Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

Chapter 1310: Adjustment of Members For The Second Season Of Suffering Travel

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

November 12th, Monday morning…

Pei Qian arrived at his office as usual and began his new week of work.

It was quite lively watching GOG and IOI’s international competition last weekend, but there was nothing worth memorizing.

These two competitions were still in the group stages after all. In order to take care of the various competition zones around the world, there were many new teams and new faces. Their standards were uneven. It was inevitable that their competitive standards would fall.

Of course, speaking of which, even though the group stages might not be as good as GPL and ICL in domestic leagues, it was a collision between different competition zones after all. It was not a pleasure to watch their own team torture noobs.

At first, Pei Qian was worried that Finger Games would not make the international competition very shabby in order to save money, right?

After watching the competition, Pei Qian realized that he had been overthinking. They were not that stupid.

Obviously, Dayak Corporation and Finger Games knew very well that the international competition was a problem on the surface. They could not be muddle-headed. Thus, the standard this time was almost the same as GOG’s international invitational tournament. Even the food and accommodation conditions that were relatively stretched last year had been made up.

All in all, the competition had only started not long ago. Apart from watching the competition online and GOG’s schedule, which had obvious advantages, there was not much gap between the two competitions in other places.

Pei Qian did not ask IOI to surpass them. He would maintain his current state until the end of the competition. Then, everything would be fine. He could burn incense.

The first thing Pei Qian did after work was to think of the name list for the second season of the torturous trip.

The first season was about to end. The people in charge were going to return. They had to hurry up and finalize the second season’s name list. It was difficult to connect seamlessly since Bao Xu had to rest after all. It would take time for the other people in charge to hand over work and gather. However, overall, the sooner the better.

A good place like Suffering Travels had to have people suffering at any time. That would be the best use of resources!

There was a list on the computer. It was the first draft that Pei Qian had decided on last week.

However, from the looks of it now, he could make some minor adjustments to the first draft.

The first name list for the first Suffering Travels was: Hu Xianbin, Xiao Peng, Rui Yuchen, Ye Zhizhou, Shen Renjie, Guo Licheng, He Desheng, Chen Yufeng, and Ma Yiqun.

The name list for the second season was originally set to include Zhu Xiaoce, Zhang Yuan, Wang Xiaobin, Chang You and Jiang Yuan of Otto Technologies, Yu Pingan of Useful App, Chen Yufeng of Bunny Tail Live-Stream, Qi Yan of Cold-Faced Lady, Hao Yun of the HR department, Li Yaling of Deposit Fitness.

Compared to the list for the first, the biggest feature of the second was that there were three more female people in charge.

If women could take up half of the sky, why couldn’t they attend Suffering Travels?

Men and women had to be equal!

Of course, he had to take care of them to a certain extent considering the difference in physical conditions between men and women.

Thus, he arranged for Li Yaling to go with him.

Logically speaking, Li Yaling should only be a coach in DGE, giving lessons to the players of other clubs from time to time. She would not make much money for the company and would not be dangerous.

However, she was a professional fitness trainer after all. This time, she went on a suffering trip. If she adapted well, he would transfer her to the suffering trip and arrange for the women to be in charge.

After all, DGE Club did not need her anymore. Talents like Yaling had to be arranged where they needed her the most.

The training content of the male and female in charge could be different, but the suffering spirit had to be treated equally!

Soon, Qi Yan and Hao Yun would probably be grateful that they were on the list for the second season.

That was because this was the first time he was bringing a female in charge to suffer. They would definitely show more restrain.

After some time, Bao Xu and Li Yaling would be able to figure out how difficult it was for women to suffer. Then, they would probably suffer even more.

These two heroes among women made Pei Qian very cautious.

Qi Yan’s Cold-Faced Lady had entered a high-speed development period after being cleared up by a series of events, especially with Fish-Catching Take-Out. The delivery men were shared, the menu was also shared, and with good taste and publicity, the branches were opening very quickly.

Pei Qian could almost see the possibility of Fish-Catching Take-Out’s tragedy happening again.

However, he could not do anything about it. He could only hope that Qi Yan would restrain herself after suffering.

As for Hao Yun’s HR department, Pei Qian felt that something was amiss with it. It was slightly different from what he had expected.

The HR department could be said to be the culprit especially when it came to misinterpreting his own spirit.

Pei Qian struggled with Hao Yun and Wu Bin for a long time about the specific candidates. However, on further thought, Hao Yun was the person-in-charge. Wu Bin had to share some of the blame. You were not managing your subordinates well!

You can go and suffer this time. I’ll arrange for Wu Bin next time.

Other than that, Pei Qian had always wanted to send Zhu Xiaoce and Wang Xiaobin over. They were among the top few on the list.

Zhu Xiaoce had been hiding behind Huang Sibo the entire time. It was ridiculous that he could remain so reserved until now.

Wang Xiaobin was in a similar situation. Ye Zhizhou had already been there. It was definitely his turn next.

Chang You and Jiang Yuan were quite destructive at Otto Technologies. They could pack up and go together. They could take care of each other on the way.

As for Yu Pingan with the Useful APP, Pei Qian was quite satisfied with him at first. However, recently, he felt that his path had gone a little astray. He had to send him on a suffering trip to wake him up. He would change if he had to.

As for Chen Yufeng… Even though Bunny Tail Live-Stream was doing well, that was mainly because Pei Qian’s own wisdom and prowess as well as Old Ma’s presence had nothing to do with Chen Yufeng.

On the other hand, Chen Yufeng was a huge unstable factor that needed to be treated with the Suffering Travels.

There was a special situation here: Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yuan was originally the person-in-charge of DGE Club and E-Sports Industry. He could not escape no matter what with GOG’s international invitational tournament.

Thus, Pei Qian had long arranged for him to be in second place on the list, second only to Zhu Xiaoce. It was obvious how much he valued him.

However, after watching Zhang Yuan sing yesterday, Pei Qian changed his mind.

All of a sudden, he felt that even though this guy did not do anything, his attitude towards entertaining the masses seemed to be better than other people in charge.

He could remove his name from the list first, postpone it, and observe it.

Of course, apart from Zhang Yuan, there were other people in charge who did not appear on the list at all.

For example, Chen Kangtuo and Hao Qiong of Thriller Hostel, Lu Mingliang of Upwind Logistics, Liang Qingfan of Sloth Apartments, and people who took the initiative or became peripheral personnel for various reasons, such as Qiu Hong, Min Jingchao, Li Yada, and the others.

These people had either worked hard for Pei Qian’s loss-incurring plan or their positions were important and irreplaceable. Some of them had already been sent out and were not in the way. Their priority could be postponed.

Of course, there was a strong subjective factor in this list. Take Chen Kangtuo of Thriller Hostel for example. Pei Qian felt that it was already quite miserable for him to be hanging around the haunted house every day. He had more or less earned some money but the priority of sending him to suffer was not so high.

Pei Qian thought about the general situation and realized that he had too many people to arrange. Two seasons were not enough for him to complete the arrangements for the person-in-charge.

What if he included the core members, core members, and core members of the various departments?

Good lord, it was hard to imagine.

It looked like he had to make Suffering Travels a norm. Otherwise, he would not be able to keep up with the speed at which Tengda’s talents were emerging.

After some consideration, Pei Qian decided to remove Zhang Yuan, Yu Pingan, and Li Yaling from this list.

Zhang Yuan’s mentality was worth encouraging, and Yu Pingan was not that dangerous.

Li Yaling still had to go, but she would no longer be a member. Instead, she would be sent along as a staff member. She would be put in charge of training, taking care of the female in-charge, and assigning training volumes based on the female’s physical condition.

That way, there would be three empty seats.

Pei Qian thought about bluffing a few people in from the outside world.

Qiao Liang, Ruan Guangjian, Li Shi, Lin Chang, Xue Zhebin, these were all old enemies. There was also Yao Bo from the Jinding Corporation. He had helped a lot back then regarding the experience shop.

These people could be arranged on the list.

Of course, the chances of them being fooled were not high. However, he would bluff as many as he could and fill up the remaining three slots.

Pei Qian sorted out the name list and nodded in satisfaction.

They could start preparing now. After the first batch of people returned from the torturous trip, they would immediately connect with the second batch seamlessly!

In any case, the first month was indoor training in Jingzhou. To Bao Xu, it was more tiring but he was obviously enjoying it.

He had just saved the name list when he heard a knock on his office door.

Pei Qian looked up. It was Li Yada.

“What’s wrong? Is something wrong with Dawn Games platform?” Pei Qian was instantly alerted.

However, on further thought, even if something was happening on the gaming platform, Tang Yishu should be the one coming, right?

Li Yada explained, “Boss Pei, I’m not here for the games platform. I’m here to report on an investment plan for a game project.”

“He Desheng should have reported this to me, but after I went to Dream Realization Ventures, I realized… he’s still in Shennongjia.”

Pei Qian was a little surprised. “The investment plan for the game? Let me take a look.”

Li Yada handed him an investment proposal and a risk analysis report that she had written.

“‘Shu Li’?”

Pei Qian looked at the title of the game and felt that it was a little unfamiliar. It did not look like the type that would become popular.

However, Pei Qian instinctively became wary of the games that Li Yada recommended.

After all, she was Tengda Games’ third-generation heir. Pei Qian could not trust Li Yada’s foresight.

After flipping through the documents, Pei Qian felt like he was nodding off.

The information was very complicated.

It looked like a game similar to Repent and be Saved. Had the system changed beyond recognition? The four support systems of Confucianism and Daoism, the background story of the war in troubled times, the rampage of demons, and the dozens of endings after this arrangement…

It was a little foggy.

More importantly, be it the proposal or the risk analysis report written by Li Yada, the terms were more refined. The content was quite complete but not that detailed.. Many of the contents were summarised.
