“This is your opinion. Alright, you can sit too.”

Huang Meng did not expect it, but Xu Zhi did not argue with her. Instead, he looked at Zheng Quan next to her.

After being ignored by Xu Zhi, Huang Meng shrugged her shoulders and glared fiercely at Xu Zhi before sitting back down. This made Xu Zhi feel a little scared.

“President Xu.”

Seeing Xu Zhi staring at him, Zheng Quan stood up with a notebook.

After standing up, Zheng Quan turned around to look at his colleagues behind him. Then, he smoothed out his clothes, straightened his body, and began to speak.

“President Xu, and my colleagues, in my opinion, there is no problem with this game. The public open beta will be carried out as usual tomorrow. Moreover, I believe that it will be popular after it is launched in the market.”

“F*ck, you really know how to lick his boots,” Wang Kewen whispered at Zheng Quan.

Zheng Quan did not care. He continued, “After my personal analysis, Jumping the Line of Fire that President Xu led us to develop actually appeals more towards social and casual players. Yes, the performance of the closed beta is not ideal. However, in my opinion, there is no problem at all. The majority of the audience for this game will be internet cafe players. In the closed beta, we invited the players who played the previous Real Battlefield 1 and Ghost’s Dream. Most of them have their own computers and are not the final target audience for our game. Therefore, no matter how bad the performance in the closed beta is, it doesn’t mean anything.”

“On the contrary, I think that as long as we promote it in the open beta, especially in the internet cafe, I think our game will definitely be popular. Speaking of this, I realized that the main focus of our promotions was targeted at internet cafes. I have to say that President Xu is really far-sighted. He is an existence that we can never hope to catch up to.”

Xu Zhi automatically ignored the last sentence. After listening to Zheng Quan’s speech, he could not help but sigh in his heart. Zheng Quan was not wrong at all. In his previous life, the power of this game had indeed exploded in internet cafes.

On the other side, when He Wei heard Zheng Quan’s words, he seemed to understand something and hurriedly recorded it down.

“Oh right, speaking of which, I still have something to give to everyone,” Zheng Quan continued.

After saying that, Zheng Quan lowered his head and took out a stack of documents from under his bench. Then, he handed them to everyone one by one.

Looking at the big words on the document — ‘Research on the target audience for Jumping the Line of Fire’. The ministers sitting on the bench all looked at Zheng Quan curiously.

After handing it out quickly, Zheng Quan said solemnly, “This research was completed under the guidance of President Xu a few days ago. Now, I’m giving it to everyone as a reference. What I said just now is not enough. You can find the details in there. If you have nothing to do, you can take a look.”

“That’s enough.”

Wang Kewen looked at the research that Zheng Quan handed to him. He really wanted to throw it into the trash can immediately. However, with so many people watching, he exhaled and suppressed the anger in his heart.

“Alright, that’s the end of my speech. President Xu?” Zheng Quan looked at Xu Zhi.

“Sit down!”

Xu Zhi nodded and asked to Zheng Quan sit down.

The directors had made their stance clear. Originally, Xu Zhi wanted to let some of the closed beta employees behind him speak, but it seemed that there was no need for that at the moment.

At this moment, everyone was staring at Xu Zhi, waiting for him to say something.

At this moment, Xu Zhi’s heart was as firm as ever.

After circling around everyone, Xu Zhi’s gaze was like an eagle. He stretched out his right hand and heavily pressed it on the conference table.

“I announce that tomorrow’s open beta will proceed as planned! All departments must not have any problems! Meeting adjourned!!”

After speaking briefly, Xu Zhi pushed open the conference room door and left. After he left, everyone also left.

When the meeting room was empty, the trash can was filled with a few copies of ‘research’ that had been left behind. Just as the cleaning crew was about to clean up the office, Zheng Quan walked in and picked up a few copies of ‘research’. He then left the meeting room in a hurry.

Xu Zhi’s debut, Jumping the Line of Fire. This was Dream Game Company’s first new game this year. Even if the performance of the closed beta was not good, the employees of Dream Game Company still had high expectations for it.

A miracle might happen.

After all, if the performance of the new game was good, it would boost the company’s performance. As employees, they could also get higher bonuses.

There was still a while before work ended. Seeing the various directors coming out of the meeting room, the employees below quickly surrounded them, trying to gather some information.

“Boss, how was it?”

He Wei had just returned to his desk when a group of people surrounded him.

“Open beta tomorrow as usual.”

After He Wei said that, the people around him all looked surprised.

“Huh? Can this work? Aren’t we going to suspend the game to polish it?”

“Boss, isn’t this open beta going to be suicidal tomorrow?”

“With such results in closed beta, do you still dare to open beta? With such quality, I think the players will curse us to death.”

“Yeah, boss, isn’t… isn’t this open beta going to be postponed? If this comes out, the other game companies will laugh at us.”

He Wei was originally a good-tempered person, but after hearing the words of his employees, his anger also rose.

“Enough!! You haven’t even left work yet. What are you talking about? Go back to work!!”

After shooing away the employees, He Wei took out the things he had recorded in the meeting room. Looking at the insights he had written after listening to Zheng Quan’s words, he could not help but sigh in his heart.

It turned out that President Xu’s thinking was so far-reaching. He really could not understand it. He had originally thought that he had learned a lot in the past month. However, at the meeting today, he realized that he was still far behind President Xu.

Really, he felt that he had a long way to go.

He Wei felt a kind of heartfelt admiration towards Xu Zhi.

After dealing with the last email, Xu Zhi lay down on the sofa in the office.

This meeting had allowed him to see a lot of things clearly.

Putting everything else aside, there was definitely something wrong with Wang Kewen, the head of research and development. His thoughts were still stuck on the quality of the graphics. However, the company had signed a five-year contract with him. If he were to be fired directly, it would cost a lot of money. Moreover, the public beta test would be held tomorrow. It would not be good if he was fired.

Xu Zhi had a headache. What should he do to make things right with this person?

Other than Wang Kewen, Huang Meng’s performance today surprised Xu Zhi. He could not understand why she did this.

Huang Meng had been working in the finance department of a large financial company. Later, she was poached by Qin Zishu to become the company’s finance director.

To be honest, there were no problems at work. Xu Zhi had seen the accounts, and everything was done beautifully. Moreover, she had never had any objections to him before. This time, she had inexplicably targeted him. Could there be some hidden reason? Thinking of Huang Meng’s piercing gaze on him, Xu Zhi decided to observe this matter further.

As for the remaining directors, Xu Zhi felt that there weren’t any problems. He was more satisfied.

Especially for Zheng Quan, Xu Zhi thought that he could cultivate Zheng Quan vigorously.

After all, in this century, there were not many talents like Zheng Quan..
