In fact, everyone has never had any real feeling about making games. Many of them just vaguely completed the tasks assigned and distributed by Mei Fang, thinking that they were just making things for fun.
But after seeing those bundles of money, everyone present became uneasy.
They are still high school students. They have to ask their parents for money even to buy study materials. Their monthly pocket money is only a few hundred yuan at most, and they have to be supervised by their parents.
What they have in front of them now is a full 80,000 yuan. Their parents of that generation only earned a little over 3,000 to 4,000 yuan a month. This amount of money is definitely a huge sum that can change their outlook on life.
"Then I will distribute the year-end bonuses one by one. However, since it is a bonus for game-related work, Peng Xue will not receive any bonus. I hope you understand."
Peng Xue made an OK gesture, "I really didn't do any work, but Boss Mei, please don't be so polite. I don't mind this!"
Mei Fang continued, "If you are willing to continue to develop with us, you can rely on Yuanyuan to form a band in the future. You will have a share of the profits from Yuanyuan's albums and the remuneration for performances. In addition, our new work also requires game music design, but this will be more software-oriented, and Liu Xiaoyu may be more involved."
"Money doesn't matter, as long as I can be with Yuanyuan! Let's work hard together from now on, yeah!"
Peng Xue and Xia Yuan high-fived each other from a distance. They were still as tacit and close as ever.
Then Mei Fang asked Lin Youxi to sort out 3,000 yuan, which was Zhang Ming's year-end bonus. Mei Fang stuffed the money into an envelope and handed it to Zhang Ming, then explained to everyone:
"Zhang Ming is mainly responsible for the planning and numerical table matching of "King's Power", which is considered as salary and bonus."
Zhang Ming felt embarrassed holding the money in his hand.
"I only helped you during the summer vacation, and I didn't do a very good job. You kept scolding me. Is it really appropriate for you to give me so much?"
"It's normal to be scolded as a game planner. I'm just joking sometimes. Don't take it seriously. You've done a good job."
Because of his talent in playing games, Zhang Ming is quite adept at planning.
Mathematics is Zhang Ming's strong point, and he has also been exposed to some knowledge related to mathematical modeling in the science experimental class. These abilities are particularly important for numerical planning.
"No, I really can't take this... I'm so sorry."
"Just take it if you ask me to, don't be embarrassed!"
Mei Fang said seriously, "Your year-end bonus is the smallest anyway."
"Wow, that hurts!"
"Stop crying, Zhang Ming, I don't have a penny." Peng Xue also joked.
After a few people's teasing, the originally awkward atmosphere suddenly became lively, and the box was filled with the happy atmosphere of Zhang Ming.
Mei Fang was the second to give the bonus to Liu Xiaoyu. Mei Fang asked Xia Yuan to explain this part:
"Since I invited Xiaoyu to join Ximilu Studio, she has been helping me with music editing and accompaniment production. She almost completed the accompaniment of "No Makeup" by herself. It is really not easy to balance study and music. Xiaoyu has always been a very hard-working girl, so... this money is what you deserve."
The three people offered Liu Xiaoyu a bonus of 7,000 yuan, which was what Mei Fang and Xia Yuan had discussed on the way.
"I'm just... just doing music-related stuff. I haven't helped with the game. Besides, I get paid every month. Is it really appropriate to charge so much? Zhang Ming has some planning proposals. How can I get more than him..."
Liu Xiaoyu grumbled and refused to accept such a large bonus, but Xia Yuan forced the money into her arms.
"Afang said that your study of Fruit Music is a preparation for making game music in the future, so it makes sense to do it as an internship. Besides that, we can make more money after we make the album. You are always willing to spend time working overtime with me, so I hope you can accept this money."
"Actually... I like it too. I like the feeling of working towards our dreams together... Mei Fang's lyrics and Yuan Yuan's music are both very talented. I just helped out a little... Of course, I will learn more in the future and try to keep up with everyone..."
Liu Xiaoyu blushed and mumbled a lot, and finally stammered and couldn't say a word. Peng Xue took the lead in applauding, and everyone encouraged her to sit down. After she sat down, she rubbed her eyes.
Liu Xiaoyu in this life is actually a little bit inferior, but deep down, she still loves the things she likes, just like in her previous life.
The total year-end bonus is 80,000, but only 10,000 has been paid out so far. Mei Fangxiayuan and Lin Youxi, who originally received the lion's share, will not participate in the dividend distribution this time. No matter how the remaining 70,000 is divided among Yue Xinyi and Guo Yun, it will be an exaggeration.
Lin Youxi was responsible for distributing Yue Xinyi's 20,000 year-end bonus. She was only concerned with giving out money and didn't say anything. Mei Fang pulled Lin Youxi
"Should... I say something?"
"You are the webmaster of Station C. It's up to you or me to decide?"
"good."
Lin Youxi cleared her throat slightly and said, "Xinyi has been responsible for maintaining and operating C Station's external affairs since the summer vacation. At first glance, it may have nothing to do with games, but C Station is currently our most important video barrage website with the most traffic. Our game can have 80,000 sales, and C Station has contributed more than half of the credit, so this is also the part you deserve."
Mei Fang reminded, "The copywriting and planning work for Restart Simulator is mainly handled by Yue Xinyi. Although we don't work together, Yue Xinyi is indeed an indispensable member of our team."
"Um...thank you."
Yue Xinyi took a thick stack of banknotes from Lin Youxi and returned to her seat amid everyone's applause.
"Xiao Yizi, why are you so quiet? A normal person would jump for joy after receiving such a large sum of money, right?"
Peng Xue kept poking Yue Xinyi. Yue Xinyi kept her head down and was poked by Peng Xue for a long time before he finally broke through and pinched her face.
"You're so nagging... Xiaoxue, are you annoying? How could I not be happy? I'm super happy, okay? I'm so happy that I don't even want to go to school. I just want to start a business with Mei Gou, You Xi, Yuan Yuan and the others, okay? But that's unrealistic, isn't it!"
"You've thought of something this far ahead... That's amazing." Peng Xue clapped her hands quickly.
We have to admit that Yue Xinyi is currently the member with the most management awareness in the team. She comes into contact with many users and outsourced personnel of C Station, and facing different kinds of people directly has broadened her horizons.
Of course, there is another reason why Yue Xinyi is distressed.
I continued to work hard with Lin Youxi and Mei Fang just for the sake of Fang Xi's CP sweetness, but how come I'm almost becoming the operations director of the website
"It's really not realistic to drop out of school to make games now. Although our works are very popular now, there is a lot of luck involved. I still hope that everyone can continue to work hard to make progress and support the team's career while ensuring that they don't fall behind in their studies."
While handing out the bonuses, Mei Fang also reminded everyone with a smile, "Although we are very happy that the project was completed, luck is still a big factor in why everyone can get so much money now. I hope our team can go further, but that also requires everyone to have sufficient strength in their respective areas of responsibility, so learning, including career planning in college, is still very important."
"So... if you can't shoulder the corresponding responsibilities, or don't have the ability to take the lead, to put it bluntly, then I can't just consider the friendship between friends, and I will have to ask for help from others."
Mei Fang’s meaning is easy to understand. It means that the reason why you can get so much bonus is because you follow me, Mei Fang, and I, Mei Fang, am a very generous person.
However, as the project grows in the future, if your strength cannot keep up with the development level of the team, you may be replaced.
Such remarks also made the originally lively atmosphere suddenly become a little tense.
At this time, Xia Yuan, who was standing by, quickly took the blame and poked Mei Fang's arm:
"Fang, why are you saying such strange things? We all worked hard last year. We will continue to move forward together, continue to be good friends, and continue to make a lot of money together!"
Xia Yuan applauded while speaking, and others, led by Peng Xue, followed suit. After Lin Youxi finished applauding, he reminded Mei Fang and Xia Yuan, "There is still one person whose year-end bonus has not been issued, so don't just summarize it directly."
"Oh, right..."
Mei Fang asked Lin Youxi to pack the remaining 50,000 yuan into a handbag, and then he personally handed it to Guo Yun.
The second part is posted together, there is another chapter below.
