Hong Wu

"Hey, I remember the contract we signed with him. Not only is there a penalty for breach of contract, he also has one, right?"

Xu Zhi had previously seen the contract he signed with Wang Kewen. Within five years, if he was fired or took the initiative to change jobs, he would have to pay a penalty of three times his salary. As for the competition agreement, Bluestar currently did not have such a thing.

"President Xu, yes, there is such an agreement. Do you want to pursue it?" Gu Wenwei asked.

"Of course, I want to pursue it now!"

"Okay! I'll do it."

After Gu Wenwei left, Xu Zhi raised his head and picked up a pen on his desk. Now that Wang Kewen had left, the position of director of the R&D department was vacant.

In the Dream Game Company, there was no such thing as a deputy director of each department. The next position under director would be the team leader.

Regarding the vacant position of head of the R&D department, Xu Zhi did not plan to recruit people from outside. Instead, he chose them from within.

Xu Zhi had met all three team leaders of the R&D department. One of them left a deep impression on him, and he had a good impression of him before.

It was the employee who had barged into the meeting room at the beginning of the open beta because the server capacity was not enough. His name was Hong Wu, the third team leader of the R&D department.

At that time, Wang Kewen did not say that he was the team leader, and Xu Zhi only thought that he was an ordinary employee. Later, he found out that he was the third team leader of the R&D department, in charge of the server for Jumping the Line of Fire.

"Hong Wu, Hong Wu."

Xu Zhi wanted to promote him directly to the position of director, but Xu Zhi also thought of what would happen if he could not convince the public.

Putting down his pen, Xu Zhi walked out of the president's office.

The main building of Dream Game Company was surrounded by a circle of walls, and there was a gate to the south of the wall. There were two rooms at the gate, and inside was the security department. Although it was called the security department, there were actually only five or six old security guards on duty. They would just open the gate when they see a car, and they would keep watch at night. When they saw Xu Zhi, they would raise their hands to salute him.

On the first floor of the building, half of the reception hall was occupied. The rest was the office area for personnel administration. On the second floor, there were offices for the marketing department, research and development department, operations department, and planning department. They were separated from each other.

On the third floor, other than Xu Zhi's office, there was also the location of the finance department and the promotion department that Xu Zhi had previously set up.

Overall, the first and third floors were relatively empty, while the second floor seemed more compact.

Xu Zhi had previously wanted a department to move to the third or first floor, but the strange thing was that no one wanted to move, so in the end, he just let it go.

At this time, when he walked down to the third floor, Xu Zhi started to walk around the various departments on the second floor.

After walking around once, everyone was at various positions. When they saw Xu Zhi, they all wanted to bury their heads into their computers, appearing to be very serious in their work. For a moment, the second floor, which was originally noisy, suddenly became quieter than the Mariana Trench. Only the sound of Xu Zhi's footsteps echoed.

Xu Zhi was also experienced, so he understood.

When he went to the R&D department, Xu Zhi stopped moving. He stared at the worktables of the employees and observed Hong Wu from there.

At this moment, when the employees of the R&D department saw Xu Zhi staring at them, they all felt goosebumps and began to communicate with each other with their eyes.

Hong Wu's third group had quite a number of people. After going through the busy process of the open beta of Jumping the Line of Fire, they had been very relaxed recently.

"Brother Hong, what is President Xu looking at?"

One of the staff next to him winked at Hong Wu. Hong Wu immediately understood what he meant. He blinked, and Hong Wu could not figure out what Xu Zhi was doing.

"Could it be that he's going to lay off people?"

Hong Wu suddenly thought about it, but he was not sure either. However, there was this possibility. There were a lot of people in the R&D department right now.

After looking at it for a while, Xu Zhi was still quite satisfied. He decided to let Hong Wu be the head of the R&D department.

However, compared to directly announcing it, Xu Zhi had an additional idea.

When he went to the first floor, Xu Zhi took a cardboard box from the human resources department and then took out a few pieces of A4 paper.

Xu Zhi did not ask anyone to help him. In a corner, he cut the A4 paper into small pieces of paper. Holding a pen, Xu Zhi seemed to be writing something. Then, after a series of small movements, Xu Zhi carried the cardboard box to the second floor.

Clap clap!!

The two claps immediately attracted everyone's attention. Xu Zhi asked the others to calm down and continue working. Only the people from the research and development department stood up.

"Everyone, stop working first. I have something to announce. First of all, your former director, Wang Kewen, has resigned."

When Xu Zhi said this, no one made any sound. However, their eyes drifted around as they digested this information.

Xu Zhi continued, "Then, I, Xu Zhi, want everyone to choose the position of Director. We will choose one of the three team leaders from the R&D department."

"Three team leaders, three options. Everyone must write one. Come and get a note from me. Once you're done, put it in the box."

There were a total of 56 employees in the R&D department. Other than Wang Kewen, there were 55 of them. After hearing Xu Zhi's words, they all went forward and got a note.

Holding the note, the employees looked at each other. Their team leaders were a little unsettled. However, Xu Zhi was watching them. No one dared to say anything. They just looked around and communicated with each other.

"Everyone, hurry up and write! Don't hesitate!" Xu Zhi urged.

After Xu Zhi finished speaking, in less than ten minutes, all the employees had finished writing, and the note was placed into the cardboard box by Xu Zhi's hand.

Although Xu Zhi had asked the other departments on the second floor to sit down and work. However, what happened in the R&D department at this time attracted a lot of attention. Everyone found it difficult to calm down. On the surface, they were working, but in reality, they were secretly paying attention.

Xu Zhi suddenly turned his head and called over an ordinary employee from the operations department.

"Come, come over here and count these tickets."

After being called out by Xu Zhi, the employee from the operations department who was peeping suddenly trembled.

However, after understanding what Xu Zhi had asked him to do, he felt relieved. He took Xu Zhi's cardboard box and started to count the tickets one by one in front of a small blackboard in the R&D department.

Looking at the staff member whose name was added to each piece of paper, the team leaders of the R&D department held their breaths.

After counting, there was no shortage of 55 votes. No one abandoned their votes.

First team leader, 17 votes

Second team leader, 15 votes

Third team leader, 23 votes

Team three did not have the most staff in the R&D department, but they had the most votes. This result had explained everything.

Looking at the number of votes, the leader of Team one and the leader of team two glanced at it and sat back down gloomily. At this moment, Hong Wu was a little shocked by the surprise. He had become the Director?

"Alright, since this is the case, Hong Wu will become the new director of the R&D department. Come to my office later."

After saying that, Xu Zhi put away the cardboard box and the note. He crossed his arms in front of his chest and returned the cardboard box to the personnel department on the first floor.

"Brother Hong? Should I call you Director Hong?"

"Hello, Director Hong!"

In the second team of the R&D department, the team members at the bottom all praised Hong Wu after Xu Zhi left. The other two team leaders also smiled and congratulated Hong Wu after sighing.
