Chapter 1359 Jing Chao, Bao Xu Sends His Regards (Last Day to Ask for Monthly Tickets!)

December 12th, Wednesday.

Yangcheng, Skyfire Studio.

Min Jingchao was busy with his work when Sun Xi quietly pulled up a chair and sat beside him.

"Brother Chao, Suffering Travel seems to be officially open for reservations today. Are you sure everything is arranged?"

Sun Xi's face was full of apprehension.

He was panicking!

Zhou Muyan had already said that he would arrange for everyone in the project team to go on Suffering Travel. Sun Xi couldn't help but watch Teacher Qiao's live streams for a few days, and the more he watched, the colder he felt.

This was only the first month of training, and it was already so miserable. What would the real suffering be like next month?

But a few days ago, things took a turn for the better. Min Jingchao said that he had solved the problem properly and told Sun Xi to wait and see.

Min Jingchao didn't reveal how he solved it, so Sun Xi couldn't help but feel uneasy.

Seeing Sun Xi's panicked expression, Min Jingchao couldn't help but laugh.

Who was it that said they envied Tenda employees for being able to go on Suffering Travel?

That's just how people are; they only see the thief eating meat, but not the thief getting beaten.

It's only when it's their turn that they regret it.

But luckily, I'm here!

Min Jingchao patted his chest loudly. "Don't worry, I've taken care of both sides!"

"I also took the opportunity to sound out President Zhou and set a price that President Zhou would most likely give up on."

"It's one thing to send one or two people, but at this price, sending the entire project team is something President Zhou will definitely be reluctant to do, so don't worry!"

A smile appeared on Sun Xi's face. "Really? Then I'll wait and see!"

After temporarily putting his mind at ease, Sun Xi returned to his workstation and continued working.

A little over an hour later, Sun Xi returned.

But this time, his face was no longer apprehensive, but full of excitement.

"Brother Chao, you're awesome!"

"Suffering Travel just released an announcement stating that external reservations are officially open, and the price is 50,000 per person!"

"At this price, President Zhou definitely won't be willing to send the entire project team. That's great!"

Min Jingchao couldn't help but smile slightly. "Hehe, it's nothing, it's all within my plan."

He looked calm on the surface, but in his heart, he was secretly giving himself a thumbs up.

So what if it's Bao Xu? He was still fooled by my few words!

Min Jingchao temporarily put aside his work and opened the official Suffering Travel website to view the announcement.

"Oh, they've added a lot of benefits. It seems like they're collaborating with other departments."

"As expected. After all, if you want to raise the price, you have to have added value."

"Hiss… I have to say, it's quite attractive. But it doesn't matter much. These benefits are very tempting to individuals, but they're not very attractive to people like President Zhou who plan to send employees in groups."

"...How does this mechanism seem to be tailor-made for people like Teacher Qiao? Upgrades, game experience, game privileges, and even grand medals. It's especially attractive to up hosts, streamers, and people who claim to be loyal Tenda game players, right?"

"Could it be intentional targeting?"

"Ahem, it shouldn't be, it shouldn't be. People can't be, at least shouldn't be, so black-hearted. I believe there should still be a trace of conscience in Brother Bao's heart that hasn't been extinguished. Besides, he has no grudges against Teacher Qiao, why would he target him?"

Min Jingchao didn't look closely at the content of these benefits because he didn't care at all.

What's the point of some fake titles? You can live without them.

As a clear-headed person, you must not be tempted by such petty profits.

Anyway, no matter what, the goal of persuading Bao Xu to raise the price has been perfectly achieved.

Min Jingchao and Sun Xi were secretly rejoicing when they saw Zhou Muyan send a message on the internal chat software: "Jingchao, you and Sun Xi come to my office."

"Huh?"

Min Jingchao couldn't help but feel a surge of joy.

This was obviously calling us over to talk about canceling the Suffering Travel!

Zhou Muyan was still outwardly a boss who fully respected his employees' opinions. He had previously said that he would invite everyone in the project team to go on Suffering Travel, but now that he was canceling it due to the price, he would definitely pretend to communicate with the two of them.

It definitely wouldn't be a complete cancellation, but rather a replacement with another plan.

Perfect. Min Jingchao and Sun Xi could take this opportunity to go with the flow, express their firm support for Zhou Muyan's wise decision, and take the opportunity to propose a few comfortable and constructive alternative plans.

This major crisis of Suffering Travel could be easily turned around.

Min Jingchao and Sun Xi exchanged a smile, quickly agreed on their story, and then went to Zhou Muyan's office.

Zhou Muyan's expression was a bit tangled. After seeing the two of them, he said somewhat embarrassedly: "Suffering Travel started accepting reservations today, and the price is out. You all know about it, right?"

Sun Xi hurriedly shook his head. "No, I haven't paid any attention to this matter at all. President Zhou, just arrange it as you see fit. Actually, I think this Suffering Travel is just so-so. It doesn't matter whether we go or not. We should focus on development work now."

Zhou Muyan coughed lightly and looked at Min Jingchao again. "Ahem, Jingchao, your internal news is really accurate. The price of Suffering Travel is indeed 50,000 yuan per person."

"I think that 50,000 yuan per person is indeed a bit lacking in cost performance. There are actually many better options to choose from."

"Moreover, it's not very appropriate to arrange for the entire project team to go at this price. On the one hand, the cost performance is very poor, and on the other hand, everyone has different habits and hobbies. It's a bit inappropriate to do this one-size-fits-all approach."

"Why don't we investigate other options? A budget of 20,000 to 30,000 yuan per person can be very fun."

Min Jingchao and Sun Xi immediately nodded like chickens pecking rice. "That's right, that's what we think too!"

"The cost performance of Suffering Travel is indeed too low. President Zhou, you can arrange it as you see fit. We'll all listen to you!"

Zhou Muyan was very satisfied with the two's attitude. After nodding slightly, he said, "Okay, actually, I also asked someone to preliminarily investigate a few options. If we play domestically, the playing time can be relatively longer, and we can go to some scenic spots. If we go abroad, we can consider skiing in Europe, or soaking in hot springs in Japan. Or, it would be a good choice to find an island to go on vacation."

"What do you think?"

Min Jingchao and Sun Xi tried their best not to show their elation. "President Zhou, you can arrange it as you see fit. We'll all listen to you!"

Good heavens, skiing and soaking in hot springs, both are a hundred times happier than going on Suffering Travel!

We're not picky. As long as we don't have to suffer, we can go anywhere!

Sun Xi was very clear that it would have been basically impossible for the former Zhou Muyan to organize this kind of large-scale team-building activity.

This time, he was obviously taking advantage of Min Jingchao's good fortune. Zhou Muyan had previously promised to send the entire project team to Suffering Travel. After changing his mind, he felt a little embarrassed, so he offered these options as compensation.

In short, it's like going from hell to heaven!

"However…"

Zhou Muyan changed the subject. "I, as the boss, can't easily break my promise. It was you who specifically proposed wanting to go on Suffering Travel. It's okay if the other members of the project team don't have this strong desire, but for you, I think I should satisfy this desire."

"So what I'm thinking is that the other members of the project team will follow the alternative plan, and you core members will still go on Suffering Travel! Although your standards and treatment are higher than others, you have made more contributions to the project team after all, and I believe others will not have any complaints."

Sun Xi's face changed on the spot.

It's over!

What is President Zhou up to? Don't scare me, my little heart can't take this!

Min Jingchao reacted quickly. After all, he had been trained in Tenda. He hurriedly said, "President Zhou, this is very inappropriate!"

"As core members, we must not engage in special privileges. We should be closely united with ordinary members. Wherever they go, we go. We must not be special!"

Sun Xi also reacted and immediately echoed, "Yes, President Zhou, we will never engage in special privileges. We will share weal and woe with the other members of the project team!"

Zhou Muyan was still a little hesitant. "This is not very good. Actually, I think Suffering Travel is quite good, but the price is a bit expensive. After all, you strongly requested it at the time…"

Min Jingchao hurriedly said, "No, no, no, we didn't strongly request it at the time, we just casually mentioned it. President Zhou, don't think too much about it. It doesn't matter to us whether we go or not!"

While they were hesitating, the phone on Zhou Muyan's desk rang.

The three temporarily stopped their discussion. Obviously, President Zhou's business was more important.

Zhou Muyan answered the phone on his desk. "Hello? Ah, yes, this is me. You are…?"

"Oh, oh, oh! I've admired you for a long time. I remember having a brief encounter before. Alas, things have changed, it's quite moving."

Min Jingchao and Sun Xi silently exchanged a look, wondering, is this President Zhou's old friend?

They hesitated whether to go out and avoid it, but seeing that President Zhou didn't seem to mean that, they didn't leave.

"What?"

"This… there was indeed this plan, but this price is slightly over budget, so…"

"Huh? Discount? Half price?!"

"Oh my, there are a few too many of us… all half price?"

"How can I be so embarrassed! Thank you, thank you so much!"

"Okay, okay, okay, I'll definitely treat you to a drink when I come to Yangcheng another day!"

Min Jingchao was a little confused. What was Zhou's old friend saying about half price? Was President Zhou buying something from an old friend?

Zhou Muyan's face was full of smiles. "Then let's settle it like this for now. Keep a good spot for me, and please give my regards to President Pei, bye."

Hearing the words "give my regards to President Pei," Min Jingchao and Sun Xi's hearts "thumped" and instantly turned cold.

Something's wrong, very wrong!

President Zhou's so-called "friend I met once"... couldn't it be...

Zhou Muyan's face was full of smiles. "Alright, this problem has been properly resolved! You don't have to wrong yourselves anymore!"

"Jingchao, Bao Xu told me to send his regards."

"He arranged a 50% discount for the entire *Bullet Marks 2* project team!"

Please give me monthly tickets. This month is a total of 210,000 words, an average of about 7,000 per day, which is okay. I will continue to update more next month. If you still have tickets, please vote. If you don’t vote on the last day, they will expire
