Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

It was useless even though there were still a few comments resisting stubbornly. They were soon pushed to the bottom and drowned in the vast number of comments.

On one hand, it was because Qiao Liang had given too much concrete evidence. The fake reviewers had no more room to showcase their talents in the hearts of the people. On the other hand, it was because Pei Qian could not bear to add more money.

Previously, they had only agreed to control the comments section of the video. Many fake reviewers had come to help out at the bottom of this dynamic article. It was already a one-for-one deal. They had done their best. The fake reviewers were also doing their job with money. How could they forcibly upheave the video when it was going against the trend?

Pei Qian was stunned.

"What the f*ck…"

"I have been helping Tengda Corporation to nurture talents since we made Ocean Stronghold? Why didn't I know about this!"

He had not expected Huang Sibo to do this!

At first, Pei Qian had hoped that Huang Sibo would tell the truth and dispel Qiao Liang's delusions. However, his delusions only intensified.

As for where Huang Sibo's delusions came from, he could not delve into the details. The more he delved into the details, the bigger the problem…

At that moment, Hu Xiao sent a message.

"Brother, what should we say about this new dynamic? We can't take it anymore. We don't have enough manpower now if we want to continue suppressing, you have to pay more!"

The corners of Pei Qian's mouth twitched.

Add more money my a*s!

I'm already in this state. If I continue to add more money, would my private savings be wasted?

Pei Qian replied, "That's it. Don't worry about it."

Hu Xiao could not help but feel puzzled.

"Something's not right. According to this big brother's way of doing things, shouldn't he be more motivated the more they resist? Giving up so easily?"

"Perhaps the person behind this account has changed."

However, he did not think too much about it. Such things were common. Even though he did not make much money this time, it was a profit.

"Alright, continue with your work. You can look for me if you need anything."

…

Pei Qian had just closed Aili Island's website when someone knocked on his office door.

He looked up and saw Chen Yufeng live-streaming.

"Boss Pei, the functions that you requested previously have been developed and tested. There are no problems. However… Are you sure you want to use this 'mandatory one hour' function?"

Obviously, Chen Yufeng had objected to this function from the beginning. However, Boss Pei had been more determined previously. It was useless for him to object.

Now that the functions had been developed, Chen Yufeng specially made a trip here to probe Boss Pei's intentions and determine if the functions should really be applied.

What if Boss Pei became clear-headed again and changed his mind?

Chen Yufeng was genuinely concerned about the live-stream of Bunny Tail. As long as there was a way, he did not want to play this function.

Pei Qian knew very well what Chen Yufeng was thinking.

The more you object, the more certain I am!

However, Pei Qian was a more democratic person. He did not let Chen Yufeng execute it directly. Instead, he took a roundabout route. "What did Boss Ma say?"

Chen Yufeng was at a loss for words. After being stunned for a moment, he said, "Er… Boss Ma feels that this function is quite good. It can even allow users to take an hour every day to do something meaningful…"

Pei Qian chuckled. "In that case, why should you be worried?"

As expected of Old Ma, his mind is connected to mine!

Chen Yufeng scratched his head, not knowing what to say.

If an outsider were to hear Boss Pei and Boss Ma strongly requesting for a certain function, it would definitely be safe and foolproof.

However, this function seemed to be insulting Chen Yufeng intelligence no matter how he looked at it.

It was just short of slapping the word 'dissuade' directly onto the website's homepage.

Pei Qian said confidently, "Don't worry. It doesn't matter even if we get scolded and dissuaded at the beginning of this function. I'll make arrangements for the later stages. Just keep your heart in your stomach and carry it out seriously."

Chen Yufeng wanted to say something but hesitated. After hesitating for a few seconds, he reluctantly nodded. "Alright, Boss Pei. I'll do it now."

…

There was another knock on the door not long after Chen Yufeng left reluctantly.

It was Assistant Xin.

"Boss Pei, these are the few candidates I found suitable to be in charge of the sales department. Please take a look."

Assistant Xin handed over a document with a few resumes inside.

As she handed him the document, she added, "Your previous requests were vague. There was no clear direction, so I found all sorts of people."

"If you're not satisfied, you can add on to the screening conditions. I'll look for more."

Pei Qian did not reply immediately. Instead, he took the resumes and looked through them briefly.

Pei Qian had indeed not given very clear conditions he asked Assistant Xin to look out for previously.

Actually, he had standards but he could not say it out loud.

These resumes were basically all outstanding salespeople. Some were experienced, some were relatively inexperienced; some were eloquent, and some had personalities that were more suitable for sales…

Pei Qian flipped through all of them but was not satisfied.

These people seemed to be outstanding!

Even the most mediocre resume and ability that Assistant Xin had found was beyond what Pei Qian thought he could handle.

What's more, from Assistant Xin's perspective, those with mediocre resumes were young people who had just made a name for themselves. Young people often had drive and unlimited possibilities.

Pei Qian put the resumes aside and pondered for a moment.

"Forget it, I'll think about it after you get back to work."

Assistant Xin nodded without asking too much. "Alright, Boss Pei. You can look for me anytime if you change your mind."

Pei Qian read the resumes again after Assistant Xin left.

Yes, these people could not do!

Where should he look for talents for the sales department?

It was definitely not possible to go through the normal recruitment process. The candidates that Assistant Xin had chosen were too outstanding. The worst candidates had exceeded the upper limit that Pei Qian could bear.

"It looks like I have to do it myself."

Pei Qian felt that he could not rely on others for such things.

He flipped through the work reports of the various departments and stood up to leave the office to try his luck.

…

After leaving Shenhua View, Pei Qian walked towards the more crowded intersection.

The traffic in the vicinity gradually increased as noon approached.

Pei Qian's gaze swept across the shops on both sides of the street. He soon saw the door of Home Corporation.

"Let's try our luck inside?"

"However, most of the intermediaries of such stores should have been assimilated. The chances of meeting the right person would not be high."

"What's more, there's a huge problem with the values of the Home Corporation from top to bottom. Forget it."

Pei Qian still remembered what had happened with the formaldehyde house. He did not have a good impression of this company. He did not even bother to ask who was the intermediary with the worst performance.

He continued walking around.

"Try my luck at the swimming fitness gym?"

Pei Qian looked up. There seemed to be a new gym nearby, distributing flyers.

There might be Deposit Fitness nearby but it was unrealistic to rely on Deposit Fitness alone to satisfy all the fitness customers in the vicinity. Therefore, there were still gyms that continued to open.

Pei Qian received two flyers to show his support. He hoped that these gyms would become popular and collapse Deposit Fitness as soon as possible.

Pei Qian's eyes lit up as he walked.

That was because he realized that there was a young man holding a flyer in the middle of the crowd. He looked like he was at a loss. He wanted to give the flyer out but he did not dare to. He had finally made up his mind to approach the passer-by but was ignored by them.

He stood rooted to the ground like a wooden stake, and the pedestrians passing him were as agile as Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.

"Fate!"

Pei Qian immediately took a liking to this young man.

Wasn't this the talent he was looking for?

This young man looked ordinary, and his taste in clothes was not good. What's more, his every move exuded a strong sense of insecurity. Pei Qian even suspected that he was a little anti-social.

Pei Qian could not understand why such a person would distribute flyers on the streets. He could only say that life was not easy.

Perhaps it was because he could not do anything else that he could only distribute flyers.

Pei Qian approached the young man as he observed.

This brother seemed to have just mentally prepared himself. Everyone else rushed past him, afraid that they would not be able to avoid him. Only Pei Qian walked past very slowly. What's more, he looked over and seemed a little interested. Thus, he mustered his courage and handed a flyer over.

"Hello, do you want to know about the new gym? The membership card has a 50% discount…"

Before he could finish speaking, Pei Qian reached out to take a flyer and said, "I'm not interested in the new gym, but I'm quite interested in you."

"How old are you this year? What is your highest level of education?"

The young man was stunned. "I'm… 18, a high school graduate."

Pei Qian nodded slightly and asked, "I think you're quite introverted. Why did you choose to distribute flyers?"

The young man scratched his head. "My family isn't doing well. I have to earn money. I can't do anything else with my education level…"

It was obvious that this brother was not only introverted, he was also unguarded. He would say whatever Pei Qian asked.

However, Pei Qian could basically confirm what kind of condition this brother had. His family background was more difficult so he only graduated from high school. He came out to work early, but his small body was not very good. He could not do hard labor. His personality was very introverted so he was not eloquent. He could not count on jobs like sales. He could only reluctantly distribute flyers and jobs like this without any technical content.

In the end, he was the slowest to distribute these flyers as well.

Pei Qian nodded in satisfaction. "Yes, not bad. Young man, you have great potential. I admire you!"

"What's your name?"

The man finally felt that something was amiss. He looked wary. "You… What are you trying to do?"

If Pei Qian was a few decades older, this guy might have thought that he was going to introduce a marriage partner to him.

But now…

Could he have met a human trafficker?

He was very clear about his objective conditions. He had been beaten up in real life for more than ten years since he was young. Otherwise, he would not have become so introverted.

In the end, this guy said that he had "great potential"?

He was most likely a cheat!

Pei Qian smiled slightly. "Don't distribute flyers anymore. Come work under me. I'll give you a much higher salary than this."
