The next morning, the rain that had been pouring down on Riverdale City finally stopped. Leaving behind the scent of wet earth and cold air that pierced through to the hallway of Apex Tower's executive floor. At seven in the morning, the office was still very quiet. Julian was already in the VIP medical room located in the right wing of the upper floor. The room was designed to resemble a five-star hotel room, complete with velvet sofas, warm lighting, and large windows facing directly toward the city's business center. Julian stepped in carrying a tray with warm chicken porridge and a glass of honey milk. As soon as the door opened, he saw that Elena Thorne was already awake.

After making sure Elena finished her porridge and went back to rest under the medical team's observation, Julian walked back to his office. His mind was no longer focused on the jealousy drama earlier, but on the row of digital numbers on the System dashboard. For him, the conflict between Chloe and Elena was the perfect driver to perfect his new plan: the total destruction of Tengda Corp's cash.As soon as Julian opened his office door, he saw Chloe standing near the marble desk. The girl was no longer crying, but her facial expression was very cold. She flipped through the draft pages of the Tengda Experience Center project a bit roughly."I've put together an initial analysis with the financial team," Chloe said without looking back. Her voice sounded stiff and full of pride, typical of her spoiled style when she was sulking. "Building free internet cafes in Riverdale's three biggest malls will cost three million dollars in rent and decoration. Buying five hundred military-spec PC u

The decision had been made. That night, Julian Vance sat alone in his high-backed chair on the top floor of Apex Tower. Through the large glass window, he gazed at the lights of Riverdale City. On his computer screen, the budget draft for the Tengda Experience Center that Chloe and Elena had just debated was approved at the ten million dollar figure.However, Julian realized that simply letting the two women compete was not safe enough. Chloe's perfectionist nature and Elena's sense of indebtedness could accidentally give birth to new financial success. Moreover, the System in his head continuously displayed user growth data for T-Store that refused to drop."I need an emergency brake," Julian muttered while massaging his temples. "A physical project this big won't fail if it's managed by competent people like Harry or Chloe. To spend these ten million dollars down to the last penny, I need an insider. I need professional destroyers."A crazy idea suddenly popped into his head. His smi

After successfully placing Benson the chronic lazybones as General Manager of Operations, and Hendrik the gambler in the procurement line directly intersecting with Elena's logistics division, Julian did not rest on his laurels just yet. A cunning smile still lingered on his face as he opened the third red folder on the desk."I've already planted time bombs in the logistics route and the construction schedule," Julian thought, his fingers tapping the desk cheerfully. "Now, it's time to poison Chloe's domain. Her Front-End division, Cafe Management, and Customer Relations (Customer Service) are way too neat. Chloe is aiming for five-star standards and Italian marble to attract Riverdale's elite. If I let her staff work with luxury hotel standards, that free cafe might just turn into the most popular hangout spot and raise Tengda's reputation to a dangerous level!"To destroy Chloe's five-star dreams, Julian needed someone who could ruin that friendly and exclusive atmosphere in a spli

One week after the recruitment of the destruction trio, the Tengda Experience Center project at Grand Riverdale Mall officially began. This area was the core of the Front-End Division led by Chloe Sterling. With a budget of six million dollars, Chloe intended to build an Italian marble-lined entertainment center to attract Riverdale's elite.However, behind Chloe's ambition, Julian's two time bombs were ready to explode: Benson the chronic lazybones in the position of General Manager of Operations, and Frank the drunkard as Head of Cafe Management.At two in the afternoon, Chloe arrived at the project site. As soon as she passed the project barrier, she immediately frowned.The atmosphere in the thousand-square-meter area was very quiet. There was no sound of cutting machines, hammer knocks, or construction worker activity. In the middle of the dusty room, an old sofa lay near a pile of cement.On that sofa, Benson was sleeping flat on his back with a construction helmet covering his
