Chapter 402 - How to Thank Boss Pei (1/2)

January 22nd, Saturday…

Pei Qian was in a good mood last night. Moreover, he had a little wine with Cui Geng at the Ming House so he slept very well.

He woke up naturally at nine in the morning.

He glanced at his phone after he woke up. There was a memo on it. “Go to Huanyu Tianjie and take a look at the shared phone booth.”

Pei Qian took his time, preparing to head to the steamed bun shop downstairs for breakfast before heading over.

Pei Qian received another news when the steamed buns were brought out. Huang Sibo, “Boss Pei, the rough cut of the film is out. Would you like to take a look?”

Hmm? Rough cut?

Director Zhu Xiaoce did seem to mention this when the crew was eating at Ming Yun Private Kitchen. The so-called rough cut version was just a product of simple editing with the material that was shot. There would be no special effects yet, and one had to be imaginative with a lot of the content.

However, it was still a complete film in which you could see something.

Pei Qian considered it. It seemed like this was more important. He could go to the phone booth in the afternoon. He then replied, “Okay, I’ll be there soon.”

He was about to keep his phone when he realized something was wrong.

“Today is Saturday. You are working overtime?”

Huang Sibo replied in no time, “Um, Boss Pei, we paid overtime.”

Pei Qian put on a tough attitude. “You cannot work overtime so self-righteously even if you are giving overtime pay! Avoid it at all costs in the future!”

Huang Sibo, “I understand, Boss Pei.”

Fei Huang Workspace was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tengda, not a department. Pei Qian was not able to be too strict with the overtime for it. He could only chide Huang Sibo and let him carry it out by himself.

Pei Qian might not have asked much from Fei Huang Workspace, but he definitely had to take the trip to Fei Huang Workspace. He had to give himself reassurance since the rough cut of the film was already out.

Fish-Catching Internet Cafe, Handong University branch…

Lin Chang ordered a cup of hot coffee and drank it while warming his hands. He still felt a little dusty. He just came from the airport and had yet to settle down.

The first thing he did when arriving in Jingzhou was to come to the Fish-Catching Internet Cafe near Handong University, hoping to meet Boss Pei to discuss the progress of the previous plan.

AS

Unfortunately, he only knew that Boss Pei had reached Fei Huang Workspace and was watching the rough cut samples when he sent the news.

He would need at least three hours to watch the clips and travel.

Moreover, Boss Pei said that he had a matter he had delayed for a very long time to deal with in the afternoon. He might be delayed for at least another hour.

Lin Chang estimated that he would only be able to meet Boss Pei at three to four in the afternoon.

Now, that was awkward.

Lin Chang knew that Boss Pei was usually busy at work. He fully understood that, but he did not plan to just sit around and wait either. He decided to meet Lin Wan and observe the progress for a while.

Previously, Lin Chang and Boss Pei conspired pretty well to let Lin Wan be in charge of the horror games of Shang Yang Games while being in charge of the cell phone business.

There were many complications on both sides which greatly increased the chance of failure for Lin Wan’s projects.

The two of them originally considered leaving room for maneuver.

To better combat the mobile phone business, they were considering releasing a mobile phone here.

Lin Yu was in charge of developing a benchmark mobile phone in Shenhua’s cell phone department. The quality of the phone would be a bit better and would be a little cheaper. Their publicity would also be a little better.

Such close-contact combat was to eliminate hidden dangers in the budding stage enough for them to remain invincible.

However, Boss Pei sent Lin Chang a message when this mobile phone was developed halfway: ‘there was no need for this backup plan.’

This cell phone was going for 8,000 yuan. Shenhua’s flagship cell phone could already meet the requirements for ‘higher quality, lower price, and better publicity’. There was no need to build a targeted mobile phone.

Therefore, there was no need for this back up plan.

Lin Wan arrived just as he was thinking. She sat down opposite of Lin Chang and ordered a coffee as well. She then frowned and asked, “Brother, why are you here again?”

Lin Chang’s mouth twitched. “What do you mean by ‘again’? Can’t I see my own sister?”

Lin Wan looked on with disbelief. “I feel like you’re running here very frequently. Do you have some ulterior motive?”

“How is that possible?! I just like the livable Jingzhou environment!” Lin Chang smiled rather unassumingly. “Also, don’t I have to come over and see you frequently? How are you doing? Everything going well?”

Lin Wan swirled the coffee in her cup. “It’s still alright.”

Lin Chang couldn’t help but be secretly delighted by Lin Wan’s low spirits.

There might be an opportunity!

Lin Wan would have boasted about it if these two projects were progressing well. The two projects must not be going well since Lin Wan was not boasting!

He was rejoicing within, but he could not show it on his face.
