Chapter 242
Finn let go of her arm. He heard the determination in Vanessa’s tone.
“Vanessa, I’ll wait for you. When you have time, come find me” Finn didn’t want to push Vanessa too hard. Too much pressure would only make things worse.
Vanessa’s eyes were a little red, and her voice was clear. “Okay, let’s talk about it later. The project is urgent right now. Don’t let anything else affect it in the short term.
“Okay, I get going now.”
Finn stayed where he was, his expression a little sad. Vanessa’s resolute departure reminded him of many years ago when Emma’s accident happened, and she also left with such determination.
“Boss, when is the meeting? The team is waiting for you.” The assistant on the side had been waiting for a long time, and he hesitated before stepping forward to ask.
Finn quickly pulled himself together and returned to work mode. “Ten minutes later. Send me everyone’s data summary first and share the revised plan we made earlier with everyone today.”
The assistant said, “But there are still some flaws in that plan, boss, and we didn’t give a specific budget. I don’t think it will work.”
“It’s fine. They are not attending today’s meeting. It’s only our department.” Finn had been frustrated with budget control recently,
The initial stage of a Triple–A Game project required a large amount of capital investment. Although the Snider Group had been investing heavily, some old sticklers from the Turner Group had different thoughts. Not only were they reluctant to invest, but they kept cutting the budget.
He had eavesdropped on Vanessa in a meeting before. If he had followed his own temperament, he would not have paid. attention to those old sticklers, let alone talk back to them.
They were a group of old folks who relied on their seniority to act like bullies in the company. If they didn’t own some shares, they would be of no help to the company.
He had told Vanessa not to get involved at that time, but Vanessa was stubborn sometimes and must see things through. Ash put her in charge, so she had to see it through to the end.
The assistant added, “But boss, we didn’t report this budget in advance. If it’s finalized, will they blame us for not warning. them in advance? Will there be punishment then?”
Finn frowned slightly. “I will take full responsibility for all the consequences. The meeting will start in ten minutes.”
Ash also entered, pushing the door open at the last second of the countdown before the meeting started. “Why has this character changed again? I suggest this character’s weapon should still be the violin, as it fits her persona.”
Ash had attended several meetings but had more important things to do later, so she didn’t continue to follow up.
She finally had time today, so she came.
“The violin can be larger to create a more striking contrast.” Ash sat in the farthest corner and suggested, “The previous weapon was good, but changing it to a sword makes it less unique.”
The person who suggested changing the weapon had a different opinion. “However, if we change it to a sword, the

character’s animation will be easier to make. If it’s a violin, there may be frame drops in post–production”

Ash retorted, “So, can I assume that you chose to change it to a sword just to save time and trouble? Frame dropping is such a common issue. Why would you find it troublesome?”
Suddenly, the other person fell silent.
Ash said sternly, “I know this project is more difficult and stressful than any other one in the company, but you can’t start cutting corners just because you don’t want to face these challenges.
“Every one of you here earns a higher salary than people in any other project department in the company. Since you are getting paid well, I expect you to be worthy of it.”
Finn’s expression also turned a bit unpleasant. “When did you report the weapon change? The initial draft has been finalized, so no more changes unless there are special circumstances.”
“Yes, Mr. Meyers. It won’t happen again. It’s just that I saw more people on the internet seem to prefer swords.” Although he said it wouldn’t happen again, he was still making excuses.
Finn shot a cold glance. “Most people on the internet? Where did you get the specific data? Is it reliable? Have you done any statistics?”
The man tried to explain, “I, I…
Ash remembered the person who was arguing. He was the lead artist’s assistant. He had skills, but he just liked to add his own ideas too much, and he was too whimsical.
She tapped on the desk lightly. “We don’t need to pursue this matter for now. The design of this sword is quite ingenious. If there are new characters later, we can try to match it.”
“Okay, Ms. Turner.” The man, scolded by Finn in a cold voice, was immediately defeated a lot. “It was my fault for modifying this weapon. I’m sorry.”
Ash waved her hand. “It’s okay. Take a seat. If there are any detailed changes later, you can report to Mr. Meyers in time. This Triple–A Game is very important to Funtime Games, so every detail must be strictly checked.
“I know you have been working very hard recently. After this stage, you will have a week of paid leave to refresh yourself.” Ash was quite considerate of her subordinates.
When everyone heard that, their eyes lit up, and someone said, “Thank you, Ms. Turner!”
“But the feedback we have received so far is not too good. Many people have indicated below the official website that we are just on a whim and will give up later.”
The assistant raised his hand to indicate the recent situation. “And it may be that our competitors hired trolls. Now, all is negative feedback. Should we also hire some supporters?”
Finn rested his chin in one hand and thought seriously for a while. “Not for now. Our product is still in its infancy. It’s pointless to waste money here.
