Chapter 1 Pei Qian's Enthusiasm

Pei Qian grabbed Qiao Liang's hand at once, "Teacher Qiao, I've heard so much about you."

Qiao Liang was a little overwhelmed by President Pei's enthusiasm, and quickly bowed slightly, "President Pei, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Pei Qian sized up Qiao Liang and found that his nemesis was quite handsome. Thick eyebrows, big eyes, and regular features, but he looked a little listless and a bit chubby.

He looked like a pure, 24k internet addict, but of a different type than Bao Xu. Bao Xu was a little balding and a bit malnourished, while Qiao Laoshi's hair was still quite thick, and he looked round, just a little weak.

Qiao Liang, on the other hand, was surprised that Pei Qian was so young. He had already prepared himself for President Pei to be young, but there was still a big difference.

No matter how he looked at it, he was younger than himself...

Thinking that President Pei was already the boss of such a big company at such a young age, while he was still just playing around in the small circle of game videos, with no major achievements, Qiao Liang instinctively felt a little emotional and a little envious.

Pei Qian led Qiao Liang to the reception room, poured him a cup of tea, and exchanged a few pleasantries.

"President Pei, I've rested enough, why don't we get down to business as soon as possible?" Qiao Liang took the initiative to suggest starting work.

In fact, there was no need to be so anxious. He could have waited until after lunch to start work.

But Qiao Liang felt that President Pei was taking such good care of him, with special car transfers and such good accommodation, all kinds of treatment were already maxed out, he certainly had to show something and get into work mode as soon as possible.

Pei Qian nodded, "Okay."

This fish took the bait on its own?

Pei Qian originally wanted Qiao Laoshi to rest more, lest his mind and body suffer too much trauma, but since Qiao Laoshi took the initiative to ask, he certainly had to satisfy him.

Pei Qian took out the contract he had prepared, "Let's sign the contract first."

Qiao Liang took it and quickly browsed through it. The contract was written as agreed before, eight hours of gaming a day, 500 yuan.

If he rested on weekends, it would be about ten thousand yuan a month. If he didn't rest, the money would be paid according to overtime, and his monthly salary would be even higher.

Although this price had been discussed before, it was not said in detail, and Qiao Liang was not sure if there would be any tricks in the contract, or if it would put forward some more complicated and excessive demands.

Now that he saw the contract text, he could be sure that there were no tricks, it was just a solid eight hours of gaming a day, earning five hundred yuan!

Qiao Liang couldn't help but sigh, President Pei is a straightforward person!

In this day and age, ten thousand yuan a month is definitely a high salary.

Of course, if Qiao Liang's inspiration exploded and he frantically hustled for money, he could also earn more than ten thousand a month.

But that's too tiring.

He had to stay up late to work on materials, write scripts and edit seriously, and he also had to be lucky enough to catch up with a generous sugar daddy to earn so much.

In comparison, this job was much easier. There were no requirements, just eight hours of *回头是岸 (Huitou Shi An)* gaming every day.

After browsing through it twice, Qiao Liang happily signed his name.

"Okay, then come with me."

Pei Qian and Qiao Liang left Tengda's office building, talking and laughing.

Xiao Sun drove the two to the nearest Moyu Internet Cafe.

Pei Qian didn't plan to arrange for Qiao Liang to play games in the office area, because there, Li Yada and other employees should know some details of the game settings, such as which weapon is more powerful, which route is relatively easy, and how to obtain the "Pudu" weapon, etc.

If Qiao Liang died like a dog while playing the game, and chatted with other developers and learned some tips in the game, wouldn't that reduce the difficulty of the game?

Pei Qian wanted Qiao Laoshi to experience the game experience of an ordinary player starting from scratch in *回头是岸 (Huitou Shi An)*, so he had to eliminate this hidden danger.

In Moyu Internet Cafe, there was food and drink, high computer configurations, and plenty of wine and coffee, so Qiao Laoshi had absolutely no worries.

Soon, they arrived at Moyu Internet Cafe.

This was the Handong University branch of Moyu Internet Cafe, about a ten-minute walk from Shenhua Grand View.

Of course, although it was called the Handong University branch, it was actually not close to Handong University, and it would take at least fifteen minutes to walk there.

Because from the beginning, the location of the Internet cafe was deliberately avoided around the university, which is a good location.

However, this place is, after all, a relatively prosperous area, and the original turnover of this branch was not very low. After the Chen Lei incident, the turnover here has increased to a certain extent, and now it is second only to the flagship store, with only a small loss.

It was also because of this that Pei Qian had always treated this branch as an orphan and rarely came here.

This time, it was just right to arrange Qiao Laoshi here. When Pei Qian was in a bad mood, he could come over and see how far Qiao Laoshi had gotten in the game, so that his mood would improve.

Pei Qian introduced the store manager of this Moyu Internet Cafe to Qiao Laoshi, and then found him a corner seat on the second floor, which would be Qiao Laoshi's workstation in the future.

The initial version of *回头是岸 (Huitou Shi An)* has been installed on the computer. This version will be updated synchronously with the progress of the research and development team, and it also has a simple timer function, which will count Qiao Laoshi's game time every day. It must be higher than eight hours.

If there is not enough time on the same day, it will be made up the next day. If it is still not enough the next day, then the money will be deducted.

After that, there are some other points to note. *回头是岸 (Huitou Shi An)* is still in the development stage, and the game content cannot be revealed, so Qiao Laoshi cannot record videos or talk too much about this matter in his fan group.

There are not many customers in Moyu Internet Cafe on weekdays, and Qiao Liang's seat is very remote, so no one will come to disturb him.

Soon, everything was arranged properly.

"For daily meals, just ask the store manager to prepare them. The food in Moyu Internet Cafe is absolutely hygienic and clean, so you can eat with confidence."

"Get used to it first, I've arranged a welcome banquet for you tonight, and I'll come pick you up then."

"If you have any problems with your life, just tell the store manager."

Pei Qian solved all of Qiao Laoshi's worries.

Qiao Liang was very moved, "Okay!"

"Then you can start experiencing it, I'll go first, contact me anytime if you have any questions."

Pei Qian didn't watch Qiao Laoshi suffer and turned to leave.

This is called "seeing its birth, one cannot bear to see its death; hearing its voice, one cannot bear to eat its flesh". Pei Qian couldn't help but sigh, ah, I'm really a good person.

"President Pei is really kind, he arranged everything so thoughtfully."

"There's even a welcome banquet tonight, it sounds like it won't be low-end."

Qiao Liang happily opened the game, feeling that everything about this trip to Jingzhou was so perfect.

Alas, it would be even better if there was a girl with him.

Of course, Qiao Liang also knew that he was dreaming.

But then again, how can a girl be as fun as a game?

I don't know if President Pei's meticulous care had some psychological effect, but after Qiao Liang entered the game, he felt that the game was pleasing to the eye no matter how he looked at it.

"As expected of President Pei's games, they are all masterpieces!"

"Look at this modeling, exquisite!"

"Look at this style, unique!"

"Look at these actions, smooth!"

"Look at these monsters..."

"Damn, it hurts so much, is this a monster?"

"...How did I die???"

Looking at the black and white screen, Qiao Liang was at a loss.

What happened just now?

He just went up and touched a ragged villager with a pitchfork, but the villager turned his head and stabbed him to death in two hits!

"I... is my method wrong?"

Qiao Liang scratched his head, his eyes full of confusion.

...

...

Noon, Mingyun Private Kitchen.

"Oh? You have emperor crabs? Bring me one."

In a small private room, a flamboyant young man pointed to the emperor crab on the menu and said to the waiter.

"I'm sorry sir, this dish requires advance reservation." The waiter was polite and strictly followed President Pei's specially requested "no explanation principle" to provide service.

Of course, after saying this, the waiter felt uneasy.

Because the young man sitting in front of him was obviously not short of money, and judging by common sense, his temper might not be very good.

This guest looked very young, about twenty-four or five years old. He was wearing a fancy shirt, with a mix of red, green, yellow and various lines, making him look like a ladybug. However, the waiter could feel that this shirt probably cost at least ten or twenty thousand yuan.

Moreover, this guest was wearing gold and silver. The gold chain around his neck looked very expensive and heavy. It was definitely not the kind that would float in a bathhouse.

The most flamboyant thing was that the end of the big gold chain was also hung with a pure gold SpongeBob, which perfectly expressed the young man's irrepressible personality accompanied by the nouveau riche temperament of not being short of money.

According to the waiter's experience, this kind of guest is the most difficult to serve. If President Pei hadn't requested in advance, he would have smiled and explained in detail how rare the emperor crab was and how difficult it was to transport, so as not to displease the guest and cause unnecessary trouble.

But now, he could only follow President Pei's request and not explain too much.

The young man was not too angry, but nodded, "Oh, emperor crabs are indeed not easy to get, advance reservations are understandable."

"Then bring me some sea urchin."

The waiter still smiled and said apologetically, "I'm sorry sir, this dish requires advance reservation."

The young man frowned.

Although he still didn't say anything, he was obviously a little unhappy.

"You must have bluefin tuna, right?"

"I'm sorry sir, this dish also requires advance reservation."

The young man looked at the waiter, feeling a little confused for a moment, not knowing whether he should laugh or get angry.

The waiter very considerately pointed to a line of small print at the top of the menu: "These dishes in front require reservations because the ingredients are more precious. Please forgive us for any inconvenience."

The young man looked at it, and it was true. On each page of the thick menu, there was a note at the top stating that reservations were required. It was not very small, but it was not very obvious either, and he didn't see it.

"Okay, okay, then tell me what you have now."

The young man was too lazy to find it himself and directly asked the waiter.

The waiter very considerately helped him turn the menu to the end, turning over about 80% of the content. This time, the dishes that came out finally didn't have any small print explanations.

"Sir, these can all be made to order."

The young man frowned and looked at the dishes in the back.

There were some more complicated dishes, such as pagoda pork and golden lion fish; there were also some simpler dishes, such as health vegetables and Longjing shrimp.

The common point was that they were all very expensive, even more expensive than the prices of some high-end restaurants.

For example, this pagoda pork sells for 270 yuan. The young man remembered that he had spent about 240 yuan when he ate it locally in Hangzhou.

Of course, compared with the precious ingredients in the previous dishes, these common dishes were already considered cheap.

The young man was a little speechless.

The price was one aspect, but it was not the main problem.

The key was that all the good ingredients that he really wanted to eat required reservations.

He came all the way here, just to eat a few ordinary dishes?
