Chapter 94 - Boss Peis Daily Life Becomes Popular! (2/2)

However, Pei Qian did not really care.

“Ah, everyone has very poor imagination. Fifty thousand yuan to create a popular game. I wouldn’t believe it either, but this really happened. Who should I reason with…?”

Pei Qian kept watching the number of views on the video.

From the looks of the situation, it was not good!

Pei Qian still had a sliver of hope that people would not enjoy the video. What if people felt disgusted at such obvious flaunting of wealth?

As it turned out, no such thing happened!

Now, Pei Qian had no choice but to keep praying and hoping that Director Zhu Xiaoce would not accept any advertising jobs! As long as they did not earn income from advertising, the number of views would be useless to them no matter how high it became; they would not be able to generate profits!

…

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the second episode of Boss Pei’s Daily Life was published.

On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, Pei Qian left his home and went back to work.

He wanted to change the electrical appliances in his house, but no matter what he said, his parents refused. He had no choice but to leave it at that for now.

To Old Pei, it was a good thing that his son was earning money. However, since he had just earned thirty thousand yuan, it was best that he kept it for his own use. That was why he insisted on turning down the money.

Pei Qian could only wait.

If he brought new electrical appliances home that helped them to cook rice, his parents would agree to change all the electrical appliances even though they objected at first! Although Pei Qian could wait for the winter break to end before he returned to work, someone had to keep an eye on the situation in the office.

He was not afraid that the company’s projects would fail while he was gone; he was afraid that they would not fail!

After much hard work, he finally tasted the fruits of his labor the last time by incurring a loss of over twenty thousand yuan. This time, if he continued to work hard, he believed that he would easily be able to incur losses of seven to eight hundred thousand yuan.

Then, he could say that his short videos became popular, and he earned big bucks. With that excuse, he could spend money on his household without his parents objecting.

En, that was the plan!

…

On February 22nd, the third episode of Boss Pei’s Daily Life was published.

Once again, Pei Qian logged into the website and watched the video. Ho, all three videos had reached almost five hundred thousand views! The group of two or three hundred fans was rapidly expanding as well!

The recommendation spot the videos had on Potato Web was becoming better and better as well. What’s more, it was obvious that there was a possibility these videos would spread to other channels like Weibo.

Pei Qian quietly closed the video. He tried hard to keep calm.

It’s alright, it’s alright. It’s just one short video…

I poured a million yuan into this. There’s still a long way to go before I make that money back.

There’s no guarantee that they would get sponsored partnerships. Even if they did, they would probably not earn much from it.

Pei Qian could only comfort himself in this manner. Just as he was thinking hard about these things, he faintly heard greetings coming from outside his office.

“Director Zhu is here!

“Director Zhu, the short videos are becoming popular! Are you giving us a treat?

“Director Zhu, when will you do a special segment featuring me?”

Most people in the office were involved in the acting as well. Take Xiao Lu for example; he had many roles to play. For instance, in the first episode, he was the one who played the intern that created the game out of fifty thousand yuan.

Although the remuneration they got from acting was not much, they were very passionate! It was not important that they earned money. In any case, no matter how much Director Zhu offered them, he could not offer them more than the salary Boss Pei was paying!

What was most important to them was that their faces were featured.

Who did not want to become famous? Thus, when they saw Zhu Xiaoce arrive, everybody became especially warm.

They all wanted to become closer to Director Zhu, so that they would be given more roles in the later episodes. If possible, they even wanted their own special segments, such as A Day in the Life of Boss Pei’s Intern.

Zhu Xiaoce held onto his DSLR as he made promises to various people in the office. “Don’t worry! You will have more roles to play later on! You will all get a series of short videos after this!”

“However, you have to do your job well now. Otherwise, Boss Pei will not let me off.”

Once he appeased the crowd, Zhu Xiaoce finally approached the door to Pei Qian’s office. Gently, he knocked.
