Chapter 190: Wheres Our Bonuses? (1)

In fact, most of them didn’t have a concrete sense of making games. Many of them just vaguely completed the tasks assigned by Mei Fang, thinking it was all just for fun.

But after seeing these bundles of money, the mood of everyone present became restless.

They were still high school students. These people still had to ask their parents for money even to buy study materials, and their monthly allowance was at most a few hundred yuan, and they were still under their parents’ supervision.

Now, they were looking at a total of 80,000 yuan. In their parents’ generation, they would earn just over 3,000 to 4,000 yuan per month. This amount of money was undoubtedly a huge sum that could change their perspectives on life.

“Now, I’ll distribute the year-end bonuses one by one. However, since it’s the profit-sharing portion related to game-related work, Peng Xue won’t receive a bonus. I hope you understand,” Mei Fang explained.

Peng Xue made an OK gesture and said, “I indeed didn’t do any work, but Boss Mei, you don’t need to be so formal. I don’t mind!”

Mei Fang continued, “If you’re willing to continue to be with the team, you can rely on Yuan Yuan to form a band in the future. You’ll get a share of Yuan Yuan’s album sales profits, performance fees, and other compensations. Additionally, our new project will also require game music design, but that will lean more towards the software side, which might involve Liu Xiaoyu more.”

“Whether it’s about money or not, it doesn’t matter to me. As long as I can be with Yuan Yuan, that’s all I want! Let’s all work hard together in the future, yeah!” Peng Xue and Xia Yuan high-fived each other across the room, displaying their usual synergy and intimacy.

Next, Mei Fang asked Lin Youxi to hand over 3,000 yuan. This money was Zhang Ming’s year-end bonus. Mei Fang put the money into an envelope and handed it to Zhang Ming, then explained to everyone: “Zhang Ming was mainly responsible for the planning and numerical data planning work for Reigns. This is part of his salary and bonus.”

Holding the money in his hand, Zhang Ming felt embarrassed. “I only helped you during the summer vacation, and I didn’t do it that well. You scolded me all the time. Is it really appropriate to give me so much?”

“It’s normal to receive criticism as a game designer. Sometimes, I was just joking. Don’t take it to heart. You did a decent job,” Mei Fang reassured him.

Due to his talent for gaming, Zhang Ming was quite adept at game planning. Mathematics was his strong suit, and he had some exposure to mathematical modeling through his experience in science experimental class. These abilities were particularly important for numerical data planning.

“No, I really can’t accept this... I feel so embarrassed.”

“If I’m giving it to you, then take it. Don’t feel embarrassed!” Mei Fang said seriously. “Besides, your year-end bonus is the smallest.”

“Oh, that’s harsh!”

“Don’t cry, Zhang Ming. I don’t have a single cent,” Peng Xue joked from the side.

After a few jokes from the group, the initially awkward atmosphere instantly became lively, and the private room was filled with laughter as they teased Zhang Ming.

Then, Mei Fang handed out Liu Xiaoyu’s bonus, and he asked Xia Yuan to explain this part:

“You’re so annoying, Xiaoxue! How can I not be happy? I’m extremely happy, okay? I’m so happy that I don’t want to go to school and study anymore. I just want to start a business with Mei Fang, Youxi, and Yuan Yuan. But that’s not realistic, is it?”

“Are you thinking that far ahead...? That’s amazing.” Peng Xue clapped her hands quickly.

It had to be admitted that Yue Xinyi was currently the most management-oriented member of the team. She interacted with more users and outsourced personnel from C Site, exposing her to various types of people and broadening her horizons.

Of course, there was another reason for Yue Xinyi’s distress.

I originally continued to work hard alongside Lin Youxi and Mei Fang for the sake of the FangXi ship, but how did I end up practically becoming the operations director of the website?

“Quitting school to pursue game development is indeed not realistic right now. Although our works are popular, luck plays a significant role. I still hope that everyone can continue to work hard and make progress, supporting the team’s business while ensuring that your studies are not neglected too much.”

As Mei Fang handed out the bonuses, he smiled and reminded everyone, “Although we’re happy our projects turned out well, the fact that you’re all able to receive such a large amount of money is still largely due to, as I said luck. I hope our team can go further, but that also requires everyone to have sufficient abilities in their respective areas of responsibility. Therefore, learning and university career planning are still very important.”

“So, if anyone can’t bear the corresponding responsibilities or lacks the ability to take on major tasks, to put it bluntly, I can’t just prioritize friendship, and at that time, I’ll have to find someone better.”

Mei Fang’s words were easy to interpret. It meant that the reason everyone could receive such large bonuses at this moment was because they were working with Mei Fang and because Mei Fang was generous.

However, if their abilities couldn’t keep up with the team’s development level in the future, they could be replaced.

Such remarks instantly made the previously lively atmosphere tense.

At this moment, Xia Yuan quickly chimed in to break the ice and nudged Mei Fang’s arm.

“Ah Fang, why are you saying such strange things? We all worked hard last year, and everyone put in a lot of effort. In the future, we will continue to move forward together, be good friends, and continue to make big money!”

Xia Yuan spoke while applauding, and the others, led by Peng Xue, followed suit.

Lin Youxi, after finished clapping, reminded Mei Fang and Xia Yuan, “There is still one person whose year-end bonus hasn’t been given, don’t just conclude yet.”

“Oh, right...”

Mei Fang had Lin Youxi put the remaining 50,000 yuan into a handbag and personally handed it to Guo Yun.
