August 3rd, Friday.

All the preliminary preparations for the Best Employee selection were complete.

The heads of each department gathered together, and the employees of the departments were also ready to vote on the TPDB website app.

The heads got together, chatting about the recent situations in their departments, laughing and talking.

Only Bao Xu shrank back in his workstation, his expression blank, his face filled with despair.

He had already foreseen his tragic fate.

He couldn't blame anyone else; he could only blame himself for playing around and messing up!

Bao Xu's idea before was that if he was idle in the department, others would think he had nothing to do, and the person who got the second-place Best Employee award would assign him to accompany them on a trip.

So, if he was busy, others shouldn't be embarrassed to ask him to go with them, right?

Therefore, Bao Xu volunteered to help at the snack market, creating the illusion that "I have something to do" for everyone.

But he never expected that he would accidentally put too much effort into it!

The snack market was too popular, not only was it interviewed by the TV station, but even the newly announced subway line was also linked to the snack market and Thriller Paradise.

For Bao Xu, it would be a bit difficult to win first place for Best Employee with this contribution, but it should be more than enough to get second place.

After all, Bao Xu naturally had a buff aura when it came to getting second place for Best Employee.

As early as before, when President Pei invited him to eat at the Nameless Restaurant and showed him the letter of commendation, and when Director Li mentioned the news report, Bao Xu felt like he was doomed.

It was just that it wasn't officially buried until today.

Bao Xu was still wondering if he should say he was sick today and not come.

But then he thought that being directly arranged to go on a trip at home seemed even more miserable.

He might as well come and witness his fate in person!

In a place he couldn't see, Hu Xianbin and Min Jingchao exchanged glances, meaning "everything is proceeding according to plan!"

Soon, the voting officially began!

Bar graphs that were constantly changing appeared on the big screen, and everyone took out their phones, found the Best Employee selection channel, and cast their precious votes.

The bar graphs changed rapidly, and several names stood out and continued to increase in votes.

Among these names, some were rising very steadily, such as Hu Xianbin and Min Jingchao, who had always remained at the forefront.

But there were also some special ones, such as Bao Xu.

The bar graph with Bao Xu's name often lagged behind for a while, and then suddenly surged in votes, fiercely chasing a few places, and finally stabilized in second place.

Seeing the change in this bar graph, everyone tried hard to suppress their smiles, trying not to laugh out loud.

Look, Brother Bao going on a trip, this is the voice of the masses!

As for Bao Xu, he almost had a cardiac arrest.

Obviously, Bao Xu was getting darker and darker from the sun, and everyone in Tengda was not innocent!

Finally, the increase in the bar graphs slowed down, and Hu Xianbin, Bao Xu, and Min Jingchao remained in the top three, with little difference between them. Although the votes were still changing slowly, the rankings were basically fixed.

Pei Qian couldn't help but sigh silently.

Alas! Bao Xu, I really can't blame me for this. It seems that whether I send that letter of commendation or not is the same. Everyone wants you to go on a trip, and I can't save you.

Bao Xu slumped in his chair, expressionless, as if he had completely accepted his fate.

It's over, there's no miracle.

But just as the voting was about to end, Bao Xu's eyes suddenly widened, his face full of disbelief.

A miracle really happened!

The bar graph on the big screen showed an unexpected change. Bao Xu, who was ranked second, suddenly gained dozens of votes, surpassing Hu Xianbin and coming to the first place!

Because the difference in votes between the three people was very small to begin with, these dozens of votes, although not many, played a role in reversing the situation.

Voting ended!

Looking at the final ranking on the big screen, everyone fell silent.

This…

What's the situation?

Bao Xu isn't in second place?

Is there something wrong somewhere?

When the results of the Best Employee selection came out before, everyone applauded enthusiastically, but this time many people forgot. It wasn't until Hu Xianbin and Min Jingchao took the lead in applauding that everyone came back to their senses and followed suit.

Pei Qian was also stunned, and then a slightly disappointed expression appeared.

It's not Bao Xu going on a trip?

This Best Employee selection is simply soulless!

But then again, the rules are the rules, and the votes were all cast by Tengda employees, so the results cannot be changed.

Pei Qian took the trophy and came to Bao Xu: "Congratulations! Think about how you want to use the Dream Fund."

Only then did Bao Xu wake up from his dream and took the trophy from President Pei's hand with a look of ecstasy.

He wasn't happy at all because he got the Best Employee award and the Dream Fund. In fact, he wasn't interested in this stuff at all.

He was happy because he didn't have to go on a trip!

Although there is still a risk of accompanying someone on a trip, but…

I've already won first place for Best Employee, and you're still asking me to accompany you on a trip? Is that appropriate? As long as you have a little humanity, you shouldn't be able to do such a thing, right?

So, Bao Xu felt that he was safe for at least the next six months and could comfortably stay at home and play games.

"President Pei, I haven't figured out how to use the Dream Fund yet. Can you let me think about it first and tell you later?" Bao Xu said.

He had never thought that he would get the Dream Fund at all, so naturally he had never thought about what specific field he would use the money to start a business in.

Pei Qian nodded: "Of course."

After speaking, Pei Qian looked at Hu Xianbin again: "You've worked hard during this period. Put down your work and go out and have a good time. Hand over *Eternal Reincarnation* to your subordinates, and take the opportunity to train new people."

"As usual, you can designate a colleague to go with you. Have you thought about who to choose?"

Hu Xianbin was still immersed in the joy of not being eliminated in the first place. As for who to choose to accompany him on the trip? It doesn't matter at all.

His first reaction was to choose Min Jingchao, but Min Jingchao also had to be responsible for the daily operation of GOG, and had a lot of work to do. Moreover, if Hu Xianbin went out to travel, Min Jingchao would need to take care of many things in the game department.

What if something went wrong with the work in the game department if the two heads went out to play together?

So Hu Xianbin didn't think about who to choose to go with for a while.

Huang Sibao coughed lightly beside him: "There's no suitable candidate? Look for Brother Bao!"

Hu Xianbin was stunned for a moment: "Ah? But Brother Bao has already won first place for Best Employee."

Huang Sibao asked back: "Is there a rule that says the first place Best Employee can't go on a trip?"

"Besides, Brother Bao has made such a great contribution. After getting the Dream Fund, it's very normal and reasonable to go on a trip to relax, right?"

Everyone was stunned.

Can it be like this?

But then again, what he said makes sense!

The person accompanying the trip can be anyone, and there are no restrictions in the rules.

Since that's the case, then why can't it be Brother Bao?

Bao Xu hugged the trophy aside, looking at Huang Sibao with an unbelievable expression, only hating that the trophy in his hand wasn't a knife.

Shameless old thief!

Good fellow, I'm already like this and you're still thinking about letting me go on a trip?

Revenge, this is definitely revenge!

Bao Xu remembered that when Huang Sibao got second place for Best Employee, he specifically named him to accompany him on the trip.

In order to kill the chicken to warn the monkey, Bao Xu took Huang Sibao to the East African Great Rift Valley and the Sahara Desert.

Obviously, Huang Sibao is very vengeful, so he wants to take revenge now!

Bao Xu was very speechless. Logically speaking, Huang Sibao made a great contribution to the game and movie of *Mission and Choice*, so he should be the one who should go on a trip.

But the final voting result was Bao Xu himself.

What does this mean?

It means that the entire Tengda is targeting him!

Bao Xu looked at the others, hoping to get a little help from them.

However, everyone has begun to echo Huang Sibao's proposal.

"Yes, Brother Huang is right, there is no rule that says the first place Best Employee can't accompany on a trip."

"Brother Bao is a travel expert, it's very reasonable to travel."

"If Traveler Bao Xu doesn't travel, what's the point of calling him a traveler?"

"Don't hesitate, choose Brother Bao!"

Many people were fanning the flames next to him, urging Hu Xianbin to choose Bao Xu quickly.

Although Hu Xianbin was still hesitant, seeing the public opinion like this, he was obviously a little shaken, and he peeked at Bao Xu from time to time.

Bao Xu was completely speechless.

Good fellow, in such a big Tengda, is there no one who can stand up and say a fair word for me?

How sad this makes an old employee feel!

Since you are so ruthless…

Then don't blame me for being unjust!

Before Hu Xianbin had time to specify who should accompany him on the trip, Bao Xu suddenly spoke.

"President Pei, I have thought about how to use the Dream Fund, please approve it."

Pei Qian: "Oh? Tell me about it."

Bao Xu said through gritted teeth: "I think that traveling is indeed a good thing. It can broaden your horizons and exercise your body."

"Although Tengda's travel activities are already a lot compared to other companies, it is still far from enough."

"Many people who should go on a trip have not had the opportunity."

"Therefore, I decided to use this money to establish a travel department, specializing in sending Tengda employees to the most special and challenging places in the world to travel!"

"In the future, Tengda's travel activities should be institutionalized and normalized, so that more and more colleagues can experience the joy of traveling to places like the East African Great Rift Valley, the Sahara Desert, the North and South Poles, and Siberia!"

The crowd, who had been waiting to see the joke just now, instantly petrified.

Ah?

It's over, it's over!

This is definitely taking revenge!

I thought that Bao Xu going on a trip was a sure thing, but I never expected that Bao Xu would come up with an ultimate self-destruction, making it a doomsday scenario!

In the future, if Bao Xu doesn't like someone, he will directly arrange a trip for them. Who can withstand this?

Huang Sibao's face was particularly ugly.

Crap!

Judging from the way Bao Xu looked at him, once this department is established, he's probably in the first batch!

As for whether he goes to the East African Great Rift Valley or Siberia specifically, that's hard to say, it may depend on Bao Xu's mood, but the place he goes will definitely not be a good place!

Pei Qian was also surprised.

Yo? Bao Xu is awesome!

He actually thought of a way to turn the tables in this extreme situation and successfully killed everyone?

The only pity is that he also put himself in it.

But for Bao Xu, whether he establishes this travel department or not, he probably can't escape the fate of traveling in the future. Since that's the case, he might as well take the initiative to be the head of the travel department, so that he can arrange everyone else properly.

Awesome!

Pei Qian nodded immediately: "Yes! Your proposal is very good and in line with the Tengda spirit."

"The matter of tourism should indeed be institutionalized and normalized, so that more employees can see the vastness of the Sahara Desert and the magnificence of the Egyptian pyramids."

"Approved!"

"Okay, the Best Employee selection has come to a successful conclusion, let's go back to work!"

Pei Qian, who didn't mind watching the fun, felt satisfied.

But the others are different.

When the Best Employee selection ended before, everyone left with laughter and satisfaction, leaving only Bao Xu alone in the corner, sadly depressed.

But this time, the situation has completely reversed!

Everyone looked blank, and for a while it was difficult to accept such an ending.

And Bao Xu, holding the trophy awarded by President Pei, left with his head held high, like an imperial envoy holding a sword of authority.

When passing by Huang Sibao, Bao Xu did not forget to show a smug smile, his eyes full of the pride and ridicule of a winner.

Little brat, you still want to trick me?

See how I arrange you later!

Prepare to eat sand in the Sahara Desert!
