Pei Qian decided to read the work reports from the various department heads on his laptop first.

  Most of Tengda’s departments had completed their blood transfusions ever since the “sub-base” event was arranged. The original person-in-charge had gone to the other departments to experience the basic work. The person-in-charge of these departments were all replaced by people other than Tengda.

  Pei Qian had already seen this list before. These were old acquaintances, but they might not be able to adapt to Tengda’s work!

  Thus, Pei Qian still had a glimmer of hope.

  If these people were not used to Tengda’s work, they would more or less show it in the work report.

  Tengda had too many departments now, so there was a lot of content in the work report. Pei Qian could not possibly read all of them. He only flipped through a few key departments and read them.

  He fell silent after reading it.

  It seemed… To be no different from the work reports from the various department heads!

  He could not tell that the person-in-charge had been changed! If Pei Qian was not very sure that these people in charge must have strictly implemented his ‘lower-level’ requirements, he would have thought that he had been muddled and controlled.

  “What’s going on? Have these substitute person-in-charge adapted to the department’s work so quickly and are all very good at working?”


  “It’s easy to get used to someone like Li Shi. I’ll tolerate it. How can Qiao Liang adapt quickly?” “Why don’t I believe it!”


  “Or could it be that the middle level of these departments are very impressive, so the middle level is holding up the work of the departments until the person-in-charge has just completed the handover and has not completely grasped the work of these departments, so that there is no negative impact of the person-in-charge changing on the surface?” “That’s possible.

  “What should I do then? I can’t possibly drag all the mid-tier members of the departments out to suffer, right? If there are too many people, it would be equivalent to emptying half of Tengda. I can’t even complete the settlement!”


  Pei Qian was a little melancholic. He felt like he was suffering the consequences.

  Previously, Pei Qian had always tried all ways and means to interfere with the work of the department heads. It was the first-place-elimination system and Suffering Travels. In short, he had been thinking of ways to torture these department heads to death so that they would not stay in their work desks as much as possible.

  It was effective at the beginning.

  After all, many important jobs in the department were arranged by the person-in-charge. Once the person-in-charge left, even if he chose a core employee to take over these jobs, he would not be able to completely adapt for a while. There had to be a process of gradually familiarizing and improving his ability.

  After that, Pei Qian expanded the scope of Suffering Travels to the core employees of the department. That slowed down the progress again.

  However, the key was that this could not solve the problem from the root. It only delayed the problem!

  It was precisely because the heads of the various departments were often not around but had to complete the projects before the working period that Tengda’s various departments gradually evolved into an organization structure that was different from other companies. It was equivalent to the work rights of the heads were removed and placed on the middle level.

  That ensured that the entire department could operate normally without the person-in-charge.

  Therefore…


  It was no wonder that the substitute person-in-charge outside could successfully take over after arriving at Tengda. That was because the structure of the entire department had changed! The middle level could support the basic business of the entire department, and the substitute person-in-charge only needed to set the general direction.

  What’s more, these people in charge were old friends of Tengda Corporation. They had thoughts, abilities, and a deeper understanding of Tengda.

  Was it strange that they could support these departments?

  It did not seem strange at all. Pei Qian fell into awkward silence. Why did this “base level” plan seem to be different from the script that he had expected…


  Not only were people different, but the effect was also different.

  However, Pei Qian was helpless. He could not possibly send all of Tengda’s mid management to suffer, right? That would probably mean that the project could not be completed and the cycle could not be settled.

  What’s more, doing so would be too brazen and overboard. It would easily arouse suspicion and not conform to the system’s rules.

  If Pei Qian was the Ming Zu, he could indeed do that. In any case, Old Zhu was a model worker. Getting rid of half of the officials would still ensure the normal operation of the country’s violent machines. However, that was not the case for Pei Qian. He did not have the ability like Old Zhu. To outsiders, Boss Pei had everything in the palm of his hand. However, to Pei Qian, Tengda’s development had been completely out of his control…


  At that moment, Pei Qian was like a worker on a rail. He could change a road. However, no matter which road it was, it seemed like he could not make this train slow down or stop…


  “Forget it, I won’t read it.”


  “Nothing big has happened recently. These people in charge are not stupid. They are only maintaining the normal operations of the department and writing work reports. I don’t think it will be difficult for them, let alone obvious mistakes.”


  “Let’s observe for a while more.”


  Pei Qian quietly closed the work reports from the various departments. He decided not to dwell on this problem in the short term.

  After being cut off from the rest of the world for so long, Pei Qian decided to read the news online and experience the changes in the outside world.

  Then, he saw the keyword on the hot searches list.

  # Tengda Games Setup #!

  Pei Qian was stunned when he saw this keyword. He felt that something was amiss.

  Something was very wrong!

  That was because Pei Qian could not imagine what its content was immediately after seeing this word!

  In Pei Qian’s impression, the most recent thing about Tengda Games was to look for Tengda Games and Shang Yang Games to develop ‘The Future You Choose’ before he went into seclusion.

  However, this matter could not be related to # Tengda Games’ layout #! “Could it be…”


  Pei Qian suddenly had a very bad feeling. He moved his mouse trembling and entered the topic.

  Then, Pei Qian suffered a mental breakdown.

  “F*ck you!” “What credit information system! Why did it have to appear at this time? Are you messing with my mentality?”


  “You can f*cking produce it next year! Next year, when I incur losses for more than a hundred million yuan each time in this cycle, I’ll earn a few million yuan more. You can produce this easily. I’ll have no complaints!”


  “My incubation base!”


  “My Dawn Games platform!”


  “My ‘Shu Li’!”


  “Boohoo…”


  Pei Qian was filled with sorrow.

  They had expended so much effort and hid it well. In the end, they were all dug out!

  Not only had it been dug out and revealed to the world, but for some reason, its popularity had also taken off! Logically speaking, what virtues and capabilities did such a thing have to be first on the hot searches? It did not make sense even if it was only first on the hot searches in a short period of time.

  An independent game incubation base, a gaming platform, and an outstanding domestically-produced standalone game.

  Pei Qian read the discussion carefully and understood.

  It was all done against Tengda!

  The corners of Pei Qian’s mouth twitched slightly, feeling like he could not hold it in anymore.

  “Nie Yunsheng, which side are you on!”


  “The anti-Tengda Alliance just established not long ago, and they’re already sending me such a ‘huge gift’? You’re probably not spies sent by Tengda, right!”


  “I really can’t count on anyone!”


  Pei Qian had thought that the anti-Tengda Alliance would be more or less helpful for his loss-making career. Now, he realized that he had been completely wrong!

  It seemed like none of Tengda’s ‘enemies’ were reliable!

  Pei Qian was furious.

  However, he suppressed his anger and reviewed the entire incident from beginning to end.

  “Therefore… this matter has nothing to do with Qiu Hong, Yan Qi, Li Yada, and the others? They have been following my instructions and keeping it a secret very well. However, the enemy took the initiative to provoke them. The popularity is too high. In addition, this public announcement system has been released. Once the enthusiastic netizens check, they will be exposed…”


  Pei Qian was a little melancholic. This matter did not seem to be anyone’s fault.

  This wave could only be said to be not very cooperative. However, even so, the influence and destructive power of this incident was too great!

  These three consecutive deaths seemed to have caused Tengda’s reputation in the gaming circle to skyrocket. It had already completely crushed all domestic gaming companies. Not only that, the attention of the ‘Destitution Plan’ independent game incubation base, Dawn Games platform, and Shu Li had also increased the risk of future profits.

  Especially Dawn Games platform!

  A large number of players were entering, and every player could turn into real money in the future.

  Not only did this trend not slow down at all, but it was also getting more and more intense. Pei Qian did not dare to look at the backend figures on Dawn Games platform because he knew very well that if he did, it would only increase his already high blood pressure.

  “What evil!”


  “I just want to write a thesis in seclusion. Why do I feel like I’m ‘a day above the sky, a thousand years in the world’ every time I restore contact with the outside world?”


  “I said it was seclusion, but didn’t I just cut off the internet for a few days? It really became seclusion!”


  “In the end, I had to save the situation midway.”


  Pei Qian could no longer sit still.

  The thesis would only be handed in on the 10th of next month. His current progress was still alright. He was just short of finishing it. At first, Pei Qian had thought that he would be able to complete it from the 3rd to 5th of next month. Then, he would have more time to make some modifications. The timing would be perfect.

  However, the current situation was a little difficult to bear.

  He had to quickly come out and give some instructions.

  If he really delayed it until April 10th to deal with these problems, it would not be rushed!

  What should he do?

  Pei Qian pondered for a moment. It was probably impossible to stop these gamers from entering Dawn Games platform. What’s more, since Dawn Games platform’s relationship with Tengda had been exposed, there was no point in pretending anymore.

  Thus, he could only enter the next stage that he had thought of previously.

  At first, Pei Qian had thought that Dawn Games would not make money for at least two to three years. However, it looked like he was still too young.

  He would put Tengda Games on Dawn Games platform. Then, he would forcefully start drinking poison to quench his thirst by increasing the developers’ share, discounts, promotions, free, and so on!

  There was no helping it. Pei Qian could not care about the future anymore. He only hoped that he could successfully earn the 15 million yuan in this cycle!
