March 20th, Sunday …
Ming Yun Private Kitchen …
The weather was slowly warming up. It was a sunny day, and the afternoon sun was shining brightly.
Tables, chairs, and umbrellas had been set up in the courtyard of Ming Yun Private Kitchen. There were more than ten more seats than before so that it could accommodate more people.
The sky was clear, and the wind was gentle. It was a different feeling outside.
At that moment, the core members of Tengda's various departments were gathered together, exchanging toasts, drinking, and catching up. The waiters were pouring wine and serving dishes. The entire Ming Yun Private Kitchen was immersed in a happy and peaceful atmosphere.
The heads of the various departments took turns to welcome Ruan Guangjian. Everyone in Halo Workspace felt the warmth of home.
Many department heads also took this opportunity to thank the other departments.
For example, Chang You of Otto Technologies.
The success of E1 was inseparable from the support and profits of the other departments in the early stages. This matter was fought for by Director Lin and was part of Tengda Corporation's overall development strategy. What's more, all the profits from the cell phone would be returned. However, Chang You would definitely not take these help for granted.
He led the core members of Otto Technologies to thank the other departments one by one, laying a good foundation for future in-depth cooperation.
Another example was Huang Sibo of Fei Huang Workspace.
The various advertising ideas and logos in the movie had been completed by the various departments. Although the other departments had benefited from the movie's success, Huang Sibo did not forget to thank everyone for their support.
Other than that, some new faces were also warmly welcomed.
For example, the three new heads of Tengda Games: Hu Xianbin, Min Jingchao, and Zhang Nan.
The three of them had performed exceptionally well after taking over Li Yada and Bao Xu's work. The mobile version of GOG had exploded in popularity, and their abilities had been recognized by everyone.
Some old friends also took this opportunity to talk for a long time about the current situation of the business they were in charge of.
As for Pei Qian, he did not come today.
Obviously, Pei Qian had already foreseen the style of today's celebration banquet. If he forced himself to attend this meal, there could only be one ending.
Rubbing salt on the wound!
Just the thought of all the department heads taking turns to toast him and saying that the project would not have succeeded without Boss Pei's wise guidance made Pei Qian's heart ache.
Thus, he decided not to come.
As the saying went, out of sight, out of mind. There were many opportunities to have a feast at Ming Yun Private Kitchen. There was no need to eat this one.
This news was known to the various department heads from the very beginning, but the other core members of the department who participated in the dinner did not know.
Therefore, many people raised this question not long after the celebration feast began.
"Eh, Director Lin, why isn't Boss Pei here?"
"That's right. I remember that Boss Pei attended all the gatherings before."
"Boss Pei, are you busy today?"
"Ss … it's Sunday today. Could Boss Pei still be busy with work? He's told us not to work overtime, but he's still running around for the company on weekends? "
Many people's eyes were filled with worry and shame.
He was worried about whether Boss Pei's body could take it under such high-intensity work.
He felt ashamed because Boss Pei was working so hard, but he was eating and drinking with a clear conscience. It was really inappropriate.
Lin Wan raised her glass of red wine, smiled, and said, "Don't worry, everyone. I think Boss Pei's absence today is not entirely because of work. He has other considerations as well."
The noisy crowd quietened down. Everyone looked at Lin Wan and asked, "Director Lin, do you know anything about this?"
Lin Wan shook her head. "I don't know anything, but I can guess!
"The way I see it, there are at least two reasons why Boss Pei is not here today."
Everyone listened intently.
"First, Boss Pei wants to leave enough personal space for all the departments.
"Perhaps Boss Pei thinks that as the boss, his presence at such an event would make some employees unable to relax. Everyone would be tense because the boss is present, and the atmosphere would be more serious.
"Thus, Boss Pei deliberately did not come. He wants to create a natural and stress-free atmosphere for all of us so that we can enjoy the relaxation and joy of success."
Everyone nodded, feeling that this made sense.
Although Boss Pei was very approachable and did not put on airs like a boss, he was still the boss.
What's more, Boss Pei was far-sighted and meticulous. He had a very dazzling aura among all the department heads. Even if everyone wanted to treat him as an ordinary person, it was basically impossible.
Under such circumstances, Boss Pei's presence would definitely cause some subtle changes in the atmosphere.
Moreover, Boss Pei deliberately did not come for a meal so that everyone could relax and enjoy good food and bond better. It seemed like he really had other intentions!
Lin Wan smiled and continued speaking. "Second, Boss Pei is definitely working. There is no doubt about that. However, his work is probably different from what everyone imagined.
"It has been so long. Did anyone notice a special phenomenon?
"Boss Pei seems to be the busiest after all the projects have been completed!"
Everyone recalled carefully. It seemed like that was indeed the case.
At the beginning of the project, Boss Pei simply gave a few general directions and let the various departments do as they pleased. He did not ask about it anymore.
During the research and development of the project, Boss Pei would occasionally ask about the progress, but he would not be too picky about the details. Instead, he would blindly rush the project, work overtime, and other violations of the Tengda spirit.
On the other hand, when the project was a great success and everyone was resting, Boss Pei would start to get busy. He was often elusive, and no one knew what he was busy with.
What's more, Boss Pei seemed to become very worried at this stage. He always looked like he was thinking about problems.
"Why is that?" Someone asked.
Lin Wan took a sip of red wine and said emotionally, "How can there be so many peaceful years? There are always people carrying the burden for us.
"As the saying goes, 'people who do not think about the future will have immediate worries'. All the projects have been a great success. Do you think it is a coincidence?"
This question stumped everyone.
What was the reason for the success of the project?
Was it because everyone was working hard?
That must be the reason. However, there were many companies in the world that were working hard, and not every company could succeed.
In Tengda, it seemed like the success rate would be higher after hard work. In fact, it was much higher!
Take this cycle for example. Two games, cell phones, movies, shared phone booths, 'Top Student, Come Quick', and other projects that were originally very uncertain had all been successful. That was definitely not something that could be explained by 'hard work' and 'luck'.
Lin Wan continued. "Everyone should have realized that these projects succeeded because they chose the right direction first. Secondly, the various industries and departments helped each other. That greatly increased the chances of success.
"If we invested a lot of money into making movies and developing cell phones last year, the chances of success would naturally be greatly reduced without the help of other departments!
"Obviously, Boss Pei had planned these details from the beginning. He had obviously thought about which projects could be done and which could not be done."
"Why is he the busiest after the project is completed?
"That's because he has to start planning the next phase of the project after the project is completed.
"Think about it, everyone. We have to plan the general direction of the project and also consider the effects of the interaction between the various departments. There are so many things that are complicated. It is not something that can be figured out in a day or two.
"On the other hand, Boss Pei can always come up with a perfect plan for us to carry out within a week or two. He can even give us some pointers when we hand over the tasks. The difficulty of this is unimaginable!
"Boss Pei is so young, but he can plan so well and achieve so much. Such outstanding ability must have an element of talent, but it is definitely inseparable from his hard work.
"Boss Pei must be thinking about things that we can't imagine all the time in a place that we can't see!
"I think we can learn from Boss Pei. Don't just focus on celebrating after the project is completed. We should also think about future plans. That would be very helpful to improving our abilities!"
Everyone nodded in agreement.
"Yes, that must be the case!"
"It's no wonder that 'Boss Pei' always looks like he's deep in thought even when things are going well!"
Lin Wan continued. "Of course, I think you don't have to worry too much about Boss Pei's health.
"As the creator of the Tengda spirit, Boss Pei must be very clear about the relationship between work, rest, and health. He has repeatedly advocated for more rest and more entertainment. That is because he knows better than anyone else the importance of maintaining good health and good condition.
"Everyone can rest assured. Given Boss Pei's current state, he can lead everyone to fight for at least another forty years!
"That is also in line with our country's legal retirement age."
Everyone's faces were filled with happiness.
"Alright!"
No one knew who shouted, but everyone began to applaud.
That's right. Boss Pei had just turned twenty this year. Many well-known entrepreneurs were still active in the business world even when they were in their seventies or eighties.
Even if Boss Pei wanted to retire because of his high achievements in the future, he had to work until he was sixty, right?
There were still forty years left!
Think about the glorious achievements that Tengda had achieved under Boss Pei's leadership in the past two years. What kind of giant would Tengda develop into in another forty years?
What kind of heights would everyone here reach in their careers?
Just thinking about it was exciting!
They would be willing to work for such a boss for the rest of their lives, let alone another forty years!
Everyone was extremely excited, and the atmosphere became lively again.
…
Boss Pei, who had been catching up on his sleep because he was addicted to GOG, suddenly woke up. He quickly calmed down when he saw the warm afternoon sun outside the window.
"Why am I having nightmares in broad daylight?
"That's so scary. I actually dreamed that I worked hard until I retired without incurring any losses. I even became the richest man in the world. I still have to work until I'm sixty years old and be stabbed in the back by countless employees!
"That's such a failure!
"If that really happens, I might as well find a piece of tofu and kill myself!
"It's alright. Dreams are always the opposite of reality. It's impossible …"
Pei Qian yawned and turned around to continue sleeping.
