This weekend, Pei Qian was quite busy.
He had planned to sleep in his rented apartment, but he could not fall asleep no matter how hard he tried. Every time he closed his eyes, the image of the internet cafe becoming so popular and making so much money appeared in his mind. He could not eat or sleep well.
He had no choice but to ask Assistant Xin to pick him up. He had to take a look before he could be at ease.
Of course, he naturally paid Assistant Xin for her overtime pay.
First, he went to Fish-Catching Internet Cafe's flagship store. He had a cup of coffee and sat down for a while. He confirmed that there would not be any signs of this place turning losses into profits.
Next, he went to Fish-Catching Internet Cafe's two new branches to take a look at the renovation.
The locations of these two branches were even worse than the flagship store. The good thing was that they were spacious. The renovation could not be exactly the same as the flagship store. He could only try his best to lean towards the style that Pei Qian liked.
The overall style was minimalistic and not too fancy. However, the tables, chairs, bar counter, bookshelves, and the like still gave off a slightly pretentious vibe.
It was not that Pei Qian liked this pretentious vibe. It was mainly because such furniture was usually more expensive.
The two branch managers of the new shops looked like they were working very hard. They were both staring at the renovation workers. Pei Qian expressed his concern to them and persuaded one of the branch managers to go home. The other one was adamant. Pei Qian had no choice but to pay him overtime.
After looking at the internet cafe that was being renovated, Pei Qian was still worried. He walked around the area and concluded that this place was even colder than the flagship store. Not many people would come here.
On his way back, he went to the office on a whim. Lu Mingliang and a few members of the design team were caught red-handed by Pei Qian.
Boss Pei was furious.
Previously, Pei Qian allowed Huang Sibo and the others to work overtime because he thought that Huang Sibo and Bao Xu were working overtime to play games.
However, he realized that they were not working overtime to play games. They were obviously working hard!
Thus, Pei Qian felt that he should be strict in the future. He would not allow anyone to appear in the office during non-working hours.
This time, Pei Qian chased Bao Xu out as well. The reason was for him to go home and rest well so that he could maintain his hairline.
Bao Xu thought about the results of the previous physical examination and did not have any good reason. He could only pack his things and leave silently.
During this period of time, Bao Xu had a lot of money on hand. He no longer lived in the Internet Cafe. He rented a single room and bought a new computer. It was fine for him to go home and play games.
When the others saw that Bao Xu had been persuaded to leave by Boss Pei, they had no choice but to pack up and leave.
The scene was quite miserable. Everyone walked out dejectedly. Those who did not know would have thought that they had been fired.
After chasing everyone away, Pei Qian casually found a chair and sat down. He felt quite tired.
This group of people really makes people worry!
"I was wondering if I should get a new lock for the office. Or purchase a more advanced electronic door lock? The kind that can only be opened on legal holidays with the corresponding authority. "
Pei Qian looked at Assistant Xin.
Xin Hailu hesitated for a moment before saying, "Won't this dampen everyone's enthusiasm for work?"
Dampening your enthusiasm for work?
That would be great.
It would be best if it was not a contusion, but a comminuted fracture.
"That's settled then. Remember to look for the administrative department to see if there are any similar door locks and purchase one."
"Only authorized people can open the door on legal holidays. For the time being … you, me, and those few ladies from the administrative team are authorized."
The work of the administrative team was the easiest. Basically, they would clock in from 9 to 5. They might be a minute late, but they would definitely not be a minute late.
They would definitely not be seen during legal holidays.
Pei Qian was very assured to give them the authority.
Assistant Xin noted it down in her notebook.
The moment she said that, Pei Qian thought of a new problem.
How would they calculate overtime pay?
If he locked the door so simply and crudely, no one would come to work overtime. However, he would not be able to give out overtime pay either.
While this amount of money was not a lot, it was still a part of the 'strength in numbers plan'. It was an important part of the 'source of income'.
A single person's overtime pay was not much. However, if there were more employees in the future, it would be a huge sum of money.
Pei Qian pondered for a moment. "How about this? We'll let everyone report for overtime in the future. Overtime pay will also be calculated at home."
Xin Hailu was stunned. "How do we verify?"
Verification? What verification? It was fine even if everyone made false reports.
Of course, Pei Qian could not say that.
He pondered for a moment and said, "I believe in everyone's self-awareness. However, if anyone is found to have made false reports, we will deduct their overtime pay for this month. "
He set a standard for punishment to shut the System up.
In any case, Pei Qian would not really find out who made false reports.
Looking at the empty office, Pei Qian felt much better. He stood up from his seat and prepared to go home and sleep peacefully.
At that moment, his cell phone rang. It was Huang Sibo.
Pei Qian immediately took it seriously.
After filming for Boss Pei's Daily Life, Huang Sibo and Bao Xu were prepared to take a break for half a month.
Pei Qian guessed that they should have finished their break long ago. They should be thinking about starting a new project and filming a new film.
Although Pei Qian had used his silver tongue to ignite Huang Sibo's fighting spirit and successfully persuaded him not to fight to the death with Boss Pei's Daily Life and give up on this successful IP, Pei Qian had no idea what Huang Sibo and Zhu Xiaoce were going to film.
This call was either to discuss or to report to Pei Qian.
Pei Qian hoped that it was the former.
He picked up the phone.
"Boss Pei, I'm sorry to disturb you at this time.
"I wanted to report to you about Fei Huang Workspace's future plans.
"Boss Pei's words the last time could be said to have enlightened me. Director Zhu Xiaoce and I had originally planned to continue digging deeper into short videos and continue Boss Pei's Daily Life to shoot a new series of short videos. We wanted to achieve the effect of this reversal and contrast vividly. We wanted to combine the current hot topics and discover a series of down-to-earth celebrity characters from the grassroots …"
Pei Qian's heart skipped a beat as he listened.
Was this f * cking Unexpectedly or Bao Zou Big News Events?
No matter which one it was, it didn't sound very optimistic.
Huang Sibo continued, "However, Boss Pei's words the other day made me realize something. I think we should step out of our comfort zone and continue to pursue our own dreams!
"Although short videos are a very good way to make money and can bring laughter to everyone, we still feel that something is missing.
"Director Zhu Xiaoce had the same opinion as me. Therefore, after our discussion, we decided to film a documentary that no one has ever filmed before.
"Of course, due to our current funding constraints, it is impossible to make documentaries with big scenes. We will seriously consider the selection of materials. We only hope that we can use the camera to record something meaningful … "
Pei Qian heaved a sigh of relief, but he quickly became wary again.
He heaved a sigh of relief because Huang Sibo and Zhu Xiaoce had really given up on short videos. That was undoubtedly great news.
If they really filmed it according to their original plan, it would most likely be another popular short video. If they really made it to the level of Unexpectedly or Boss Report, they would really be in big trouble.
Now that Huang Sibo and Zhu Xiaoce wanted to film a documentary, the possibility of making money from the subject matter had decreased once again. That was a good thing.
