Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

Pei Qian arrived at the office as usual and prepared to start assigning work for this month.

July was still a very busy month.

This month, Tengda’s new cell phone and game router would be officially released.
The exclusive game would also be disclosed.

The zoo project that had been planned for a long time would be officially opened to the public in these two months.
There would be a new haunted house project, luxury clothing, and so on.

The annoying things were coming one after another!

The good thing was that Pei Qian had already graduated.
He did not need to worry about studies and examinations.

There was a saying: ‘Those who post-graduate studies live a pig-like life, those who are employed live a dog-like life, and those who are tested live a life that is worse than pigs and dogs.’

In that case, Pei Qian’s current state should be the happiest type.
He would be completely free as long as he waited for another half a year.

Speaking of which, there was still no news of his graduation thesis.

Halfway through, Pei Qian was worried.
He called Zhang Wei.

In the end, Zhang Wei did not elaborate on the details of the article.
He could not say anything about it.
He only said that Prof Kong appreciated this thesis.
It would definitely not be a problem to graduate!

Pei Qian did not ask further.
In any case, in his opinion, thesis was like an exam.
He just had to pass it.

That was because passing the exam was the ideal perfect state.
Not a single cent more or less would be wasted.
They would not waste their energy nor their time because of the supplementary exam.

In any case, Pei Qian did not intend to do scientific research.
He only wanted to create a small company, incur losses, and live a happy life while taking advantage of the System.

It was his bottom line to pass the exam.

He was looking at the project for this month when he heard a knock on the door.

The new assistant walked in.
“Boss Pei, I have something to report to you.”

“This weekend, the President of Home Take-Out, Zheng Hao, has been spouting nonsense on Weibo, saying that he wants to fight you in person.
He has even frequently @ our company’s official Weibo account.
However, he did not go to work two days ago, so the students of the operations team did not report it in time after seeing it.”

Pei Qian replied without looking up.
“Oh, I know about that.”

Pei Qian had nothing to do over the weekend.
Naturally, he browsed the webpage.
He knew that Zheng Hao could not afford to lose.
Not only did he expose on Weibo that he had passed all the subjects in his four years of university, but he also said that he wanted to debate him in person and expose his character.

However, the problem was that Pei Qian only had one Weibo account.
It was used to look at girls.
He did not have Boss Pei’s official Weibo at all.

He could not respond even if he wanted to.

What’s more, Pei Qian did not plan to respond at all.
So what if he passed all the subjects in his four years of university?

What? Are you envious that I can graduate successfully? I passed because of my own ability!

Pei Qian did not want to debate with Zheng Hao in person because this matter had no meaning to him.
What’s more, Pei Qian was not good at debate.
Why should he appear to accompany the angry Zheng Hao in messing around?

Let Zheng Hao make a scene on Weibo.
It would be good if it could really cause some damage to Tengda and Boss Pei’s image.

After all, Pei Qian felt that his current image was a little too ridiculous.
He had inexplicably been followed and praised by many people.
It was not a bad thing to reduce his image appropriately.

It would also help him to incur losses!

Pei Qian did not mind and said to the assistant, “It’s alright.
Let him mess around.
We don’t have to respond.”

The instructor, Zhang Wei, was busy.
It might be graduation season but their work as counselors was not lacking at all.

However, the good thing was that he would be able to reach the summer holidays after being busy for a while.

“There are still a few students whose employment problems have not been resolved.
What should we do? It’s almost July.”

“I can’t possibly ask Pei Qian to stuff him into Tengda Corporation, right? It’s not appropriate to keep stuffing people there.”

Every year during graduation season, the school would be troubled by the employment rate.

Zhang Wei was at a loss for the time being.
The main reason was that if Tengda Corporation had developed better, it would have been fine.
However, Tengda Corporation and the anti-Tengda Alliance’s commercial war had been very heated recently.
There would definitely be many internal affairs.
Pei Qian would definitely find it difficult to take the time to energy out.

It did not seem appropriate to trouble Pei Qian to solve the employment problem at this time.

“These big companies are really worse than the other.”

“It’s fine if you can’t win against ordinary business competitions, but now, you’re no longer playing by the book and resorting to cheap tricks.”

Zhang Wei also felt very ashamed of his behavior against Tengda Alliance and Zheng Hao.

Of course, he was on Tengda’s side.
However, he was very puzzled.
Why could the public opinion of the anti-Tengda Alliance still cause such a huge uproar despite failing time and time again?

Wasn’t it easy to tell right from wrong at a glance?

He could only say that there were too many people participating.
It was extremely difficult for everyone to reach the same consensus.

Zhang Wei accessed the intranet out of habit.

A notice was displayed on the intranet’s eye-catching screen: a notice about the results of undergraduates’ outstanding graduation thesis (design).

Zhang Wei immediately perked up.
He clicked on the attached table under the public notice.
Indeed, Pei Qian’s thesis was among them!

Zhang Wei had wanted to help Pei Qian change the thesis before submitting it.
However, he realized that he did not know where to start after reading the thesis.
He found a few young lecturers.
Everyone had different opinions.

In the end, Zhang Wei could only hand the original thesis to Prof Kong.
He did not expect Prof Kong to give him such a high evaluation.

This thesis was reported layer by layer and went through the process.

During this period, Pei Qian returned to school to participate in the graduation dissertation.
However, the dissertation was basically a formality.
He only asked a few simple questions.

Subsequently, this thesis was selected as an outstanding undergraduate thesis under Prof Kong’s recommendation.

Zhang Wei looked at the name list again.
It was a pity that Ma Yang’s thesis was not on it.

In fact, if not for Pei Qian’s thesis, Ma Yang’s thesis would have been very hopeful.

However, Ma Yang’s thesis was expanded from a certain angle on the basis of Pei Qian’s thesis.
The thesis might be detailed and the format was perfect but it was overshadowed by Pei Qian’s thesis.

What’s more, it seemed unfair to the other students if the outstanding graduation thesis was given to the two of them at the same time.

Thus, Ma Yang’s thesis was not selected.
However, in the eyes of Zhang Wei and the other teachers in the college, Ma Yang’s thesis was qualified to be evaluated as an outstanding graduation thesis.

Zhang Wei was relieved to see the name list.

Many people were indeed attacking Pei Qian’s academic level online, especially publicizing his results.

Students’ results might be considered personal privacy, but what absolute privacy could there be in this day and age? The results in the school were not confidential to begin with.
He did not know where to leak it.

Zhang Wei really wanted to speak up for Pei Qian about this.

He was the big boss of a company.
He was usually too busy managing the company.
It was good enough for him to take some time to come to school to listen to a few lectures and memorize the teachings at the end of the term.
Why did he have to ask him to score full marks for the exams?

What’s more, for someone like Boss Pei, it was already considered a self-study level.
Learning these courses in university might be helpful.
It would not matter if he did not learn it.

Many people online were using this to attack Boss Pei.
To Zhang Wei, this was unimaginable.

However, most of the time, things on the internet were so magical.
The more outstanding a person was, the people on the internet would think of ways to find shortcomings and dirt on him.
Even if there were things that were not shortcomings in others, they would magnify them infinitely until they became shortcomings.
Even if a person had been doing meaningful things, a sentence of unintentional mistake, a sentence that had been misunderstood, or a quote that had been maliciously interpreted might cause a wave of internet violence and cursing online.

In the end, those who kept themselves clean would often be forced to exit the internet and seal themselves off.
Only those who were already rolling in the mud and could attack others without any fear and pull others down the mud could continue to make meaningless noises online.

Under such circumstances, outstanding people would express their views less and less.
As time went by, some forums would become a chaotic place that attacked each other and did not understand each other, but chased after hot topics and indulged in revelry.

The people who understood this would understand how precious Tengda was and how difficult it was for Boss Pei.

As his alma mater—Handong University, of course, he had to support Boss Pei unconditionally.

Zhang Wei immediately called his colleague in charge of managing the official Weibo of Handong University.

An outstanding graduation thesis was not a small matter.
He had to publicize it.

In the afternoon, at Tengda Games…

Yu Fei was still busy with the new game.

As a no-show who wanted to get involved in everything except updating, Cui Geng had also developed a strong interest in Tengda’s new game recently.
He would come over every now and then to help Yu Fei write the game plot.

Coincidentally, Yu Fei was a little busy.
Thus, he tacitly agreed that Cui Geng would be the script writer for the new game.
He also promised to write Cui Geng in the scriptwriter’s column and show his face at the end of the film when the game was produced.

However, Cui Geng’s working attitude this time made Yu Fei very unhappy!

They had agreed to write a plot.
Cui Geng started scrolling through Weibo as he wrote.
His work efficiency was too low.

It was a good thing that Cui Geng was not one of Tengda’s editors.
Otherwise, he would have been sent on a torturous trip to experience the Tengda spirit.

Just as Yu Fei was busy, he heard Cui Geng exclaim, “Boss Pei’s thesis is amazing!”

Yu Fei was shocked.
“The thesis? What thesis?”

Cui Geng pointed at the screen and said, “Didn’t you see Boss Pei’s graduation thesis? It’s already going viral online.”

“An undergraduate relied on his graduation thesis to become a hot search.
Have you seen such a method?”

Yu Fei was even more confused.
“Boss Pei’s graduation thesis is on the hot searches? When?”

Cui Geng immediately handed his cell phone over.
“Take a look for yourself.
This is not a hot search that you bought.
It’s real popularity.”

“I can only say that there is no need to explain a tough life.
The last sentence of Boss Pei’s thesis is too domineering.
What’s more interesting is that Prof Kong did not change a single word and submitted the original text directly.
It looks like Prof Kong also quite approves of Boss Pei’s theory!”

Yu Fei looked at the cellphone and realized that Boss Pei’s thesis was on the official Weibo of Handong University.

Previously, the President of Home Take-Out, Zheng Hao, had been so angry that he had provoked Boss Pei many times.
First, he had attacked Boss Pei’s academic results that were floating past 60 points.
Then, he had announced that Boss Pei did not have real talent.
Instead, he was a person fishing for reputation.
He had even clamored to debate with Boss Pei in person.

Zheng Hao’s pestering was very ungentlemanly and was indeed a behavior that they could not afford to lose.
However, many people indeed became suspicious of Boss Pei because of this.

After all, Boss Pei never showed his face in public, and he almost never expressed his views on the outside world.

Of course, the people around Boss Pei knew that Boss Pei was a wise and brilliant leader who had everything under control! However, in the eyes of the netizens outside who did not know the truth, Boss Pei had been praised so much that he even looked god-like.
There would always be reverse psychology.

Thus, Zheng Hao’s remarks resonated with some.
It had indeed affected Boss Pei’s image.

Now, Boss Pei’s graduation thesis had won the outstanding graduation thesis of Handong University.
This was enough to fight back against Zheng Hao’s discrediting!
