December 12th, Wednesday …
Guangzhou, Sun Strike Studios.
Min Jingchao was busy with his work and did not notice that Sun Xi had already pulled a chair over to sit beside him.
"Brother Chao, I heard that the Suffering Tour is opening for reservations today. Are you sure everything has been arranged?"
Sun Xi's face was filled with trepidation.
He was panicking!
Previously, Zhou Muyan had already said that he was going to arrange a Suffering Tour for everyone in the project team. Sun Xi could not help but watch Teacher Qiao's live-stream for a few more days and his heart grew colder.
This was only the first month of training, and it was already so miserable. Next month would be the real suffering. What kind of scene would that be?
However, things took a turn for the better two days ago. Min Jingchao said that he had already resolved the problem and asked Sun Xi to wait and see.
Since Min Jingchao did not reveal how he had resolved it, Sun Xi could not help but feel worried.
Min Jingchao could not help but want to laugh at Sun Xi's flustered expression.
Who was the one who said that he was envious of Tengda's employees going on a Suffering Tour?
Humans were all like that – watching a thief eat meat but not seeing the thief get beaten up.
Only when it was his turn would he regret it.
But thankfully, he was here!
Min Jingchao patted his chest. "Don't worry, I've already taken care of both sides!"
"I've also tried to sound out Boss Zhou and set a price that he would most likely give up on."
"It would be fine if it was just one or two people. But with the current price, Boss Zhou would definitely not bear to give up on the entire project team. Don't worry!"
Sun Xi smiled. "Is that so? I'll wait and see then! "
After relaxing for a moment, Sun Xi returned to his desk and continued working.
After more than an hour, Sun Xi came back.
However, this time around, his face was no longer filled with trepidation. Instead, it was filled with excitement.
"Brother Chao, you're amazing!"
"The Suffering Tour made an announcement earlier on, announcing that the reservations are starting at 50,000 per person!"
"Boss Zhou would definitely not bear to give away the entire project team at that price! That's great!"
Min Jingchao could not help but smile. "Fufu, it's a small matter. It's all within my plans."
Even though he looked calm on the surface, he was secretly praising himself in his heart.
So what if it was Bao Xu? In the end, he was still swayed by a few words of mine!
Min Jingchao temporarily put down the work at hand and opened the official website of Suffering Travel to check the announcement.
"Oh, a lot of benefits have been added. Looks like it's linked with other departments."
"That's to be expected. After all, if you want to raise the price, there must be additional value."
"Tsk … You don't say, it's quite attractive, but it's not a big deal. These benefits are very tempting to an individual, but to someone like Director Zhou who plans to invite his employees to go together, it's not attractive at all."
"… Why does this mechanism seem tailor-made for people like Teacher Qiao? You can level up, experience the game, and even get a huge medal. Only UP Masters, streamers, and self-proclaimed loyal gamers of Tengda Games like Teacher Qiao are particularly attractive, right? "
"Could it be that he's deliberately targeting me?"
"Ahem, ahem, that's not the case. People can't, at least not to this extent. I believe that Brother Bao still has a trace of conscience in his heart. Besides, he has no enmity with Teacher Qiao. Why would he target him? "
Min Jingchao did not look carefully at the contents of these benefits, because he did not care at all.
Wasn't it just some fake titles? Wouldn't he be able to live without them?
As a clear-headed person, he must not be tempted by such small benefits.
In any case, he had achieved his goal of persuading Bao Xu to raise the price perfectly.
Min Jingchao and Sun Xi were secretly celebrating when they saw a message from Zhou Muyan on the internal chat software. "Jingchao, come to my office with Sun Xi."
"Eh?"
Min Jingchao could not help but feel delighted.
It was obvious that they were calling us over to talk about canceling the suffering tour!
On the surface, Zhou Muyan was still a boss who fully respected his employees' opinions. He had agreed to treat everyone in the project team to the hardship trip. Now that he was going to cancel it because of the price, he had to pretend to communicate with the two of them.
Of course, he was not going to cancel it completely. He was going to replace it with another plan.
It was just as well that Min Jingchao and Sun Xi could take this opportunity to express their firm support for Zhou Muyan's wise decision. At the same time, they could take the opportunity to propose a few comfortable and constructive alternatives.
The great crisis of this arduous journey could be easily turned over.
Min Jingchao and Sun Xi looked at each other and smiled. They quickly came to an agreement and then went to Zhou Muyan's office.
Zhou Muyan's expression was a little conflicted. After seeing the two of them, he said with some embarrassment, "The enrollment for the hardship trip is starting today. The price is out too. You guys know about it, right?"
Sun Xi hurriedly shook his head. "No, I didn't pay attention to this at all. Director Zhou, you can arrange it as you see fit. Actually, I think this hardship trip is just so-so. It doesn't matter if we go or not. We should still focus on the development work. "
Zhou Muyan coughed lightly and looked at Min Jingchao. "Ahem, Jingchao, your insider information is quite accurate. The price of the hardship trip is really 50,000 yuan per person.
"I think that 50,000 yuan per person is indeed a bit lacking in price-performance ratio. There are actually many better plans to choose from.
"Also, it's not very suitable to arrange for the entire project team to go with this kind of price. On one hand, it's very low price-performance ratio. On the other hand, everyone has different habits and hobbies. It's not very suitable to use a one-size-fits-all approach like this.
"Why don't we look at other plans? A budget of 20,000 to 30,000 yuan per person is enough to have a good time."
Min Jingchao and Sun Xi immediately nodded like they were pecking rice. "That's right. We think so too!"
"The price-performance ratio of the hardship trip is really too low. Director Zhou, you can arrange it as you see fit. We'll listen to you!"
Zhou Muyan was very satisfied with their attitudes. He nodded slightly and said, "Okay. Actually, I've already found people to look at a few plans. If you're in the country, you can spend a relatively longer time and go to some scenic spots. If you're overseas, you can consider going skiing in Europe or soaking in hot springs in Japan. You can also find an island for a vacation. Those are also not bad choices.
"What do you think?"
Min Jingchao and Sun Xi tried hard not to show their ecstasy. "Director Zhou, you can arrange it as you see fit. We'll listen to you!"
Good heavens. Skiing and soaking in hot springs. Either one is a hundred times better than going on a hardship trip!
We're not picky. Anyway, as long as we don't have to go on a hardship trip, we can go anywhere!
Sun Xi knew very well that if it was the Zhou Muyan in the past, it would basically be impossible for him to organize such a large-scale team-building activity.
This time, it was obviously because of Min Jingchao. Zhou Muyan had previously promised to send the entire project team on a hardship trip. After going back on his word, he felt a little embarrassed, so he offered these plans as a form of compensation.
All in all, from hell to heaven!
"However …"
Zhou Muyan changed the topic. "As the boss, I can't go back on my word so easily. Back then, you were the ones who specifically suggested going on a hardship trip. It's fine if the rest of the project team didn't have such a strong request, but I think we should satisfy your request.
"That's why I'm thinking that the rest of the project team should follow the alternative plan. You core members should go on a hardship trip! Your standards and treatment might be higher than the rest, but you've contributed more to the project team after all. I believe the others won't have any complaints. "
Sun Xi's expression changed on the spot.
We're finished!
What was Director Zhou trying to do? Don't scare me. My little heart can't take such torture!
Min Jingchao reacted quickly. After all, he had trained in Tengda before. He quickly said, "Boss Zhou, that's very inappropriate!
"As core members, we can't have special privileges. We should be closely united with the ordinary members. Wherever they go, we go. We can't be special!"
Sun Xi also reacted and immediately agreed. "That's right, Boss Zhou. We can't be special. We have to share weal and woe with the rest of the project team and advance and retreat together!"
Zhou Muyan was still a little hesitant. "That's not very good. Actually, I think the hardship trip is quite good. It's just a little expensive. After all, you strongly requested for it …"
Min Jingchao quickly said, "No, no, no. We didn't strongly request for it. We just casually mentioned it. Boss Zhou, don't think too much. It doesn't matter if we go or not!"
The phone on Zhou Muyan's desk rang just as he was in a dilemma.
The three of them stopped their discussion for now. Obviously, Boss Zhou's business was more important.
Zhou Muyan picked up the phone on the desk. "Hello? Ah, yes, it's me. You are …? "
"Oh, oh, oh! I've heard a lot about you. I remember meeting you once before. Aiya, things remain the same, but people have changed. How sad. "
Min Jingchao and Sun Xi exchanged silent looks. Was this really Boss Zhou's old friend?
They were a little hesitant about whether to leave and hide. However, seeing that Boss Zhou didn't seem to have that intention, they didn't leave.
"What?"
"This … I did have such a plan, but the price is a little over the budget. So …"
"Eh? Discount? Half price?! "
"Aiya, I have a little too many people here … half price?"
"How can I accept that?! Thank you.
Thank you so much! "
"Ai, alright, alright. I'll treat you to a drink when I come to Guangzhou!"
Min Jingchao was a little confused. What was Boss Zhou's old friend talking about half price? Was he saying that Boss Zhou wanted to buy something from his old friend?
Zhou Muyan was all smiles. "That's settled, then. Save a seat for me. Say hello to Boss Pei on my behalf. Bye bye."
Hearing the words' say hello to Boss Pei ', Min Jingchao and Sun Xi's hearts skipped a beat. That's bad.
This is bad, this is bad, something is wrong!
Director Zhou's so-called "acquaintance" … Could it be …
Zhou Muyan was all smiles. "Alright, this problem has been solved! You don't have to suffer anymore!
"Jingchao, Bao Xu asked me to say hello to you on his behalf.
"He arranged for a fifty percent discount for the entire Bullet Hole 2 project team!
