Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

Chapter 891: Target Place: Pyramids and Mummies!

Chang You wanted to give this award to others right now.
He only wanted to continue being the person-in-charge of Otto Technologies, continue developing new cell phones, and continue to do crosstalks at the news conference.

However, Boss Pei’s determined gaze hinted that rules were rules that no one could violate!

Zhang Yuan did not want to accept this award back then, but there was no room for negotiation.

After a moment of silence, Chang You said, “Boss Pei, I have to leave Otto Technologies, right?”

Pei Qian smiled and nodded.
“Yes.”

In fact, Pei Qian did not think that Chang You had to be eliminated.
Compared to the other departments, Otto Technologies was still making money, but it was burning a lot of money after all.
Its profit margin was not high either.
It was far from making a killing.

However, Pei Qian believed that the eyes of the masses were clear.

The original intention of the Best Employee Selection System was to eliminate Pei Qian’s own subjectivity as much as possible so that all employees could vote together and choose the employees who posed the greatest threat to losing money.

Thus, Pei Qian had to stick to his principles.
The best employee had to leave the current department no matter who it was.
The rules could not be changed.

After a moment of silence, Chang You said, “I’ve thought about it.
I want to set up another company.
I’ll be in charge of making ecosystem products for technological products, such as wearable equipment, smart furniture, and so on.”

Pei Qian: “?”

Chang You continued, “Boss Pei, according to the Dream Fund’s regulations, the winners must leave the original department.
However, they can invest this money into any industry that they like.
There are no clear restrictions on the industry.
Otto Technologies’ current main business is cell phones.
I’ll set up a new department.
Instead of making cell phones, I’ll make Ecosystem Products.
That should be completely in line with the regulations, right?”

Pei Qian was speechless.

Zhang Yuan, who was standing at the side, widened his eyes in shock.

He could do that?

On further thought, that seemed to be the case.
The best employee indeed had to leave the original department, but he was not explicitly prohibited from using the Dream Fund to do any work related to the original department!

Huang Sibo, Zhang Yuan, and the other employees had obviously fallen into a blind spot.

Take Zhang Yuan for example.
After he left Fish-Catching Internet Cafe, he could not possibly use the money to open a new internet cafe, right? Subconsciously, he felt that this would not work.
That was why he started an E-Sports Club.

These people were obviously not experienced enough and had not carefully studied the loophole in this rule.

Chang You, on the other hand, was different.
He was older than all of them.
Naturally, he was cunning and easily found loopholes in the Best Employee Selection system.

Otto Technologies’ main business was cell phones, but strictly speaking, intelligent ecosystems were also within its business scope.
They would be available sooner or later.

However, after all, apart from the smart bickering machine and the “Get-off-work-on-time-mouse”, Otto Technologies did not have a clear plan to enter the intelligent ecosystem.

Chang You expressed that he did not use the Dream Fund to make cell phones but to make “provision stores”.
There was a difference in the scope of this business.

It was just like someone who made refrigerators received a Dream Fund and said that he wanted to make air conditioners.
It looked like products of the same type, but it was actually very far from it.

Therefore, it was completely in line with the rules!

Chang You’s move was akin to a cicada shedding its shell.
After establishing a new company to create an intelligent ecosystem, he would still maintain a very close relationship with Otto Technologies.
He could still exert influence on Otto Technologies.
The situation had not changed fundamentally.

Zhang Yuan could not help but be shocked.

Why the f*ck didn’t I think of this at that time?

If I had known earlier, I would have started a business related to Fish-Catching Internet Cafe and ROF Computer-Installation.
That way, Xiao Peng would still be the person-in-charge of the internet cafe in name.
However, I could still continue to manage Fish-Catching Internet Cafe with Xiao Peng under the guise of ‘cooperation’!

However, it was useless to regret.
After all, his DGE Club and E-Sports career were on the right track.

Pei Qian was confused.

Chang You’s behavior was obviously the opposite of his original intention for establishing the Best Employee Selection system.
However, it was in line with the rules.
He could only say that he had exploited a loophole.

He had to block this loophole, but he could only block it later, not now.

What’s more, Pei Qian had thought about it.
It would still have a negative impact on Otto Technologies’ development when Chang You stepped down as the person-in-charge.

Pei Qian could only nod and say, “Alright, this is a loophole in the rules.
Since you’ve caught it, there won’t be a next time.”

“However, those who get the best employee award in the future can forget about taking advantage of this loophole!”

He then looked at Liang Qingfan.
“Have you decided where you want to go? You can choose a colleague to be your tour guide and accompany you.”

Liang Qingfan smiled, a little embarrassed.
“Well… I didn’t think about going anywhere before.”

“As for selecting colleagues to be tour guides… I don’t have any suitable candidates.
Do you have any recommendations?”

Everyone looked at each other and saw the same answer in each other’s eyes.

“That must be Brother Bao!”

“That’s right.
Brother Bao is very experienced.
It would be most appropriate for him to be the tour guide.”

“What’s more, the job that Brother Bao is in charge of is not very important.
Traveling would not affect the work progress.”

“As expected, there can only be one standard answer.”

“Traveler Bao Xu, let’s go!”

The others were all enjoying the show.

Bao Xu, who was hiding in the corner of the crowd, froze on the spot.
It was as if he had been struck by a bolt of lighting.

He still found it difficult to accept this tragic fate even though he had already mentally prepared himself.

Bao Xu looked at Liang Qingfan in despair.

Liang Qingfan was a little embarrassed as he said to Boss Pei, “Ah, I’ve heard of Traveller Bao Xu for a long time.
However… we’re not very familiar with each other after all.
We haven’t interacted before.
What’s more, I heard that he’s been out for almost two months.
He must be exhausted from the journey.
It wouldn’t be good for me to ask him to accompany me as a tour guide…”

Bao Xu’s hopeless face lit up with hope when he heard that.

Oh god, am I hallucinating?

There are actually people in this world who empathize with me.
They think that I’m tired from traveling for two months, so they want me to stay and rest!

Great!

He had finally met a colleague with a conscience!

Bao Xu was so moved that he wanted to cry.
At that moment, he wanted to close the suitcase that he had already opened.

At that moment, Liang Qingfan followed everyone’s gaze and saw Bao Xu.

“Eh? Brother Bao is already packing?”

“Brother Bao is so eager?”

“There’s no problem if Brother Bao is so eager.
I’ll choose Brother Bao!”

At first, Liang Qingfan felt a little embarrassed.
However, he saw that Bao Xu had already packed his luggage and was prepared to accompany him out.
Wouldn’t he be lacking in EQ if he did not bring him along? Wouldn’t that not be slapping his face?

What’s more, he had long heard that Traveller Bao Xu was experienced in traveling.
He met all sorts of criteria.
It was the best choice to let him accompany him on a trip.

Liang Qingfan wanted to be polite, but he felt like he was being too polite seeing Bao Xu being so direct.

What’s more, Brother Bao seemed to be smiling faintly, which confirmed Liang Qingfan’s guess.

Bao Xu’s smile froze on his face.
He quickly waved his hand.
“No, no, no, you’re mistaken! I don’t mean that at all! You should choose someone else!”

Liang Qingfan thought that Bao Xu was just being polite.
“Brother Bao, I didn’t have a better candidate in the first place.
Since everyone is recommending you, you should come with me!”

“Don’t stand on ceremony.
Look at your expectant expression!”

Bao Xu nearly fainted from anger.

The look of anticipation was written all over his face.
Which eye of yours saw that?!

This is me being angry!

Bao Xu wanted to continue explaining himself, but the voices of the people around him quickly drowned him out.

“Look, Boss Liang made the right choice!”

“Brother Bao, don’t decline.
Who else can take on this job?!”

“That’s right.
Boss Liang is Boss Pei’s trusted confidant.
He wouldn’t feel at ease even if he handed him over to others.
Brother Bao, you have to do it personally to make everyone feel at ease!”

Everyone laughed and cheered, feeling that the Best Employee Selection was finally complete.

The Best Employee Selection should end with Brother Bao going on a holiday!

Bao Xu felt uncomfortable.
He looked at the eager Liang Qingfan and gritted his teeth.
“I want to go to Egypt! I want to see the pyramids in the desert and the mummies of the Pharaohs.
If you don’t dare to go, look for someone else! I won’t go anywhere except Egypt!”

He had already been to Africa once.
Thinking back to his experience in the Sahara Desert and the Great Rift Valley in East Africa, Bao Xu did not want to experience it a second time.

Thus, he slapped his forehead and chose a place that was relatively close but also had a bad natural environment.

Would he be able to scare Huang Sibo away or not?

Bao Xu felt that Liang Qingfan was a refined architect and would not be able to tolerate traveling in such a harsh environment, right?

I’ve already made it so obvious, he would probably back off, right?

However, Liang Qingfan looked very surprised and expectant.

“Egypt?”

“That’s great! This is the place I’ve always dreamed of going!”

“As an architect, I’ve long wanted to take a closer look at the pyramid.
It’s a pity that I haven’t had the time and no one to accompany me.”

“Brother Bao, it’s great that you took the initiative to bring it up.
Let’s go to Egypt.
We’ll get ready and set off immediately!”

Bao Xu fell into a daze as he watched the elated Liang Qingfan.

He looked at Boss Pei.
“I…”

Pei Qian suppressed his laughter.
“Alright, since you’re the one who suggested it and Liang Qingfan wants to go, we’ll set it in Egypt.
Take a good look at the pyramid, the mummy, and experience the scenery on both sides of the Nile River.
Take more photos and videos as well.
You might be able to use these materials to develop games in the future.”

“That’s settled then! Hurry up and apply for an urgent visa.
We’ll meet again in a month!”

“Alright, the Best Employee Selection has ended.
Everyone, go back to work!”

Satisfied, everyone left, laughing and joking.

Liang Qingfan walked up to Bao Xu and said expectantly, “Brother Bao, please take care of me!”

Soon, everyone left.
Those who had been working on this floor returned to their desks and continued working seriously.

Bao Xu looked at the suitcase by his feet and stood there silently like a statue in the office.

It was so redundant and out of place.
