Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

Chapter 1280: Arrange For Everyone in the Project Team At Least Once!

What the f*ck was there to worry about a paid holiday?!

Leave all these troublesome things to me. The more, the better!

Sun Xi would never have thought that Min Jingchao, who looked very reliable with thick eyebrows and big eyes, was actually Master Versailles?

Especially when his expression was completely serious when he mentioned this. It was impossible to tell that he was in Versailles at all. Instead, he was sincerely expressing some distress.

It was just like how many people would complain that their work was too heavy, that they had worked overtime too much, and that their leaders ignored them.

Min Jingchao saw Sun Xi’s constipated expression and knew that he had probably misunderstood. He explained, “Tengda’s paid holiday is different from what you think.”

“Look at this video.”

Min Jingchao clicked on his cell phone a few times and opened a video on Aili Island’s website. It was the promotional video that Meng Chang made for Suffering Travels.

After a moment of silence, Sun Xi reached out and took it.

That meant I want to see how you can continue pretending after this!

The video was not long. In the beginning, he heard a deep male voice reciting the voice-over. “There are many experiences in life that you have not experienced before. You have not gone to a faraway place. Whether you see it or not, they will wait there.”

“You can travel many times and there can be many types of beautiful places. When they meet you, they would become unique…”

Coupled with the voice-overs, there were all sorts of beautiful scenery. There was a sea camera view of a lush forest. Some people were climbing rocks, quickly descending, and treading water to challenge the natural scene.

The video was very professional in terms of filming equipment and technique. It was a very standard promotional video.

What’s more, it was simpler and more direct than other travel promotional videos.

Many promotional videos of travel agencies were often more artistic. There were many beautiful girls walking in the wild in long dresses, picking wildflowers, writing in notebooks with fountain pens, and so on.

After all, females were a very important and high-quality target user group for the travel agency. It was a key target that they had to fight for. Filming more beautiful girls would also make the entire promotional video look more pleasing to the eye.

These were all conclusions that he had reached after continuous exploration in order to comply with market demand.

However, this promotional video did not film anything unrelated to travel. There was only beautiful scenery and realistic challenging natural scenes. Even the voice-over was a low male voice.

However, other than that, it was no different from other travel agencies’ promotional videos.

Sun Xi was a little surprised. “Suffering Travels? Why haven’t I heard of this travel company?”

Traveller Bao Xu might be a little famous but Suffering Travel was still an internal project at the moment. It had not been promoted on a large scale. Therefore, people who paid close attention to Tengda’s various new industries might know that ordinary people like Sun Xi who only paid attention to Tengda Games did not know much about Suffering Travel.

Min Jingchao briefly explained the reason for the suffering trip and said, “The people you saw in the video are all the people in charge of Tengda’s various departments. They have been suffering outside for two months including the special training last month.”

“I came to help and escaped a calamity. I can be said to be very lucky.”

Sun Xi: “…”

Hard to understand!

How was this suffering? It was obviously a benefit!

“Jingchao, I think you’re going a little overboard. What’s this bit of suffering? It’s nothing more than walking in the wild and playing rock climbing. How interesting!”

“Isn’t it good to experience nature’s scenery and relieve the fatigue caused by overtime?”

Min Jingchao was silent for a moment. “You think this way because this promotional video is a little deceiving…”

He knew what Hu Xianbin had encountered during his torturous travels. Thus, he knew very well that the promotional video was only showing the best side of himself in advance.

It was just like how many big shots posted videos of themselves climbing rocks and surfing on the internet. At first glance, they felt that it was especially impressive and exciting. Once they really started, it was completely different!

Sun Xi was completely nonchalant. “What kind of deception can there be? No matter how much deception we do, the nature of paid travel will not change!”

“Sigh, I’m so envious. I really hope that Boss Zhou can arrange such benefits for us.”

Min Jingchao sniggered. “If you really want to go… you can give Boss Zhou a nudge. After the development of Bullet Hole 2 is complete, you can arrange something for everyone and let them suffer together.”

“Of course, I won’t go. Those who want to go can enthusiastically sign up.”

Sun Xi was elated. “Really? That’s great! However… there’s not much hope if I were to raise it. There might still be hope if Jingchao, you were to do it, !”

A paid holiday was too blissful. He did not dare to think about it.

However, it was not completely hopeless. If the game succeeded and earned money, Zhou Muyan would still be very generous.

However, it would be best if Min Jingchao were to raise this request given his status. It would not be effective for others to raise it.

Min Jingchao chuckled. “No problem. I’ll tell Boss Zhou later and I’ll definitely satisfy your wishes.”

He could not ask for anything better.

That was because the number of people that could be accepted in each cycle of suffering was limited.

Min Jingchao might have gone to Guangzhou but he did not completely escape the shadow of the Suffering Travels.

What if one day Boss Pei decided to send him to the latest episode on a whim?

Since Sun Xi and Sun Strike Studios were so envious and wanted to go, he could ask Boss Zhou to let them go.

Wouldn’t Min Jingchao be safe with the quotas filled?

What a great plan!

Sun Xi did not expect to gain from the casual chat. He happily said, “Thank you!”

He happily scrolled through the comments below the video.

More than a day had passed since the video was released. There were already many comments below.

What’s more, the comments were similar to Sun Xi’s attitude. They had developed a certain interest in Suffering Travels.

“Tengda is finally entering the tourism industry? This promotional video gives people a good feeling. There are not many hypocritical scenes. Everything is pragmatic.”

“That’s right. It’s fundamentally different from the promotional videos filmed by the travel agencies outside. It’s not flirtatious at all!”

“I’m a little tempted. What should I do? I’ve been too tired from working recently. I do want to travel and experience the beauty of nature…”

“Why is it called Suffering Travel? Did he deliberately come up with this name to make himself look unique? I can’t tell how he suffered in this film.”

“I heard that it is still in the internal beta testing stage. It will be open to the outside world in the future. I will definitely be the first to sign up!”

Min Jingchao also saw these comments. His reaction was different from Sun Xi’s. He shook his head helplessly.

Sigh, everyone was indeed too young. They did not understand the evil of human hearts.

Sun Xi did not think too much about it. He only treated this as a small interlude in Min Jingchao words. He sent the name list to Zhou Muyan after sorting it out and began to busy himself.

In the afternoon, Zhou Muyan came to invite Min Jingchao and Sun Xi for lunch.

Sun Strike Studios had a canteen and the food was quite delicious. Zhou Muyan was afraid that Min Jingchao would not be used to the food here so he often asked him to eat with him.

Once the project development was on the right track and Min Jingchao became familiar with the other members of the project team, Zhou Muyan could relax.

Zhou Muyan brought the two of them to the private room in the company canteen and ordered a few simple dishes. They chatted as they ate.

Min Jingchao did not forget what he had talked to Sun Xi about previously. He said to Zhou Muyan, “Boss Zhou, I would like to request that if Bullet Hole 2 becomes popular after it is released, I want to arrange a paid holiday for all the project team members.”

“It’s just as well. Tengda’s Suffering Travels has officially started operations. It will be officially opened to the outside world in a month or two.”

“Boss Zhou, look. Suffering Travels is mainly to temper the physique of the employees and the spirit of hard work. There’s a promotional video here.”

Min Jingchao clicked on the promotional video for Suffering Travels on his cell phone and handed it over.

Zhou Muyan frowned slightly.

Eh? A paid holiday?

The project had just been established. The game was not even complete yet, and yet he was already thinking about traveling?

The project team had already gathered a group of people who did not want to work overtime. How suspicious were their work efficiency and working attitude? How could they tell them in advance that there would be a paid holiday after the project was completed?

He briefly watched the promotional video and took out his cell phone very perfunctorily to click on ‘Follow’.

It would be too careless of him to hand the cell phone back directly. At the very least, he should pay attention to it so that Min Jingchao felt that he was indeed considering this matter.

“Alright, I’ll take note of this.”

“However, Brother Min, this matter cannot be rushed. After all, the game has not started developing yet. It is still in the struggling stage. It is a little too early to talk about paid travel.”

“Don’t worry, as long as the project is successful, these small matters are easy to deal with.”

On the surface, he said that it was temporarily shelved. However, he was actually rejecting him.

Sun Xi listened by the side and knew that Boss Zhou must have had such a reaction.

It was only because Min Jingchao had brought it up that Boss Zhou replied politely. If they had brought it up, they might have been scolded long ago.

However, being rejected was normal. Sun Xi did not have much hope in the first place.

Min Jingchao did not say much seeing that Zhou Muyan did not agree. He changed the topic and continued eating while chatting.

…

In the afternoon, Min Jingchao and Sun Xi returned to their desks. They took a break and continue working.

The designer was the busiest when the game was first established. Both of them were writing the design plan with their heads down. For a long time, they only heard the sound of typing on the keyboard.

After a long time, Sun Xi stretched and went to the water bar to get a cup of coffee. He swiped his cell phone while drinking.

“Eh, another new documentary for the Suffering Travels?”

Sun Xi had followed the Suffering Travels account previously. Even though Zhou Muyan had rejected the request for a paid holiday, it did not affect his yearning for a paid holiday.

However, after watching the documentary for a few minutes, Sun Xi’s expression changed.

What the hell was this!

What was filmed in the documentary was completely different from what he had imagined!

Sun Xi could not help but break out in cold sweat. He suddenly understood why Min Jingchao was so afraid when it came to paid travel.

This Suffering Travel was really pure torture!

He could empathize with their despair just by looking at their painful expressions as they climbed the rocks.

The promotional video was a lie. The camera zoomed out as if everyone was trying their best to climb and enjoy themselves. However, when the close-up shot was released and the details of everyone’s helpless expressions were released, he knew that this was definitely not a pleasure!

Sun Xi patted his chest, feeling like he had narrowly escaped a calamity. “It’s alright, it’s alright. It’s a good thing that Boss Zhou did not agree.”

“If Boss Zhou really agrees, we’ll be in trouble!”

It would be too despairing if the game succeeded but they still had to suffer.

What’s more, he had suggested for the entire project team to go together. If they really went, wouldn’t the others strangle him to death?

Fortunately, Boss Zhou was wise. He could tell at a glance that this Suffering Travel was not a good thing. He rejected this suggestion.

However, not long after he put down his phone, he saw Zhou Muyan walk out of his office and walk straight towards Min Jingchao.

“Brother Min, I just watched the documentary on Suffering Travels. I think your suggestion is very good!”

“It looks like this Suffering Travels can indeed train your willpower. I promise you that once Bullet Hole 2 is developed, I will arrange for everyone in the project team to go through it no matter whether it succeeds or not!”
