TENGDA CORP: PLEASE LET ME GO BANKRUPT!

CHAPTER 10: Internal Disruption Operation

Julian could not sleep soundly that night. The thought of the network team's 40% data compression system kept running through his mind. If left alone, those overly smart staff of his would make T-Store's operations extremely economical and efficient.

"I have to act," Julian muttered while looking in the mirror in his office very early in the morning. "If I can't order them to directly damage the servers, I will ruin their work focus from the inside."

Julian immediately drew up an internal disruption plan that he deemed very fitting. His strategy was to distract the staff so that they would be too busy having fun and forget to optimize the server system.

The first tactic started at ten o'clock in the morning. Julian summoned the entire network and developer team to the main recreation room. There, three professional yoga instructors were already standing, complete with colorful mats.

"Starting today," Julian announced with a feigned serious face, "your mental and physical health is Tengda Corp's top priority. Every two hours, all activities in front of the computer must be stopped. All of you must do meditation and yoga stretching for forty-five minutes. Anyone whose fingers are still touching a keyboard during meditation hour will have their bonus cut!"

Harry was astonished, as were the other network technicians. "But Boss, we are in the middle of global T-Store server stability testing for the launch the day after tomorrow—"

"No buts, Harry!" Julian cut in firmly. "Your health is non-negotiable. Now, everyone take your respective mat positions."

Julian smiled with satisfaction in the corner of the room seeing the technicians forced to sit cross-legged, close their eyes, and listen to slow flute relaxation music. 'Good. Sit there for an hour. Let your servers experience minor glitches from being unsupervised,' Julian cheered inwardly.

However, Julian underestimated the effects of meditation. After being forced to relax for forty-five minutes, the technicians' minds instead became much clearer and their stress disappeared. As soon as the meditation hour ended, they returned to their computers refreshed, and their code-typing speed actually doubled because their bodies were fit.

Seeing his first tactic fail, Julian immediately launched the second tactic in the afternoon. He ordered thirty units of the latest game consoles along with the highest-spec Virtual Reality (VR) glasses on the market and placed them right in the hallway leading to the server room.

Julian even called several senior staff members. "I just bought the latest racing and shooting games. I challenge anyone in this division to beat my high score. Whoever wins against me will get a $500 cash bonus this very afternoon!"

The office hallway instantly became chaotic. Hearing the word bonus and a challenge from the boss, the young staff who were initially focused on monitoring the network immediately left their desks. The room suddenly turned into a noisy game tournament arena with shouts and laughter.

Julian deliberately joined in playing, laughed loudly, and prolonged the duration of the games so that their work time would be wasted. He glanced at the wall clock with a victorious feeling. 'Perfect. The servers have been left unattended without new code for three hours. My disruption plan worked.'

However, amidst the bustle of the tournament, Harry, who did not join the games, actually stood in the corner of the room holding his notebook. He stared at Julian, who was engrossed in playing with the staff, with full admiration.

Chloe Sterling, who happened to just arrive at the office to bring afternoon snacks, stood beside Harry. She looked at Julian who was laughing freely with his employees.

"Harry," Chloe called while crossing her arms over her chest, smiling at the situation. "Why is your boss instead inviting everyone to play games when the launch is only two days away?"

Harry whispered in a respectful tone. "Miss Chloe... Boss Julian's vision is truly beyond expectations. He deliberately created this relaxed situation through a game tournament. He knows our network team is very tense facing the global launch. By forcing us to play and laugh, he is training our mental readiness so that we don't collapse on launch day later. He is willing to lower his prestige as a boss to protect his employees' psychology."

Chloe was stunned. She stared at Julian, who was shouting excitedly because he lost playing a game on the television screen. Her heart beat fast. 'Julian... you even think about your employees' mental health to this extent? You are truly caring and unpredictable,' Chloe thought, her face reddening because of the increasingly piling misunderstandings.

Exactly at three o'clock in the afternoon, the office dismissal bell rang. According to Julian's absolute rule, the entire office computer system automatically shut down centrally so that no one could work overtime.

Julian took off his VR glasses with a very satisfied feeling. Today, his staff only worked effectively for less than two hours due to the yoga interruption, luxurious lunch, and the game tournament he had designed.

"Good job for today, everyone! Now please go home and enjoy your evening!" Julian exclaimed while waving his hand. In his heart, he laughed with satisfaction. 'With messy preparations and minimal supervision like this, the global T-Store the day after tomorrow is guaranteed to experience massive glitches because the servers aren't ready! My cash will definitely burst!'

Julian walked back to his workspace with a relaxed step, unaware that Harry and the entire network team were secretly exchanging meaningful looks in the corridor.

Harry nodded slowly toward the technicians, then whispered firmly, "You heard it yourselves, right? The Boss has given everything for us today. Now, it's time for us to execute our secret plan tonight from our respective homes."

The technicians smiled widely, ready to deliver the biggest surprise that Julian completely did not expect on launch day later.
