"No need, I just want to take the money and leave." Chen Yiyang replied decisively.

After hearing Chen Yiyang's response, Wang Yuan thought for a moment and then went out to make a few phone calls.

He returned and told Chen Yiyang, "Chen, then let's agree on two million to buy out your forty percent investment share contract."

"No problem." Chen Yiyang nodded in agreement.

He estimated that the pure profit expected from this game's follow-up is less than fifty million.

Choosing to take two million now might be a slight loss, but it's very convenient.

After all, the variables are too big moving forward.

Moreover, Wang Yuan might manipulate the advertising investments later on, increasing costs and reducing profits.

Chen Yiyang couldn't be bothered to think about it any further.

After the three stayed in Wang Yuan's office for a while, two investors came from outside.

These two investors signed a new contract with Chen Yiyang, taking over the investment share contract Chen Yiyang had previously signed.

As for Chen Yiyang's two million asking price, they would arrange to transfer it to Chen Yiyang's account today.

"Pleasure doing business." After the transaction was completed, Wang Yuan shook hands with Chen Yiyang.

Then, Wang Yuan said sincerely, "Although Chen doesn't plan to continue investing in my studio, I still have to thank him. Without his investment in my game when no one else believed in it, I wouldn't have achieved this success."

Wang Yuan's gratitude was genuinely heartfelt, which Chen Yiyang could see.

But people are complex creatures.

When there's no conflicts of interest, gratitude is sincere. But if business continues, the relationship can only worsen.

Moreover, barring any surprises, this should be their last collaboration.

So, after shaking hands with Wang Yuan amicably, Chen Yiyang left with Zhang Yida.

"Is it settled already?" Zhang Yida was a bit dumbfounded as they walked out of Wang Yuan's game studio building.

Even though he's been in the industry for over ten years, a two-million deal would count as a big deal.

It was settled in just one afternoon.

"What else can you do?" Chen Yiyang said, "They think they can make more money in the future, so it's more cost-effective to buy off our investment share now."

"By the way," Chen Yiyang patted Zhang Yida's shoulder, "are you in a hurry to go back tonight or can we have dinner and leave tomorrow?"

"Alright." Zhang Yida agreed.

It wasn't that he really wanted to stay; it was mainly because Chen Yiyang hadn't paid him the legal fees yet, so he had to give Chen Yiyang some face.

Chen Yiyang hadn't visited Shanghai's Bund before.

So, he and Zhang Yida called a car and wandered around the Bund, looking for a good place to eat nearby in the evening.

But every restaurant they approached told them they were reservation-only and didn't accept walk-ins.

After a few tries, the two were so frustrated they settled for a burger joint by the beach.

Ordered a few burgers and a salad.

After eating, they settled the bill.

Three hundred bucks.

Shanghai currency is so expensive.

"How about we just leave tonight?" Zhang Yida whispered, "I feel like staying here a night might be more expensive than our airfare."

"I'll pay, let's stay in a presidential suite tonight." Having earned two million today, Chen Yiyang thought the prices in Shanghai were ridiculously high.

But he decided to stay one night.

He mainly wanted to see what kind of discounted information his phone could give him after midnight.

Previously in the Imperial Capital, the two pieces of information had one entry threshold of nine million and another of a hundred million.

He's very curious about the entry threshold for discounted information in Shanghai.

So Chen Yiyang spent thirty thousand on a presidential suite in a Five Stars hotel for himself and Zhang Yida to stay in.

At midnight.

Playing on his phone, Chen Yiyang received today's discounted information.

Today's information, commercial plaza for sale: Due to funding issues, Wanye Company decided to sell their Qibao Commercial Plaza in Shanghai at a low price. Buy the plaza for less than six hundred million to successfully snag the deal.

He gave up hope.

Chen Yiyang looked at the discounted amount mentioned in the information.

Less than six hundred million.

Don't mention six hundred million; he can't even come up with a hundred million now.

Better to return to West Capital and upgrade slowly.

The next morning, Chen Yiyang and Zhang Yida woke up early and had a buffet breakfast provided by the hotel.

Then they flew back to their respective cities.

As soon as Chen Yiyang landed in West Capital City, he received a call from Han Bingbing.

"Did you return to West Capital yet? Reporters here are looking everywhere for you, don't let anyone snatch you away, quickly come to me."

Chen Yiyang checked the news.

It turns out over in the Imperial Capital, Wei Dong had published Ms. Wang Rui's mathematical formula.

This immediately stirred a sensation in the entire math community.

Plus, the legendary story behind the formula.

So, before any media outlet officially reported it, the news had already become a hot topic.

Han Bingbing immediately published this news on her personal website.

As expected, the video footage she released was promptly picked up and re-shared by various media without notice.

Now, she needs Chen Yiyang to come for an interview so they can produce a more formal news report together.

The place Han Bingbing and Chen Yiyang agreed upon is naturally not a private location.

The two need to complete the news recording at the local TV station in West Capital.

As soon as Chen Yiyang's car arrived downstairs, a man eagerly opened the car door for him.

"Mr. Chen, right?"

"Yes, I am. And you are?" Chen Yiyang glanced at the man's appearance and searched his mind. He realized he didn't recognize this person.

"I'm the producer of the news channel at our West Capital TV Station," the man introduced himself.

Chen Yiyang remembered; Han Bingbing had mentioned this person before, the leader who had snatched Han Bingbing's news previously.

"Hello." Chen Yiyang shook hands with him and then followed him into the TV station.

Before long, the other party led Chen Yiyang into a studio.

Inside sat a female anchor whom Chen Yiyang didn't recognize.

Judging by the appearance, she seemed to be the reporter who appeared at the end of the video about the Prince of Persia's ancient tomb being looted.

"I wasn't expecting this reporter, was I?" Chen Yiyang pointed at the female reporter and asked.

"Reporter Han Bingbing had another interview task unexpectedly, so we switched to another reporter. That's okay, right?" The producer looked at Chen Yiyang in an ingratiating manner.

Chen Yiyang decisively turned around to leave, "Then I'm not recording."

"Wait, wait!" The producer saw Chen Yiyang was about to leave and quickly caught up to block him.

This time, Ms. Wang Rui's notebook news has already garnered high attention online.

For the leadership at West Capital City TV Station, Ms. Wang Rui is a West Capital local, and her notebook was ultimately left in West Capital.

So the first formal media report of this matter must be from West Capital TV Station.

Otherwise, the whole of West Capital City's reputation would be tarnished.

Currently, there's already a rumor online that Ms. Wang Rui's notebook was originally donated to a school, but ended up being found by chance at a scrap recycling station.

Thus, the leadership of West Capital City TV Station desperately hoped to have a formal interview to dispel these rumors.

"Tell us your conditions for agreeing to the interview. Our TV station can offer a very high interview fee." The producer, holding onto Chen Yiyang, said.

"If the interviewer isn't Han Bingbing, I won't accept the interview today. As for money."

Chen Yiyang coldly looked at the TV producer in front of him and said, "Do I look like a person who needs money?"

This is the confidence that having twenty million in the bank gives to Chen Yiyang.

If others had twenty million in hand, they might still worry about finding investment projects.

But for Chen Yiyang, having twenty million in liquid assets, reaching a billion in total assets is just a matter of time.

Whether it's because the producer saw the confidence from Chen Yiyang's twenty million,

The producer eventually stopped causing trouble and brought Han Bingbing over.

"Thank you." After arriving, Han Bingbing sincerely thanked Chen Yiyang.

"I just think investing in you is more worthwhile," Chen Yiyang replied.

As soon as Chen Yiyang finished speaking, Han Bingbing's gaze towards him became incredibly tender, as if it could squeeze out juice.

However, now it's essential to handle the official business.

The two walked into the studio, and Han Bingbing conducted the interview with Chen Yiyang gracefully.

Chen Yiyang also announced on the spot that he plans to donate Ms. Wang Rui's notebook.

Of course, whether the donation is to a local school in West Capital or a school in Imperial Capital is uncertain.

The leaders in West Capital certainly hoped to keep Ms. Wang Rui's notebook in West Capital.

Thus, the interview ended in the evening, and the news video appeared online the next day.

After picking up a valuable antique worth tens of thousands mentioned in today's leak report,

Chen Yiyang received a call from the government staff inviting him to discuss at the government office.

After Chen Yiyang went, he met with a secretary.

"Regarding Ms. Wang Rui's lifetime notes, it was due to our government's oversight; I apologize to you."

As soon as Chen Yiyang went in, the secretary immediately sat opposite him and apologized.

In the secretary's view, Chen Yiyang's parents or relatives might have previously been students of Ms. Wang Rui.

That's why he was willing to go to the scrap recycling station to find Ms. Wang Rui's lifetime notes and buy them back.

This is when it was discovered that the notebook recorded the formula that solves a current problem in the mathematics field.

So he planned to approach emotionally, persuading Chen Yiyang to ultimately leave Ms. Wang Rui's notebook in West Capital.

If Chen Yiyang donated those notebooks to Imperial University, the whole West Capital education sector would be disgraced.

However, Chen Yiyang knew that the leader's private apology was worthless, so he directly changed the topic.

"Leader, I seldom meet such a high-ranking leader like you. I have some difficulties here; can you help me solve them?"

"Tell me first." The secretary thought Chen Yiyang was about to talk about personal issues.

But Chen Yiyang opened his mouth and mentioned the ancient tomb unearthed in the forest land he contracted.
