Losing Money to Be a Chapter 119 - It is Destined that the Speaker will be Misund

Chapter 119: It is Destined that the Speaker will be Misunderstood

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Teacher Qiao started analyzing the deeper intentions of Ga Designer.

The voice-over represented one’s greed and other’s opinions on their path forward.

The ga created an ‘imrsive’ feeling via the first-person narrative and the surroundings. At the sa ti, it created a ‘distanced’ feeling using the voice-over. This atmosphere was truly worth reflecting on for the players.

The choices that the player faced each ti completely duplicated the thoughts of ga designers. Once one had played the ga, one would then understand how hard being a ga designer was!

Other than that, Teacher Qiao had elevated the intentions of the ga to another level.

“When playing the ga, I felt that it resonated deeply with . Why is that so? I have never had any experience relating to producing gas. When I probed into that, I realized that was due to the similarities between producing videos and producing gas.

“Or rather, almost all cultural content creators had the sa ntality.

“Loneliness.

“As the saying goes, it is destined that the speaker will be misunderstood. The content in Ga Designer showcased this point. The performance art outside the ga itself showcased that, too.

“Maybe, this is Tengda’s motive for producing this ga. They may have already predicted that the sales numbers will be a disaster and that they will not be able to recuperate their loss. However, they hope that they could achieve one thing: they want us to find serenity in this impetuous world. They want us to do things patiently and think patiently as well.

“Where did we co from, and where will we head to? In this impetuous society that we are in, how should we live? What exactly should we be pursuing?”

After watching this video, the viewers before their screens all sank into complete silence. So… that was what happened?

The ending question in the video pounded on their hearts like a heavy hamr.

When they saw Teacher Qiao’s previous video, many thought that Teacher Qiao was a monkey; and they were the audience to his antics. Right now, they realized that it was actually the reverse. Everything was the reverse!

The viewers were the monkeys, and Teacher Qiao was the one playing with them!

A sponsored video that was so stupid and dubious managed to deceive all its viewers and created a new —’Qiao-logy’! All the viewers and netizens participated in this performance art unwittingly. After an experint, the results were disappointing.

These were the netizens that would ride the wave without thinking deeper!

Very soon, the number of likes for the video skyrocketed. The number of comnts increased exponentially, too!

Originally, ‘Qiao-logy’ had beco a trend that was in fashion. Many netizens wanted to show off their ‘Qiao-logy’ and keep up with the gossip when they heard that Teacher Qiao had uploaded a new video.

Therefore, this episode received a lot of attention from the very beginning! When the viewers discovered the ‘truth’ behind the video, their ntalities turned 180 degrees. This could be seen from the comnts.

“What the f*ck? This is actually a large-scale performance art?”

“Why had ga companies beco so… ‘innovative’?”

“I’m sorry, my dearest son. Dad had misunderstood you. I will like and forward your video imdiately!”

“Teacher Qiao, a contemporary artist!”

“It is destined that the speaker will be misunderstood. I’m crying. What about you guys?”

“I have never expected that Ga Designer had such deep intentions. I’ll give it another try!”

Of course, so people thought that Teacher Qiao was trying to whitewash his reputation. However, those voices were quickly buried by other comnts. That was because Teacher Qiao’s explanation was more reasonable and appealed to the netizens’ understanding!

Once the episode was released, many players who had originally quitted the ga halfway decided to be patient and give it another try. Those who had yet to experience the Ga Designer because of their distaste previously also decided to try it out. They wanted to see if the ga that Teacher Qiao called a ‘masterpiece’ lived up to the title.

Swan Lake Restaurant…

Tengda Network Technology Co., Ltd. was having a company dinner celebration! Dinner celebrations after a ga was developed and released had beco a tradition for the company since Ocean Stronghold.

As for the reason why they chose the sa restaurant…

They had no choice. It was the most expensive restaurant in the entire Jingzhou City. Pei Qian had wanted to fly to Beijing to have an even better al, and yet the system did not allow him to do so.

He could only settle with this.

Pei Qian walked between the tables with a glass of red wine in his hand. He found that the others did not seem very excited. This was normal. The sales records for Ga Designer had co to a standstill. How could they be in the mood for a dinner celebration?

This was different from the previous ti.

Previously, they had the company dinner imdiately after the release of Ocean Stronghold. They did not have much psychological pressure at that ti and could hence enjoy their food. However, this ti around, Ga Designer had been released for three days; and the sales numbers and reputation were both lower than their expectations.

Therefore, other than Pei Qian, the rest were unable to eat to their hearts’ content.

“This is our cohesion event! You guys should be enjoying yourselves! Why do I feel that you guys are in low spirits? Is the food not up to your expectations? Since you guys are in such low spirits, you should order the most expensive things on the nu. Waiter! I’ll order three plates of bluefin tunas for everyone!

“My dear employees, you should be setting a good example. You have co here before and know what’s expensive. Don’t let

see anyone hugging and eating from a tub of ice cream!

“Furthermore, this is Ma Yiqun, our new mber. He had great qualifications and is very knowledgeable. Make sure you guys take care of him, do you understand?”

Pei Qian was full of energy and seed as though he had received good news. He was busy entertaining his employees and making sure that they were having a good ti.

So people were not drinking wine?

It’s okay. Boss Pei would raise his glass wherever he went. It was hard for the employees to turn down their boss’s toast.

Of course, Pei Qian’s toast was a completely different concept from normal drinking cultures.

In traditional drinking cultures, the act of encouraging one to drink—especially when a leader forced his employees to drink—was to establish a sense of authority. The purpose was to make the employees feel miserable from drinking too much and therefore establish this submissive relationship.

However, that was not Pei Qian’s motive.

They were drinking red wine which was less likely to make people drunk. Moreover, Pei Qian did not set a requirent for how much they had to drink. It was acceptable if his employees rely sipped a mouth.

His main purpose was to encourage them to eat more food. Everyone’s mood was a little down. Drinking so wine would increase their appetite and could ease their moods. Of course, after a few rounds of drinks, the mood evidently turned for the better!

Pei Qian was very happy. He got so delicious food for himself and started eating to his heart’s content.

He had never been so happy in ages!

Up to this point, everything was going smoothly. The internet cafe was losing about three hundred thousand yuan each month. There were no signs of any possible profits.

Although the short video beca popular, he had declined all those little sponsored partnerships. He had yet to receive any bigger customized requests. Therefore, the revenue was zero.

The reputation of Ga Designer was alright, and so were its sales figures. According to the current trend, there was no way the ga would be able to recuperate its loss!

Pei Qian felt that his food seed even more delicious due to that thought.

Happy!
