Chapter 1502: I Can’t Understand, But I’m Shocked!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Of course, Pei Qian only said that. His actual goal would be more complicated.
Limiting the number of applicants based on companies was mainly to prevent some company bosses from forcefully stuffing a large number of employees into Suffering Travels with the funds of paid travel.
In that case, wouldn’t Suffering Travels still be making money?
Pei Qian still hoped that he could spend more money on Suffering Travels. The fewer customers outside, the better.
After this measure was implemented, many bosses would have to arrange their employees in batches. Once the time was staggered, it would be more troublesome to arrange it. Some bosses might change to other cohesion methods.
As for disrupting and disa.s.sembling Tengda’s employees into various teams and not gathering them together, it was also to minimize the way other customers could obtain connections through Suffering Travels.
If he partic.i.p.ated in a torturous trip and could get to know several people in charge of Tengda’s core department, it would indeed be profitable from the perspective of obtaining connections.
However, if he were to partic.i.p.ate in a torturous trip, he would only be able to meet one or two people in charge of Tengda. What’s more, it might not be the department he was looking forward to. From the perspective of obtaining connections, the price-quality ratio of this matter would be relatively low.
‘What’s more, it could indeed improve the effect of suffering. It would prevent the people in charge from registering for warmth and not achieve the best suffering effect.
Bao Xu thought about it and felt that it made sense. He immediately nodded. “Alright, Boss Pei. I’ll update the rules now. The registration will be effective next time.”
Pei Qian was very satisfied. He could leave without any worries seeing that everything was normal on Suffering Travels.
However, a few more taxis stopped at the door just as he was about to get into the car.
Zhou Muyan alighted from the first car and said happily, “Eh? Boss Pei! What a coincidence. I was going to look for you at Tengda headquarters after I sent them over. I didn’t expect to meet you here!”
“Why, are you here to inspect the new suffering trip?”
Pei Qian was a little surprised. “…I guess so. What are you doing?”
He looked at the people getting out of the other taxis. Min Jingchao was among them. He immediately understood.
He understood now. Sun Strike Studios’ Bullet Hole 2 production team had arrived!
Previously, Zhou Muyan had already said that as long as Bullet Hole 2 succeeded, he would arrange for the entire project team of Bullet Hole 2 to suffer. Now that Bullet Hole 2 had become popular, he had to fulfill his promise.
Zhou Muyan thought about it and took this opportunity to make a trip to Jingzhou to thank Boss Pei in person
How could Bullet Hole 2 have achieved success if not for Boss Pei’s wise and creative ideas?
The reason why this money tree could grow was all because of Boss Pei!
However, other than thanking him in person, Zhou Muyan could not think of a better way to thank him.
‘They gave Tengda a share of the profits, and the designer’s bonus to Boss Pei.
‘The former was a tangible economic benefit, the latter was care and psychological comfort. Considering Boss Pei’s current ident.i.ty, status, and ideals, Zhou Muyan indeed had nothing to thank Boss Pei for.
He could only silently remember Boss Pei’s kindness in his heart.
Pei Qian did not know what Zhou Muyan was thinking. After exchanging a few pleasantries with him, he looked at Min Jingchao with sympathy.
Min Jingchao had come with Sun Xi and the others. However, perhaps because they were coming in batches, the Bullet Hole 2 project team was not yet complete.
At that moment, Min Jingchao was staring at Boss Pei, as if he was waiting for a miracle to happen. He was hoping that Boss Pei would save him.
Pei Qian could only give him a sympathetic look.
Pei Qian really wanted to save Min Jingchao for his own selfish reasons.
After all, Min Jingchao had created Bullet Hole 2. He might have earned a lot of money for Tengda but he had also earned a lot of extra money for Pei Qian.
Ahero like that should not suffer.
However, he could not do that for selfish reasons!
Suffering travel had an iron system and discipline. Once this gap was opened, there would be endless trouble.
It was just like when Lu Mingliang was the chief designer. Pei Qian was very satisfied with him. However, since he had voted for him to become the best employee, Pei Qian could only bid him farewell with tears and let him go to Upwind Logistics.
Of course, Lu Mingliang had gone to Upwind Logistics to continue working hard for Boss Pei’s loss-making projects. That was another legend.
Given the current situation, Pei Qian could only watch Min Jingchao silently. The Suffering Travels was a little bitter, but it was not easy to lend a helping hand. He could only think of other ways to compensate him after he returned from the Suffering Travels.
Min Jingchao looked at Boss Pei helplessly. In the end, he only received a comforting look. In the end, he still had to suffer.
He was in despair, but he could only accept it.
His a.s.sistant, Sun Xi, was completely listless. He did not dare to say anything.
Sun Xi was the timidest now. He was afraid that if he were to accidentally let others know that he was the one who suggested Suffering Travels, something terrible would happen during the Suffering Travels.
‘Min Jingchao and Sun Xi were brothers in hards.h.i.+p. However, Min Jingchao had helped a lot during this process. Thus, both of them consciously kept secrets. No one dared to mention this.
Zhou Muyan left with Boss Pei after watching these people report.
Min Jingchao saw some familiar faces, such as the person-in-charge of other departments like Tian Mo, especially Chen Kangtuo.
Strictly speaking, the group of people who were the most familiar with Min Jingchao had already suffered. Those who were suffering now had already joined Tengda after Min Jingchao. Only Chen Kangtuo was considered to be in the same period.
Chen Kangtuo entered the company slightly earlier than Min Jingchao.
Min Jingchao immediately looked like he had a straw to clutch at. He leaned over and said softly, “What should we do? I heard that Suffering Travels is very scary. I’m a little fl.u.s.tered! In the group of people in charge, these people would cry before every Suffering Travels. They seemed to be suffering
tortures during Suffering Travels. However, after Suffering Travels, they would unify and say that it’s very meaningful…”
“F*ck, I’m so weak now. It’s too scary!”
It would be alright if these people always said that Suffering Travels was terrifying.
However, when they returned, they spared no effort in trying to bluff others into entering. That was very scary!
Unexpectedly, Chen Kangtuo patted his chest confidently. “Don’t worry, I’ll cover you, everything will be fine!”
Min Jingchao was a little surprised. “You can protect me? Let me tell you, we were both the ones who invested in Brother Bao to travel. We are the ones who Brother Bao wants to bear a grudge against.”
Chen Kangtuo sn.i.g.g.e.red. “That’s true, but I have a way to get rid of Brother Bao. Only magic can defeat magic. I’ve already obtained the power from Boss Pei. I’m now on the same level as Brother Bao!”
Min Jingchao looked shocked and pleasantly surprised. He might not be sure but his desire to survive gradually prevailed.
“Really? What do you plan to do?” Min Jingchao asked.
Chen Kangtuo smiled. “You watch. I’ll talk to Brother Bao in private to ensure that both of us are safe and sound. I’m definitely the one who suffered the least in this team.”
Min Jingchao instinctively felt that it was not reliable. However, seeing Chen Kangtuo’s confident expression, he thought that what if it was true?
Everyone was chatting and immersing themselves in the fear of the upcoming Suffering Travels since not everyone had arrived yet.
Chen Kangtuo found an opportunity and came to Bao Xu.
“Brother Bao, this Suffering Travels… On account of our past relations.h.i.+p, please let us off and let Min Jingchao and I suffer less.”
“Look, we are all in charge of very important business. If we are exhausted, wouldn’t that delay Boss Pei’s matters?”
Chen Kangtuo decided to be courteous before resorting to force.
Bao Xu raised his eyebrows. “How can that do? Boss Pei handed the Suffering Travels to me. I’ll naturally carry out the law and do business as usual. I really want to help you but wouldn’t that be letting Boss Pei down?”
Chen Kangtuo sn.i.g.g.e.red inwardly.
This Bao Xu was obviously taking revenge!
He did not have much expectations at first because the other people in charge might have already tried this method.
Alright, since the soft approach was useless, he could only use the hard approach.
Chen Kangtuo cleared his throat. “Brother Bao, to be honest, I’ve already obtained permission from Boss Pei. In the future, Thriller Hostel will also take on the responsibility of suffering and traveling. It will allow internal employees to hone their spirit and arrange for special training regularly.”
“Brother Bao, as the saying goes, it’s convenient for others, but convenient for yourself. Now, show mercy. The haunted house tour at Thriller Hostel in the future will definitely have nothing to do with you.”
“However, if you want to do things fairly, I can only follow the rules…”
Bao Xu raised his eyebrows. “Eh? Are you threatening me? Don’t worry, I’ll take special care of Min Jingchao and you! Boss Pei said that as the person-in-charge of Tengda, you have to be an example to others!”
Chen Kangtuo was shocked. “You… Aren’t you afraid…”
Bao Xu sn.i.g.g.e.red. “Why, do you think a haunted house can scare me? When we were building Thriller Hostel, I, Li Yada, Lin Wan, Hao Qiong, and the others went to inspect the large-scale haunted houses, such as Wushan State Mental Hospital.”
“Weren’t you there as well? Have you forgotten?”
Chen Kangtuo was stunned. He had indeed forgotten about that.
Now that he thought about it, it was true! There were four men and two women when he went to inspect the place. He lived in the same room as Hao Qiong, so he subconsciously ignored Bao Xu.
Bao Xu had been tested by the haunted house before!
However, Chen Kangtuo quickly recalled. “Heh, if that’s the case, Brother Bao, you should still remember how you were pale and had leg cramps in the haunted house, right? Are you sure you dare to experience Thriller Hostel again?”
Bao Xu sn.i.g.g.e.red. “I’m already immune to Thriller Hostel. I’ll be able to adapt soon. You’re using this to scare me. You’re making a mistake.”
Chen Kangtuo expressed his dissatisfaction. “Boss Pei gave me authority to prepare a new project for Thriller Hostel! Aren’t you afraid that I’ll build a new haunted house?”
Bao Xu sn.i.g.g.e.red. “If you’re not convinced, try it? Let’s see if you can’t take it first or if I can’t take it first. Let me tell you, don’t think about bargaining with me!”
“Min Jingchao and you have to do extra training!”
Chen Kangtuo: “What the f*ck…”
Bao Xu gave Sa Ziran a look. “Everyone’s not here yet. Let’s do a prelude first to show the others! Tengda employees, set the example!”
Chen Kangtuo was shocked. “Ai, Brother Bao, we can discuss, we can discuss…”
Bao Xu said seriously, “Get ready!”
Min Jingchao, who was watching carefully not far away, suddenly felt a chill on his back.
“Why do I feel like I’ve seen this script before…”
Chen Kangtuo was dragged by two burly men to change his training uniform. He said loudly, “Bao Xu, wait. I’ll be the first to arrange for you after the new project of Thriller Hostel is completed!”
Everyone from Sun Strike Studios exchanged glances, feeling that this was extremely ridiculous.
Was this the world of those with strength in Tengda?
They did not understand, but they were really shocked!
