Meanwhile, work in the various departments of Tenda Group continued to progress in an orderly manner.

Since last week, when “The Person in Charge Speaks” transformed from an internal Tenda program into a topic with internet-wide participation, the acting heads of Tenda’s departments temporarily lost their main objective.

The Anti-Tenda Alliance was likely somewhat dazed from the beating they had taken, momentarily at a loss for ideas, so they hadn’t caused any new troubles recently.

Perhaps they were silently accumulating strength and looking for new breakthroughs!

Hao Xiang Fitness was hit the hardest, becoming the first company in the Anti-Tenda Alliance to be directly crushed. Although they were still struggling to hang on, their exit was a foregone conclusion.

It could only be said that they had brought this calamity upon themselves!

Ordinary consumers wouldn’t have an ounce of sympathy for them because they had positioned themselves against Tenda.

And fitness enthusiasts wouldn’t sympathize with them either, because they hadn’t provided excellent service to their customers but instead tried various ways to scam money.

Once they got involved with those internet celebrity trainers, many things became unclear.

They claimed they were serving their customers, but looking at what they actually did, who would believe them?

And when the Anti-Tenda Alliance saw that Hao Xiang Fitness was completely defeated and beyond salvaging, they would only offer verbal consolation and absolutely wouldn’t bleed money for Hao Xiang Fitness.

Perhaps behind their backs, they were even secretly cursing: “What useless trash, collapsing at lightning speed after barely holding out!”

Thinking about it, perhaps the only person who would feel sorry for Hao Xiang Fitness was Mr. Pei.

Both sides had temporarily ceased fire, and the acting heads of Tenda Group continued to busy themselves with their work. There were still two months until the “Grassroots” activity ended.

As for the original department heads, they continued to do their jobs well at the grassroots level.

Ma Yiqun was at the grassroots level at Thrilling Inn, working with Ruan Guangjian to design a new haunted house.

The two racked their brains every day for designs. Ruan Guangjian was responsible for designing artistic concepts and styles, while Ma Yiqun combined these styles and backgrounds to come up with detailed backstories.

Creating game plots was Ma Yiqun’s specialty.

Ma Yiqun didn’t plan to give a very detailed, comprehensive backstory, but instead considered breaking apart and scrambling the entire plot like in “Turn Back to Shore,” turning it into fragmented storylines, and then using various methods to insert them into different corners of the haunted house.

This way, to escape the haunted house early, one would need to complete challenges and collect these plot fragments.

Moreover, even after collecting them, one couldn’t directly restore a complete plot but could only piece together these fragmented storylines and add their own interpretation to find a general direction.

If someone collected all the plot elements but didn’t interpret the content correctly, unfortunately, all their efforts might instantly be reduced to zero.

This obviously made the entire haunted house design more thrilling and stimulating!

Perhaps in the future, there would even be a special field of study called “Thrilling Inn Studies,” dedicated to researching the true plots buried within Thrilling Inn through various clues.

This work made Ma Yiqun recall the exciting, inspiring feeling he had when creating the plot for “Turn Back to Shore”!

On the other side, Hu Xianbin was working as an editor at Endpoint Chinese Website.

Hu Xianbin was a game designer, and he originally thought he might find it very difficult to adapt to being an editor. He had been prepared to apply for overtime and work hard to learn, but after starting, he found it surprisingly smooth.

He picked it up particularly quickly!

After a brief chat with Zhu Xin’an, he learned that the two fields had some commonalities to a certain extent.

Whether making games or writing novels, one had to follow the objective laws of the industry.

Many people found it difficult to enter these fields because they overestimated themselves, mistaking their subjective feelings for the objective laws of the industry. This blind confidence actually became a huge obstacle.

Hu Xianbin didn’t have this obstacle at all, so his transition was particularly smooth.

In addition, Hu Xianbin used his experience as the head of the game department to re-examine Endpoint Chinese Website and found that the site actually had many flaws.

For example, some features were not designed rationally, and the recommendation mechanism wasn’t efficient or transparent enough. Many activities seemed lively and colorful, but compared to game activities, they immediately felt unattractive.

Of course, Endpoint Chinese Website did much better in this regard than Infinity Chinese Website, as Ma Yiqun also came from the gaming industry.

But Ma Yiqun had never really been the head of a game department, nor had he received personal guidance from Mr. Pei, so there were some deficiencies in this area.

Some operational details weren’t so outstanding.

So Hu Xianbin also found his direction: to learn while being an editor and to develop an improvement plan that would make the entire website’s operation system function like a game, maximizing ordinary users’ sense of participation and making all activities efficient and novel!

Xiao Peng and Rui Yuchen were interning at Tenda Games and Shangyang Games, respectively.

The two had never entered Tenda’s game department and could be said to know nothing about games.

Although they had done well with Slackin’ Internet Café and Slackin’ Food Delivery, they hadn’t experienced the atmosphere of imagination and creativity in the game department or truly understood its spirit, which was still somewhat lacking.

During their in-depth study in the game department, they both deeply felt why persons in charge who came from the game department could all stand on their own.

It was because of this unique workflow and work atmosphere!

Tenda’s game department was the department that emphasized imagination and creativity the most. Every person could freely express their thoughts and offer suggestions, and the person in charge had to integrate these good suggestions, giving the games infinite possibilities.

Xiao Peng and Rui Yuchen realized that in their previous work at Slackin’ Internet Café and Slackin’ Food Delivery, they might have placed too much emphasis on basic construction without fully stimulating employees’ imagination.

Compared to Tenda’s game department, they immediately felt this gap!

So they planned to continue learning earnestly, and after the grassroots activity ended, they would return to their original departments and work hard to pass on this spirit and atmosphere from Tenda’s game department!

Yu Ping’an from Useful APP went to Slackin’ Food Delivery to be a delivery person. Although he initially found it tiring and hard, after seeing delivery people from other platforms, he realized his job was much easier.

At the same time, Yu Ping’an was trying to approach delivery people from other platforms to see if he could infiltrate the enemy and find out exactly how different Slackin’ Food Delivery was from other delivery platforms.

Although Rui Yuchen had previously done an episode of “The Person in Charge Speaks,” deconstructing tactics and explaining the fact that other delivery platforms would inevitably continue to squeeze merchants and delivery people to pursue scale expansion and form monopolies, there was still a lack of data support.

It could make people take notice and think, but it was difficult to be truly eye-opening and convincing.

Yu Ping’an felt that there were many excellent young scholars and experts in his Useful APP. If he could use these experts and scholars to conduct in-depth research on the models of other delivery platforms, combined with some real-world data, he would inevitably be able to draw more persuasive conclusions!

At the same time, Headwind Logistics, as the department Mr. Pei valued most, was also undergoing changes.

The current acting head of Headwind Logistics was Xue Zhebin. He hadn’t made a big splash like the acting heads of other departments, but he was earnestly learning the entire organizational structure and work model of Headwind Logistics, ensuring it could develop steadily and smoothly.

This might stem from Xue Zhebin’s background.

His father was a coal boss, and the biggest characteristic of coal bosses was that they absolutely would not interfere with the decisions of professionals and would fully respect the objective laws of each industry.

Because when mining coal, if you don’t respect professional rules and forcibly intervene, people can die, and major safety accidents can occur!

Xue Zhebin was in charge of Headwind Logistics, taking each step very solidly, not worrying about suddenly doing this or that and messing up an otherwise well-functioning department.

For a department like Headwind Logistics, nothing was more important than stability.

And Guo Licheng, the original head of Tuoguan Fitness, had gone to the grassroots level of Headwind Logistics to be a delivery person.

When choosing departments, Guo Licheng hadn’t thought too much about it. He simply felt that his physique was the strongest, and this job might be relatively more physically demanding, so he volunteered.

The facts proved that the work at Headwind Logistics wasn’t very heavy. After delivering packages each day, Guo Licheng still had energy to go to the gym for additional training.

Tenda Group and the Anti-Tenda Alliance had very tacitly ceased fire, entering a temporary rest state.

But everyone knew this was just the calm before the storm.

Although the Anti-Tenda Alliance was retreating step by step, they would absolutely not give up.

The next battle between the two sides could break out at any time in any field!

…

Meanwhile, at the Sun Run Group headquarters in Shanghai.

Nie Yunsheng looked at the strategy report submitted by the Anti-Tenda Alliance think tank, frowning deeply, looking very dissatisfied.

“Why is it always the same old tactics? Don’t these people know that these tactics won’t cause any harm to Tenda?”

Nie Yunsheng had originally thought that forming a think tank with excellent talents from various companies would improve the current situation.

But unexpectedly, it was still the same old story. None of the ideas proposed by the think tank could make Nie Yunsheng feel enlightened!

In fact, this wasn’t the fault of the talents in the think tank for being too stupid.

It was like ancient warfare between two countries. Was there really such a big difference between the strategists of the two countries? Obviously not.

But the situations of the two countries were different. Some countries had strong national power, abundant military strength, clear politics, and wise rulers, so these strategists could have a lot of room to play, able to propose a series of strategies based on their own advantages.

When excellent strategies were selected, they became legendary stratagems for the ages.

For the weaker side, even if they had a genius like Zhuge Liang, they would ultimately be powerless to change the situation.

Because they had too few cards to play, and no matter how they played, they only had so many. Even a skilled cook can’t make a meal without rice!

This was completely consistent with the current state of Tenda Group and the Anti-Tenda Alliance.

Although Tenda Group seemed much smaller than the Anti-Tenda Alliance on the surface, it had many more cards to play.

On the Anti-Tenda Alliance side, even with so many talents, it was of no use, because many truly effective strategies completely contradicted the essence of the Anti-Tenda Alliance and could not be implemented at all.

Since that was the case, why propose these strategies and embarrass themselves?

They could only come up with feasible strategies based on the current situation, and these feasible strategies would inevitably not meet Nie Yunsheng’s standards.

As Nie Yunsheng was looking at the report, suddenly, there was a knock at the door.

A vice president hurriedly came in and said: “President Nie, quick, look! Headwind Logistics has come up with something new again!”

“They actually have a particularly fit, muscular man delivering packages, and now that picture is going viral online!”
