Seeing that the three of them were stunned, Pei Qian emphasized again. "Add it now!"
He Desheng was the first to react. He nodded. "Alright, Boss Pei."
It was easy to add a line of words on the publicity page. It was nothing more than finding an empty space on the original picture and adding a sentence.
He Desheng had no doubts about Boss Pei's actions, but Zhang Wang and Ma Yang were heartbroken. It was as if their souls had been taken away.
However, Pei Qian did not argue with them and turned to leave.
There was no choice. That was how Boss Pei repaid evil with good.
Although these customers were renting Sloth Apartments and buying Fully-Automated Bickering Machines as if they had lost their minds and were using money to backstab Boss Pei, Boss Pei could not give up on them.
He would write these words and save as many as he could!
…
At the same time, in Building 9 of Binhu District, Sloth Apartments …
Qiao Liang had signed the contract and moved to the top floor of this building.
In fact, he wanted the top floor of Building 8 more, but that seemed to have been rented by Chen Lei's fanatical fans.
Therefore, he could only settle for the next best thing and rent the top floor of Building 9.
He had to admit that it was lucky to be able to rent the top floor of Building 9. If he had been a few minutes later, the floor would have plummeted.
That was because the ground floor was already crowded with people who wanted to rent apartments. The apartments here were not enough.
Looking at the vast lake outside the window, Qiao Liang felt a sense of comfort.
He hung all the clothes in the suitcase in the master bedroom and then put the suitcase in the second bedroom.
There was only a little storage space in the entire room, but it was enough for Qiao Liang.
There were only some handicrafts in the huge living room of this apartment. The decorative bookshelf could not be used as storage space. However, this allowed Qiao Liang to focus on enjoying the 180-degree lake view.
Qiao Liang curled up on the sofa, took out his laptop, and cut a video. It was worth it!
For some reason, his thoughts suddenly calmed down. He wanted to think about some problems and make a video!
Could this be the magical effect of Sloth Apartments?
It seemed to be really good for thinking here …
Wait, that's not right.
Something seemed to be missing.
Qiao Liang suddenly realized that the Sloth Apartments he rented seemed to be lacking a soul: there was no Fully-Automated Bickering Machine!
Yes, he had to match it!
In fact, Qiao Liang had wanted to buy it last night. However, considering that he would have to bring it along if he bought it, he might as well buy it at the Sloth Apartments.
Although the Sloth Apartments did not allow him to add furniture or change the layout in principle, the butler would tacitly agree to the Fully-Automated Bickering Machine.
Qiao Liang immediately searched for the Fully-Automated Bickering Machine online and successfully found the purchase page.
However, after clicking in, Qiao Liang was stunned.
Because he saw a line of eye-catching words on the purchase page.
"It's expensive, boring, and won't improve your thinking ability. Maybe you can spend your money on something more meaningful. "
Qiao Liang was stunned.
What did that mean?
Will it not improve the ability to think?
The officials denied the deeper meaning of the Fully-Automated Bickering Machine?
Qiao Liang clearly remembered that there was no such sentence when he looked at this page last night.
Why did he deliberately add this sentence?
Qiao Liang hurriedly went online to check the netizens' comments. Only then did he realize that not only did the Fully-Automated Bickering Machine have this line of words, but the Sloth Apartments also had a line of eye-catching words: Living here will not improve your thinking ability.
His tone was very calm, as if he was emphasizing an objective fact.
Qiao Liang was even more confused.
What did he mean? I just moved in, and Boss Pei is already doing this to me?
What was the intention of emphasizing this? Was he denying himself?
However, this place was indeed helpful for thinking!
Qiao Liang could clearly feel that this environment was very simple and very artistic. It was indeed helpful for calming down and stimulating inspiration.
Why did the officials emphasize that this place would not improve thinking ability?
Qiao Liang thought for less than two minutes and immediately had a realization.
"So that's it!
"I understand now!
"It's just … I don't know if the netizens can see it?"
After confirming the answer in his heart, Qiao Liang flipped through the netizens' comments, and a gratified smile quickly appeared on his face.
"What does the new description for the Sloth Apartments and the Fully-Automated Bickering Machine mean? Could it be that what Boss Li said previously was fake? "
"Yes, it's all fake. Everyone, don't rent or buy it! Leave it for me! "
"I've already moved in. This environment is really helpful for thinking. Moreover, this Fully-Automated Bickering Machine can really make people fall into deep thought. "
"Why add these two sentences then? Isn't that counterproductive? "
"These two sentences actually contain a kind of dialectical thinking. What is the meaning of the Sloth Apartments and the Fully-Automated Bickering Machine? It's for you to think independently, not believe what others say, and not go with the flow. If you blindly live in the Sloth Apartments and buy the Fully-Automated Bickering Machine without thinking independently, wouldn't that be contrary to the meaning of independent thinking? "
"I understand! Therefore, these two sentences are reminding us: if we don't use our brains and only believe what others say, it would be useless even if we use the Sloth Apartments and the Fully-Automated Bickering Machine. They can't change a person's way of thinking. In other words, don't exaggerate and deify the meaning of these two things. "
"At the same time, it's also hinting to us that what we really need to change is the way we think about problems and not completely rely on external things."
"Yes, that makes sense! It's useless to live in the Sloth Apartments if you only know how to blindly follow the flow. "
"But then again, the Sloth Apartments creates an environment, and the Fully-Automated Bickering Machine provides a carrier. This is undoubtedly helpful for our thinking. There's no doubt that it's just a 'catalyst', not a panacea that can cure all diseases. "
"As expected of Boss Pei, he just casually added two sentences and they're so philosophical!"
"I want to buy it even more now!"
Qiao Liang nodded slightly after reading these comments.
Yes, the netizens were indeed getting more and more used to Boss Pei's way of thinking. There was no need for him to stand up and interpret it.
Perhaps in the near future, the netizens would spontaneously interpret every puzzle that Boss Pei created and dig out the deeper meaning behind it. That meant that his mission was completed!
Boss Pei's puzzle this time was really simple. Everyone solved it in a second.
Qiao Liang happily ordered the Fully-Automated Bickering Machine and waited patiently for delivery.
He took out his laptop, curled up on the sofa, and looked at the lake while repeatedly reading Big Boss He An's long Weibo post.
Sure enough, there would be some new insights every time.
To this day, Qiao Liang still did not give up because Boss Pei once told him that as long as he gave up on using Products of the Gods to interpret Struggle, he would be able to get the real answer to the Thriller Hostel video.
Therefore, Qiao Liang had been using He An's long Weibo post as a key and constantly studying it.
Qiao Liang felt that Big Boss He An's ten-thousand-word long Weibo post on Struggle itself should be in a perfect state. No matter how hard he studied, he should not be able to find new content.
In that case, what about outside of Struggle?
After the recent Sloth Apartments and the Fully-Automated Bickering Machine incident, Qiao Liang vaguely felt something, but it seemed difficult to grasp.
He could feel that he was now missing a clue, a clue that could string everything together.
Once he found this clue, all his doubts would be easily solved!
Qiao Liang tried hard to think about all the content during this period, including Thriller Hostel, Fish-Catching Take-Out, Struggle, Sloth Apartments, Fully-Automated Bickering Machine, Deposit Fitness, Tengda Life App, and so on. At the same time, he searched for information through various keywords online.
Suddenly, Qiao Liang's eyes lit up.
He found a post on the internal forum of Handong University with the title: Boss Pei's full text of his speech on wealth at the Science Hall.
This was a hot post on the internal forum of Handong University. There were many replies, but it did not seem to be widely reposted on the external network.
Qiao Liang was not a student of Handong University, so he could not reply to this post, but he could read the full text.
"Boss Pei's speech?
"It seems to be true.
"It actually did not spread out?"
Qiao Liang had a little doubt about the authenticity of this manuscript. It was reasonable to say that a celebrity like Boss Pei would definitely make it known to everyone when he gave a speech in school, right? How could he be so low-key that even the manuscript did not spread?
However, after taking a closer look at the students' replies below, Qiao Liang realized that it seemed that Boss Pei did not appear in person at the time but entrusted someone else to read the manuscript.
"I see, no wonder the popularity is so low. However, the content of this speech seems to have deeply touched the students.
"Hmm … since it was written by Boss Pei himself, it is necessary to study it."
Qiao Liang began to read the full text.
This speech was aimed at all the poor students sponsored by Tengda, and the theme of the speech was to explore the 'concept of wealth'. The full text actually only talked about one thing: what Boss Pei thought the concept of wealth was like.
Obviously, this speech hoped that the poor students would use the money that Tengda donated to them correctly.
However, what surprised Qiao Liang was that Boss Pei did not emphasize in the speech that the poor students should 'save money' or 'be thrifty'. Instead, he explained this concept from another angle.
Many poor students' understanding of wealth fell into a misunderstanding. They equated 'wealth' with 'money' that they could control. They mistakenly thought that the correct concept of wealth was to do everything possible to spend less and consume less.
However, Boss Pei proposed a new concept in the speech: for young people like them, the most precious wealth was not their own money but their own attention.
Therefore, they should not save all their money and be reluctant to spend it. They should not buy meaningless things that were only used to satisfy their own vanity, and they should not spend it on distracting and addictive entertainment.
Where should they spend their money?
They should spend it where they could focus and think. They should use money to pry their attention. That was the only way to maximize their wealth.
After reading this speech, Qiao Liang suddenly felt his eyes light up.
He seemed to have found the thing that he had been looking for!
