Chapter 168 167
"You call a company that makes eight million also a small company?"
"Don\'t you have to introduce a few of us to it?"
Hu Shuo and a few other principled classmates surrounded Kang Jia, pressing for answers. Stay updated via empire
It was mainly the lavishness of Ideal Paradise that had taken them by surprise.
Since everyone had been in the office earlier, they didn\'t speak up, but now that they were outside, they naturally wanted to get the details from Kang Jia.
"I don\'t even know myself! I didn\'t realize Ideal Paradise was so awesome. When I joined, the company really only had five people!"
Kang Jia himself was actually bewildered.
He truly thought Ideal Paradise was a small company and, in terms of numbers alone, it really was a small company.
No, perhaps not even a company, but rather a small studio.
But these revenue figures – aren\'t they terrifying?
Wasn\'t Ideal Paradise established just 20 days ago? They made eight million in 20 days?
Did this money just blow in with the wind?
The Life Restart Simulator game is that profitable?
Some of them had played Life Restart Simulator, and even in recent nights, it had become part of their fun.
But they really hadn\'t imagined that this simple, clean game with no ads on the interface could generate eight million in revenue!
Of course, they didn\'t know that Shengda Mobile Game Platform had become the game\'s exclusive operator.
Some light ads had already been inserted into the game.
It had been a while since they last played.
That\'s how these games are: the novelty can keep you playing non-stop for the first few days, but after playing too much and becoming familiar with the content and style, you instantly lose the interest to continue.
In today\'s fast-paced society, these quick-pace games fall out of popularity just as rapidly.
But they sure make money fast!
Eight million!
Many will never earn that much money in their lifetime.
Divide that among Gu Yu and his companions, and it works out to two million each.
They, like Gu Yu\'s group, are college students – the disparity...
Thinking about how some people are still squabbling over a base salary of two thousand, compromising their pride, Kang Jia and Hu Shuo felt a burning embarrassment on their faces for them.
"Kang, now Ideal Paradise has only six people, including you. You\'re an old-timer there now, aren\'t you?"
"Exactly, Kang, can\'t you talk to Gu Yu? Get us in too?"
Everyone looked at Kang Jia with envious faces.
Kang Jia really was too lucky, having just left Sword Barrier Network and then stumbling upon such a great company as Ideal Paradise.
They could clearly tell from the atmosphere of Gu Yu and his companions discussing office rental that the internal spirit at Ideal Paradise was excellent.
There was none of that dictatorship that Bi Jian had at Sword Barrier Network.
Every person had a voice, an opportunity to express their inner thoughts!
What\'s more critical is that not only does the company have plenty of funds, but they always consider their employees in everything they do.
Anyone with a clear vision could see that Gu Yu and his team opting to lease the expensive third floor was done for the enjoyment of themselves and their staff!
The third floor – they had been there before, occasionally going to mooch off the gym and gaming room!
It truly was much more comfortable than Sword Barrier Network\'s office space.
Apart from a cubicle like a rat cage and an almost broken water dispenser, there was nothing.
In the summer, the computers could overheat to the point of crash!
You simply couldn\'t compare the two!
Now that Kang Jia has the opportunity to join such a company to work, he\'s truly the envy of everyone!
But they couldn\'t really talk to Gu Yu, so they could only ask Kang Jia for help, hoping he\'d mention them to Gu Yu.
Looking at the hopeful faces of these old classmates and colleagues, Kang Jia appeared quite troubled.
He wanted to help them, but he himself had only joined Ideal Paradise two days ago, officially speaking, just one day.
Although Gu Yu was approachable, after all, he was the newcomer; how could he recommend others without having accomplished anything himself?
He knew the capabilities of these old classmates, especially Hu Shuo\'s work foundation.
Whether it was programming skills or product techniques, they were all skilled hands.
If there really were an opportunity, he genuinely wished these old classmates could join Ideal Paradise, just like him.
But now it simply wasn\'t possible.
He had neither the seniority nor the achievements.
It was impossible for him to have any say.
To really pull people in, he\'d need to show some skills for Gu Yu to see, right?
"Sigh, I\'ve only just joined the company myself, and although Chairman Gu is easy to talk to, I really can\'t help with recommending you guys at the moment,"
"As a newcomer, what right do I have to bring in other new people, right?"
Kang Jia gave a helpless, wry smile.
Hearing this from Kang Jia, everyone\'s expression dimmed slightly, but no one blamed him.
Because they knew that what Kang Jia said was the hard truth.
If Kang Jia really went to Gu Yu to recommend them, and Gu Yu got angry about it, wouldn\'t that ruin his own prospects?
If they were in his shoes, they wouldn\'t do such a thing either—lifting a rock only to drop it on their own feet.
Now they were truly out of options, not only penniless but also unemployed, their lives had once again plummeted to rock bottom.
So they were desperately seeking any solution; they didn\'t really expect Kang Jia to be able to help.
"It\'s okay, we understand you,"
Hu Shuo patted Kang Jia\'s side arm, giving a small smile.
He knew what Kang Jia was like; if Kang Jia said there was no way, it really meant there was no way.
If there were any way, he definitely wouldn\'t hesitate to help his own.
"Hmm, glad you understand," Kang Jia murmured nodding his head, feeling somewhat ashamed he couldn\'t help everyone,
but Hu Shuo didn\'t mind.
Hu Shuo raised his hand and asked the other three classmates with a smile, "You guys free this afternoon? How about we go look for a part-time job together? I know a restaurant south of the school that needs two waiters to carry plates."
"Cai Gou Station is also short of hands to sort parcels these days!"
The three being asked exchanged smiles and nodded in unison,
"Sure! Got a job right after leaving Sword Barrier Network? Hu really has the insider scoop!"
With the three\'s agreement, Hu Shuo patted Kang Jia\'s shoulder, "Old Kang, we\'re going to start working now,"
"You\'ve got to do well, okay! Try to get us into Ideal Paradise too!"
After saying that, Hu Shuo led the three away.
Kang Jia watched their retreating figures, reaching into the side pocket of his laptop bag, his fingers wrapped around a stack of A4 paper.
That was the game development plan he had written overnight.
"Guys, I\'ll work hard! I\'ll work hard to prove my worth to Gu Yu and the others, then I\'ll recommend you guys!" Kang Jia thought to himself silently.
He turned to look at Gu Yu and others, who were chatting and laughing nearby, then pulled out the game development plan from the laptop bag and walked over.
"Hey, Old Kang, you done talking?" Gu Yu saw Kang Jia approaching, gesturing toward Hu Shuo and the others as they walked away.
Kang Jia nodded, then passed the game development plan in his hand to Gu Yu.
"What\'s this?"
"Summoning God Dragon."
"What!? Dragon?"
