Evening.

Shenhua Haojing Building, 16th floor, Tenda Group Human Resources Department.

It was time to leave work.

The Endpoint Chinese Network author, who had attended today’s training, got up reluctantly to say goodbye to Wu Bin.

“Thank you very much!”

“Today’s study of the Tenda Spirit has been incredibly beneficial to me!”

“I think your explanation was excellent. As soon as I get back, I’ll immediately try to write more slowly, properly organize the pacing of my story’s plot! Then I’ll try to write some new storylines to break through my limitations!”

Wu Bin smiled slightly: “No need for thanks. Spreading the Tenda Spirit is the duty of every Tenda employee.”

At that moment, the evening sunlight shone through the window onto him, as if wrapping him in a rainbow-colored glow, full of Zen meaning.

After seeing off the author, Wu Bin packed up his things to leave work.

Since Tenda’s recruitment was fixed at twice a year, the Human Resources Department didn’t have much to do normally. Wu Bin had now become a full-time “Tenda Spirit Trainer,” responsible for explaining the Tenda Spirit to Endpoint Chinese Network authors and guiding their creative work using the Tenda Spirit.

During the guidance process, Wu Bin discovered that his understanding of the Tenda Spirit had improved!

This feeling was like a high monk explaining Zen to people—the more beings he saved, the more pure his understanding of Buddhist principles became.

If he had been somewhat inexperienced when first explaining the Tenda Spirit to Cui Geng, now he had completely mastered the technique.

To summarize, it was a sixteen-character mantra:

Suggestion as the main approach, guidance as supplementary, teach according to aptitude, different paths to the same goal!

During the explanation process, Wu Bin discovered that these authors faced vastly different problems.

Like Cui Geng, whose main issue was that he lacked direction and motivation.

As for Mingyu, he had plenty of motivation and worked hard, but his approach to hard work was incorrect.

Regarding today’s visitor, he lacked confidence in himself, was too conservative when writing, and didn’t dare to try new content.

These problems were observed by Wu Bin during his conversations with them, and of course, these people were all aware of them.

After all, every author hoped to become famous with a single book, and they had all thought about their writing deficiencies to some extent.

Wu Bin only needed to guide them slightly, and he could immediately identify their core issues.

In this process, Wu Bin discovered that all their problems could be solved using the Tenda Spirit!

This wasn’t a coincidence.

This was because the Tenda Spirit, as a methodology, had elevated its ideological realm to a philosophical height with a certain universality!

What the Tenda Spirit solved was how to adjust one’s own state to achieve the best work effect—this was effective for anyone who wanted to achieve success!

The sixteen-character mantra of “Suggestion as the main approach, guidance as supplementary, teach according to aptitude, different paths to the same goal” was Wu Bin’s summary of how to spread the Tenda Spirit to others.

Through suggestion and guidance, he helped the other person more clearly identify the root of their creative or work efficiency problems, then prescribed targeted solutions using the relevant parts of the Tenda Spirit. Finally, he helped everyone reach a perfect working state through different paths to the same goal!

As for what constituted a perfect working state, Wu Bin had also summarized it into three points:

Through adequate rest and entertainment, maximize work efficiency during limited working hours.

Through a clear reward mechanism, maintain sufficient motivation to work.

Adhere to the principle that interest is the best teacher, always engaging in work that interests you!

After summarizing these three points, Wu Bin matched them one by one with the measures currently taken by Mr. Pei and found they aligned perfectly.

Mr. Pei provided the best rest and entertainment environment for employees, along with comprehensive benefits, which aligned with the first point.

Using TPDb ratings to determine bonus incentive mechanisms aligned with the second point.

Encouraging internal job transfers and allowing outstanding employees to receive Dream Funds to fulfill their dreams, aligned with the third point!

In summary, this was the optimal working state advocated by Mr. Pei!

What Wu Bin was doing now was helping all authors enter this optimal working state, and so far, the results had been significant.

If this method were effective for authors, it would certainly be equally effective for Tenda employees!

Wu Bin seemed to have found what he should be doing next.

……

……

February 14, Monday.

This weekend, Pei Qian hadn’t been feeling well, always sensing that something might go wrong.

What made Pei Qian most anxious was the situation with the Genius Coming app.

Continuing to burn money and promote, the app’s popularity was increasing.

However, He Desheng had already started gradually transferring shares, which should be a clear signal to Mr. Li and others.

As long as Mr. Li and the others received this signal and their confidence in the Genius Coming project was impacted…

Then the grand plan could succeed.

Pei Qian estimated that Mr. Li would likely take some action in the next couple of days, either coming to him or going to He Desheng to gather information.

Previously, Pei Qian had always been honest with Mr. Li, but Mr. Li never believed him.

This time, Pei Qian decided to lie.

He would say that he wasn’t optimistic about this project, so he had started to cash out!

This time, Mr. Li should believe him, right?

In addition, Pei Qian had also paid some attention to the situation at the Endpoint Chinese Network study group. He was delighted to discover that these authors’ update volumes had decreased again, and they were even competing to reduce their update volumes!

Previously, the study group had used the inhumane method of the “dark room” to make updating eight thousand words daily a norm for authors. However, now, after Mr. Pei’s unremitting efforts, these authors had basically regressed.

This was undoubtedly exciting, good news!

Monday was Valentine’s Day, and in the spirit of humanitarianism, Pei Qian had given employees half a day off, allowing them not to come to work in the afternoon.

Additionally, each employee received a bouquet of roses. There was no special meaning behind this, mainly because roses were more expensive on Valentine’s Day.

On other days when roses were cheap, Pei Qian wouldn’t even bother buying them.

After lying motionless in bed for a while, Pei Qian reluctantly got up, planning to first go to the company for a round, then check on the Thriller Hostel.

Chen Kangtuo had sent a message in the morning saying that the remaining three projects at the Thriller Hostel had been completed, which meant the second major project was now finished.

Pei Qian felt he needed to find a guinea pig to test the effectiveness of this mousetrap.

Ruan Guangjian would have been the best choice, but he had returned to the magic city, so Pei Qian had to settle for someone else.

Mr. Li, who had always been causing him trouble, would be a good choice.

……

When Pei Qian arrived at the company, he found that the flowers had already been delivered.

Each desk had a bouquet of bright roses, colorful and vibrant. The entire office area looked full of spring vitality, permeated with a faint floral fragrance.

Pei Qian had previously conducted a discreet investigation to ensure no one in the company was allergic to pollen, so he could give the flowers without worry.

He was about to walk to his office when Ma Yiqun, who had been waiting on the side, suddenly stopped him, holding a large bouquet of roses in front of him and presenting it forward.

“Mr. Pei, this is for you!”

Behind Ma Yiqun, Li Yada, Bao Xu, Lin Wan, Tang Yishu, Huang Sibo, and others all gathered around, while Assistant Xin stood to the side, smiling.

Pei Qian was momentarily stunned. This bouquet was two rings larger than the ones he had given to all employees, probably a special custom order.

Pei Qian’s expression was odd: “What does this mean?”

Ma Yiqun smiled and explained: “Mr. Pei, this represents all employees’ love for you!”

Pei Qian’s mouth twitched slightly: “I have no objection to your love for me, but why are you the one delivering it…”

Ma Yiqun smiled: “We originally wanted a girl to deliver it, but the girls fought too fiercely, no one would give way to anyone else, and in the end, we couldn’t select a suitable person, so I had to deliver it.”

Pei Qian: “???”

Finally receiving a bouquet on Valentine’s Day, and it’s delivered by a man!

Pei Qian accepted it with extreme speechlessness: “Thank you all…”

Just as he was about to leave, Li Yada blocked his path again.

“Mr. Pei, thank you for preparing a Valentine’s Day surprise for us. We’ve also prepared a surprise for you!”

“All games from Tenda and Shangyang Games have been simultaneously updated with Valentine’s Day activities. Players have responded enthusiastically, seamlessly connecting with the Spring Festival activities!”

“Today’s revenue alone should be higher than the previous week’s revenue!”

Lin Wan stood to the side, her face also wearing a proud smile.

Shangyang Games’ “Hot-Blooded Battle Song” had also created a Valentine’s Day activity, and like “Sea Fortress,” it was a major source of increased revenue, certainly something to be proud of.

Pei Qian: “…?”

Damn it!

This is the surprise carefully prepared for me??

This is simply repaying kindness with enmity!

Pei Qian felt as if all the thorns on this large bouquet of roses were piercing his chest…

But seeing everyone’s atmosphere so enthusiastic, Pei Qian could only force out a smile, pretending not to care.

“Hehe, very good, thank you all!”

……

Dream Fulfillment Venture Capital.

“Mr. Li, here, have some tea.”

He Desheng served tea to Li Shi, smiling as he sat across from him.

Previously, he had worked for a period at Fuhui Capital, assisting Li Shi.

However, as the saying goes, thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river. Now, when facing Li Shi, He Desheng could maintain neither a humble nor an arrogant demeanor.

Because after learning investment principles from Mr. Pei and being influenced by his environment, He Desheng felt he had already reached a higher position than Li Shi, so he could naturally look at his former boss and investment circle predecessor as an equal.

Li Shi sipped his tea: “Desheng, could you give me a hint about what Dream Fulfillment Venture Capital is thinking by transferring Genius Coming shares?”

He Desheng smiled: “What do you think?”

Li Shi put down his teacup, somewhat melancholic: “If someone else did this, I would think they were cashing out to run away. But…”

“I can’t figure out why Mr. Pei is doing this.”

He Desheng said sincerely: “If Mr. Li can’t figure it out, I certainly can’t figure it out either…”

“To be honest, I’m just faithfully executing the tasks assigned by Mr. Pei. I can’t fathom what Mr. Pei is thinking.”

“If Mr. Li wants to know, it’s better to ask Mr. Pei directly.”

Of course, He Desheng had his interpretation of Mr. Pei’s thinking, but he certainly wouldn’t tell Li Shi. After all, business is business, and he had to put Dream Fulfillment Venture Capital’s interests first.

Currently, everyone only suspected that Dream Fulfillment Venture Capital wanted to cash out, but no one was certain, because they weren’t selling much. It was difficult to distinguish whether it was because they wanted to run away or because Tenda Group needed liquid funds.

If it was the latter, there was nothing to make a fuss about; instead, they should continue investing money.

If it was the former, then they needed to be vigilant.

So, Li Shi had specially come to probe a bit.

He Desheng was deeply loyal to Mr. Pei, so naturally, he kept his mouth shut.

Of course, he also knew that Li Shi wouldn’t give up because of this, so he simply suggested that Li Shi find Mr. Pei. With Mr. Pei’s extraordinary talent, he would be able to handle this matter properly.
