After some discussion, the production team decided to have the two debate.
Yes, because after receiving the note, neither of them looked for anything. Both firmly believed they were exactly what the note described, and given the unusual circumstances, the production team thought it was a real eye-opener. So, they decided to have the two debate, and whoever could convince everyone that they were exactly as described on the note would win.
The referees were... two members of the Nineteenth Cultivation Group—but the fate of Naifei Tianxia remains unknown.
The three members of Ruoye's "spectator group" – although they were just there to watch, their speed kept getting them filmed by the production crew, and they were transported here by helicopter after the competition.
As stakeholders, members of the Jiu Yi group and Zhao Yunxian group were naturally ineligible to vote, and the host had originally intended to act as a referee. However, adding her would bring the total to six people, so it wasn't appropriate to grant her an additional 0.5 points of voting power.
So, in the final battle of the competition, the decisive battle that will decide the outcome of this long fight and the ownership of the sound card, the debate between Yu Xietian, the vampire capitalist, and Jiu Yi, the winner in life, has begun.
-
Because Jiu Yi's attack was extremely despicable, the production team unanimously agreed to let Yu Xietian attack first.
Yu Xietian came down, coughed twice, his eyes were bloodshot. As an honest man who was desperate for money, there was nothing he wouldn't say or do. Even when faced with the topic of winning and hanging a street lamp or losing and starving, he did not back down in the slightest. Instead, he said in a deep voice: "I am a vampire capitalist. I have committed countless crimes. Come, count my sins!"
"First of all, the work pressure in my company is enormous. There is no distinction between working hours and off-hours. When there is work, you have to go to work. The so-called 996 is bullshit. We work 007!"
"Secondly, I assigned my employees countless tasks that were difficult to complete!"
"I will keep a close eye on my employees every day, so they won't have any chance to rest or slack off!"
"I won't pay her salary! I won't give her bonuses! I won't pay her social insurance and housing fund contributions!"
"So, what do you think? Am I a top-tier vampire capitalist?!"
For Yu Xietian, whose cultural level was slightly higher than Ying Qin Guan's, but not by much, these words were already the most powerful he could muster. He knew he would be completely speechless in the face of such words.
However, Jiu was not surprised but delighted, and burst into laughter.
Ahe, standing to the side, said in a deep voice, "Why is the Dean laughing?"
Jiu Yi said calmly, "I laugh at Yu Xietian for his lack of conscience and Shen Xin for his shamelessness. If I were the boss, I would definitely squeeze every last drop of value out of Shen Xin. How can such a philanthropist be a vampire?"
Yu Xietian's eyes widened, and the veins on his neck bulged. "You're talking nonsense! I'm clearly a vampire!"
Jiu Yi shook his head and sighed, "The Yorozuya is truly a wonderful place. The flexible work schedule cultivates employees' ability to accept challenges, and the flat management structure allows experienced leaders to mentor inexperienced new employees face-to-face, preventing them from wasting their lives. As for the issue of not paying salaries..."
Jiu Yi paused for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "We are all adults. We all understand that free things are the most expensive. If Yu Xietian really doesn't pay salaries, why would the employees stay? Yu Xietian must have given something even more valuable in return!"
Yu Xietian was about to say something like, "You're talking nonsense, I didn't say anything," but Jiu Yi calmly looked over.
"Unless you say she's your father, since only parents can selflessly give to their children all the time. So even without a salary or other rewards, she keeps working. So, is she her?"
Yu Xietian was no match for Jiu Yi. Like a platypus whose beak had been pinched, he was speechless!
Oh no... how am I supposed to answer this?
Yu Xietian was unaware that he had already been raped by Jiu Yiluo. He thought that if he said yes, then Shenxin would become his father; if he said no, it would be tantamount to admitting that she had learned something from him.
But Jiu Yi didn't expect this crude method to keep Yu Xietian in the dark. He pressed his advantage and said, "It's obvious that you're not a vampire capitalist. On the contrary, your employees are the vampires... But I'm different. I'm a winner in life. Why? Let me explain!"
"First of all, I am twenty-five years old this year... Although my mom says I'm actually twenty-six, or maybe twenty-seven or twenty-eight, basically approaching thirty. But that doesn't matter. The fact is, I am twenty-five years old today, and at this age, I have already become the Dean of the Royal Academy!"
Jiu Yi slammed his fist on the table, his voice impassioned.
"Everyone! Do you even know how valuable a twenty-five-year-old Dean of the Imperial Academy is?!"
"Before me, there were six deans of the Imperial Academy. Among them, apart from me, the youngest, Mr. Zhou, was only forty-three years old when he became dean!"
"As the seventh head of the Imperial Household Agency, and the youngest of all its successors, it's not an exaggeration for me to say that I've accomplished something significant, is it?!"
"Now that I've talked about my position, let me talk about myself. I'm not very talented. I'm 1.8 meters tall and have an average appearance. I graduated second in the Royal Academy's Martial Arts Department. I once partnered with a Nephalem to save the Royal Academy. I don't smoke, drink occasionally, don't gamble or visit prostitutes, don't have frivolous relationships, and have no bad habits. I'm filial to my parents and respect my elders. The students at the Royal Academy all respect and love me. My annual income is decent. I'm willing to put every penny I earn on the table and explain its origin in detail. It's not an exaggeration to say that I'm a young and accomplished person."
"And then, regarding love, I recently confessed my feelings successfully, so I guess I have a partner now..."
"All things considered, I have achieved success in both love and career, and I am also very successful in being a person. I hereby declare myself a winner in life!"
"Who's in favor? Who's opposed?"
Jiu Yi shouted loudly, scanning the surroundings with unparalleled force. No one dared to meet his gaze, and even Yu Xietian was about to be defeated.
Just as everything seemed to be coming to a close, someone finally gave up and slammed their hand on the table, the loud noise drawing everyone's attention like a hero making his entrance.
"I! I fucking object!"
Chapter Seventeen: He's PUA Me!
There are team battles in this world, one type is initiated by the divine heart, and the other type is followed by the divine heart.
There's no group she wouldn't dare to lead, and no group she wouldn't dare to join! Now, seeing her beloved son being bullied by Jiu Yi, Shen Xin finally couldn't hold back and turned on him.
"Let me go! I'll talk to him!"
Shen Xin looked at the production team, who discussed it again and finally agreed. After all, Yu Xietian was completely powerless against Jiu Yi, offering no entertainment value whatsoever. Moreover, Jiu Yi's earlier sneak attack on Yu Xietian was... utterly despicable.
Facing the divine heart, Jiu also said that it would be a lie to say that he felt no pressure, but it would not be accurate to say that he was very afraid.
Because the questions we received were on completely different levels, I, Jiu, am a winner in life—that's an objective fact. No matter who you are, or from what angle you look at it, no one can refute that!
As for Yu Xietian... he claims to be a vampire, but he's basically a philanthropist.
Even a god could not withstand such pressure and kill himself!
Victory is about to be in my hands!
Jiu was confident... until Shenxin raised her little blackboard.
"I'll refute your points one by one."
"Don't think you can whitewash Yorozuya by using recruitment jargon! Flexible working hours? 007 is 007! The only flexibility is leaving work on time, not starting! There's absolutely no rest time, and the food is worse than a pig's. And what about your 'training'? I'll give you a workout, you know!"
Despite the relentless attacks from Shenxin, Jiu was no match for him, but still stubbornly insisted, "Everything has two sides. Although you work every day without rest, your boss got a new car. That's a blessing!"
"Just thinking about this guy makes me laugh!"
Shenxin raised the small blackboard again.
"I have no salary, not a single penny! They don't pay for my social insurance or housing fund, nothing at all. This isn't just being exploited; I'm practically doing charity!"
At this point, Jiu Yi suddenly felt more confident. He said in a deep voice, "I disagree with that statement. If you really didn't get anything from him, why would you work for him? Obviously, you gained something more valuable than money, such as work experience..."
Jiu had used this argument to repel Yu Xietian, but... it was only effective against Yu Xietian.
Shen Xin sneered and raised the small blackboard. The words written on it caused everyone's expression to change slightly.
"It's simple! Because he manipulated me!"
"I'm only sixteen, not yet an adult, and haven't developed a proper and mature set of values. Under these circumstances, this despicable, bloodsucking boss used his extensive experience to manipulate me. He told me that only he would hire an employee like me who knew nothing. If I left him, I wouldn't be able to find a paid job, let alone even get a meal of pig feed. So, even though I'm suffering like this, I have no choice but to work for him!"
Upon hearing these words, the expressions of many members of the production team who were unfamiliar with Yorozuya changed. They looked at Yu Xietian with condemnation. Not only did he illegally employ child laborers, but he also refused to pay them wages and used psychological manipulation. This was more than just exploiting people; it was practically skinning them alive and sucking out their marrow.
Yu Xietian: "..."
"You're talking nonsense!" Jiu Yi was furious. Even he couldn't stand these words anymore. "Yu Xietian is such an honest person. He would never do such a thing. When I ambushed him during my final sprint, he wasn't on guard at all before that. How could such an idiot who exposes his back to others possibly manipulate others? Don't go too far!"
Jiu Yi thought his words could salvage the situation a little. But Shen Xin... had completely anticipated his words, practically guessing his bank card PIN. After Jiu Yi finished reading what he had written on the blackboard, she immediately wrote something else on the blackboard. And as soon as Jiu Yi finished speaking, Shen Xin's counterattack began.
"This is a classic outsider stereotype, it's hilarious! I'm a victim! Do you know more than I do? Do you know how desperate a girl feels being manipulated by PUA (Pick-Up Artist) to be afraid to leave this 007 company with no salary and no benefits?"
Jiu Yi was very anxious, but there was no use in being anxious, and he was still anxious even though it was useless. He looked at Yu Xietian and shouted, "Yu Xietian, say something! Are you just going to stand by and watch her slander you like this? Tell everyone the truth!"
Yu Xietian slowly raised his head.
The production crew was whispering amongst themselves, and someone was making a phone call gesture. Yu Xietian suspected they were discussing whether or not to call the police.
On the Ruoye Group's side, Ruoye and Luoshui had both been in contact with him. The two of them looked surprised, as if to say, "I didn't expect you to be hiding so well, that you are such a hypocrite."
Zhao Yunxian put her hand to her forehead. Having dealt with the Yorozuya many times, she knew the truth. Trying hard to suppress a laugh, she said, "Actually, you don't need the sound card..."
Although Shijiu Xiu had little contact with the Yorozuya, she had worked in the criminal investigation industry for a period of time and could see through the truth at a glance without any reaction. As for Ye Qu, she was even more knowledgeable about Shen Xin. So, what was Yu Xietian's choice?
He took a deep breath.
The so-called Yorozuya (Odd Jobs Shop) means that you have to do everything in your power and at any cost to complete the client's request, and... if you fail to complete this job, you'll have to sleep under a bridge!
Therefore, Yu Xietian's choice is!
"What she said... is correct!"
Yu Xietian suddenly waved his hand and shouted, "A real man should dare to do what he does and take responsibility. That's right, I didn't pay her wages, I hired child labor, and I even used psychological manipulation on her to make her afraid to quit. I also exploited her labor. So what! Jiu Yi, you have nothing to say now!"
Jiu felt a chill run down his spine. This was a complete distortion of the truth; was there any justice or law left? Such a conspiracy...
He exhaled a breath of stale air, forcing himself to stay focused. His opponent might not be able to fool the judges. Besides, even if his false testimony temporarily got him through, so what? Even if he was a vampire, he was still a winner in life, far more convincing than his opponent in every way.
With this thought in mind, Jiu calmed down a bit and said in a deep voice, "In that case, let the judges decide. Let them say who has the better reason."
However, the small blackboard that Shenxin raised plunged his heart into despair.
"Oh...you have nothing more to say? But I have a lot more to say."
"Jiuyi...you're not a winner in life at all. Let me refute your previous statements point by point."
Chapter Eighteen: Still Daring to Bark and Howl in Front of Me
Shen Xin not only intends to solidify Yu Xietian's identity as a vampire capitalist, but also to shatter Jiu Yi's halo of being a winner in life!
Jiu Yi's pupils contracted as she realized Shen Xin's sinister intentions, but... could she do it?
On the Yorozuya side, they're all their own people, so it's one thing for them to collude and pass off fakes as real, but on her own side... how is she going to shatter her own halo of being a winner in life?
Shenxin didn't give Jiu Yi much time to think. He quickly picked up the small blackboard and began the first round of attack.
"First of all, let's talk about love. Everyone knows you confessed your feelings just a few hours ago and succeeded. You seem to think... you've already won at life."
"First, we need to clarify one point: the definition of a 'winner in life' differs for people of different ages. For example, Mr. Jiuyi, you mentioned love. But if a primary school student is exceptionally talented, from a wealthy family, and outstandingly good-looking, he can also be considered a winner in life. However, he doesn't need love. Mr. Jiuyi, you've blurred a concept. If you're seventeen or eighteen, or in your early twenties, finding an excellent girlfriend and saying you've had a great harvest in love makes you a winner in life, that's true. But how old are you?"
"Mr. Jiu Yi, you're twenty-five years old this year. What kind of age is twenty-five? Twenty-six by the lunar calendar, twenty-seven by the standard reckoning, almost thirty!"
"Others your age have already settled down, started a family, have a loving wife and mother, and have kind parents and filial children. What are you doing?"
"Oh my god, you actually found a girlfriend! Very good! Want me to give you an award to celebrate that you finally found a girlfriend? And you only managed to find one with the help of your teammates. And as far as I know, this girlfriend was arranged by your parents, right? No way, no one can't find a girlfriend on their own. So your elderly parents have to swallow their pride and act as matchmakers for their son, and then you shamelessly confess your feelings, and she reluctantly agrees, and you think you're a winner in life? No way!"
Shen Xin curled the corners of her lips, put one hand on her hip, and with an arrogant expression, gradually transformed into the shape of Ying Qin Guan.
"This is nothing more than an older, single person barely finding a glimmer of hope, yet you dare call yourself a winner in life? I say you're far from perfect when it comes to love. Who agrees? Who disagrees?"
Shen Xin truly lived up to his name; his set of fist techniques left people breathless. Unfortunately, Jiu Yi was, after all, a top student who graduated from the Imperial Academy, unlike other illiterate people who were easy to deal with. He then said in a deep voice, "Perhaps there are indeed some minor flaws in this aspect, but the best time to plant a tree was ten years ago, and the second best time is now. I have succeeded now, so what's wrong with that?"
"Hmph...you don't need to jump to conclusions so quickly. It's ridiculous, like some little kid in elementary school who held hands and vowed to be together forever!"
Although Jiu Yi's explanation was good, Shen Xin's punch was delivered at a tricky angle, directly breaking through Jiu Yi's defense and making his expression much worse.
