Chapter 488 Factory Manager Li, Is This How You Promote Me?

Looking at the teenager with the center-parted hairstyle on the screen, rhythmically shaking his shoulders while playing basketball.

The Great Leader found his breathing becoming incredibly heavy.

The fat on his cheeks twitched violently, and his already flushed complexion had now turned the color of liver.

The senior network engineers standing nearby, covered in cold sweat, all lowered their heads, not daring to even breathe loudly.

As the majestic The Black House, it had actually been nailed to the pillar of shame by a piece of wallpaper software from the Eastern Country, unable to even restore its standby screen.

This sense of humiliation, as if someone had stepped on his face, dealt a devastating blow to The Great Leader's self-esteem.

"Sanctions!"

The Great Leader gritted his teeth, squeezing the word out from between them.

He then suddenly straightened up, grabbed a signature pen from his desk, and slashed it across a blank document.

"Put this Eastern Country company that developed this rogue software directly on the sanctions list!"

"Notify The Pentagon immediately and execute this at once!"

Following this order, the administrative machinery within The Black House began running at high speed in the dead of night.

Time passed.

It was the morning of a new day.

Over in the Eastern Country, it was the morning rush hour.

Countless office workers were squeezed into the subway or sitting on buses, habitually taking out their phones to browse the morning news.

Then, a statement released overnight by the official The Pentagon, carrying a strong political tone, instantly dominated the headlines of all major news portals.

It was the latest updated list of Eastern Country military-industrial enterprises under sanctions.

On this list of strict sanctions, filled with high-tech and heavy industrial manufacturing giants, 370 Group was prominently listed.

With a single statement from The Pentagon, it was directly added to the Eastern Country military enterprise list.

Moreover, it was placed in the most conspicuous top position!

Why 370 Group?

The reason was simple: Little Chicken Wallpaper was one of the core products under 370 Group.

When the Netizens of the Eastern Country rubbed their sleepy eyes and saw this list, their first reaction was full of question marks.

Once this sanction statement was released, people looking at the familiar "370" logo in the screenshot initially thought it was a prank created by some bored marketing account to grab attention with photoshopped images.

After all, in the collective knowledge of all Eastern Country Netizens, 370 Group was just an internet company, having absolutely nothing to do with military enterprises or weapons manufacturing.

However, when various official media outlets also began to forward this news and confirmed its authenticity, the onlookers across the entire internet were stunned.

Major forums, Social Media Platform hot searches, and comment sections on bulletin boards were instantly flooded with a massive amount of messages.

"What's going on? 370 Group has become a military enterprise?"

"Did The Pentagon get some kind of shock? They won't even spare those who make antivirus software?"

Everyone was confused, completely unable to figure it out.

However, the internet is never short of well-connected insiders.

Before long, a jaw-dropping truth began to circulate online.

It turned out that Little Chicken Wallpaper had hacked into the Dead Corner Building!

"Hahaha, too funny. According to rumors, after the Dead Corner Building was hacked by Little Chicken Wallpaper, they frantically downloaded software. After they finally managed to uninstall it, they rested for a bit, only to turn their heads and see the screensaver had changed back to Little Chicken Wallpaper."

As soon as this leaked comment appeared, the entire internet was instantly filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

Countless office workers sitting in their offices drinking water sprayed it onto their screens upon seeing this message.

The imagery was simply too strong.

The highest military command center of the West.

That group of highly paid network engineers, who mastered the world's most cutting-edge hacker defense technology, had spent all their effort dealing with a cyber intrusion, only to look up and be greeted by a dynamic wallpaper of a center-parted teenager playing basketball.

Just thinking about such a scene made people feel breathless.

But that wasn't even the most explosive part.

More rumors began to circulate:

"I'm laughing so hard I'm honking like a goose. It's said that although the Dead Corner Building was hacked by Little Chicken Wallpaper, they didn't intend to announce it publicly, nor did they want to add the parent company of Little Chicken Wallpaper to the military enterprise list, since it was too embarrassing. However, after The Great Leader at The Black House learned about the situation, he didn't believe it and installed Little Chicken Wallpaper himself. Then, the entire The Black House started downloading Little Chicken Wallpaper. In the end, although they uninstalled the software that downloaded Little Chicken Wallpaper, they didn't uninstall the wallpaper itself. Everyone knows this Great Leader's personality, so he immediately ordered 370 to be added to the military enterprise list and made it public."

This rumor pushed the entire Eastern Country internet carnival to its peak.

Netizens were typing on their keyboards while laughing so hard they were doubled over, their stomachs hurting.

So, The Pentagon originally wanted to cover up this embarrassing incident.

But it all relied on that stubborn Great Leader who thought he was omnipotent... Hahaha.

This kind of drama, where someone refuses to believe it and insists on testing the poison themselves, only to flip the car and then get angry and impose sanctions, was a hundred times more exciting than the best comedy movie.

After several leaks, the internet had completely exploded.

"Holy crap, Little Chicken Wallpaper? Is it that awesome? It's practically the pride of domestic products; I must download it to support it."

"(Facepalm) To the one above, have you really not learned any lessons from this incident?"

Meanwhile, at the 370 Group building.

Morning.

In the office area of the Little Chicken Wallpaper division.

Sunlight streamed in through the blinds.

The staff member who had previously contacted Factory Director Li about business promotion was standing at the front of the conference room, full of high spirits.

He held a laser pointer, and next to him was a glowing projection screen.

On the screen was a data report showing a ninety-degree vertical climb.

At this moment, he was passionately explaining the overseas promotion strategy to their division boss and several core supervisors.

"Boss, look at this data!"

The staff member spoke with great enthusiasm, his eyes sparkling with infinite longing for the future.

"Factory Director Li's local promotion plan is simply amazing. We can completely change our strategy, abandon the domestic market share, and place our main battlefield directly in the defenseless overseas market!"

The division boss leaned back in his leather chair, nodding frequently as he looked at the gratifying growth curve.

The stone that had been hanging in his heart due to the threat of layoffs seemed to finally be able to land.

With this report card, not only would the department be saved, but the year-end bonus would definitely be substantial.

The entire conference room was filled with a cheerful atmosphere of impending promotions and salary raises.

However, just as this employee was preparing to turn to the next PPT slide to continue painting the blueprint for global dominance, several mobile phones on the conference table and the bottom right corner of everyone's computers in the room popped up news notifications almost at the same time.

A supervisor closest to a computer subconsciously glanced at the headline news that had just refreshed.

The next second, the smile on his face froze instantly.

The ballpoint pen in his hand dropped onto the desk with a "clatter."

"Bo... Boss..."

The supervisor pointed at the screen, his voice trembling, unable to even speak a complete sentence.

The division boss frowned, stood up, and leaned over to look at the screen.

As a result, he saw this news.

The official statement issued by The Pentagon, listing 370 Group as the number one target for sanctions, appeared before his eyes in black and white.

It clearly stated the reason for the sanctions: Little Chicken Wallpaper posed a great threat to national security.

The air went completely silent in that instant.

The temperature in the conference room seemed to drop by a dozen degrees.

The Little Chicken Wallpaper staff member was instantly stunned.

His hand holding the laser pointer froze in mid-air, his mouth slightly agape, staring blankly at the news.

His mind was filled with nothing but a buzzing roar.

What happened to them making Little Chicken Wallpaper bigger and stronger?

What happened to avoiding layoffs based on this proud performance?

Now, instead, they had directly paralyzed the West's The Black House and even triggered national-level sanctions!

"Factory Director Li, is this how you promote for me?"

Meanwhile, on Li Jiajun's side.

He woke up naturally, stretched, and then opened his phone to see this message sent by the Little Chicken Wallpaper staff member.
