Building a Gaming Empire From Scratch

Chapter 190 - 190: 188: Time to Hang People Up

Fred had also suffered quite a bit from Henry’s antics. When Lincoln asked about this person, he had provided quite a few details.

For example, in order to step on Cloud Dream a few times and gain more heat, he did not hesitate to rush the completion of “Blaze 3,” which resulted in a lot of complaints from players.

Definitely not a good guy.

And he wants to come to Cloud Dream?!?

It can’t be that he thinks since Randall, the father of Blaze, was accepted by Cloud Dream, and Fred took the core of the Blaze Production Team to Cloud Dream, they would also want him.

So as a temporary Chief Planner of “Blaze 3,” would Cloud Dream want him?

Cloud Dream is not a garbage dump!

Moreover, even if my head was kicked by a donkey and I really let you into Cloud Dream, wouldn’t you feel awkward when you see Fred?

“What the hell is this person thinking?” Lincoln was completely baffled.

‘Mavis doesn’t know either.” Mavis shook her head, “So, should Mavis reject him

“Wait.” Lincoln stopped Mavis, “Let me see how he wrote his resume.”

Since Henry had already been kicked out by NetDragon, there probably wouldn’t be any chance to face him in the future. Now that he’s taking the initiative to come forward, Lincoln could not help but consider this may be his only chance.

Beating a dog in the water, Lincoln must not miss!

Of course, this is not Lincoln’s narrow-mindedness, but purely to vent his anger for his employees.

He briefly flipped through Henry’s resume and found that this person was indeed a rare talent – if it was five years ago.

No wonder he said he “once” led a team to create a “classic” game.

What kind of game can be considered a “classic”? Of course, a game that once had a good reputation and achievements.

In this world where the game development has only been around for over ten years, that basically means a game from the previous era.

After switching to a management position, he had not led a team to create a successful game – if “Blaze 3” doesn’t count.

So, does the current “Blaze 3” count as a success or a failure?

Of course, Henry is not completely messing around. He did not attempt to apply for an impossible position like Chief Planner but focused more on the executive producer position for project management and operational work.

Although Lincoln would still not give it to him, at least it seems that he could handle such work.

But that’s just about handling it. Want to do it well?

Ha! Just think about the current situation of “Blaze 3”!

If not handled properly, NetDragon might accidentally find out: Hey? I didn’t do anything, how come I succeeded in being an undercover agent?

That would be a big disgrace then.

But well, what’s that saying? There are always more solutions than problems. If you want to vent, there’s always a way.

– Once again, it’s not about venting tor himself, but tor Fred and his employees!

That’s what a boss should do.

Lincoln took out his mobile phone, opened the Spiritual Rhinoceros app, and asked Mavis, “Mavis, does this Henry have a Spiritual Rhinoceros account?”

“Let Mavis check… Yes, he does!”

“That makes it easy.”

Lincoln immediately started editing his post.

He always kept his account separate, occasionally posting life updates, and never thought of tying his account to the Cloud Dream Studio account, turning it into another public relations channel.

What’s the point of doing that?

It’s just so that when something like this happens, it’s convenient to mock someone!

Soon, Lincoln finished editing the post and sent it out:

‘@Henry, the person in charge of “Blaze 3” DLC, we have received your resume, and regret to inform you that we have no suitable positions for you.

Each employee of Cloud Dream has to be responsible for a specific job, so you may not be able to adapt to the working environment at Cloud Dream.

Also, I deeply sympathize with your current situation and sincerely point out a bright path for you: Why don’t you go and deliver food?

Admittedly, earning a living through labor is more tiring than managing people, but it is also more down-to-earth, why not enjoy it?]

After posting the message, Lincoln didn’t forget to share a screenshot in the studio group chat.

The core members of the studio are all from the former Flame Group, and their year-long efforts were destroyed by Henry. Before resigning, they also went through some torments, so it’s impossible for them not to have any resentment.

When Boss Lin avenges his employees, he naturally wants them to know about it.

After sending the message, he didn’t look at the employees’ reactions, put down his phone and went out for dinner.

Today, he made an appointment with two people to go to the Experience Store to test the effectiveness of the vision auxiliary device.

In his workspace, he had already tested it, blindfolded, he could “see” the outside environment.

And after trying three times, he can be sure that there are no problems, so he can’t wait to meet those two people.

Lincoln went to dinner in a relaxed mood, while netizens began their gossip time.

“Henry? I recall him! After Randall left Cloud Dream, he became the Chief Planner of “Blaze 3,” right?”

“DLC was also under his supervision? So the blame for “Blaze 3″ not having an ending should be his full responsibility, right?”

“But looking at Lincoln’s meaning, he resigned?”

‘What the hell! Got into trouble, and he just patted his butt and left? That’s too irresponsible! What about the DLC? Are they still making it!?”

“So, where did he get the nerve to apply for a position at Cloud Dream?”

“Pay attention to Lincoln’s wording, friends! ‘Because everyone at Cloud Dream has to work, it’s not suitable for you.’ Does this mean he only takes up space and never does anything serious?”

“So is his resignation a good thing?”

“Could there be a possibility, I’m just saying it’s possible, that he was kicked out?”

Henrv. seeing the notification that he was mentioned bv Lincoln. the sarcastic post he posted, and the accusations and mockery from netizens, his face turned pale with anger.

He didn’t fully rely on going to Cloud Dream, it was just that he thought, as an old pro in the workplace, the previous opposition with Cloud Dream was simply because he was at NetDragon.

While in position, pursue politics, ‘fighting for the master,” it doesn’t count as personal enmity.

Now that he left NetDragon, there is naturally no reason for opposition, and the past can be wiped out.

So when he was sending out resumes indiscriminately, he also sent one to Cloud Dream.

—Yes, he sent resumes to Flying Fox, Wild Island, Cloud Dream, and the five largest studios in the Bluebird Alliance.

Three of the five studios in the Bluebird Alliance have sent interview invitations. The fastest one, even scheduled his interview for this afternoon at three o’clock in their studio.

But after hanging up, Henry didn’t have time to be happy when he found out he was mocked by Lincoln…

He even sarcastically said he doesn’t do any real work and told him to go deliver food.

This is basically pointing at his nose and saying he can’t do anything, and is not competent for an important position!

Henry was angry at Lincoln’s “immaturity” for relentlessly pursuing someone who had already resigned, but at the same time, he couldn’t help but worry if it would affect his job-searching.

Just as the worrying started, his phone rang.

Seeing the caller ID [Source Fire Studio], he felt a great deal of unease since this was the studio that had invited him for an interview this afternoon.

With slightly trembling fingers, he pressed the accept button and put the receiver to his ear.

“Mr. Hu, I’m sorry, we regret to inform you that the interview scheduled for this afternoon has been canceled. We wish you find a satisfactory job soon.”

“Click, beep-beep-beep-”

Listening to the busy signal after the call was hung up, Henry stood there dumbfounded..
