Chapter 677 Back to Work

After reading the players' comments, Hu Xianbin sighed silently, "It seems a lot has happened in this month that I've been away."

"It's okay, I'll ask Yu Fei when I get back, and Min Jingchao too. I'm sure they can explain all these questions."

He put away his phone, preparing to close his eyes and rest for a while.

Once he got to the company to rest and hand over work to Yu Fei, he could jump right back into work.

Huang Sibao was also feeling a bit sleepy. Little Sun's driving was very smooth, putting people at ease, so he leaned back in his seat and dozed off.

After an unknown amount of time, he heard Little Sun say, "We've arrived, gentlemen."

"Huh? We're already here? That was fast."

Hu Xianbin was a little surprised because the distance from the airport to the company was quite far. Even though he had dozed for a while, it shouldn't have been more than an hour.

Looking out the car window, Hu Xianbin was stunned.

"Where is this?!"

The surroundings looked quite desolate, like an industrial park on the outskirts of the city. From the car window, he saw a large and impressive venue, seemingly spanning seven or eight hundred square meters and about five or six stories high.

Hu Xianbin and Huang Sibao exchanged glances, almost thinking they had been kidnapped.

Something wasn't right. Little Sun was President Pei's personal driver, how could he have become a double agent?

If anyone was going to be kidnapped, it should be President Pei. He's the one with all the money! We're just two wage slaves, how much could they get from us?

Before the two could conjure up even more outrageous scenarios, they saw a familiar figure emerge from the venue.

Bao Xu!

Bao Xu's face wore a mysterious smile that made them feel uneasy.

Huang Sibao and Hu Xianbin felt a "thump" in their hearts, instantly sensing a bad premonition.

Something was wrong, very wrong!

Trouble was brewing!

During their trip, Huang Sibao and Hu Xianbin hadn't contacted many of their colleagues.

They naively assumed that Bao Xu's tour group was already prepared, and the first batch of tourists had already been decided, so they wouldn't be involved.

But now, it seemed that this idea was too simplistic.

Bao Xu had been waiting for them patiently!

The business car's automatic door opened, and Bao Xu, looking at the just-returned, bewildered and terrified Hu Xianbin and Huang Sibao, smiled slightly: "What are you two waiting for? Hurry up and get out of the car."

Huang Sibao forced a smile and said, "Brother Bao, what are you joking about? We've just come back from a long journey, we're tired, and we need to hand over work and report to President Pei. Even if we're catching up, it'll have to wait a couple of days. Little Sun, hurry up and drive!"

Huang Sibao kept shrinking back, but the business car had electric doors that couldn't be manually pulled shut, otherwise he would have already closed the door.

Bao Xu chuckled, "No need to report to President Pei, and definitely no need to hand over work."

"Think about it yourselves, who told Little Sun to pick you up?"

Huang Sibao and Hu Xianbin froze, their hearts sinking.

Who else could it be?

It had to be President Pei!

Besides President Pei, who else could order Little Sun around?

If he hadn't received President Pei's approval, would Bao Xu dare to be so blatant?

Didn't that mean... they were finished?

The two were very clear that if Bao Xu had done this on his own, there might still be some room for negotiation, and they could try to get by with work-related excuses. But if President Pei had arranged it, there was no way to get out of it.

They could only honestly suffer here…

Under Bao Xu's meaningful smile, the two reluctantly got out of the car and followed Bao Xu into the seemingly impressive venue.

Bao Xu led the two around the venue, introducing the purpose of each section and telling them the duration of this special training.

One month!

For the next month, they would be undergoing intensive training in this venue, getting used to the wilderness survival environment in advance.

Staying in a hotel? No such luck.

They had to sleep in tents and sleeping bags here.

The food was slightly more lenient. To ensure nutrition, they could eat big meals every few days. But during daily training, they wouldn't be eating any less compressed biscuits and jerky.

After the tour, Hu Xianbin and Huang Sibao's expressions and mindsets had undergone subtle changes.

The last bit of luck had vanished.

They saw it now. Bao Xu had already laid a trap, waiting for them to return!

Want to run? No way.

Hu Xianbin's face was as long as a bitter gourd. He had originally planned to go back and hand over work to Yu Fei, continuing to happily be the head of the game department, but now it seemed that this month was probably impossible.

Huang Sibao was still not resigned, forcing a smile and said, "Brother Bao, such a big venue, just training the two of us, it's a bit inappropriate."

"How about this, allow us to go back and rest a bit, arrange our work, and then we can talk about it when everyone is together."

He was thinking of delaying it for as long as possible.

As long as he was allowed to go back, he would immediately book a flight to the United States to participate in the filming of *Successor* with Zhu Xiaoce and the others.

Even if Bao Xu had great abilities, he couldn't possibly run to the United States to catch him, right?

Bao Xu chuckled.

Did he think he was stupid?

His desire to run was written all over his face. How could he let him succeed?

"Don't worry, everything is arranged. People will be here soon."

"The first list was decided by President Pei. This week, we can officially start the intensive training. Not a single person will be missing."

Hu Xianbin asked, "Really? Who is coming?"

Bao Xu took out a piece of paper from his pocket, which was the list of the first term of the Suffering Travel special training class.

Hu Xianbin reached out to take it, and Huang Sibao leaned over to look.

Xiao Peng, Rui Yuchen, Ye Zhizhou, Guo Licheng, He Desheng...

Wow, the heads of several core departments of Tengda were all there. Not a single one was missing.

The two exchanged glances, finally understanding their situation.

Give up all fantasies and accept their fate!

Although these people were indeed the ones Bao Xu hated to the bone, Bao Xu obviously had no right to arrange for them to be together for a month of special training.

The only one who could finalize this list was President Pei.

President Pei had made the decision, so there was no room for negotiation.

Hu Xianbin sighed, took out his phone, and sent a message to Yu Fei.

After sending it, Bao Xu happily took away their phones. "During the special training, the phones will be kept by me. Don't worry, if there are any work-related issues, you can come to me, and I will convey them."

Hu Xianbin and Huang Sibao's eyes were full of despair.

Bao Xu thought to himself, *Heh heh, you little devils, you two will experience the despair I felt back then!*

...

At this time, Yu Fei had already packed his things and was ready to leave at any time.

He had only been temporarily filling in at the Tengda Games department for a month, and the office conditions here were very good, with great keyboards and mice, so he only had a few personal items such as a water cup, which could be carried away in a small bag.

All the paper documents used in his work were organized and placed on his desk.

All kinds of documents used on the computer had corresponding modification and submission records, and had also been neatly organized into various folders.

As long as Hu Xianbin arrived and he could briefly introduce him to the work he had done in the past month, the handover would be complete.

With Hu Xianbin's understanding of the game *Eternal Reincarnation*, this handover should be very smooth, and half an hour at most would be enough.

After the handover, the people in the game department also planned to go to Mingfu Family Banquet to hold a farewell dinner for Yu Fei, which would also serve as a farewell banquet, and they could take the opportunity to trick Hu Xianbin into treating them, extorting a sum from him.

Yu Fei browsed the web for a while, then looked at the time on his phone with some doubt.

"It's almost four o'clock, where is he?"

"Is the plane delayed? Or is there traffic on the road?"

Yu Fei didn't care too much. After all, Jingzhou's traffic was unreliable, and it was easy to get stuck on the road from the airport to the company. It would be normal for him to be twenty minutes late.

Yu Fei wasn't in a hurry and put on his headphones again, preparing to browse a few videos on the Aili Island website.

Just then, his phone rang.

It was a message from Hu Xianbin.

"Brother, I'm afraid I can't go back, I can only trouble you to cover for me for another month."

Yu Fei was stunned.

What did he mean by "can't go back"?

The way he said it, it sounded like his last words.

He quickly replied, "What's going on? Is there a problem with the flight?"

Hu Xianbin: "I just arrived in Jingzhou and was kidnapped by Suffering Travel. I have to do special training here for the next month, and I can't leave. Brother, please help me out for another month. If there's anything, call Bao Xu and let him convey it."

"Don't reply, my phone is about to be handed in."

Yu Fei: "???"

He wanted to ask more, but after sending a few messages, there was no response.

"This..."

Yu Fei looked at the message on his phone, then at his personal belongings that he had already packed, and fell into silence.

On the other side, Min Jingchao also frequently checked the time: "Hey, that's strange, according to the schedule, he should have arrived already, where is Lao Hu?"

Yu Fei silently leaned back in his chair: "It seems this meal can't be swindled..."

After understanding the whole story, the two were speechless.

Yu Fei didn't speak because he knew that he would have to cover for another month in the Tengda Games department.

Although a month had already passed, another month wasn't a big deal, but the key was... he was tired!

He was originally planning to leave, but suddenly he had to stay.

It was like when he was in school, the power suddenly went out at night, and the head teacher just said that there would be no evening self-study today and that they could leave early. But before he could finish packing his bags, the power came back on!

That was pretty much how Yu Fei was feeling right now.

As for Min Jingchao, the reason he was silent was mainly because he smelled a very dangerous scent.

Something wasn't right!

Picked up as soon as he landed, two trips back-to-back...

The situation seemed a little familiar, like retaliation!

All the heads of the department knew about Bao Xu's Suffering Travel thing, but they didn't know the specific steps and arrangements of this Suffering Travel.

Because Bao Xu refused to reveal any information in the chat group for the heads of the department, making them feel uneasy.

In the beginning, Min Jingchao didn't hold back on teasing Bao Xu and encouraging him to go on the trip with everyone else.

Now that Hu Xianbin had been arranged, were others far behind?

Min Jingchao suddenly felt a little chilly...
