Chapter 363 - Insane Travel Itinerary (1/2)

The annual meeting was over. The lucky draws were done, the claw machines were empty, and everyone’s stomachs were filled. They all began to leave the venue, one by one.

Pei Qian glanced at his watch. It was past 4 PM; the timing had been just right.

Many prizes had been distributed. Apart from cell phones and red packets—which were much easier to carry around, there had also been televisions, air purifiers, and game machines. They were much harder to carry.

Furthermore, almost all the one thousand people who came had won something. If they were to line up to collect their prizes one by one, it would have taken a long time.

Thus, the list of winners would be made available for all to see on the Intranet. Furthermore, each person would be notified of the prize that they won through the internal communications software.

After that, Upwind Logistics’ delivery men would be placed in charge of delivering the prizes to the winners’ doorsteps.

After all, everyone was already carrying bags of toys and chibi dolls. There was no way they could carry the prizes from the lucky draw as well.

Pei Qian was very satisfied with how the annual meeting had turned out.

It had fulfilled his requirements perfectly!

He had spent money and saved time; it was perfect!

Bao Xu left the event location sulking.

What should he do?!

He had thought that he would be safe until the next Best Employee Selection.

He never would have thought that the grand prize for the annual meeting would be a trip —and a trip for two, at that!

It was troublesome enough having to travel alone; how was he going to find a partner to travel with?!

I want to die, I want to die…

He had no clue where he should go either. As he walked, his eyes suddenly brightened. He noticed a familiar-looking figure. Chen Kangtuo!

If his memory didn’t fail him, this fellow had won the same prize.

Bao Xu thought about going to ask Chen Kangtuo what plans the latter had and which city the latter would go to. Perhaps he could tag along.

If Chen Kangtuo was going to plan his own itinerary, Bao Xu would have one less thing to worry about.

At that thought, he silently approached Chen Kangtuo. However, just as he was about to ask Chen Kangtuo the question, he noticed Chen Kangtuo meeting Ye Zhizhou, Hao Qiong, and Lin Wan in secret. The four of them entered the small cafe by the side.

Bao Xu could not help but frown.

Eh? Have they decided where they would go? Or are they trying to work overtime in secret as well?

Bao Xu quickly followed behind Chen Kangtuo.

Lin Wan, Ye Zhizhou, Hao Qiong, and Chen Kangtuo walked into the cafe and found a table. Lin Wan cautiously looked outside the door and asked, “No one followed us, right?”

Chen Kangtuo answered, “I think Brother Bao followed us.”

Lin Wan paused. “Bao Xu? That’s great! Quick, ask him to come over!”

Bao Xu was still standing outside the door, thinking about whether he should enter. At that moment, Chen Kangtuo came out and pulled him in and then invited him to sit down next to him.

Bao Xu was bewildered.

What’s happening? Why are they sneaking around?

It reminds me of how I’m like when I work overtime in secret…

Lin Wan cleared her throat and asked, “Brother Bao, have you thought about where you’re going for your trip? You seem quite experienced in this area.”

Bao Xu was speechless. “…”

Stop rubbing your nose in my business!

With a bitter expression, Bao Xu replied, “Stop talking about it. I’m worried enough about it. I don’t want this experience at all — not in the least bit!”

“But Boss Pei already said that you can’t transfer this prize to someone else,” replied Chen Kangtuo.

Bao Xu nodded helplessly. “That’s right. I’ve already thought about it. Didn’t Boss Pei say that I can choose any city I want? I’m going to choose Jingzhou City! Then, I’ll be able to stay in a five-star hotel in the city and continue to go to work to play games every single day…”

Chen Kangtuo cleared his throat. “Brother Bao, guard your tongue! If you really do that, what kind of impression do you think Boss Pei would form of you?

“Wouldn’t you be shooting yourself in the foot?!”

A realization dawned on Bao Xu.

That’s right!

That would be far too dangerous. Why was he acting like he was not already in enough trouble?!

If he really did that, he would probably win another one-month paid holiday at the next Best Employee Selection.

He was letting his emotions affect his decisions this time. He could not allow that!

Bao Xu sighed, frustrated. “That does seem impracticable.

“What should I do then…? What city are you planning to go to? Can I come along? You can decide on the itinerary, and I’ll just follow behind you and keep myself entertained the entire time.”

Chen Kangtuo smiled subtly and then glanced at Lin Wan.

Lin Wan confidently said, “We’ve already decided to go to Texas in the United States.”

Bao Xu scratched his head. “Texas? Is there anything special about the place?”

Lin Wan answered, “Of course! The scariest haunted house is located there: The ‘Smog Mountain’ State Mental Hospital!

Bao Xu, “???”

He scanned the four other people around the table and realized that each of them had different expressions. Chen Kangtuo looked like he was facing death with equanimity.

Hao Qiong looked both solemn and sorrowful.

Ye Zhizhou looked slightly pale and very apprehensive.

Lin Wan looked to be in the best condition. Her eyes were filled with determination.

Bao Xu was confused. “It’s just a simple trip. Do you have to risk your life…? What’s more, I never knew you all had such a unique hobby.. “Wait… are you trying to get inspiration from there?”

Bao Xu suddenly realized something. Lin Wan and Ye Zhizhou were in charge of a horror game while Hao Qiong and Chen Kangtuo were in charge of a haunted house.

All of them were related to horror!
