Pei Qian gestured for everyone to sit down and said, “I invited everyone here today to announce some decisions.”

“However, before that, I want to thank everyone present.”

“I relied on everyone’s joint efforts to achieve Tengda Corporation’s current scale and achievements. I only became the person who created Tengda under a freak combination of factors. You are the true creators of Tengda Corporation.”

“I want to express my gratitude to you one by one.”

“Huang Sibo, Lu Mingliang, Li Yada, Ye Zhizhou, Wang Xiaobin, Hu Xianbin, Min Jingchao, Zhang Nan, Yu Fei, thank you very much for being the person-in-charge of the games department. Through your bold and imaginative imagination and conscientious execution, you turned ideas into reality and brought fun games to players.”

“Director Zhu Xiaoce, thank you for making so many exciting movies. The atmosphere in the domestic film market has changed.”

“Bao Xu, you might have gone to many departments and only became the person-in-charge of Suffering Travels in the end. However, you played an important role in every work position. I’m proud of you.”

“Zhang Yuan, Xiao Peng, thank you for finding a better operating model for Fish-Catching Internet Cafe and supporting Tengda Corporation’s E-Sports industry. Lin Canrong, Rui Yuchen, thank you for changing Fish-Catching Take-Out and even the entire Jingzhou food and beverage model so that many people can eat healthy and assured takeaways…”

Pei Qian thanked the heads of the various departments and fully affirmed their contributions to Tengda Corporation as the person-in-charge!

This process was very long. Pei Qian’s praise for each department was very simple, only two or three sentences. However, Tengda Corporation had too many departments now, and their business spanned across many fields.

There were forty to fifty departments of various sizes alone. The person-in-charge of each department and the people who had made outstanding contributions were two to three or more. Coupled with the bosses of other companies like Li Shi, Pei Qian took more than half an hour to thank everyone.

Pei Qian had mixed feelings towards these people.

These people were the biggest stumbling block on his path to success when Pei Qian was focused on creating losses to convert into his Personal Wealth. They always tried various ways to backstab him and make money for him.

However, even though Pei Qian hated them to the core sometimes, he would at most send them on Suffering Travels or to the haunted house. He would also exchange them for other departments through the first-place-elimination system. However, he had never thought of demotion or firing them.

That was because Pei Qian knew very well that they were all people who had contributed to the company and the entire society. The biggest credit for Tengda Corporation to develop to its current scale should belong to them.

As for Pei Qian, he might just be a lucky winner.

On the other hand, Tengda could achieve what it had today and become the most loved and welcomed company.

Pei Qian had received so many praises that should not have been his. Obviously, he should have attributed them to the people in charge.

Thus, Pei Qian had to thank them from the bottom of his heart. He wanted to thank these people in charge for being able to complete this great task together with him!

After Pei Qian thanked all the people in charge, many people lost their cool.

For example, Bao Xu was one of them.

Bao Xu still remembered that he used to be an internet addict. He had no goals in life and only spent his days in the shadows. However, Boss Pei found him in the dark internet cafe and invited him to Tengda Corporation to change his life.

He might have been forced to travel countless times during this process but Bao Xu felt lucky for his experience and was sincerely grateful to Boss Pei.

Boss Pei thanked all the department heads on such an occasion, revealing a very dangerous signal.

Obviously, Boss Pei had not changed his mind. He did not intend to lead these people in charge to fight for Tengda Corporation for twenty years. Instead, he wanted to follow the previous decision. He might be a CEO but he still had to leave Tengda Corporation for a period of time.

It might have been a year or many years.

The moment Pei Qian finished speaking, the people in charge began asking him to stay.

“Boss Pei, you’re not really leaving the company, are you?”

“Boss Pei, the company cannot do without you!”

“That’s right. If we encounter new business problems or if the company needs to change, who should make this decision?”

“Yes, Tengda Corporation without Boss Pei is incomplete. I cannot accept that!”

Pei Qian waved his hand, gesturing for everyone to quiet down seeing how agitated the people in charge were.

He smiled slightly. “There’s no need for everyone to be so excited. Actually, Tengda Corporation can already operate perfectly on its own. It doesn’t matter whether I’m here or not. It might even develop better without me. After all, no one is dragging the company down.”

The people in charge took this as Boss Pei’s consolation or some kind of sneer. However, this sneer was not funny at all.

Pei Qian continued, “I’ve been thinking about this decision for a long time. There are three main reasons why I finally made up my mind.”

“First of all, all of you are very capable. If I was around, you would always want to ask me when you encounter major problems. This would not be conducive to your true level. I hope that you can explore a way. Not only can you replace me perfectly, but you should also surpass me.”

“I think it’s not difficult to surpass me. You should try.”

“Secondly, Tengda Corporation will experience such a process if it continues to develop. This company ultimately belongs to all employees of Tengda Corporation and even all users! If the company continues to develop, it must try to use the most appropriate method to include everyone into the decision-making system and let it move in a more correct direction.”

“Previously, I only relied on luck time and time again to not make huge mistakes. However, I don’t dare to guarantee this in the future. That’s why I need everyone to show their intelligence and let Tengda Corporation enter a brand new stage.”

“The onlooker sees more. I think it might be better if I were a bystander.”

“Lastly, I don’t want my identity to be left only as the President of Tengda Corporation. I hope to have more identity.”

“I deeply feel that my ability is still too far away, so I want to travel the world. I want to have more time to learn and think deeper. I want to continue growing and gradually become a person worthy of everyone’s praise. All of these need time and focus.”

“I don’t want Tengda Corporation to be the upper limit of my life, so I don’t want to be tied to it forever.”

The people in charge looked at each other. Boss Pei’s words seemed to be too humble, but they made sense.

As the President of a company, he had to sacrifice too much to allow the entire company to develop better!

Many bosses of companies would completely lose their time and life in the cumbersome things.

This was the life that the bosses who regarded their companies and careers as the most important part of their lives.

However, if Boss Pei had higher pursuits and felt that he should not only have one company in his life, he would also have the right to choose other lives.

If Boss Pei had been trapped in Tengda Corporation and bound by his identity as the President, he would not have had more time to improve himself.

Thus, in Boss Pei’s eyes, he and Tengda Corporation were temporarily separated so that both sides could have better prospects.

At that moment, Director Zhu Xiaoce, who had been silent the entire time, raised his hand and asked, “But Boss Pei, if we allow all the people in charge to make a decision together, how can we be sure that the future will not look like in the game ‘The Future You Choose’?”

“I’m afraid we won’t be able to resist this temptation forever without you around.”

“It’s easy to say that there’s no selfishness, but how many people can do that? If in a certain extreme situation, I have no doubt that many people in charge would place their personal interests or company interests above the interests of ordinary people.”

The people in charge chimed in.

Obviously, they had the same worries as Pei Qian. More and more people realized the need to worry especially after ‘The Future You Choose’ had already pointed out this risk.

At the moment, Tengda Corporation was still booming. The people in charge did not have any selfish motives. However, no one could be sure if this would happen three years later, five years later, or ten years later.

With Boss Pei around, he could easily suppress everyone’s selfishness. Once there were signs, he could use thunderous methods to guard against them.

However, if Boss Pei was not in the company and there were large-scale changes in the entire group of people in charge, who would be able to turn the tide?

Pei Qian smiled and said, “I’ve thought about that as well.”

“I have made some simple arrangements for this.”

“First, I want to briefly share my thoughts with everyone.”

“I think that the so-called rich man should not look at how much wealth he has, but what he does with this wealth. Having wealth does not mean controlling wealth. If he only wants his wealth to continue increasing, he is actually just a slave to money.”

“If people who hold wealth can do more meaningful and valuable things through this wealth, then even if they don’t have much Personal Wealth, they are actually the owners of true wealth.”

“A tycoon should not only have money, but also have prestige, trust, cohesion, and other intangible forces. A person can be called a tycoon as long as his spirit is rich even if his materialism is temporarily poor! The concept of a tycoon is only limited to the assets that people have. It is very narrow to judge a person by the money that a person has. In fact, you are seeing people as slaves to money.”

“Humans might not be without money and have no materialism, but they also cannot only have money and materialism. Money is a resource. People should know how to use resources well and not become slaves to resources.”

“I will always use this concept to restrict myself. I will remember to do things no matter how many resources I have. If I waste these resources or use them to obtain benefits for myself, I will be a sinner.”

“I hope that everyone can always remember this point. All of you form the body of Tengda Corporation together. What Tengda Corporation will become in the future depends on each of you.”
