Chapter 188 - A Few ‘Outstanding Students! (1/2)

After sending Lin Chang off, Pei Qian quickly received a notification of payment.

It was a total of three hundred thousand yuan. All of it went into Pei Qian’s Personal Wealth.

It was obvious that the System would not be bothered if others gave Pei Qian money. As long as it was reasonable for him to keep the money and others would not become suspicious of the existence of the System, everything would be alright.

However, Pei Qian could not spend all of this money. He had to take a portion out and use it as fees for props. He could not be stingy with this either.

To put it bluntly, he had to do this so that Lin Chang would not grow suspicious of Pei Qian.

Pei Qian could not take this sum of money and splurge on himself. If Lin Chang did not hear a sound from him after that, it would not look reasonable.

There was a possibility that Lin Chang would not care how Pei Qian spent this three hundred thousand yuan. However, there was also a possibility that he would. One could not be too sure.

If Lin Chang began to ask questions, Pei Qian had to have a reasonable answer. Although the possibility of this happening was not high, he had to err on the side of caution.

Thus, Pei Qian set aside two hundred thousand yuan as remuneration and left a hundred thousand yuan to buy props. He had to put on an act and produce something.

This project was bound to fail, but that did not matter. Lin Chang was well-prepared to make ducks and drakes of this three hundred thousand yuan.

Pei Qian just had to act as if he did not really need this money, and he was just playing around. As long as Lin Chang did not grow suspicious, he would be alright.

He looked at the three hundred thousand yuan sitting quietly in his bank card. Then, he looked at the remaining sum in his Personal Wealth-slightly more than 370,000 yuan. Pei Qian could not help but feel sorrowful.

He had expended so much effort in running his company and earning ten million yuan, and yet he could only convert it to a hundred thousand yuan. On the other hand, casually running a side business easily earned him two hundred thousand yuan.

After discovering this method of playing punk, there seemed to be even fewer reasons for Pei Qian to convert Personal Wealth from profit.

July 1st…

Pei Qian opened his laptop and checked his own grades.

Yes, I just barely passed everything…

“I feel like I’ve been infected by Old Ma. Forget it. I still have to think of ways to lose money. I have no more energy to think about academics. It’s good enough that I managed to pass.”

Pei Qian comforted himself.

He was studying for a major in humanities. His examinations mainly required him to memorize huge amounts of content. Therefore, it was not difficult for him to pass even though he only put in an effort at the last minute.

Pei Qian did not want to drop out of school now.

It was not that he desired a graduation certificate. To him, the graduation certificate would be useless. However, the main problem was… he would have nothing else to do if he dropped out of school.

These days, Pei Qian had been attending classes out of obligation. Whenever he felt lazy, he would go to his rented apartment to take a nap or play some games. It was only when the settlement was nearing that he had to keep a closer eye on the company and work hard to incur losses.

Even if he did drop out of school, he would be cooping himself up in the rented apartment all day. There would be no huge change in his life.

What’s more, Pei Qian did not want to expose his own identity.

Currently, many people around Pei Qianincluding a few of his classmates-knew that Pei Qian had starred in Boss Pei’s Daily Life. They took him as an internet celebrity. However, none of them were aware that he was the boss of Tengda.

Pei Qian had three main worries.

First, he was worried about his parents.

Second, he was worried that if his classmates found out he was a boss, their relationship with him would become a mess. Then, Pei Qian could expect people to approach him for jobs or money every day. That would be extremely annoying

Third, although Pei Qian was a boss, the amount of money he could actually use in his Personal Wealth was too little. He was afraid that people who hated the rich or who were extremely hot-headed would have their eyes on him and wait for opportunities to blow small conflicts.

Pei Qian could not reveal the existence of the System. Thus, he wanted to avoid unnecessary trouble. As much as possible, he wanted to keep his identity hidden from others and minimize risks.

He was living in relative comfort these days. For now, Pei Qian had no plans to change his lifestyle.

Of course, if he could lose millions of yuan every once in a while, it would be great.

The holidays were approaching. Many classmates who had completed their examinations and checked their results had gone home in advance. Yet, for Pei Qian, the week of trying hard to incur losses had just begun.

Pei Qian was prepared to make a list of the various projects he had on hand. He wanted to analyze their profit and loss situation and come up with a plan to incur more losses.

He created a digital spreadsheet and wrote two lines of words. Then, he ran a search for some information. Finally, out of habit, he entered Aili Island’s website and began to catch up on some shows he had been watching.

Without realizing it, an hour had passed.

“Eh, what did I want to do just now?” Pei Qian suddenly thought about this question.

At that moment, Pei Qian’s phone rang. When he saw the name displayed on his phone, he hesitated.
