Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

Chapter 1441: Could Boss Pei be Targeting Me?

At the same time, Pei Qian had just finished watching the video from the sales department that Meng Chang had shared.

This video would definitely not reach the level of large enterprise promotional videos in terms of quality.

That was because that was not what Pei Qian wanted from Meng Chang.

The reason why he wanted this video was mainly to catch the mole and find out the person who created the Young Master Tian account with Tian Mo in the company.

Young Master Tian’s video editing skills were good, but it was not as impressive as large-scale company promotional videos. At most, he was at the level of an outstanding UP Master on Aili Island website.

Therefore, Pei Qian and Meng Chang used this as the standard when assigning tasks to the sales department.

If he really wanted to turn it into a large-scale company promotional video, Tian Mo would definitely find a professional team to edit it if he could not handle all his subordinates. Wouldn’t that be a waste of effort?

Therefore, Pei Qian and Meng Chang specially set a relatively low requirement at that time. It was enough to edit the video to the level of Young Master Tian’s video.

Of course, they did not say it so directly. They only said that this video had to be as above-average as the average UP Master on Aili Island website. The important thing was that it had to be completed by the internal department of the sales department.

The reason was, of course, that the people in the sales department understood the current situation of the department the most. The videos that they made could better reflect the spiritual core of the sales department.

Of course, this was all to fool Tian Mo.

Tian Mo was still simple. He did not expect there to be a pit here. He would do whatever the higher-ups wanted.

Perhaps Tian Mo thought that he had done it flawlessly and thought that he had hidden his identity as Young Master Tian very well. However, he did not know that Boss Pei, who had a keen eye, had already penetrated through the layers of fog and locked onto him.

“This way, the new Suffering Travels list would be complete!”

Satisfied, Pei Qian added Ding Xiyao’s name to the list.

Since all of you are one and the same for Young Master Tian, go and suffer on his behalf!

Look at you. Do you think I won’t be able to catch you just because you hide behind the internet and within Tengda?

No one can escape from those who have stabbed me in the back!

…

At night, Qiao Liang took out his key, opened the door of his Sloth Apartments, dragged his suitcase and walked in.

Qiao Liang wanted to cry from joy seeing everything in front of him.

Finally, he was back!

He had left for two whole months!

Do you know how I spent these two long months?

For some reason, Qiao Liang felt like he had been cut off from the world for a long time. Everything in the apartment felt so familiar and unfamiliar. He missed it terribly.

He took out the clothes from his suitcase and threw them into the washing machine. After changing into his home clothes, Qiao Liang collapsed onto the comfortable sofa in the living room. He switched on the big television and did not want to move anymore.

Money was not even as good as his own dog house!

Previously, when he was distributing the medals, Qiao Liang had a very ridiculous thought for a moment. That was to watch the Suffering Travels again and work hard to obtain higher medals and the title of ‘outstanding ascetic’.

However, he had completely changed his mind.

Going to such a lousy place twice? Are you crazy?

Wouldn’t it be better to stay at home?

Look at the huge television, ROF’s high-end computer, smart fitness drying rack, Fish-Catching Take-Out, which was always on call… which was not more fragrant than Suffering Travels?

Qiao Liang really wanted to turn on his computer and play the game that he had not played in a long time. However, two months of suffering and traveling were too tiring. He only wanted to lie down on the sofa and not move.

Even if he moved, he could only move his fingers.

“Order take-out! Supper! Serve half a kilogram of barbaque first!”

“Er… I have to weigh myself before I eat.”

After ordering supper, Qiao Liang struggled to stand up. He went to the bathroom to take out the weighing scale and weighed it.

The reason why he could overcome the gravity of the sofa and stand up was mainly because Qiao Liang knew that he should be at his peak weight now. If he continued to eat this barbecue, his weight would only increase in the future.

At that moment, he had to take a photo as a souvenir.

“Holy sh * t, I’ve reached 70 kg!”

Qiao Liang was still shocked when he saw the specific number even though he had expected it.

When he was in Beijing, he weighed 90 kg at the peak because of his irregular work-life and overeating. When he arrived in Jingzhou, his weight hovered between 77.5 to 82.5 kg because of his improved diet and the training of the smart fitness drying rack.

After two months of hard training, he realized that his weight had reached 70 kg. This was simply his peak!

For many skinny people, 70 kg might not be considered skinny. However, for Qiao Liang, it was already considered skinny as a ray of light.

What’s more, this was not reduced by diet. It was based on physical exercise.

Qiao Liang might not have reached the stage where he could see his abdominal muscles at that moment, but his figure was well-proportioned and firm. His already loose clothes made his figure look quite slim. He had already changed drastically from the dead fatty before.

Qiao Liang snapped a few photos, satisfied.

After that, he returned to the sofa and swiped his cell phone while waiting for his kebab.

“Sigh, these two months have been too much of a hindrance. I’ve missed so many things!”

“International invitational tournament, real estate agent simulator, successor, roller coaster of Thriller Hostel, safe and civilized driving, Executer Academy…”

“There’s so much material. If I had not gone on a Suffering Travels, I might have already released ten, oh no, twenty videos!”

“It’s all because of the Suffering Travels. I missed all the popularity!”

Qiao Liang was heartbroken.

During the Suffering Travels, he could play with his cell phone, but only a little.

At first, Qiao Liang thought that there might not be a signal on the deserted island. However, he realized that he had been overthinking after arriving on the island. Perhaps he had chosen an unmanned island to cover with a signal considering the safety of Suffering Travels!

It was precisely because of this that Chang You could hold a news conference on the island and do a huge job.

Qiao Liang was quite happy at first because this meant that he would not be completely isolated from the world for the next two months while he was suffering. He would also be able to know what was happening in the outside world.

However, as Tengda’s projects piled up like bamboo shoots after a rain, Qiao Liang’s mentality collapsed.

How was this a Tengda project? It was obviously a stage for him to perform perfectly!

It was fine if they could not ride on the popularity of the international invitational tournament and roller coasters. It was not a big problem. However, the popularity of the Real Estate Agent Simulator, Safe and Civilized Driving, and the drama ‘Successor’ did not increase. That was simply killing Qiao Liang.

Those were two Tengda games!

Of course, the game was here. He could make videos at any time. However, the problem was that he would not be able to make it once the popularity passed!

Players had been playing for so long. There were a lot of walkthroughs and interpretations videos online. The streamers were almost changing the game. How could Teacher Qiao produce another video now? How could that be?

The key was that after many UP Masters had analyzed it, there was very little room for Qiao Liang to play. He could not support the content of the video at all.

Forcefully making a video like that would be equivalent to smashing their own brand.

When the first project was released, Qiao Liang could barely comfort himself. However, seeing the heavy projects being released one after another within two months, and the peak of popularity passing one after another, Qiao Liang could not take it anymore.

During the day, he would suffer on an isolated island. At night, he would scan his cell phone and find out that Tengda had entered a new project. His heart would suffer!

After thinking about it, he felt that it was better not to have internet.

He would still receive the bad news when he returned, but that would be equivalent to giving him a good time. At the very least, he would not have to endure such torture on the island. It would be like being tortured to death!

This situation even gave Qiao Liang an illusion.

“Boss Pei isn’t… targeting me on purpose, is he?”

“Before I went on a Suffering Travels, Tengda’s new projects were released. However, they were basically one big project a month. There were more than two of them, but it was still acceptable.”

“In the end, after I went on a torturous trip, I made six or seven major projects in two months? Needless to say, there were many smaller projects.”

“Could it be that Boss Pei did not want me to make videos, so he specially sent me away to publish these projects, so that he can watch me suffer??”

“No, no, no, that shouldn’t be possible.”

“First of all, Boss Pei is definitely not such a bad person. Secondly, this motive doesn’t make sense.”

“Coincidence, most likely a coincidence.”

“The planning time for these projects is varying from long to short, from early to late. They should be just right.”

Qiao Liang could not help but feel guilty. How could he use such bad thoughts to guess at his good friend Boss Pei?

People could not, or at least should not.

“Perhaps I’ve been suffering for too long and my mentality is a little twisted. That’s not good. I have to adjust.”

“The suffering made me realize how happy and decadent my previous life was.”

“I should pull myself together and use my precious time to do more meaningful things!”

“Hmm… I’ll see if Tengda has any new projects to work on…”

“Eh? There’s another game!”

Qiao Liang was shocked to find that after Tengda’s real estate agent simulator and Safe and Civilized Driving, another game was about to be released: combat game, Ghost General 2!

The old sow in the production team lowered her head in shame at Boss Pei’s high production rate!

“Isn’t this a coincidence?”

“I might not be a combat game player, but it’s definitely worth a try since it’s Tengda’s combat game!”

Qiao Liang was suddenly filled with motivation.

At that moment, the hardships on the deserted island and the frustration of missing so many good materials had all become the motivation for creation.

Qiao Liang decided to start with Ghost General 2. Once the game was released, he would experience it and create a video!
