Chapter 1670: The Throne Is Empty
In the large conference room on the top floor of Tengda Corporation’s headquarters, the heads of the various departnts gathered and were briefly reporting the work situation of the various departnts.
Xin Hailu was hosting the eting.
According to the structure of the original person-in-charge eting, so decisions should have been made by Boss Pei. However, after Boss Pei was gone, the position of President had been empty. So decisions were made by the five higher-ups.
They were Xin Hailu, Ma Yang, Huang Sibo, Lu Mingliang, and ng Chang.
All five of them were now senior Vice-Presidents of the corporation. However, Xin Hailu’s status was higher while the other four represented different industries.
Huang Sibo was mainly representing the company’s cultural and creative industries, including the gas and film departnts.
Ma Yang represented the physical industries of the company, such as Fish-Catching Internet Cafe, Fish-Catching Take-Out, Deposit Fitness, and so on.
Lu Mingliang was in charge of the company’s accompanying service industries, such as Upwind Logistics, Sloth Apartnts, and so on. The difference with Ma Yang was that his main consideration was how these industries could generate greater social value. It did not matter if they lost money.
ng Chang’s situation was the most special. After paying all his debts, he won the general recognition of the people in charge with his series of contributions. ng Chang had obtained Boss Pei’s true teachings after all. What’s more, he personally had real talent.
ng Chang was mainly in charge of the company’s marketing.
However, ng Chang’s work function was not just to do a few publicity plans. Due to the special nature of Tengda Corporation, the publicity plan of a certain industry was closely related to the plan layout of the entire industry and the product ecology.
Therefore, ng Chang could have a certain impact on most departnts and had considerable power.
The positions of the other departnt heads might not be as good as these five people on the surface, but their words also had weight. If a certain resolution was strongly protested by so veteran person-in-charge, everyone would discuss it fully with the Tengda spirit and reach a consensus.
During this process, he could not guarantee that every decision he made was absolutely right. After all, the truth was in the hands of a small number of people.
However, overall, as long as everyone took their positions in Boss Pei and imagined how Boss Pei would make a decision if he was still sitting in the position of the President, the final decision would usually not be bad.
This was the first eting of the person-in-charge for the new year. It also ant that an entire year had passed since Boss Pei left Tengda Corporation.
During this year, Tengda Corporation did not have any problems. Not only did it develop rapidly, but it also developed faster and better than before!
Of course, no one would think that Boss Pei was dragging Tengda Corporation down. They would only think that Boss Pei had laid a good foundation for Tengda Corporation. Therefore, even if Boss Pei was not around, Tengda Corporation would continue to develop in the established direction!
The heads of the various departnts began to report the developnt results of the various departnts in the past year.
After Boss Pei went against everyone’s wishes and officially bought over Finger Gas and rged IOI and GOG, after a year of deep integration, these two gas beca indistinguishable. They beca the ga with the most players in the world and had beco a cultural phenonon.
After Finger Gas was rged, the workspace that was left behind was specialized in the developnt of overseas heroes. Coupled with the two gas combined, GOG had a large number of heroes that were loved by foreign players. That quickly seized the global market.
The global finals that were held in the second half of last year was unprecedented. The number of people watching the competition online at the sa ti had broken the previous record. This dominance in the future would continue and finally beco a special cultural symbol.
Tengda Corporation’s layout in the gas industry had also played an important role. The incubation base, Dawn Gas platform, and Dawn Gas ga editor had greatly improved the entire dostic ga environnt. Another batch of outstanding independent ga designers and outstanding ga works had appeared in the country.
Fei Huang Workspace continued filming movies. Sotis, they worked with Zhongdian Chinese Network’s outstanding works, and sotis they worked with the gas departnt.
In terms of food and beverage, naless restaurant, Fish-Catching Take-Out, snack market, and Cold-Faced Lady brands were developing rapidly, becoming a local chain. To a certain extent, they caused a sniper effect on foreign fast food brands and changed the eating habits of the Chinese.
Food delivery was no longer synonymous with unhealthy food. Instead, it had beco a new way of life.
Fish-Catching Internet Cafe, Deposit Fitness, Star Bird Virtual Sports Experience Store, and other physical shops had been opened all over the country, enriching people’s daily lives.
When Upwind Logistics and Fish-Catching Take-Out allowed many people to enjoy high-quality food and shopping experiences without leaving their houses, these physical shops encouraged people to leave their houses. To a certain extent, they improved the current state of the physical shops’ dispiritedness and stimulated the developnt of the physical economy.
The follow-up amusent park project of Thriller Hostel and the Cold and Warm Zoo was also being developed. According to Tengda Corporation’s plan, this place would beco a Tengda the park in the future. It would strive to recreate all of Tengda’s classic gas and movie IPs in the the park.
In the future, Tengda Corporation would also plan to build Tengda’s the park in Beijing, Shanghai, and other first-tier cities on the sa scale. They could even open the the park overseas and create different cultural landmarks for each city!
Apart from that, Sloth Apartnts, Extremist New Energetic Cars, Tengda experience shop, luxury clothing brands, Bunny Tail Live-Stream, TPDb website, Suffering Travels, Otto Technologies, Zhongdian Chinese Network, and other industries were also upgrading, providing better service to users.
Tengda Corporation had truly penetrated into the various fields of users’ food, clothing, food, and lodging. However, this depth was not infiltration or control, but comprehensive support and improvent.
Under the pressure of Tengda Corporation, the other internet companies had no choice but to make changes. In order to deal with Tengda Corporation’s pressure, they had no choice but to provide more conscientious services to users to reduce the collection of user information.
That was because they knew very well that once they went overboard and aroused public resentnt, Tengda Corporation would imdiately make a move and make them disappear completely.
If he wanted to survive, he had to provide relatively good services like Tengda Corporation to protect his image and reputation in the hearts of the people.
In the second half of last year, there was a trend saying that the Internet’s winter was coming.
That was normal. In the Internet age, the favor of capital caused these high-tech giants to start expanding disorderly. Behind this disorderly expansion was a money-burning war. It was a false high valuation that was to earn the last copper coin from users.
When the entire internet economy changed from an incrental era to a stock era, the Internet’s winter would definitely co. The entire industry would have to tighten their belt and live. They could not be as extravagant as before.
However, it did not affect Tengda Corporation much.
That was because even though Tengda Corporation had so internet industries, these industries had solid physical industries as support and were deeply supported by ordinary people.
It was precisely because of the generous accumulation and perfect organization structure that Tengda Corporation was not affected by this Internet winter. Instead, it was praised many tis and accepted other internet companies as an outstanding departnt!
The people in charge spoke their minds and resolutions were pushed forward quickly. The entire Tengda Corporation continued to advance according to the original track.
...
At that mont...
A young man in a baseball cap alighted from the car in Tengda Corporation’s underground carpark.
“Wait for here. I’ll be back in a while. Don’t inform anyone about my arrival.”
Little Sun nodded imdiately. “Alright, Boss Pei.”
Pei Qian walked out of the car.
He felt a little emotional when he returned to Tengda Corporation’s headquarters.
Before he left last year, the headquarters had not been completed. Tengda Corporation’s various departnts were still scattered in different offices in Jingzhou City.
He returned a year later. He had matured a lot during the past year of traveling. However, it seed like Tengda Corporation had changed more.
A huge headquarters building like that showed the outside world how rich Tengda Corporation was. It finally looked like a giant company.
Pei Qian walked towards the elevator, preparing to walk around the new headquarters building.
Half an hour later, he finally arrived at the first floor.
“Who is so wicked? They made a maze in the parking lot, but they could not find the way after walking for more than half an hour.”
“If soone who knew the way had not led here, I would have been trapped inside!”
“That’s not right. This seed to be my idea back then. That’s alright.”
Pei Qian walked around the maze of the underground carpark for more than half an hour. If he had not consciously trained his body in the past year, it would probably be impossible for him to visit the headquarters today with his weak body.
Fortunately, there was a balance car to ride after reaching the first floor.
Pei Qian rode the balanced car around the building and played so gas in the entertainnt area.
There were so places that required one to swipe their card to enter during this period. However, Pei Qian was already prepared. He had already obtained the highest-level access card. Naturally, these places were unimpeded.
Employees who walked past the company’s headquarters occasionally did not recognize Pei Qian.
After all, the old acquaintances that Boss Pei knew were the oldest batch of employees in the company. At that mont, they were either the person-in-charge of the departnt or the Vice-President of the company. They were all busy working in the office.
Pei Qian felt that this was quite good. He had not intended to tell others that he was back. He had only wanted to co and take a look at the new headquarters.
After walking around briefly, Pei Qian took the elevator to the President’s office on the top floor of the headquarters building.
After swiping his card and entering, Pei Qian was speechless.
The President’s office was very spacious. There were huge full-length windows that allowed one to see everything outside. The scenery was excellent. What’s more, this President’s office was obviously cleaned frequently. It was spotless, as if it was waiting for Boss Pei to co back and use it at any ti.
Yet...
The chair and desk in this empty President’s office were exactly the sa as the one in the ga ‘The Future You Choose’.
Pei Qian exclaid. Life was filled with surprises. Tengda Corporation was worthy of being an entertainnt company. It was filled with entertainnt spirit everywhere.
Pei Qian stood up and left after sitting in the huge seat for a while.
This office was very spacious and imposing, but he was not used to it. Relatively speaking, he preferred the working environnt at Shenhua View where he could get along with his employees.
He left the president’s office and slipped to other places on the sa floor to take a look. He found that there were no one in the Vice Presidents’ offices.
“Why isn’t anyone here? Oh, they might be in a eting.”
Pei Qian looked at the ti and realized that it might be the ti of the person-in-charge’s regular eting. Thus, there was no one in the Vice-President’s office.
He looked at the brands on these offices. Xin Hailu, Ma Yang, Huang Sibo, Lu Mingliang’s office, and ng Chang’s office were among them.
“I didn’t expect ng Chang to really beco the Vice-President of the company. It looks like smart people are smart. They might have taken the wrong path previously but as long as they correct it and recognize their mistakes, they can quickly walk the right path.”
Pei Qian had not specially instructed ng Chang to use it. However, the current Vice-President position of Tengda Corporation was occupied by the virtuous. As long as he had real talent and was recognized by the people in charge, he could take this position!
ng Chang was originally rejected by the people in charge. Now that he could beco Vice-President, it ant that he had contributed a lot to Tengda Corporation this year.
He had to admit that even though smart people like ng Chang were very dangerous when he did bad things, he could indeed make outstanding contributions after turning over a new leaf.
Pei Qian swiped his card at the door of ng Chang’s office and the door opened automatically.
Pei Qian’s card had the highest authority and could open any door. Of course, ng Chang’s Vice-President’s office was nothing.
In fact, Pei Qian had not intended to do anything at first. He had only co to take a look out of curiosity. If he turned around and left, ng Chang would not realize that he had been here.
In the end, he realized that there was a video editing project on the huge computer screen that was not related.
Obviously, ng Chang was doing this video editing project before the eting and did not have the ti to save and close it.
Pei Qian was a little curious. Logically speaking, as the person-in-charge of the publicity departnt and the Vice-President of the company, ng Chang should not need him to personally do things like editing videos, right?
Out of curiosity, Pei Qian leaned over and took a closer look at the title of the video and the synopsis in the docunt beside it.
“Young Master Tian?”
Pei Qian was shocked to find that this was Young Master Tian’s latest video.
He clicked on the folder where the video was in disbelief and realized that there were several more videos of Young Master Tian in front.
The video project that was being edited revealed a naked reality. Young Master Tian’s series of videos was made by ng Chang!
Pei Qian cursed in his heart.
“That’s not right. Wasn’t Young Master Tian’s video made by Tian Mo? It was confird at that ti. Even the person who edited his video had been found.”
“The two of them are sent on Suffering Travels. This matter is over.”
“What’s more, I asked ng Chang before. I asked him to guess who Young Master Tian was. He pointed out Tian Mo on the spot.”
“What’s going on? Could ng Chang be Young Master Tian?”
“But why did ng Chang co up with such a na?”
Pei Qian thought hard, fully utilizing his imagination. Suddenly, his eyes lit up.
“Young Master Tian? ng Tengjun?”
“F*ck! ng Chang, you scamr!”
Pei Qian wanted to cuss now that he knew the truth.
If he had not discovered the truth by chance, Tian Heiquan’s wrongs would probably never have been revealed.
Now that he thought about it, Tian Mo was really wronged. An honest person would take the bla for ng Chang.
What’s more, the most infuriating thing was that not only did ng Chang perfectly throw the bla away, but he was also not discovered and successfully escaped Boss Pei’s punishnt.
Pei Qian was furious. The consequences were dire.
He had to severely punish such evil behavior!
At that thought, Pei Qian took a pen and paper from the side and wrote a few words.
“You have take responsibility by going for three months of Suffering Travels and Thriller Hostel.”
Then, he signed his na.
Pei Qian’s words were not very pretty but the style was relatively obvious. These people in charge should be able to recognize him, let alone ng Chang.
Suffering Travels and Thriller Hostel would take three months each. In less than half a year, it should be enough to achieve the punishnt effect on ng Chang.
At that thought, Pei Qian turned around and left ng Chang’s office with guilt towards Tian Mo.
He closed ng Chang’s office door but forgot to close the president’s office door as well.
...
The person-in-charge was done with his eting after about half an hour. ng Chang returned to his office.
The person-in-charge would make him a little tired. He did not return to his desk imdiately. Instead, he sat down in the armchair used for eting and rested.
ng Chang’s thoughts gradually cleared up.
“Sigh, after entering Tengda Corporation, I deeply realized how ignorant I was previously.”
“At first, I thought that it would be enough as long as I could cheat so investors’ money. However, after seeing Boss Pei, I realized what a true hero is.”
“Creating a monster like Tengda Corporation is the hero’s job.”
“It’s just that these people in charge of Tengda Corporation seem a little pedantic without the super genius leader Boss Pei.”
“Boss Pei has been gone for an entire year without any news. If Boss Pei really doesn’t co back, can I sit as the President of Tengda Corporation one day?”
ng Chang had always been an ambitious and capable person.
Previously, Boss Pei had been suppressing him in Tengda Corporation. He could only do things carefully and did not dare to have any wishful thinking.
However, Boss Pei was no longer around. Naturally, he had other thoughts.
In his opinion, the other people in charge of the company were very capable but they did not have much ambition. Many decisions that could make Tengda Corporation develop faster were rejected by these people in charge.
The reason for this rejection was that this did not et Boss Pei’s expectations and the Tengda spirit.
ng Chang agreed on the surface but he was more or less disapproving internally.
Of course, given Tengda Corporation’s current structure, no matter how much money Tengda Corporation earned, it would not be directly linked to the inco of the person-in-charge. They could only use the company’s funds to make projects according to the company’s regulations.
However, ng Chang was not asking for money because Fan Xiaodong and him could earn money through other thods.
ng Chang wanted to beco Boss Pei’s successor and the new leader of Tengda Corporation. Such a social status and admiration from everyone was what he wanted.
Therefore, ng Chang was obviously the relatively radical among the many people in charge.
Of course, his thoughts would be boycotted by the other person-in-charge, so ng Chang did not dare to make it too obvious. He could only consider slowly realizing his goal through subtle ans.
At that thought, ng Chang stood up and returned to his desk, intending to complete Young Master Tian’s new video.
However, at that mont, he saw the piece of white paper on the desk.
There was a line of words written on it.
“You have take responsibility by going for three months of Suffering Travels and Thriller Hostel.”
ng Chang nearly jumped up in fright when he saw this line of words. He looked as if he had seen a ghost and his face turned pale.
He looked around in horror, and then at the note in his hand. He double-checked that it was indeed Boss Pei’s handwriting.
ng Chang clearly rembered that there was no note on the table before he went to the person-in-charge eting. In other words, Boss Pei had visited the company during this period and entered his office, leaving this note.
ng Chang looked at his computer desktop very nervously and realized that Boss Pei might have seen sothing in his computer.
He could only say that this highlighted the importance of setting a computer screen lock password.
ng Chang did not set up a lock screen password, mainly because the office door had to be swiped with his card to open. He was not worried that others would sneak into his office.
However, he did not expect Boss Pei, who had the highest authority, to return!
ng Chang could not help but tremble with fear as he read the words.
It was obviously a very serious punishnt to go to Suffering Travels and Thriller Hostel for three months each. ng Chang could even vaguely feel that Boss Pei seed to be suppressing his anger when he wrote this line.
Why was Boss Pei angry?
ng Chang was flustered.
If ordinary people were to think that there was nothing else in the office but Young Master Tian’s video on the computer screen, they would naturally think that Boss Pei was angry because he saw Young Master Tian’s video.
However, the problem was that ng Chang knew that Boss Pei knew that he was Young Master Tian. What’s more, he had tacitly allowed it.
That ant that Boss Pei had no reason to be angry about this.
“Could it be that Boss Pei saw so of my work content in my computer? He noticed signs of my thoughts moving?”
ng Chang felt like he had fallen into an ice cave and was shocked.
His thoughts had been buried in the bottom of his heart and he had never spoken to anyone.
Of course, ng Chang did not want to subvert Tengda Corporation. However, the perfect route in his mind was different from the route that Boss Pei had planned and the routes that the other people in charge wanted to take.
ng Chang did not dare or could not really let Tengda walk the path of capital. However, so of his personal ideas and ambitions would drive him to make decisions that were relatively deviated from the Tengda spirit in certain fields.
He might not have spoken these thoughts very clearly but he would more or less show so clues in so work content.
ng Chang was very sure that Boss Pei must have seen his work content and captured the signs of this thinking loosening from it. That was why he was very disappointed in ng Chang and made such a punishnt request!
The three months of punishnt for Suffering Travels and Thriller Hostel did not look light, but this punishnt also ant that Boss Pei had given ng Chang a chance to turn over a new leaf. Otherwise, the note would have asked ng Chang to resign.
ng Chang slumped in his chair, feeling like he had just walked through the gate to hell.
That familiar feeling was back!
Every ti he tried to act smart and do sothing, he would realize that nothing could escape Boss Pei’s eyes.
“Boss Pei is so scary.”
“He said that he would not pay attention to the company after leaving Tengda Corporation. However, in fact, the every move of the company and even the subtle changes in my heart did not escape Boss Pei’s eyes!”
“The good thing is that the cri this ti is not big. Boss Pei saved so face.”
ng Chang felt a wave of fear. He imdiately put away his dangerous thoughts and called Fan Xiaodong.
He decided to donate 70% of the inco that he had invested in the outside world to the First Aid Plan!
He had no choice. Since Boss Pei had already caught him red-handed, he could only get rid of his money and express his loyalty to Boss Pei.
As the biggest charity event in Tengda, the First Aid Plan had been carried out in a low profile. Its coverage had expanded from Handong Province to most villages in the country.
Many children would have the opportunity to continue learning and study deeper because of this plan. Many children would also have the nutrition of at eggs during the critical period of growth because of this plan.
In the future, the initial plan would continue to expand and help more people.
However, until now, the initial financial plan had not been exposed widely. Tengda Corporation had not done much publicity either.
ng Chang felt that Boss Pei might have wanted to use the preliminary plan as a trump card against Tengda Alliance.
At the critical mont of the battle of public opinion, the exposure of this charity plan might turn the situation around.
However, the anti-Tengda Alliance was too lousy and useless.
Of course, this was only ng Chang’s guess. Or perhaps Boss Pei only wanted to do charity without any intention of exposing it. He even deliberately avoided letting others know.
Given Tengda’s current situation, it was no longer lacking in good reputation.
Since that was the case, it was better to keep a low profile. What did it matter if others knew about it?
ng Chang finally felt relieved after arranging all of this.
Boss Pei’s words and actions always put huge pressure on him, making him feel like his cleverness was seen through by Boss Pei.
At that mont, he heard discussions outside.
ng Chang left his office and found Xin Hailu, Huang Sibo, Lu Mingliang, Ma Yang, and the others gathered at the door of the president’s office.
On the other hand, the door to the president’s office that would only open when soone was cleaning regularly every morning was open. There was no one inside.
The other Vice Presidents were shocked.
“Who opened this door?”
“Could Boss Pei have returned?”
“But why didn’t Boss Pei close the door when he left? Is he hinting sothing to us?”
ng Chang ca to everyone and said, “Yes, Boss Pei is back.”
“I think Boss Pei opened the door on purpose to send us a ssage.”
“He wants to tell us: I’m watching you.”
“Or perhaps hinting to always rember the last scene in ‘The Future You Choose’!”
Everyone nodded seriously.
Even lthough Boss Pei had not visited the office for an entire year, no one would suspect that he did not have absolute control over the office.
Tengda Corporation was Boss Pei’s hard work, and it was also Boss Pei’s dream laboratory. How could Boss Pei really not care?
It was just like so emperors in the ancient tis. They did not go to the court for many years, but that did not an that they knew nothing about what happened in the court. On the contrary, they would definitely use other thods to maintain the operation of the entire dynasty.
Of course, Boss Pei was definitely not an incapable ruler. He had a special purpose for leaving Tengda Corporation. He also had a special purpose for watching Tengda Corporation from another perspective.
No one spoke in that mont. Everyone had different thoughts.
This huge boss chair looked a little like a throne. Its backrest was very high, and its armrest was very large. Behind it was a huge full-length window. The entire Tengda Corporation’s scenery could be seen.
However, the huge throne was empty.
This scene seed to be similar to the last scene in the movie, but everyone knew that Tengda Corporation would not go down this path in reality.
That was because Boss Pei would always be watching silently in an invisible corner.
