After sending Yang Zhou off, Chen Yiyang began to understand his newfound fame in South Korea.

In short, it all started when Cui Zhihao bought blueprints and equipment from a drone manufacturing company in Lin'an, and sold them to a South Korean military drone supplier, which was later uncovered by journalists in South Korea.

The reason this scandal was discovered is quite amusing.

Because the reason Cui Zhihao came to Lin'an to find a drone manufacturer was that the South Korean military drone contractor behind him bought drones from an online shopping platform and used them along with related materials to win the bid for those military drone supply orders.

Later, although Cui Zhihao obtained more detailed data on those drones through Chen Yiyang's connections.

But because the drone designs from this company were distinctive, even without detailed parameter data, one could easily determine the drones came from the same manufacturer.

So the South Korean journalists directly searched online in Huaxia and found the pages of the Lin'an drone manufacturers from previous platforms.

When this report was published, the entire South Korean media scene erupted.

The self-proclaimed world's top-three in military technology, South Korea, was using military drones that were products from next-door country's online shopping platform.

Even more unpalatable to them was the fact that this wasn't a one-man bid; many local South Korean drone manufacturers also placed bids. In the end, so many drone manufacturers were outweighed by a company mainly selling civilian drones on a shopping platform from the neighboring country!

It's a slap in the face kind of humiliation.

With a deep dive by numerous media professionals, the connection between the South Korean military drone contractor, Cui Zhihao, Chen Yiyang, and the Lin'an drone manufacturer was unveiled.

Of course, domestically, everyone regarded this news as entertainment.

At most, some fans expressed amazement that Chen Yiyang was involved in such niche business, truly earns money from anything.

"Let's try to handle this with public relations," an accountant nearby said, squatting while eating chips, "Release a statement explaining it, just say that South Korea approached you, and you merely helped introduce both parties."

"Then arrange to release it," Chen Yiyang replied, lying on the couch and starting to wonder who might be scheming behind all this.

Actually, it's not a big deal.

But the logic behind its occurrence is rather odd.

If South Korea proactively discovered this, Chen Yiyang shouldn't have been dragged in.

Based on logical thinking, South Korea would believe their military contractor purchased drones and detailed blueprints from a shopping platform.

They might dig up Cui Zhihao but wouldn't uncover Chen Yiyang.

Therefore, the exposure aimed specifically at targeting Chen Yiyang stemmed entirely from a tip-off.

Is it by Changcheng people, or is there someone else wanting a piece of him?

Chen Yiyang mulled over it and called Cui Zhihao.

No answer.

Very typical, ever since the scandal broke, Cui Zhihao had vanished, reluctant to show himself.

Not that he's scared.

His involvement merely earned him a commission, the ideas and actions were driven by the military drone contractor.

Cui Zhihao was no more than a worker.

And if legal responsibilities were pursued, he'd likely face fines at worst.

Hiding now is probably to reduce his presence, avoiding public attention. When public opinion mounts, guilt or no guilt, he could be forcibly judged guilty.

Thus, Chen Yiyang phoned another Korean acquaintance, Huang Zaihao.

Huang Zaihao's independent game has sold nearly five million copies worldwide, acquiring numerous awards.

Yet, due to the publishing contract he discussed with Chen Yiyang, profits from over two million sales largely flowed into Chen Yiyang's pocket.

Thus, after selling over three and a half million copies, Huang Zaihao gradually reduced contact with Chen Yiyang.

He previously mentioned hoping for investment from Chen Yiyang in his next indie game, but not anymore.

Presumably, feeling that Chen Yiyang took too much of his money, forgetting the gratitude when Chen Yiyang agreed to guarantee at least two million in sales.

However, as adults, it subtly became an unspoken agreement to avoid further collaboration, yet calls are still answered.

Upon receiving Chen Yiyang's call, Huang Zaihao promptly spoke.

"This guy Cui Zhihao is drinking here with me. You know about his recent troubles, so he's not very happy, seeking us out to drink. But he's a bit tipsy now, should I hand him the phone?"

"Go ahead," Chen Yiyang said.

Thus, Huang Zaihao handed the phone to Cui Zhihao, announcing, "China's Chen Yiyang wants you."

"You damn guy, you've really screwed me over!" Cui Zhihao spoke drunkenly, sounding truly intoxicated.

Confronted by Cui Zhihao's drunken query, Chen Yiyang calmly asked, "Why do you say that?"

"You made enemies overseas, and now they target me for revenge. I considered you Huaxia people as friends, but what I confided in him, he sold me out because his company bears grudges against you."

"Is it Changcheng people?"

"Yeah, didn't they have issues with you? It's all your fault, you owe me compensation."

Slurring his words over a long ramble, Chen Yiyang grasped the gist, found nothing novel, and hung up.

Luckily, no new forces stepped in targeting him.

Realizing this incident is a maneuver by Changcheng, Chen Yiyang felt less tense.

In the domestic business space, a new force's rise inevitably leads to the decline of the old.

Chen Yiyang's assets are nearing the ceiling for an individual without corporate backing.

Progressing further necessitates building a fully owned large enterprise.

Such enterprises are one man, one spot; without toppling others, one cannot rise.

In short.

His conflict with Changcheng has transcended personal grievances, evolving into developmental opposition.

Changcheng's targeting, Yang Chengru's reminders.

Instead, enlightened Chen Yiyang to realize one truth.

To take a seat at the table, he needs a large enterprise under his control.

Now that he obtained vehicle manufacturing credentials, coupled with the surge in new energy vehicles.

Chen Yiyang feels compelled to step over Changcheng's head, announcing to the domestic business scene, Mr. Chen has arrived.
