Tengda Games.

Pei Qian flipped through his notebook, realizing there were still two people he needed to deal with.

Actually, Lin Wan wasn't at the top of President Pei's list. After all, Lin Wan had only saved him a few hundred thousand in rent, and now it seemed like that amount of money could be spent in the blink of an eye.

What's more, considering the two hundred thousand that Lin Chang had provided, President Pei had to treat Lin Wan leniently.

At the top of his list was definitely Qiao Liang!

The week before last, when "Lonely Desert Road" was updated, Teacher Qiao had once again praised Tengda, making Pei Qian almost want to hire a hitman.

From the very beginning with "Lonely Desert Road" to "Game Producer" and later the DLCs, this Teacher Qiao was simply a persistent ghost.

However, after having someone investigate Teacher Qiao last time, Pei Qian still hadn't figured out how to deal with him.

Qiao Liang lived in the Imperial Capital, but he wasn't a local; he was one of the "Bei Piao" (drifters in Beijing).

He used to live a relatively hard life, but after joining Aili Island, he lived very well thanks to the video incentive program and daily sponsored content, and now he even refused to accept some low-end sponsorships.

Basically, ever since that episode of "Masterpiece" introducing "Game Producer," Qiao Liang had forcibly ridden the coattails of "performance art marketing" and inexplicably embarked on the path of taking sponsored content with integrity.

Strangely enough, other content creators got scolded for taking sponsorships, but when Teacher Qiao did the same, a bunch of viewers in the comments section shouted, "Good sponsorship!" and "Artistic sponsorship!"

Other content creators were incredibly envious.

However, it was impossible for another special case like Teacher Qiao to appear.

It was also for this reason that Teacher Qiao was extremely grateful to Tengda. After all, he had originally been a relatively popular content creator, but now he had become a popular content creator on Aili Island's gaming channel, mainly due to riding Tengda's wave of popularity.

Perhaps with the release of the next game, Teacher Qiao would latch onto it at lightning speed.

Pei Qian had originally wanted to defeat Qiao Liang with money, which was feasible, but the problem was what to do after defeating him. That was the question.

Qiao Liang was relatively short on money, that was true, but the problem was, after Pei Qian bought him out with money, what should he have him do?

Make him create videos slandering Tengda's games?

That wouldn't make sense, and besides, even if Qiao Liang slandered them, viewers would probably just see it as another large-scale piece of performance art.

Make Qiao Liang no longer post any videos about Tengda?

Spending money specifically to do something like that would probably make Qiao Liang suspect Pei Qian's true intentions, which would contradict the system's requirement of not exposing itself.

So, Pei Qian realized that this matter had reached a stalemate.

Having Qiao Liang praise Tengda was promoting Tengda.

Having Qiao Liang criticize Tengda was still promoting Tengda!

This was very awkward.

Pei Qian realized that he could indeed use money to defeat Qiao Liang, even to the point of preventing him from ever getting up again, but the key was that even if Qiao Liang was lying down and earning easy money, it wouldn't help Pei Qian in any way.

That was the most frustrating thing.

But no matter what, this debt could not go unpaid!

"After the new game comes out, I'll max out the budget and make Qiao Liang beat it a hundred times. Only then can I relieve the hatred in my heart!"

Pei Qian silently shifted his gaze to Lin Wan, on the second line of his notebook.

He had already decided to arrange for Lin Wan to go to Shang Yang Games, and now was the perfect time.

Shang Yang Games, on the other hand, had a relatively complete structure. With Ye Zhizhou providing the creative ideas and Wang Xiaobin, a senior planner, coordinating and arranging things, they weren't really lacking people at the moment.

However, Wang Xiaobin was mainly in charge of the numbers, so he was a little stretched. The current structure was actually a little unreasonable.

Arranging for Lin Wan to go there was mainly to let her experience how much of a pain it was to be an executive lead planner, and to pass on the Tengda spirit to Shang Yang Games.

The best outcome would be for Lin Wan to work her butt off at Shang Yang Games, but the game would ultimately fail, causing her to become disillusioned with the game industry and go back to inherit her family's business.

The middle outcome would be for Lin Wan not to make a name for herself there and continue to work hard, but at least Shang Yang Games would continue to lose money, and Lin Wan wouldn't suddenly give Pei Qian a rent exemption, giving him a myocardial infarction.

The worst outcome would be for Lin Wan to lead Shang Yang Games to unexpected success, greatly boosting her confidence...

However, Pei Qian didn't think this was very likely.

Thinking of this, Pei Qian called Lin Wan to his office and briefly explained his arrangement.

Unexpectedly, Lin Wan shook her head directly and flatly refused.

"I'm not going."

Pei Qian was a little dumbfounded. Was she being so decisive?

Most other people would probably be moved to tears upon learning that they were going to be promoted, but she was different. Not only was she not moved, but she also flatly refused?

Lin Wan said seriously, "President Pei, thank you for your kind intentions."

"However, my current abilities are still insufficient."

"I hope to continue staying at Tengda, at least until I can see 'Is There a Shore Ahead' released and gain some more experience."

Pei Qian was speechless.

As expected of a rich second-generation. I miscalculated!

For Lin Wan, she simply didn't care about things like promotions.

Anyway, no matter how high she got promoted, it wouldn't be as fast as asking her family for money and becoming a boss herself.

What Lin Wan wanted was to learn from successful projects and to have the experience of working happily with her colleagues.

She was currently very happy with the project she was on at Tengda, and she simply didn't want to move.

Pei Qian never expected that his tried-and-true first-place elimination system would encounter such an unexpected setback!

Could this be the power of a rich second-generation?

However, this small matter couldn't stump Pei Qian. His mind raced, and he quickly came up with another explanation.

"People at our company all like to underestimate their abilities."

"Of course, this is also normal. Working with so many outstanding colleagues, it's easy to have the illusion that 'I'm very weak.'"

"But you have to believe that you are actually capable enough to complete this task."

Pei Qian paused and said seriously, "Going to Shang Yang Games is an important mission, and you are the only one who can do it."

Lin Wan was stunned. "Ah? Is that so?"

Hearing the words "the only one who can do it," Lin Wan couldn't help but become curious.

Pei Qian stood up, took a few steps, and explained, "Shang Yang Games is a loss-making game company. Tengda bought them, so naturally we have to carry out in-depth reforms."

"But this kind of reform can't be rushed; it has to be done step by step. After all, a company's inertia isn't something that can be easily reversed."

"And you have two important tasks:"

"First, you are the bridge between Shang Yang Games and Tengda. The person in charge there, Ye Zhizhou, is acting a little too cautiously. For the decisions he doesn't dare to make, you have to make them for him and then communicate with me. My biggest fear is that they won't dare to spend money!"

"Second, you are the transmitter of the Tengda spirit. I hope you can slowly transform Shang Yang Games with the Tengda spirit, whether it's by taking them on team-building activities or by increasing their salaries and benefits, gradually bringing them in line with Tengda."

"If it's really effective, then it means you already have the ability to independently manage a project! Completing your dream will no longer be far away."

"So, this is a very severe challenge for you. Are you going to back down?"

Lin Wan immediately shook her head. "Of course not!"

She hesitated for a moment. "Then... can I still come back to Tengda in the future?"

Pei Qian smiled slightly. "Of course. Tengda is your home forever. Your work station will always be reserved for you, and you can come back and visit at any time."

Lin Wan considered for a moment and nodded. "Okay, I accept this mission!"
