'Famous internet celebrity and investor Chen Yiyang is suspected of hiring someone to commit theft in Japan and has been summoned by local police.'

'Deepseek investor Chen Yiyang is under investigation in Japan for a criminal case.'

As the saying goes, good news doesn't go abroad, but bad news travels thousands of miles.

The Japanese media collectively reported on Chen Yiyang just one day later, and various domestic marketing accounts also started to repost relevant news.

After all, many people domestically tend to focus on events happening in Japan.

This time, seeing a relatively well-known domestic figure involved, naturally piqued their interest.

"Do we need any PR work in the country?" the junior accountant asked Chen Yiyang.

"No need." Chen Yiyang wasn't concerned with the domestic news.

Today, he received an invitation to attend a party.

If the invitation had come from Chinese people in Japan, he wouldn't have been surprised.

After all, he's somewhat famous in the country, and it's quite normal for many Chinese businesspeople in Japan to invite him for a meet-up.

But this time, the invitation wasn't from a Chinese person but a native Japanese, and a rather famous one at that.

Former Toyota prince, Toyota Osamu.

The incident involving Chen Yiyang and theft happened yesterday, so this former Toyota prince probably isn't inviting him just because of the news for a feast fraught with danger.

Therefore, the invitation is safe.

Which makes it interesting.

Why would this former prince want to meet him?

But since Chen Yiyang can't leave the country now, he might as well take a look.

So Chen Yiyang took the junior accountant with him, changing into suitable formal attire.

Arranged a car and bodyguards with the guide, and went to the location mentioned in the invitation.

Chen Yiyang is currently under close observation by several Japanese media outlets.

So as soon as he left, many media outlets followed him.

Then, those Japanese media watched as Chen Yiyang's car entered a mansion.

They immediately stopped following.

Because this mansion belongs to the Toyota Family.

The name Toyota is not unfamiliar to many.

Though most people only know Toyota as a car manufacturer, the Toyota brand is quite famous.

However, Toyota cars are just a part of the Toyota Group.

The entire Toyota Group consists of 17 companies, including automotive, textiles, energy, housing, steel, and more, making it a comprehensive giant.

The name Toyota originates from the founder of the Toyota Group, Toyota Kiichiro.

Though there have been eleven presidents since Toyota, the Toyota Group's ownership has always been firmly in the hands of the Toyota Family.

Toyota Osamu is the sole heir of the eleventh president of the Toyota Family.

Hence, he was once called the Toyota prince.

Of course, now he is referred to as the former Toyota prince.

The reason for the prefix is not because he became the president, but because his father passed away, and the new Toyota Group president is from another family, not the Toyota Family.

"Hello, Mr. Toyota." Upon entering the Toyota Family's mansion, Chen Yiyang was greeted by Toyota Osamu.

Initially, Chen Yiyang thought there would be many people at today's gathering, and he would be just one of many guests invited.

But unexpectedly, the only guests at the Toyota Family mansion were him and the junior accountant.

And their hosts were Toyota Osamu himself and his wife.

"You're too kind, just call me Toyota-kun." Toyota Osamu appeared very easygoing with Chen Yiyang, insisting on being called Toyota-kun.

The term "kun" is generally used among peers and juniors.

Since Chen Yiyang and Toyota Osamu are quite close in age, such a form of address is acceptable.

"The reason I invited you to my home this time is because we have a mutual good friend." Toyota Osamu took the initiative to explain the reason for inviting Chen Yiyang over.

"Who is it?" Chen Yiyang thought quickly but still couldn't recall having any friends who would know the sole heir of the Toyota Family.

Consider that the Toyota Group's market value is as high as two hundred billion US Dollars.

Although the Toyota Group is no longer managed by the Toyota Family, they still hold a significant share of it.

Having relationships with such figures made Chen Yiyang puzzled for a moment.

"It's Mr. Schaefer." Toyota Osamu quickly solved the mystery for Chen Yiyang.

Schaefer now has such a wide network?

Chen Yiyang was indeed surprised that Schaefer, this broker, could know people from the Toyota Family.

However, considering the background of large Europe and America companies behind the Toyota Group, it is not impossible.

Once Toyota Osamu mentioned Schaefer's name, Chen Yiyang knew that Toyota Osamu probably wanted to discuss business rather than holding a simple party.

Chen Yiyang wasn't particularly concerned, but Toyota Osamu looked at the junior accountant by his side and asked, "Who might this be?"

"This is my female companion." Chen Yiyang briefly introduced the junior accountant's identity.

"My wife has recently taken an interest in flower arranging and hasn't found anyone suitable to share this art with. Could I let my wife demonstrate flower arranging art to your companion?" Toyota Osamu promptly suggested.

"Certainly, it would be an honor." Chen Yiyang understood that Toyota Osamu's subsequent conversation wasn't meant for others to hear.

Thus, he nodded in agreement.

Then Toyota Osamu's wife came over and took the junior accountant away.

Since he was at someone else's home, Chen Yiyang couldn't casually look around.

But a glance out of the corner of his eye let him glimpse Toyota Osamu's wife, who was also very famous in Japan, known as "Little Hepburn," the former female star of the Takarazuka Revue, Lan Tong.

Takarazuka Revue is Japan's most famous theater troupe. To get into this troupe, ordinary people must possess heavenly talent; otherwise, other entrants are inevitably wealthy.

Although Toyota Osamu's wife Hoshino Ranpo, known as Little Hepburn, does not come from a simple background. Her family background is quite extraordinary.

After all, someone of ordinary origins couldn't possibly have been classmates for fourteen years with Japanese Princess Kako at a school that charges one million yen in annual tuition.

Moreover, a former student from her previous Takarazuka Revue revealed that spending ten years there costs about one hundred million yen.

Yet despite being a woman with looks, family lineage, and talents, marrying Toyota Osamu stirred up quite a sensation.

The reason is simple: the Toyota Family has a tradition in which their heirs must marry someone from the Mitsui Clan.

The Mitsui Conglomerate is one of Japan's four major monopoly conglomerates.

In Japan, financial monopolies are exceedingly severe.

Any business needs a major conglomerate backing it; otherwise, it certainly won't thrive.

When the Toyota Family switched from textiles to manufacturing, it was through Mitsui Group's assistance.
