The Game Developer Who Left the Company Is Too Competent

8. rumor

The producer sighed as he couldn’t be more angry when Taeyeon came out in a low profile.

“To be honest, I didn’t want to come to the PD and say something like this. However, after knowing that some of my development team had requested transfers, I felt a bit betrayed… … .”

As they left, Taeyeon, who was left alone, sighed deeply.

And after a while, everyone gathered together and asked for attention.

“As a producer, I am very fortunate to hear that you are satisfied with the working environment, but I hope that you are the only one who has that satisfaction. Let’s not go around telling people that our studio is the best or that PD Yoo is the nicest and most handsome!”

“I didn’t say I was handsome… … .”

“Who spread that nonsense?”

Laughter and jokes broke out here and there.

Taeyeon once again earnestly requested.

“It’s because I don’t want to make unnecessary enemies. Isn’t it good if only we know each other? I want to do that, so please cooperate!”

After repeating the same thing on Nepple Plus, Taeyeon worried about what would happen next.

“I hope there will be no more problems, but… … .”

Taeyeon monitored rumors about the studios by going around the reed tree forest app and other sites that tell the story behind the company.

Asking for a lockdown certainly had an effect. There were still many questions asking about the atmosphere of Universe Studio or whether it was possible to switch arrangements, but there were no more replies from the staff.

‘good. In this atmosphere, you’ll soon be forgotten.’

However, rumors breed other rumors.

For a while, Taeyeon forgot that rumors spread through word of mouth, not through apps or websites.

Chosun-ah carefully asked while having a cup of coffee after adjusting the schedule for a tour of a certain university.

“I have a real question.”

“What is it?”

“PD-nim, do you have a blood relationship with the chairman?”

“What do you mean?”

“There are a lot of active PDs these days. That’s all because there is some kind of blood relationship with Chairman Jin-Sung Yoo, so the administrative organizations and the two directors look after him… … . Well, that kind of story went around.”

It was an amazing story.

Taeyeon, who was dazed, asked with a frown on her face.

“Sunah, you don’t believe in such nonsense, do you?”

“Of course I don’t believe it. But since there are so many people asking around me, I’m a bit confused… … .”

“no.”

Taeyeon said.

“My parents and relatives are all natives of Yeosu and live there. I have been living alone in Seoul for over 10 years.”

“Yes? I know that too, but I keep asking as if checking the facts… … .”

Taeyeon thought this situation was somehow familiar.

‘Yeah, it was like that in the days of Dream Soft.’

At the time, many people doubted whether he had some kind of relationship with the company executives after becoming the youngest director and head of the imperial sword planning team.

I put down the rumors with my practical skills, but I remember having a very troublesome time because I was suspected for quite a long time.

“Is that rumor spreading a lot?”

“I guess so.”

“What else have you heard?”

“therefore… … .”

Returning to her work desk, Taeyeon clutched at her throbbing hair and fell into trouble.

At that time, a group of employees came in and rushed to Taeyeon, throwing words one by one.

“I heard a lot of rumors in the cafeteria. I heard that the chairman is PD’s maternal uncle?”

“I heard that the annual salary is over 200 million and that he commutes in a new Mercedes E-Class… … .”

“I hear that your lover is a celebrity, so will Cho Seon-ah be indebted to Nakdonggang duck eggs?”

Since there is no sense of distance, he naturally asks for fact-checking without any sign of distance. Lee Young-ae laughed and said nothing, just watching.

“Where do such ridiculous rumors come from? … It’s all nonsense, so don’t talk nonsense and just do things.”

“Please give me that Benz!”

“Please tell the chairman to replace the graphic card with the latest one!”

“Cho Seon-ah is a good person, but if you throw it away, you will be punished!”

The developers went back to their seats, shouting salt to the end.

Taeyeon let out a sigh, and Lee Young-ae approached and spoke in a caring voice.

“Don’t worry too much about it. People who suddenly stand out in a large group go through it once in a while.”

“Does Team Leader Youngae have any experience?”

“Sure. Shortly after joining Disney, I had a brief role as a character supervisor due to unavoidable circumstances. At that time, all sorts of rumors were circulating.”

“Is it at Disney?”

“It is also a place where people live. My husband and I have been through a lot.”

“okay.”

It’s a rumor that will subside with time. Taeyeon thought so, but on the other hand, she also had anxiety.

This is because Nexple is a huge place where the size of the company is incomparable to Dream Soft.

From the days of Dream Soft to CBT and OBT, rumors and negative views disappeared only after successful trials without major problems.

‘This, I don’t know if the size and vitality of the rumors will grow that much.’

That prediction was correct.

A few days later, the entire industry as well as the studio was turned upside down by a post posted in the reed forest.

-Nexple Yoo Tae-yeon PD, please explain.

I am a developer working on the Nexple Mo project team. Nexple employees must have heard rumors that started to circulate a while ago. However, there were a few things that I couldn’t overlook or ignore, so I raised my arms and officially raised questions.

Its content is as follows.

1. Buying an apartment.

I found out that during the time of Bless, PD-nim lived in an officetel about 10 pyeong near the station. However, he said that he sold an expensive apartment shortly after moving to Nexle.

The content is that Chairman Yoo Jin-seong supported hundreds of millions of dollars with company money and traded with that money. If this is true, it would amount to embezzlement of public funds. I ask for clarification.

2. Push.

These days, articles related to Nexple’s social contribution activities are coming out. Public opinion was also positive. However, I see a lot of articles related to Yoo PD. Regarding this, various teams, including the Nexle talent management department, are hearing stories that Chairman Jin-Sung Yoo and PD Tae-Yeon Yoo have a relationship, so they are pushing for it.

In the field of field trips and external lectures, which are problematic, it has been quiet when many developers have been out so far, but I don’t know why it’s only noisy about PD Yoo Tae-yeon. I think this is an act of insulting and ignoring the other developers who have devoted themselves so far.

I ask for clarification on this.

3. Regarding concurrent positions.

Currently, PD Yoo Tae-yeon is working as a producer at Universe Studio and general manager of Nexple Plus development. I know why you suddenly became the general manager of Nexple Plus development. There is a lot of talk about Chairman Yoo Jin-seong’s favoritism and support for producer Yoo Tae-yeon.

Many developers dream of making their own game, and are working hard today, shedding bloody tears in front of a small monitor. If all of these things that producer Yoo Tae-yeon enjoys are due to some kind of relationship rather than her own efforts, I think I would be very disappointed in the industry and the company and frustrated with my poor situation.

For the sake of the bright future of the industry, I would like you to make sure to explain with reasons that everyone can understand.

“… … .”

This article caused a lot of controversy.

It was even being dealt with with great interest on famous Internet game sites.

‘Hiding in anonymity, I did this well… … .’

Anger rose up.

This kind of question was a problem that could be solved quietly without the need to bring it out.

If it was public opinion, there was only one intention, but the person who posted this article was confident about the questions he had organized.

And they must be hoping for the certain downfall of a person named Yoo Tae-yeon, who is suddenly rising.

My three questions are not all.

All the rumors that had been spreading in the comments were being sorted out. If even one of them is lost, it’s doomed. You have no choice but to give up everything you have.

‘Take only one, something like this.’

Suddenly, I looked around in a quiet atmosphere.

He didn’t show it, but the staff seemed to be paying attention to him. It was seen that the teamwork that had been established was about to collapse due to distrust and suspicion.

‘Now that it’s like this, I can’t stay still.’

evidence? I’ll show you as much as you want.

In times like these, it is worse than doing nothing.

It was a situation that required a strong attitude more than ever.

Before that, there was one thing I should point out.

Taeyeon posted on the Reed Forest app for the first time.

-This is Nepple Yoo Tae-yeon.

Below there, I saw an article in which the boss asked me to explain dozens of false rumors.

I’ll show you any rebuttal material if you’d like.

However, since you said you would carry your arms, please show your determination. Either reveal your identity and formally request an investigation, or if you don’t have the courage to do so, raise an agenda at least to the in-house Dispute Mediation Committee.

That way, I can sue for innocence and defamation right after the proof is over.

Take one or none?

I can’t accept it.

Why are these rumors only happening to me… … .

Actually, I have a guess, but I won’t say anything until the case is resolved.

Please, I beg you, don’t hide because you’re scared.

Don’t even delete the post. I’ve already gathered all the evidence. There’s not one eye watching anyway, so you can’t step back.

If there is no answer within today, I will move.

I’ll say it again, but I can’t afford to go overboard like this.

The reaction to Taeyeon’s post was very enthusiastic.

-It’s scary, isn’t it? I think this is probably a myth… … ?

-That’s right. If you’re determined to ruin others by publicizing an unconfirmed story, you should show that much determination. I’ve captured all the posts of the guys who have raised questions so far, so you can reveal your identity and request an investigation.

-I don’t know who popped the popcorn properly. Our side to win!

Naturally, Taeyeon couldn’t get any feedback from the person who posted it.

The next day, Taeyeon officially requested an investigation and started writing a rebuttal.
