The annual gala hadn’t even started, and Yin Corporation was already trending on Weibo twice.
You could practically sense the excitement—and a bit of scent—through the posts.
Internally, Yin Corporation even launched a poll for the most popular snack.
Unfortunately, the votes were so tightly contested that it was impossible to declare a clear winner.
By seven o’clock, the bustling buffet had been cleared by a professional team. Even the lingering scents were removed. Green plants and fresh flowers were arranged, scented candles lit, and the entire building instantly returned to its original, polished ambiance.
A red carpet stretched from the entrance to the central stage in the lobby. Yin Corporation staff tensed.
Here it comes!
Their double year-end bonuses and prizes were about to arrive!
With slightly upturned eyes, thin lips, and a neck wrapped neatly all the way up to the Adam’s apple, the figure exuded a cold, almost forbidden aura.
When those long legs stepped onto the red carpet, employees instinctively pulled out their phones.
Why take photos?
Freeze in awe!
Flashes went off wildly, and Zong Cheng, walking behind Yin Chen, subconsciously paused.
“What’s wrong?”
Seeing he hadn’t kept up, Yin Chen turned to look back.
?
Yin Corporation staff were puzzled.
Why had their double year-end bonus and prize stopped moving?
Move!
Was there… treasure behind him?
Another figure appeared on the red carpet—tall, imposing, and no less impressive than anyone beside him.
Even with a scarf, the chest beneath clearly bulged with firm muscles. He kept his head slightly down, side-profile facing the crowd, half his face concealed by a mask.
Yin Chen held his hand and guided him forward. A turn of the head revealed the mask’s fangs, instantly drawing all eyes.
Whoa? A Venom mask???
And… who is this?
A collective thought flashed through the staff’s minds.
“See? Now you’re not scared, right?”
Yin Chen gave a light wink, casual and confident.
True to form, he had prepared for this.
Of course, Zong Cheng was shy!
The mask was stylish—no wonder he’d picked it himself. His pride was evident in his voice.
Zong Cheng swallowed the words he had wanted to say.
He glanced at the hand Yin Chen held, sweat beading furiously in his palm, yet he only nodded calmly.
“Mm.”
The two walked closer together. Suddenly, the secretary team and A-Mao’s expressions changed simultaneously.
The male secretary quietly crept beside A-Mao and grabbed his neck.
“Whoa! You’ve got some secrets you’re hiding from the organization, right? That’s President Zong, isn’t it? What’s going on between him and Mr. Yin? Spill it!”
?
Scaredy-cat.
A-Mao sat perfectly still. The grip was light, like a kitten kneading milk, and the voice barely reached him. What was there to fear?
Besides…
“Quiet. Mr. Yin is watching.”
The male secretary immediately obediently returned to his seat.
Yin Chen didn’t waste words. After a brief year-end summary, he brought Zong Cheng aside to sit and prepare for their game.
However…
“Have DYX use BZ’s streaming room to set up a live broadcast.”
Yin Chen waved his hand. A-Mao, catching his death glare, approached to receive the task.
He paused, asking,
“Mr. Yin, didn’t you say there was no need to make the gala public?”
That had been true before.
Yin Chen showed him a screenshot.
“This is information Lawyer Gao just sent me. Since they’ve come to our doorstep to provoke, we can’t just do nothing, can we?”
A-Mao checked the screenshot.
Lawyer Gao had informed Yin Chen that Dongfang Wan had hired online trolls to smear Yin Corporation.
He immediately understood.
“I’ll arrange it right away.”
Once A-Mao left, Zong Cheng furrowed his brows, finally coming back to his senses.
“Dongfang Wan causing trouble again?”
His impression of Dongfang Group worsened. Especially Dongfang Wan.
“Yes, but it’s no big deal.”
Yin Chen noticed his tense expression and chuckled softly.
“Don’t worry about it. One Dongfang Wan is nothing for me. Today, it’s all about you. Lead me in the game, take me flying.”
Zong Cheng’s brows furrowed even tighter.
So tense!
Yin Chen, seeing his expression, couldn’t help but smile secretly.
Bringing Zong Cheng to the gala was the right choice!
Just watching Zong Cheng’s reaction made the night enjoyable.
A-Mao moved quickly. Once DYX heard it was Mr. Yin’s request, they had no choice.
In just fifteen minutes, everything was set up, with two professionals sent to prepare the live broadcast.
When the stream went live, the first to notice wasn’t anyone else—it was Tang Chen.
He had just returned home for vacation.
Seeing activity in the streaming room, he was puzzled—why was there movement when the BZ team was on holiday?
Had someone used the wrong account?
Who else could know about this account? Only the manager…
His endless doubts halted when he saw the two on screen.
What?
What is this!
Tang Chen stared dumbly at Yin Chen… and the man beside him.
He was genuinely shocked!
No way… Zong Ge really thought wearing a Venom mask would hide him?
Wasn’t this Yin Corporation’s year-end gala?
Why was Zong Ge here?!
Glancing downward, Tang Chen froze.
That V-neck… almost down to the stomach?!
Wasn’t this exactly what he’d seen at the gym with his broody muscles on display?
Zong Ge, don’t you want to be a beast?!
Wait!
He snapped back to reality.
There was no way Zong Ge owned this outfit!
And he would never wear it!
So… there was only one possibility…
Tang Chen’s gaze shifted to Yin Chen, and he swallowed nervously.
Could it be… what if…?
Zong Ge… had been taken by Mr. Yin?!
His slack jaw slowly lifted.
A strange gleam formed in his eyes.
It’s a happy event!
A great, joyous event!
His long-single Zong Ge finally had someone!
Tang Chen set down his phone and sincerely applauded at the screen.
National celebration!
Congratulations—looks like Zong Ge won’t become the ultimate wizard after all!
“Ah-choo!”
Just as Zong Cheng was about to log in, a sudden chill hit him, and he sneezed.
“Huh? Catching a cold? Want some red sugar ginger tea?”
Yin Chen asked with concern, signaling that the system teardown could start.
Mm.
Disassembling devices—yes, actual device teardown.
Dongfang Wan was utterly stunned as Yin Chen waved his hand, and a dozen or so Yin Corporation employees immediately began unpacking brand-new devices on-site to log in for the game.
Even the hired trolls were speechless.
A junior member couldn’t help but ask their leader:
“Yin Corporation is literally unpacking their latest phones live to play. Even if we try to accuse them of cheating, it won’t stick. How are we supposed to report this to our boss?”
The troll leader was equally shocked, eyes glued to the live feed.
Damn! These phones look amazing!
I want one!
Netizens who had caught wind of the gala were equally amazed by Yin Corporation’s audacity.
【66666! Big shoutout to the boss! Fully prepared—unpacking and logging in live? If anyone still cheats, I’ll livestream a handstand while… you know.】
【As expected of Yin Corporation, true bosses are on another level! Compared to that other “two-letter” group, emmm…】
【So this means! Mr. Yin is personally playing? Wow! Super curious! Is he strong? Otherwise, why would he dare to livestream?】
【He must be strong! Super excited! Honestly didn’t expect to see a top-tier boss gaming live one day—truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience!】
Not only were netizens curious, Tang Chen—teary-eyed, still cheering for Zong Cheng—was intrigued.
Of course! He knew his brother played games with Mr. Yin, but he had no idea how good Yin Chen was now!
And…
Tang Chen’s gaze shifted to his brother, who had just taken a phone in hand, deep in thought.
Could it be… he’s joining the game?
So flashy???
Zong Cheng’s move of taking the phone quickly caught the attention of netizens as well.
Everyone paused.
The troll leader immediately found a new angle for attack:
“Quick! Whoever this guy is, blame him! Say Mr. Yin knows his own limits and specifically hired outside help!”
The junior trolls got it.
Three minutes later:
【Is this it? Is this it? No pretense, just outside help? And the guy is masked—what, afraid we’ll recognize which pro player he is?】
【Poor Yin Corporation staff. Their boss brought in outside support, probably never intending to let them win the prizes!】
【Hah, all this flashy stuff, yet he just brought someone to play with him? I’m dying laughing. How is this getting hyped online?】
Lawyer Gao watched the stream intently, fingers flying across the keyboard collecting data.
Dongfang Wan, huh?
He’d remember this guy—missing out on Mr. Yin’s live gameplay was a grudge to note.
Grudge noted.
As Yin Chen prepared to log in, he casually asked the participating department:
“Are you in the QQ server or WeChat server?”
The employees were obedient and eager:
“WeChat server, Mr. Yin.”
“Mm. Let’s go log in.”
Yin Chen nodded and poked Zong Cheng, signaling him to log in.
As Zong Cheng opened WeChat, a sudden flash of inspiration hit him.
His fingers froze, a fine sweat appearing on his forehead.
Meanwhile, Yin Chen was already connecting.
He glanced at Zong Cheng, puzzled:
“What’s wrong? Not logging in?”
Zong Cheng’s eyes were complicated; he looked at Yin Chen once, then again.
A second later, his finger pressed the login button with determination.
DYX’s dispatched crew immediately focused cameras on their two phones.
The live screen split into two halves: one for Yin Chen, one for Zong Cheng.
A minute later, both Ace accounts appeared before the audience.
Netizens barely had time to be impressed that a CEO could even play at this level before a sharp-eyed viewer gasped:
【Wait a second? Isn’t this the couple account that just believed in love again?! WTF!】
