Chapter 672: Fatal Mistake

Regarding the public's financial investment company's investment in Heavenly Sincere Studio, everyone in the circle has heard about it.

However, everyone only thought Li Cheng was bragging. Some even thought Li Cheng was afraid of retaliation from S Company, so he dragged out the public's financial investment company as a protective shield.

After all, how could the domestic richest person possibly take interest in an unknown game studio?

Unexpectedly, Chen Yang openly admitted in front of everyone that Li Cheng's actions were under his direction.

"Director Chen, you might not know that N Company and S Company have a strategic partnership and also hold shares in S Company. Even if you offered another twenty million, you could not get the agency rights for Go-Kart Racing." Wang Lei wanted to befriend Chen Yang, worried he would embarrass himself in front of everyone, so he immediately whispered a reminder.

Chen Yang also froze for a moment upon hearing the news.

In his previous life, having to support his family left him little time to play games, so it was understandable that he didn't know the relationship between S Company and N Company.

In this life, he is already a business magnate with rich investment experience. Yet he let Li Cheng negotiate the domestic agency for Go-Kart Racing without first investigating S Company's background—a truly fatal mistake!

What's more, as the project's full-time participant, Li Cheng never reported the true situation to him, which made him even angrier.

"Li Cheng, do you know the relationship between N Company and S Company?"

"Director Chen, I thought that as long as the price was right, N Company would change its mind..." Li Cheng lowered his head, not daring to look Chen Yang in the eye. In fact, he only learned of the two companies' relationship after the negotiation failed. He had originally planned to apologize to Chen Yang after making the racing game, but he never expected to run into S Company's people here.

Chen Yang tried to suppress his anger. After all, Li Cheng was someone he brought along; losing his temper now would only make him a laughingstock.

At that moment, Chu Min suddenly kicked Wang Lei from behind. He immediately reacted, taking Chen Yang's hand and walking toward the S Company man who had earlier insulted Li Cheng.

"Deputy General Manager Sun, Director Chen is new to investing in the gaming industry and doesn't know your relationship with N Company. Since the misunderstanding has arisen, I hope you'll overlook it for my sake and not hold it against us. Perhaps we'll have a chance to cooperate in the future!"

"Hmph, General Manager Wang, you speak lightly, but how do we account for our company's loss of twenty million?"

"Deputy General Manager Sun, you're sister companies; this twenty million is just moving money from one hand to the other. If you want to settle accounts, you should go after N Company—if they weren't tempted by Li Cheng's quote, there wouldn't be this twenty million at all."

Upon hearing this, Deputy General Manager Sun immediately fell silent. In fact, he was also very dissatisfied with N Company's people, but since their lifeline is in the other party's hands, he could only endure his displeasure.

Since there was nothing he could do about N Company's people, all he could do was redirect his anger toward the culprit, Li Cheng. Before Chen Yang appeared, he had already warned in the circle that he would make Li Cheng's studio disappear in Modu.

Unexpectedly, Chen Yang showed up halfway!

"Deputy General Manager Sun?" Chen Yang didn't want to put host Wang Lei in a difficult position, so he said directly, "Since my people acted dishonestly, I will bear all of your company's losses."

Upon hearing this, Deputy General Manager Sun's attitude changed instantly; he smiled, took a step forward, and extended his right hand to Chen Yang. "Director Chen, I am Sunpeng, deputy general manager of S Company. Pleased to meet you!"

Chen Yang responded politely, then said, "Deputy General Manager Sun, since your company lost twenty million, once this game is officially launched domestically, our company will provide twenty million in advertising sponsorship fees as compensation. How does that sound?"

Upon hearing this, Sunpeng's mood instantly improved. After all, the twenty million agency fee that N Company wanted to collect was his responsibility, but not a major one; whereas Chen Yang's twenty million advertising investment was solidly his personal achievement.

"Director Chen, if you ever have any trouble in Modu that you can't resolve, just let me know, brother!"

Chen Yang returned a polite smile. He knew well that once his racing game was developed, this Deputy General Manager Sun would no longer be in such a good mood, and it would be even less likely for them to call each other brothers.

Wang Lei, seeing that the two had cleared up the misunderstanding, then introduced the others to Chen Yang.

These people were either self-made bosses or executives from major technology companies in Modu. After all the socializing, Chen Yang ended up with a thick stack of business cards.

"Director Chen, rumors outside say you're dating the Chu Family's second young lady, so why are you now with Chu Min?" After everyone dispersed, Wang Lei finally asked Chen Yang his doubt.

Chen Yang had no intention of pretending to be Chu Min's boyfriend; he frankly told Wang Lei, "My sister-in-law didn't take a liking to you; she wants to use me as a shield to make you give up. I came here mainly for that piece of land in your hands."

Wang Lei laughed and said, "That piece of land, I really hate to sell it. Since you're Chu Min's brother-in-law, I can only bear the pain and let it go."

Chen Yang immediately waved his hand and said, "General Manager Wang, it's best we keep things strictly business. Otherwise, if you and Chu Min don't work out, I don't want you to settle scores over this land."

Wang Lei understood Chen Yang's meaning, his expression turning serious again. "Director Chen, since we're doing this properly, you should know the price: one hundred million yuan. As long as the funds are in place, we can go handle the paperwork tomorrow."

"General Manager Wang, pleasant cooperation!" Chen Yang happily extended his right hand to Wang Lei.

Seeing Chen Yang agree to buy the land without haggling over price, Wang Lei curiously asked, "Director Chen, how much do you plan to invest in Modu this time?"

Chen Yang glanced at Li Cheng, who was still blaming himself, sighed, and said, "I'm not familiar with Modu; I'll see how things go first. If everything goes smoothly, I'll invest more."

Wang Lei understood Chen Yang's feelings. As the nation's top financial shark, his first foray into Modu almost turned into a big joke, which would worry anyone.

He suddenly lowered his voice and said to Chen Yang, "Director Chen, if you can help me get together with Chu Min, I promise to go through fire and water for any future difficulties."

Chen Yang gave him a look and replied bluntly, "Do you think she'd listen to me?"

"Won't she?" Wang Lei doubted a bit. After all, no matter how he tried to win Chu Min's favor before, she ignored him; yet for Chen Yang's land purchase, she personally accompanied him to his private banquet.

Chen Yang nodded firmly. Not to mention matching Chu Min with Wang Lei, he wished he could disappear from Chu Min's sight as soon as the gathering ended.

At that moment, Chu Min lightly kicked Wang Lei from behind and said, "Wang, you shouldn't covet a friend's wife; you're always scheming against me—aren't you afraid Feng Zhuo will turn against you?"

Wang Lei wasn't angry; after steadying himself, he turned his head and chuckled at Chu Min, saying, "You're divorced, so what do I have to fear? Besides, for you I could oppose the whole world—Feng Zhuo included."

"Boring!" Chu Min saw that Chen Yang had already settled the land purchase with Wang Lei, lost interest in staying, and turned to leave.

Seeing this, Wang Lei, not wanting to neglect his role as host, quickly chased after her.

Watching this scene, Chen Yang was speechless. Who would have thought that even rich people could act like sycophants!
