That

is our company's overall
plan for this project.

Thank you all for listening.

That was excellent.

Clear thinking, smooth logic,

solid creativity, and
great value for the cost.

After hearing all three,

this plan is the most appealing.

Very good.

Thank you to all three partners
for your careful and thorough preparation.

Since this is the group's
biggest project this year,

we invited all you senior executives
to present your bids in person.

Mr. Liu's plan is very comprehensive.

It basically covers every
detail from start to finish.

However,

I personally feel

it's slightly lacking in originality.

Ms. Li's proposal has
excellent creative ideas,

and even the slide deck
is beautifully done.

Just like Ms. Li herself,

it shows extraordinary taste.

The only pity

is that the price is a little high.

Lastly, although Mr. Zhao is young,

his presentation was effortlessly clear

and left a deep impression.

Moreover, he struck
a perfect balance between price and quality.

Oh,

this really is a difficult choice.

After careful consideration,

I believe quality can be
improved through management,

but aesthetic taste can't
be bought with money.

So even if it costs a little more,

I still want to choose the best taste.

Ms. Li,

we'll be counting on you
for the cooperation ahead.

Oh,

it's our honor.

Thank you, sir.

Thank you!

Aesthetic taste is just an empty idea.

You're handing out the project
for such a vague reason?

Isn't that too careless?

Were the rest of us just
here to make up the numbers?

Mr. Liu,

please calm down.

How could we invite you here
just to make up the numbers?

The CEO has his considerations.

Please understand.

Then can you explain the reason

in detail?

Mr. Liu,

are you questioning me?

That's right.

He is questioning you.

Who are you?

We're in an important meeting.

Is this the time for you
to come in and clean?

Get out!

I'm not just here to clean.

I'm also here to listen in.

Hello, Chairman!

Ch...

Chairman?

The mysterious top leader of the group,

the Chairman?

You're Mr. Zhao, right?

I listened very carefully

to your entire presentation.

Young and promising indeed.

You actually came up with a plan
that achieves the best of both worlds.

With the budget saved,

we can even hire Ms. Li's team

to help review the design.

Thank you for your support.

Personally,

I like choosing young people for projects.

Because they're young,

they still have many
chances to make mistakes.

People grow through making
mistakes again and again.

Thank you for your guidance.

I won't let you down.

I'll make the most of this opportunity.

Fantastic!

I never thought a power-fantasy plot

would happen to me one day.

The Chairman was right.

The greatest advantage of youth

is having more chances.

I never thought

a power-fantasy plot

would happen... - Call an ambulance!

To me. - Someone got run over!

How did a truck get into the office area?
- After that accident,

I came to this world.

Since I couldn't get what I
wanted in my original world,

I'll make sure I get it here.

I'll be reborn as the strongest tycoon,
rich enough to rival a nation.

Although I came to a region
with a poor economy,

in just over a year,

I've already gained control

of the food supply chain
between Districts Nine and Ten.

Of course, all this depends on

the one key element every
power-fantasy story needs.

A cheat.

No one is taking a single
bite out of what's mine.

Peeping skill,

activate.

Those people who suddenly started stealing my business
must be here.

Where did they get so much bread?

Lan, what's wrong with you today?

You got up so late.

Hey, Meow.

Are you done yet?

Looks like this man is in charge.

What is this guy doing?

Why is there so much
bread in the bathroom?

This is

so annoying!

One bathroom trip, and
I make this much bread!

Young people sure love
sitting on the toilet.

I'll go check on him.

Lan,

help move these out first.

I see.

So that's how they've been doing it.

Everyone, line up.

We'll come every day. - Thank you.

Those who came yesterday can
let the newcomers buy first.

Here you go.

This one is yours.

Young lady,

stop staying up so late.

Why do you all have such bad habits?

Just this once.

I'll sleep early tonight

and catch up on rest.

Friends,

we are a newly formed community
group from District Nine,

dedicated to helping everyone
fight for better welfare

and improve living conditions.

The truth is, whether in
District Ten or District Nine,

people are very hardworking.

We're only deprived of good resources

because we're far from the Royal City.

That's right.

The land here is actually pretty fertile.

We're not allowed to farm

and have to import everything.

So of course there isn't enough food.

That's why we need to stand together.

We founded this community group

because there is strength in numbers.

Only by uniting can we have a voice.

Please help spread the word

and bring more people together.

Are you planning to build a power base
just by handing out flyers?

That's only one part of it.

And don't forget,

our bread costs nothing to make.

So

even if we sell it cheap,

we can still build up wealth quickly.

Then what do you plan

to do with that money?

I want to buy something.

What?

You've all been fooled by them.

There's no such thing

as a free lunch.

They're selling bread to you

at far below market price.

How could there be no catch?

Something's wrong with the bread

they're selling.

You must be the famous Mr.
Liang from District Nine.

What brings you here in person today?

Where's that assistant of yours?

I stripped him for parts
and sold everything

for money.

You really will do anything for money.

No wonder the people around you
run the second things get dangerous.

Right back at you.

Didn't you also do

something heartless just
to steal my business?

How is selling bread heartless?

Young man,

we value integrity in business.

Selling cheap is just our strategy.

Mr. Liang,

we met a few times before

at the District Nine Central Kitchen.

I know you're a reasonable man.

Integrity?

You call making bread
with magic integrity?

Well?

Looks like I hit the mark.

Everyone, listen up.

This bread wasn't made from grain.

They made it with magic.

How did he know?

The reason the magic ban
was issued nationwide

is that mages once used magic to do evil.

Some even added magic to food,

turning rotten apples
into shiny red apples,

making shriveled meat
look plump and fresh,

and turning things that should
never be food into bread.

The bread they're selling

looks soft and tasty,

but it isn't made from flour at all.

As you all know, Districts
Nine and Ten have no farmland.

Wheat, the raw material for flour,

has to be transported from
farther-off District Six

or even District Five.

We work diligently every day

to transport grain for everyone.

We never supplied them
with any raw materials.

So how did they make bread?

That is a little strange.

I thought they were importing ingredients
from other districts too.

Even the ingredient supplier says
he never delivered anything to them.

Something's definitely off.

Today, I'm exposing
something even more shocking.

This bread is actually made from their

bodily waste!

You've got to be kidding me.

He's got it completely wrong!

I saw them use that filthy waste

and turn it into bread with magic.

A fake will always be a fake.

Taste it carefully.

Me?

Will you prove your value now

or after I take you apart?

No wonder the assistant threw up yesterday
after just two bites.

It reeks of poop!

Making bread from something so filthy

is unacceptable.

Cheap stuff really is no good.

Yeah.

My neighbor ate it yesterday

and had diarrhea today. - Smell it.

It does smell weird.

You can have someone test
what's in the bread.

If your magic can make
filth look like food,

of course it can fool a test too.

Darn it...

What?

You want to hit me?

You can't prove your innocence,

so now you want to use force?

You...!

I heard you were good at violence,

so I came prepared.

I asked the Guard here to uphold justice.

Great.

It's Aba.

He can help us out.

Please explain where this bread came from.

Why did this kid turn on us so fast?

He's not helping at all!

With everyone watching, he's
probably in a tough spot too.

Isn't this young man under
the Heart Hunt spell?

What happened?

Where did all that confidence go?

This is bad.

We really can't prove
where the bread came from.

I rushed it and overlooked that part.

Of course,

if you're willing to work with me,

I can give you a second chance.

You're young.

Even if you've made mistakes,
you still have chances.

And people grow by making
mistakes again and again.

We have a production line for our bread

using proper, fresh ingredients.

Don't make things up!

Where is it?

I didn't see it!

Come.

I'll show you.

How...

How is this possible?

I thought they were just
props piled up in the theater.

I never thought they'd hidden
production-line machines here.

But where did all these
grain ingredients come from?

Were these also created
with some kind of magic?

What's going on?

We have Lan to thank for this.

When we packed up yesterday,

she saw from behind that your legs

were shaking from exhaustion.

Hey...

She came to talk to me.

She said we couldn't
leave all the work to you,

and that we should find a
way to ease your burden.

So I went to Aba last night.

The moment he heard it was about you,

he agreed to help without hesitation.

Lan spent the night using magic
to take apart some theater props

and reassemble them into
production-line machines.

And Aba brought over lots
of grain and raw materials

from the Central Kitchen
warehouse in District Nine.

I had no idea

you stayed up all night because...

How can there be such a
wonderful girl in this world?

I didn't expect it to come in handy today

and prove everyone's innocence.

Just don't fall even harder for me.

Mr. Liang,

do you have any other questions?

As far as I can see, this
is fair competition.

If you have no more doubts, please leave.

Don't disrupt their legitimate business.

I'm supposed to be the
protagonist of this story.

So why is he benefiting
from the plot twist?

I heard from my men

that you caused quite a mix-up today.

Don't even mention it.

They didn't help at all,

and they ended up embarrassing me.

Enough.

I don't have time to waste energy
on something this trivial.

How is this trivial?

No matter how they're doing it,

if they can compete at prices that low,

our business is finished!

Who has time for business right now?

Mr. Long Ao gave me three days

to investigate.

Since those people are already a problem,

let's make their problem even bigger.

You've heard about the
monster called Xiong

locked in District Nine's
underground prison, right?

I heard someone wanted to release him.

Once he clashes with those people,

there will be real trouble.
