Yin Chen wasn’t unhappy at all.
He was even gleefully spending huge sums without a second thought.
“W-What did you just say?”
Famed for his calm and composed demeanor, Lawyer Gao couldn’t hide the shock on his face.
Had he just imagined it?
Yin Chen was even more astonished.
“You’re only in your thirties. How can your ears already fail you?”
?
Lawyer Gao quickly regained his composure.
“Mr. Yin, you must be joking. I heard what you said—you mean you want to acquire the DYX platform, right? But if I may ask, you never seemed interested in this field before?”
He had served Yin Chen for over two years and had never seen him show any interest in this sort of thing.
He paused, then continued, “I also heard you recently invested one hundred million to form an esports team?”
“Not really,” Yin Chen said casually. “Lately, I suddenly feel that young people like me should enjoy stuff like this. It seems fun, so I thought I’d acquire DYX just to play around. What, is it difficult?”
His face was genuinely earnest.
Who doesn’t like games these days?
He had been reading several esports novels recently—they were all great!
And besides, games are way more fun than work.
Lawyer Gao shook his head immediately.
“You’re joking. With your wealth and status, an acquisition is nothing—at most, it’s just a matter of money.”
And coincidentally, for this boss, any problem was solvable. Money? That truly wasn’t an issue.
“As for money, I trust your team’s professionalism. And if the other party demands too much, here’s a video you might be able to use.”
Yin Chen lightly tapped his long fingers on the tablet.
Lawyer Gao understood, picked up the tablet, and pressed play.
The next second, Yin Chen’s voice echoed from the tablet, and the video showed—astonishingly—a gameplay screen.
!!!
Lawyer Gao’s heart was shaken.
He actually played games?
And that Mr. Zong… could it be the one he knew? These two are that close?
Yin Chen propped his chin, his lazy tone brimming with the maturity and slyness of a businessman.
“I heard this platform still hasn’t implemented user levels, and people can comment without verifying their identity. Given the number of false remarks made about me, don’t you think the platform’s management bears responsibility?”
Lawyer Gao immediately understood.
“You’re right. If you want, our team can even demand a substantial amount in damages for defamation.”
Though a lawyer, his ability to read the intentions of his superior rivaled any cunning merchant.
As the saying goes, he could hear the subtle meaning behind the music—it described him perfectly.
Yin Chen tilted his head: “?”
You sound even more like a cunning merchant than me.
“Not necessary,” he said. “As long as their demands are reasonable, I trust you, Lawyer Gao, will know the right limits.”
Otherwise, the tens of millions he spent annually on this team could be spent elsewhere.
Lawyer Gao smiled confidently.
“Rest assured, Mr. Yin. At the latest, in one week, you will get the results you want.”
Exactly. This was the confidence worth every million spent.
Yin Chen nodded in satisfaction, motioning for Gao to take the tablet with him.
“I remember you mentioned a new little nephew at home. Give this tablet to him to play games.”
Gao looked at the brand-new tablet, worth tens of thousands, and his tone brightened noticeably.
“Then my little nephew thanks you, Mr. Yin.”
Even if the nephew hadn’t opened his eyes yet, a thoughtful gift from the boss was never refused.
The owner of DYX, surnamed Gu, had laughed and called it a daydream when he first heard Yin Corporation wanted to acquire his platform.
But barely a day later, Lawyer Gao personally arrived.
Gu Boss, after hearing him out, felt like he’d entered some magical realm.
“Are you serious? Mr. Yin wants to buy my tiny company?”
Yes.
DYX could be considered a notable streaming platform.
But!
Compared to Yin Corporation? That’s like a whale versus food stuck between its teeth.
Gu Boss blinked, dazed, and finally asked, “Can I ask… why?”
He had never heard of Yin entering the streaming industry.
And honestly, if they were entering, DYX wasn’t exactly top-tier—he couldn’t understand why they would target his platform.
Lawyer Gao smiled faintly and pushed the tablet forward.
“Not sure if you’ve been keeping up with your own site. Here’s a video. I suggest you watch it.”
Gu Boss’ heart skipped a beat.
W-What video?
His finger hesitated over the play button, but Gao, thoughtful as ever, tapped it for him.
Ten minutes later.
Gu Boss, drenched in cold sweat, watched the barrage of comments and mentally scolded his management team mercilessly.
After finishing, he lifted his pale face toward Gao and asked cautiously:
“So… what does Mr. Yin intend?”
Gao gently stroked the pen on his chest.
“Nothing, really. Mr. Yin just wants a relatively normal streaming platform. As for the rest, he hasn’t said anything. Personally, I think, considering your lack of platform management, how you handle this—your attitude and sincerity—will largely determine how smoothly things go.”
His eyes were calm, but his tone gradually tightened.
Gu Boss felt like his teeth ached.
It wasn’t just a simple warning to not inflate prices—spoken so politely, typical lawyer style.
Tch!
Even if Gu Boss was annoyed, he was still a businessman.
A smart one would recognize the situation and simply offer a reasonable price.
And after seeing the video, he had to admit—he had indeed been negligent in management.
Let Yin Corporation clean up this mess!
A week later, Lawyer Gao accomplished his mission.
DYX issued an announcement: the platform now bore the Yin surname instead of Gu.
【…I can’t even sit under the lemon tree anymore. First a team, now a platform. Don’t tell me this is rich people’s way of having fun.】
【Hah, it’s just a DYX. In my dreams, I could buy a hundred like this!】
【Ah… I’m getting confused. Has the world suddenly changed?】
As DYX’s announcement went out, BZ Team immediately released another:
【Congratulations to Zhang Taining and Tang Chen on signing with BZ. With you, BZ is even more exciting.】
Fans of Zhang Taining and Tang Chen were stunned.
They… really ended up together?
Tang Chen’s fans were okay, but some of Zhang Taining’s fans turned bitter.
【Damn it, I thought I followed a capable one. Turns out money is king. You can team up with someone who once cheated you? Unfollow, damn streamer.】
【Unfollow +1, weak streamer.】
【Can’t even block someone properly, still let Tang Chen sign? I have nothing to say. Bye, useless streamer.】
Zhang Taining saw the new comments under BZ’s post and gritted his teeth.
What do these people understand?
They know nothing and yet act all high and mighty online!
The more he read, the angrier he got, until he instinctively picked up his phone.
“Put it down.”
A cold voice suddenly sounded.
Zhang Taining froze and looked up.
A man a few years older, accompanied by Brother Xie, walked in.
Who is this?
Zhang Taining was stunned for a second, then furrowed his brows.
“Who are you? Mind your own business!”
Xie Liu shivered slightly and shot him a sympathetic glance.
ε=(ο｀*))) Sigh.
Foolish kid, that’s your rich sponsor!
And the one you offended!
Nothing more to do.
Good luck, Zhang Taining.
Yin Chen walked over, hands in pockets, and knocked on Zhang Taining’s desk.
“I don’t think you want to know who I am.”
Zhang Taining laughed in anger.
What is this guy pretending for?
“Which immortal descended from heaven are you? Why should I care? Am I supposed to fear you?”
“Hehe.”
Yin Chen gave a subtle smile.
“This question I want to know too. I’m Yin Chen. My game ID is ‘I Am a CEO.’ Which one seems more familiar to you?”
Zhang Taining’s eyes nearly popped out!
What the—!?
Who did he say he was? Which ID???
He twisted his neck toward Xie Liu for confirmation.
Xie Liu avoided his gaze and whispered:
“This is our team’s investor, Mr. Yin.”
He paused, then added:
“And Mr. Yin’s ID… is actually quite realistic.”
Zhang Taining finally understood the kind of despair viewers had been talking about—the desire to vanish on the spot.
His face turned green, then pale, then purple—it was a kaleidoscope of colors.
Damn it!
Why would a CEO go play games?
And why take a ridiculous ID like that?!
Zhang Taining was suffocating.
Yin Chen, seeing him squirm, felt a subtle satisfaction.
Indeed, novels don’t lie—nothing beats a face-to-face slap like this. Pure… delight!
After Zhang Taining calmed for just a second, Yin Chen ruthlessly pressed on:
“By the way, I teamed up with the CEO of the company that recently worked with Yin Corporation. Now I ask you—does our ID still seem dumb? Is it just for broke people? Am I showing off?”
Triple soul-questioning.
Zhang Taining was petrified.
So seriously!
Why do you CEOs have such bizarre hobbies?
His knees gave way; he dropped to the floor.
“QUQ No, I’m the number one fool in the world.”
Good. That answer pleased him.
Yin Chen nodded.
He walked toward Xie Liu, intending to leave.
But after a few steps, he stopped, unexpectedly delivering another blow.
“Oh, I heard you lost to Mr. Zong privately. A would-be pro, huh?”
Zhang Taining gritted his teeth.
He trembled.
Hold it in!
Can’t hold it!
Zhang Taining burst into tears.
“I… I don’t want to live QUQ!”
