Chapter 463 Boss Pei was Testing You!

March 23rd, Wednesday… Thriller Hostel’s construction was in full swing.

Chen Kangtuo and Hao Qiong were there at the site. Apart from supervising the construction each day, they also gathered material from horror novels, videos, and films and brainstormed about how to make the various projects in Thriller Hostel better.

They had various subordinates in charge of various work in the haunted house, but there weren’t many of them to begin with. When the haunted house was almost done, they planned to recruit a large group of employees to sell tickets, act, and maintain cleanliness.

However, all three projects of the haunted house would probably only be completed in at least three more months.

Just like before, Chen Kangtuo stared at the design diagram on his computer screen and seriously considered various details. All of a sudden, his cell phone vibrated. It was a message.

Chen Kangtuo jumped and then gestured for Hao Qiong to come over.

“Quick, be prepared! Boss Pei is coming!”

Hao Qiong had been engrossed in something on his cell phone. It was the latest horror novel on Zhongdian Chinese Network, which had achieved pretty good results.

However, upon hearing Chen Kangtuo’s words, he quickly asked, “When?”

Chen Kangtuo was already on his feet, organizing various documents. “He’ll be here in ten minutes!”

Both of them quickly cleaned up all the trash lying around.

They were in a temporary office set up in the corner of the factory, which had been done up strictly according to the Tengda spirit. There were large office desks, a sofa, and a refrigerator. All in all, the office environment was very cozy.

However, it was also usually messy at the same

time.

There were random items like empty soda bottles, horror novels, and horror concept art scattered across the sofa and office desk. Chen Kangtuo feared that it would leave a bad impression in Boss Pei’s mind if he saw the scene.

Thus, both of them quickly packed up the entire office and restored it to its original clean state.

Not long after they were done, Boss Pei arrived. With a folder in hand, Chen Kangtuo welcomed him. “Hello, Boss Pei! Please, come in!”

The folder contained information on Thriller Hostel’s various projects including floor plans, design details for each project, renderings, sources of inspiration, project costs, contracts signed with various partners, and the like.

Chen Kangtuo was sure that Boss Pei had come to ask about Thriller Hostel’s progress and several other details. Thus, he prepared as much as he could in the limited time.

Although he knew many things by heart, he could not go wrong with having the documents ready for Boss Pei’s inspection at any time.

Chen Kangtuo invited Boss Pei to sit on the sofa and then prepared himself to report Thriller Hostel’s progress.

“Boss Pei, let me update you on the construction of Thriller Hostel first,” said Chen Kangtuo once Hao Qiong had served Boss Pei a cup of tea. Boss Pei took the cup of tea and sipped it. After hearing Chen Kangtuo’s words, he shook his head and said, “There’s no need for that. I have something important for you.”

Chen Kangtuo could not help but feel nervous when he saw Boss Pei’s somber expression. What important thing did Boss Pei want to tell them about? Judging by Boss Pei’s somber expression, the task was probably extremely complicated and difficult!

Chen Kangtuo and Hao Qiong dared not ask any questions. Instead, they listened intently.

Pei Qian sipped his tea again and asked, “Based on how things have been going, how long more would the haunted house take?”

Chen Kangtuo answered, “At best, it would be three months. If everything goes according to our original plan, it would take four months.”

Pei Qian nodded. Four months was acceptable.

“I’ll give you another forty million yuan. I want to spend it all on Thriller Hostel. If you foresee any difficulties, let me know now.”

Chen Kangtuo waited for a moment and then realized that Boss Pei was done speaking. It was then that he asked, “Er… Boss Pei, is there anything else?”

Pei Qian answered, “There’s nothing else.”

Chen Kangtuo: “…the important thing you were talking about was spending money?” Pei Qian nodded. “That’s right.”

Confusion was written all over Chen Kangtuo’s face. However, a few seconds later, a realization dawned on him. “Oh! I understand now! Boss Pei, is this forty million yuan meant for building the surrounding facilities? I’ve thought about it!”

Chen Kangtuo had thought that the previous budget had been sufficient to construct all of Thriller Hostel, but there would not be a single surrounding facility!

There would be no shops, no hotels, and no restaurants. People would not be able to eat, shop, or find a place to stay. Transport was even worse. Trains aside, even public buses didn’t come here.

How could the haunted house attract tourists?! Were tourists expected to drive over and stand around while waiting for their turn to enter the haunted house?

That would be inappropriate. Now that Boss Pei was adding another forty million yuan to the project, they could finally start working on the surrounding facilities!

Pei Qian shook his head, speechless. “You’re wrong. The forty million yuan was set aside purely for Thriller Hostel.

“Spend it all on the projects, and don’t spend a single cent on the surrounding facilities. What’s more, you shouldn’t delay the complet
