Chapter 630: Li Jingshu’s Inspection
Players were absolutely stunned by Thunder Game’s Spring Festival event. This was just… blatant robbery!
The Spring Festival hadn’t even arrived yet, but the official forums were already buzzing. Players from all the games were discussing their unique holiday events, and the most talked-about was clearly the “Spring Festival Themed Skin Bundle.”
“Have you guys seen the promotional video for the new skins? I feel like my wallet is doomed!”
“The new Chinese-style skins are way too beautiful! And I have to buy them for *League of Legends*, *Overwatch*, and *Honor of Kings*! Damn it, PC, mobile, and VR—none of them are getting away!”
“Hehe, you can just buy the Spring Festival Themed Skin Bundle directly. No lottery needed, and you get the whole set at fifty percent off.”
“Damn, 3288 though…”
“Heh, for the whales, that’s pocket change. Three thousand bucks, just a little sprinkle.”
“Looks like everything is on sale! Even the item exchanges in *Thunder Card Games* are discounted? I’m cashing out all my beans right now…”
“What the hell, is this Spring Festival event just about spending money? Chen Mo, where’s your conscience?”
“Conscience? When did Chen Mo ever have a conscience? That’s a fresh one…”
“You two above, isn’t that unfair? So many new skins, such a strong discount—how is that not conscientious?! All games are either fifty percent or twenty percent off, and you’re still not satisfied!”
“Yeah, it’s not just the spending events. The game scenes have all been changed to Spring Festival themes too. *Minecraft* even added firework items, hehe.”
“Dark Souls players are shocked. I thought there wouldn’t be anything for Dark Souls this Spring Festival, but Chen Mo actually… made a set of bright red clothes and two door panels with ‘fortune’ stickers on them… Damn, he really goes all out!”
“Damn, the Switch at this price, 2222… Is it mocking someone? But it comes with a bunch of games… Ugh, no, I have to resist the temptation…”
The players were going crazy. Chen Mo wasn’t letting anyone have a good holiday!
Not only were the skins beautiful, but the discounts were so low!
And all the games were on sale, with discounts that were impossible to refuse!
What could they do? Their wallets didn’t want to buy, but the temptation was hard to resist!
Many players agonized for a long time before realizing—Chen Mo was giving an early warning so everyone would save their year-end bonuses and New Year’s money!
By announcing it early, they couldn’t spend their money elsewhere…
There was still a long period of struggle before the New Year, enough time for players to have a good mental battle.
…
“Hello? Jingsi, I’m at the entrance.”
In the experience store lobby, Li Jingshu put her phone back in her bag. After waiting two minutes, Li Jingsi came to the lobby to greet her.
Actually, Li Jingshu had visited the experience store quite a few times before, but most of the time it was to catch Li Jingsi, like a parent going to an internet café to drag their kid out…
But this time was different. After all, Li Jingsi was now a formal employee of Thunder Interactive, so this was essentially an inspection of her workplace.
A kid who always skipped class to play games suddenly became a manager at the internet café, with a pretty high salary… This kind of shift was hard for most people to accept all at once.
Li Jingshu was also full of doubts.
Mainly because Li Jingsi casually mentioned that her monthly salary was over twenty thousand, plus a year-end bonus, which left Li Jingshu completely baffled. How was she earning more than a workplace elite like herself…
Sure, Li Jingsi was good at gaming, but she’d never heard of a fresh graduate getting that much right off the bat!
And the job title was really weird too, “Thunder Games Chief Experience Officer.” It sounded totally made up!
So Li Jingshu didn’t trust it and wanted to check things out.
Li Jingsi smiled and asked, “What do you want to see?”
Li Jingshu thought for a moment. “Hmm… Let’s start with your workstation. Where is it?”
Li Jingsi pointed at the lobby sofa. “Oh, when I’m free, I just sit on the sofa and relax. When I need to test a game, I go straight to the experience zones.”
Li Jingshu: “… I haven’t read much, but don’t try to fool me. Is that really a formal employee?!”
Li Jingsi laughed it off. “Hey, the nature of the job is different. You’ve never been a ‘Chief Experience Officer,’ so how would you know what kind of workstation it needs?”
Li Jingshu: “…”
Seeing that she clearly didn’t believe her, Li Jingsi suggested, “How about this? I’ll show you my contract. Follow me.”
“Contract? Isn’t that inappropriate?” Li Jingshu was a bit puzzled. Normally, both the individual and the company each kept a copy of the contract, but from the way Li Jingsi was acting, it seemed like she was going to show her the company’s copy?
Li Jingsi led her to the fourth floor, sat down in a meeting room, and then found Su Jinyu. “Goldfish, could you grab my contract for me?”
Su Jinyu nodded. “Sure, hold on a sec.”
Li Jingshu squinted. “And this is…”
Li Jingsi said, “Oh, she’s our vice president, the most senior employee. She’s currently overseeing the development progress of all projects.”
Li Jingshu frowned. “What did you just call her?”
Li Jingsi said, “Goldfish.”
Li Jingshu whispered, “Shouldn’t it be something like President Jin?”
Li Jingsi chuckled. “No, game companies don’t have that many rules. Besides, her surname is Su, not Jin.”
While Li Jingshu was still suspicious, Su Jinyu had already brought the contract over.
“Here, take a look.” Su Jinyu said.
Li Jingshu accepted it with both hands, flattered. She thought to herself, this vice president really has no airs at all…
Thunder Interactive was one of the top game developers and operators in the country. This vice president should be worth hundreds of millions, but she looked like a student council officer…
“Maybe I just don’t understand the world of the rich!”
Li Jingshu sighed as she opened the labor contract.
Hmm, the job title was fine, the salary was fine, and all the various clauses were fine. It was a perfectly standard labor contract, nothing fishy…
But the salary figures and clauses written in the contract left Li Jingshu a bit stunned. None of this made sense!
Still, she couldn’t find any red flags. Could it be that her cousin had really just stumbled into a great job?
Li Jingsi said, “Sis, is there anything else you want to ask? Should I go get the boss?”
Li Jingshu quickly waved her hand. “No, no, no need. It wouldn’t be right to bother President Chen over this. I don’t want to leave a bad impression on him for you.”
“Alright, I just came to confirm things so your parents can rest easy. Finding a good job is a good thing. You need to work hard.”
Li Jingsi smiled lightly. “Okay, sis, I understand.”
