Chapter 270 - Teacher Qiao, You Cannot Publish a Video (1/2)

Although he had verbally agreed, Pei Qian knew very well that he could not rush these things. He had to consider this at length and approach it carefully.

Lin Wan was now extremely confident. At the same time, she was extremely wary of her own family members.

Pei Qian was sure that she knew her father would be anxious about her game’s success. She would expect him to plot for her return to the family. If Pei Qian made it just a little bit too obvious, Lin Wan would realize what he was up to for sure. Thus, not only did Pei Qian have to think of a way to send Lin Wan away, but he could not also allow Lin Wan to think that it had anything to do with her own family. She could not suspect that her father, Lin Yu, and the others were trying to cause trouble for her behind the scenes.

How should he go about it?

It would have been a good choice to select her as the most outstanding employee, but it’s still too early to select the most outstanding employee now.

What if he made an exception for Lin Wan and held a selection in the near future?

On one hand, it seemed too fake. On the other hand, he could not guarantee that everyone would vote for Lin Wan. Bao Xu was also a strong competitor.

If he wanted to make sure Lin Wan was selected, Pei Qian would have to resort to under-the-table tricks. That was too troublesome.

Pei Qian pondered for a moment and decided that the best way would be to expand the business.

He would tell Lin Wan that Tengda was planning to start a new business. As the most outstanding employee, Lin Wan would be put in charge of a new job.

Then, he would make her life more difficult so that she would back off. Yet, how should he go about it practically? Pei Qian had not thought about a good idea yet.

For now, Pei Qian had no choice but to verbally promise Lin Chang and Lin Yu. He could not rush things.

After all, Repent and Be Saved would be released in about a week or so. Pei Qian’s primary goal was to ensure that he would incur losses before settlement.

September 29th, Wednesday…

Pei Qian went to check on Fish Catching Internet Cafe’s new branch.

Ma Yang and Zhang Yuan followed Pei Qian’s requests strictly and made opening for business as soon as possible their first priority. Thus, they did not spend too much time on renovation. The internet cafe still looked largely simple. However, they purchased identical tables and computers as before. In addition, they put up Fish Catching Internet Cafe’s logo at the entrance. One would still be able to tell this branch belonged to them.

Pei Qian walked around the shop, feeling satisfied.

After getting rid of the coffee shop and bar, the entire shop became mostly occupied by computers. It looked much more compact than the existing branches.

There was a lounge area with a projector just like the mini cinema in the existing Fish Catching Internet Cafe branches.

After all, the mini cinema took up space but did not generate revenue. Pei Qian did not see a reason to get rid of it.

The hardware was still top-quality and guaranteed that bigger games would be able to run on them. In fact, it was more than enough to play games on.

After he surveyed the branch, he praised Zhang Yuan and Ma Yang’s efficiency and then left. It did not matter what condition the internet cafe was in now-as long as it was able to incur losses with the next week or two.

Thus, Pei Qian had to observe the situation for the week.

Finally, Pei Qian returned to Fish-Catching Internet Cafe’s Handong University branch. Research and development of Repent and Be Saved were almost complete. They were supposed to release the game on October 1st. At the moment, the final edits were mostly done.

In other words, Teacher Qiao had finished his historical assignment. In this month or so, Teacher Qiao had made significant contributions to the system’s design of Repent and Be Saved. Pei Qian remained deeply grateful for him.

It was time for Pei Qian to say some sincere words to Teacher Qiao.

“Boss Pei, thank you for taking care of me during this period. This trip to Jingzhou has been very meaningful to me!

“Repent and Be Saved is rich in content and meaning. Once I get back to Beijing, I will produce a video to share the lessons I have learned from playing this game!”

Qiao Liang looked extremely energetic. Ever since he arrived in Jingzhou, Qiao Liang had been on an emotional rollercoaster. He faced many setbacks and difficulties.

He felt overjoyed, confused, and doubtful of his own life.

Yet, now, he only had one feeling: a sense of achievement!

Apart from the material rewards, he also had the chance to see Boss Pei face to face. He ate top-quality delicacies in the nameless restaurant and completed Repent and Be Saved before anyone else had the chance to play it.

To Qiao Liang, he already had a significant edge over other UP Masters. In terms of skills or understanding of the game, he would be much better than others. Once he produced a video introducing the game, it would prove to be another explosive one!

At that thought, Qiao Liang felt the fighting spirit ignite in his heart. He was going to gain much more popularity!

However, Pei Qian remained quiet. This was especially so when he heard Qiao Liang say he would produce a video as soon as possible. At once, both his hands began to tremble.

Pei Qian knew how influential Teacher Qiao’s videos could be. From The Lonely Desert Road to Game Designer, Teacher Qiao’s videos brought huge waves of attention and players. They always caused huge losses to Pei Qian.

Thus, he had to take care of an unstable factor like Teacher Qiao. At the very least, Pei Qian could not allow history to repeat itself. His expression still serious, Pei Qian said, “No, Teacher Qiao, you cannot publish a video.”

Qiao Liang paused. “Why not?”

He looked confused. Aren’t I advertising on your behalf by publishing videos?

What’s more, Repent and Be Saved is such a difficult game. The plot is so deep. Don’t you want a hardcore gamer like me to explain it to ordinary players?
