The entire venue fell silent.
Qin Yexuan gestured to Anya. "Let's pause for a moment. Once they've finished unloading, confirm the welfare list and then make the announcement."
Anya nodded, no longer feeling afraid. With Chairman Qin by her side, she felt nothing was impossible.
At this moment, Zhu Xiaoqing, her face filled with confusion, turned around, searching for her secretary.
The secretary slowly approached.
"What did that young girl just say? Chairman Qin gave them what benefits? Why have the students stopped shouting and gone so quiet?"
The secretary sighed. "It's three game top-up cards... for a game popular with young people lately."
Zhu Xiaoqing, however, breathed a sigh of relief. "Oh, I thought it was something important. Just some intangible game top-up cards. Heh, what happened on the field scared me, but how can that compare to my real money?"
The secretary looked at her as if she were an idiot.
"What's with that look?" Zhu Xiaoqing was displeased.
The secretary's lips trembled, almost bursting into laughter.
He slowly explained, "That game is extremely popular, and Chairman Qin gave out three top-up cards, each worth 648."
Zhu Xiaoqing appeared even more foolish. "What's 648? A serial number?"
The secretary chuckled. "It's a top-up card worth 648 yuan!"
Zhu Xiaoqing gasped, then sneered. "I just gave out a thousand-yuan shopping voucher earlier..."
She still hadn't grasped the situation.
Meanwhile, the representatives and students below erupted in cheers.
Louder cheers than before.
Zhu Xiaoqing pricked up her ears, her face paling. "What are they cheering about?"
The secretary shook his head. "You still don't understand. That 648 yuan is also real money. Three cards are almost two thousand. You've already lost!"
Zhu Xiaoqing shook her head frantically. "I don't believe it, it's impossible. What can virtual game top-up cards do? He won't win."
Indeed, a female representative stood up. "Chairman Qin, on behalf of the girls, may I ask if the benefits can be exchanged for something else if we don't play that game?"
Qin Yexuan patted Anya. "You explain."
Anya quickly said, "Whether you play or not, the top-up cards are free. In addition, the benefits prepared for the girls are..."
She took out another list, even longer than the previous one.
"A set of Gucci cosmetics, choose any 2 Hermès handbags, select 4 out of 12 new Burberry women's clothing items..."
Before Anya could finish reading, the female representative's legs went weak, and she almost fainted.
She stammered, "No, impossible. Does Chairman Qin know how much a set of Gucci cosmetics costs?"
Anya scratched her head. "I didn't see the price. I'll check later."
She foolishly opened her phone, then let out a shriek. "29,999? Chairman Qin, are you crazy?"
Qin Yexuan rubbed his ears. "What are you shouting about?"
Anya almost fainted too. "There are at least sixty thousand girls in the entire school..."
Qin Yexuan hummed. "It's a corporate purchase, a brand collaboration. The price is very reasonable, not the counter price you found."
He became a little impatient. "Point the camera at the main field and display the benefits for the girls."
On the main field, spotlights were instantly illuminated.
Gucci, Hermès, Burberry, Fendi...
From clothes, shoes, handbags, to jewelry, perfumes, cosmetics, makeup...
The largest girls' dormitory building at Chaoge Academy, the Mid-State First Princess Hall, which housed at least twenty thousand girls, let out shrieks that could pierce the clouds.
Qin Yexuan hurriedly circulated his spiritual energy to protect his ears.
He frowned. Did I go a bit overboard?
Just then, the male representatives rushed forward in exasperation. "Chairman Qin, what about us? Our stuff isn't as valuable as the girls'!"
Dozens of male students, representing different institutions, had all rushed forward.
Zhu Xiaoqing stood there stiffly, her lips trembling as she tried to say something, but was pushed aside by a few boys, almost falling off the stage in her embarrassment.
Qin Yexuan coldly commanded, "All of you, go back!"
At this moment, even without his usual imposing aura, he now possessed power. It was the power of money!
The boys retreated sheepishly, their faces full of anticipation.
Anya's hands trembled as she took out the third welfare list. After a glance, she didn't know how to read it.
Sun Qinglu gently took it from her, held up the microphone, and announced, "Choose any PS game console, pre-loaded games for all platforms, choose four out of ten Switch game consoles... Xbox, VR headsets... the entire Alienware series, Apple x-class servers, men's watches, same-brand clothing for the girls, and each boy will receive a game pre-charged account..."
He paused after reading this part, then continued, "The accounts will be adjusted based on the girls' benefits. The value of what they receive will be fully compensated to you!"
This was Sun Qinglu's own decision.
As the current "Richest Man in Chaoge," he had the means.
Making his own adjustments to the benefits, Sun Qinglu looked at his master.
Qin Yexuan was pleased. "You and Anya should handle these matters. Use your best judgment."
Sun Qinglu smiled slightly and raised the microphone again. "Chairman Qin is adding more benefits for the boys. The game top-up cards will be not 648, not 6480, but 64,800! Additionally, Chairman Qin will be adding a batch of men's watches, and 4090-class graphics cards, take them as you please!"
Hooray!
The entire venue roared with excitement, almost lifting the ceiling.
Chaoge Academy descended into absolute madness.
The welfare items on the main field were piled high like mountains. The complex distribution process below was estimated to take three days to complete.
The situation was settled!
In a corner, Zhu Xiaoqing squeezed through the crowd, looking dishevelled.
"Secretary, where's the secretary?!" she shrieked, stomping her feet in impotent rage.
Over there, the secretary finally appeared, pulling a large cart piled high with items.
Computer game consoles, mobile phones, watches, game cards...
"You, you!" Zhu Xiaoqing almost spat out blood.
The secretary grinned. "Dean Zhu, I apologize. I'm resigning. Don't blame me, just blame him for giving too much!"
Zhu Xiaoqing's eyes rolled back. Now it was her turn to faint.
She had truly, utterly lost.
At this moment, there was no need to look at the voting or the students' choices.
Everyone in the school, including the teachers and staff who had been loyal to Dean Zhu just moments ago, had gone wild.
Qin Yexuan's benefits for the faculty were blunt and direct.
"Ten times the salary, ten times the benefits, ten times the bonuses, ten times the substitute teaching fees, ten times all subsidies!"
"Furthermore, for all the students' benefits, if you faculty members stay, you will receive double!"
"As for the former dean, I will give him a house, two cars, and a 300 million retirement fund! He will be specially appointed as our academy's honorary dean, with all benefits the same as yours, all ten times!"
These three sentences alone stunned the fence-sitters.
Qin Yexuan slowly stepped down from the podium, and as expected, the decision passed unanimously, and he officially took over Chaoge Academy!
He walked towards Zhu Xiaoqing, the woman who had lost everything in an instant...
