Chapter 544 - Your Tengda can Run, but It can’t Hide! (1/2)

<strong>Chapter 544 Your Tengda can Run, but It can’t Hide!</strong>

That question stumped Pei Qian. That’s right. If GOG mindlessly follows suit, what should they do? Pei Qian knew that there had already been inconsistencies in his decisions. Before this, Tengda had been competing with other companies, which could not compete with Tengda when it came to burning money. After all, other companies would either burn their bosses’ money or their investors’ money. Unless the boss did not care for money-just like Pei Qian, they would not be as carefree when it came to spending.

Thus, Tengda would always be able to burn the most money.

However, GOG was Tengda’s game, and it had the same spending capacity!

Still, Pei Qian quickly calmed himself down. It was just a minor problem with the system.

I just have to make sure that IOI perpetually has more funds than GOG, right?

If they were comparing who could spend more

-of course, the one with more ammunition would have the greater advantage! What’s more, if both games tried hard to spend as much money as possible, it would be excellent for Pei Qian!

He had just been worried that there were not enough avenues to spend on.

At that thought, Pei Qian smiled. “Don’t worry. I will make sure that you always have more money than GOG.”

It was not possible to limit GOG’s funds. After all, Pei Qian had just allowed them to freely spend fifty percent of their profits a while ago. He could not change that policy all of a sudden.

If anything, he was more worried that people might misunderstand him. What if they started thinking hard about Boss Pei’s ‘deeper intentions? What if they assumed that he was hinting at everyone to stop spending money freely?

That would achieve the exact opposite of what Pei Qian wanted. Thus, GOG should still be allowed to spend whatever they had. All Pei Qian had to do was ensure that IOI’s local server always had more funds than GOG.

GOG wouldn’t be able to turn the tables around now, would it?

Everyone’s eyes lit up again. Indeed, Boss Pei lived up to his reputation! Just a single move from him could solve all of their problems! It was not hard to think of spending money, but he was being so decisive and firm about it, without displaying any hint of worry. Not everyone had that amount of courage.

On top of that, only someone like Boss Pei could promise that IOI would always have more money than GOG. With renewed motivation, Ye Zhizhou said, “Alright, Boss Pei. We’ll start planning immediately to regain our foothold!”

After leaving Shang Yang Games, Pei Qian relaxed.

He glanced at his watch; it was past 3 PM. It did not seem like a bad idea to go home, lie down on the sofa in his living room, and bask in the afternoon sun.

At that moment, his cell phone rang. It was Li Shi.

Pei Qian: “?”

All of a sudden, he felt like he was facing a formidable enemy. Don’t tell me that something went wrong with Thriller Hostel. Otherwise, could this be about the Golden Maze?

Could Li Shi be interested in investing in Dream Realization Ventures as well?

That’s not right. Li Sh could not possibly want to invest in the Fully-Automated Bickering Machine, right? He was not high on drugs; how could he be so irrational?

Pei Qian immediately began to panic upon seeing Li Shi’s name. He was afraid that Li Shi would invest in his projects without any hesitation and then cause the projects that had been secretly incurring losses to become popular. Yet, he could not ignore Li Shi’s call. Behaving like an ostrich would not save him from being stabbed in the back.

Pei Qian had no choice but to accept the call.

“Hello? Boss Li, what’s the matter?”

Li Shi’s voice sounded through the phone. “Boss Pei, it’s nothing much. I have a friend who wants to meet you to talk about something. I wonder if you have the time.

“I think you’ve heard of this friend of mine before. You might even have met him. He’s Wang Peng, one of the creators of Quanmin Reviews.

“Wang Peng, Xue Zhebin, and I are partners. We started Ming House together. Do you remember?”

Pei Qian’s eyes widened. He did remember. He remembered him very well. That name is still in my little notebook! Although he was pretty low on the list, Pei Qian could never forget about him.

Back then, Wang Peng and Xue Zhebin had a meal at Ming Yun Private Kitchen and then marked it out on Quanmin Reviews’ application. They had written a long review and instructed their programmer to leave the name of the restaurant blank.

That was how Ming Yun Private Kitchen’s losses turned to profits. Pei Qian’s hatred for him ran deep! How dare he come and see me?

Pei Qian wanted to turn down the invitation by saying that he was overwhelmed with work. However, on further thought, he decided that it would be best to meet him.

What if this man secretly plots against me? If I don’t meet him, I would remain in the dark, wouldn’t I?

Pei Qian pondered for a moment. “I have time right now and tomorrow. I’ll leave it up to Boss Wang.”

Li Shi was overjoyed. “That’s great! Shall we meet at Fish-Catching Internet Cafe’s Handong University branch in an hour?”

Pei Qian: “Alright, but… what is this about?”

Li Shi laughed. “Boss Pei, you’ll find out when we meet. We wouldn’t waste your precious time!”

Pei Qian: “…”

Why was it that the more he heard, the more terrified he felt?

At Fish-Catching Internet Cafe, Handong University branch…

A short while after Pei Qian arrived, Li Shi and Wang Peng walked into the restaurant. “Boss Pei!”

“Boss Li, Boss Wang.”

After exchanging a couple of hypocritical pleasantries with both men, Pei Qian sat down with them. A bad feeling arose in Pei Qian’s gut as he observed Wang Peng’s wide grin.

What was he so happy about?

“Boss Wang, why did you want to meet me?” Pei Qian asked, feeling slightly worried. Pei Qian had an ominous feeling every time someone met him full of smiles!

Wang Peng grinned at Boss Pei but did not answer his question. Instead, he glanced at Li Shi and said, “I heard from Boss Li that you’re a lucky charm, Boss Pei. Whoever gets close to you will get lucky!

“If they treat you kindly, they would reap extremely generous rewards as well. “After what happened with Ming House, I was still half-doubtful. However, I am completely convinced now!”

Pei Qian looked confused. After a moment of silence, question marks filled his mind.

What’s he trying to say? I’m a lucky charm? Why don’t I feel the same way?

Your good luck is bad luck to me!

Seeing Boss Pei’s indifference, Li Shi smiled and said to Wang Peng, “Boss Wang, just cut to the chase. Boss Pei doesn’t like being left hanging

“What’s more, Boss Pei is extremely busy all the time. There are a lot of things that require his attention. I don’t think he even knows about this.”

Pei Qian opened his mouth, but no sound came out of it. Something about what Boss Li had said didn’t sit right with Pei Qian, but he could not find any major mistakes either.

Wang Peng nodded. “Alright, I’ll cut to the chase, then. Boss Pei, do you know that the nameless restaurant has become famous on foreign websites thanks to a famous food blogger?!” Pei Qian,”??!” I didn’t know that!

Li Shi noticed Boss Pei’s unchanging expression and sniggered. “See, I told you that Boss Pei’s extremely busy. How could something as small as this bother him?

“Branch Manager Lin must have handled everything on his own. If he had to report every little thing to Boss Pei, wouldn’t he be as good as useless?”

After realizing that Pei Qian knew nothing about this, Wang Peng became even more excited.
