The next day, in the company meeting room.

Qi Yun leaned back in his chair, talking on the phone with A-Jie.

"Investigate this person, see if they've recently had any contact with people from Giant Stone Technology."

"See if you can find any evidence."

"Knock, knock, knock~"

At this moment, a series of knocks sounded outside the meeting room. Qi Yun turned to look, and at the door stood a woman in her thirties, dressed in professional attire, exuding a sophisticated air.

"Alright, do it as soon as possible." Qi Yun instructed before hanging up the phone, then looked at the woman and said, "Are you Xiang Xiaoyue?"

"Yes, hello Mr. Qi." The woman slightly bowed.

"Hello, please have a seat." Qi Yun pointed to the chair opposite him.

The woman sat down and handed over a resume.

Qi Yun took it and briefly flipped through it: Xiang Xiaoyue, thirty years old, majored in Marketing at Tsinghua University, formerly served as the operations manager for a certain game at NetEase Games, and achieved outstanding results.

"Mengmeng has briefed you on the current situation of the company, right?" Qi Yun closed the resume and asked.

"Yes." Xiang Xiaoyue nodded, "I've also done an in-depth analysis of the game your company is currently developing."

Qi Yun crossed his arms and looked at her with interest: "Then share your evaluation."

"It has great potential, but the pace is too slow." Xiang Xiaoyue showed no sign of restraint despite being an interviewee; instead, she exuded a poised confidence as she began to speak eloquently.

"I've heard from Mengmeng that two companies have already approached you for cooperation, which sufficiently proves the potential of your company's product."

"However, in today's fiercely competitive business environment, if a good product or idea can't seize the market quickly or even monopolize a field, a lot of copycat competitors will soon emerge."

"If your company continues with the current development and operation model, I can assure you that within three months, similar games will inevitably appear on the market."

Qi Yun nodded in agreement: "That's also why I asked Mengmeng to bring you in. Now, I want to know what your plan is."

Xiang Xiaoyue handed over a document: "If you're willing to listen in detail, you might need to prepare to stay here all day. This is my proposal for the future development direction of the game."

"If you don't have much time to spend here, my answer is simple."

"As long as you provide sufficient support, I'm confident we can officially launch and start making a profit in two months."

Her gaze met Qi Yun's directly, her words full of confidence.

Qi Yun returned her gaze, looked into her eyes for a few seconds, then eventually smiled and placed the proposal aside: "Let's talk about your salary expectations."

"Fifty thousand." Xiang Xiaoyue replied bluntly.

Qi Yun agreed immediately without much thought. Judging from her resume, she was a capable person. If she could indeed achieve what she claimed, fifty thousand was not much.

He extended his hand and said: "Welcome to the team. You will be the company's product operations director from now on."

Xiang Xiaoyue smiled for the first time, stood up, and shook Qi Yun's hand: "Thank you, boss."

"Alright, go find Mengmeng to help you get familiarized first, I will announce your appointment shortly."

Xiang Xiaoyue nodded and walked out of the meeting room.

After she left, Qi Yun called in Zhong Rui and Yuan Hua, and briefed them on Xiang Xiaoyue.

"From now on, the two of you will cooperate with her work. Report anything beyond your authority to me."

They both nodded: "Okay, boss."

Qi Yun took a sip of the bottled water on the table and continued: "There's another thing, Wu Hongkui from the tech department was bribed by people from Giant Stone Technology, intending to steal our project code."

With these words, they both were taken aback, especially Yuan Hua, who seemed a bit in disbelief.

However, since the words came from Qi Yun, he had no choice but to believe it.

"Zhong Rui, go get him, and also bring his employment documents."

"Alright, boss." Zhong Rui responded and turned to leave.

After he left, Qi Yun looked at Yuan Hua and asked: "Will his departure have a major impact on the project?"

It's important to know that development positions are critical, especially for a small company like theirs, where generally every role is essential.

Yuan Hua shook off his shock and replied somewhat bitterly: "I'm sorry, boss, I didn't..."

Qi Yun interrupted by waving his hand: "Now isn't the time to talk about this, just answer my question first."

Yuan Hua took a deep breath: "Until we recruit someone, I can work overtime to cover his portion of the work."

Qi Yun nodded in satisfaction: "When he resigns, I need you to supervise and ensure he doesn't keep any of the company's code in any form."

"Additionally, as the head of the tech department, you need to be aware of such issues in the future. Don't let our efforts go to waste."

"Yes." Yuan Hua clenched his fists and, with his head down, replied, "I'll pay attention in future."

Qi Yun stood up and patted him on the shoulder: "Alright, this isn't your fault, go get back to work."

"Okay." Yuan Hua responded and left the meeting room, looking a bit dejected.

Before long, Zhong Rui came back with a slightly overweight young man.

"Boss, you were looking for me." Wu Hongkui asked somewhat nervously.

Qi Yun's face showed no emotion. He took the documents Zhong Rui handed over and pointed to the chair beside him: "Have a seat."

Wu Hongkui cautiously pulled out a chair and sat down, his gaze darting around uneasily.
