Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

Chapter 1259: Reunion

October 17th, Wednesday…

The high-speed rail was about to reach Jingzhou. Zhao Xuming felt inexplicably nervous.

This was too sudden!

Yesterday, he had gone to Long Yu Corporation to work seriously. In the morning, he had completed the resignation procedures at the speed of light. After a simple handover of work, he had informed his family in the afternoon and arrived at the high-speed rail to Jingzhou today.

Jingzhou was not far from Shanghai. Even though it would take much less time to take a plane, the journey to the airport, security, waiting, and other processes were more troublesome than high-speed trains. Thus, Zhao Xuming chose high-speed trains.

The entire process was too fast and rushed. Zhao Xuming was not even mentally prepared.

Long Yu Corporation was in a hurry, and Tengda seemed to be in a hurry as well.

Zhao Xuming received more attention than when he was working. That was ridiculous.

This time, Zhao Xuming did not bring his family along. He only brought his most basic luggage like a daily business trip.

He planned to take a look at Tengda first and simply adapt to his work. If it really stabilized and the time was ripe, he would consider moving.

“I wonder what it would be like to meet Boss Pei…”

“This time, Boss Pei actually used a game design idea to exchange for me. It’s really surprising…”

Zhao Xuming was inexplicably flustered, afraid that he would not be able to meet Boss Pei’s expectations.

For example, Boss Pei’s ideas were like gold mines. They were very valuable. The only problem was that they had to spend a certain amount of time and effort to dig them out.

Now, Boss Pei was handing over a gold mine to others. He had given up on digging on his own. Instead, he was handing it over to others to dig. Everyone could split the money.

That was a huge sacrifice.

In the eyes of Long Yu Corporation, Zhao Xuming was obviously not as good as a profitable game.

Zhao Xuming felt the same.

In that case, wouldn’t it be too embarrassing if he did not achieve outstanding results after arriving at Tengda?

Speaking of which, Boss Pei had exchanged a gaming idea for him. In the end, that was the extent of his abilities?

Just thinking about it made him feel like he would die in society.

It was nothing much to hang around in Long Yu Corporation previously. In any case, the upper limit of whether one could hang around was just like that. No one could tell.

However, at Tengda, the employees here were all elites among elites. Wouldn’t it be easy to be discovered if they continued to slack here?

This made Zhao Xuming feel an inexplicable sense of danger. It was like a student in the ordinary class had been named by the form teacher to be transferred to the key class. It was a great deal!

Just as he was struggling internally, his cell phone rang.

It was Eric.

“Eh? Eric is back?”

Zhao Xuming calculated the time and felt that Eric should be done with his work there.

“But… I’m no longer in Long Yu Corporation!”

Zhao Xuming felt a little awkward. He felt that Eric had probably come to him to talk about IOI, but he had already resigned and was about to betray Boss Pei…

His old partner had become his enemy. What should he do?

Zhao Xuming still picked up the phone after some hesitation. “Hello?”

Eric said, “Boss Zhao, I just got off the plane.”

“I have something to tell you. mentally prepare yourself.”

“Boss Pei might look for you during this period to discuss poaching you to Tengda.”

“I’ve already decided to go to Tengda. I’ve already quit my job at Dayak Corporation. I told Boss Pei that I wanted him to poach you over so that we can work together. He agreed at that time.”

“This matter might not be easy to deal with. After all, you have signed the anti-competition agreement and have no freedom. In short, when Boss Pei contacted you, cooperate with him. I still hope to continue working with you.”

Zhao Xuming opened his mouth slightly and was speechless.

“Boss Zhao?” Eric thought that Zhao Xuming was too surprised to hear this news so he did not say anything.

Zhao Xuming remained silent for a moment and said, “To be honest, I’m on the high-speed rail now. I’ll arrive in Jingzhou in less than an hour.”

“Boss Pei has already arranged everything.”

It was Eric’s turn to be silent this time.

Zhao Xuming could feel Eric’s shock through his cell phone.

That was too fast!

In fact, Eric had indeed become the scapegoat after returning to Dayak Corporation’s headquarters. However, the headquarters’ arrangements for him had only been a transfer and a minor criticism. They had not reduced his salary.

After all, the headquarters understood that Eric had already taken the blame. It would be too much to reduce his salary.

However, Eric immediately resigned.

The headquarters tried to persuade him to stay two or three times, but to no avail. They could only allow Eric to hand over his work and complete the resignation procedures.

During this process, the human resource department did not forget to remind Eric that he had the anti-competition agreement.

However, Eric did not care at all.

So what if there was an anti-competition agreement? The place I am going to would not be included!

Dayak Corporation might have a huge business and did not lack him but Eric only completed the procedures after a relatively cumbersome process.

Eric only remembered to call Zhao Xuming after he landed on the plane and flew straight to Jingzhou.

It was about time for Boss Pei to poach him. He wanted to inform Zhao Xuming in advance so that he could prepare.

However, he did not expect Zhao Xuming to arrive in Jingzhou at the same time as him…

What’s more, it was much smoother over there than on his side.

That made Eric feel very complicated. On one hand, he was envious. On the other hand, he was touched.

Did Boss Pei really poach Zhao Xuming because of a single sentence from him?

He placed too much significance on him!

Dayak Corporation had never placed so much significance on him.

After a few seconds of silence, Eric said, “Alright, let’s meet in Jingzhou.”

An hour later.

Zhao Xuming and Eric settled down in the hotel and took a car to Tengda’s headquarters to meet Boss Pei.

Both of them looked at each other speechlessly.

Last week, they had been fighting side by side against the powerful Tengda Corporation. However, this week, they had both betrayed their previous company. It felt like there was a program effect.

When they arrived at the entrance of Shenhua View, the two of them alighted from the car and saw Boss Pei walking up to them with a smile. “Welcome, welcome!”

“The heavens are really helping me for you two to come to Tengda!”

“I’ve arranged a welcome feast for the two of you at the nameless restaurant on the 20th. You must be honored when the time comes.”

“I’ll bring the two of you to hand over your work today. If you need anything, you can let me know directly.”

Both of them felt overwhelmed by Boss Pei’s enthusiasm.

An idiom silently appeared in their hearts: A general who lost dare not speak about courage!

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Pei Qian brought Eric and Zhao Xuming directly to the 17th floor of the building, which was Tengda’s games department.

Pei Qian introduced as he walked. “At the moment, Tengda Games is mainly divided into two parts. One is in charge of the development of the new game, and the other is in charge of GOG’s operations and maintenance.”

“However, this floor has long been filled with people. The work desks that cannot be filled have been arranged on other floors. There are some core employees on this floor.”

“I wanted to make some adjustments and get rid of GOG’s project team a long time ago, but I just didn’t find an opportunity.”

“This is just as well. We’ll make some changes to the personnel and distribute the people in charge of GOG’s development and operations.”

“The space would be enough once Tengda’s headquarters building is built. However, the building has just started planning. It’s still a long way from completion.”

Zhao Xuming looked at the sparse work desks and wondered if Boss Pei’s position of “full of people” had deviated slightly.

Eric did not look down on the entire department seeing so few people. Instead, his expression became serious.

Long Yu Corporation had many people in charge of operations in order to operate IOI well.

On the other hand, Tengda’s development, operations, and other employees added up to only dozens of people!

That meant that all of Tengda’s employees were well-hidden. One of them could rival two or three people outside.

Eric felt pressure working with these outstanding people and being in charge of them.

Pei Qian brought the two of them to Min Jingchao’s desk.

“You will not be in charge of GOG from tomorrow onwards. I have other plans for you.”

“Hand over the work and find an old employee to be in charge of GOG’s follow-up development. Leave GOG’s domestic and overseas operations to these two.”

“They’re all old friends. There’s no need to introduce them. Boss Eric, Zhao Xuming, and Boss Zhao.”

Min Jingchao: “Huh?”

His expression was filled with surprise. Obviously, he was not mentally prepared at all.

I just arrived at work not long ago. The chairs at the work desk have not even been warmed up yet. Why did Boss Pei suddenly come and drag me down?!

However, Min Jingchao did not say anything. He just stood up and nodded. “Alright, Boss Pei.”

Pei Qian said, “Finish the handover as soon as possible and then follow me to Guangzhou.”

“On top of that, organize the current list of employees for GOG. We’ll change the office location in the near future.”

“Alright, hand over your work. Look for me if you have any questions.”

Pei Qian left very elegantly after he finished speaking.

Eric and Zhao Xuming looked at each other, obviously confused.

That was it?

Looking at Min Jingchao’s confused expression, Boss Pei had obviously not communicated this to him before!

He changed his job immediately. The key was that Min Jingchao did not raise any objections or questions and carried it out directly?

Such efficiency and execution were a little scary.

At the same time, he was even more certain that Boss Pei had astonishing control over Tengda.

This kind of control was not just power or oppression. It was obvious that Min Jingchao had no complaints about this arrangement. He seemed to approve of Boss Pei’s arrangements from the bottom of his heart.

That meant that Boss Pei had a terrifying reputation within Tengda…

Working in such a magical company, most of his previous work experience, including his colleagues’ interactive relationships, would probably be useless. He had to learn from scratch.

Of course, Min Jingchao had heard of Eric and Zhao Xuming’s names before. They were old rivals after all. However, he had no idea when Boss Pei had poached them over without anyone knowing.

“Gentlemen, I’ve heard a lot about you.” Min Jingchao smiled.

Zhao Xuming quickly said, “No, we should be the ones saying that we’ve heard a lot about you. We’ve always been beaten up and have never won.”

Eric nodded. “That’s right. We’re mainly here to learn. Please guide us!”
