Chapter 25 - Xu Zhi’s New Mission

In the President's office, Xu Zhi was waiting for Hong Wu.

Knock, knock!

The door was not closed. Hong Wu knocked heavily, and the door swing open from the force of the knock.

"President... Xu!"

Seeing Xu Zhi, Hong Wu was a little embarrassed.

"Come and sit," Xu Zhi pointed at the chair opposite him and said.

Walking to the chair, Hong Wu carefully leaned his body down. He only sat halfway on the wide chair, and his upper body was straightened. He stared at Xu Zhi without moving his head and neck, looking very nervous.

"Don't be so nervous, relax a little." Xu Zhi was slightly amused by Hong Wu's actions.

Hong Wu sat like this, making it seem like it was the son-in-law's first time meeting his father-in-law.

"President Xu, I... I... Thank you."

Hong Wu did not know what to say for a moment. Ten minutes ago, he was still the team leader, but in the end, he had become a director. Not only did he manage 50 to 60 people under him, his salary had also increased by half compared to before.

Xu Zhi did not say anything at the moment. He just stared at Hong Wu. Hong Wu's brows were tightly knitted as if he was trying to find words to say, but his head was like a salt-and-alkali land, pale as a flower.

"I thank you for giving me this opportunity."

Although it was selected by the employee vote, Hong Wu understood that Xu Zhi had given him this opportunity. Otherwise, how could such a thing happen? Choosing for the position of director was not as simple as voting for the class monitor in primary school.

"Hong Wu, relax a little." Xu Zhi picked up the glass of water on the table and poured a glass of water for Hong Wu.

"I have high hopes for you. Work hard in the future and don't feel pressured. If you have any problems, report to me immediately."

Holding the glass of water that Xu Zhi poured for him, Hong Wu carefully took a sip. His expression was much more relaxed than before.

"How's the R&D department?"

Xu Zhi asked casually, and Hong Wu suddenly became nervous.

"President Xu, everything is fine in the R&D department. I promise to complete all the tasks you ordered!"

"Haha!" Xu Zhi shook his head and laughed again. He could see that Hong Wu worked very hard. However, he was still young. When he was facing his boss, he was as nervous as when he was facing his teacher in school. In the company, this was not acceptable.

"Hong Wu, I'll give you the first task. When you talk to me, be bold."

"Yes!"

"Okay, there's still the second task!"

Xu Zhi sat on the sofa, stared at Hong Wu, and began to say, "I want you to lead the R&D department to develop a computer instant messaging software."

"TT?" He Wei immediately thought of TT. Could it be that the president wanted to move into instant messaging software? This was not a good direction.

"No, no, no, not like TT. It's UU."

He picked up a document from his desk and handed it to Hong Wu.

"This is a voice communication software. It can set up group chat voice, one-on-many, direct voice chat. It can set up a self-defined small room. In addition to voice, it can even video call."

Xu Zhi was not talking about anything else. It was the YY from his previous life. Now that Bluestar did not have this software, it was a good opportunity for him to fill in the blanks.

For this reason, when he was developing Jumping the Line of Fire, he did not ask the R&D department to add the voice system into the game. It was for the purpose of launching this official voice communication software.

Xu Zhi believed that with such a large number of players in Jumping the Line of Fire, this UU would definitely succeed. Most importantly, it would also create a moat for Jumping the Line of Fire.

Hong Wu flipped through the documents that Xu Zhi gave him. There were some specific details about the UU. After reading a few pages, Hong Wu seemed to understand something.

"President Xu, this is a voice software that allows instant communication in Jumping the Line of Fire. However, our R&D department can directly connect to the voice system in the game."

"There's no need for you to connect. Moreover, this software is not for Jumping the Line of Fire as a game service."

Xu Zhi's thoughts were not something the current Hong Wu could understand.

"Is there any problem with the R&D department developing this software?" Xu Zhi asked again.

Closing the document, Hong Wu said affirmatively, "President Xu, there's no problem. It should be developed in two weeks, or even faster!"

Xu Zhi nodded. "That's good. But if you have any gaps in talent in the future, you can look for personnel and directly recruit them. Our company's scale will soon expand again, so you must have sufficient talent under your management."

"Yes, President Xu."

"By the way, you've become the Director. You can choose the position of team leader of the third group. I'll leave the decision to you."

"Yes, thank you, President Xu." Hong Wu nodded at this time. He remembered every word Xu Zhi said.

After saying all that he needed to say, Xu Zhi asked one last time, "Hey, Hong Wu, do you have any opinions about our company now, or any good suggestions?"

"I... Have a suggestion!"

Hearing this answer, Xu Zhi was a little surprised. He was just being polite.

"Go ahead!" Xu Zhi intended to listen carefully.

"President Xu, your room looks empty. Why don't I find you a secretary to share your daily worries?"

"Ah? Hahahaha..." Xu Zhi was caught off guard for a moment. "Find me a secretary? That... that's not necessary. You're thoughtful."

Xu Zhi did not know whether to laugh or cry. He did not think that Hong Wu was talking about this. It was really a pleasant surprise.

Perhaps this was him trying to return the favor? Since he had asked Hong Wu to be the director, Hong Wu had thought of finding a secretary for him. It was fine if there was something for the secretary to do, but what if he did not have tasks for the secretary...? Brother, this really warmed his heart a little.

However, Xu Zhi did not have such thoughts now.

"Alright, you can go back first. Thank you for your kindness. I don't need it for the time being."

"Alright then, President Xu, I'll go back now."

After Hong Wu said that, he also left in embarrassment. The reason why he said that was mainly because he felt a little guilty after seeing Xu Zhi personally pouring the water for him. This was usually done by the secretary. As for other things, he did not have any other thoughts.

"Ah, it seems like he's a talent, I didn't make the wrong choice."

After Hong Wu left, the more Xu Zhi thought about it, the more he felt that Hong Wu was a capable person. It seemed that his vision was still as good as before, and he was a little proud.

After returning to the R&D department with the documents, Hong Wu first found the other two team leaders to discuss with developing UU. Recently, the R&D department was short of work, and this UU software would probably be produced in no time.

As for Xu Zhi asking him to choose the third team leader, Hong Wu did not hesitate and chose someone from the previous team three who did a good job.

Although Hong Wu was young, he was very capable in his work. Under his leadership, the R&D department was even better than when Wang Kewen was around.

Wang Kewen's departure did not affect Dream Game Company at all. He could not take anything with him. All the information was sealed in the company's server. If Wang Kewen wanted to develop a new game in Four-nine Gaming Company, he had to do it himself.
