September 18th, Sunday …
Jingzhou Airport …
Huang Sibo and Bao Xu dragged their suitcases and finally got a taxi.
The two tanned men sat in the car, playing with their mobile phones. They had the urge to cry.
They were finally back in human society!
Thinking about this month in the Sahara Desert, Mount Kilimanjaro, and the Great Rift Valley …
They were really living in isolation!
Bao Xu had planned the itinerary with the idea of dying together with Huang Sibo, but this mood slowly changed during this long month.
He thought about how they were alone in that distant Africa. They could only support each other, rely on each other, and cheer each other on …
He inexplicably felt that the friendship between them seemed to have become stronger.
Therefore, Bao Xu was not angry after returning from Africa. He just felt that life in Jingzhou was wonderful and began to play with his mobile phone with joy.
Huang Sibo had the same attitude.
Both of them scrolled through their phones. Only then did they realize that Jingzhou had changed so much in the one month that they had been isolated from the world!
"Today is the last day of the group stage of the GOG International Invitational Tournament. The top eight will be announced after this afternoon."
"Teacher Qiao actually released another video explaining 'Struggle'? Eh, why did he say 'again'? "
"It seems that many people on the Internet are running to Jingzhou on weekends."
"Sure enough, just the Thriller Hostel alone is not enough for everyone to make a trip to Jingzhou. However, with so many fun things added together, the trip to Jingzhou is very worth it!"
"This is the cluster effect!"
The two of them held their phones and ate melon seeds. They finally understood the general cause and effect of what had happened.
One of the key reasons why the Thriller Hostel was not popular enough was that most people were not willing to come to Jingzhou just for the haunted house.
No matter how fun it was, it could not change the fact that it was a haunted house.
However, there were many entertainment activities in Jingzhou now!
They could watch GOG's international invitational tournament. Of course, it was too late to buy tickets now, but there were many Fish-Catching Internet Cafe 3.0 in Jingzhou, which was the Live Esports Museum. There were also projections in Fish-Catching Internet Cafe 1.0 and 2.0, and they could also get a good viewing experience.
At the same time, Jingzhou had a series of industries such as the Thriller Hostel, the nameless restaurant, Fish-Catching Take-Out, shared phone booths, and so on. The schedule related to Tengda alone could fill up the entire weekend.
Under such circumstances, a weekend trip to Jingzhou became a cost-effective choice.
Since they were already in Jingzhou, it became a logical thing to play in the Thriller Hostel's highly acclaimed 'Desperate Escape' or challenge 'Ultimate Horror'.
For the local young people of Jingzhou, the various industries on the Tengda Life App were all worth experiencing, Tengda Life.
On the other hand, Struggle might not be able to recover its capital yet, but it had a great driving effect on other industries. It was still a huge profit for Tengda Corporation.
Huang Sibo and Bao Xu could not help but feel emotional. Boss Pei's skills were becoming more and more exquisite!
Who would have thought that Jingzhou would change so much after returning from Africa for a month?
They only had admiration for Boss Pei.
Huang Sibo scrolled, and his expression suddenly became a little serious.
"Tsk … Old Bao, it seems that many people on the internet are very curious about Boss Pei's identity!"
Bao Xu was stunned. "Really? Where? "
Huang Sibo handed his cell phone over and searched 'Boss Pei' as a keyword. A large number of posts and discussions could be found.
Obviously, Boss Pei had become an internet celebrity!
As for why he became an internet celebrity?
Obviously, it was obvious from Boss Pei's identity on the internet.
A top game designer, the behind-the-scenes boss of Tengda Corporation, a philanthropist who donated 15 million yuan to his alma mater and gave a speech about wealth, a boss with a conscience, and a different entrepreneur …
More importantly, Boss Pei's identity had always been very mysterious and had not really been revealed on a large scale.
However, the three 'world-famous paintings' had blown up in front of the netizens.
Obviously, no matter how low-key Boss Pei was, the netizens could not suppress their curiosity about him!
Bao Xu's tanned face could not help but show a serious expression.
This was a serious situation that could not be underestimated!
Everyone who knew Boss Pei knew that Boss Pei was a low-key person. He did not want to show his face in front of everyone, much less become an internet celebrity.
On one hand, this was Boss Pei's personality. On the other hand, Boss Pei did not want netizens to bind him to Tengda personally and worship him as an idol.
That was because it was easy to breed extreme fans, and it would be difficult for consumers to look at Tengda from an objective perspective. This seemed to be a good thing in the short term, but it obviously did more harm than good in the long term.
Therefore, the entire Tengda Corporation reached a consensus: Boss Pei's identity must not be exposed. They had to cooperate closely and continue to hide Boss Pei's true identity!
Previously, Boss Pei's identity could be hidden because everyone who had seen him had reached a tacit understanding. On the other hand, it was because netizens were not that interested in Boss Pei's true identity.
Who would dig to the bottom to find out who the boss of a certain company was?
However, looking at the current situation, it seemed like it could not be hidden anymore.
There were even netizens who were discussing that the young man in Boss Pei's Daily Life was Boss Pei himself. They even compared his clothes and back view to confirm this possibility.
The series of short episodes, Boss Pei's Daily Life, that no one had paid attention to, were dug out again!
However, many people felt that Boss Pei was too busy with work and had no reason to act as himself. Therefore, it was only speculation at the moment, and there was no confirmation.
There were not many images related to the real Boss Pei on the internet now. Those netizens did not know the inside story and could only guess.
However, the truth would come out sooner or later if they continued guessing like this.
Huang Sibo was burning with anxiety.
"What should we do? If this goes on, someone will find out Boss Pei's true identity sooner or later.
"It's not that there will be serious consequences, but Boss Pei might not be able to think in peace!
"As the helmsman of Tengda Corporation, Boss Pei must not be disturbed!
"Old Bao, do you have any ideas?"
Bao Xu fell silent.
The current situation seemed to be a little hopeless. Now that so many people were paying attention to Boss Pei, how could they stop the world from talking?
This seemed to be an impossible task!
Bao Xu pondered for a moment and said, "Old Huang, do you remember a movie that was released last year? There was a 'stealing the beam and replacing the pillar' in it? "
Huang Sibo was stunned.
"A movie about 'stealing the beam and replacing the pillar'? Last year? "
"I think I've seen it, but I don't know which one you're talking about."
Bao Xu reminded him. "There's a line in it: 'Oh no, I've become a substitute'!"
Huang Sibo's eyes widened slightly as if he had realized something, but he did not know what to do.
Bao Xu explained, "It's very simple. Use Fei Huang Workspace's official account to tell everyone that Boss Pei does not want to be noticed and does not want anyone to disturb Boss Pei's life.
"If everyone cares so much about Boss Pei's image, then you can think of the actor in Boss Pei's Daily Life as Boss Pei himself."
Huang Sibo was stunned. "Huh? But that is Boss Pei himself! "
Bao Xu smiled slightly. "Who knows?
"Everyone in Tengda, including Boss Li and Teacher Qiao's friends, would definitely be willing to help Boss Pei keep this a secret. If we agree to say that it is not Boss Pei but a special actor who looks like Boss Pei, do you think the netizens would believe it even if someone jumps out and says that the actor is the same person as Boss Pei?"
"Then why did the movie say 'I've become a substitute'? Three people make a tiger out of a tiger, and the public's words can distort metal. If everyone says that you're a substitute, then you're a substitute. Even the real Boss Pei has become a substitute.
"Similarly, as long as we agree that it is just an actor and not the real Boss Pei, how would the netizens tell?
"What's more, this way, the netizens' curiosity towards Boss Pei would also be appeased. That would form a very strange situation: everyone would think of Boss Pei as Boss Pei, but in their hearts, they would think that he is just an actor and not the real Boss Pei.
"Wouldn't we be able to continue hiding Boss Pei's true identity if we muddy the waters?"
Huang Sibo suddenly understood. "I see! Old Bao, you're really a f * cking genius! I'll discuss this matter with the other people in charge, unify our statements, and then prepare to record the video!
"We cannot delay the matter of helping Boss Pei hide his identity!"
…
At the same time, Pei Qian was in his room, very speechless as he played games.
He had wanted to sit down at Fish-Catching Internet Cafe and then watch the competition, but now, he did not dare to go!
It was Sunday, and many players and Tengda fans had come to Jingzhou. It was easy to bump into acquaintances at Fish-Catching Internet Cafe and GOG's international invitational tournament.
At that time, wouldn't his identity be completely exposed?
That would be too scary!
Pei Qian felt like a celebrity trembling in fear. There were crazy fans and paparazzi with cameras everywhere outside.
He could not possibly change his clothes, wear sunglasses, and wrap a scarf every time he went out, right? That would be too ridiculous.
Pei Qian's attitude was still the same as before. He did not want to expose his identity because there would be too much trouble!
Imagine yourself walking in school, drinking coffee in Fish-Catching Internet Cafe, or even walking on the streets. Fans would approach you to ask for a photo, seniors would approach you to apply for a job, and investors would approach you to invest in some projects.
Could he still have a private life?
He wanted to be an ordinary university student until he graduated!
Pei Qian was very speechless and helpless about the current situation.
At that moment, the cell phone on the table rang.
Pei Qian picked it up and saw that it was a message from Huang Sibo.
He had already spoken to the heads of the other departments, and everyone agreed with this plan. Thus, he sent it to Boss Pei for him to make the final decision.
Pei Qian was shocked after reading the plan.
What the f * ck?
I became a substitute for myself? Using this method to confuse the netizens?
It seemed … really feasible!
Pei Qian thought about it and replied. "Send the video immediately! We'll do it this way! "
He could not help but feel emotional. This Huang Sibo finally did not stab me in the back as soon as he came back. Instead, he helped me as soon as he came back.
That's great!
Pei Qian knew very well that it was impossible to hide it from the netizens on the internet now.
Some netizens were already suspecting that Boss Pei was acting as himself in Boss Pei's Daily Life. As long as anyone who knew Boss Pei's identity publicly stood up to support this view, the situation would get out of hand.
At that time, it would not be easy to play the trick of switching the beam with the pillar.
Thus, he had to strike first!
Through the official statement, Pei Qian could preemptively put on a layer of disguise for himself.
First, he emphasized that Boss Pei did not want to be disturbed and did not want to reveal his true identity in front of the public so that most fans would not dig into Boss Pei's personal information.
However, at the same time, he provided them with a symbol as emotional sustenance so that they would treat the actor in Boss Pei's Daily Life as Boss Pei's real image.
That way, netizens who came to Jingzhou would only treat Pei Qian as an actor and not the real Boss Pei.
This method was like a thousand-layer cake!
To Pei Qian, he would still be noticed, but to outsiders, his true identity would be 'Boss Pei's actor'. At most, he would take a photo with a fan. This could reduce this unavoidable trouble to a minimum.
Pei Qian was a little confused, but on further thought, this seemed to be the best solution at the moment.
He wanted everyone who knew his true identity to help him hide his identity. That way, even if some people revealed the truth, netizens would not believe it.
The art of war was deceitful.
How could the netizens be able to tell the difference between true and false, real and fake?
