Chapter 618 - Trip of Death to East Africa (1/2)

Huang Sibo sighed. “Alright, Boss Pei. I’ll pack for the journey when I get back.”

All of a sudden, Pei Qian noticed a problem. “Hold on.”

Huang Sibo could not help but feel surprised. “Eh? Boss Pei, have you changed your mind?”

Pei Qian shook his head. “No. You still must go, but I should send someone to accompany you on the journey. Of course, the company will pay for all of your expenses, and you will be paid your salary!”

Pei Qian thought, when one person went overseas, he would only be able to spend one person’s share of the money.

However, if two went, he would be able to spend double, wouldn’t he?

Before this, Li Yada and Bao Xu were able to go overseas together without the Systems stopping them. There was a bigger avenue for spending money now. Although it wasn’t big, Pei Qian would never give it up!

The System didn’t stop him anyway. All those who were placed second for the Best Employee Award would now get to go on a trip as well, and they would be forced to bring a partner. That would allow Pei Qian to deal with two people at once and experience double the happiness.

Wasn’t that great?

Huang Sibo was stunned. “Send someone to accompany me on the journey?”

Pei Qian smiled and nodded. “That’s right. For example, you could choose Zhu Xiaoce.”

That would ensure that the quality of the Sloth Apartments’ advertisement would drop significantly. Wouldn’t I be safe, then?

Huang Sibo became conflicted.

He definitely couldn’t choose Zhu Xiaoce because the advertisement wasn’t done. They wouldn’t be able to shoulder the responsibility for delaying Boss Pei’s plan for the Sloth Apartments!

Still, Huang Sibo felt too embarrassed to ask anyone else to go with him. They all had work to do!

All of Huang Sibo’s friends in Tengda Corporation were now people in charge of their own departments. All of them had important matters to tend to. If they went on a holiday with him, they would have to make arrangements for their work in advance. That would be very troublesome.

It didn’t seem like a good idea to disrupt anyone’s work. Putting himself in others’ shoes, Huang Sibo decided not to cause anyone any trouble.

This problem wouldn’t arise for ordinary employees, but Huang Sibo was not that close to them. It did not seem appropriate to invite them on a trip with him.

What’s more, some might feel unhappy if he invited an ordinary employee along. On what basis could that person go on a paid holiday without achieving any results? It wouldn’t be fair!

Thus, he had to look for someone like that:

A good friend who was quite close to him…

Someone who wasn’t in charge of his own department nor anything too important…

Someone with a certain level of skill, so that nobody would find it unfair that he’s going on a paid holiday…

That would be the perfect solution.

Huang Sibo immediately scanned his surroundings. All of a sudden, his eyes lit up. He had found someone who matched the criteria perfectly!

“Brother Bao! Do you want to go on the trip with me?” Huang Sibo sincerely extended the invitation to him.

Everyone turned to look at Bao Xu.

Bao Xu’s head was lowered as he intensely played games on his mobile phone. It was only when he felt the gazes piercing into his skin that Bao Xu looked up at everyone else in confusion.

“What’s the matter?”

When Bao Xu saw the selection end and that all three winners had no relation to the games department, he completely relaxed. He didn’t plan to watch the prize presentation. Instead, he happily played on his cell phone.

At that moment, everyone was looking straight at him, causing an ominous feeling to rise up in his gut.

Huang Sibo earnestly repeated himself.

“What… did you say?” Bao Xu was in utter disbelief.

Huang Sibo smiled. “Brother Bao, come and play with me. You’re not in charge of anything serious anyway, and you’re very familiar with your work. I think you’re the best candidate!

“We’re also good friends who haven’t caught up with each other in a while. Let’s take this chance to have a good chat! How about this? To express my sincerity, I’ll let you set the itinerary! I’ll follow wherever you go, and I won’t complain no matter how tiring it is!”

Bao Xu’s expression turned from confusion to shock and then from shock to helplessness.

Still, there was a hint of hope in the helplessness, which came from Boss Pei. Only Boss Pei could save him now.

Bao Xu quickly made his plea. “Boss Pei! This time is different from Li Yada’s! Huang Sibo absolutely can travel on his own. I don’t have to follow him!”

Pei Qian patted Bao Xu’s shoulder sympathetically. “I know. However, Huang Sibo’s choice is completely legitimate. I can’t say anything about it.”

Pei Qian was comforting Bao Xu on the surface, but his expression clearly said: ‘you can’t blame me now because it has nothing to do with me. Huang Sibo was the one who chose you by name!’

Everyone applauded to celebrate.

Indeed, a Best Employee Selection ceremony where Brother Bao did not have to go overseas would be incomplete! They had felt like something was missing before, but the gap was filled now! For some reason, they all felt complete!

Bao Xu remained silent for a long time. With his expression somber, he said, “Boss Pei, I want to go to the Great Rift Valley, Sahara Desert, and Mount Kilimanjaro in East Africa this time!”

Pei Qian was elated. “Of course!”

You actually chose those places on your own? That’s awesome! That’s exactly what I was thinking!

Huang Sibo’s smile froze on his face as question marks filled his mind.

?

The Great Rift Valley, the Sahara Desert, and Mount Kilimanjaro? Are those places where normal people would go to have fun? Why would Bao Xu want to go and play there?
