, Yu Fei was a little confused and completely clueless.

What was going on?

These people were actually trying to keep him? And they were even more enthusiastic than President Pei?

Especially the last comment, "Teacher Qiao praised you by name"??

What the hell was that?

Yu Fei felt that something was wrong, so he hurried to his fan group to ask.

Soon, someone sent him a link to Teacher Qiao's video.

Yu Fei clicked on it and found that it was a video that had just been released this morning, but its popularity was growing very quickly!

It was estimated that it wouldn't be long before it reached the front page!

Of course, given Teacher Qiao's status in the game community and the consistent quality of his videos, this result wasn't surprising.

But the key was the title of the video: "Looking at the Great Vision of President Pei's Game Empire from *Ghost General 2*!"

Good heavens, Yu Fei exclaimed.

Even vision was being mentioned?

Was it necessary? As a fighting game, wasn't *Ghost General 2* just a drop in the ocean, a tear of the times that could only satisfy a niche group of players, although it was of good quality?

To be talking about vision was ridiculous!

A fighting game that was about to become obsolete, what vision was there to talk about?

Just the act of "spending a lot of money to develop a fighting game" could be described in four words: small vision!

It was no wonder that some people ran to Yu Fei's Weibo to keep him.

Obviously, Teacher Qiao's praise of *Ghost General 2* had made many people mistakenly believe that Yu Fei was a truly capable lead designer, so they ran over to try to keep him.

This was very unacceptable for Yu Fei.

Not only was it intellectually unacceptable, but it was even more emotionally unacceptable.

"No, I have to see how this is related to vision."

Yu Fei clicked on the video, unconvinced.

…

"Hello, everyone, my dear viewers, Teacher Qiao is finally back!"

"Two months of suffering has taught me a lot..."

The first part was just Qiao Liang simply sharing his experiences on his journey of suffering with the audience, especially emphasizing his greatly changed figure, and the abdominal muscles that could only be vaguely seen under the light and shadows.

Qiao Liang also praised the journey of suffering, and showed off his medal.

Obviously, this belonged to the "Journey of Suffering Syndrome": those infected would cry and scream as if their lives were in danger when participating in the journey of suffering; but after leaving the journey of suffering, they became lively and energetic, and even praised the journey of suffering.

This "Journey of Suffering Syndrome" had frequently appeared in the first and second batches of members, and Teacher Qiao had not escaped.

However, there was no very scientific explanation for the cause and pathogenesis of this syndrome.

After more than five minutes of "disease display," Qiao Liang began to enter the main topic of this video, which was to officially comment on the game *Ghost General 2*.

"Okay, let's get back to the main topic and talk about Tenda's recently released new game, *Ghost General 2*."

"During my journey of suffering, many fans expressed regret, and even gloated. Because I missed the two hit games *Real Estate Agent Simulator* and *Safe and Civilized Driving*, and even the popularity of the hit drama *Successor*!"

"Everyone thinks this is a huge loss for me."

"To this, I want to say, small, small vision! How can a mature content creator be so narrow-minded? How can he have such narrow ideas?"

"As a content creator, jealousy and envy are absolutely undesirable. I think that if others can better explain Tenda games and provide viewers with other perspectives, that's of course a good thing! I never thought about monopolizing the right to explain Tenda games!"

"*Real Estate Agent Simulator* and *Safe and Civilized Driving* are both highly related to reality, and they're not difficult to interpret. For this simple homework, there's no need for a genius like me to do it."

"But *Ghost General 2* is different. I found that many people haven't fully realized the important significance of this game, and the grand vision behind it!"

"Since no one else has solved this problem, I have to do it myself!"
