-As expected, UPD of annihilation… … DDDD

└ No matter how big the mistake is, there is a credit that has led the popular game so far… … I cut it off without mercy;

└ PD Jeong Jong-cheol cursed at me like that… … It’s kind of pitiful to see it cut off like that. Is it bad luck;;

└It’s pitiful… … that’s right for me Honestly, what has Jeong Jong-cheol done in the meantime? All I could do was to belatedly occupy and sit at a table that someone else had set up well… … I couldn’t even eat properly, so I just had an accident.

└ I heard that Nepple’s popular game producer has been a bit pretentious just for the reason… … Yoo Tae-yeon When the PD system is switched, he is beaten mercilessly and left;

└ I heard rumors about this and that, but… … PD Yoo Tae-yeon seems like a really scary person;

Taeyeon’s other nickname was highlighted once again.

“Hey, UPD of annihilation?”

“… … .”

“How come you have a nickname like that? Iron Blood. Reaper. machine. respirator… … What else?”

Every time a nickname is listed, laughter bursts out in the conference room.

Seeing Taeyeon without a change in expression, Chairman Yoo Jin-seong sighed.

“You man. It’s overly FM. Then the people below will have a hard time… … Any complaints?”

“doesn’t exist.”

“No? No way… … .”

“They did a good job because they raised their salaries and gave good incentives.”

“… … .”

“I only ask for as much as I do. Even he never does anything unreasonable. I have never made any unreasonable demands.”

“… … you’re good man Anyway, so what are you going to do with the moonlight story? You cut the heads of the PD, the planning team leader, and even the scenario part leader. Have you prepared any follow-up measures?”

“We have placed the right people and are conducting interviews with talented developers to prepare for job vacancies. no problem.”

“How do you deal with the Battle City hacking problem? We need to solve that problem quickly.”

“Hacking isn’t just a Battle City problem. We are promoting the establishment of a dedicated research team by recruiting security experts separately.”

“I know that, but I can’t let go of it for a while, can I? I have to do something. In particular, Battle City is our company’s main source of revenue, so a countermeasure is urgent. know?”

“I know that. So, as soon as possible, I am in the process of analyzing, fixing, and strengthening security vulnerabilities myself. We are working on acquiring and analyzing popular game hacks on the market to block memory and process access to programs with specific patterns.”

“… … .”

Everyone put on a bewildered expression at the professional explanation that followed.

Chairman Yoo Jin-seong asked while watching Son Young-sang.

“Do you understand what that means?”

“It just means that security is being strengthened in all directions.”

“I know that man! I mean the content. detail!”

“yes. what… … .”

Director Son Young-sang said while looking at Taeyeon as if she were a mysterious creature.

“Taeyeon is much better than most security experts. Do you think it would be okay to just have one of them without establishing a dedicated team?”

“What can this guy not do?”

“Since there is no such thing, isn’t it showing great power now? Right now, the president and everyone here, when something important happens, Taeyeon is the first to go.”

“but… … .”

Taeyeon let out a small sigh.

I rode the elevator without thinking and ran into the development team staff.

“Huh! Oh, hello!”

“… … !”

The figures harden like herbivores who encountered a beast.

Those who were about to board on the next floor also stopped at the sight of Taeyeon and politely raised their hands.

uncomfortable silence.

‘Why the hell did my image look like this?’

Hong Min-seok AD explained the reason simply and clearly.

“I’m really scared, so I’m trembling.”

“… … Do I have a nasty impression?”

“He is handsome. Good skin, good body, good voice… … The problem is that the atmosphere is so cold and full of force… … .”

“Force?”

“Well, it’s like charisma.”

Hong Min-seok laughed as Tae-yeon frowned.

“I think it is good.”

“You like this image? Everyone is reluctant to run into each other, and if you happen to be together for a while, you shudder.”

“It’s a million times better than taking it lightly.”

“hmm… … .”

“I think so. A leader must be strong!”

Where have you heard… … ?

“The leader is the face of the team. If the leader is light, the team feels light. On the other hand, if the leader is unusual, how great are the people who work under him. It creates anticipation.”

“hmm.”

“Honestly, I don’t think that the big issue with my wife this time is simply that she is beautiful and that the costume suits her perfectly.”

“… … .?”

“I think the big thing about being the art director of a team that made a game that shocked the world and turned E3 upside down.”

Taeyeon let out a sigh when she saw his expression full of mischievous smiles.

“You seem to be obsessed with Gukppong Mu-tube these days.”

“Anyway, I don’t know if you know that because PD-nim is a little uncomfortable, Nexple Entertainment developers, including me, put some strength on their shoulders.”

“Are you putting strength on your shoulders? Why?”

“It’s because the president’s reputation is so brilliant.”

“… … .”

“I’m not being sarcastic at all, so put aside the doubts in those eyes. You know that it’s really rare in the game industry to have a leader you can trust and be proud of.”

“Am I that kind of leader?”

“Exactly.”

Taeyeon shook her head as if she couldn’t agree, but Hong Minseok continued.

“I want you to maintain your current image as much as possible. The light and friendly position is handed over to me, the director, and the generals.”

Hong Min-seok solved the fundamental question Taeyeon had about the current situation.

“You are doing very well right now, so there is no need to worry unnecessarily, and there is no need to try to transform. You know? Mr. Yu Muk-jik.”

“… … .”

After that, Taeyeon, who had been immersed in her thoughts for a long time, finally let out an exclamation.

“A leader must be strong. Where did you hear this… … .”

business general manager. Director Lee Tae-young came to Tae-yeon and said.

“Let’s do an interview.”

“what… … ?”

“Nothing. What does Nexple and Nexple Entertainment dream of? What are you aiming for and what are you doing now for it? This is an interview about something like this.”

what intention

Director Lee Tae-young spoke lightly to Tae-yeon, who was troubled.

“You don’t have to think hard. Recently, the New World Group, Disney Company, and theme parks have started non-game businesses, right? You are also preparing for a content platform business.”

“Yes.”

“At first, our company was just a simple game company. However, the games became successful one by one, and with the money earned, we started M&A, and at some point, we became a company that focused more on game publishing.”

He shrugged.

“In fact, in this case, it was a criticism of the direction of the company, which was preoccupied with inflating its size through mergers and acquisitions rather than development.”

Taeyeon nodded her head in agreement.

“And now I’m trying to go one step further than that. Theme park, short animation production, etc. And from this process, many people felt confused and started to question. So what does a company called Nexple want to do?”

President Jin-Sung Yoo’s dream was clear.

Asian Disney.

However, that was only a dream of his own, and the reality was far away.

“In a chaotic situation, saying such dreamy things will only cause ridicule. And that’s an individual ideal, not a corporate vision. is not it?”

“You are right.”

“In fact, the big reason why director Sohn Young-sang and I felt skeptical. I’m trying a lot of new things, but I don’t know what to aim for. I know what the president wants, but I thought that was impossible at this point.”

“So that’s why you lost your motivation.”

“Exactly. What kind of strength do you have when you’re just wandering? Did you feel like you were shoveling in the air until now?”

“I understand.”

“Yes, but recently positive changes have begun to occur.”

Director Lee Tae-young grins.

“Because of your appearance, Taeyeon.”

“… … .”

“We are old. I still managed to find a few decent heirs, but Isa Son didn’t have anything like that. There was at least one person who put a lot of effort into it, but it turned out that way… … .”

“Are you referring to producer Song Jae-hee of Elcross?”

“okay. that human Aside from success, a person who can’t even manage his own project properly will determine the future of the company… … .”

He said with a self-deprecating smile.

“It’s not the time to talk about others, but… … Anyway, that’s what we needed. A strong leader!”

“Did you think it was me?”

“Is it really so?”

“… … .”

“Anyway, you are different from other people who only talk. show the result I thought it was time. This person is the new leader who will lead our future. The ideal of this person is the new vision of our company. Let’s make this public.”

“Is it that important?”

“cancer. It doesn’t matter.”

He drank a glass of water and said.

“Vision is a matter that is directly related to the reason for an object’s existence and its value.”

Here, Taeyeon felt as if she had been hit hard on the head.

‘The reason for existence and value… … .’

“You have demonstrated your qualifications to be a leader. So, now it’s time to come to the fore in earnest and give a new vision to countless Nexle people and lead them.”

The words that followed weighed heavily on his shoulders.

“As the new CEO of Nexple, which has been vacant for a while.”

“… … !”

Taeyeon, who was silent at the overwhelming weight, tilted her head at the momentary question.

“Then who has performed the representative duties so far?”

“me. To be precise, he was the representative. It is not formal.”

“ah… … .”

“It has been really heavy. It was hard. But now that I have you, I can feel at ease.”

“… … .”

“Don’t worry too much. ‘Cause I’ll be there to help You are a developer by nature, so you want to develop the games and contents you want until you die of old age. no?”

Taeyeon smiled for the first time.

“You saw it right away.”

“I am going to help you with that. I’ll take care of all the troublesome tasks, so you work hard on the development. make lots of fun things Don’t put any limits.”

Taeyeon said with a confident smile.

“I’m sure you know what that means.”
