Chapter 494 - Who would Dare to Teach Boss Pei? (2/2)

Pei Qian, “…”

Look at how things had turned out…

Pei Qian was not fastidious with semantics. People could say that he was trying to learn or to make connections as long as he could achieve the same results.

However, the System’s requirements were clear. He had to learn something. What’s more, the 1.6 million yuan had to be spent as school fees or education-related expenses.

Having an exchange or being interviewed would not fulfill the System’s requirements!

Pei Qian did not expect to be rejected, much less for that kind of reason. Everyone thought that Boss Pei was too good at game design, and they were too embarrassed to teach him!

Pei Qian was obviously unhappy.

It had taken him a long time to come up with this solution. How could he give up so easily? Of course, he could not!

Since everyone was unwilling to teach him, Pei Qian would have to seek guidance under a different name!

All this time, Pei Qian had been keeping his identity a secret on purpose. Until now, very few people had seen his true face. What’s more, he had not allowed any pictures or videos to be taken of him in interviews.

In other words, even if he met a designer, they would not recognize him as Boss Pei.

Pei Qian thought about disguising as a rich second-generation heir with loads of money, who wanted to spend 1.6 million yuan on inviting a successful game designer to teach him about game design.

In any case, rich second-generation heirs did all sorts of questionable things. The game designers would not suspect a thing.

Still, that would create another problem.

The System would be the one paying 1.6 million yuan. If the sum was transferred to the other party from the company’s bank account, it would be reflected as an incoming sum of money from Tengda Corporation. What would the other party think then?

Why would a rich second-generation heir pay his education fees via Tengda’s company account?

That would not do.

After further thought, Pei Qian decided to use another identity instead. He would not be a rich second-generation heir but an outstanding employee of Tengda instead. He had performed exceptionally at work, and so Boss Pei was forking out 1.6 million yuan for him to upgrade his skills in any way.

This outstanding employee had always been interested in pursuing game design. Now that he had been given a huge sum of money, he had decided to hire an elite game designer and learn from that game designer’s success.

That meant that Pei Qian could not be an employee from the game department. Instead, he would be from… the investment department!

He had received a special reward from Boss Pei because he had made a successful investment.

Yes, that story should be believable.

Someone could ask ‘if you’re an employee of Tengda, why don’t you just learn about game design from Boss Pei?’

Then, he would reply ‘Boss Pei is so busy that he can’t spare the time.’

Although there would be gaps in the story, there would not be huge problems. In any case, he would try to bluff as many people as he could. He just had to get a game designer to agree to come down and teach him and then successfully spend the 1.6 million yuan.

What’s more, all of those things were technically true. Pei Qian could be counted as an outstanding employee of Tengda Corporation. He had also achieved outstanding results in the investment department.

He would just be hiding one simple fact: this outstanding employee was also Boss Pei.

After some thought, Pei Qian said, “How about this? Contact a few more companies and say that there’s an outstanding employee in our company’s investment department who wants to learn about game design. We’ll pay them to come and give lessons.”

Assistant Xin immediately understood his intentions. “Alright, Boss Pei.”

She knew very well that the ‘outstanding employee’ that Boss Pei had referred to was himself and that he was just trying to avoid frightening people to the point that they did not dare to teach him.

Yet, why was Boss Pei insisting on hiring a game designer to teach him?

Assistant Xin was very curious, but she still did not ask any questions. Boss Pei had always been a very unique person, and this was not the most confusing thing that he had ever done. It was not worth kicking up a fuss over. Another ten minutes passed, and Assistant Xin returned.

“Boss Pei, a game designer said he would consider.”

Pei Qian was overjoyed. “Who is it?”

Assistant Xin answered, “It’s Boss He An of Mengguo Games. He’s one of the older game designers in the country, and he has created many notable standalone games and online games. He is also very well known in the game industry. Since he’s semi-retired, he’s been flying around the country and enjoying life. “What do you think, Boss Pei?”

Pei Qian nodded his head. “Sure!”

In any case, all of the successful game designers were about the same to Pei Qian. All of them probably had a unique understanding of computer games. As long as they were willing to come down, Pei Qian was not fussed.

Assistant Xin nodded. “Alright, I’ll book his air tickets now. Boss He is now semi-retired, and he happens to be free at the moment. If all goes well, he should arrive in Jingzhou tomorrow.

“Oh, that’s right. Boss He also said that he wants to do a simple test when he arrives. He won’t teach anyone too stupid.”

At that point, Assistant Xin laughed. “Of course, that would be a negligible thing to you, Boss Pei.”

Once she finished speaking, Assistant Xin turned around and left.

Yet, Pei Qian’s jaw hung low as he was stunned.

What? A negligible thing?

At that moment, Pei Qian felt like a student who had not done a single bit of review but who had just been told that he had to sit for a test.

It sounded easy, but he really knew nothing! Was it too late to review now?

Here came the problem… he had no idea what kind of questions Boss He would come up with, and he didn’t even have any materials. How could he review…?

At once, Pei Qian frowned. He began to seriously doubt his own decision.
