Chapter 158 Overseas Trip

Bao Xu panicked the instant he saw Pei Qian looking at him, about to say something.

Crap, not me again, is it?

Last time, with a month of paid vacation, Bao Xu had traveled all over the country until he was spitting blood. After returning, he felt like he had used up his travel quota for the whole year.

And it hasn't even been a few months, and it's happening again?

Bao Xu quickly said, "President Pei, I voluntarily give up this spot! Please give it to someone who needs it more!"

Pei Qian shook his head. "What's the point of voting if we're just going to pass it around? The results of the vote can't be changed. Whoever it is, it is."

"Go back and pack your luggage these next two days."

Bao Xu panicked. "President Pei, I've already been to most of the famous historical sites in the country! And I've checked in at all of them, with photos and location evidence! There's really nowhere else to go!"

Pei Qian smiled slightly. "You've been to almost all the famous historical sites in the country?"

"Then go get a visa tomorrow and take a look abroad. Experience the exotic scenery and the influence of world culture, and learn from the game development experience of developed Western countries."

Bao Xu wanted to say something, but Pei Qian preempted him. "It's decided. Go get a visa tomorrow."

Bao Xu was speechless.

What rotten luck!

Bao Xu felt terrible. I really don't want to go out!

President Pei, I'd rather work overtime!

But looking at President Pei's expression, it was clear that this decision could not be changed once it was made.

The selection and reward of outstanding employees was a long-established rule. It could only be said that this was a form of accepting the bet...

Bao Xu thought silently that when he came back from this paid vacation, he would definitely have to make it clear to everyone that they should never vote for him as an outstanding employee again!

Whether it was the million-yuan dream fund or the month of paid vacation, he had absolutely no interest in them. Please vote rationally and vote for those who need it more!

But it was too late to say this now. He could only wait until he came back from his paid vacation before slowly instilling this idea in everyone.

Pei Qian looked at Lu Mingliang again. "Say a few words."

If someone else had won this Best Employee award, Pei Qian might have offered his sincere congratulations, even a little schadenfreude.

But Lu Mingliang winning this Best Employee award made Pei Qian a little reluctant.

In short... his mood was very complicated.

Lu Mingliang held the trophy in his hands and said excitedly, "I feel unworthy of this award. The main reason I achieved a little success was because President Pei provided a successful direction, and I have been strictly following President Pei's instructions."

"I think that no matter who takes over as the main planner, as long as they resolutely implement President Pei's strategic thinking, they will definitely achieve something!"

"I hope Tengda gets better and better, thank you all!"

The office burst into warm applause, and Pei Qian couldn't help but join in, applauding from the bottom of his heart.

Look, how well he speaks!

Although he didn't completely agree with Lu Mingliang's words, there was one sentence that Pei Qian especially wanted to hear.

"No matter who takes over as the main planner, they must always listen to President Pei."

This was exactly what Pei Qian wanted!

What was he most worried about?

He was worried about employees not listening to him!

Every time, they would over-interpret his ideas and come up with a bunch of innovations for the game, and the result was that every game they made was completely contrary to Pei Qian's expectations!

On the other hand, although Lu Mingliang's game was still successful, which was a bit of a pity, his attitude was much better than Huang Sibo and Bao Xu!

Little Lu was a really good employee.

He deserved a reward!

Pei Qian asked with a smile, "Have you thought about how to spend the million-yuan dream fund?"

Lu Mingliang hesitated. "Uh... President Pei, this is what I'm thinking."

"On the one hand, the development of *Turning Back is the Shore* is at a critical moment. I'd still like to stay and finish this phase of the work."

"On the other hand, I haven't really thought about what I want to do. Apart from games, I don't seem to have any other areas of expertise."

"So, why don't we just put this on hold for now? You can keep the money first and wait until I figure it out."

Pei Qian frowned.

Put it on hold for now?

How could that be allowed!

He had already prepared the money. How could it be right if you didn't spend it?

Besides, the rules were the rules. This was only the second outstanding employee selection, and there was already a problem. Would he even be able to continue doing it in the future? Could the excellent tradition of the bottom elimination system continue?

Although Lu Mingliang was his trusted confidant, if the hearts of the people were scattered, the team would be difficult to lead. He couldn't allow this loophole to open!

Pei Qian immediately shook his head. "No way."

"If you don't have a better idea for the time being, then I have a task for you. Go be the CEO of Upwind Logistics."

Lu Mingliang was stunned. "Huh? President Pei, I don't know anything about that."

Pei Qian smiled slightly. You don't know? Isn't that perfect?

"As the saying goes, 'Understand one thing, and you'll understand everything else.' You have experience working at Tengda Games, so your management talent is definitely not bad. You can go try it out first. If you feel like you really can't do it, you can still take the million-yuan dream fund and start a business in another field."

Lu Mingliang was still a little hesitant.

But looking at President Pei's firm eyes, he understood that it would probably be difficult for him to continue staying at Tengda Games.

In that case, he would go to Upwind Logistics and take a look!

Lu Mingliang's personality was a little different from Huang Sibo's. Huang Sibo was someone with a lot of ideas, who was more willing to try new fields, and who knew exactly what he wanted. So, after getting the dream fund, he started Flying Huang Workshop without saying a word.

And Lu Mingliang wasn't as curious about other fields. He was a more conventional employee.

You could tell from the way he made games. Huang Sibo and Bao Xu would add more of their own ideas into the game, while Lu Mingliang completely faithfully executed President Pei's orders.

He thought about it. Although he wasn't very interested in logistics, since it was an industry that President Pei was developing, it must have good prospects.

For his career, the ceiling of a main planner was obviously much lower than that of a large logistics company CEO.

So, Lu Mingliang didn't decline any further and accepted the job.

Anyway, President Pei had said that if he didn't get used to it, he could still take the million-yuan dream fund and do something he liked.

After arranging the two Best Employees, a new problem arose.

The main planner was gone. He had to quickly promote a new main planner, otherwise the work couldn't continue.

But the problem now was that the employees at Tengda Games that Pei Qian was more familiar with had basically been arranged.

Huang Sibo, Bao Xu, Lu Mingliang, Lin Wan... Pei Qian had arranged them all.

As for the other employees, Pei Qian could only say that he recognized their faces, but he didn't really know them.

Many of them were only responsible for execution-level work and didn't report directly to Pei Qian, so Pei Qian didn't have the opportunity to get to know them.

But it didn't matter. There was still the outstanding employee selection. There was a ready-made list and votes, which had very valuable guidance.

It would be a little too much to choose from the bottom since many people didn't have a single vote. It would be too strange to choose someone like that.

Pei Qian simply picked one from the top ten who had a moderate number of votes.

"Li Yada, it's you!"

In a corner cubicle, a female employee wearing thick-framed glasses looked up in confusion.

She didn't understand why President Pei would choose her to be the main planner, so she didn't react for a moment and froze.

Pei Qian was very satisfied with this new main planner.

In the vast list of employees, Pei Qian saw her name at a glance.

Auspicious!

Li Yada, wasn't her English name Yada Li?

Atari was a good company, a leader in the game industry, and President Pei's ultimate goal.

Li Yada looked around and then at the smiling President Pei.

After a few seconds, she hurriedly stood up. "Pres-President Pei! I don't have enough work experience..."

Pei Qian looked displeased.

Here we go again!

Did I not know that you don't have enough experience?

If you had enough experience, I wouldn't be looking for you!

Every time I promote a main planner, they try to decline.

Pei Qian's face darkened.

Li Yada saw that President Pei's expression was not right and instantly realized that she had done something wrong.

Weren't the previous main planners all directly promoted like her? And they all did a good job.

Why was she dropping the ball?

This was letting down President Pei's expectations!

Li Yada quickly said, "But I will definitely do my best to complete the final work on *Turning Back is the Shore*!"

Pei Qian nodded with satisfaction.

Yes, that's right.

As long as you have the right attitude, I won't blame you even if you don't have the ability and ruin the game.
