Chapter 362
Okay, they won the lawsuit but didn't agree with the verdict, so the matter has been dragging on.
As public opinion intensified, the financial tycoons were forced to compromise once again; they had no choice. People began boycotting the products of the corresponding families, launching various reputational attacks, and some even vandalized physical and digital stores...
Even after being arrested, they still impulsively smashed things, showing that some people have truly been bewitched to the point of losing their rationality.
But when they tried to return the goods, they were stunned to find that they were gone!
"What! What are you doing? How could so many goods have disappeared!"
The subordinate cautiously said, "The news just came in that the place was robbed, and the other side locked up the manager and cut off the communication equipment, which is why the news is only being sent out now."
Mercenary groups and space pirates are very clever; after looting, they clean up their tracks, trying to delay the enemy's discovery as long as possible. The later, the better, so they can steal even more.
Then the subordinate brought more bad news: "In some areas, robbers have also taken our belongings along the way."
Unlike the other two robbers, the space pirates had no reason not to take everything they saw that was valuable. So they simply grabbed whatever was near Qingfengyi's goods; after all, why leave it there?
The bigwigs nearly fainted after hearing this.
"What do you mean 'just taking our things'?! It's all my stuff! Ahhhhh, go find it right now!"
They previously told the public they would compensate Qingfengyi out of their own pockets, and now they really are. What's worse, they're not just refusing to compensate, they're dragging this out for who knows how long.
After finishing her lawsuit, Lin Qiaoqiao suddenly noticed that fewer and fewer big shots were showing up at the courtroom, creating an eerie atmosphere. The opposing lawyer stopped mentioning compensation, resorting to delaying tactics and silence altogether.
The lawyer is also at a loss. The employer said to delay as much as possible, but how can they delay?
They have solid evidence and their demands are reasonable, so why drag it out?
This is the first time I've ever seen someone hold someone else's goods, receive a very generous delivery fee, and then refuse to return them and even try to renege on the deal.
Their business practices are truly bizarre, leaving many ordinary people scratching their heads in bewilderment, prompting them to ask the fundamental question: "Don't they care about their reputation at all?"
"Yeah, who would dare do business with them in the future?"
"What does it matter? If Qingfengyi hadn't revealed it, who would have known?"
"They kicked a mech, hahaha, does your foot hurt, everyone?"
"I've always been curious about why these families are able to accumulate so much wealth. Why are most of us just ordinary people? Why are some people just ordinary kids no matter how hard they try, while others are extraordinary even as children?"
"That's a good question, but unfortunately there's no answer."
"Shouldn't everyone be focusing on their shamelessness? Don't try to reflect on the world!"
"Don't reflect on the world, because the world will only tell you to reflect on yourself, hahaha."
"Let us mourn for Qingfengyi. These goods are said to be worth eight hundred trillion, which is equivalent to them swallowing up two years' worth of military expenses."
"........"
"........"
.......
"You can't just say things like that."
The bigwigs are now obligated to pay compensation, no matter what. As netizens have said, the amount of goods Qingfengyi was forced to pay was so huge it was worth two years' worth of military spending. So paying them back really hurts, and while they were paying, they started internally criticizing their teammates.
"Whoever loses the goods should pay for them; I absolutely refuse to share the cost."
"Hahaha, hurry up and pay up. My family has already issued a statement saying that we did not undertake any cooperation with Qingfengyi. At most, we manipulated public opinion. Hahaha."
His gloating expression infuriated his teammates. "Don't go too far! We're on the same side. If you don't want to contribute now, don't expect too much later, or don't blame me for being impolite!"
"That's not a valid point. Are you trying to disband the alliance? It seems like Qingfengyi is still unsure how much he'll make from this deal. Why should we share the risks caused by your stupidity? With Lin Shuying dead, Qingfengyi's situation is uncertain, yet you're creating more risks for us. Are you out of your mind?"
……
Before the war ends, the spoils are divided. Before the old are dead, the family is scattered.
As the compensation gradually arrived, Lin Qiaoqiao distributed it among her partners who had stood with Qingfengyi in this instance.
"From now on, we'll walk this road together. I believe that as long as we work together with the same determination as we have this time, we can face any difficulty!"
In the video call, the partners were ecstatic; they had triumphed over capital!
Lin Qiaoqiao: "You will eventually grow into new assets, and I hope that many years from now, when you look back on this moment, you will not be ashamed of the determination you made at this time."
As for the items brought back by the space pirates, the military, and the mercenaries, Qingfeng accepted them, and the compensation he received from the lawsuit was just enough.
Soon, the update date for Qingfengyi Games' activities arrived. Following the military spending incident, the lawsuit, and the capital collapse, everyone with internet access was glued to their screens, eager to watch the drama unfold. How many events garnered nationwide attention?
The fact that the Grand Marshal succeeded to the throne didn't garner this much attention, even compared to the national chief election.
The Grand Marshal still remembered that Lin Shuying had asked him to pay attention to this event, and almost all the soldiers who had prepared for battle were waiting to see the Fengyi event update.
The update time for this event is set for noon, not midnight. The announcement was sent out five days ago, and no one at Qingfengyi Studio knows how it was sent out; nobody did it.
Zhang Zhongxia reported to Lin Qiaoqiao and asked if they should withdraw the report, but Lin Qiaoqiao said no.
Lin Shuying has already said that she doesn't need to worry too much about Qingfengyi anymore; she can just watch quietly. Since that's the case, then let's watch. The fact that others covet Qingfengyi chills Lin Qiaoqiao's heart; if they don't want it to work out, then they shouldn't. If Lin Shuying's plan is gentle, she'll deliver the finishing blow. Anyway, Lin Shuying said she can do whatever she wants, or she can choose to stand by and watch. The control key to the Qingfengyi game is in her hands; if it really doesn't work, shut it all down. If it's unplayable, then nobody should play. As for the offline business, disband it completely, cut off funding and technology, and let everyone go their own way.
For a behemoth like this, splitting up would be fatal. Didn't the big bosses want a peaceful and quiet life?
It's a mess; if you're interested, come and sweep it up yourself.
The event officially began, and a pop-up window appeared in front of all interstellar people on the holographic network:
Entering the Breeze/Not Entering the Breeze
Almost everyone chooses to go in; only a very small number of people choose not to.
Once inside, you can choose to be a visitor or a player.
The people were stunned. Wasn't it said that Qingfengyi only had one server and couldn't be played by people all over the galaxy?
Meanwhile, the Brain Research Center was in turmoil again; the Brain had gone out of control once more!
It actually shut down the holographic network and used most of its computing power and space to operate Qingfengyi?
In other words, the mainframe became Qingfengyi's server!
