You said you would make games by yourself, but how did you become the richest man by doing nothing?

Lu Yu planned to expand the company, dividing it into three groups.

One group would manage 'Island Owner Life,' another would maintain 'Neko Paradise,' and the last would develop a new urban-themed project to complete system tasks.

Oh right, he also had a special quest to inflict 50 critical hits on a lucky employee within the company.

He needed to keep an eye out for this lucky individual during the recruitment process.

With these thoughts in mind, Lu Yu called over Sister Li and conveyed his recruitment targets.

The operations team for 'My Leisurely Island Owner Life' needed 8 people: two each for planning, programming, art, and business operations.

The operations team for 'Neko Paradise Adventure' needed 3 people, mainly for simple version maintenance and business cooperation.

Another 10 people were needed to form a new team to develop the urban-themed project.

This would bring the company's total headcount to 26.

The reason for this number wasn't due to any special consideration by Lu Yu, but simply because the manor currently only had 30 workstations.

Lu Yu figured these people should be enough, and in the future, he would rely on these employees to earn Leisure Points for himself, forming a new cycle of point acquisition.

He absolutely couldn't afford to create another hit game; otherwise, the company's scale would visibly expand.

Spreading the business out too much would be distracting, and too much success would lead to a large number of busy employees, drastically deducting Leisure Points.

To prevent the company from giving birth to new 'grind kings' and blockbusters by any means possible, he had to consider it from the level of underlying system design.

Lu Yu pondered for a moment in his seat, then said to Li Hongmei:

"Sister Li, as you know, the company's welfare system will be an important means of retaining talent during recruitment, so I'll explain the two core aspects of our company's current welfare system."

With that, he tapped away at the keyboard, and two words appeared on the screen:

[543 Work System], [Reduced Efficiency, Increased Costs]

Li Hongmei tilted her head and thought for a moment, tentatively saying based on her past experience:

"Lu, regarding the 543 work system, do you mean working from 5 AM to 4 PM, with 3 days of overtime per week?

I personally think the working hours are too early; you know, modern urban white-collar workers tend to wake up quite late."

Lu Yu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head frantically.

Goodness, what kind of sweatshop is that?

He explained:

"The so-called 543 work system refers to: working 5 hours a day, 4 days a week, with 3 months of paid annual leave."

"Ah?"

Li Hongmei was dumbfounded.

Based on her worldview, she couldn't understand Lu Yu's words and was momentarily stunned.

Lu Yu didn't see Li Hongmei's expression and continued to explain:

"Work 5 hours a day, from 10 AM to 12 PM in the morning, a 2-hour lunch break, and from 2 PM to 5 PM in the afternoon.

Only work 4 days a week, starting the weekend from Friday.

The 3 months of paid annual leave per year do not conflict with statutory holidays. Of course, some employees are very reclusive and don't want to travel, so if they don't use all their annual leave, the remaining unused annual leave time will be converted into full attendance wages and paid to the employees at the end of the year."

"T-t-t-this is too exaggerated?"

Li Hongmei stammered. She had been working in human resources for over a decade and understood the attendance systems of various industries, but she had never seen a boss who was so unrestrained.

She subconsciously sniffed the air for the smell of alcohol; she suspected that this CEO was bragging after drinking.

But clearly, Lu seemed very sober.

"Exaggerated?" Lu Yu asked rhetorically.

If it weren't for the system warning, he would have made it even more exaggerated.

This set of welfare systems was what he had come up with after constantly testing the limits of the system's warnings.

For example, why three months of paid annual leave? Because he had been constantly trying, and the maximum value that the system could currently tolerate him setting was three months.

"Then... what do you mean by reduced efficiency and increased costs?"

Lu Yu recited fluently:

"Of course, it refers to reducing work efficiency and increasing employee benefits.

This system requires the company to ensure that employees' workload is not saturated, maintaining a healthy level of work saturation below 70% every day.

This requires monitoring the work status of all employees every day. Once it appears that they can barely complete their work close to the end of the work day, the company needs to intervene immediately, either by extending the work period or by introducing other idle employees to provide support.

In short, the core concept of reducing efficiency and increasing costs is that if two people can do one person's job, never let one person do two people's jobs."

Li Hongmei was already stunned in place:

"Forgive me for speaking frankly, but I don't understand.

Working 5 hours a day is already easy enough; do you want to continue to reduce the workload within these 5 hours?

Moreover, isn't there a lunch break?"

Lu Yu patiently explained:

"Sister Li, I believe you can completely understand.

Besides, even if the workload is not saturated, isn't a lunch break a matter of course?"

Li Hongmei struggled for a moment and decided to give up.

She felt that the common sense of human resources management she had mastered could not shake Lu Yu's ideas.

What's more, as a worker, it's something to be sought after if the company's benefits are good.

The only thing to worry about is whether the company will go bankrupt because the benefits are too good and the work is too easy...

"Oh, right, Lu, I wanted to discuss the performance appraisal system with you."

Lu Yu took the performance appraisal assessment scale made by Li Hongmei, which was basically a more mature and mainstream evaluation system in the game industry, namely Key Performance Indicators (KPIs).

He glanced at it casually and then waved his hand.

"Regarding this, Sister Li, you don't have to worry about it for now; I have my own standards."

Li Hongmei was dumbfounded again. The evaluation forms she submitted were internationally recognized corporate management standards, used even by the world's top 500 companies. What strange system did you create, Lu?

Lu Yu smiled without saying a word. Of course, he had his own assessment standards, which were performance appraisals based on the ability to earn Leisure Points.

The more employees who know how to enjoy life and crazily show off their points, the more precious they are in his eyes.

"In short, Sister Li, just follow these systems I've told you to implement.

Be sure to remember that the 543 work system and reduced efficiency and increased costs are the cornerstones of the entire Peach Blossom Spring Company, and no one can shake them!"

Sister Li walked back with the report, feeling shocked, gratified, and fortunate at the same time about this overly fantastic welfare system.

The boss she met was different from any leader she had met before.

But she didn't hate following such a boss.

As she walked, she suddenly remembered something and turned back again, hesitatingly saying:

"Lu, I also have a personal matter I'd like to discuss with you.

As you know, the Frostwolf Studio of Youyi Company previously laid off a batch of employees, many of whom were fresh graduates or young people who had just graduated for a year or two. They are having a hard time finding jobs outside now, and if they can't find a job, many of them will have to return to their hometowns.

So, I would like to ask you to give a few of them an interview opportunity.

Of course, I will also screen some resumes from outside society, and everyone will compete fairly."

Lu Yu casually asked, "What was the reason they were fired?"

"Their performance appraisal was at the bottom, and the dismissal comments were that they were not proactive in their work and were passively slacking off, but..."

Lu Yu's eyes lit up, and he directly interrupted Li Hongmei's continued explanation.

"Alright, alright, let them come for an interview."

Not being proactive in work is human nature; it's normal.

Not being proactive in eating is a problem with one's thinking!
