Chapter 145 The New Boss of Shang Yang Games
Limited by their current capital, Fei Huang Workspace could not produce an impressive documentary.
Documentaries that Pei Qian recalled were considerably successful, such as ‘A Bite of China’ which spread like wildfire across the country, had huge investments. Not only did they have to explore the entire country to record their materials, but the filming equipment was also incredibly expensive.
Meanwhile, Fei Huang Workspace could only use 50% of the net profits from Boss Pei’s Daily Life currently. That was only slightly more than a million yuan. That small amount was definitely insufficient.
It was absolutely impossible for them to film documentaries such as ‘A Bite of China’.
However, Pei Qian did not let his guard down. Since Pei Qian had considered those problems, so would Zhu Xiaoce.
He definitely knew about these.
Zhu Xiaoce was a young and talented director. Since he wanted to film a documentary, he would only proceed with it if he felt that it could succeed.
Pei Qian had been duped once. There was no way he would be duped the second time. This video would most probably still make some money.
However, as compared to short videos, these documentaries which had little investments should earn much less. That sufficed.
Thinking about that, Pei Qian said, “Okay. I’ll give you guys my support.” His tone seemed dead and lifeless. After all, he wasn’t speaking from his heart,
Huang Sibo was elated. “Thank you for the support, Boss Pei!”
After he hung up on the call, Pei Qian asked a few simple questions about what was happening over at Shang Yang Games. Assistant Xin did a brief report on the situation. Currently, everything was going smoothly. Pei Qian would be able to go over and meet his new employees on Monday and assign them their tasks.
Pei Qian contemplated for a while. “Monday… do I still need to be there on Monday?”
Assistant Xin coughed twice before replying, “Of course, you have to be there. The boss has a huge influence on the entire company. I think that it is still necessary for Boss Pei to be present and say something. Otherwise, if the employees at Shang Yang Games were left on their own, the situation might go out of control.”

Pei Qian thought through her words and found that it made sense.
Assistant Xin said that Pei Qian should be there to give them assurance and set a direction for development for the entire employee population at Shang Yang Games. Meanwhile, Pei Qian was worried if these workers would cause any trouble for him. It was possible that they might turn the losses into profits by messing around.
Although he was taking the company overafter thinking through it carefully, he noticed that there were still some differences from the previous Shang Yang Games.
One was that old Liu had changed his job; Wang Xiaobin became the new chief planner. Another was that the boss Du Ruijie had run away. Those two people should have played a major role in the original process of suffering losses in Shang Yang Games.
Pei Qian was a little uneasy since those two people were not around. To ensure that nothing went wrong, Pei Qian decided to make a trip there personally. After all, this was the only time he would be there. He would never go back anymore in the future. He wanted to try his best to ensure that he did not influence Shang Yang Games.
After all, given what happened at Tengda Games, Pei Qian was never this unconfident with his game design skills. He wanted to play it safe.
It would be way too awkward if Pei Qian said some things in the heat of the moment and replicated the disaster with Ocean Stronghold.
“Sure. Come and fetch me on Monday morning. We will head over to Shang Yang Games first.” Pei Qian sighed secretly.
It was so tiring being a boss.
Monday morning…
At Shang Yang Games…
There were still ten minutes to the starting time at Shang Yang Games, but all its employees were at the office already. They were all highly concentrated. They kept their backbones straight. They were observing the situation at the entrance while they were scanning through the documents or using the editor.
Shang Yang Games had changed its boss!
No one knew the temper and nature of the mysterious Boss Pei. Therefore, they keep themselves highly concentrated on the first day of work and were afraid of making a single mistake.
Everyone knew in their hearts how bad the previous operations at Shang Yang Games were. If Boss Pei decided to assert his authority today by finding an excuse to fire someone late, wouldn’t the victim be terribly unlucky?

Therefore, everyone braced themselves and did not dare to make any mistakes.
Wang Xiaobin had the most pressure. He was supposed to save the company as the chief planner. However, he wasn’t confident with his abilities at all.
Old Liu had found a new job. According to everyone’s experience, it was indeed natural for Wang Xiaobin, who was the systems designer, to step up to the position.
Other people would not be able to shut everyone’s mouths and gain Du Ruijie’s trust.
Wang Xiaobin did not think through it too much. There was no way he could hide away from the job handed over to him since Boss Du had chosen him personally. Moreover, Shang Yang Games was at the brink of scattering at that time. He did not think that he would remain as the chief planner for long.
However, Wang Xiaobin knew clearly that while he was good at creating charts and assigning data values, he could not handle the responsibilities of consolidating the research tasks for the entire project and confirming the direction of the game development.
Therefore, Wang Xiaobin decided that he would tell Boss Pei the truth today. He hoped that Boss Pei could assign an experienced designer from Tengda Games to be the chief planner. He could then work under the new chief planner peacefully.
On the left desk behind Wang Xiaobin, a youngster was secretly replying to the messages on his phone.
Ma Yiqun’s new message was shown on the chat. “How was it, Little Ye? Have the human resources department at Tengda called you?”
Ye Zhizhou replied, “No.”
Ma Yiqun, “No way. I remember talking about you in front of Boss Pei. Boss Pei said that he would definitely ensure that you remain employed. Could it be that he has been too busy and forgot about that?”
Ye Zhizhou, “Boss Pei had acquired Shang Yang Games directly. Don’t you know about this?”
Ma Yiqun,”???”
Ma Yiqun did not reply for a long time. It was obvious that he was shocked by the news.
What was Boss Pei planning to do?
He merely hoped that Boss Pei could help with his brother’s employment problem. In the end, this was what Boss Pei meant that he said that he would ‘definitely ensure that he remained employed’?
He had actually acquired Shang Yang Games!
Ma Yiqun and the rest had no idea about this. That was because Pei Qian felt that this did not concern them and so did not reveal this to them.
That made Ma Yiqun completely stupefied.
“Could it be that Boss Pei saw how capable Huang Sibo and I are and thought that the other employees at Shang Yang Games are equally capable? Therefore, he decided to just acquire the entire company.
“…What am I thinking? No way.”
Ma Yiqun had just left Shang Yang Games recently. He knew exactly how terrible the company was. If he used two words to describe it, it would be ‘beyond cure!!
What was Boss Pei doing by acquiring a company that was half a step into the tomb?
Ye Zhizhou looked at his watch and found that it was almost the starting time at the company. He replied quickly: “Brother Ma, I got to go. Boss Pei might be here very soon.”
After putting his phone away, Ye Zhizhou continued pretending as though he was concentrating on working on his computer. Not long after, Ye Zhizhou felt that the atmosphere at the office space suddenly became tense.
He peered with the corners of his eyes. Boss Pei had indeed arrived!
Although they had met before, he still felt suffocated from Boss Pei’s confident aura. Even though Boss Pei was still very young, he seemed to emit a unique disposition with his every move for an unknown reason.
How could he describe his disposition…?
Not lacking money? Confident? Benevolent?
Individualistic?
Those words all seemed unsuitable.
Anyways, from his disposition, Boss Pei did not seem like a Philistine person. He was the complete opposite of the original Boss Du. He then recalled Boss Pei’s previously successful games. That put a halo on him. It was hard to look at him directly.
Indeed, this should be how a true leader behaves. Boss Du could only be considered an upstart. This should be how a truly talented designer should be! Ye Zhizhou exclaimed from his heart.

To Become a Troll: A Monster Evolution Story
Thrust into the supernatural world of the deep forest, Paul finds himself in a situation where he could find himself prey to pretty much every other creature and animal around. If he's to survive, he must shed his weak form to grow stronger and survive. But the forest is full of creatures beyond human understanding, that act without the need for food or shelter and that seem to exist for the sole purpose of dragging humans to the bottom of a murky river. Is it really possible to kill such creatures when your only strength is physical prowess? --- A monster evolution story based on Swedish creature mythology. The focus will overwhelmingly be on the progression of the main character and his slow increase in strength. Although many of the creatures are based on Swedish creature mythology, I have taken creative liberties in order to ensure that evolution lines and the such are in line with the usual. The main thought I had when going into this is that I want to delay the "meeting a human" section as much as possible. My plan is to get him to endgame levels of strength before even sniffing the possibility of seeing a human. Whether I'm actually able to do this remains to be seen, but I'm holding my thumbs! Also, I'm aware that there are other troll evolution stories, but this is unrelated to them. They can do their stuff and I'll do mine, but this is in no way related to any of them. That said, hope you enjoy it!

Apostle of the Goddess
A disappointed man dreams of leaving the confines of Earth and living adventures in fantastic realms...Suddenly, his wish is granted... Albeit in a far different way from what he could have expected. An isekai genre story with a few elements from LitRPG. The overall tone will be jumping back and forth from light to dark. Expect a lot of references to anime, manga, games, etc.It is written in first-person view and will contain a side-story using a "real-life" character. Initially, the MC will be writing the story as a true journal, so the prologue and first chapters may appear a mess of things that already happened, journal entries, and afterthoughts. A few chapters in, it will change into a normal, first-person manner retelling of what happened (storywise the character "Records" what happened to him). This is a side project of mine, so I will be uploading a few chapters per month. Chapters may have a severe difference in length (albeit I will try to maintain them around 3k), but expect the overall monthly word count to be not less than 15k words.Author recommendation, if you intend to follow the story, read the new updates once a month (counting from the day the first chapter is uploaded). Content Warning: I do intend to include a few disturbing moments to emphasize the darkness of the human (and other beings) nature, so please consider that even though some chapters (especially the starting ones) are kinda like a comedy routine.
