Pei Qian tried hard for five minutes and then dragged the mind map into the recycle bin.
He gave up. This thing would not work at all!
Pei Qian was not an iron-headed person. He should give up decisively and think of other ways.
After finishing his cocktail, Pei Qian looked at his watch. It was almost time to go back and rest.
Wouldn't it be nice to play games in front of the big TV for a few hours and then have a comfortable sleep?
He might have finished many games, but games were things that could never be finished.
Pei Qian got up and prepared to go back to play games and sleep at that thought.
…
Pei Qian came to the 12th floor of Dawn of Prosperous City and was about to enter when he found a small note on the door.
"Eh?
What's this? "
Pei Qian thought it was a water bill, but on further thought, wasn't the water bill a very long one? What's more, the butler was in charge of paying the water bill in Sloth Apartments.
He took it down and saw a line of words: 'Tonight at 9 PM, Jingzhou TV Finance Channel.'
Pei Qian was stunned.
What did this mean?
Assassination notice?
Death threat?
What would Jingzhou TV Station have?
No matter what it was now, Pei Qian felt that something was wrong as long as it was related to the TV station.
There was no signature on the note, but it was too late to think about who did it.
He looked at his watch. It was almost 9 PM. He might not be able to make it in time if he delayed in Fish-Catching Internet Cafe for a while.
Pei Qian hurried in, changed his shoes, and turned on the TV.
A few minutes later, the Finance Channel's interview program started on time.
"He is the helmsman of Fu Hui Investments, a famous investment company in Jingzhou.
"He is regarded as the second wind vane of Jingzhou's investment industry.
"He is resolutely invested a huge sum of money when all companies and investors are not optimistic about the old industrial zone's transformation.
"He has experienced ups and downs in the investment circle and witnessed countless wealth legends. What unique views does he have on the way of investment? How does he remain clear-headed and think rationally in the face of complicated work?
"In the era of entrepreneurship and innovation, what secret of success does Li Shi, who has been in the business world for half his life, have to share with young people?
"Tonight's financial story, 'Li Shi and the Thinker', is about to be shown!"
This interview segment was filled with the deja vu of 'XX has an appointment'. However, that was normal. After all, it was a popular interview segment in the country. It was normal for Jingzhou TV Station to imitate it.
Pei Qian had already locked onto the person who had pasted the note on his door the moment he finished reading the opening.
It was definitely Director Li!
However, although he had locked onto the mastermind, Pei Qian was a little suspicious of his motives.
This interview program obviously had nothing to do with him, right? Isn't this Manager Li's interview?
Then what does Director Li want me to see? Did they see how handsome he was on the talk show?
Is Director Li showing off to me? Bragging that he can go on a television interview program and I can't?
Don't you know that the Finance Channel came to me first? After I rejected the interview, they came to you?
Show off your hammer, show off.
Pei Qian thought about it again. That wasn't right. Boss Li wasn't that kind of person.
Perplexed, Zhang Xuan continued reading.
Pei Qian was stunned the moment he saw the interview.
Wasn't this Sloth Apartments?!
It was obviously Boss Li's room. The layout was exactly the same as his room. Even the position of the Fully-Automated Bickering Machine on the table was the same!
Pei Qian suddenly realized the problem.
Why did Boss Li have a Fully-Automated Bickering Machine?
There was one in his room, but Zhang Wang and the others had specially sent it to him. They didn't give it to the other rooms, right?
Pei Qian calmed himself down and continued watching.
Boss Li spoke confidently on the screen.
"… Boss Pei invested, so I invested as well.
"… Boss Pei obviously did the best in every aspect. That's why he could invest in so many successful projects.
"… Rather than saying that this is Boss Pei's residence, it's more like Boss Pei's training room and meditation room.
"Success is not a coincidence, but the result of hard thinking day after day …"
Pei Qian's expression went from relaxed to confused, to shocked, and finally to completely lifeless as he watched the interview program.
Manager Li's speech had completely dumbfounded him!
He understood every word, but he had no idea what Boss Li was talking about when they were strung together!
Moreover, the more he listened, the more ridiculous Pei Qian felt.
Are you sure the 'Boss Pei' described here is the same person as me?
Moreover, aren't we interviewing you? What's the meaning of you talking about me?
Pei Qian originally thought that the title of this interview program, 'Li Shi and the Thinker', was to say that Li Shi was a thinker.
Now, he realized that the thinker was referring to himself!
The word 'and' was not an explanatory relationship, but a parallel relationship!
Thinking back, Boss Li's every step in this program was a heart-wrenching one.
First, he talked about Thriller Hostel with the host, portraying himself and Pei Qian as investors who cared about Jingzhou and supported the transformation of the old industrial zone without hesitation.
Then, he began to change the topic to the Sloth Apartments. He talked about the special layout and structure of the Sloth Apartments and how helpful it was for people to concentrate and think.
Finally, he talked about the Fully-Automated Bickering Machine and said that it was the finishing touch of the entire 'thinking space'. He even said it with philosophy.
At first, Pei Qian did not think much of it. He thought to himself, 'You can accept the interview, what does it have to do with me? You even put a note on my door to show off? '
Now, he understood. It was not showing off; it was clearly a death notice!
Pei Qian felt unwell all over.
Something had happened, something big had happened!
The Sloth Apartments had already gone through several twists and turns. Now, only the last wall had not been breached.
The recent formaldehyde housing incident had discredited a large number of rental companies such as Home Apartments and Snail Apartments. They were now busy apologizing and doing public relations. Only the Sloth Apartments was not damaged in this incident. Instead, it gained a wave of fans!
However, there were still not many people who were really determined to live in the Sloth Apartments. At the end of the day, it was because of the 'Four Bare Walls'.
However, Boss Li's words had completely reversed the explanation of the 'Four Bare Walls'!
The original 'impractical' had instantly become 'helpful for calm thinking'.
Even a harmless invention like the Fully-Automated Bickering Machine could not escape Boss Li's claws. It was explained as a work of art to train one's mentality and calm one's thinking.
An interview program had directly destroyed the Thriller Hostel, Sloth Apartments, and the Fully-Automated Bickering Machine!
Now, Pei Qian's greatest feeling was regret.
He did not expect that his refusal to be interviewed by the Finance Channel would have the opposite effect!
However, who would have thought of such a thing?
Pei Qian quickly took out his cell phone and checked the latest reviews of the Sloth Apartments on the Tengda Life App.
Now, he could only hope that the public would not be deceived by Boss Li!
The Sloth Apartments did not help with thinking at all. Don't be fooled!
The Fully-Automated Bickering Machine was purely a waste of time. Don't buy it!
However, seeing the new comments below the Sloth Apartments, Pei Qian's heart instantly turned cold.
The original comments were basically criticizing the inconvenience and impracticality of this place.
However, the focus of everyone's discussion had completely changed in the latest few comments.
"I see! I felt that the Sloth Apartments was not suitable because it was opened in the wrong way! "
"I'm an artist. After watching the interview program, I suddenly realized that the Sloth Apartments is the perfect place in my mind. It's minimalistic to the extreme. Nothing will disturb my thoughts. "
"I'm an author. I think this place is not bad too!"
"Programmer + 1."
"Is Boss Pei's way of thinking really useful? I'm tempted. I'm going to rent one and give it a try! "
"Actually, it makes some sense. 'Disconnection' and 'minimalism' are popular now. Of course, this can't be said to be completely correct. Everyone has to consider whether their life is suitable for them. However, this concept still makes some sense. Everyone's energy is limited. If you want to have a huge breakthrough in a certain field, you have to completely abandon all distractions. The Sloth Apartments is providing such a place! "
"Then, how do you explain the lack of storage space and the inability to change the position of the furniture?"
"Don't you understand? This is to ensure that everything in the room will not be messed up by you! Think about it. If you have a lot of storage space, you will keep buying and buying and then stuff a bunch of useless things into the cabinets. If you can buy your own furniture, you will definitely do it according to your own preferences. This is completely contrary to the concept of the Sloth Apartments! "
"That's right. The layout of the entire house was specially designed by an amazing designer. If you move around, wouldn't the original perfect combination be destroyed? There's no sense of immortality at all."
"That's right. The Sloth Apartments has a butler and a cleaner. You can't move the furnishings inside. Isn't that so that you don't have to worry about anything and focus on your own matters?"
"It's normal to feel that it's not down to earth. That's because the Sloth Apartments initially implemented Boss Pei's own life philosophy. It's not suitable for everyone. It's specially prepared for thinkers. "
"I heard that the biggest apartments have been bought by Jingzhou investors. Now, there are two lakeside houses and one commercial and residential apartment left. Big bosses, hurry up. I think they'll be rented out soon. "
"These three types of apartments happen to be in three different price ranges. Is it convenient for people of all wealth levels to experience this minimalist lifestyle?"
"Friendly reminder, you must get a Fully-Automated Bickering Machine after renting the Sloth Apartments!"
"I'm not renting, but I'm very interested in the Fully-Automated Bickering Machine. I've already placed an order!"
"Everyone, have you realized that the Fully-Automated Bickering Machine is simply amazing! It perfectly matches all the qualities of humans: repeater, pigeon, fragrant, and argumentative! "
"Doing meaningless things over and over again = Repeater;"
"Quitting after playing for five minutes. Leaving it to the dust = pigeon;"
"At first, people said that no one would buy this stupid thing, but now they're fighting for it = fragrant;"
"Playing with it and getting intoxicated = argumentative."
"Holy sh * t, that's true. I heard that this is Boss Pei's invention. Could it be that Boss Pei had already considered this when he invented this thing?"
"Let's not talk about it anymore. Place the order, place the order as soon as possible!"
"Don't worry, the official website shows that there are sufficient stocks. Everyone has a share!"
Pei Qian was completely dizzy.
He could not understand what these crazy people were thinking at all!
I can accept that you guys are crazy about renting Sloth Apartments, but what the f * ck do you mean by buying Fully-Automated Bickering Machines?
I managed to secretly produce more than twenty thousand units, and I've only sold less than two digits so far. I was doing quite well at first, but now it's all over!
Pei Qian did not know how much the Fully-Automated Bickering Machine would sell once it became popular, but judging from the strong interest of the idiotic netizens, it would definitely be a lot!
Pei Qian felt helpless. Was there not a single normal person among the netizens?
Was there no one who could tell that Manager Li was just bragging and running his mouth?
He was completely making things up without any basis!
Suddenly, Pei Qian saw a comment that rekindled his hope of life.
"Are you all confused? Would extreme minimalism help you think? What evidence is there? Boss Pei has so many businesses under him, and each has a person-in-charge. How could he take care of them all? So don't deify someone. Boss Pei might not even care about these things. It's all done by the person-in-charge of the various departments! "
"That's right, Tengda has so many businesses now. How could Boss Pei take care of them all?"
"I also think that the biggest possibility is that Boss Pei has a good eye for talent and arranged capable person-in-charge for each department. That's why he could achieve the success he has now. If he were to think about so many things, he would definitely not be able to think about them all. It might even have the opposite effect. "
Pei Qian felt warmth in his heart.
Brothers, you're so right!
I really can't take care of them all!
It's all done by the person-in-charge of the various departments. It has nothing to do with me!
However, the comment below instantly extinguished the little flame that had just risen in Pei Qian's heart.
"Do you want evidence? Here it is. [Picture] [Picture] "
The first picture was Pei Qian's back view in Fish-Catching Internet Cafe with his right hand on his chin, deep in thought.
Since there were already two world-famous paintings in Fish-Catching Internet Cafe and Fish-Catching Take-Out, this back view was instantly recognized.
The second picture was a magnified computer screen in front of Boss Pei. It was very blurry, but one could barely make out that it was a flow chart. The largest box was filled with the names of Tengda Games, Fish-Catching Take-Out, and other core departments.
"This is the evidence. Are you satisfied?"
"It turns out that Boss Pei is not only grasping the direction of each department, but he is also grasping the linkage between each department! Look at these dense lines. Ordinary people might struggle to even see them clearly, but Boss Pei can use this flow chart to plan the linkage of each department! "
"So that's how it is! No wonder GOG's World Invitational Tournament could help Deposit Fitness and the club promote it! So it's all part of Boss Pei's plan? "
"Now that you think about it, those genius publicity methods and linkage effects in the past can all be explained!"
"Tsk … How many times did Boss Pei think about these densely packed lines? Could this brain be a galaxy computer? A hundred million calculations per second? "
"I didn't quite believe the content of the interview at first, but I do now! Boss Pei's ability to complete such extraordinary thinking is definitely closely related to his lifestyle! I'm going to order the Fully-Automated Bickering Machine now! "
Pei Qian looked at this picture, and his expression fell into a daze again.
Wasn't … wasn't this what happened tonight?
It could have been more than an hour ago?
Who did it?!
Who was so free to take pictures of me?!
First it was the interview segment, and now it was the world-famous painting.
Did all of you discuss it in advance to add insult to injury?
