Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

Liang Qingfan continued, "As one of Tengda's oldest batch of employees, Bao Xu was specially recruited by Boss Pei. Many people who came to the games department later than him were promoted to chief designer or become the person-in-charge of other departments. Only Bao Xu is still an ordinary employee in the games department."

"Is he not doing a good job? Of course not! If he really did not do a good job, how could he always get second place for outstanding employee?"

"Therefore, if Bao Xu wanted to be the person-in-charge, he would have done it long ago. That's how he is indifferent to fame and fortune."

"This time, he worked hard for the snack market. However, have you ever seen him fight for credit? Not at all, right? Obviously, he did a good deed without leaving his name. He wanted to leave the credit to the two of us. That's why he didn't come."

Zhang Yahui nodded in realization.

"So that was it!

"Brother Bao's magnanimity is admirable!"

"Tengda is really a magical company. The various departments are working together without any sectarian bias. Every employee is passionately lending a helping hand to the other departments. It's obviously not their own work, but they are doing it as carefully as if it's their own."

"I really have to thank the two of you for the success of the snack market this time! I will definitely say a few good words for the two of you when Boss Pei arrives later!"

Liang Qingfan waved his hand. "You're welcome. We're all working for Boss Pei!"

"What's more, you don't have to speak up for me. Boss Pei already knew about my transformation of the Gourmet Market. What's more, I have Sloth Apartments and other industries. I don't lack opportunities to show my hardwork in front of Boss Pei. Needless to say, Boss Pei will record down the credit that belongs to me."

"I think we should put in a good word for Bao Xu together!"

"Not only did he inject his soul into the Gourmet Market and come up with such an interesting idea, but he's also not greedy for credit. If we don't mention these contributions, Boss Pei might not know."

"Bao Xu might be indifferent to fame and fortune, but since he has sacrificed so much, everyone should know about it. We can't possibly let him sacrifice silently without any returns, right?"

Zhang Yahui quickly nodded. "You're right! Let's give Brother Bao credit when Boss Pei arrives later!"

Both of them quickly reached a consensus.

The three of them had their own responsibilities and it was difficult to distinguish who contributed the most. However, Zhang Yahui and Liang Qingfan were both in charge. They did not lack opportunities to show their faces in front of Boss Pei.

However, Bao Xu was different. He had come from the games department to help voluntarily. He was not the person-in-charge. Now, he was not taking the initiative to come and not perform in front of Boss Pei.

Who would have known that Bao Xu had contributed so much to the snack market if Zhang Yahui and Liang Qingfan had not said anything?

Logically, he had to show Bao Xu his credit in front of Boss Pei!

Boss Pei arrived just as they finished discussing.

Zhang Yahui and Liang Qingfan immediately went up to him. "Boss Pei! How is it? Are you satisfied with our work?"

Pei Qian laughed.

Satisfied, very satisfied!

I'm so satisfied that I can't wait to book a plane ticket for you to Siberia!

"Who thought of turning the snack market into a Cyberpunk style?"

The one thing that left the deepest impression on Pei Qian was the Cyberpunk style.

Before he came, he had many guesses about what the snack street looked like. However, no matter how beautiful and impressive it could be, it was still limited to the actual snack street.

Who knew that it would be made into Cyberpunk style? Who could withstand that!

Zhang Yahui and Liang Qingfan looked at each other and smiled knowingly.

Boss Pei was taking the initiative to ask? That's great!

He was just worried that there was no good entry point to show Brother Bao his credit!

If Boss Pei had not asked, introducing Bao Xu's credit would have been more or less a little deliberate and unnatural. Such behavior was actually not advocated in Tengda. Boss Pei was more disgusted by the behavior of "asking for credit".

He might be seeking credit for others but it was not safe. It would easily make Boss Pei angry.

However, he just had to answer truthfully since Boss Pei was taking the initiative to ask!

Liang Qingfan said, "I was the one who came up with the specific design plan, but Bao Xu was the one who came up with this idea! What's more, Bao Xu helped me find a large number of game concept art and concept drawings. He contributed a lot to my design work."

Pei Qian was stunned. The corners of his mouth twitched in anger.

Bao Xu?

Why did you come to the snack market instead of traveling?

Did this have anything to do with you? Huh? Did it?

Pei Qian frowned and asked, "Why is Bao Xu participating in the design of the snack market?"

Liang Qingfan answered, "Didn't he go on a holiday with me previously? He happened to meet Zhang Yahui when he returned to discuss the snack market with me. He was very interested, so he applied to the games department to come over and help the entire time."

Pei Qian was speechless.

What was going on with the games department? Why did they let him go just like that?! Couldn't they let Bao Xu work hard in the games department?

Oh, Bao Xu was a veteran. No one could control him. That was fine.

He might be very angry but he had no choice. If Bao Xu only came up with the idea to bring up the theme of Cyberpunk, it could be considered an unintentional mistake and was forgivable.

Liang Qingfan said, "Boss Pei, take a look inside!"

Pei Qian nodded and walked in with the two of them.

Zhang Yahui introduced, "Boss Pei, the entire snack market is very big. The structure inside is also more complicated."

"In particular, the entire street outside might become a snack street in the future. Therefore, we have to have a better method to guide customers."

"We've made two preparations for this."

"First, we have to work with Tengda Life App to add a new version of Cyberpunk Food Street in the application. There is a map specially used for the snack market. Once customers enter this area, they can use the map and positioning to check their location in real time."

"The entire map's interface style is also Cyberpunk style. It's filled with a sense of technology and machinery. It's both practical and beautiful."

"Apart from that, this map also has some very practical functions."

"There are many interactive missions in the snack market. The stalls will be randomly refreshed to become a half-price experience area or a free area. These can be seen on the map."

"The stalls are divided into four levels: bronze, silver, gold, and diamonds. The higher the level, the more seats there would be, and the better the location. A long period of diamond level would mean that the store would be able to move out of the snack market and obtain a shop that belongs exclusively to them on the snack street. The specific levels can also be seen on the map."

"What's more, the timing of all the stalls are uniformly planned. The timing of the stalls are not completely fixed as the vendors have shifts. we can find the specific time and queue of a certain stall on the application but we need to complete some interactive small tasks."

"This is to stimulate the benign competition between vendors and provide customers with some interaction so that they can have a good sense of participation and surprise while tasting the delicacies."

Zhang Yahui walked to a stall near the entrance as he spoke.

The stalls here were also decorated in the style of Cyberpunk. What's more, in order to strengthen the atmosphere and sense of immersion, many shops at the entrance were not snack stalls. Instead, they were shops that sold high-tech imitation guns, drug models, or mechanical prosthetic limbs models.

Of course, walking any further would bring them to snack zones.

There were two types of stalls in the snack market. One was distributed at the periphery of the snack market with its back against the wall. This type of stall was relatively large. An entire wall could be used to make shelves to display goods. It was basically selling the periphery. The other was distributed inside the snack market. It would be more open and used as a snack stall.

Beside it was a "firearms store" that was filled with simulated guns was a shop similar to a grocery store. They were selling small items such as cell phone casings, figurines, drug models, and so on.

Zhang Yahui casually picked up a thick and strong-looking notebook from the stall. "Boss Pei, this is the second map that we have prepared for customers other than the electronic map."

"This custom-made Cyberpunk notebook is made of titanium alloy. There is a yellow PVD coating on the surface of the shell. The middle part is made of black carbon fiber. It suits the art style of Cyberpunk very well."

"The content in the notebook is divided into two parts: the first half is some exquisite original arts and concept drawings used in the design process of the Cyberpunk Food Street, as well as the planning map of the snack street at different stages. The second half is blank, which is left for customers to check in and stamp at various stalls."

"The paper of the notebook is made of a special material. The paper is tough and solid, and there are relief carvings made by dented workmanship on it."

"Such a technique is often used on some name cards. The quality of the name cards is improved by embossing and matching colors. Every page is in this style in this notebook."

"We can make the first half of the original art more three-dimensional through the embossing effect. We can also suppress a position for the stamp on the blank page in the second half. That way, the position of the stamp would not deviate because of the trembling of our hands. It would look more beautiful."

"Every stall has a special seal. The symbol on this seal is made according to the snack type of the stall and the vendor's personal preferences. They are all different. It looks traditional but also has some Cyberpunk style."

"This notebook is mainly prepared for customers who like to check-in. It doesn't affect the experience whether they buy it or not."

"Combining electronic maps and physical maps would allow customers to better understand the layout of the entire snack market. It would also be more in line with the 'smart life' concept advocated by Tengda Life App."

Pei Qian fell silent again.

Good lord, this is just an ordinary snack street, and yet it's giving me so many tricks?

They were waiting for new updates, check-in and planning routes… where were their daily tasks and running laps?

Zhang Yahui and Liang Qingfan did not look like people who would come up with such a design.

Could it be…?

After a moment of silence, Pei Qian asked, "These designs couldn't have been made by Bao Xu, right?
