Chapter 43
After only ten minutes, a huge group of people came into the store, one after another. Wen Lingwei was the first to arrive, and her eyes set on Su Jinyu, who was sitting at the bar table.
“The new receptionist?” Wen Lingwei said as she leaned on the bar table.
Su Jinyu nodded, “Yup, I’m Su Jinyu, nice to meet you.”
Wen Lingwei said, “Wen Lingwei. Don’t worry, I’ll protect you. If the boss bullies you, tell me and I’ll sort it out with him.”
The others behind Wen Lingwei also took the opportunity to cop a look of Su Jinyu as they swiped their ID’s.
It really was a cute girl!

As the afternoon came, Chen Mo sent the design document to Su Jinyu.
“I sent you the whole design document folder; just refine these two design documents and send it to me when you’re done.
“This is the design document for the upcoming update for Plants vs Zombies. The main point of it is to allow players to better communicate with one another in game and allow them to meet other Plants vs Zombies fans in the community.
“I’ve already finished the basics of multiplayer, so read through it and refine it a bit.
“I don’t have any requests for the design document, so just do it your way, with emphasis on ‘your way’. Try to make changes and not stick to my design too much. I’ll need a first draft in three days, is that alright?”
Su Jinyu nodded confidently, “Alright, not a problem!”
Chen Mo thought about giving her a few more words of advice, but after considering that it might restrict her train of thought, he decided against it.
Different people often had different views on game design. Restricting someone’s thoughts might result in a botched result.
As for Chen Mo, he needed to finish the developer tools for Plants vs Zombies, allowing players to make their own mods.
As his workload had been cut in half all of a sudden, he wasn’t quite used to it.

Three days later, Su Jinyu sent her first draft of the design document to Chen Mo.
“Mm… not bad.”
As Chen Mo looked through the design document Su Jinyu submitted, he didn’t seem all that happy, despite saying it was alright.
At the same time, Su Jinyu nervously twiddled her thumbs.
Although she had written design documents before, it was for very simple mini-games. It wasn’t surprising that she was nervous, as this was a design document for Plants vs Zombies.
Even since Plants vs Zombies had risen to the top of the casual puzzle game charts, it had gathered a large user base. Su Jinyu wouldn’t be able to live it down if the players weren’t happy about the changes she made.
It didn’t take long for Chen Mo to look through her design document.
“The logic is very clear and all the details have been covered. There aren’t any major mistakes, either. You have quite a good grasp on the basics,” said Chen Mo.
Su Jinyu blinked and said, “Tha-thank you.”
“But, you’ll need to rewrite it.” Chen Mo smiled.
“Huh?” Su Jinyu was dumbfounded. -The logic and the details were fine, why do I need to rewrite it?- “What even!”
