Qing Shan Qu Zui
Chapter 1281 Arrange a Trip for Everyone in the Project Team!
To think that paid vacations could be a source of annoyance!
Please leave all such annoying things to me, the more the better!
Sun Xi never expected that Min Jingchao, who looked so reliable with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, would also be a Versailles master?
Especially when he said this, his face was completely serious, and he couldn't see that he was being a Versailles master at all. On the contrary, he was expressing some kind of distress very sincerely.
It was just as natural as when many people talk about their work, complaining that the work is too heavy, that they work too much overtime, and that their leaders are demanding.
Min Jingchao saw Sun Xi's constipated expression, as if he had something to say but couldn't get it out, and knew that he had probably misunderstood, so he explained, "Tengda's paid vacation is not the same thing as the paid vacation you imagine."
"Take a look at this video."
Min Jingchao tapped on his phone a few times and opened a video on the Aili Island website, which was the promotional video Meng Chang had made for Suffering Travels.
Sun Xi was silent for a moment, then reached out and took it.
The implication was, I'm going to see how you keep up this charade!
The video was not very long. Right from the start, they heard a deep male voice narrating: "There are many experiences in life that you have not experienced, and distant places that you have not been to. Whether you see them or not, they are there waiting."
"There can be many trips, and there can be many kinds of beautiful distant places, and when they meet you, they become unique..."
Coupled with the narration, there were all kinds of beautiful scenery, aerial views of lush forest seas, and scenes of people climbing, rappelling, and wading to challenge nature.
The video was very professional, both in terms of shooting equipment and skills. It was a very standard promotional video.
Moreover, compared to other travel promotional videos, it was more concise and direct.
Many travel agencies' promotional videos tend to be more artistic, with scenes of beautiful girls in long skirts walking in the wild, picking wildflowers, and writing diaries with fountain pens.
After all, the female group is a very important and high-quality target user group for travel agencies, and they are the key targets to be won over. Shooting more beautiful girls can also make the entire promotional video look more eye-catching.
These are all conclusions drawn after continuous exploration in order to cater to market demand.
However, this promotional video did not shoot anything unrelated to travel. There were only beautiful scenery and real scenes of challenging nature, and even the narration was a deep male voice.
But apart from that, there was no essential difference between it and the promotional videos of other travel agencies.
Sun Xi was a little surprised, "Suffering Travels? Why haven't I heard of this travel agency's name?"
Although the traveler Bao Xu was considered somewhat famous, Suffering Travels was still an internal project and had not been promoted commercially on a large scale. So, people who followed Tengda's various new industries in depth might know about it, but ordinary people like Sun Xi, who only paid attention to Tengda's games, knew very little about Suffering Travels.
Min Jingchao briefly explained the origin of Suffering Travels and then said, "Those people you saw in the video are all heads of various Tengda departments. Counting the special training they had a month ago, they've already been suffering outside for two months."
"I came here to help, so I escaped a disaster. I can say that I was very lucky."
Sun Xi: "..."
Incomprehensible!
How could this be considered suffering? It was clearly a benefit!
"Jingchao, I think it's a bit much for you to think that way. What is this little bit of suffering? It's just walking in the wild, and you can also go rock climbing, which is so much fun!"
"Isn't it great to go to the wilderness to feel the scenery of nature and relieve the fatigue caused by overtime?"
Min Jingchao was silent for a moment, "You think so because this promotional video is a bit deceptive..."
He knew what Hu Xianbin had encountered in Suffering Travels, so he knew very well that this promotional video only showed the most beautiful side in advance.
It's like many big shots posting videos of themselves climbing rocks and surfing online. At first glance, it seems very awesome and exciting, but when you really get started, it's not the same thing at all!
Sun Xi didn't think so at all, "What kind of deception can there be? No matter how deceptive it is, the nature of a paid vacation won't change!"
"Oh, I'm so envious. I really hope President Zhou can arrange such benefits for us."
Min Jingchao said, "Hehe. If you really want to go so much... you can tell President Zhou and ask him to arrange a package for everyone after the development of *Bullet Marks 2* is completed, and go to Suffering Travels as a group to experience it."
"Of course, I won't go. Those who want to go can sign up enthusiastically."
Sun Xi was overjoyed, "Really? That would be great! But... it's unlikely that I'll be able to bring it up. If you, Jingchao, bring it up, maybe there's still hope!"
Paid vacations are too wonderful, I'm a little afraid to think about it.
But it's not completely hopeless. If the game is successful and makes money, Zhou Muyan is still very generous.
But it's best if Min Jingchao brings up this request. It won't work if anyone else brings it up, after all, the persona and identity are there.
Min Jingchao smiled, "No problem, I'll talk to President Zhou later and definitely fulfill your wishes."
He was obviously eager to do so.
Because the number of people that Suffering Travels can accept each term is limited.
Although Min Jingchao ran to Yangcheng, he didn't completely get rid of the shadow of Suffering Travels looming over his head.
What if President Pei had a whim one day and arranged for him to be on the list for the latest term?
Since Sun Xi and the people from Tianhuo Studio are so envious and want to go so much, he will tell President Zhou and let them go.
If they take up the spots, wouldn't Min Jingchao himself be safe?
Plan complete!
Sun Xi never expected that casual chat would have an unexpected gain, and said happily, "Then thank you very much!"
He flipped through the comments below the video with relish.
This video has been out for more than a day since it was released, and there are already many comments below.
Moreover, the comments were similar to Sun Xi's attitude, and they were all somewhat interested in Suffering Travels.
"Is Tengda finally going to enter the tourism industry? This promotional video gives people a good feeling. There aren't too many pretentious clips, and it's all very practical."
"That's right, it's essentially different from the promotional videos made by those outside travel agencies. It's not at all ostentatious!"
"I'm a little tempted, what should I do? I've been too tired from work recently, and I really want to go out and travel to feel the beauty of nature..."
"Why is it called Suffering Travels? Is this name deliberately chosen to make yourself look unique? I didn't see what was so suffering in this video?"
"I heard that it's still in the internal testing stage. It will be open to the outside world in the future. I'll definitely be the first to sign up then!"
Min Jingchao also saw these comments. Unlike Sun Xi's reaction, he shook his head helplessly.
Alas, everyone is still too young and doesn't understand the dangers of the human heart at all.
Sun Xi didn't think too much about it, he just regarded it as a small Versailles episode of Min Jingchao, sorted out the list and sent it to Zhou Muyan, and then began to work on his own things.
At noon, Zhou Muyan came to invite Min Jingchao and Sun Xi to eat together.
Tianhuo Studio has a cafeteria with reasonably palatable food. Zhou Muyan was afraid that Min Jingchao would not be used to the food when he first arrived here, and would be embarrassed to say so, so he often called him to eat together.
Once the project development is on track after a while, and Min Jingchao is familiar with the other members of the project team, Zhou Muyan can rest assured.
Zhou Muyan took the two of them to a private room in the company cafeteria, ordered a few simple dishes, and chatted while eating.
Min Jingchao did not forget what he had discussed with Sun Xi before, and said to Zhou Muyan, "President Zhou, I would like to apply for a paid vacation for all members of the project team if *Bullet Marks 2* is a hit after it is launched."
"Just in time, Tengda's Suffering Travels has officially started operating recently, and it will be officially open to the outside world in another month or two."
"President Zhou, you see, Suffering Travels is mainly to temper the physique of employees and hone the spirit of hard work. Here is a promotional video."
Min Jingchao clicked on the promotional video of Suffering Travels on his phone and handed it over.
Zhou Muyan frowned slightly as he listened.
Huh? Paid vacation?
The project has only just been established, and the game hasn't even been started yet, and they're already thinking about going on vacation?
Originally, this project team gathered a group of people who didn't want to work overtime, and their work efficiency and attitude were highly doubtful. If they were told in advance that there would be a paid vacation after the project was completed, what would happen?
He took a brief look at the promotional video, and then very perfunctorily took out his mobile phone and clicked to follow it.
If he handed the phone back directly, it would seem too insincere. He had to at least click to follow it as a show, so that Min Jingchao would feel that he was indeed remembering this matter.
"Okay, I'll make a note of this matter first."
"However, Brother Min, this matter can't be rushed. After all, the game hasn't even started development yet, and it's still in the stage of hard work. It's a bit premature to talk about paid vacations."
"Don't worry, as long as the project is successful, these trivial matters will be easy to handle."
On the surface, it was said to be temporarily shelved, but in fact, it was a euphemistic refusal.
Sun Xi, who was listening next to him, knew that President Zhou would definitely react this way.
That is because Min Jingchao brought it up, and President Zhou's reply was still a little polite. If they brought it up, they might have been scolded long ago.
However, it was normal to be rejected, and Sun Xi didn't have much hope in the first place.
Seeing that Zhou Muyan didn't agree, Min Jingchao didn't say much, changed the topic, and continued to chat while eating.
...
In the afternoon, Min Jingchao and Sun Xi returned to their work stations. After taking a lunch break, they continued to work.
The designers are the busiest when the game is just launched. The two of them were immersed in writing design plans, and for a long time, they only heard the sound of typing on the keyboard.
After a long time, Sun Xi stretched and went to the water bar to get a cup of coffee, and brushed his phone while drinking.
"Hey, Suffering Travels has updated another documentary?"
Sun Xi had previously followed the Suffering Travels account. Although Zhou Muyan had rejected the application for a paid vacation in a roundabout way, this did not affect his longing for the paid vacation.
However, after clicking on the documentary and watching it for a few minutes, Sun Xi's expression changed instantly.
What the hell is this!
The things filmed in the documentary were completely different from what he had imagined!
Sun Xi couldn't help but squeeze a handful of cold sweat, and suddenly understood why Min Jingchao was afraid when he mentioned paid vacations.
This Suffering Travels is really just purely suffering!
Just looking at the painful expressions of these people when they were climbing rocks, he could empathize with their despair.
The promotional video was all lies. When the camera zoomed out, it seemed that everyone was climbing hard and enjoying themselves, but when the close-up shots were really released, and the details of everyone's desperate expressions were released, they knew that this was definitely not an enjoyment!
Sun Xi patted his chest, feeling very fortunate to have escaped a disaster, "Fortunately, President Zhou didn't agree."
"If President Zhou had really agreed, that would have been troublesome!"
It would be too desperate if the game was successful but they still had to suffer.
Moreover, he also suggested that the entire project team go together. If they really went, wouldn't the others strangle him alive?
Fortunately, President Zhou was wise and martial, and saw at a glance that this Suffering Travels was not a good thing, and rejected the proposal in a roundabout way.
As a result, not long after he put down his phone, he saw Zhou Muyan come out of his office and head straight for Min Jingchao.
"Brother Min, I just watched the Suffering Travels documentary, and I think your suggestion is very good!"
"It seems that this Suffering Travels can indeed temper our will very well. I agree with you, and after *Bullet Marks 2* is completed, whether it is successful or not, I will arrange a trip for everyone in the project team!"
