Liang Qingfan continued, "Bao Xu is one of the oldest employees at Tengda, specially recruited by President Pei himself. Many people who joined the game department later than him have been promoted to lead designers or become heads of other departments, but Bao Xu is still just an ordinary employee in the game department."

"Is it because he doesn't do a good job? Definitely not! If he really didn't do a good job, how could he consistently be the runner-up for outstanding employee?"

"So, Bao Xu could have become a leader long ago if he wanted to; he simply has a personality that doesn't care about fame or fortune."

"He's been busy and dedicated to the snack market, but when have you ever seen him trying to take credit? Never, right? Clearly, he's doing good deeds without seeking recognition, wanting to leave the credit to us two, which is why he didn't come."

Zhang Yahui nodded, enlightened.

"I see!"

"Brother Bao's magnanimity is truly admirable!"

"Tengda is truly a magical company. All departments work together seamlessly, with no departmentalism whatsoever. Every employee enthusiastically lends a helping hand to other departments, doing things that aren't even their job as diligently as their own."

"The success of this snack market is all thanks to you two! When President Pei arrives, I'll definitely put in a few good words for you both!"

Liang Qingfan waved his hand. "Don't mention it; we're all working for President Pei!"

"Besides, there's no need to speak up for me; President Pei already knows about my renovations to the food market. Plus, I have other businesses like the Sloth Apartments, so I don't lack opportunities to show my face in front of President Pei. Without a doubt, President Pei will remember the credit due to me."

"In my opinion, we should all put in a few good words for Bao Xu!"

"He not only injected soul into the food market and came up with such an interesting concept, but he's also completely unconcerned with taking credit. If we don't mention these contributions, President Pei might not even know."

"Although Bao Xu is indifferent to fame and fortune, since he's put in so much effort, he should be recognized by everyone. We can't let him contribute silently without any reward, can we?"

Zhang Yahui hurriedly nodded. "You're right! Then when President Pei arrives later, let's praise Brother Bao a lot!"

The two quickly reached a consensus.

Although the three of them had distinct roles, it was difficult to determine who had contributed the most. However, Zhang Yahui and Liang Qingfan were both in charge and didn't lack opportunities to show their faces in front of President Pei.

But Bao Xu was different. He had volunteered to help out from the game department and wasn't a supervisor. Now, he was actively choosing not to come and not to present himself in front of President Pei.

If Zhang Yahui and Liang Qingfan didn't speak up, who would know that Bao Xu had contributed so much to the snack market?

For both personal and professional reasons, they had to praise Bao Xu in front of President Pei!

Just as the two finished discussing, President Pei arrived.

Zhang Yahui and Liang Qingfan immediately went to greet him. "President Pei! How is it? Are you satisfied with our work?"

Pei Qian offered a "hehe" in response.

Satisfied, extremely satisfied!

So satisfied that he wished he could book you two a plane ticket to Siberia right now!

"Who came up with the idea of making the snack market cyberpunk-themed?"

What left the deepest impression on Pei Qian was this cyberpunk style.

Before coming, he had imagined the snack street in many ways, but no matter how exquisite or grand he envisioned it, it was still limited to the appearance of a snack street in reality.

Who knew they would come up with a cyberpunk style directly? No one could handle that!

Zhang Yahui and Liang Qingfan exchanged a glance, each revealing a knowing smile.

President Pei actually brought it up first? Excellent!

They were just worrying about not having a good starting point to praise Brother Bao!

If President Pei hadn't asked, introducing Bao Xu's contributions would have seemed a bit deliberate and unnatural. This kind of behavior wasn't really encouraged at Tengda; President Pei was quite averse to the act of "seeking credit."

Even if it was seeking credit for someone else, it wasn't foolproof and could easily make President Pei angry.

But now that President Pei had taken the initiative to ask, they just had to answer truthfully!

Liang Qingfan said, "I did the specific design scheme, but the idea was proposed by Bao Xu! Moreover, Bao Xu also helped me find a lot of game art and concept drawings, contributing a lot to my design work."

Pei Qian froze for a moment, then his mouth twitched slightly in anger.

Bao Xu?

Why aren't you enjoying your trip, but meddling in the snack market?

Does this have anything to do with you? Huh? Does it?

Pei Qian frowned and asked, "How did Bao Xu get involved in the design of the snack market?"

Liang Qingfan replied, "He was traveling with me before, and when we came back, we happened to meet Zhang Yahui who came to discuss the snack market. He was also very interested, so he applied to the game department and came here to help full-time."

Pei Qian was speechless.

What exactly is going on with the game department? How can you release your people so casually! Can't you let Bao Xu work properly in the game department?

Oh, Bao Xu is a veteran, and no one can control him, so never mind.

Although he was angry, what's done is done, and there was no way to change it. If Bao Xu had only come up with the cyberpunk theme on a whim, then it could barely be considered an unintentional mistake and could be forgiven.

Liang Qingfan said, "President Pei, let's take a look inside!"

Pei Qian nodded and walked inside with the two.

Zhang Yahui introduced, "President Pei, the entire snack market is very large, and the internal structure is relatively complex."

"Especially since the entire street outside may be expanded into a snack street in the future, it's even more important to have a good way to guide customers."

"In this regard, we have made two preparations."

"The first is to cooperate with the Tengda Life App and add a new section for the cyberpunk snack street in the App. There is a special map for the snack market. After customers enter this area, they can use the map and location to view their current location in real time."

"The interface style of the entire map is also cyberpunk, full of technology and mechanical feel, combining practicality and aesthetics."

"In addition, this map also has some very practical functions."

"There are many interactive tasks in the snack market. Stalls will be randomly refreshed daily to become half-price experience zones or free zones, and these can all be seen on the map."

"Stalls are divided into four levels: bronze, silver, gold, and diamond. The higher the level, the more seats there are and the better the location. Long-term diamond stalls can move out of the snack market and get their own store on the snack street. The specific level can also be seen on the map."

"Moreover, the opening hours of all stalls are also uniformly planned, because the stall owners have to take turns resting, so the opening hours are not completely fixed. On the App, you can check the specific opening hours and queuing situation of a stall, but you need to complete some interactive mini-games."

"This is to stimulate healthy competition among stall owners and provide customers with a little interactivity, so that they can have a good sense of participation and surprise while tasting the food."

As Zhang Yahui spoke, he came to a stall near the entrance.

The stalls here are also decorated in a cyberpunk style, and in order to enhance the atmosphere and sense of immersion, many shops at the entrance are not snack stalls, but shops selling technological simulation gun models, medicine models, or mechanical prosthetic limb models.

Of course, further inside are basically all snacks.

There are two types of stalls in the snack market. One is distributed on the periphery of the snack market, backing against the wall. These stalls have a larger area, and the entire wall can be used to display goods, basically selling peripherals; the other is distributed inside the snack market, which is more open and used as snack stalls.

Next to a "gun shop" full of simulation guns, there is a store similar to a grocery store, selling small items such as mobile phone cases, figurines, medicine models, etc.

Zhang Yahui randomly took a notebook that looked very thick and sturdy from the stall: "President Pei, this is the second map we prepared for customers in addition to the electronic map."

"The cover of this customized cyberpunk notebook is made of titanium alloy, and the surface of the cover is coated with a yellow PVD coating. The small middle part is made of black carbon fiber material, which is very consistent with the cyberpunk aesthetic style."

"The content of the book is divided into two parts: the first half is some exquisite original paintings and concept drawings used in the design process of the cyberpunk snack street, as well as the planning map of the snack street at different stages; the second half is blank, which is left for customers to check in and stamp at various stalls."

"The paper in the notebook is made of specially selected materials. The paper is tough and sturdy, and there are embossed patterns pressed on it with concave-convex technology."

"This process is often used on some business cards to improve the quality of the business card through the embossed + color scheme. And on this notebook, every page is in this style."

"Through the embossed effect, the original paintings in the first half can be more three-dimensional, and a position for stamping can also be pre-pressed on the blank paper in the second half, so that the position of the stamp will not deviate due to shaking hands, making it look more beautiful."

"Each stall has a special seal, and the pattern on this seal is made according to the stall's snack type and the stall owner's personal preferences. They are all different, seemingly traditional, but also with some cyberpunk style."

"This notebook is mainly prepared for customers who like to check in and collect. Buying or not buying it does not affect the experience."

"The combination of electronic map and physical map can allow customers to better understand the layout of the entire snack market and is more in line with the 'smart life' concept advocated by the Tengda Life App."

Pei Qian was silent again.

Good lord, you managed to give me so many tricks with an ordinary snack street?

Squatting to wait for refreshes, checking in, planning routes... are you doing daily game tasks here?

Looking at Zhang Yahui and Liang Qingfan, they don't seem like the kind of people who would make this kind of design.

Could it be...

After a moment of silence, Pei Qian asked, "These designs, wouldn't they all be made by Bao Xu too?"
