Chapter 668: Secretary Cheng Summons Him Again

After comforting Cheng Xiao Xiao, Chen Yang had the bodyguards check the game studio in Sunshine Garden Community, to see if anyone was impersonating a shemale to scam Yu Wenlong's equipment.

He wasn't worried about the money or the game equipment; he was mainly concerned that the shemale would succumb to Yu Wenlong's financial offensive and expose the studio.

Following the clues, it was easy to find out that he was the mastermind behind this.

After confirming that it wasn't one of their own colluding with Yu Wenlong, Chen Yang simply had the two bodyguards stationed permanently at the studio.

Doing this allows him to issue orders to that side immediately, and furthermore, having his own people supervise gives him complete peace of mind.

However, Cheng Xiao Xiao wasn't completely placated by Chen Yang, and she turned around and went to complain to Cheng Hua.

The next morning, Chen Yang was summoned to the Provincial Party Committee Secretary's Office.

"Chen Yang, lately there's talk that you want to invest in the gaming industry; I'd like to hear your true thoughts." Cheng Hua didn't first bring up his niece's issue. Based on his experience, Chen Yang doesn't need to gamble the company's future just to guard against one Yu Wenlong.

Chen Yang didn't know what Cheng Xiao Xiao had said to the other party, so he could only be frank: "Secretary Cheng, our company is indeed laying out plans for the gaming industry. A few days ago we just reached a cooperation agreement with a game studio in Modu, preparing to jointly develop a racing game."

Cheng Hua, hearing that Chen Yang wanted to develop a racing game, laughed and said, "Our Xiao Xiao loves racing the most; you're not doing this just to please her, are you?"

Chen Yang replied, "I've also heard Miss Cheng say she likes racing, but this game really has little to do with her."

Then he said that the agency for Kart Rider had been rejected by the South Korean game company.

Cheng Hua, hearing this, laughed and comforted Chen Yang: "Each trade has its specialty; after all, that game company in Modu is professional, and when the conditions aren't vastly different, it's only natural for them to choose that company."

Chen Yang, dissatisfied, said, "Secretary Cheng, although I've just entered the gaming industry, I'm not ignorant of games. Since they look down on me, I'll make a similar game to compete with them and see who can truly win the domestic market."

Cheng Hua appreciated Chen Yang's unwillingness to lose and his daring spirit, but he still had some concerns about the gaming industry: "Chen Yang, I personally support your idea of getting into the gaming industry, but there needs to be a limit. Nowadays many minors become addicted to games, neglecting their studies. In the past two years, the province has received tens of thousands of related complaints."

Chen Yang told Cheng Hua, "Secretary Cheng, once our game is developed, we will definitely install an anti-addiction system to restrict underage players—for example, limiting daily playtime to no more than two hours, or only opening it on holidays."

Seeing that Chen Yang already had a countermeasure, Cheng Hua nodded slightly. Then he returned to the main topic of this summons: "Chen Yang, Xiao Xiao said you've had everyone in the company follow Yu Wenlong to mess around in the game. What's going on?"

Chen Yang immediately explained, "Secretary Cheng, since the company is investing in the gaming industry, of course we need everyone to first experience it. Only by understanding the essence of the game can we adapt to work more quickly. And as the person in charge of the gaming investment, General Manager Yu personally participating in the game experience—this leading‑by‑example spirit is very precious. Miss Cheng used the word 'messing around' to describe what he's doing; I personally think that's a bit unfair to General Manager Yu."

Cheng Hua studied Chen Yang carefully and said in a low voice, "Your explanation is fine, but I've heard that Yu Wenlong spends at least twenty‑five thousand yuan a day in the game. Isn't that a bit abnormal?"

Chen Yang understood Cheng Hua's meaning. The average annual income in Dongjiangsheng is just over ten thousand yuan, so Yu Wenlong's daily spending equals two and a half years of an ordinary person's income—indeed a bit extravagant. However, he also has his own reasons.

"Secretary Cheng, since General Manager Yu is experiencing the game under the company's name, the related expenses should naturally be reimbursed by the company. As long as he can find business opportunities for the company in the game, there will surely be greater returns later."

Cheng Hua continued to ask Chen Yang, "If he can't find any business opportunities, yet still has to spend that much money every day, how would you handle it?"

Chen Yang also adopted a serious attitude and said, "Secretary Cheng, since it's an investment, there is a risk of failure. If General Manager Yu continually fails to find business opportunities, I will definitely make personnel adjustments to let a more suitable person take over his position."

Cheng Hua sighed and said earnestly to Chen Yang, "I know something about this kid Yu Wenlong. Since childhood he's loved causing trouble, he's stirred up quite a few incidents in Xingcheng, and even the shrewd Deputy Secretary Yu shakes his head at the sight of him. If you keep indulging him, sooner or later he'll cause a major incident."

Chen Yang countered Cheng Hua, "Secretary Cheng, do you think it's better to let General Manager Yu cause trouble outside, or to let him play games instead?"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Hua immediately fell silent. It's obvious that letting Yu Wenlong play games only affects him personally, but if you let him go out to cause trouble, the victims would be ordinary common folk.

Looking at it this way, Chen Yang's arrangement is actually well‑intentioned.

"Chen Yang, since you've got it figured out, I won't belabor the point. But you'd better keep an eye on Xiao Xiao's side—don't let her lead Yu Wenlong astray!"

Chen Yang immediately assured Cheng Hua, "Secretary Cheng, you can rest easy. The Common People's Agricultural Products Trading Company is currently negotiating a nationwide express‑delivery cooperation project with the Postal Service. If the talks go smoothly, the rural express‑delivery project will be promoted nationwide. Miss Cheng simply doesn't have time to play games."

Cheng Hua nodded in satisfaction. After Chen Yang left, he immediately called Liu Jianghua.

"Comrade Liu Jianghua, I've heard that Chen Yang is collaborating on game development in Modu. This is a very promising industry—shouldn't our province consider it too?"

"Secretary Cheng, how reliable is your information? I've heard that this slacker doesn't do honest work, daily dragging the company's staff into playing online games. Even that little troublemaker from the Yu family is mixed in there, having a blast."

"Comrade Liu Jianghua, it looks like your information is outdated! That kid has dispatched the chief financial officer and chief legal officer of the Common People's Agricultural Products Trading Company to Modu. If it's just a small investment, is such a grand deployment really necessary?"

"Really? This little brat actually hides his good deeds—looks like he needs a good stern talking‑to."

"Well, then hurry up and make sure to pull the project back to Dongjiangsheng before they reach an agreement. And don't go saying I leaked the secret."

"Secretary Cheng, rest assured—I'll go right away to work on that kid's thinking."

At the same moment, Chen Yang, who had just stepped out of the Provincial Party Committee Compound, suddenly couldn't help but shiver.
