Chapter 1386 Then This Person Can Only Be Tian Mo
What's President Pei up to this time?
Isn't my true identity that of Young Master Tian?
Didn't President Pei already know? Why is he asking such a redundant question!
No, President Pei's question is obviously problematic.
President Pei used "if" twice, which is a very strong hypothetical tone. Knowing full well that I am Young Master Tian, he still wants me to identify someone else...
Could it be that President Pei is preparing for a rainy day?
A flash of insight struck Meng Chang, and he understood.
Young Master Tian's identity cannot be revealed. It's imperative that no one knows he's actually an employee of Tengda. This is certain.
But, what if it really gets exposed?
Then that person absolutely cannot be Meng Chang!
Because Meng Chang's reputation is too bad. Although it has improved a lot now, he's, after all, doing advertising and marketing at Tengda, which is too sensitive a position.
If Young Master Tian is truly suspected of being an internal Tengda employee, and Tengda has to respond, they must push someone else to take the blame, absolutely denying that Meng Chang is Young Master Tian.
Then the choice of that person becomes obvious.
After considering it, Meng Chang said, "If that's the case… then I think that person could be Tian Mo."
President Pei is clearly considering a contingency plan for a low-probability event.
The probability of "Young Master Tian being exposed as a Tengda employee" is actually very low. After all, Meng Chang has always been cautious, never leaving any written records, and he doesn't even explicitly mention it when chatting with President Pei, let alone with others.
But President Pei's attitude is correct; one shouldn't ignore something just because it has a low probability of happening.
Because of Murphy's Law.
So, since we're considering this extreme situation, we have to think about remedial measures.
Even if we can't remedy it, we must at least minimize the damage.
And if "Young Master Tian is Meng Chang" is exposed, the consequences would be too severe.
But if Young Master Tian is some other person, then these consequences become completely controllable and acceptable.
To extrapolate further, this person must be a relatively likeable figure, not too aloof, a bit down-to-earth, and seem friendly and genuine.
In this way, the impact can be minimized.
Moreover, the persona that Meng Chang previously considered for Young Master Tian was a humble, low-key, ordinary person, because constantly acting high and mighty and "educating the masses" would eventually lead to a downfall.
"Having some wisdom but considering oneself an insignificant little person" is Young Master Tian's persona.
So, combining the two…
Tian Mo is clearly the most suitable candidate.
On the one hand, he comes from humble origins, with low education, and bumped into walls everywhere when looking for a job, making him seem like an ordinary person. On the other hand, after joining Tengda, he quickly got the hang of things and achieved rapid growth.
Most commendable is that he hasn't become arrogant due to this change, always maintaining his original mindset.
Isn't this a very realistic inspirational story?
It fits Young Master Tian's persona too well!
He even happens to be named Tian.
Hearing Meng Chang's words, Pei Qian's eyes turned cold.
As expected, great minds think alike!
This Tian Mo is the most suspicious!
Pei Qian asked again, "What basis do you have for saying that?"
"There should be some deeper connection between Tian Mo and Young Master Tian."
Meng Chang was stunned for a moment.
Deeper connection?
Oh, I understand.
President Pei is saying, what if the worst-case scenario really happens, and everyone doesn't believe it when we say Tian Mo is Young Master Tian?
Just having a matching persona isn't enough; there must be some deeper connection to increase the credibility of the matter.
After considering it, Meng Chang said, "Before, when I was preparing the promotional plan for *Real Estate Agent Simulator*, I specifically consulted Tian Mo."
"Tian Mo told me a lot about real estate agents, and many of his views were indeed… deafening."
Pei Qian frowned, then sneered inwardly.
Oh ho!
It's not easy to get Meng Chang to use the word "deafening."
This shows that Tian Mo does have a lot of insightful views on the real estate agent industry and is fully capable of making that video of Young Master Tian.
More importantly… since Tian Mo has insightful views on the real estate agent industry, what about other industries?
Maybe he can apply his knowledge by analogy!
Pei Qian doesn't quite believe that Tian Mo was faking it at the beginning, but it's also possible that this guy suddenly got the hang of things.
If we make this assumption, then Tian Mo's image is even more in line with Young Master Tian's…
In Pei Qian's mind, he has basically regarded Tian Mo and Young Master Tian as the same person and can even imagine the confident smile on his face when he posts videos.
This makes Pei Qian feel a little bit of hatred involuntarily, a gnawing, itchy hatred.
Good for you, Tian Mo, I trust you so much, yet you treat me like this!
It's one thing to cause trouble for me in normal work, but you secretly created a Young Master Tian account and are gratuitously disrupting me!
This is intolerable!
Pei Qian calmed himself down a little and asked, "But Tian Mo shouldn't be able to edit such sophisticated videos. Who do you think his assistant might be if he has one?"
"Assistant? Oh, oh, that's right."
Meng Chang was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but marvel at President Pei's meticulousness.
One has to do a complete job, without leaving any obvious flaws.
Tian Mo indeed can't edit such sophisticated videos, so this point may be seized by others in the future, and everything will be exposed.
After considering it, Meng Chang said, "If we deduce it this way… this matter should also be kept relatively confidential for Tian Mo, and he wouldn't flaunt it everywhere."
"Then, he would definitely only run this account with close, trusted friends around him."
"Considering that the experience store doesn't have very close links with other departments, Tian Mo's trusted friends should all be employees of the experience store. After all, these employees are his childhood friends and classmates, and their relationship is very solid and trustworthy."
The more Pei Qian listened, the more excited he became.
Not bad, Meng Chang, your reasoning is so smooth and makes more and more sense as I listen!
He couldn't wait to ask, "Who specifically?"
Meng Chang was a little embarrassed, thinking, I don't know these people at all, how would I know who to choose specifically?
But on second thought, President Pei's question doesn't necessarily require pinpointing a specific person; just providing a screening method is also acceptable.
So, after considering it, Meng Chang said, "I'll find an excuse later to have Tian Mo's side produce a promotional video, and then Tian Mo will naturally find the most trusted and skilled person in the department to produce it."
"In this way, we can lock in the candidate."
Pei Qian almost wanted to clap his hands and cheer for Meng Chang.
Fantastic!
The long-troubling identity problem of Young Master Tian has finally been solved!
It has to be said that Meng Chang is quite smart. The task of investigating Young Master Tian's true identity is very difficult, but Meng Chang still managed to complete it with his powerful reasoning skills.
All sorts of clues indicate that Young Master Tian is Tian Mo, and it's a group effort, with the person helping him edit videos hidden in the sales department!
As long as Meng Chang finds an excuse to have them produce a promotional video, then by seeing who has the best editing skills, the entire "Young Master Tian Group" can be dug out!
Then, heh heh heh.
Suffering tours are too kind; we must also arrange for the haunted house project in Thrill Hotel!
Of course, Tian Mo himself will definitely not admit it, and asking probably won't yield any results.
So, Pei Qian won't ask; asking won't lead to anything.
When the time comes to strike, just strike, just arrange it!
Thinking of this, Pei Qian nodded: "Well, your reasoning is very good. Go busy yourself with the promotional plan; I have nothing else here."
Meng Chang breathed a sigh of relief.
President Pei is still the most thoughtful. I was too confident, thinking that Young Master Tian's identity would definitely not be exposed, to the point where I didn't consider the contingency plan for what would happen if this situation did occur.
Fortunately, President Pei helped me patch up this loophole.
Moreover, my performance should be considered quite good, right?
At least, under President Pei's step-by-step prompting, I gave the correct answer that President Pei expected.
Meng Chang was about to leave when he remembered something: "By the way, President Pei, what if the two game departments come to me for promotional funds… what should I do?"
This month, Thrill Hotel's roller coaster project didn't get promotional funds, but Chen Kangtuo managed to pull in promotional funds from Li's group of investors, completing the promotional task very well.
But we can't always do this, right? After all, not every department has the conditions of Thrill Hotel.
Pei Qian thought for a moment, and that's true.
It would be quite strange if the two games weren't given any promotional resources at all.
In that case, let's give a little bit symbolically!
Thinking of this, Pei Qian said, "In this way, you can freely arrange the promotional funds for each project in the future."
"You can allocate some promotional funds to the two game departments and let them do it themselves."
"The money allocated won't affect your commission, but if you allocate more money, you'll have less funding for the *Successor* project. How much to allocate is up to you."
Less funding for the *Successor* project may lead to a decrease in commission.
But excessive promotional funding may also lead to a huge success and a drastic drop in commission. The degree of this is up to Meng Chang to grasp.
Pei Qian felt that Meng Chang was already so on the ball that he could be asked to take on more responsibility for losing money.
By letting him allocate these promotional resources, for the sake of commission, he will definitely allocate the resources to the most unnecessary projects, and those projects that can make money will definitely get as little as possible.
In this way, Pei Qian's task is also easier. Meng Chang can take the blame for anything, wouldn't that be wonderful?
Meng Chang nodded, feeling that he was becoming more and more trusted by President Pei.
Before, he passively accepted projects and made plans, but now he can decide how to allocate promotional funds himself!
In that case, he must not disappoint President Pei's expectations and must arrange the promotion of all projects to ensure that promotional resources are used to the maximum extent possible.
Otherwise, President Pei can give him this authority but also take it back after seeing him mess things up.
