December 3rd, Friday …
Tengda Network Technology Co., Ltd …
As usual, Tang Yishu scooped up Glabella's poop and fed it cat food. She walked past Bao Xu and returned to her desk.
Zhongdian Chinese Network's page was on Bao Xu's computer screen.
It looked like he was immersed in the exciting plot and did not care about what was happening around him.
However, after Tang Yishu walked past him, Bao Xu quickly scanned his surroundings with his peripheral vision. After confirming that he was not exposed to anyone, he quickly switched the program.
He scanned the edited document, saved it, and sent it to Li Yada using the chat software.
After doing all that, Bao Xu heaved a sigh of relief and continued to pretend to watch the plot.
Switching the game program back and forth was too slow and inconvenient. It was also relatively easy to be exposed. It was not as fast as the website.
GOG might be in the midst of intense development, but the work on the design had not been reduced.
That was because it was too easy for such a game to have bugs.
Every hero had different mechanisms. The priority of the various skills, whether the actions, special effects, and values of certain skills were reasonable, whether some details needed to be perfected …
Design problems such as these needed to be constantly modified.
Li Yada and the design team were obviously not capable enough. Bao Xu had no choice but to help.
However, Bao Xu felt a little weak at the thought of the threat of a paid holiday.
He did not dare to brazenly change the document. He could only secretly send it to Li Yada after he was done so that she could upload it.
That way, Bao Xu would be able to escape a calamity during the selection of outstanding employees in the future.
Li Yada replied a few minutes later.
"Should I apply for overtime for you this weekend?
"Or should I continue to come secretly?
"I think it's best not to come secretly. There are too many people, and problems could easily arise.
Bao Xu, "I haven't thought about it yet. I'll think about it.
"I have a feeling that things have been a little tense recently. I don't know if it's just my imagination."
Bao Xu had a bad feeling when he met Tang Yishu last weekend. He had been prepared to be exposed.
However, Boss Pei did not come looking for him.
Li Yada and Little Zhou were both called to Boss Pei's office. Obviously, Boss Pei was wary about working overtime over the weekend.
Bao Xu was lucky this time. Li Yada and Little Zhou had helped to cover up. In addition, the new young lady, Tang Yishu, was quite loyal and did not report to Boss Pei. Thus, he was safe for now.
However, this also gave Bao Xu a wake-up call.
Boss Pei had already approved some overtime for this weekend.
The design team had a certain number of overtime slots. Although the number of overtime slots and the duration of overtime were very strict, it was still good news. They didn't have to sneakily work overtime at home like before. They could openly go to the company to get coffee, snacks, and discuss design ideas face-to-face.
However, Bao Xu did not intend to apply for this quota.
What would Boss Pei think of him if he applied for this slot? What would the other colleagues think of him?
Wouldn't all their previous efforts be in vain?
Seeing that there were only two to three months until the next Outstanding Employee Selection, Bao Xu did not want to fail at the last moment.
Therefore, Bao Xu currently had three paths in front of him: report the overtime quota, work overtime openly, and work overtime at home, or not report the quota and work overtime secretly at the company.
Bao Xu was a little conflicted, but his instincts told him not to rush this matter. It was better to observe the situation first before making a decision.
…
Saturday night, Fish-Catching Internet Cafe's Handong University branch …
Pei Qian and Li Shi drank their cocktails and looked at each other in silence.
Pei Qian was a little absent-minded. His eyes were blurred, and his mood was low.
Li Shi, on the other hand, was drinking while observing Boss Pei's expression, as if trying to guess what he was thinking.
Pei Qian felt that things had not been going well for him recently. Since he had nothing to do at night, he came for a drink or two.
He did not expect to meet Li Shi.
Pei Qian did not think much about it. After all, Boss Li was a regular customer of Fish-Catching Internet Cafe. He thought that this was a normal encounter.
However, that was not the case for Li Shi.
He came to the Handong University branch on purpose to look for Pei Qian.
As for why …
It was a long story.
Ming Yun Private Kitchen's popularity had made Li Shi's Fu Hui Investments a sum of money. That made him pay more attention to Pei Qian's movements.
He suddenly realized that investing was actually that simple!
In any case, wherever Boss Pei opened a Fish-Catching Internet Cafe or a restaurant, he would invest brainlessly. He would definitely make money!
However, Pei Qian seemed to have lost interest in the physical industry recently.
At most, he opened a few Fish-Catching Internet Cafe 2.0 in big shopping malls. After that, there was no more news from him.
Li Shi wanted to invest to get some soup, but he could not.
Li Shi had always been very confused about this.
From his point of view, Fish-Catching Internet Cafe had finally become popular. Its attendance rate had increased, and its reputation had been built. Shouldn't it be time to promote Fish-Catching Internet Cafe's model to the whole country and open a lot of branches?
Even if it was for stability, he should at least expand to other cities in Handong Province, right? Places like Luzhou City and Lincheng City should be arranged as soon as possible.
Li Shi thought that once Boss Pei opened Fish-Catching Internet Cafe in these cities, he would make some investments. He would definitely be able to make money.
However, after waiting for a long time, Boss Pei did not move.
It was as if Fish-Catching Internet Cafe, which had finally turned losses into profits and was starting to make money, had nothing to do with him anymore. He had abandoned it.
That was really strange!
Therefore, Li Shi finally could not hold it in anymore today. He wanted to find out more about Boss Pei.
"Boss Pei seems to be very busy recently. He doesn't come to Fish-Catching Internet Cafe often to drink.
"It seems like having a smooth career is also a blissful worry."
Li Shi was prepared to give some bootlicking.
However, Pei Qian was not moved by his bootlicking.
His career was indeed smooth, but there was only worry and no happiness …
Pei Qian sipped his cocktail and looked melancholic. "Boss Li, I'm very confused now."
Li Shi was stunned. Then, he smiled. "What's there to be confused about, Boss Pei? Is it because you succeed easily every time you enter a new field that you feel that life is not challenging anymore? "
Pei Qian, "…"
The first half of the sentence was right, and the second half was wrong.
More accurately, it should be that he succeeded in every field that he entered. That made Boss Pei feel that life was too challenging. He was about to lose his fighting spirit.
It was a pity that he could not tell anyone about his troubles.
Pei Qian looked at Li Shi and said very sincerely, "Boss Li, you have a lot of experience in investing. You know Jingzhou City's industries like the back of your hand. Can you give me some guidance? "
Li Shi was stunned. Then, he smiled. "Boss Pei, I feel that you are teasing me. In terms of investment, I am not as good as you. In terms of understanding Jingzhou City's industries, I might be slightly better than you. However, in terms of the future development of Jingzhou City's industries, you are much better than me. "
Pei Qian, "…"
I'm seriously asking you for advice, not trying to flatter you!
Ai, it's so tiring to talk to successful people!
Pei Qian decided to get rid of the beating around the bush and got straight to the point. "Boss Li, I'll be straightforward.
"Can you tell me a little bit about the projects that the investment circle is most reluctant to touch in the entire Jingzhou City?
"I'm prepared to invest five or ten million yuan to make a small contribution to the economic development of Jingzhou City."
Li Shi was stunned.
Boss Pei was Boss Pei indeed. Even the questions he asked were so different!
When others asked, they would ask about the projects that had the most potential and the most potential returns.
However, when it came to Boss Pei, the first thing he asked was the projects that the investment circle was most reluctant to touch.
Awesome!
Indeed, the thinking of a genius was so different.
"I understand now, Boss Pei.
"Do you feel that traditional investment projects are too simple and difficult to satisfy? Therefore, you want to find some more difficult projects to play with and challenge yourself?"
Li Shi's eyes were filled with admiration and respect.
Pei Qian, "… More or less."
Li Shi raised his thumb. "I'm impressed!
"If there's a project that the entire Jingzhou City is most reluctant to touch …
"It's probably in the old industrial zone.
"Now, the entire country is emphasizing industrial upgrading, eliminating outdated production capacity, and vigorously developing the service industry and innovative industries.
"Many factories in the old industrial zone have been moved away, leaving only a few abandoned factories. They are basically located in the suburbs and are more remote. That's why they have been put aside.
"Someone once suggested to turn this place into a cultural industrial park to learn from the advanced experience of Beijing.
"However, many people suggested this. Once it was time to invest, everyone chickened out.
"That's because this is a huge problem in the entire country. Many cities want to learn from Beijing's experience and turn old industrial zones into industrial parks, but most of them have failed.
"Therefore, although this project has been green-lit for a long time, no one has dared to touch it. At most, they would symbolically rent one or two factories and warehouses, open a cafe, art gallery, and the like, and still incur losses all year round.
"How is it, Boss Pei? Is this challenging enough?"
After Li Shi finished speaking, he smiled and observed Pei Qian's reaction.
At first, he thought that Pei Qian was just casually showing off. Once he heard that it was such a difficult project, he would immediately retreat.
However, what he did not expect was that Boss Pei's eyes lit up!
"Very good, thank you, Boss Li! That's the answer I wanted! "
Pei Qian was overjoyed.
Li Shi was right. This was indeed a mess.
Similar factories were all in the suburbs. They were located in remote locations, and there were no decent supporting facilities around them. There were very few people.
If they were in the city center, such factories could be converted into art galleries and special tourism projects. They might be able to come back to life.
If they were in the city center and the nature of the land was changed, it would instantly become a delicious cake that countless people would fight for.
However, these old factories in the suburbs would immediately become uninterested. They could not even be demolished because no one was willing to pay.
However, Pei Qian liked this kind of thing!
Pei Qian downed the cocktail in his glass and stood up, preparing to leave.
Li Shi quickly said, "Boss Pei, please wait!
"Are you really going to invest here?"
Pei Qian nodded. "Of course."
Li Shi instinctively did not want to believe it, but he had to admit that Boss Pei had never lied to him …
What Boss Pei did previously seemed very unreliable, but Boss Pei still did it without hesitation. What's more, he succeeded.
Li Shi stood up as well. "Boss Pei, can you tell me what you want to do with this factory?"
Pei Qian remained silent for a moment and said, "Boss Li, I can tell you, but I have a condition.
"When this place opens for business, I hope that Boss Li can be the first customer and experience all the projects inside."
Li Shi could not help but laugh. "What kind of condition is that? No problem! Even if Boss Pei did not make this request, I would definitely experience and learn. "
Pei Qian nodded. "Yes, I'll tell you the truth, then.
I plan to build a large haunted house. "
Li Shi, "…"
