Pei Qian wiped the cold sweat off his forehead as he walked out of the guest room.
He could tell that the interview team did not come with good intentions!
At first, Pei Qian thought that this would be a small problem that could be solved easily. It was just an interview. He would just say it casually, the reporters would write it down, the readers would read it, and everyone would just pretend that nothing had happened.
He did not expect Chief Editor Xia to be so good at distorting the truth!
From the looks of it, this was definitely not a small problem. If it was not handled well, the consequences would be dire!
Pei Qian quickly pulled Assistant Xin to the side. "Who are the employees that Chief Editor Xia wants to interview?"
Assistant Xin pondered for a moment. "They are all outstanding employees in Tengda. For example, Huang Sibo, Bao Xu, Lin Wan, Lu Mingliang …"
Pei Qian sucked in a breath of cold air.
They were simply a thorn in Boss Pei's side!
Most of them were outstanding employees who had been eliminated. There were also problematic employees like Bao Xu who had to be guarded against.
What's more, these employees who loved to stab Boss Pei in the back had one thing in common: they loved to imagine.
Huang Sibo, Bao Xu, and Lin Wan were all extremely imaginative.
If they were to accept Chief Editor Xia's interview, their imaginations might not be additive. It might be multiplicative or exponential.
Would they still be able to read the interview then?
Boss Pei would probably have a heart attack on the spot.
Pei Qian instinctively wanted to arrange for someone else to be interviewed, but on second thought, he felt that it was not appropriate.
First of all, who could guarantee that the other employees were not imaginative?
Second, if they really found a few ordinary employees to be interviewed, it would not be appropriate for them to announce their titles in front of Chief Editor Xia.
Chief Editor Xia would definitely be puzzled. Why did they not arrange for the core employees to be interviewed? Could there be some other hidden reasons behind this?
Chief Editor Xia would then privately find these imaginative people to interview and give Boss Pei a surprise …
This situation was too scary. Pei Qian could not imagine it.
Thus, he still had to let these people be interviewed.
As for how to save himself …
Pei Qian thought for a moment and instructed, "Tell them directly not to mention me during the interview. Even if they mention me, they cannot say anything good about me. Do you hear me?"
Xin Hailu was stunned. "Boss Pei, this … might be a little difficult?"
Pei Qian waved his hand. "This is an order. I have to follow it. Go and inform them. "
Xin Hailu nodded. She whipped out her cell phone and quickly selected a few employees who were going to be interviewed. She then sent a group message to them about Boss Pei's request.
After that, Assistant Xin went to the reception room and briefed Chief Editor Xia.
Pei Qian still felt a little worried.
However, he had already told Chief Editor Xia that he had other official matters to deal with. It would be difficult to explain himself if he continued to stay at Tengda.
Thus, although he was a little worried, Pei Qian had no choice but to leave. He wanted to wait for the interview to end today and then make further plans the next morning.
…
Arriving at the guest room, Huang Sibo could not help but feel a little nervous at the sight of such a situation that he had never seen before.
There were three cameras, one fixed, and two video game consoles shooting from different angles. Coupled with the professional-looking Chief Editor Xia, it was clear that this interview was of a high standard.
As the first outstanding employee of Tengda to receive the Dream Fund, it made sense that Huang Sibo would be the first to be interviewed.
Originally, he thought that this was just a very ordinary interview. He just had to say what he wanted to say and be done with it, so he didn't pay too much attention to it.
In any case, the main character of the interview was Boss Pei. As long as he truthfully described Boss Pei's glorious image, wouldn't he be able to answer whatever the reporters asked?
However, things had changed now.
That was because Huang Sibo had received a key message before he entered. It instructed him not to mention Boss Pei during the interview. Even if he did, he couldn't say anything nice about him.
Instantly, Huang Sibo felt immense pressure.
However, he did not feel too confused. After all, Boss Pei's train of thought was always so imaginative and unconventional. Behind many illogical actions and requests, there were often very complicated and deep meanings.
Huang Sibo and most of Tengda's employees were already used to this.
Even if they couldn't say anything nice, they definitely couldn't tarnish Boss Pei's reputation.
Only a fool would tarnish his own boss during such an important interview.
Furthermore, Boss Pei had done so much for them. Wouldn't their conscience hurt if they badmouthed Boss Pei?
In that case, they could only not mention Boss Pei.
However, what if they could not complete the interview according to Boss Pei's requirements?
After all, there were three cameras filming. When the interview was edited, a large number of players would watch it. They couldn't possibly run their mouths off in front of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of players just to complete Boss Pei's task. That would embarrass Tengda, right?
It was a dilemma.
Therefore, Huang Sibo could only rack his brains to think of what to say in order to satisfy Boss Pei's requirements without causing a huge deviation in the interview and arousing everyone's doubts.
He couldn't think of a good solution in such a short time. He could only listen to Chief Editor Xia's questions and then adapt accordingly.
On the other side, Xia Jiang was also flipping through the list of people to be interviewed as if facing a formidable enemy.
Before the interview, Xia Jiang had already obtained the list, including their work experience, the fields they were responsible for, some outstanding work events, and so on.
That way, they could save a lot of time in the early stages of communication and make the interview more efficient.
Assistant Xin hinted that Boss Pei hoped to avoid mentioning him as much as possible during the interview. He wanted to dig into the inner world of these outstanding employees.
Xia Jiang expressed her understanding.
The low-profile Boss Pei never fought with his employees for fame and fortune. He left all opportunities to show his face to his employees.
That was a very rare and noble quality.
If someone else had said something like that, Xia Jiang might have doubted their motives.
However, Boss Pei's words made Xia Jiang feel that it was only natural.
Therefore, Xia Jiang decided to fully respect Boss Pei's intentions and avoid talking about him as much as possible.
However, was that enough?
Xia Jiang didn't think so.
Boss Pei could be indifferent to fame and fortune and not fight for it at all.
However, Xia Jiang felt that as a professional reporter, she had the ability to let everyone know about Boss Pei's noble character! She also had the obligation to restore the truth to everyone!
Therefore, how could she convey Boss Pei's noble character while respecting his wishes and not mentioning him at all?
That was a very difficult task, but Xia Jiang was prepared.
Huang Sibo sat down on the sofa, and Xia Jiang quickly finished reading his resume. The interview officially began.
Xia Jiang smiled. "Because of some reasons that we both know, there will be some changes to today's interview content.
You just have to answer the questions according to your own thoughts, alright? "
Huang Sibo nodded hurriedly.
She was indeed a professional reporter. It looked like she already had a solution. There was no need to worry.
"We all know that you are considered a veteran employee of Tengda. When you joined, the company had not been established for long. So, can you tell us why you joined such a company? "Xia Jiang asked.
Huang Sibo thought back to the scene back then.
"In the beginning, I was doing miscellaneous work at another game company in Jingzhou. My salary was not proportional to my work, and I happened to see Tengda's recruitment advertisement on the internet. That's why I wanted to try my luck.
"When I came for the interview, I actually met the previous chief planner, Old Liu. However, he did not pass the interview as well. That made me feel a little uneasy.
"After I arrived at the company, I realized that although it was a start-up company, the working environment was very good. That made me even more determined to work here.
"I honestly introduced my position and abilities and received a salary that far exceeded my expectations. That was why … I came to work here."
Huang Sibo very carefully hid Boss Pei's existence from the entire description.
Xia Jiang nodded tacitly. She was prepared to ask a few more detailed questions about the content.
"In the end, the company hired you, but they did not hire the experienced chief planner from your previous company, right?"
Huang Sibo nodded. "That's right."
"At that time, Tengda was still a start-up company. However, the working environment was very good, right?"
"That's right."
"You said that you received a salary that far exceeded your expectations. How exactly did you communicate this?"
Huang Sibo pondered for a moment. "Er … I took the initiative to propose a figure first. Then, I asked for double the salary."
Xia Jiang looked at Huang Sibo approvingly.
Very good. That was the feeling!
Both parties had reached a tacit understanding. After that, the interview became very simple.
"Before you officially started working on Ocean Stronghold, you already had a rough idea of how to make this game, right?"
"You weren't clear about the specific advertising methods for the game at the start, right?"
"After Ocean Stronghold was completed, you left Tengda Games. Can you tell me why?"
"Fei Huang Workspace had been incurring losses at the start. However, you did not accept low-end advertisements like other video creators. That was because someone advised you, right?"
One question after another, Xia Jiang and Huang Sibo chatted happily as they answered one question after another.
All the way until noon, Huang Sibo's interview finally came to an end.
Xia Jiang was very satisfied with this interview. She stood up and shook Huang Sibo's hand.
"Thank you very much for taking time out of your busy schedule to accept this interview. I hope that your work will be smooth and that you will achieve great results!"
…
…
At Fish-Catching Internet Cafe …
Pei Qian, who was playing the game, looked at the time. It was almost 12.
Logically speaking, the first interview should have been over, right?
He did not know what exactly had been put in, and he felt very uncertain.
However, Pei Qian was too embarrassed to ask. He could only hope that his treasured employees would listen to him and not mention him.
Pei Qian felt that this was a little ridiculous.
Someone else was the one being interviewed. Why did he feel so uneasy?
