Ruan Guangjian moved the certificate slightly to the side so that Qiao Liang could see it clearly.
"Ascetic Ruan Guangjian, in the second phase of the Suffering Travel (December 2012 to January 2013), was determined to forge ahead and dared to take the lead. His performance was outstanding among all the ascetics and he was ranked among the best. He was specially awarded the title of 'Outstanding Ascetic'!"
Qiao Liang was stunned for a moment, and then his head was filled with question marks.
Something was amiss!
He looked at Chen Yufeng on his right. "Where's your certificate?"
Chen Yufeng also turned to show it to him. It read: "Ascetic Chen Yufeng, in the second phase of the Suffering Travel (December 2012 to January 2013), forged ahead and fought bravely. He could be said to be a mainstay. He was specially awarded the title of 'Outstanding Ascetic'!"
Qiao Liang felt even more amiss.
From the wording of these different titles, one could clearly feel the difference!
At that moment, Bao Xu had already distributed the commemorative medals and certificates.
"The two-month long suffering trip is over, and everyone behaved well."
"The time might be short and I can't bear to part with it, but I believe that everyone has received sufficient training."
"I hope that everyone can remember the spirit of the Suffering Travel. In the following days, they can develop the tenacious will that they have cultivated in the Suffering Travel into their work and life, and pass on this spirit!"
"If you want to pursue a higher challenge, you can sign up again. At that time, there will be a higher-level commemorative medal!"
"Finally, on behalf of Boss Pei and all the staff of the Suffering Travel, I would like to express my sincere congratulations to everyone!"
"Everyone can rest here. We will set off tomorrow!"
After the warm applause, everyone finally heaved a sigh of relief. They sat on the ground and relaxed.
However, Qiao Liang obviously could not sit down calmly like the others. He walked around and looked at all the certificates.
After reading it, Qiao Liang sat on the sand and silently drew circles on the sand.
What a scam!
At first, Qiao Liang was quite happy when he saw his certificate.
Look, the brave, persistent, indomitable, and tenacious ascetic …
Weren't these all good words?
Qiao Liang felt that this comment was completely appropriate. It perfectly displayed his heroic bearing in the Suffering Travel.
He felt extremely good about himself.
However, after reading the comments of others, Qiao Liang realized that he had misunderstood.
Because the others were all outstanding ascetics!
Among them, there were not many outstanding ascetics, only three out of ten people. People like Ruan Guangjian and Yao Bo, who were more than capable, had already gotten outstanding ascetics. This meant that they were at the top of this Bitter Tour.
From the wording of the certificate, it could be seen that the words "determined to forge ahead", "daring to be a pioneer", "being among the best" and so on were more or less the same.
The other six people, such as Chen Yufeng and Jiang Yuan, the person-in-charge of Tengda, did not perform as well as Ruan Guangjian and Yao Bo, but they were still alright. That was why they were evaluated as outstanding ascetics. The evaluation also used words like 'mainstay'.
As for Qiao Liang, he was the only one who had obtained the title of 'Tenacious Ascetic'!
Considering the fact that he had always been a "key target of assistance", this comment was completely different from what he had expected.
Why did he keep emphasizing Qiao Liang's fighting spirit?
Wasn't it because he had always been at the bottom?
It was precisely because he had been at the bottom, persevering, and then continuing to be at the bottom that people could see his spirit of hard work.
Of course, it might also be because the 'outstanding ascetic' would be too strong if the last place was given to him. How could he be outstanding if he was already at the bottom?
He could only praise him from another angle.
It was just like in a game, where the top bosses were all domineering titles such as Extraordinary Masters or Strongest Kings. If there were words like "tenacious" or "unyielding" in those titles, they would definitely be scum at the bottom of the heap …
Qiao Liang was completely melancholic after learning this sad fact.
He could not help but wonder if others would ask him if he had participated in the Bitter Tour when he returned. How should he answer?
He had participated, but not too much. He had only participated a little.
If others asked again, they would hear that there were medals, certificates, and titles. What was his title? Was it an outstanding ascetic or an outstanding ascetic?
Qiao Liang answered, Tenacious Ascetic.
Was that appropriate?
At that time, if others asked again, eh, I've never heard of the title of Tenacious Ascetic. How many places do I have to get the title of Tenacious Ascetic?
How was he supposed to continue the conversation then? There was no way to talk at all!
He could not possibly tell others, "This is a rare title, and I'm the only one who got it in the entire episode!"
He would become a laughing stock if word got out.
What should he do?
Qiao Liang felt that a dangerous thought was germinating and growing in his heart.
Bao Xu had actually hinted just now that the medal they received was only the most basic medal even though it was beautiful.
Taking part in one, two, or three Bitter Journeys would result in different medals. And the one who conquered three Bitter Journeys was the real ascetic!
He could get another title if he participated in another Bitter Tour. What's more, Qiao Liang felt that his physique had improved greatly. He would definitely not be at the bottom if he did it again …
"Damn it, stop, I can't think about it anymore!
"Hurry up and think about Fish-Catching Take-Out, Fat Otaku Cola, ROF computers, and big televisions at home!
"I must resist the temptation. I must not participate in the Bitter Tour a second time!"
Qiao Liang's heart was in a fierce battle. He was swaying wildly on the question of whether he should participate in the Bitter Tour again.
At that moment, Zhu Xiaoce said in surprise, "The internal list for the next Bitter Tour is out! Eh, there are so many people this time, and it's delayed for a month. It will only start in March? "
"Brother Bao, is the Bitter Tour going to expand?"
Bao Xu, who was sitting at the side, nodded. "Yes, it is."
"The external registration for the Bitter Tour is full, and the internal arrangements have also begun to spread from the department heads to the core members of the department. Boss Pei's ultimate goal is to make everyone in Tengda suffer and suffer. To achieve this goal, he can only bring ten people in two months at a time. The efficiency is too low. "
"This month is just in time for the Spring Festival. It's a good time for the staff to rest, settle down, and summarize the experience and lessons of the previous two Bitter Tours. At the same time, carry out personnel training and expand the current team into several teams."
"In the future, I'll try to bring dozens or even hundreds of people with each team so that everyone can experience the fun of the Bitter Tour!"
Everyone scrolled through their cell phones silently, trying to hide the shock on their faces.
Brother Bao, you've completely changed. You weren't like this before!
Look at what you're saying, are you even human?
What do you mean by making everyone suffer and suffer? You're even pushing the blame to Boss Pei?
That's obviously what you're thinking!
However, everyone dared not say anything even though they were angry. After all, everyone knew that it was not impossible for them to enter the palace a second time once the 'triple medal' mechanism was released.
Once they offended Bao Xu, there was a high probability that they would enter the palace a second time!
Zhu Xiaoce quickly changed the topic. "Let's see who our acquaintances are in the next episode … Yo, Tian Mo, Wu Chuan, Chen Kangtuo! Something's not right. Zhang Yuan isn't here yet? What's more, why did the sales department leave an empty spot on the internal list? "
Everyone focused their attention on the list for the next episode.
Was there anything in this world more joyous than the end of their suffering?
Obviously, there was. It was to see their acquaintances appear on the list of the Bitter Tour for the next episode!
At the end of the trip, the people in charge of the last trip were also happy to see the new batch of people in charge of suffering, and they laughed with satisfaction.
This time, it was obviously a cycle.
It had to be said that this was mainly thanks to Boss Pei. He could always finalize the list of the next Bitter Tour in advance before the Bitter Tour ended, allowing them to reap double the happiness.
However, many people were confused when they saw the names on the list.
There were many people on the list this time. It was no longer mainly made up of Tengda's person-in-charge. Instead, a large number of core members from various departments had been added.
Among these people in charge, the selection of Tian Mo, Wu Chuan, Chen Kangtuo, and the others made everyone smile. There was a kind of happiness that said, 'don't even think about running away'.
However, Zhang Yuan was still not on the list …
That made people's imaginations roam.
After all, some of these people in charge had heard that Zhang Yuan had found the true meaning behind Boss Pei's Bitter Tour and found a way to avoid it. However, many people thought that it was nonsense when they first heard it and did not believe it at all.
However, they had no choice but to believe it now. This list was to verify Zhang Yuan's point of view!
Apart from that, there was another very interesting point.
There was actually a vacancy on the list that was specially reserved for Tian Mo's sales department.
Logically speaking, the sales department that Tian Mo was in was indeed doing well. It was reasonable for Tian Mo to suffer because he had opened Jingzhou's experience store so well. Such an achievement obviously should not be attributed to him alone. It was reasonable to send two core members to suffer together.
However, why was there a pending vacancy? Why is it still pending?
The only possibility seemed to be that someone had made a huge contribution but did not locate who it was. That was why there was a vacancy.
There was still a month before the next Bitter Tour officially began. That was enough time to find this person.
However, on further thought, he felt that it did not make sense.
The people in charge looked at the list on their cell phones and fell into deep thought.
The Bitter Tour gave people an increasingly mysterious feeling. They had to ask Zhang Yuan for advice when they returned and learn from him.
…
At the same time, in the advertising and marketing department …
Meng Chang had just received a promotional video from Tian Mo.
"Brother Meng, the promotional video has been edited. Please check it."
Obviously, Tian Heiquan did not realize the seriousness of the problem at that moment. He thought that this was just a routine task completed by cooperating with the advertising publicity department.
There was nothing special about the video. It was just a shot of Tengda's experience store, showing the structure and layout of each floor, some new experiences, the goods that were constantly being sold and restocked in the inventory, the surging crowds, and so on.
What Meng Chang told him was to shoot a promotional video for the experience store. Then, he could specially allocate a sum of money from the advertising and marketing department to place it on websites like Aili Island to increase the reputation and customer traffic of the experience store.
Tian Mo did not have any doubts at all. After all, it was always a good thing to have popularity!
After a period of careful filming and editing, the video finally reached a level that Tian Mo was more satisfied with. That was when he sent it to Meng Chang.
After a while, Meng Chang replied. He asked in a seemingly logical manner, "It's very well edited! The rhythm is very good. Who edited it? "
Tian Mo replied proudly, "Ding Xiyao cut it! At first, I wanted to find someone to edit it, but after asking in the department, I found out that she's very good at this. I handed it over to her. "
Meng Chang: "Understood!"
