After confirming the seal's loss, the clerk truly didn't dare take on the responsibility for losing the nation's Ministry of War Seal. After all, this could be a crime of beheading and confiscating one's property.

So he simply found the spare box for storing the seal and stuffed it with five hundred copper coins.

This way, when the person in charge of keeping the travel seal returns and finds the weight unchanged, he wouldn't open the box to check whether the seal is still inside.

When the group returned to the Imperial Capital, the clerk had dinner with his friend who managed the warehouse and disclosed the insider details.

This person, also a reckless individual, for the fifty taels of silver given by the clerk, signed off on the travel seal without opening the box to verify when it was put into storage.

Finally, the already lost travel seal was just senselessly sent into the warehouse inside its box.

The following year, when the Emperor went on a tour again, the seal was needed.

So officials from the Ministry of War sent people to the warehouse to fetch the seal.

But at this time, the seal was already gone. The person managing the warehouse falsely reported the seal as missing.

Then the academicians of the Ministry of War reported this matter, thus alarming the Emperor.

One can only say, bureaucrats as an entity are truly bold, acting without considering the consequences.

If they can hide it for a day, they will.

The final result of this incident was that Jiaqing ordered people to search along the way to see if anyone had melted the seal and made silver from it.

But ultimately, nothing was found.

This Ministry of War Seal has been completely lost.

Afterwards, people could only remake a travel seal slightly different from the lost one for use.

This way would prevent someone from using a fake travel seal to deceive.

Chen Yiyang stared at the silver ball in front of him.

He never thought that the Ministry of War Seal lost years ago was actually hidden in this silver ball.

It seems the person who stole the seal back then was likely part of the entourage and knew what this seal was used for.

So after stealing it, they didn't hurry to melt it down for cash, but instead cast it into a silver ball to evade investigation.

However, ultimately, this seal never resurfaced and has always been preserved in this world as a silver ball.

And now, due to various coincidences, it has ended up in Chen Yiyang's hands.

Imperial Capital, afternoon.

Chen Yiyang and Gong Fan walked together into a private room.

Inside, people from Tengxu Entertainment Department who had been waiting for a long time were seated.

"Director Gong Fan, meeting you is really not easy." The high-ranking individuals, who are also influential figures within Tengxu, faced Director Gong Fan with utmost enthusiasm.

In the country, there is only one director who can shoot large-scale sci-fi films.

So they can't help but be enthusiastic.

Soon, the head also saw Chen Yiyang.

"This is my friend, Chen Yiyang." Gong Fan introduced Chen Yiyang.

Upon hearing that he was a friend of Director Gong Fan, the head of Tengxu Entertainment eagerly came forward to shake hands.

"I am currently working on live streaming sales and video influencer sectors and intend to expand into the agency company field."

Chen Yiyang briefly introduced himself.

"Old Western Company, that's yours, isn't it? Just the other day, I followed your live broadcast." The head of Tengxu Entertainment pays close attention to industry-related news.

He is well-informed about Gong Fan's itinerary.

Then, his attitude towards Chen Yiyang became even warmer.

After all, Chen Yiyang holds a top-tier live streaming sales company and a top-tier video influencer.

These are resources that Tengxu desires.

"To meet you, I specially rushed back from South Korea. After meeting you, I still need to hurry back to South Korea."

"Is there any business in South Korea?" The head of Tengxu Entertainment asked curiously.

"I've finalized an investment in an indie game over there."

Once Chen Yiyang, Gong Fan, and others sat down, they discussed his business in South Korea.

"Huang Zaihao's game? It should be good. I met him years ago." Tengxu was originally founded on games.

This head had been managing the gaming department for years and earlier had impressions of Huang Zaihao.

"Yes, I believe this game has the potential to become a global hit. The last time I was this optimistic and invested in games was Daughter of the Snow Mountain and Tutu."

"You invested in those two games as well?" The head of Tengxu Entertainment had initially intended to discuss sci-fi movie collaborations with Director Gong Fan.

Unexpectedly, upon meeting Chen Yiyang, he immediately sensed a treasure trove.

He holds a top influencer, manages a leading live streaming sales company.

He has successfully invested in two indie games and also participated in Gong Fan's movie investments.

This is just like a miniature version of the Tengxu Entertainment Department.

Thus, Chen Yiyang and the other party began to chat more and more enthusiastically.

"Extreme Path Team originally belongs to you? This team has also caught our attention.

In fact, regarding Dota Alliance, Tengxu invested in their parent company early on, and we are preparing to acquire the company wholly.

When that time comes, all Dota Alliance clubs in the country will be integrated and managed under Tengxu Entertainment."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yiyang immediately sensed a crisis.

Once a major company like Tengxu enters the esports field, it would likely bring various profit-making methods besides regulations.

The entire esports field would be used by Tengxu as a traffic entry point to divert to its profit projects.

Players from clubs will have their value rise under such circumstances.

Whether he can immediately profit from the club is uncertain.

Because once the Extreme Path Team truly wins the championship this year.

Then the value of the championship-winning five players will instantly soar, even exceeding the worth of the championship prize.

Chen Yiyang should plan ahead.

"The current project 'Produce 101' is not under my management; the higher-ups have seen significant potential to open the domestic idol market, so they've specially assigned someone to manage it."

When Chen Yiyang discussed 'Produce 101' with the Tengxu head, he was curious as to why Chen Yiyang was inquiring about it.

"I want to sign a young idol and prepare to put her in there."

"Hahaha, I understand. Bro, you're really putting in the effort to woo someone." The head apparently got the wrong idea.

Nonetheless, he provided Chen Yiyang with a contact.

"You can reach them to discuss. Currently, all the specifics of Produce 101 and the final team formation are in his hands. I can only connect you."

"No problem." Chen Yiyang nodded.

Getting the contact information was good enough.

He still needs to continue discussions with the specific head on the details.

However, the head of Tengxu Entertainment was also quite interested in the influencer Li Qiqi under Chen Yiyang's wing.

Even a company of Tengxu's size finds influencers like Li Qiqi who dominate abroad quite enviable.

Although Chen Yiyang doesn't want to interfere too much with Li Qiqi's choices in commercial and video domains, he indicates that he can connect them, and the specifics are up to their own skills.
