Chapter 305: The Inverted Charity Challenge, Infiltrating the Enemy Ranks
On the third day after Gu Yu posted the video.
The weekend passed, and it was Monday.
In the incubator, Ideal Paradise.
Gu Yu walked into the company while eating a steamed bun and was surprised to see that the place was eerily empty; he swallowed the bun in his hand in one gulp.
Today was truly bizarre.
How come those Kings of Competition hadn't come to work early?
And what about the developers who lived at the office? Where were they?
"Chairman, good morning!"
Suddenly, Gu Yu heard a familiar voice greeting him from behind.
"Good morning, Kang Jia."
But all he saw was pairs of feet, with breakfasts like soy milk and deep-fried dough sticks hanging above them.
Looking down, he saw Kang Jia and the others
"???"
"Seriously, why are all of you crawling in backwards?"
Gu Yu quickly made way for everyone.
The crowd, under Gu Yu's puzzled gaze, stood on their hands and "walked" to their places.
"I mean, the company next door is just weak sauce, they couldn't handle crawling backward for ten meters, and getting free breakfast this morning felt just awesome."
"Hahaha, their boss stands like a barrel and lays like a barrel, can't move even a step!"
"If we have a handstand contest every morning, I think we can save all our breakfast money!"
"No way, my hands are too dirty, I need to wash them before eating."
One by one, people got up from the ground, rubbing their arms and legs as they laughingly discussed something that Gu Yu couldn't grasp.
Something about a handstand challenge, the boss next door resembling a barrel, not spending money on breakfast.
What in the world was all this about!
What had this group been hiding from him?
They hadn't collectively gone to rob the next-door company, had they?
Gu Yu quickly pulled aside an employee who was heading to the restroom to wash his hands: "Hold on, what were you guys just doing? Why did everyone enter the company walking on their hands?"
"Huh? Haven't you heard of the popular handstand challenge? Weren't you the one who started it, Chairman?"
The employee blinked blankly.
Gu Yu blinked blankly as well: "I started it?"
He suddenly remembered the handstand challenge while eating noodles that he had posted on Dou Ying a few days ago to complete a system task.
Hastily, he pulled out his smartphone from his pocket.
As soon as he opened Dou Ying.
"Handstand for Charity Challenge! Have you done your handstand today?"
A public welfare video sponsored by a famous sketch show began with a bang.
"Hey, handstands are good and splendid; frequent handstands keep you healthy. Have you done your handstand today?"
In the video, a celebrity kept the beat while wearing a joyful expression.
Watching the video with the look of an old man on the subway engrossed in his phone, Gu Yu opened the hot list on Dou Ying.
Boy oh boy, half of the list was filled with handstand challenges.
And the top keyword was himself!

"Does it have to be this outrageous? It was just a funny video! Why do netizens have to take it so seriously?!"
Gu Yu felt powerless to complain.
He had never expected that he could set off a handstand challenge trend online.
Glancing at his Dou Ying homepage.
Gu Yu found out that the number of likes on his handstand challenge video had already surpassed five million,
which meant that Ideal Paradise's newly established foundation had to allocate at least five million yuan for charity.
It would cost a lot of money, but Gu Yu was happy.
In a sense, this was the first significant contribution he had made to society since gaining the ability.
Unexpectedly, Gu Yu had planned to pay out of his own pocket, but when he tried to use the company account, the system did not stop him.
Meaning, the system also supported his approach.
The explanation was that the company spending money to establish a charity foundation was also for the company's development.
It could improve the company's reputation and establish a good corporate image.
So, this expenditure was also included in the company's budget.
For the first time, Gu Yu felt that the system had some conscience.
It wasn't so capitalistic after all.
Establishing a company charity foundation wasn't a small matter, especially since it was a very large extra expense.
This wasn't something Gu Yu could decide alone; he planned to wait for Yu Shutong and the others to return before discussing it with them.
Even though he was sure Yu Shutong and the others would not refuse, he didn't want the company to be a one-man show.
"So you just had a handstand competition with the company next door, and the losers had to buy breakfast for the winners?"
"That's actually a pretty good activity."
Gu Yu straightened out his thoughts a bit after hearing what Kang Jia and the others had said, and he roughly understood what had happened.
"Hahaha, Yu, you don't know how competitive that boss next door is. He couldn't even hold himself up but still insisted on competing with me."
"He didn't even walk a meter before rolling away like a ball for a long distance~"
A few of Gu Yu's juniors, even younger than him, enthusiastically shared the joys of the recent competition with him.
Gu Yu also laughed along. He knew the boss of the company next door was a very stout man.
They had met a few times, but he didn't expect the man to be so good-natured, willingly getting on the field to compete with everyone.
After all, such competitions were out of the question for some bosses who cared about their dignity.
Only a genial and approachable boss would be willing to take part.
Since they were willing to be friends with Ideal Paradise, Gu Yu naturally wouldn't snub their overtures.
"Looks like I need to pay a visit to that boss when I have time."
Gu Yu pondered for a moment.
Since moving into the incubator, Ideal Paradise seemed not to have interacted with other companies.
