Chapter 114 Take a day off
After Benjamin and Cassius made a hasty exit, Elbert and Alvin stood on the rooftop, looking into the distance. The gentle breeze brushed against their faces as they took in the view.
"Alvin, are you scared?" Elbert asked. "Declaring war on Meta Platforms Company could leave us bankrupt."
Alvin chuckled softly. "There is nothing to be afraid of! Life has its ups and downs. In the worst case, I'll go back to selling clothes!" Alvin shrugged, completely unconcerned.
"But Meta Platforms Company is a formidable opponent!" Alvin shaded his eyes with his hand, looking at the Meta Platforms Company helicopter, and laughed. "Otherwise, Jacob wouldn't have come personally."
As Alvin spoke, his expression turned serious. "Honestly, being able to go up against a big shot like Jacob, it's the thrill of a lifetime, win or lose. Excitement is what matters! Just saying it out loud is enough to bring honor to the family! My cousin back home would definitely think I'm bragging."
Elbert shook his head helplessly and patted Alvin on the shoulder. "This is nothing. There will be more exciting things to come. This is just the beginning. Who knows, Alvin, you might surpass Jacob someday!"
Alvin nodded thoughtfully, looked at Elbert, and said, "You know, you're right. The future is unpredictable. Maybe that day will come!"
Elbert shrugged.
Alvin continued. "So, what do we do next?"
"Take a rest!" Elbert thought for a moment. "Tell all the employees to take a day off tomorrow! We'll discuss further later!"
"What did you say?"
"I said, take the day off.!"
Alvin scratched his head. "Why does this feel like the last meal before execution?"
"Don't say such depressing things!" Elbert chided.
Watching the two chatting and laughing in the distance, the business management graduates blinked in disbelief, puzzled.
They realized what happened in front of them was real. Elbert was indeed the founder of Creator, which means he was Alvin's boss, the legendary Paul Three. He was wealthy, holding multiple patents, and was the real owner of the Creator Company.
That conversation on the rooftop left everyone in awe.
No one dared to step forward; they could only watch from afar.
They realized there was a gap in social status, an insurmountable chasm, between them and Elbert.
But in their view, Meta Platforms Company was unbeatable!
When they thought about Creator going up against Meta Platforms Company in a survival battle, they could only see Creator in ruins.
But this time, no one showed a mocking expression. There was only a look of awe. Elbert's vision and courage had completely won them over! Even if Elbert failed again, no one would dare to underestimate him!
This time, everyone understood without speaking. No one discussed Elbert Paul Three's identity. No one flattered him. They just came up to greet Elbert and Alvin one by one and quietly left.
Alvin left halfway, went downstairs to arrange the day off, then returned to the rooftop to sit quietly with Elbert. As the sun set, the two felt an immense peace. But online, a storm was brewing! In just a few hours, major headlines were updated.
[Emerging Company Creator declares war on Internet giant!]
[Showdown between two company heads on the rooftop ignites a fierce battle!]

[Rising star Gemini app faces a powerful opponent; destruction is the only outcome!]
[Online poll: Meta Platforms Company vs. Gemini app, which side do you support?]
[Can Meta Platforms Company's dominance be challenged?]
Among these news stories, they all featured a photo.
On the top floor of Skyrise Tower, three figures faced each other in the wind, with the shining Gemini app sign in the background. The photo, taken from a distance, showed only the silhouettes, not the faces.
Alvin and Jacob's personal histories were dug up again, and both gained quite a few supportive fans. But even combined, they didn't have as many fans as the mysterious Paul Three!
Surprisingly, all the classmates who knew Elbert's identity remained silent! No one leaked the information out of deep respect for Elbert!
Comments below the news increased by tens of thousands per second, roughly divided into two camps. Entrepreneurs with experience, deeply aware of Meta Platforms Company's power, sided with Meta Platforms Company, believing no one could beat such a giant!
The other camp was a large number of scattered netizens. They supported Gemini app, this creative software, hoping it could defeat Meta Platforms Company, break the internet monopoly, and bring more new products to the market!
These topics quickly became the hottest trend online, and the heat remained high.
People speculated about what moves the two sides would make next.
Looking at the news being pushed to his phone, Alvin was curious.
"Who took this photo? I don't remember any cameras here earlier?" he said.
Elbert smiled slightly. "I did."
