Chapter 229: Chapter 229: Not a Single One is Worry-Free!

He glanced at the time; it was already past eight at night.

Standing up, he went upstairs directly to his room, only to discover that Xiao Zihan hadn’t come back yet.

He sighed helplessly; none of these guys let people have peace of mind.

They agreed on a seven and a half hour workday, but the middle and senior management doesn’t leave before ten!

With a helpless feeling, he went downstairs, and sure enough, all three office buildings were brightly lit.

He entered the Network Technology Department, and there were Li Zirui, Tang Ying, and a dozen other staff tapping away at their keyboards.

He clapped his hands with resignation, immediately attracting everyone’s attention:

“What are you all doing? Do you know what time it is? Li Zirui! Look at the time!”

Li Zirui, who was coding, pulled his gaze away from the screen and looked blankly at the time on the monitor, then replied somewhat confusedly:

“It’s 8:36, why, boss?”

Hearing this guy ask him why, Lin Yi was so amused he laughed out loud:

“Ha, you actually know it’s 8:36? Still asking me why? Tell me, what time do we get off work?”

At this, Li Zirui finally realized.

There was no helping it; this guy is usually pretty smart, but once he’s immersed in work, he becomes slow-witted.

It’s as if he tosses his brains all into the computer.

Seeing the boss’s helpless expression, Li Zirui chuckled:

“Hehe, it’s a special period, right? Other departments can leave early, but not us.

The earliest batch of Core phones has reached users, so you know the Nuclear Creation Community is just starting to get busy. Without monitoring, I feel uneasy.

If you don’t believe me, ask everyone, isn’t that so?”

Unexpectedly, this guy shamelessly dragged everyone down with him.

Hearing Li Zirui’s words, everyone below echoed agreement.

At this, Lin Yi was also helpless, as it was the first time he’d heard of employees so passionate about their work.

The boss wants to leave work early, but instead, the employees find reasons to stay for overtime…

Finally, he sighed helplessly, pointed at Li Zirui, and then spoke to everyone:

“The latest is 9:30! Except for those on night duty, everyone else must rest! Also, overtime pay will be five times the regular rate.”

After speaking, he reached into his pocket and pulled out a hard drive.

Unamused, he handed it to Li Zirui:

“Next time, don’t lead these overtime sessions! First, look at this and integrate it into three versions.”

After saying this, Lin Yi turned and headed towards the elevator, knowing well that it wasn’t only this department working overtime; many others were too.

“Sigh, this overtime culture needs to change; otherwise, we’ll have to prepare night snacks for them…”

Upon hearing these drifting words from the boss, everyone in the Network Technology Department looked at each other, exchanging glances and seeing the smiles in each other’s eyes.

Meanwhile, they also decided to keep up the good habit of sticking to overtime work.

There’s no choice; our Boss Lin is just too good…

He took a stroll, finding almost every department’s employees like those in the Network Technology Department, holding various reasons to work overtime.

In the end, helpless, Lin Yi called over the busy Li Huiqun, instructing him to contact an interior design company immediately.

He told them to redesign building 4 next door into a super luxurious modern rest area combining a dining hall and leisure space, and open it 24/7 for free to all Nuclear Group employees!

Upon hearing this, Li Huiqun was dumbfounded and, after holding it in for quite a while, finally uttered a sentence:

“Boss, you mean to renovate a whole building??”

After receiving confirmation from Lin Yi, Li Huiqun couldn’t help but give a thumbs up, muttering two words:

“Awesome!”

But for Lin Yi’s decisions, Li Huiqun never doubted them; whether right or wrong, as long as the boss said it, he’d absolutely execute them thoroughly.

…

Thus, the days passed, and the 800,000 Core phones ordered that day have all been delivered.

Meanwhile, a Core fever officially kicked off online.

Some online influencers launched various usage tips for Core phones.

Currently, the daily active users in the Nuclear Creation Community have exceeded 100 million, and this number is still climbing.

The most commented topics in the community are all about Core phone usage tips and hidden feature decryptions.

Especially for some potential features, their level of detail even surpasses that of the development team at Nuclear Group.

Even Lin Yi couldn’t help but exclaim ‘Genius’ when he saw it.

Of course, with the soaring popularity of Core phones, Lin Yi, Xiao Zihan, and others were about to embrace real university life.

Tomorrow is the day for freshman registration…
