Chapter 241 - Barefoot Welcome? (1/2)

August 20th, Friday…

Qiao Liang felt quite good the first time he stepped onto Jingzhou soil.

The weather here was about the same as in Beijing. Both places were sizzling hot. However, it just happened to be a cloudy day today. There was a gentle breeze, and it felt much cooler than the past two days. Qiao Liang very quickly found the staff in charge of receiving him. Before he got in the car, he booked his hotel.

The person in charge of receiving him was a young man with the surname ‘Sun’. He was one of the chauffeurs hired by Tengda. He looked intelligent, his mannerisms were proper, and he was courteous.

Qiao Liang sat in the spacious back of the business car, feeling very comfortable. The driving was steady; it was obvious that the driver Little Sun had a lot of experience driving. This was the first time Qiao Liang was experiencing being chauffeured around. His impression of Tengda improved that much in his heart.

He looked at the scenery outside the window and could not help but feel moved. “It’s amazing.”

This was his first time in Jingzhou. He did not have much expectation to begin with, but after he arrived, he realized that it was much more prosperous than he had imagined.

Qiao Liang stayed in Beijing for a long time, and he was an immigrant at that. However, he had lived hard-pressed for money. Although Beijing was prosperous, he had never enjoyed the best experiences there.

The most he did was watch modern dramas and attend concerts occasionally when it was convenient. Apart from that, Beijing was really no different from ordinary second-tier cities. In fact, he felt much more relaxed when he arrived at Jingzhou.

Very quickly, they approached the hotel.

“Teacher Qiao, I’ll check in for you first. Then, you can go upstairs and unpack. I’ll park the car. In ten minutes, we’ll meet at the entrance of the hotel. The company is just nearby. We’ll just have to walk for about three minutes before we arrive.” Little Sun was still being very courteous. Soon, everything was settled. Qiao Liang did not have to pay a single cent for his accommodation this time. Tengda was providing everything. When he reached the sixth floor of the hotel, he realized that Tengda had booked a suite for him.

There was a mini- living room outside, with a coffee table, a couch, a study table, and a writing desk. There was a fruit plate laid out on the coffee table. Beside it, there was a coffee cabinet, with a coffee machine and coffee capsules on top. There was also a mini-fridge.

Inside was a spacious bedroom with full-length windows. There was also a spacious bathroom with a bathtub.

“Tengda’s Boss Pei is too kind! It looks like I’m quite influential. Otherwise, he would not think so highly of me.” Qiao Liang was very proud.

Speaking of which, Qiao Liang did not expect Tengda Games to invite him to play its game in advance, too. He was going to get a chance to play a game that had not even been published yet.

Indeed, the influence of his videos was not bad. From The Lonely Desert Road, he had been keeping a close eye on Tengda’s development as a company as well. However, to a game company like Tengda, there was no need to treat such a lowly UP Master like him well at all.

Thus, the sincerity that Boss Pei was showing was extra precious to Qiao Liang, and it genuinely moved him.

Not only were they giving him more than enough for his work, but they were also chauffeuring him around and providing such good accommodation.

Thus, Qiao Liang’s impression of Tengda and Boss Pei was improving significantly.

“Who would have thought that the company which created such a horrendous game like The Lonely Desert Road could have undergone a complete change in less than a year and expand to such an extent now?

“Life is truly unpredictable.”

Qiao Liang put his suitcases away, ate some fruits, and then got some rest on the couch.

He did not have many suitcases. Apart from his personal laptop and a few other digital products, he only brought clothes that he was prepared to wash and re-wear.

The hotel provided laundry services. He would just have to place his dirty clothes in a laundry bag, and room service would take them away. Later, they would return with the clothes washed.

Before he came, Qiao Liang had been worried about the standard of accommodation here. He wondered if it would be convenient for him to do laundry. However, from the looks of the current situation, he had worried unnecessarily.

He was extremely comfortable on the couch. However, it was a cloudy day, and there was not much sunlight. Otherwise, if he could feel the warmth of the sun from the couch, he would be even more comfortable.

Still, the cloudy weather did not affect Qiao Liang’s mood. After resting for a while, he went downstairs and arrived in a huge hall. From there, Little Sun led him to Tengda Network Technology Co., Ltd.
