Chapter 1598 Excellent Thesis

Monday, July 1st.

Pei Qian arrived at the company as usual, ready to start arranging this month's work.

July was still a very busy month.

This month, Tenda's new mobile phone and gaming router would be officially launched, and exclusive games would also be revealed.

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

Annoying things came one after another!

Fortunately, Pei Qian had now graduated and didn't need to worry about studying and exams anymore.

There was a saying: "Those who are recommended for graduate school live like pigs, those who find employment live like dogs, and those who take the postgraduate entrance exam live worse than pigs and dogs."

So, Pei Qian's current state should be the happiest of all; he only needed to endure for another half a year to be completely liberated.

Speaking of which, his graduation thesis had been submitted, and there had been no news since.

Midway, Pei Qian was a little worried and called Zhang Wei to ask.

But Zhang Wei was also vague and couldn't say for sure how the article was. He only said that Old Kong appreciated the thesis very much, and graduation would definitely not be a problem!

Pei Qian didn't ask any further. In his opinion, a thesis was like an exam; just barely passing was good enough.

Because a passing grade was the ideal perfect state: not a point more, not a point less. It didn't waste too much of his energy, and it didn't waste his time because of a make-up exam.

Anyway, Pei Qian didn't plan to do scientific research; he just wanted to casually start a small company, lose some money, and live a happy life by taking advantage of the system.

Being able to pass the exam was already an expression of his efforts to stick to the bottom line.

Just as he was looking at this month's projects, there was a knock on the door.

The new assistant came in, "President Pei, I have something to report to you."

"This weekend, Zheng Hao, the president of Zhai Ju Takeaway, has been ranting on Weibo, saying he wants to have a face-to-face debate with you and has been frequently @ing our company's official Weibo account. But because he wasn't at work the past two days, the operations team didn't report it in time after seeing it."

Pei Qian replied without looking up, "Oh, that matter, I know."

Over the weekend, Pei Qian had nothing to do, so he naturally browsed the web. He knew that Zheng Hao was a sore loser and not only revealed on Weibo that his grades in all subjects during his four years of college had barely passed, but also said he wanted to debate face-to-face and expose his persona.

But the problem was that Pei Qian only had a small Weibo account that he used to look at pretty girls; he didn't have an official Weibo account for President Pei at all.

Even if he wanted to respond, he couldn't.

Moreover, Pei Qian didn't plan to respond at all. So what if his grades in all subjects during his four years of college had barely passed?

What's wrong? Envious that I could graduate smoothly? A passing grade was also something I earned through my own ability!

Pei Qian didn't want to debate with Zheng Hao face-to-face at all because this matter had no meaning for him. What's more, Pei Qian wasn't good at debating in the first place, so why bother going out to fool around with Zheng Hao, who was getting angry out of humiliation?

Let Zheng Hao rant on Weibo. If it could really cause some damage to Tenda and President Pei's image, that would be a good thing.

After all, Pei Qian also felt that his current image was a bit too outrageous, inexplicably being followed and praised by many people. Appropriately lowering his image was not a bad thing.

It could also help him lose money!

Pei Qian didn't care and said to the assistant, "It's okay, let him make a fuss; we don't need to respond in any way."

...

Afternoon.

Counselor Zhang Wei was busy. Although it was graduation season, the work of counselors like them hadn't decreased at all.

But fortunately, after being busy for a while, it would be summer vacation.

"There are still a few students whose employment problems haven't been resolved. What can be done? It's already July."

"We can't keep asking Pei Qian to force them into Tenda Group, can we? It's not appropriate to keep sending people over there."

Every graduation season, the school had a headache over the employment rate.

Zhang Wei was also at a loss for the time being. Mainly, it would be fine if Tenda Group was developing well, but recently, the commercial war between Tenda Group and the Anti-Tenda Alliance was making a lot of noise. Internal affairs must be complicated, and Pei Qian would definitely find it difficult to spare the energy.

At this time, it didn't seem appropriate to trouble Pei Qian to solve the employment problem.

"These big companies are really unwilling to do a good deed."

"It's fine if they can't win in normal commercial competition, but now they're not playing by the rules and are using some underhanded tricks."

Zhang Wei also felt very disgusted with the behavior of the Anti-Tenda Alliance and Zheng Hao.

He was definitely on Tenda's side but felt very puzzled. Why could the Anti-Tenda Alliance still stir up such a big wave despite repeatedly losing the public opinion war?

Weren't the rights and wrongs of many things obvious at a glance?

It could only be said that too many people were involved. It was as difficult as ascending to heaven to get everyone to reach the same consensus.

Zhang Wei habitually opened the internal network to check for notices.

A notice was displayed in a prominent position on the internal network: Announcement of the Results of the Selection of Excellent Undergraduate Graduation Theses (Designs).

"Hmm?"

Zhang Wei instantly perked up and clicked on the attachment table below the announcement to view it. Sure enough, Pei Qian's thesis was on the list!

Zhang Wei originally wanted to help Pei Qian revise the thesis before submitting it, but after really reading the thesis, he realized that he couldn't find a place to start. He also found a few young lecturers, and everyone had different opinions.

In the end, Zhang Wei had no choice but to submit the thesis to Old Kong as it was. He didn't expect Old Kong to give it such a high evaluation.

This thesis was reported layer by layer and went through a constant process.

During this period, Pei Qian returned to school to participate in the graduation defense, but that defense was basically just a formality, with only a few simple questions being asked.

Later, with Old Kong's strong support, it was a matter of course that this thesis was selected as an excellent undergraduate graduation thesis.

Zhang Wei also looked at the list and was a little sorry that Ma Yang's thesis wasn't selected.

In fact, if it weren't for Pei Qian's thesis, Ma Yang's thesis would have had a good chance.

It's just that Ma Yang's thesis was based on Pei Qian's thesis and chose an angle to extend and expand it. Although the arguments were detailed and the format was perfect, it paled in comparison to Pei Qian's thesis.

Moreover, if the excellent graduation thesis was given to both of them, it seemed a bit unfair to the other students.

So, Ma Yang's thesis was not selected, but in the eyes of Zhang Wei and other college teachers, Ma Yang's thesis was fully qualified to be selected as an excellent graduation thesis.

Seeing this list, Zhang Wei was relieved.

There were indeed many people on the internet attacking Pei Qian's academic level, especially spreading the news about his grades everywhere.

Although a student's grades were considered personal privacy, in this day and age, what absolute privacy was there? School grades were not highly confidential information in the first place and could be leaked through any channel.

Regarding this, Zhang Wei really wanted to stand up and say a few fair words for Pei Qian.

He was the boss of a big company, usually too busy managing the company to even have time, and it was already very good that he could spare time to attend a few classes at school and memorize the lecture notes at the end of the term. How could anyone still expect him to get full marks in every subject?

Moreover, for people like President Pei, he had already reached the realm of being self-taught. Learning these courses in college might be helpful, but not learning them wouldn't matter much.

Many people on the internet were attacking President Pei with this, which Zhang Wei thought was simply an incredible thing.

But many times, things on the internet were so magical. The more outstanding a person was, the more people on the internet would try to find shortcomings and flaws in him. Even things that wouldn't be considered shortcomings in others would be infinitely magnified by those with ulterior motives until they became shortcomings. Even if a person had been doing meaningful things all along, a careless mistake, a misinterpreted word, or a maliciously interpreted quote could stir up a wave of cyberbullying and curses on the internet.

In the end, those who kept themselves clean would often be forced to withdraw from the internet and close themselves off. Only those who had already wallowed in the mud, could unscrupulously attack others, and drag others into the mud with them could continue to make meaningless noise on the internet.

In this environment, outstanding people would express their views less and less. Over time, some forums would become chaotic places of mutual attack, mutual misunderstanding, and yet pursuing hot topics and indulging in revelry.

And the more people who understood this, the more they would understand the value of Tenda and the difficulty of President Pei.

And as the alma mater—Handong University—it should unconditionally support President Pei.

Zhang Wei immediately called a colleague in charge of operating the official Weibo of Handong University.

Excellent graduation thesis was no small matter and must be well publicized.

...

Afternoon, Tenda Games Department.

Yu Fei was still busy with the new game.

Cui Geng, as a pigeon spirit who wanted to get involved in everything except updates, had recently become very interested in Tenda's new game and would come over every now and then to help Yu Fei write the game's plot.

Yu Fei happened to be a bit too busy, so he defaulted to Cui Geng being a screenwriter for the new game and promised that after the game was made, he would write Cui Geng's name in the screenwriter column and show his face at the end.

However, Cui Geng's work attitude this time was really something that Yu Fei couldn't stand!

He was supposed to be writing the plot, but Cui Geng started browsing Weibo while writing. His work efficiency was really too low.

It was fortunate that Cui Geng was not an employee of Tenda, otherwise he would definitely have been sent on a suffering trip to experience the Tenda spirit.

Just as Yu Fei was busy, he heard Cui Geng exclaim loudly, "President Pei's thesis is simply amazing!"

Yu Fei was startled: "Thesis? What thesis?"

Cui Geng pointed to the screen and said, "President Pei's graduation thesis, haven't you seen it? It's gone viral on the internet."

"Have you ever seen an undergraduate go viral because of a graduation thesis?"

Yu Fei was even more confused: "President Pei's graduation thesis went viral? When?"

Cui Geng immediately handed over his phone: "Look for yourself, this isn't a bought hot search spot, but real popularity."

"It can only be said that a powerful life doesn't need explanation. The last sentence of President Pei's thesis is really too domineering. What's even more interesting is that Old Kong didn't change a single word and directly submitted the original text. It seems that Old Kong also quite approves of President Pei's theory!"

Yu Fei took it over and saw that the official Weibo of Handong University had released the announcement of this year's excellent undergraduate graduation theses, and President Pei's thesis was on the list.

Previously, Zheng Hao, the president of Zhai Ju Takeaway, had been shamelessly repeatedly provoking President Pei, first attacking President Pei's grades in subjects as barely passing with 60 points, and then publicizing that President Pei actually had no real talent and was a fake who fished for fame and reputation, and even clamoring to debate with President Pei face-to-face.

Although Zheng Hao's relentless pursuit was very ungentlemanly and a behavior of a sore loser, it did cause many people to have doubts about President Pei.

After all, President Pei never showed his face in public and almost never expressed any of his views to the outside world.

The people around President Pei certainly knew that President Pei was a wise, resourceful, and great leader! But in the eyes of those ignorant onlookers, President Pei had received so much praise and even showed signs of being deified, which would always generate a rebellious mentality.

Therefore, Zheng Hao's remarks still had some market and did have some impact on President Pei's image.

But now, President Pei's graduation thesis had won the Excellent Graduation Thesis Award from Handong University, which was enough to counter Zheng Hao's smears!
