Losing Money to Be a Chapter 343 - Things were Not So Simple!

Chapter 343 Things were Not So Simple!

November 29th, Monday…

Pei Qian arrived at Tengda and began his patrols as per usual. The mont he entered, he felt a different atmosphere in the office compared to before. As for what exactly was different…

On closer inspection, Pei Qian realized that everyone seed to be much busier than usual.

“Have you fixed the bug we talked about earlier?”

“Yes, I have.”

“Why is it appearing again, then?”

“It can’t be… let

check. That’s not right; I’ve already submitted it!”

“Holy sh*t, why are there bugs even in Repent and be Saved?!”

It was a chaotic scene.

From the looks of the situation, bugs were not only appearing in GOG, which had just been developed. Instead, deeply-hidden bugs were appearing even in earlier gas like Repent and be Saved and Ga Designer.

Everyone beca extrely distraught by the appearance of these bugs. They no longer looked as calm as before.

Pei Qian could not help but smile.

Good! Very good!

Having bugs ant that the research and developnt process would be delayed. The ga would also require much more work than they had initially expected.

Pei Qian’s requirent for the research and developnt process was very simple. They just had to finish it within the System’s stipulated ti.

However, as the company developed more gas, it earned more funds and everyone gained more research and developnt experience. Thus, Tengda Gas’ efficiency improved along the way as well.

That gave rise to a very awkward problem for Pei Qian.

Pei Qian had initially planned for research and developnt to take more than four months, but it was complete in just over three!

That ant they had another month extra.

What was Pei Qian to do?

The ga was already done. Pei Qian could not possibly have stopped it from being released, right? There was no good reason for him to do so. Thus, he had to tearfully release the ga early.

However, bugs had suddenly appeared in the ga now. The team needed more ti to work on them, and Pei Qian had a reason to push back the ga’s official release.

He could aim for the ga to be released a week before settlent, so that he could forego an entire month’s worth of revenue!

That was too important. Foregoing a month’s worth of revenue could potentially save Pei Qian’s life!

At that thought, Pei Qian grabbed Glabellalaying on the ground for its afternoon napand forcefully patted it. Then, satisfied, he walked into his office.

Indeed, Pei Qian felt much more relaxed after adding the halo effect to the company! Tang Yishu had been reading at her work desk when she saw Pei Qian walking towards her. She thought he had instructions for her at first, but Pei Qian ended up walking past her without saying a single word.

She opened her mouth, as if to say sothing, but felt too embarrassed to stop Pei Qian midway. Thinking that she would have many opportunities to speak to him in the future, she decided that she would ask her questions next ti.

Glabella, whose afternoon nap had been disrupted, ran to Tang Yishu’s legs and started owing as if trying to show its displeasure or cursing Pei Qian.

Pei Qian had just sat down for a while when he heard a knock on his office door.

Hao Yun walked in and said, “Boss Pei, preparation for the recruitnt examinations has been more or less completed.

“The papers have been set and sealed away. The seals would only be removed on the day of the examination.

“We’ve booked an auditorium in a hotel to hold the examinations. The hotel will set it up in the examination format on the day itself. It’ll be able to hold hundreds of people.

“As you had instructed earlier, we have also booked accommodation for applicants coming from other cities.

“We’ve also discussed with the postgraduate students from Handong University regarding invigilation and marking of the papers. Their remuneration has been set for three hundred yuan per day. “If there are no other questions or issues, we can set the date and make the relevant announcents.”

Pei Qian nodded. “Thank you.”

Actually, he was not that anxious about recruitnt. However, the HR departnt had been extrely efficient throughout the entire process. Everything had been put together much quicker than he had expected.

All in all, the preparation had taken them less than a month.

Although Tengda’s recruitnt inbox was practically overflowing, Pei Qian guessed that not many people would co down to take the examinations.

That was because Pei Qian had created too long a process. After taking the examinations, applicants would have to wait for the papers to be marked. After the results were released, applicants would be called to attend interviews. Only after the results of those were out would applicants be considered selected by Tengda.

Yet, even then, they had to pass the Tengda Spirit compatibility test.

The entire process was written very clearly on the recruitnt website where applicants had to print their entry proof. Foreign applicants looking for a job at Tengda would have to travel back and forth at least twice-once for the written examinations and another for the interview.

Although Tengda would cover their accommodation fees, they still had to waste a considerable amount of ti.

Since many applicants were already working at another job, they would find it difficult to apply for leave. Furthermore, even if they expended all the necessary ti and effort, they could end up failing and wasting it all.

Applicants with rich working experience would not be more advantaged compared to fresh graduates in a recruitnt process like this. Thus, their willingness to be put through the process would likely be significantly reduced.

Thus, the first recruitnt drive would likely not be large-scale.

Pei Qian glanced at the calendar. “Let’s set it for next Monday. It may be a bit rushed, but we can’t drag this any further. We have to try and finish the recruitnt process by December.”

If they delayed it any further, companies would have held their year-end etings and distributed the year-end bonuses. In other words, more people would seek to switch jobs, and there would be more talents in the market.

Hao Yun nodded. “Alright, Boss Pei. I’ll set a ti based on your instructions and send an announcent to the applicants.”

Imdiately after Hao Yun left, Li Yada entered.

“Boss Pei, there are two things I need to ask you.

“First, more and more bugs have been appearing in our gas for so reason. What’s more, they’re not just appearing in our new ga, GOG. They’re also appearing in our earlier gas… “Can we allow our design team to work overti over these few days?”

Instinctively, Pei Qian wanted to turn down the request. However, on second thought, he realized that slowing down the entire research and developnt process could prevent the ga from being released before settlent.

He was allowed to leave one project unreleased during this cycle, but there were other projects which would possibly not be completed in ti such as the cell phone.

Thus, he had to make sure that settlent would not be delayed as a result of the ga’s research and developnt progress.

Pei Qian nodded. “Alright, ease up the overti limit, but make sure you keep track of how much everyone is working. This won’t just be for the sake of distributing overti pay; we also have to make sure everyone has enough rest. We have to strike a good work-life balance, understand?”

It looked like Tang Yishu’s halo effect was not only slowing down the ga’s research and developnt but also allowing Boss Pei to distribute more overti pay. It was so worth it!

Li Yada nodded. “Alright. The second thing is that Big Boss Ruan Guangjian is intending to co to Jingzhou. Should we house him?”

Pei Qian frowned.

Ruan Guangjian?

There was no need to flip his little notebook to confirm this; he was Pei Qian’s second target after Teacher Qiao.

“What’s he coming to Jingzhou for?” Pei Qian asked.

Li Yada explained, “We have been working with him all this ti, right? We’re also working with him to design GOG’s characters now.

“However, while designing our heroes, Ruan Guangjian increasingly felt that long-distance communication was inefficient and inadequate for explaining a lot of details. He beca worried that he would not fully capture our ideas for our heroes.

“After all, this ga would be different from all the others. Designing original heroes would be much more complicated as well since Ruan Guangjian has no existing images to refer to. The slightest difference could lead to huge losses.

“That was why he decided to co over to improve communication. He could even visit you while he’s in the city.”

Once again, Pei Qian was at a loss for words.

“We’ll host him; of course, we’ll host him! Book Ming Yun Private Kitchen and all the roller coaster rides! These exciting activities can give him more inspiration for sure!

“Don’t inform him about it either. Let it be a surprise!”

Li Yada was shocked. “Oh… alright.”

Pei Qian leaned back in his chair, obviously pleased with himself.

Ruan Guangjian is coming to Jingzhou? Hmph, watch how I set you up once you arrive in my territory!

Pei Qian watched more shows for a while and began to feel bored. There hadn’t been much for him to do recently. That was because nothing had been produced, and he could not interfere in anything.

The only project he could oversee was Fei Huang Workspace’s production of the movie. He could cause so trouble there.

However, a careless ‘word of advice’ from Pei Qian had helped improve Lu Zhiyao’s performance last week. Now, he did not dare to return.

Pei Qian felt lancholic.

All of a sudden, he recalled Tang Yishu and wondered if the little girl was getting used to working in the company. Harboring genuine concern for his employees, Pei Qian sent a ssage to Tang Yishu, asking her to co into the office.

Half a minute later, a figure appeared outside his door. She reluctantly reached out and then put her hand down again as if she was plucking up the courage just to knock on the door.

“Co in,” said Pei Qian. Tang Yishu carefully pushed the door open and walked in with her head lowered. While pinching her fingers nervously, she greeted Pei Qian. “S-Senior.”

“The down jacket looks quite nice.” Pei Qian casually praised her. “Are you getting used to working here?”

Tang Yishu nodded and softly replied, “Yes, it’s just that… I have nothing much to do.”

Pei Qian pondered for a mont and realized that it was probably true.

Cats generally did not require much attention or care. All Tang Yishu had to do was clear its poop once and feed it twice every day.

Unlike dogs, cats did not have to be walked or bathed.

After so consideration, Pei Qian said, “If you see stray cats outside in the future, you can bring them into the office as well. Of course, you must first bring them to the vet to be vaccinated and rid of any fleas. If you need to incur any expenses, feel free to report it to the finance departnt.”

Tang Yishu answered, “A-Alright, Senior.”

Pei Qian was rely using Tang Yishu to produce the halo effect. At the mont, it looked like it was working pretty well. The money was very well-spent. Since Tang Yishu was feeling bored, Pei Qian did not mind taking in more cats. In any case, they would only produce a bit more poop. It wouldn’t make much of a difference to Tang Yishu.

Pei Qian was just about to ask Tang Yishu to go back to work when he realized that she was looking quite conflicted. It looked like she wanted to say sothing, but she was also holding back her words.

“Do you have sothing to say?”

Tang Yishu hesitated for a couple of seconds and finally plucked up the courage to speak. “Senior, do people in this company try to steal business secrets?”

“Steal business secrets?” Pei Qian looked shocked for a mont, and then he smiled. “What are you thinking about? You don’t have to worry about this at all.”

Tang Yishu heaved a huge sigh of relief. “Alright. That’s all I had to say, Senior. I-I’m going back to work.”

Pei Qian could not help but smile and shake his head as he watched Tang Yishu leave his office.

This girl was really simple and honest. She must have watched too many dramas to think that people in the company would steal business secrets. They were just an ordinary gas company. What kind of business secrets were there to steal…?

Pei Qian went back to watching his shows. All of a sudden, he realized that there was a problem.

“That’s not right. Tang Yishu had only started work last week. Why would she be worried about others stealing business secrets?

“Had she noticed soone acting sneakily?

“That’s not right either. On normal days, everyone would be working hard at their desks. No matter who Tang Yishu noticed, she would probably not think that they were stealing business secrets, right?

“Why did she suspect that soone was stealing business secrets?

“…Wait a mont. Did she see soone over the weekend?”

All of a sudden, Pei Qian realized that things were not as simple as they seed!
