Chapter 817: Chapter 815: Suffocation

Black Rose’s hysterical orders were issued!

But, the result wasn’t the full team preparation and aggressive progress she imagined!

Instead, it was passive resistance and loafing!

Because her employees were exhausted!

Not physically tired, but mentally drained!

What time is this?!

This is Spring Festival; it’s New Year!

It’s the Heavenly Dynasty’s most important holiday!

Yet!

While others are enjoying family reunions, they’re miserably working overtime!

Working overtime on New Year’s Eve, New Year’s Day, and the second day of New Year!

Every day is overtime!

And do you know?! Many restaurants are closed during these few days!

They’ve mostly been living on instant noodles during this period!

So, they’ve been harboring resentment in their hearts!

This resentment, though temporarily subdued by monetary temptation, won’t burst!

Yet, at the same time, they won’t fight desperately like Lu Group employees; they can’t even reach the state of an ordinary company!

Move quickly?! Speed up?! You’re dreaming!

Work as one day, play as one day; whatever happens, happens!

Just ask yourself, what can come out of such a passive state?!

However, their passive state faces the crazed Lu Group!

Therefore!

Crushed!

The only thing they can do is get crushed!

On the first day!

People were just experiencing this new QR code payment.

On the second day!

This QR code payment had already become a habit for many young people.

On the third day!

In just three days, Alipay had already started expanding!

The nails Lu Group previously planted in Black Rose’s territory, as she’d feared, turned into landmines!

”Boom!”

Exploded!

On Black Rose’s power distribution map, the red representing Lu Xiaobu was visibly deepening and starting to spread outward!

The spread was incredibly fast!

One day, two days, three days!

Another three days passed!

You could see Black Rose’s territory torn apart like a rag, riddled with holes!

Black Rose hadn’t slept well these three days, with heavy dark circles under her beautiful eyes.

”What is everyone doing!? Six days! Almost a week! Just a damn QR code, can’t crack it?!”

Black Rose smashed the wine glass on the ground, roaring angrily at the CEO in front of her!

”Gulp!”

The CEO swallowed hard.

In the past, he’d loved visiting this beautiful chairman!

After all, everyone loves beauty!

However, usually, she wouldn’t easily meet anyone; the secretary would relay messages!

But these days!

He’s seen her almost every day!

Yet, he genuinely doesn’t want to see her anymore!

Because it’s truly terrifying!

He never thought such a beautiful, elegant woman could have such a ferocious expression!

”Well, the QR code looks simple, but it involves a lot of security encryption, exclusive scanning, and so on, so!”

The CEO tried to explain.

”Don’t tell me this crap! How long?!”

Black Rose’s icy gaze locked on the CEO!

”A week!”

The CEO gritted his teeth and said.

”Three days! The last three days, if you can’t do it, get lost!”

Black Rose issued an ultimatum!

”Yes, yes, yes!”

The CEO wiped cold sweat, nodding quickly.

”Why aren’t you scramming!”

Black Rose roared once more!

The CEO fled in embarrassment.

Actually, there were words the CEO didn’t dare say out loud—it’s not just technological issues, but mainly the employees’ mentality.

They’re all loafing.

At this rate, forget three days; let them loaf for three years even!

Seems like brute force is necessary!

Black Rose looked at the map in front of her, Lu Xiaobu’s influence expanding, while theirs shrinking, almost biting through her silver teeth!

She had said before that she’d excel at reversing unfavorable situations!

But today’s situation left her feeling suffocated and at a loss!

”Manager Xue, Mr. Xia called you.”

The secretary cautiously said at the door.

”Tell them to get lost!”

Black Rose roared: ”I haven’t lost yet! Not their place to interfere, tell them to shut up or come themselves!”

It’s obvious what Xia Jie’s call meant.

An inquiry about the situation!

”Yes!”

The secretary cautiously left!

At this point, no one wants to touch bad luck!

Even a close associate of Black Rose wouldn’t want to get involved.

...

Elsewhere.

Xia Jie and Zhan Longyan, along with twenty-one wealthy investors, waited anxiously!

Before the year ended, they were all high-spirited, planning grandeur!

But just after the New Year, they were restless and uneasy!

Soon, Xia Jie received the secretary’s response.

He fell into silence, unsure how to reply.

”Mr. Xia! What’s going on?!”

”Yes! Mr. Xia, what did Black Rose say?!”

”Have you figured out how to counter Lu Xiaobu?!”

”Yeah! Speak up!”

”We’ve each invested fifty billion! It’s normal for you, but for us, it’s a massive hit!”

”If things aren’t going well, at least tell us, let us plan accordingly!”

”...”

This moment, the place was as noisy as a market, hardly believable that it housed billionaires here!

”Everyone quiet down!”

Xia Jie took a deep breath and decided to speak.

He pondered.

”Black Rose said she’s not losing; she might have a plan.”

Xia Jie finally said.

He deliberately distorted Black Rose’s words to reassure everyone.

After all, he doesn’t want to see things crumble on their own!

That would be too embarrassing!

Hearing Xia Jie’s words, the crowd was visibly skeptical.

”A plan? But I don’t see it!”

”Yeah! I don’t see it either!”

”Moreover, if there’s really a plan, why were you silent?!”

”...”

A torrent of questions came forth.

Xia Jie frowned: ”Why don’t you ask yourselves! Really!”

Then he stood and left.

But he gave Zhan Longyan a look, signaling him to leave with him!

The remaining wealthy investors stared at Xia Jie’s departing figure with complicated expressions.

Many may have already guessed.

But lacking confirmation, they couldn’t be the first to step out, lest they get blamed!

A responsibility over a thousand billion is too much to bear!

As for Xia Jie letting them ask themselves?!

That’s nonsense!

Black Rose isn’t just Black Rose; she’s part of Imperial’s four great families!

They don’t have the qualifications to question her.

Even given Black Rose’s current situation.

Thus!

”Sigh!”

A long sigh was heard in the meeting room!
