1398 Meng Chang's Joy and Worry

At that moment, Meng Chang had just woken up.

He had been too excited last night. He had not fallen asleep until three or four in the morning.

Meng Chang knew that the dust had settled the moment the results of Yuklaia's election were out.

Everything that happened after that could be predicted.

Of course, the most important thing to Meng Chang was money!

Was this the feeling of being relaxed after paying off his debt?

Of course, the money from Fan Xiaodong had not been transferred to him yet. That would take some time. What's more, the prerequisite was that Fan Xiaodong was a friend who was reliable. He would not run away and disappear on the spot when he saw the money.

However, Meng Chang felt that this should be an unlikely event.

He might not have finished paying all his debts, but he would be able to pay them back very soon as long as Meng Chang wanted to.

This was the first time Meng Chang felt so relaxed since he became a deadbeat. He even slept better.

As for this month's commission?

What a joke. Who would care about that commission?

Meng Chang was so excited that he did not sleep late last night. He kept flipping through all sorts of news about the Yuklaia election while thinking about what he had to do after paying all his debts.

He had already thought of many options but Meng Chang changed his mind when he woke up.

He suddenly thought of a problem. If he finished paying all his debts, would Boss Pei continue to make him the person-in-charge of Tengda's advertising and marketing department?

This looked like a very unreasonable problem. Since Boss Pei thought so highly of him and had gone through so much trouble to personally impart the Pei family's publicity method to him, it was obvious that he had nurtured him as the successor of Tengda Corporation's future advertising marketing.

He would definitely continue to stay in Tengda since he was the successor.

However, Boss Pei's actions had always been surprising.

What if Boss Pei did not approve of Meng Chang's method of taking the wrong path to earn money and chased him out of Tengda in a anger?

It was not entirely impossible.

That was because Meng Chang realized that Boss Pei's current way of spending money was very straightforward. The cultural industry, physical industry, investment… Everything he was doing was very meaningful.

As for stocks, property speculation, and other obviously easier ways to earn money, Boss Pei would not touch them.

On the other hand, Meng Chang's income was obtained within the scope of foreign law. There was no such thing in the country. Even if there was, Boss Pei would definitely not support it.

Then… how would he explain the source of the money to Boss Pei?

If it was the previous Meng Chang, he would definitely not dwell on this problem. What had Boss Pei's anger got to do with me? I couldn't wait for him to drive me out of Tengda!

After paying my debt, the outside world would be vast. I could go anywhere.

However, Meng Chang no longer thought that way.

He realized that he could learn many things in Tengda, especially the Pei family's publicity method.

At his current level, he was only an amateur. He could not say that he had only learned the surface of the Pei family's publicity method. He must have gone deeper than that. However, he was still far from completely mastering the essence of the Pei family's publicity method.

How could he give up halfway after learning half of the dragon slaying skill?

This always made Meng Chang think of the plot in some novels: His disciple learned art under his master, but he was expelled from his master because of his bad intentions. He did evil outside with the martial arts he learned, but he was actually not good at learning. His martial arts had innate flaws…

In similar plots, such people's endings would usually be especially tragic.

Meng Chang was very sure that he would not have any chance to completely master the Pei family's publicity method once he left Tengda.

At that time, he would be someone who had learned half of the ultimate martial arts and had a natural cover.

Therefore, Meng Chang fell into a dilemma. He wanted to repay all his debts immediately, but he was afraid that he would not be able to continue learning in Tengda. He was very conflicted.

Just as he was struggling internally, his cell phone rang.

It was from Fan Xiaodong.

"Brother, so awesome, so awesome!"

"Five folds!"

"Your two hundred thousand US dollars became one million US dollars!"

"I might have deducted a fraction of the cost but that's still a million US dollars!"

"You brat, you're really too bold. I have no choice but to submit to you."

"I really regret it now. I also made 50,000 US dollars with you back then. I really regret not making more even though I made a profit now!"

Fan Xiaodong could not hide the envy and excitement in his voice.

He could only say that he was still too timid.

However, he could not help it. It was human nature. Fan Xiaodong did not know Boss Pei. It was impossible for him to trust Boss Pei unconditionally like Meng Chang did and bet everything he had.

"However… Brother, I have a question."

"It's impossible for Tengda to have so much power to control other countries' selection, right? That's too ridiculous. I won't believe it no matter what!"

Obviously, Fan Xiaodong was both excited and confused.

How did he do that?

Meng Chang smiled. "Of course, Tengda doesn't have that kind of energy yet. Don't think too much about it."

"What happened this time was completely Boss Pei's foresight and insight. I can only say that true geniuses would not be constrained to a specific field when it comes to problems. Instead, they would rise to the height of philosophy and sociology. They would be able to understand everything."

"Boss Pei's success in business is definitely not a coincidence, nor is it definitely not just the success of the business rules, but the success of understanding deep rules and human nature. It's not difficult to guess the results of the Yuklaia election with such foresight."

Fan Xiaodong sighed. "Boss Pei is really a strange person. I'm completely convinced this time. Is there anything that Boss Pei can't do?"

Meng Chang was silent for a moment and said, "I want to ask this question too."

"Based on my observations of Boss Pei for so long… it's probably not that he can't do it, but he doesn't want to.

There was a short silence on the other end of the line. Obviously, Fan Xiaodong was also filled with emotion.

After a while, Fan Xiaodong said, "Do you want to pay all of your debts now, or do you want to invest the money somewhere else? You can pay your debts first. In any case, you can still have some left after paying your debts."

"If this kind of success can continue, it would only be a matter of time before the money rolls up. It would be the same sooner or later."

"After paying your debt, at least get rid of your identity as the judgment debtor. It's not convenient for you to come out now."

After some consideration, Meng Chang said, "There's no hurry. I still have some things to confirm with Boss Pei. It's possible that I can't continue staying in Tengda after paying my debt. At that time, these opportunities would naturally be gone."

Fan Xiaodong was stunned. "Why? Isn't Boss Pei your creditor? He probably can't wait for you to pay up, right?"

Meng Chang smiled helplessly. "That's because you don't understand Boss Pei. Forget it, it's not easy to explain this. In any case, you should take the money first. I'll think about it later."

Fan Xiaodong: "Alright, look at you."

After hanging up, Meng Chang felt that his stomach was rumbling with hunger. Thus, he ordered Fish-Catching Take-Out and planned to walk around the office after lunch.

This month, his main job was to promote 'Successor'. However, since he had already achieved great success and the commission was gone, his work for the next half a month did not matter to him. He could just catch fish and not work in the company.

However, after lunch, he received a message from Boss Pei.

"Boss Pei asked me to look for him in his office at about three in the afternoon?"

"This…"

"Are you praising the publicity plan I made for 'Successor'? Or did Boss Pei find out about my cheap tricks outside?"

Meng Chang was suddenly a little nervous.

Logically speaking, even if the results of the publicity plan were out and the commission was zero, he would definitely only match the plan at the end of the month.

Something must have happened for him to call him over in the middle of the month.

Meng Chang did not dare to delay and quickly got up to head to the office.

…

It was nearly three in the afternoon.

Pei Qian was typing away at his keyboard in his office, planning his spending plan for this cycle.

At the moment, Pei Qian still had four cards to play.

First of all, the construction work of the Tengda headquarters building that was being planned required a lot of funds. This would not affect settlement. He could spend more money.

Secondly, there was a project that could be postponed until next month's settlement. As long as he thought of a project that could spend more money in the short term and guaranteed that it could be officially operating before next month's settlement, he could spend a huge sum of money.

On top of that, Pei Qian had thirty million yuan - half of the starting sum for the System Funds.

Lastly, he could spend a hundred thousand yuan out of his own pocket and convert it into an additional ten million yuan for free.

Now, there were many ways to spend money. Pei Qian was no longer like before, where he could only lie down when it was time for settlement.

He could definitely struggle again.

However, Pei Qian did not have a specific idea how to execute these plans.

It was easy to deal with Tengda's headquarters building. He could stuff money into Liang Qingfan's hands and let him plan.

Pei Qian had more or less decided on the charity limit.

At the beginning, Pei Qian donated the charity amount directly to the needy students of his alma mater, Handong University. Later on, when the charity amount increased, the needy students of Handong University did not have enough. Thus, he donated it to the other universities and even the needy students in high school in Handong Province.

However, it would not be enough soon.

That was because the amount of charity would basically increase in half a year. What's more, it would increase compared to before.

Thus, Pei Qian wondered if he should include primary and secondary school students.

What's more, there might be some survivor bias when helping needy students. The so-called needy students were indeed poor, but they were all needy students who could attend school.

What about needy students who could not attend school? Wouldn't they not be able to be saved?

It might be nine years of mandatory education but there were indeed some children who could not attend it. Since he had to extend it to primary school students, he had to change the method of subsidies.
