Kale has, for all intents and purposes, won. 808 fails to free Chai from SPECTRA's control, and Kale makes good on what he said about using Chai as his pawn.
Now working for Vandelay Technologies as the ambassador for Project Armstrong, Chai lives a tightly scheduled life. Not only does he do marketing-related things, he's essentially a jack of all trades, doing numerous different tasks all over the island. Project Armstrong is an even bigger success than before with Chai spearheading it. The profits are rolling in. In the end, it all went (relatively) according to plan.
How long will that last, though? After all, there's still opposition left on the island.
