After the fake young master left home, he discovered that it wasn't raining at all outside.

Zhu Yan listened to Wen Huai's threat without any concern.

"Extortion? What extortion?" Zhu Yan looked around, seemingly searching for the extortionist Wen Huai was referring to.

"Still trying to deny it? The surveillance footage is crystal clear. Release the recording all you want; let's see if you're any more capable than our entire Wen's public relations department."

Oh, comparing money? Comparing connections?

That celebratory banquet certainly paled in comparison.

But... the surveillance cameras didn't capture him at all.

"Looks like Premier Wen's mouth is on the back of his head." Zhu Yan leaned back against the computer desk.

The entire banquet was conducted with the host facing away from the surveillance cameras, so there was no way to read their lips.

Wen Huai and Wen Chen were stunned and speechless.

"Alright then, I won't make things difficult for you. Here's 200 million, just to put your minds at ease."

Wen Huai nodded through gritted teeth, "You... fine, very good."

Wen Huai took out a bank card from his pocket. Lu Ze's eyes lit up, and he reached out to take it, but Wen Huai grabbed him tightly.

"You just wait."

Wen Huai glared fiercely at Zhu Yan before slowly releasing his grip.

"Tsk tsk tsk, I thought it was a black card. Mr. Wen, you're not a good president after all."

Seeing Wen Huai turn around, Lu Ze sent a wave of sarcasm.

Wen Huai ignored him and stormed off.

Wen Chen, however, was furious. "I got the money, and the recording was deleted."

With no audience around, Wen Chen, the actor, simply stopped pretending.

Zhu Yan deleted the recording in front of Wen Chen.

"What's wrong? You're not calling me 'brother' anymore?"

"Zhu Yan, don't be so smug. So what if you won this time? I am the young master of the Wen family, and you are just a bastard. I will always trample you under my feet!!!"

Zhu Yan couldn't bear to look at Wen Chen's grimacing face. He pulled out a chair, sat down, and continued typing on his computer.

"Young master, no one wants to take your doghouse. Go back now and stop barking."

Unable to win the argument, Wen Chen had no choice but to leave.

But it seems everyone forgot about the staff who stood by the side the whole time.

Σ( ° △ °|||)︴

What's going on? A transaction in front of me???

It means they don't treat me like a human being.

"Um, sir, this..."

The staff member spoke cautiously.

"Hmm? You're still here." Zhu Yan glanced at him. "It's nothing, thank you for your trouble."

Are you kidding me? This isn't all? Aren't you going to offer anything in return?

Two million, bro? Aren't you going to give me some hush money?

So he turned his gaze to Lu Ze, who was standing to the side.

Lu Ze: (ʘᴗʘ✿)

"Is there anything else?"

Lu Ze was still basking in the joy of receiving 200 million.

"Sir, then I will be frank. Your behavior violates the competition rules."

Since you won't speak up, I'll take the initiative and give you some hints so you'll understand.

"What behavior?"

"So...cheating, and even making a private deal."

Dude, I've made it so obvious, can't you at least give me something? Just consider it a tip for my escape.

"Didn't you say you needed to provide evidence? Where's the evidence?"

(-__-)=@))＞o＜)

Wow, you're amazing, you're so amazing, okay?!

……

"Brother Yan, aren't you afraid that staff member will report you? How about we pay them some hush money?"

Lu Ze knew exactly what the staff member was trying to do, but he pretended not to notice that Zhu Yan wasn't reacting.

"The trouble started after he gave it to them." Zhu Yan kept typing on the keyboard. "Besides, he didn't do anything and yet he got the money. It's too easy for him to make money like that."

"That's true. If we get caught and accused of bribery, we're finished."

Lu Ze's eyes darted around, as if he had seen something, and his pupils dilated.

"Oh no! Brother Yan, there seems to be a surveillance camera right above us!"

"I saw it."

"What do you mean by 'saw us'? We were just filmed! What if we get reported?"

"I couldn't get a picture of it; I accidentally blew it out while testing the feel of it."

Just casually? Hacked Qianyi Group's surveillance system?

No, that would be an even bigger problem!

"Brother, you can't do this underhanded. This is Qianyi Group. If we get caught, we're dead."

Lu Ze felt like he was about to explode. Sure enough, following Brother Yan, you really need to have a strong mentality.

"I just fixed it, what are you afraid of? In such a big venue, isn't it normal for a small security camera to malfunction?"

Zhu Yan remained completely unperturbed and even seemed to be enjoying himself.

"Normal, perfectly normal."

Lu Ze could only give the banquet a thumbs up.

"It's still a pity, they only managed to swindle 200 million from Wen Huai."

Lu Ze sighed from the side.

"What a pity, he can only come up with 200 million at most."

"Huh? No wonder asking him for 200 million was like asking for his life. But isn't he the son of the richest man? How come he's so poor?"

Lu Ze looked at Zhu Yan in disbelief.

"He's brainless, but he loves spending money on pleasure. How much cash flow does he actually have at his disposal?"

Sure enough, those evil capitalists.

"Hey, that system that controls the big screen is kind of interesting."

Zhu Yan set his sights on the largest display screen in the very center of the competition venue.

"!!!"

"Brother Yan!!! Please, please hold back your amazing abilities for now, and let's see how you perform during the competition, okay?"

Lu Ze grasped Zhu Yan's hands, his face full of pleading, trying to rouse Zhu Yan from his immersion in the world of code.

Lu Ze couldn't imagine what would happen if Zhu Yan really turned off the big screen. If it were discovered later, wouldn't he be completely blacklisted by Qianyi Group?

"My skills should be pretty good."

Zhu Yan attempted to persuade Lu Ze.

"I know, you're number one in the world."

Lu Ze gripped even tighter.

So... let go.

"no."

"..."

"Alright, that's a bit of a shame."

Sure enough, Yan Ge goes crazy as soon as he touches the computer.
