Chapter 1117: Don’t You Watch the News?

Saturday afternoon at the nameless restaurant.

“Come, this way.”

Pei Qian smiled as he led Bao Xu to the biggest private room in the nameless restaurant.

Bao Xu, on the other hand, shrunk into a ball. He was trembling in fear, as though he was about to be ambushed.

He could feel that something was amiss!

Why did Boss Pei suddenly want to have a meal with him?

He did not want to come at all. He wanted to stay at home and play games.

He had been busy with the snack market recently after all. He did not have time to play games when he was busy. Now that the snack market was finally done, wouldn’t he have to make up for all the recent games?

However, he had to come since it was Boss Pei’s treat.

He only hoped that he would bite the bullet and finish eating quickly before returning to play games.

After taking his seat, Bao Xu realized Boss Pei and him were the only ones in the huge private room. He could not help but panic when he saw the dishes being served one after another.

He felt that something was amiss!

Bao Xu had always been low-profile and careful. He was afraid that he would be exposed to everyone and be voted as the second best employee to travel.

Later on, he realized that he had been mistaken for having nothing to do after keeping a low profile and he still had to travel. That was why he decided to find something to do.

However, finding something to do did not mean that it would be earth-shattering!

Wouldn’t they all be sent back and become the second best employee to travel?

Thus, Bao Xu’s goal was to let everyone know that he was busy but did not achieve much results.

However, why was Boss Pei treating him to a meal now? And only him?

Such an honor was rare!

Did that mean that he had gone overboard in helping out at the snack market?

The more Bao Xu thought about it, the more flustered he became. He would not have been in the mood to eat if the food was not so delicious.

Pei Qian felt that it was almost time to eat.

“Bao Xu, you’re an old employee of Tengda now. You’ve worked hard for so many years!”

“I have a commendation letter here. Take a look. Are you satisfied?”

Pei Qian smiled and handed the printed commendation letter to the waiter, who passed it to Bao Xu.

The table was a little big and the two of them were seated furthest apart, therefore they had no choice but to let the waiter help pass the letter over.

Bao Xu was shocked when he heard the words ‘commendation letter’. He was stunned for a moment before he put down his chopsticks and took it with trembling hands.

Bao Xu trembled even more after reading it from beginning to end.

He knew very well that if this commendation letter were to be sent to Tengda, he would immediately prepare to book a flight!

Pei Qian smiled when he saw Bao Xu’s expression.

Alright, he had achieved his goal.

“Bao Xu, I intend to send this commendation letter to various departments of Tengda. What do you think?”

Bao Xu was shocked. “Boss Pei, I don’t think that’s appropriate!”

“Actually, I was only doing my best to help with the matters at the snack market. There’s no merit at all. This commendation letter is too exaggerated. I’m ashamed to accept it!”

Pei Qian nodded slightly. Yes, as long as he knew how to be afraid.

“Alright, I won’t send this commendation letter since you insist on not letting me. I’ll remember your contributions.”

Pei Qian paused.

He had already scared Bao Xu. Now, he had to guide him step by step and make him repent.

However, how should he communicate with Bao Xu?

Pei Qian could not express his thoughts. He knew that Bao Xu did not want to travel, but Bao Xu did not know that Boss Pei wanted him to be a bum!

It was quite difficult to communicate efficiently without misunderstanding. Pei Qian could not think of a good explanation at that moment.

At that moment, a familiar voice came from outside the private room.

“Eh? Boss Pei is here today?”

Pei Qian turned around. “Boss Li?”

“Come, come, come. Let’s eat together.”

Pei Qian had booked the biggest private room in the nameless restaurant. It would be a waste if there were only two people seated.

Boss Li was a regular customer of the nameless restaurant. It would be good for him to come and eat more.

Li Shi quickly said, “Boss Pei, I appreciate your good intentions! However, I just ate.”

Pei Qian smiled. “It’s alright, eat as much as you can.”

He turned to the waiter. “Add a chair and a set of cutlery.”

Li Shi could not turn down the invitation. He nodded. “Alright, I’ll accept it!”

They were old friends. There was no need to be polite. Li Shi sat down calmly.

Pei Qian had not thought about how to “communicate” with Bao Xu, so he chatted casually.

“Why is Boss Li here at the nameless restaurant today?”

Li Shi smiled. “I reserved it two months ago? Wouldn’t it be a waste if we don’t eat it?”

“What’s more, the Star Bird Fitness and the purchase of shops were all thanks to you, Boss Pei. This time, I’m treating the boss of Star Bird Fitness, Boss Che, and a few other investors to a meal to celebrate.”

Li Shi was also very crafty. He knew that it was very difficult to make reservations at the nameless restaurant, so he made reservations every once in a while in advance.

As long as they made reservations early enough, they would be able to eat at the nameless restaurant every week.

Of course, the prerequisite was that his own wallet had to be able to support such high expenditure.

Boss Li had received enough advantage from Boss Pei. It was nothing compared to this meal.

What’s more, the shops in Star Bird Fitness and snack street had been doing well recently. They might not have made a lot of money but the pot was already set up and the soup was about to boil. Of course, it was worth celebrating.

Pei Qian was confused.

Star Bird Fitness? Shops?

What was that?

He did not pay much attention to it. He only thought that Li Shi was just being polite by saying ‘thanks to Boss Pei’. Thus, he buried his head in his food and continued thinking about how to knock Bao Xu down so that he would not cause trouble.

There was a moment of silence in the private room.

Bao Xu was not good with words after all. He might have heard of Boss Li’s name but he had never met him before. They did not know each other so it was not easy to talk to him.

However, Li Shi did not think so.

It was a coincidence that he met Boss Pei this time. However, Li Shi was very perceptive and very smart. He felt that the atmosphere was a little subtle the moment he entered the private room.

Boss Pei was treating them to a meal at the nameless restaurant alone. That was very impressive!

He had never enjoyed such treatment even though he had helped Boss Pei in the past.

In other words, this dark and skinny young man was not simple!

Of course, he had to take the opportunity to get to know talents that Boss Pei thought so highly of.

Li Shi took two bites of his food and chatted casually for a while. Then, he asked, “Boss Pei, this young man looks unfamiliar. Can you introduce him?”

Pei Qian was still thinking about how to knock Bao Xu down when he casually answered, “Oh, he’s an employee of our games department, Bao Xu.”

Li Shi’s eyes widened when he heard that word.

“Oh!”

“Traveler Bao Xu, right? I’ve heard about him!”

Li Shi could not help but feel respect.

No wonder, everything made sense!

He had long heard that Bao Xu, as a core employee of Tengda Corporation, had always achieved outstanding results and was often ranked second among outstanding employees.

It was very reasonable for Boss Pei to treat such an outstanding employee!

However, why did he have to treat him now since he was an old employee?

Li Shi’s brain worked quickly. Suddenly, he had an idea.

“Oh! I remember!”

“The person-in-charge said that he wanted to thank an enthusiastic friend from Tengda Games who used game design concept to arrange many interactive content during Jingzhou TV’s evening news interview at the snack market. He should be referring to Brother Bao, right?”

“It’s no wonder that Boss Pei personally held a treat to reward him!”

Li Shi was all smiles. With an ‘I see’ expression, he was eager to integrate into the conversation at the dining table.

However, Pei Qian and Bao Xu stopped simultaneously.

One of them was holding a half-eaten lobster while the other was holding a crab claw, as if he had forgotten whether to put it in his mouth or not.

“Evening news?”

Both of them looked confused.

Li Shi was stunned. “Huh? Why? Don’t you watch the news?”

Pei Qian and Bao Xu acted in unison. They put down the lobster and crab claws in their hands, took out their cell phones, and searched online.

Even though both of them were shocked by the words’ evening news’, they were shocked at completely different points.

Pei Qian was shocked that the evening news actually went to interview the snack market again?

Wouldn’t that be the end?

The snack market was about to become even more popular!

What shocked Bao Xu was that the evening news interview was done. Zhang Yahui, just say what you have to say. Why did you mention me!

Both of them took out their cell phones at the same time to catch up on the news on Jingzhou TV.

Li Shi ate a little and was a little confused.

Pei Qian’s hand trembled slightly as he held his cell phone. He did not know if it was because this G1 phone was too heavy.

“In recent years, as Jingzhou’s economy developed rapidly, tourism became an important industry in Jingzhou.

“As the saying goes, food is the most important to the people. It’s always difficult for people to resist the temptation of snacks. Every holiday, people would like to fulfill their obligations to ease their mood and pressure. No matter which city they go to, they would go to the local food street to taste the local delicacies.”

“Recently, a new snack market has appeared in Jingzhou’s old industrial zone. Its style is very different from traditional snack streets. What are they not using? Let me bring everyone to take a look!”

After a brief introduction, the scene of the snack market appeared in the news and the interview with Zhang Yahui.

Zhang Yahui spoke confidently, talking about his bitter experience from a small vendor to the person-in-charge of the snack market, especially the last argument about the humanities of the snack market. It was simply enlightening.

“The person-in-charge of the snack market, Zhang Yahui, said that the snack market is to preserve and display the outstanding snack culture. It is to implement the right rules and guidance for the local snacks so that they can successfully survive, develop, and grow. Finally, they will integrate into people’s lives, so that this smoke and fire can continue to burn in the big city that is becoming colder and colder!”

“You might as well visit the snack market when you’re free. I believe that the unique environment here, interesting interactive mechanisms, cheap and delicious snacks will definitely make you experience different delicacies!”

Apart from that, Pei Qian also noticed something else.

During the interview, Zhang Yahui emphasized that the design of the snack market this time was based on an enthusiastic friend of the games department. Even though he did not specify his name, anyone who knew a little inside information could guess that this person was actually Bao Xu.

Pei Qian looked up after watching the news.

Bao Xu looked up at the same time as well.

They stared at each other, speechless.

Pei Qian knew that the commendation letter he had prepared would not be of any use.

He did not need to rack his brains to think about how to knock and hint at Bao Xu anymore because it was meaningless.

Pei Qian could not help but sigh.

Bao Xu, I wanted to protect you. However, there is nothing I can do given the current situation!
