April 30th, Monday…
Knock, knock.
Pei Qian was reading work reports from various departments in his office when there was a knock on the door.
“Enter.”
After a while, the person outside pushed the door open and entered.
Pei Qian looked up and saw Meng Chang.
Meng Chang’s face was sallow and his eyes were listless. His hair looked a little messy. He looked rather dejected coupled with the stubble at the corner of his mouth. It was a stark contrast to his high-spirited self.
Meng Chang seemed to be less and less concerned about his personal image ever since he joined Tengda Corporation.
Thinking back to when he had just established the Cold-Faced Lady, he had always been in high spirits when he met the investors. His personal style and dressing were just right.
However, he was no different from an internet addict who had been in internet cafes for a month now.
Pei Qian was originally very angry that Meng Chang had messed up the publicity for Mission and Choice. He wanted to teach him a lesson in person. However, he could not help but feel sympathetic and could not say what he originally wanted to say seeing how miserable he looked.
Both of them looked at each other speechlessly.
Pei Qian took his laptop from the side, opened the analysis report from last month, and handed it to Meng Chang.
Meng Chang took it silently. After flipping through it, he saw the expected and familiar number.
At the very least, he had gotten a commission of 1,500 yuan last month. At that time, Meng Chang was just trying his luck and had received very good results. This month, he rubbed his hands together and prepared to go all out. Then, he successfully reduced his commission to zero again.
It was still a base salary of 3,000 yuan. In Meng Chang’s impression, ever since he came to Tengda, apart from receiving commission last month, he had received a base salary of 3,000 yuan every month. There was no exception.
Meng Chang’s heart did not fluctuate at all. He only felt his body being emptied.
In fact, Meng Chang already knew that this month was over when he saw the promotional plan for Mission and Choice suddenly running in a direction that he could not control at all. The popularity of games and movies on the internet was increasing by the day.
Some people died in the middle of the month and were buried at the end of the month.
Meng Chang did not even look carefully at the details in the analysis report because he did not want to be whipped again. He only scanned it and confirmed the expected number before handing the laptop back.
“Boss Pei, if there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave.”
Meng Chang turned around and was about to leave.
He really had nothing to say. He was the one who set the publicity plan. In the end, not only did he fail to achieve his goal, but he fell all the way to the bottom. What else could he do other than admit defeat even though Boss Pei was most likely involved in this?
What’s more, Meng Chang had already been mocked by Boss Pei the last time he received the base salary. Would he be mocked again if he continued to stay?
That would be too difficult.
However, Pei Qian immediately stopped him. “Wait.”
Meng Chang stopped.
Pei Qian looked at Meng Chang’s fearless expression and could not help but feel pain.
“You’ve only been in Tengda for a while and don’t know much about the company’s work. It’s reasonable for things to go against your wishes.”
“I haven’t said anything about you either. I just hope that you can infer from your experience and learn from it so that you can correct it in the future.”
“What happened?”
“The last time you came to see me, you patted your chest and guaranteed that there would be no problem. What happened next? Did you disappear after something went wrong? Did you play dead?”
“You’re a professional after all. Can you have some professionalism? Think about it. You were very straightforward when you quitted. Didn’t you need someone to clean up your mess?”
The more Pei Qian thought about it, the angrier he became.
Back then, Meng Chang had patted his chest and guaranteed that there would be no problem. He had even mysteriously said that he had a perfect plan and that there would definitely be no problem. Thus, Pei Qian believed him.
Pei Qian was still looking forward to Meng Chang keeping his promise and turning the situation around until Mission and Choice became popular.
In the end, he waited and waited, but there was no sound from him. He couldn’t even find Meng Chang!
He gave up so easily.
Pei Qian looked down on him. He thought to himself, “Haven’t I encountered more setbacks than you? Haven’t I always survived?”
Yet, you gave up so easily. I had to rack my brains to spend the money that you earned. How ridiculous!
Meng Chang’s mouth opened slightly and he was shocked. In fact, this was the first time he lost his composure as someone with good self restraint.
He was completely shocked by Boss Pei’s words.

In a normal context, Boss Pei’s words did not sound like a problem. It was nothing more than a superior reprimanding his subordinate for failing to meet his requirements time and time again, for failing to do his job well.
However, Meng Chang obviously did not think that this was under normal circumstances!
He thought that he and Boss Pei had always been competing in wits and courage. He had relied on messing up the publicity to get commission, while Boss Pei had relied on selling products to earn money.
Under such circumstances, Boss Pei would definitely try his best to obstruct and destroy his publicity plan.
He had only been in Tengda Corporation for a few months and was only in charge of marketing. How could his small arms be able to win against Boss Pei?
However, that was not all. The key was that Boss Pei would always pretend to be on his side and consider problems. He seemed to be more anxious than him.
He could only say that the Best Actor was the Best Actor. His acting skills were real and fake. It looked fake but his expression was real. It looked real but on further thought, it was fake.
Therefore, Meng Chang was speechless for a moment. It seemed wrong to retort, but it also seemed wrong to not retort. Thus, he was stunned.
Pei Qian was even angrier when he saw Meng Chang’s confused expression. “Aren’t you good at talking? Why aren’t you talking now?”
“Forget it, I might have been too strict with you.”
“However, can you pay more attention to the publicity plan next time?”
“Can’t you let me take a look at your publicity plan if you don’t feel confident after making it? I might not be more professional than you, but I can give you ideas or something.”
Meng Chang opened his mouth and felt that it was ridiculous.
Give me some ideas?
Haven’t you cheated me enough?
However, Boss Pei’s expression was too sincere and seemed to be filled with true feelings. Meng Chang did not know what to say for a moment.
Pei Qian was speechless. “Say something? Don’t you think you’re responsible for what happened?”
Meng Chang felt dizzy. Weren’t you the one behind all of this?
However, he could not fall out directly. After a long while, he said, “Yes, I will continue to work hard in the future.”
Pei Qian finally received some feedback and felt slightly better. He said, “Alright, as long as you know what you’re doing.”
“There are still some projects next month. Otto Technologies’ cell phone and Fully-Automated Smart Bickering Machine should be completed soon. You should understand and prepare in advance. Try to get more commission next month.”
” I still trust you very much even though the success rate of your publicity plan is very low.”
Meng Chang :”…”
He pondered for a long time, but still did not know what to say. He could only say, “Alright, Boss Pei.” Then, he turned around and left.
…
After Meng Chang left, Pei Qian calmed down and continued reading the work reports of the various departments.
Looking back on the month’s journey, it could be said that there were ups and downs. The unexpected success of Mission and Choice caught Pei Qian off guard. Fortunately, the pressure was successfully relieved in the second half of the month by establishing the Slow Movement Studio and the sales department.
However, the pressure will come again next month.
Otto Technologies’ new cell phone was about to be released.
Pei Qian planned to make a trip to Otto Technologies tomorrow to take a look at G1’s prototype and decide on the news conference.
There was another piece of good news.
On May 1st, the Greyhound movie that had been bragged about online for a long time was finally going to be released!
Previously, Greyhound had been riding on the popularity of Mission and Choice and had a good time. In the end, Mission and Choice’s reputation exploded after it was released. It made Greyhound look bad and received a lot of criticism online.
However, Greyhound had not been released after all. No one knew the quality of this movie. Logically speaking, this movie had invested a lot of money and the cast was very luxurious. Even if the quality was slightly worse, the box office would definitely not be a problem.
What’s more, Mission and Choice had chosen a rubbish slot while Greyhound had chosen the May 1st prime slot. “Mission and Choice” would already be in the latter half of the showing time by the time May 1st came. The momentum would definitely be severely lacking. So much publicity had already been put in for the first day of the release of Greyhound. The box office on the first day would definitely be very high. It should not be a problem to beat Mission and Choice.
Therefore it was considered good news.
Pei Qian had already booked the movie tickets for tomorrow morning. He was prepared to go and see the situation of the Greyhound to comfort himself.
In fact, there was a midnight show for Greyhound. However, Pei Qian did not think that there was a need to work so hard. It was just a Hollywood blockbuster. There was no need to watch it at midnight.
In the afternoon, Pei Qian planned to make a trip to Otto Technologies to look at the cell phone prototype before deciding on the news conference.
Pei Qian had closed the cell phone news conference previously, but something went wrong in the end. He did not expect Chang You to turn it into a monologue.
After some thought, Pei Qian guessed that it was Chang You’s problem.
However, Chang You had already changed departments and was no longer in charge of the cell phone business.
The new person-in-charge, Jiang Yuan, was considered a newcomer. His eloquence was far worse than an old fox like Chang You. What’s more, Jiang Yuan’s character was a little introverted. He would definitely not be able to produce the effect of ‘monologue’ at the news conference.
Thus, Pei Qian felt that everything would be foolproof as long as he went through the contents of the news conference with Jiang Yuan.
