Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

Chapter 1168: Bao Xu’s Extreme Counterattack

August 3rd, Friday…

The preparatory work for the Best Employee Selection had been completed.

The heads of the various departments gathered together. The employees of the departments were also ready to vote on TPDb’s application.

The people in charge gathered again and chatted about the recent situation of the department.

Bao Xu was the only one who was holed up in his desk. His expression was blank and filled with despair.

He could already foresee his tragic fate.

He could not blame others. If he had to blame someone, he had to blame himself for doing something ridiculous!

Previously, Bao Xu’s idea was that if he had nothing to do in the department, others would think that he had nothing to do. That way, the person who obtained second place for the outstanding employee would assign him to accompany them.

In that case, as long as he became busy, the others would be too embarrassed to ask him to accompany them, right?

Thus, Bao Xu volunteered to go to the snack market to help, creating the illusion that he had something to do.

However, he did not expect that he would accidentally use too much strength!

The snack market was too popular. Not only was there a TV interview, but even the newly announced subway line was related to the snack market and Thriller Hostel.

To Bao Xu, it would be a little difficult to get first place for this contribution. However, it would probably be more than enough to get second place.

After all, Bao Xu had a natural halo when he obtained second place for the outstanding employee.

Boss Pei had treated him to a meal at the nameless restaurant and showed him the commendation letter. When Boss Li mentioned the news report, Bao Xu had felt that he had died.

It was just that he had only officially filled in the slot today.

Bao Xu had been wondering if he should say that he was sick today and not come.

However, on further thought, it seemed more tragic to be arranged to travel at home.

He had to bear witness to his own fate!

In a place that he did not see, Hu Xianbin and Min Jingchao exchanged a look, meaning that “everything will go according to plan”!

Soon, the voting officially began!

A constantly-changing bar chart appeared on the big screen. Everyone took out their cell phones, found the best employee selection channel, and cast their precious votes.

The bar chart changed rapidly. Several names stood out, and the number of votes kept increasing.

Among these names, there were some that rose very steadily, such as Hu Xianbin and Min Jingchao, who had maintained at the forefront.

However, there were also special ones such as Bao Xu.

The bar chart with Bao Xu’s name was often left far behind. Then, the number of votes would suddenly increase and catch up to a few places. In the end, it would stabilize in second place.

Everyone suppressed their smiles and tried hard not to laugh out loud seeing the change in the bar chart.

Look, Brother Bao was going on a holiday. This was the crowd’s call!

On the other hand, Bao Xu nearly had a cardiac arrest.

Obviously, Bao Xu was getting tanner and tanner. Everyone in Tengda was not innocent!

Finally, the increase in the bar chart slowed down. Hu Xianbin, Bao Xu, and Min Jingchao were in the first three places. There was not much difference between them. The votes might still be changing slowly but the positions were basically fixed.

Pei Qian could not help but feel emotional.

Sigh! Bao Xu, you can’t blame me for this. It looks like it’s the same whether I send that commendation letter or not. Everyone wants you to go on a holiday. I can’t save you.

Bao Xu, on the other hand, sat paralyzed on the chair. His face was expressionless, as if he had completely accepted his fate.

Finished. There would be no more miracles.

However, Bao Xu’s eyes widened in disbelief just as the voting was about to end.

A miracle had happened!

The bar chart on the big screen changed unexpectedly. Bao Xu, who was in second place, suddenly increased by tens of votes, surpassing Hu Xianbin to first place!

That was because the difference in votes between the three of them was very small to begin with. The tens of votes might not be a lot but it had the effect of turning the situation around.

The voting ended!

Everyone fell silent as they watched the final ranking on the big screen.

Erm…

What was going on?

Bao Xu was not in second place anymore?

Did something go wrong?

Previously, when the results of the Best Employee Selection had been released, everyone had applauded enthusiastically. However, this time, many people had forgotten. It was only when Hu Xianbin and Min Jingchao led the applause that everyone regained their composure and followed suit.

Pei Qian was stunned as well. He immediately looked disappointed.

Bao Xu was not going on a holiday?

The Best Employee Selection this time was soulless!

Speaking of which, rules were rules. The votes were cast by Tengda’s employees. The results could not be changed.

Pei Qian held the trophy in front of Bao Xu. “Congratulations! Think about how to use the Dream Fund.”

Bao Xu snapped out of his daze and took the trophy from Boss Pei excitedly.

He was happy not because he had obtained the Best Employee Award and the Dream Fund. In fact, he was not interested in this at all.

He was happy because he did not have to travel anymore!

There was still a risk of accompanying him, but…

I’ve already gotten first place for the outstanding employee. Why are you still asking me to accompany you? Is that appropriate? As long as you have a bit of humanity, you shouldn’t do something like that, right?

Thus, Bao Xu felt that he would be safe for at least six months. He could play games comfortably at home.

“Boss Pei, I haven’t thought about how to use the Dream Fund. Can you let me think about it first and let you know later?” Bao Xu said.

He had never thought that he would get the Dream Fund. Naturally, he had never thought about what industry he would use the money to start his own business.

Pei Qian nodded. “Of course, you can.”

Pei Qian looked at Hu Xianbin after speaking. “You’ve worked hard during this period. Put down your work and go out to have fun. Leave ‘Eternal Reincarnation’ to your subordinates. It’ll be a good time to nurture new people.”

“As usual, you can choose 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 by the first-place elimination system. As for who he chose to accompany him on the tour? That was not important at all.

His first reaction was to choose Min Jingchao, but Min Jingchao had to be in charge of GOG’s daily operations. He had more work to do. What’s more, Hu Xianbin had gone on a holiday. There were many things in the games department that required Min Jingchao’s care.

What if the two in charge went out to play together and something went wrong with the gaming department?

Thus, Hu Xianbin had no idea who to choose.

Huang Sibo cleared his throat. “No suitable candidates? Look for Brother Bao!”

Hu Xianbin was stunned for a moment. “Huh? But Brother Bao has already won first place for the outstanding employee.”

Huang Sibo asked back, “Is there a rule that the first place employee cannot travel?”

“What’s more, Brother Bao has contributed so much. Isn’t it normal and reasonable for him to go on a tour after receiving the Dream Fund?”

Everyone was stunned.

It could even be done this way?

However, on further thought, everything made sense!

The person who accompanied him could be anyone. There were no restrictions on the rules.

Since that was the case, why couldn’t it be Brother Bao?

Bao Xu held onto the trophy and looked at Huang Sibo in disbelief. He hated that the trophy in his hand was not a knife.

Shameless old thief!

Good lord, I’m already in this state, and you’re still asking me to go on a holiday?

Revenge, this was definitely revenge!

Bao Xu still remembered that Huang Sibo had specifically asked him to accompany him when he obtained second place for the outstanding employee.

Bao Xu brought Huang Sibo to the Great Rift Valley and the Sahara Desert in order to make an example out of him.

Obviously, Huang Sibo held a grudge and wanted to take revenge!

Bao Xu was speechless. Logically speaking, Huang Sibo had contributed greatly to Mission and Choice. He should be the one traveling.

However, the final outcome was Bao Xu himself.

What did this mean?

It meant that the entire Tengda was targeting him!

Bao Xu looked at the others, hoping to obtain some help from them.

However, everyone was already agreeing with Huang Sibo’s suggestion.

“That’s right, Brother Huang is right. There’s no rule that the first place for outstanding employees cannot be the companion.”

“Brother Bao is great at being a tourist. It’s very reasonable for him to travel.”

“If Traveller Bao Xu doesn’t travel, would he still be called a Traveller?”

“Don’t hesitate, choose Brother Bao!”

Many people were adding fuel to the fire by the side, egging Hu Xianbin on to choose Bao Xu quickly.

Hu Xianbin was still hesitating but he was obviously shaken by the public opinion. He stole glances at Bao Xu from time to time.

Bao Xu was completely speechless.

Good lord, is there no one in the huge Tengda that can stand up for me?

That made a veteran employee feel sorrowful!

Since you are so heartless…

Don’t blame me for being heartless then!

Before Hu Xianbin could decide who to accompany, Bao Xu suddenly spoke.

“Boss Pei, I’ve thought about how to use the Dream Fund. Please approve it.”

Pei Qian: “Oh? Let me hear it.”

Gritting his teeth, Bao Xu said, “I think traveling is indeed a good thing. Not only can it broaden my horizons, but it can also train my body.”

“Tengda’s tourism activities might be a lot more than other companies but it is still far from enough.”

“Many people who should have gone on holiday did not get the chance.”

“Therefore, I decided to use this sum of money to set up a travel department to send Tengda’s employees to the most special and challenging places in the world to travel!”

“In the future, Tengda’s tourism activities should be institutionalized and normalized. More and more colleagues will experience the joy of traveling to places like the Great Rift Valley, the Sahara Desert, Antarctica, the North Pole, and Siberia!”

Everyone who had been waiting to see a joke was instantly petrified.

Huh?

Finished! Finished!

This was definitely using his position to take revenge!

Initially, they had thought that Bao Xu was going to go on a holiday for sure. They had not expected Bao Xu to end up with a wave of self-destruction, turning it into heaven and earth!

In the future, no matter who Bao Xu disliked, he would arrange for them to travel. Who would be able to tolerate that?

Huang Sibo’s expression was ugly.

This was bad!

From the way Bao Xu looked at him, he guessed that he would be the first to leave on the trip once this department was established!

It was hard to say whether he would go to the Great Rift Valley or Siberia. It might depend on Bao Xu’s mood, but it would definitely not be a good place!

Pei Qian was shocked as well.

Eh? Bao Xu was awesome!

In such an extreme situation, he actually thought of a way to turn the tables and successfully kill everyone?

The only pity was that he had also sacrificed himself.

However, Bao Xu would probably not be able to escape the fate of traveling in the future no matter whether he set up this travel department or not. Since that was the case, he might as well take the initiative to be the person-in-charge of the travel department. That way, he could arrange for the others to be obedient.

Awesome!

Pei Qian nodded immediately. “Alright! Your suggestion is very good and fits the Tengda spirit.”

“Travel should indeed be institutionalized and normalized. More employees should see the vastness of the Sahara Desert and the beauty of the Egypt Pyramid.”

“It has been approved!”

“Alright, the Best Employee Selection has ended. Everyone, go back to work!”

Pei Qian, who was enjoying the show, felt satisfied.

However, the others were different.

Before this, when the Best Employee Selection ended, everyone had left happily and satisfactorily, leaving Bao Xu alone in the corner, dejected.

However, the situation had completely reversed this time!

Everyone looked confused. For a moment, they could not accept such an ending.

On the other hand, Bao Xu held onto the trophy that Boss Pei had awarded him and left with his head held high like an imperial envoy carrying an imperial sword.

When Bao Xu passed by Huang Sibo, he did not forget to show a proud smile. His eyes were filled with the pride and ridicule of a victor.

Weren’t you plotting against me?

See how I’ll deal with you later!

Get ready to eat sand in the Sahara Desert!
