The Cayenne was parked at the south gate of the school.
Pei Qian was about to push the car door open and alight.
Xin Hailu sat on the driver's seat as she stretched out her slender hand, holding onto a small card bag.
"This is what you asked me to do. I've rented a two-bedroom apartment near the school for you. There's an access card and a key inside."
Pei Qian did not take it immediately. Instead, he observed the system's reaction.
Well, the system didn't say it was impossible, so it was possible!
Buying clothes and renting a house seemed to have nothing to do with the company's business, but it was also related to the boss's personal image.
The clothes he bought couldn't possibly be piled up in the dormitory, right?
In the future, if he had to work overtime or go on a business trip, what if the lights were off in the dormitory and he was not allowed to go out in the middle of the night?
Therefore, renting a house was reasonable!
Moreover, the rent was not expensive. He had already bought a suit that cost tens of thousands of yuan. How much would it cost to rent a house?
It was 2009, and the rent in Handong, a well-renovated two-bedroom apartment in a high-end neighborhood, was less than two thousand yuan at most.
Unlike ten years later, an old and dilapidated one-bedroom apartment in the Imperial Capital would cost seven to eight thousand yuan.
Since the System did not say that he could not, Pei Qian did not feel any psychological burden as he reached out to take the card bag.
Flipping through it, he found a key, an access card, and a small piece of paper with Xin Hailu's elegant handwriting. It was the address of the house.
The neighborhood was not far from the south gate of the school. It was only a few dozen meters away.
"Then, have a good rest. The newly purchased clothes will be sent to your residence in a few days."
The Cayenne drove away.
Pei Qian felt great.
The System didn't forbid me from doing this, so it was actually quite loyal to me!
He swiped the access card and entered the high-end residential area near the school.
When he was in school, Pei Qian had only seen it from afar. He had never entered it.
Following the address on the note, Pei Qian found his two-bedroom apartment.
Pei Qian was shocked when he opened the door.
It was said to be a two-bedroom apartment, but in reality, it was not much different from a three-bedroom apartment. It was about 130 square meters.
All the furniture was available.
Even the bedsheets, bedding, and toiletries were all prepared.
This was a real check-in.
He didn't even need to carry a bag to check in.
Pei Qian sat down on the sofa and did not want to move his butt away.
Compared to this place, the dormitory was like a bird cage!
No, even a birdcage is bigger than that! It was cooler than that!
After lying comfortably on the sofa for a while, Pei Qian pulled himself together and prepared to get down to business.
One must not indulge in pleasure, one must have dreams!
I haven't lost all my money yet!
Pei Qian called out to the system to check on his current funds.
Wealth Conversion System
[Profit Conversion Ratio 100: 1, Loss Conversion Ratio 1: 1]
[Personal Wealth: 1957.6]
The first week's income was more than 500,000 yuan, the second week's income was more than 700,000 yuan, and the third week's income had yet to arrive, but it was estimated to be around 700,000 to 800,000 yuan.
From the looks of it, Pei Qian's estimate of a monthly income of five million yuan was quite accurate. However, he had underestimated it slightly.
Renting the office space had cost him more than 700,000 yuan. In the future, he would have to spend another 300,000 yuan every month.
He had purchased about 800,000 yuan worth of office supplies. At the moment, he had yet to spend it. Pei Qian intended to spend it as soon as he received his income next week.
As for buying clothes, renting a car, renting a house, and other expenses, they added up to more than a hundred thousand yuan. In fact, Pei Qian did not even think much of it.
He still had some System Funds left. However, based on the original 500,000 yuan, he had already made a loss of more than 200,000 yuan!
The results were gratifying!
Of course, he still had things to do next.
Renting the office space meant hiring employees. Otherwise, leaving such a huge office space unused would be a violation of the rules and he would be warned by the system.
"I'll think about who to hire."
"I can't hire anyone that's too outstanding. It would affect my plans."
"I can't hire anyone that's too trashy either. I still have to work on the game. Otherwise, I won't be able to fulfill the requirements of the system."
"Hmm … this is a technical job. I'll have to think about it at length."
The more Pei Qian thought about it, the more difficult it was.
However, for the sake of his present and future happiness, he had to try out the more difficult it was.
After much thought, Pei Qian confirmed one thing first.
That was, he couldn't just hire employees online. He had to find them himself!
Posting an online recruitment notice would only attract people who felt that they could fulfill the requirements of the position.
Some people that Pei Qian had taken a liking to would back out and not dare to come for an interview.
In other words, the lower limit was not low enough.
The recruitment notice posted on the internet had to be written in a serious manner.
There was no way Pei Qian would write 'slackers' on the recruitment notice. The system would definitely warn him.
Having just one 'trusted aide' like Ma Yang was not enough.
Where else would he find a talent like Ma Yang?
After much thought, Pei Qian suddenly thought of someone.
If he could move him out of the mountains, he would be successful!
…
After looking through three internet cafes near the school, Pei Qian finally found the person he was looking for.
This person didn't have a fixed residence, but in general, if he wasn't at this internet cafe, he would be at another internet cafe; if he wasn't at the internet cafe, he would be on the way to the internet cafe.
Perhaps it was because he would feel tired after spending so much time in the same internet cafe, he would occasionally change his environment and stay at other internet cafes for ten days to half a month.
This godly person was called Bao Xu. Everyone in the internet cafes loved to call him Bao Su.
The term 'Liver Emperor' had only become popular in the next few years.
However, given Bao Xu's performance, calling him a 'Liver Emperor' would be looking down on him.
He had to be called a 'Super Liver Emperor'!
Right now, Bao Xu was still unknown to the public.
However, his name would soon spread throughout the school. Everyone would know of him.
There were two things about him that spread far and wide.
The first was that in his first year of university, he would spend his days in internet cafes from late winter till early spring till summer, playing games non-stop.
In the hot summer, while everyone else was wearing shorts and short sleeves, he was still wearing a sweater and long johns with his jacket draped over the back of his chair.
That was because he had never returned to the dormitory and had no time to change.
When he was tired, he would lay down on his chair and sleep.
When he woke up, he would go to the washroom to wash his face and continue playing games.
Just like that, he ignored the seasons.
After that incident, he became known as' Brother Long Johns'.
The second incident was in his second year of university, he had failed too many subjects and was asked to quit by the school.
After being asked to quit, he continued to stay in internet cafes.
His family could not contact him and thought that he had died.
Bao Xu earned his living by training, grinding and reselling equipment. Just like that, he stayed in internet cafes for two to three years.
He was such a godly person.
Of course, in the eyes of ordinary people, he was a terminal stage internet addict who needed to be electrocuted.
However, Pei Qian could see where he shined.
A person like that was a true hardcore gamer.
He was extremely familiar with most of the games on the market and would answer any questions about the details of the games.
Wasn't it reasonable to hire such a hardcore gamer as an employee?
Of course, that was on the premise that he had some personal hygiene.
Furthermore, Pei Qian had his eyes on another trait: he was good at games but he didn't know anything about design!
People like that were easily led astray.
For example, if one wanted to be a good chef, they would have to be able to taste the quality of food.
However, on the other hand, if one was able to taste the quality of food and had extremely strict tastes, would they be able to become a good chef?
The answer was usually no.
In fact, the more picky a person was about food, the harder it would be for them to become a good chef.
There was a limit – going too far was as bad as not going far enough.
Indeed, creating games required passion and love for games. However, going too far would not do.
If one was too passionate about games, they would not be able to maintain their rationality and objectivity. It would be easy for them to mistake their understanding of games for that of ordinary gamers.
That was why Pei Qian felt that Bao Xu was someone who met his requirements.
On one hand, he was an avid gamer and a gaming god. Hiring him as an employee and paying him more wasn't against the system's rules.
On the other hand, he wasn't too good at design and there was a high chance that he would go to a dead end and mess things up.
Look, what a perfect employee!
However, Pei Qian wasn't sure if he could convince him.
After all, this was someone whose family would think that he had died two years later.
