When he heard the number "5,000 yuan", Meng Chang's eyes that were like a pool of stagnant water rippled again.
"Huh? Five thousand yuan? "
"Didn't you say that the base salary was 4,000 yuan? If I persist for two weeks, there would be a minimum commission of 2,000 yuan?"
"Now that I don't have a minimum commission, could it be that I'm working too hard so I added an extra 1,000 yuan as encouragement?"
Meng Chang suddenly felt a little touched.
It might not be a lot of money but it was quite heartwarming.
Pei Qian was stunned. "Huh? Did you only increase the base salary by a thousand yuan previously? "
"I'm sorry, I remembered wrongly. I always thought that it was 2,000 yuan."
"Then we still have to follow the agreement …"
Meng Chang: "…"
The light in his eyes quickly dimmed, replaced by an expression of confusion, confusion, and disbelief.
How infuriating!
Even if you remembered wrongly, shouldn't you just make the best of the mistake and give me an extra 1,000 yuan?
How could he take back the words that he had spoken?
You must be doing this on purpose to anger me!
Meng Chang remained silent for a moment. "Boss Pei, I quit! I want to terminate the agreement! "
Pei Qian quickly stood up. "Don't be rash! Let's talk things over. Don't break up just because of a disagreement. "
"How about this? I'll pay you a thousand yuan from my own pocket since you're really working hard! What do you think? "
Pei Qian panicked a little when he heard Meng Chang say that he did not want to work anymore.
Don't quit. Where can I find a talent like you in publicity if you quit?
I don't trust people from the outside world!
It was only because Meng Chang was carrying a huge debt that Pei Qian could casually manipulate him and use this method to stimulate him to seriously do reverse publicity for himself.
Meng Chang might not have had any successful publicity cases so far but he had a huge advantage. He would not be corrupted by the Tengda spirit.
If it were another person, he might be completely enlightened very quickly. The entire advertising and marketing department would quickly fall and become the same as the other departments. It would be useless apart from earning money and hurting Boss Pei's heart.
Therefore, Meng Chang could not leave!
The advertising and marketing department would not be complete without Meng Chang!
Pei Qian had put in a lot of effort to keep Meng Chang. The system wouldn't report the extra 1,000 yuan, so he could only pay it out of his own pocket.
Fortunately, although Boss Pei did not incur much losses and did not convert much Personal Wealth, he still saved up a sum of money by freeloading in the company.
His personal wealth had also exceeded three million yuan.
He could easily take out a thousand yuan.
It wasn't a lot of money, but he was a little reluctant to pay it out. However, for the sake of long-term benefits and to keep Meng Chang, he could not save money.
Meng Chang's face turned green. "Boss Pei, I've already made up my mind. It's useless to say anything else!"
Because of the 1,000 yuan, Meng Chang had completely exploded.
Look at what Boss Pei is saying!
You even paid a thousand yuan out of your own pocket?
There were too many things to complain about. He didn't even know where to start!
The entire Tengda is yours. Didn't you allocate hundreds of thousands or millions of yuan of publicity funds to the advertising department? Can't you spend it however you want?
Wouldn't a few copper coins from the publicity budget be enough to cover my salary and commission for a long time to come? Do you need to pay for it out of your own pocket?
What's more, even if you're asking for it yourself, why does it seem like a thousand yuan makes you feel conflicted?
The entire Tengda is your private property. Putting aside the cash flow, you've already bought a few buildings. You're probably worth billions. It wouldn't be difficult to take out ten million yuan on the spot, much less a thousand yuan!
Yet, you seemed to have made up your mind to take out a thousand yuan?
Pretend, continue pretending!
If the Oscars don't give you an Oscar, I'll be the first to disagree!
After such a long period of torture, Meng Chang's perception of money had deteriorated severely.
Or rather, had it become sharper?
In the past, he had squandered investors' money without batting an eyelid even if it was hundreds of thousands or millions of yuan.
However, for some reason, he had been conflicted for so long over the base salary of a few thousand yuan.
He suddenly realized that this was not the life he should have.
I'm done. I'm not going to suffer such grievances anymore!
Meng Chang looked determined.
No matter how glib your tongue is, I will never be fooled by you again!
Pei Qian saw Meng Chang's expression and felt that something was amiss.
Why is the only person in the entire Tengda Corporation who is of one mind with me leaving?
"Come, have a cup of tea to calm down. Don't be rash."
"Think about it again. There's still a long time in the future."
"We signed a ten-year agreement. It's only been less than half a year. How far has it been?"
Meng Chang had wanted to take a sip of his teacup, but he immediately put it down when he heard that.
"All the more reason for me to leave!"
Pei Qian: "…"
Alright, he misunderstood again.
Pei Qian quickly explained, "What I mean is that after our hard work, your publicity plan is getting closer and closer to success."
"Who knows, you might be able to get a full commission in a few months?"
"It's just a bad start. You're just getting a base salary for a few months. It's too unwise to give up on the high commission for the next ten years just because of this setback!"
Pei Qian tried to reason with him, hoping to make Meng Chang give up on the idea of running away.
However, Meng Chang smiled politely with a chuckle on his face.
That meant that he had been lying to him for so many months. Did he really intend to lie to him for ten years?
Meng Chang was still very confident in himself even though he was a person who had broken his promise and it was indeed difficult for him to find a job. Even if he failed to start a business, how difficult would it be for him to earn thirty to fifty thousand yuan a month?
In Tengda, he would be able to get a commission of two hundred thousand yuan a month under the ideal situation. The speed at which he would repay his debts would be greatly increased, but this money was like a carrot in front of a donkey. He could only look at it but not eat it. What was the use if he could not get it?
What's more, he would continue to accumulate when he worked outside. He might not earn much at the beginning, but he might earn more in the future. There would still be hope of paying off the money in advance.
Thus, Meng Chang made up his mind to leave.
No matter how glib Boss Pei was, he would never be fooled again!
Pei Qian felt a little helpless as well. It looked like Meng Chang was determined to leave.
At that moment, he felt a little regretful. When he signed the agreement, the liability for breach of contract should have been heavier …
The agreement signed back then did not specify the liability for breach of contract too strictly. It only stipulated that the breaching party had to pay a certain percentage of the original debt as liquidated damages.
The liability for breach of contract for three years was the lightest, and the liability for breach of contract for ten years was the heaviest. However, the heaviest liquidated damages were only 30% of the original debt.
Of course, Meng Chang owed a few million yuan. The liquidated damages would be more than a million yuan.
However, Meng Chang was obviously in a state where he did not feel the itch anymore. He had to repay a debt of a few million yuan. So what if it was a mere one million yuan?
However, there was nothing he could do. That was because Pei Qian did not dare to set the liquidated damages too high when he made this agreement, afraid that he would scare Meng Chang away.
If Pei Qian had set the liquidated damages to be ten times the debt, tens of millions of yuan, Meng Chang would definitely have felt that there was a huge conspiracy behind it and would not have signed this agreement at all.
It was precisely because the liquidated damages were not that much that Meng Chang took the bait.
Thus, it was useless to regret now.
Pei Qian sipped his tea silently and continued to think of a new excuse.
"Meng Chang, I think we all need to calm down and weigh the pros and cons."
"If you work here, I'll waive all the interest on your debt. That's a benefit for you as an employee of Tengda. If you work for another company, I definitely won't have any reason to waive the interest, right? "
"I won't calculate too much. I'd be bullying you if I were to use the highest interest rate on private loans. However, even if it were a normal bank loan, you would have to pay back a few million yuan for ten or twenty years. How much would the interest be? "
"Are you sure you want to leave Tengda?"
Pei Qian did not know how much the money was exactly, but anyone who took a loan to buy a house knew that the interest rate of a bank loan was not high, but once the time was extended to ten or twenty years, it would be a terrifying number.
It was not an exaggeration to say that he would have to pay back two to three million yuan in interest for a loan of five million yuan.
If the soft approach did not work, he could only use the hard approach. Since Meng Chang insisted on leaving, Pei Qian did not mind being the bad guy.
Meng Chang: "…"
He did not expect Boss Pei to have such a move. It was too despicable!
At first, he had only considered the liquidated damages. He felt that he could grit his teeth and bear with more than a million yuan.
However, he would not be able to tolerate it if he added the interest!
The debt would almost double if he calculated it like that. The difficulty of working to repay the debt would increase drastically. It would almost become an impossible task.
Meng Chang slumped on the sofa, feeling helpless.
"Boss Pei, you'll only be happy if you see me die, right?"
"I understand now. This was a trap from the beginning. You wanted me to work for you for the rest of my life!"
"Didn't I just want to cheat investors of some money in the beginning? There are many entrepreneurs who cheat money. Why are you the only one who caught me and tormented me …"
Meng Chang stopped pretending. He looked like he was going to give up.
Pei Qian took a look and realized that something was amiss.
Don't give up on yourself!
He quickly cleared his throat. "You've misunderstood. I have no intention of scamming you. I'm sincerely doing it for your own good. I want you to pay off your debt as soon as possible!"
Meng Chang chuckled. "Boss Pei, do you believe what you said? If not for you causing trouble, I would have gotten a high commission long ago! "
Pei Qian: "?"
How can I be the scapegoat for this?
Haven't I been helping you all this time?
It was like a dog biting Lu Dongbin!
Pei Qian said, "Alright, I won't argue with you the previous few times. How can you blame me for the publicity plan for the inspiration class this time?"
"Does it have anything to do with me?"
Meng Chang opened his mouth, speechless.
It seemed like … it really had nothing to do with Boss Pei.
He thought about the publicity plan for the inspiration class carefully. The reason why it had such a good publicity effect was mainly because many coincidences had overlapped and produced an inexplicable chemical reaction.
Teacher Qiao and Yu Fei's wrong words were one thing, and the netizens' wrong imagination was another.
They deduced the correct conclusion through the wrong known conditions.
Boss Pei was indeed not to blame during this process because Boss Pei could not manipulate the netizens.
If Boss Pei leaked the news of the copyright development of the inspiration class himself or hinted to other officials, they would definitely be able to find some clues on the internet. On the other hand, Boss Pei had released the news anonymously and did not have much credibility. The netizens would definitely not buy it.
The current situation would only occur if the netizens spontaneously deduced and believed all of this.
In other words, it was indeed not appropriate to blame Boss Pei.
Not to mention the previous few times, Boss Pei was indeed not to blame this time.
The corners of Meng Chang's mouth twitched slightly. "All the more reason for me to leave! If you did not obstruct me and supported me with all your might but still failed in the end, it would mean that the difficulty of this matter has far exceeded my imagination. The chances of success are very slim. "
"Then, why should I persist?"
Pei Qian: "…"
Meng Chang was still a logic expert. He was not easy to fool.
However, it did not matter. He had to increase his efforts.
He even had to personally prove it to him.
Pei Qian thought for a moment and continued, "In my opinion, why don't we do this?"
"Next month, I'll personally come up with a publicity plan for you. You'll follow my publicity plan."
"I can't guarantee that I'll maintain it for the entire month, but two weeks should be fine."
"If my plan fails as well, we'll discuss the matter of disbanding."
"If my plan succeeds and lasts for two weeks and helps you obtain a guaranteed commission, that means that there's a problem with your publicity plan. Don't mention disbanding in the future. Settle down and think about how to publicize it in the future."
"What do you think?"
Meng Chang blinked. He did not expect Boss Pei to make such a suggestion.
The current situation was equivalent to Meng Chang complaining that this job was too difficult and that he should do it if he could.
In the end, Boss Pei said, "I'll do it, I'll do it. Watch and learn well. I'll prove that it's not that the job is difficult, it's that you're too lousy."
At first, Meng Chang did not want to stay. However, after hearing Boss Pei's words, he felt that he could stay for another month to see how Boss Pei operated.
If Boss Pei could really complete the reverse publicity, he might really be able to prove that there was a problem with his previous publicity method?
At that time, he could learn from Boss Pei's publicity ideas and continue to pursue the commission of up to 200,000 yuan.
All in all, it would not be a loss to stay for another month to see how Boss Pei operated.
At that thought, Meng Chang nodded. "Alright, I'll stay for another month. If you can really get a guaranteed commission next month, and I'm convinced, then I'll continue to work. "
"However, I have a request."
"Next month, I'll be in charge of the publicity project, is that okay?"
Pei Qian could not help but be surprised.
Yo, you've learned how to turn the tables just like that?
Previously, Pei Qian had been the one to designate publicity projects for Meng Chang. Meng Chang had chosen one of the upcoming projects, but he had chosen the wrong answer every time.
Now, did Meng Chang want to be a question maker?
Pei Qian nodded. "No problem."
A true warrior dared to face challenges head-on.
To Pei Qian, all of Tengda's projects were decided by him. The person-in-charge of all the industries was appointed by him. He was confident that he could think of a suitable reverse publicity plan for any project.
It should not be a problem to last for two weeks even though the final outcome would most likely be failure.
He had to think of a way to make Meng Chang stay!
