In Yang Chengru's apartment.

Chen Yiyang held a water cup and locked eyes with Yang Chengru.

"Actually, being an arms dealer isn't bad at all, nowadays people with skills and connections are valued from above.

If you can make sure nothing goes wrong, maybe you can eventually land safely."

"Coincidence, it's all coincidence!" Chen Yiyang tapped the table with his fingers, striving to prove it was pure coincidence this time.

But Yang Chengru acted like he didn't hear him, continuing on his own, "I have quite a few elders working in some military enterprises, they have products and licenses for international export, but it's hard to find clients, why don't you specialize in this kind of business?"

"No, no, I don't want to become an international fugitive one day." Chen Yiyang quickly waved his hands in refusal.

"Haha, just kidding, look how scared you are." Yang Chengru laughed when he heard Chen Yiyang's straightforward refusal.

Being an arms dealer is not a job for everyone.

The protagonist in the movie "Lord of War", if he wasn't an American, he would've died countless times.

And even if you were extremely cautious and never made a mistake, once your supporter falls, you're not far from prison.

Your supporter's political enemies will definitely kill you first and send someone else to take over your business.

"But this transaction shouldn't have any issues, I'll call the drone company's boss and have him talk to those South Koreans."

"That works." Chen Yiyang didn't mind much and didn't mention anything about shares.

He helped find the order this time purely by luck, once this order is finished, it would be pointless to discuss shares if he can't find another one.

"Let's consider this a favor I owe you. But I suggest you shouldn't get involved anymore afterwards.

If what that South Korean says is true, this matter is bound to get exposed sooner or later. Once your name is associated with it, an investigation could be inevitable."

"I'll take your word for it." Chen Yiyang trusted Yang Chengru's judgment in this matter.

Leaders in the system can be sloppy about other things, but are extremely cautious about anything with risk of blame.

"The political scene in South Korea is pretty chaotic. It's not like many other countries where there's a mutual understanding on what should or shouldn't be exposed.

In South Korea, apart from matters between men and women being off-limits, everything else can be exposed. So it's best not to get involved."

"Got it." Chen Yiyang nodded.

The next day at noon.

Chen Yiyang just scored a small victory by acquiring five Song Dynasty tiger bone toothbrushes at a local stall.

Wu Changxun, the head of Tengxu Entertainment Department, called him, saying he had arrived in Lin'an and wanted to meet Chen Yiyang for a meal.

Alright then, let's meet.

Chen Yiyang was somewhat interested in this current head of the Tengxu Entertainment Department.

"What have you been busy with lately?" Wu Changxun asked casually while seriously cutting his steak at the table.

"I've been doing international arms business recently."

"Oh." Wu Changxun was momentarily stunned, then continued, "Which country's goods?"

"Initially it was Russian and Ukrainian, but recently there's been an order from the South Korean military."

"You must be doing quite a large scale of business then." Though Wu Changxun's tone didn't change, his cutlery had stopped.

A few minutes later, he couldn't help it and said directly, "It's good that you young people like to joke around, it helps maintain a good mood. Unlike me, just living feels dull."

Believe it or not.

Chen Yiyang secretly muttered to himself.

Eighty percent of what he just said was true, alright?

"I heard you invested a lot in single-player games, is it a passion of yours?"

"It is." Chen Yiyang replied, "I played a lot of domestic single-player games when I was young. But as I grew up, they became less accessible."

That sentence from Chen Yiyang was a hundred percent truth.

In his youth, he grew up playing domestic single-player games.

Things like Legend of Sword and Fairy, Heroes of the Three Kingdoms, Jin Yong's Wuxia stories, Heroes of the Martial World, and Xuan-Yuan Sword.

He could never get enough of them.

Back then, he fantasized if domestic single-player games could catch up with overseas ones when he grew up.

Turns out he grew up before domestic single-player games completely vanished.

Now, the only recognizable domestic single-player games are small-scale indie games with low production costs.

"I was actually part of Tengxu Game Department before." Wu Changxun said, "I was responsible for a project and promised my leader that the game would be a hit."

"And then?" Chen Yiyang curiously followed up.

"The game did become popular after release, but it didn't make money."

Calmly, Wu Changxun continued, "To my leader, a game that doesn't earn equals no game. So a person was parachuted into my position, adding lots of microtransaction elements to the game. Eventually, it flopped, and I left the game department."

Chen Yiyang didn't expect Wu Changxun had such a background.

Back then, was his leader Wang Chunyun? Chen Yiyang secretly mused.

No wonder he's always clashing with Wang Chunyun.

They're not only competitors but have grudges, it wouldn't make sense if they didn't go after each other.

"The main creators of the project I used to manage have since gone independent to make their own games.

They made a mobile game, it was of decent quality and earned some money. But they still want to make single-player games, and finish the project they left incomplete."

"So what's the trouble now?" Chen Yiyang knew Wu Changxun couldn't possibly have come just for a meal.

"They prepared to buy back the art copyright of the project and turn it into a single-player game. But since I'm not in the game department, it's difficult to maneuver and I've hit some snags."

"Just say whatever trouble you're in, and I'll see if I can help."

Chen Yiyang was quite interested in giving Wang Chunyun a beating. When Wang Chunyun suddenly interfered with Yang Jinlu's ranking issue last time, he hadn't even confronted him yet.

"Tengxu isn't short on money, so they definitely won't sell their game company's copyrights easily. This matter is very difficult, I've contacted many sides and finally found a workable solution."

Putting down his cutlery, Wu Changxun looked at Chen Yiyang and said, "I hope you can help by buying part of the Tail Product Meeting's equity from Tengxu."

Tail Product Meeting?

Chen Yiyang was indeed familiar with that name.

Tail Product Meeting is an online shopping platform. It differs from Taobao and Jingdong as it has very few independent merchants. The platform mainly sells surplus stock of various big-brand clothes, cosmetics, and bags.
