Chapter 1358 - Jingchao, Bao Xu Greets You
Chapter 1358: Jingchao, Bao Xu Greets You
December 12th, Wednesday…
Guangzhou, Sun Strike Studios.
Min Jingchao was busy with his work and did not notice Sun Xi pulling a chair over to sit beside him.
“Brother Chao, the Suffering Travels seems to be officially open today. Are you sure everything has been arranged?”
Sun Xi looked apprehensive.
He panicked!
Previously, Zhou Muyan had already said that he wanted to arrange for everyone in the project team to suffer. Sun Xi could not help but watch Teacher Qiao’s live-stream for a few more days recently. The more he watched, the colder his heart became.
This was only the first month of training, but it was already so miserable. What would it look like if he were to suffer next month?
However, things had taken a turn for the better two days ago. Min Jingchao said that he had already resolved this problem. Sun Xi would wait and see.
Min Jingchao did not disclose how it was resolved, so Sun Xi could not help but feel worried.
Min Jingchao could not help but want to laugh seeing Sun Xi’s panicked expression.
Who was the one who said that he was envious that Tengda’s employees could suffer?
It was the same for humans. They would only watch the thief eat meat, not watch the thief get beaten.
He would only know regret when it was his turn.
Fortunately, I’m here!
Min Jingchao patted his chest. “Don’t worry, I’ve already done both!”
“I also checked with Boss Zhou and set a price that Boss Zhou would most likely give up.”
“If it was just one or two people, Boss Zhou would definitely not bear to give the entire project team this price. Don’t worry!”
Sun Xi smiled. “Really? I’ll wait and see then!”
After he relaxed for the time being, Sun Xi returned to his desk and continued working.
After more than an hour, Sun Xi returned.
However, he no longer looked apprehensive. Instead, he looked excited.
“Brother Chao, you’re really awesome!”
“I just released an announcement about Suffering Travels that reservation registration to the public has officially begun. The price is 50,000 yuan per person!”
“Boss Zhou would definitely not be willing to give this price to the entire project team. That’s great!”
Min Jingchao could not help but smile. “Hehe, it’s a small matter, a small matter. It’s all in my plan.”
On the surface, he looked calm. However, in his heart, he was already praising himself.
So what if it was Bao Xu? He was still deceived by my words!
Min Jingchao put down his work for the time being and opened the official website of the Suffering Travels to check the announcement.
“Oh, there’s a lot of additional benefits. It looks like it’s connected to the other departments.”
“It’s expected. After all, if we want to increase the price, we have to add value.”
“Tsk… don’t say. It’s quite attractive, but it’s not a big deal. These benefits are very tempting to individuals, but it’s not attractive to someone like Boss Zhou who plans to hire an employee team.”
“…Why does this mechanism seem to be tailor-made for someone like Teacher Qiao? It’s upgrading, gaming experience privileges, and even a huge reward. In other words, it’s especially attractive to someone like Teacher Qiao, an UP Master, a live streamer, and a self-proclaimed loyal gamer of Tengda Games, right?”
“Could it be a deliberate target?”
“Hehe, not to that extent. He can’t, at least not to this extent of black-heartedness. I believe Brother Bao still has a conscience in his heart. What’s more, he has no feud with Teacher Qiao. Why would he target him?”
Min Jingchao did not read the contents of the benefits carefully because he did not care at all.
Wasn’t it just some fake titles? No matter what, he would still live.
As a clear-headed person, he could not be tempted by such small benefits.
No matter what, he had achieved his goal of persuading Bao Xu to increase the price.
Min Jingchao and Sun Xi were secretly celebrating when they saw a message from Zhou Muyan on the internal chat software. “Jingchao, come to my office with Sun Xi.”
“Hm?”
Min Jingchao could not help but feel elated.
He was obviously calling us over to talk to us about canceling the Suffering Travels!
On the surface, Zhou Muyan was still a boss who fully respected his employees’ opinions. Previously, he had agreed to invite everyone in the project team to suffer. Now, he was going to cancel because of the price. He definitely had to pretend to communicate with them.
He would definitely not cancel it completely. Instead, he would replace it with other plans.
It was just as well. Min Jingchao and Sun Xi could take this opportunity to go down the bottom lane. They would express their strong support for Zhou Muyan’s wise decision and take the opportunity to propose a few comfortable and constructive alternatives.
He could easily turn over the huge crisis of this Suffering Travels.
Min Jingchao and Sun Xi looked at each other and smiled. They quickly agreed and went to Zhou Muyan’s office.
Zhou Muyan looked a little conflicted. When he saw the two of them, he said with some embarrassment, “I’ve started to sign up for the Suffering Travels today. The price has also been released. Do you know?”
Sun Xi quickly shook his head. “No, I didn’t pay attention to this at all. Boss Zhou, you can arrange it as you see fit. Actually, I think this Suffering Travels is just that. It doesn’t matter whether we go or not. We’re still prioritizing development now.”
Zhou Muyan cleared his throat and looked at Min Jingchao. “Hehe, Jingchao, your insider information is quite accurate. The price of Suffering Travels is really fifty thousand yuan per person.”
“I think that 50,000 yuan per person is indeed lacking in the price-quality ratio. Actually, there are many better plans to choose from.”
“What’s more, it’s not appropriate to arrange for the entire project team to go with such specifications. On one hand, the price-quality ratio is very poor. On the other hand, everyone has different habits and hobbies. It’s a little inappropriate to do this one-size-fits-all.”
“Why don’t we inspect other plans? Each person can play very well with a budget of twenty to thirty thousand yuan.”
Min Jingchao and Sun Xi nodded immediately. “That’s right, we think so too!”
“The price-quality ratio of Suffering Travels is indeed too low. Boss Zhou, please make the arrangements. We’ll listen to you!”
Zhou Muyan was very satisfied with their attitude. He nodded slightly and said, “Alright, actually, I’ve asked someone to preliminary inspect a few plans previously. We can play in China for a relatively long time. We can go to some scenic spots. If we go overseas, we can consider going to Europe to snow or to the neon spring. It’s not a bad choice to find an island for a holiday.”
“What do you think?”
Min Jingchao and Sun Xi tried hard not to show their joy. “Boss Zhou, you can make the arrangements. We’ll listen to you!”
Good lord, he was going to enjoy the snow and hot spring. Any one of them would be a hundred times more blissful than Suffering Travels!
We’re not picky. As long as we don’t suffer, we can go anywhere!
Sun Xi knew very well that it would be impossible for the previous Zhou Muyan to organize such a large-scale cohesion event.
Obviously, he had benefited from Min Jingchao this time. Zhou Muyan had previously agreed to send the entire project team on a torturous trip. He felt a little embarrassed after changing his mind, so he gave these plans as compensation.
All in all, hell to heaven!
“However…”
Zhou Muyan changed the topic. “As the boss, I can’t go back on my word easily. Back then, you were the ones who especially suggested that you wanted to go on Suffering Travels. It’s fine if the other project team members don’t have such strong demands, but I think you should satisfy this requirement.”
“Therefore, what I’m thinking is that the other members of the project team will follow the replacement plan. Your core members will still go for Suffering Travels! Your standards and treatment might be higher than others but you have contributed a lot to the project team after all. I believe the others will not have any complaints.”
Sun Xi’s expression changed on the spot.
Finished!
What was Boss Zhou up to? Don’t scare me. My small heart cannot take such a beating!
Min Jingchao reacted quickly. He had trained in Tengda after all. He quickly said, “Boss Zhou, that’s very inappropriate!”
“As core members, all the more we cannot have special privileges. We should be closely associated with ordinary members. We will go wherever they go. We cannot make them special!”
Sun Xi also reacted and immediately chimed in. “Yes, Boss Zhou, we definitely won’t make it special. We have to suffer together with the other members of the project team!”
Zhou Muyan was still a little hesitant. “That’s not good. Actually, I think Suffering Travels is quite good. It’s just that it’s a little expensive. You guys strongly requested it back then…”
Min Jingchao quickly said, “No, no, no. We did not have strong requests at that time. We only mentioned it casually. Boss Zhou, don’t think too much about it. It doesn’t matter whether we go or not!”
Just as he was struggling internally, his cell phone rang.
The three of them stopped discussing for the time being. Obviously, Boss Zhou’s business was more important.
Zhou Muyan picked up the phone on the table. “Hello? Ah, yes, it’s me. You are…?”
“Oh, oh, oh, oh! I’ve heard a lot about you. I remember meeting you once before. Aiya, things have changed. What a pity.”
Min Jingchao and Sun Xi looked at each other silently, thinking that this was Boss Zhou’s old friend?
They were a little hesitant about whether to go out and avoid it. However, they did not leave after seeing that Boss Zhou did not seem to have that intention.
“What?”
“This… I had this plan before, but this price is a little beyond my budget, so…”
“Eh? Discount? Half price?!”
“Aiya, I have too many people… half price for all of them?”
“How can I? Thank you, thank you so much!”
“Sigh, alright, alright. I’ll definitely treat you to a drink when we come to Guangzhou one day!”
Min Jingchao was a little confused. What was Boss Zhou’s old friend talking about? Was he talking about what Boss Zhou wanted to buy from his old friend?
Zhou Muyan was all smiles. “That’s settled then. Leave a seat for me and help me wish Boss Pei well. Bye.”
Min Jingchao and Sun Xi’s hearts dropped when they heard the words “greet Boss Pei”.
Sh * t, sh * t. Something’s not right!
Boss Zhou, this so-called “friend that he had met once”…could it be…
Zhou Muyan was still grinning from ear to ear. “Alright, this problem has been resolved! You don’t have to suffer!”
“Jingchao, Bao Xu asked me to greet you.”
“He arranged for a 50% discount for the entire Bullet Hole 2 project team!”
