Pei Qian reviewed Bao Xu’s plan twice more and was thoroughly satisfied.

He couldn’t find anything to improve!

This was quite an extraordinary occurrence, because with previous plans, regardless of the industry or who drafted them, Pei Qian could always pick out many flaws.

But this time, Pei Qian actually thought the plan was perfect!

Moreover, for new ventures nowadays, Pei Qian would do everything possible to disassociate them from Tenda.

But this time, it wasn’t necessary.

On one hand, it would be difficult to disassociate due to Traveler Bao Xu’s prominent reputation; on the other hand, there was simply no need.

If someone really wanted to pay money to suffer, let them come!

Pei Qian believed that such bored individuals would be extremely rare.

Indeed, Traveler Bao Xu created quite a reliable travel plan.

If everyone at Tenda Group made plans like Bao Xu, how many brain cells would Mr. Pei save?

This deserved praise, absolutely!

Pei Qian was very satisfied with the plan: “Very good, let’s proceed according to this plan!”

“Other preparations are straightforward, but regarding the professional with extensive wilderness survival experience… where do you plan to find such a person?”

Bao Xu said: “I’ve already found someone.”

Pei Qian was surprised: “Oh? So quickly?”

Bao Xu was silent for a moment, then said: “Actually, I met him when I was in the Sahara Desert.”

“His name is Sa Ziran. He’s a retired special forces soldier who served at the southern border. Outdoor survival is just a part of his daily training. He once lived in a primitive forest for over half a month without supplies. He’s also highly skilled in various extreme sports including rock climbing, rappelling, and parachuting. Arranging these activities for our company’s gaming nerds should be no problem for him.”

Pei Qian exclaimed at the expertise.

Well, well, who said letting Bao Xu travel was useless?

Wasn’t he now leveraging his connections?

From Bao Xu’s tone, it seemed like he had excluded himself from the category of gaming nerds?

But looking more carefully at Bao Xu, at his sturdy physique and slightly tanned skin… it did seem somewhat inappropriate to call him a gaming nerd now.

“Would you like to meet him, Mr. Pei? I contacted him last Friday, and he arrived in Jing Zhou yesterday.”

Pei Qian silently marveled—immediately after being selected as the best employee on Friday, he had called this wilderness survival expert?

It appeared he came prepared.

“Sure, since that’s the case, let’s meet him.”

“Talking with him might also alleviate some of his concerns.”

Pei Qian wasn’t worried about other issues; anyone Traveler Bao Xu approved of would certainly be very reliable.

His main concern was that initially, Suffering Travel would primarily arrange trips for Tenda’s internal employees, possibly including department heads like Hu Xianbin. Although internally everyone knew the boundaries between managers and regular employees were blurry, to the outside world, Tenda’s department heads already held quite prestigious positions.

What if this Sa Ziran had reservations and didn’t dare to be too harsh? What then?

So, they needed to meet and tell him that Mr. Pei had his back—he shouldn’t go easy on them!

…

Bao Xu made a phone call, and about an hour later, Sa Ziran arrived.

He had an upright posture with distinct facial features and was full of energy. It was obvious he was well-trained, and his mannerisms still carried a bit of that military efficiency.

Pei Qian was very satisfied.

As the saying goes, a good master produces outstanding disciples.

Having this professional arrange the trips, with Bao Xu overseeing everything, would ensure everything was perfectly arranged!

“Hello, Mr. Pei!”

Sa Ziran was meeting the legendary Mr. Pei for the first time and felt very honored.

After standing up to shake hands, Pei Qian gestured for Sa Ziran to sit on the sofa.

“For all future matters concerning Suffering Travel, just follow Bao Xu’s instructions. I’m meeting you today mainly to emphasize a few points.”

Sa Ziran immediately understood and nodded: “Don’t worry, Mr. Pei. Bao Xu has told me that most of Tenda’s internal participants in Suffering Travel are managers who have achieved significant results. They’re Tenda’s mid-level core employees, or even higher-level leaders.”

“I understand that employees at this level are definitely extremely valuable resources for the company. If anything happened to them, you would certainly be very distressed.”

“So even without you telling me, I will definitely exercise proper judgment and go easy on them when necessary.”

“After all, these activities are experiential in nature. Taking it a bit easier won’t be a problem.”

Pei Qian was silent for a moment.

How to put this? It was obvious that Sa Ziran didn’t understand Tenda at all, which is why he could say such amateur things.

What did he mean by “Tenda’s leadership”?

Tenda’s leadership had always been just Mr. Pei alone…

The others? They were all a bunch of rebels!

What did he mean by “if anything happened to them, you would be very distressed”?

I’d set off firecrackers to celebrate on the spot! Start with five thousand rounds!

Of course, safety and health had to be guaranteed, but beyond that, what was a little suffering?

One must taste the bitterest of hardships to become the best among men!

Pei Qian cleared his throat: “No, you misunderstand.”

“What I mean is, don’t go easy on them just because they’re Tenda employees. You must intensify your efforts!”

Sa Ziran was bewildered: “Huh?”

Pei Qian righteously declared: “In the future, Suffering Travel will also accept customers from outside.”

“If we’re lenient with Tenda’s internal employees but strict with regular customers, wouldn’t that be discriminatory?”

“If we’re lenient with both Tenda employees and customers, wouldn’t that completely violate the spirit of Suffering Travel?”

“Therefore, we must treat Tenda employees and customers equally, or even hold Tenda employees to higher standards!”

“I’m meeting you today to reassure you that if you encounter anyone who doesn’t cooperate, come to me, and I’ll help you resolve it!”

Sa Ziran was shocked, and in his mind, he formed an image of Mr. Pei as a strict father figure.

Who said Tenda’s management was lenient?

Complete nonsense!

Could a company with lenient management develop and grow so quickly, achieving such tremendous success?

Just from this travel matter alone, it was clear that Mr. Pei’s requirements for his own employees were the strictest!

Sa Ziran nodded: “No problem, Mr. Pei. I will definitely complete this mission!”

Pei Qian was satisfied and turned to Bao Xu to continue: “There’s one more thing.”

“In your plan, you also wrote that to ensure safety, everyone needs special training before departure, including physical training and basic knowledge learning.”

“Where will this special training take place?”

Bao Xu said: “Uh… I haven’t really thought about this yet. But since it’s mainly physical training, perhaps at Tuoguan Fitness gym.”

Pei Qian immediately shook his head: “That won’t do!”

“Physical training is only part of the training content. More importantly, they must adapt to various wilderness requirements.”

“Constantly lifting weights and building muscles at the gym, while good for physical fitness, isn’t very meaningful when traveling outdoors.”

“I think we need to practice more practical skills like rock climbing, rappelling, fishing, making fires, and setting up tents.”

“Muscle building is difficult to achieve quickly, and even with muscles, one is just brute force. While definitely stronger than ordinary people in those special environments, it’s not particularly useful.”

“What do you think, Ziran?”

Sa Ziran hesitated, then said: “Uh… Mr. Pei, your reasoning is certainly correct.”

“However…”

“For ordinary people, as long as they’re healthy, have good physical fitness, and a bit of endurance for hardship, that’s enough.”

“After all, myself and the accompanying professional team will take care of everyone.”

“Although professional training in rock climbing and such would be very helpful, training for so many activities would require specialized venues, adding some unnecessary expenses. It’s not really necessary.”

Pei Qian was displeased upon hearing this.

What did he mean by unnecessary expenses?

All expenses are necessary!

“That definitely won’t work!”

“Tenda’s principle is to strive for excellence. How could we make do with the bare minimum?”

“Suffering Travel doesn’t just require physical fitness; more importantly, it requires mastery of relevant professional skills. We absolutely cannot be careless!”

“As for expenses? That’s completely not something you need to worry about.”

Pei Qian looked at Bao Xu: “I’ll give you ample funding to create a ‘Suffering Travel’ special training center.”

“Before going on trips, everyone must first come to this place for special training to master a series of necessary skills such as rock climbing, rappelling, fishing, fire-making, and so on. They must master these skills proficiently!”

“Also, focus on various wilderness survival training including endurance training, such as walking on pressure plates to help feet adapt to long treks… In short, you’re the professional, you surely have more ideas than I do.”

“We must ensure everything is foolproof before setting out!”

Sa Ziran was convinced: “Understood, Mr. Pei. You’re absolutely right!”

He had to admit that his thinking had been too simplistic.

Previously, his understanding of this job wasn’t deep enough. He thought it was just like those reality shows celebrities participate in—merely going through the motions, focused on the experience, and taking it easy.

But Mr. Pei clearly didn’t see it that way.

On one hand, they needed to be strict during the travel to make the entire Suffering Travel experience more meaningful, rather than just skimming the surface; on the other hand, they needed to be meticulously prepared before the travel.

Mr. Pei seemed to have both a father’s strictness and a mother’s tenderness toward his employees.

What a good boss!

That being the case, they couldn’t let Mr. Pei’s efforts go to waste.

They must work well with Bao Xu to ensure these Tenda employees enjoyed their travel to the fullest, so as not to waste Mr. Pei’s good intentions!

Seeing Sa Ziran’s expression, Pei Qian knew his persuasion had been extremely successful.

With Bao Xu in charge, wouldn’t they have everything perfectly arranged for the travelers?

Hah, Hu Xianbin and Huang Sibo had run away quite quickly, thinking they had successfully escaped.

But they would never have imagined how dramatically things would change within a month!

“Now I can rest assured. Please arrange everything quickly. Especially the training base—be sure to prepare it urgently and try to have it ready within a month.”

Pei Qian calculated that Hu Xianbin and Huang Sibo would return in about a month, just in time.

Any later, and they wouldn’t be able to achieve a “seamless transition,” which would lose some of the intended effect.

It was like operations in a game—although smooth operations and clumsy operations might achieve the same result, the former was much cooler!

Bao Xu nodded and confidently said: “Rest assured, Mr. Pei. I’ll definitely arrange everything perfectly for them!”
