"Bigger than the lottery? What do you mean?" Everyone's interest was piqued instantly. "Our company must have offended someone!" Berenice said. "What?" "Offended who?" "Is it serious?" For these workers, their job was their only means of providing for their families. If the company suffered a setback because it had offended someone, the impact on them would be enormous. "We've offended the world's richest man, Zhang Menglong!" Berenice said, "None of you can let this slip, I called you here first because I trust you!" "Zhang Menglong? That Huaxia guy?" The group immediately lowered their voices. They were not unfamiliar with the name; it had appeared in the media just a few days ago, even capturing photos of his meeting with the Duber family, America's most powerful clan, who treated him with great respect. "You may not know this, but Mr. Zhang Menglong isn't just the world's richest man; he's also the chairman of Silicon Moonlight!" Berenice said. "He's the chairman of Silicon Moonlight?" "No wonder!" "Could it be that he's come to America this time to deal with us at Qualcomm Electronics?" As employees of Qualcomm Electronics, they might not understand some internal logics, but it was common knowledge within Qualcomm that one of its directors had tried to force Silicon Moonlight to stop selling high-end chips to Huaxia's interior. It was said that the director was humiliated by Zhang Menglong and kicked out of Silicon Moonlight's board of directors. The conflict between Qualcomm Electronics and Silicon Moonlight could almost be described as irreconcilable! If it were the Silicon Moonlight of the past, that would be one thing; after all, they couldn't produce Crystal Chips themselves, and without the supply from Qualcomm Electronics, the company was practically doomed, so a broken relationship wouldn't matter. But with Zhang Menglong taking over as chairman of Silicon Moonlight and even claiming that he would conduct his own R&D, it was a completely different story. Anyone in the world who knew of Zhang Menglong was aware how rich he was, a sum that remains unknown to this day! "That's right, he's come to deal with Qualcomm Electronics!" Berenice said, "But this is an opportunity for us!" "Our opportunity?" "Exactly!" Berenice said, "Mr. Zhang Menglong just approached me, hoping I could help him with a task." Berenice roughly recounted his recent conversation with Zhang Menglong, of course, deliberately omitting some details about the compensation. The next morning, a piece of gossip gradually spread among the employees, and naturally, Brenner was the one who spread it. But seeing is believing, most people thought the reliability of this news wasn't high, so they didn't pay too much attention to it. However, in the workforce, there are always some people who delve into matters too deeply, and some of them started inquiring about the salary and benefits of nearby enterprises through their own connections. And to their astonishment, the results they got were exactly the same as those being circulated within the company! The employees of Qualcomm Electronics, doing some of the highest content work and creating the most profit for the company, were receiving the lowest wages in the whole town! Instantly, the crowd was seething with anger! "No way!" A union member suddenly put down his work, "Why should we endure such exploitation? We should demand a raise from the company!" Everyone was thinking the same thing in their hearts, but as an old Chinese saying goes: the gun shoots the bird that sticks its head out, and no one wanted to be that bird.

Why should we put up with this kind of injustice?" "A friend and I came to Silicon Valley Town together, I went through several rounds of interviews to get this job, working overtime almost every day, while he just took an ordinary job, leaving on time every day, and now he makes 1000 more US Dollars a month than I do! Why?" "The company must have faked their profits! All that money must have gone to the shareholders!" "We need to protest against the company!" "Exactly! We can't be submissive lambs, or else the company's exploitation of us will only get worse." "We need a representative to negotiate with the company on our behalf!" "Who's willing to go?" "Don't we have a union? Let the union people do it!" Suddenly, dozens of eyes focused on Brenner, who was silently working among the crowd. "Brenner, you're the President of the Qualcomm Electronics Union, you should represent us and talk to the company!" "That's right! We all support you! With us behind you, the company wouldn't dare do anything to you. You just need to speak out for all of us!" Amidst the clamor of the crowd, Brenner revealed a profound smile, but he quickly suppressed it. With an exceedingly noble tone, Brenner said, "Since everyone trusts me, as the President, it is my duty!"
