Upon hearing that the other party was willing to invest twenty million to acquire the game, Qi Yun felt a bit tempted.

Considering his initial investment of fifty thousand to buy servers until now, his total input was less than two million, making the returns quite substantial.

However, he didn't agree immediately but instead told the other party that he needed to think it over.

Yan Xirui understood his decision, as they didn't expect to seal the deal in their first meeting.

"We'll look forward to your response, Mr. Qi, and hope you won't keep us waiting too long."

"I will." Qi Yun smiled and shook hands with the other party to say goodbye.

After seeing them off, he called Yuan Hua to the meeting room to share what had just happened and hear his thoughts.

"According to our initial agreement, the first plan allows you to immediately earn over three million, and with resources from a large company like Tianhong Games, you'll receive considerable dividends once the game starts profiting."

"As for the second plan, you could get nearly ten million."

"Now tell me your thoughts."

After speaking, Qi Yun lit a cigarette and watched Yuan Hua quietly.

Yuan Hua adjusted his glasses and responded without hesitation: "Boss, my dream is more than just ten million."

"I've talked a lot with Xie Mengmeng recently, and he's taught me to think long-term."

"Even though our game hasn't started making money yet, the daily active users have reached 100,000. If you're willing to invest more in promotion and advertisement..."

Qi Yun looked a bit surprised at the young man across from him, noting that he seemed much more mature than a few months ago.

He stood up, walked over to Yuan Hua, and patted him on the shoulder: "Alright, I understand your thoughts. Let's discuss this further when I return from abroad."

"Get back to work and send Xie Mengmeng over."

"Okay, boss." Yuan Hua responded, got up, and left the meeting room.

A short while later, Xie Mengmeng's large frame squeezed in, asking with a smile, "Mr. Qi, you were looking for me?"

"Yes." Qi Yun pointed to the chair beside him. "Sit down and let's talk."

"Okay."

Xie Mengmeng sat down carefully, afraid of breaking the chair with too much force.

Qi Yun flicked the ash off his cigarette and said, "I wanted to ask if you know anyone experienced in game operations. You know our game has developed to a certain stage, and I want to find someone professional to handle the next steps."

After hearing this, Xie Mengmeng scratched his head and, after a few seconds of thought, replied, "Actually, I do. He's a former colleague of mine from NetEase, though we weren't in the same department. He's very capable."

Upon hearing this, Qi Yun grew interested. Being rated highly by Xie Mengmeng suggested the person had real skills.

He immediately said, "Please contact him and see if he's willing to join. As long as he has the ability, we can discuss the salary."

Xie Mengmeng quickly nodded, "Alright, I'll contact him soon to ask."

...

After arranging things at the company, Qi Yun went home to pack his luggage and then headed to the airport.

At one in the morning, the plane landed in Peng City.

Qi Yun, Chen Wei, and Lao Hei walked out of the airport.

Ah Jiao and Ah Jie were there to meet them.

Having received Qi Yun's call, they had already traveled from Hong Kong Island during the day.

"Lao Hei!"

Seeing Lao Hei, whose injuries had healed, they both showed joy in their eyes.

Lao Hei had almost lost his life protecting them last time.

Seeing his two friends again, Lao Hei couldn't help but smile.

After leaving the airport and getting into the vehicle, Qi Yun turned to Ah Jiao and asked, "How's it going on Hong Kong Island? Are you getting used to it?"

Ah Jiao nodded. "We're just helping out at Brother Hui's place. He doesn't let us do anything dangerous."

Qi Yun nodded slightly and continued to ask, "Did you find the child I asked you about?"

"We found some information. The child's mother passed away, and it seems the child went to the Philippines with someone," Ah Jiao replied.

"Still couldn't save her..." Qi Yun sighed...

The five rested overnight at a hotel before catching a morning flight to Johannesburg.

This flight lasted nearly fourteen hours. It was Qi Yun's first time on such a long flight, and even though they were in business class, everyone except Chen Wei felt stiff and sore after landing.

Due to the six-hour time difference between South Africa and their home country, it was still twilight when they stepped out of the airport.

At the exit, a local man with dark skin held up a sign with Qi Yun's name on it.

Upon spotting it, Qi Yun immediately led the group over.

"Did President Ye send you?"

The man nodded quickly, showing a simple smile, "Yes, are you Mr. Qi?"

The guy's bright white teeth contrasted sharply with his dark complexion, like a real-life version of K'Sante.

Compared to him, Lao Hei's skin seemed fair.

"That's me," Qi Yun replied.

He had called Ye Hanwen yesterday to inform him of the trip to South Africa.

However, timing wasn't perfect, as Ye was currently in Pretoria handling mine matters, so he had sent his driver to receive them.

"Mr. Qi, I'm Tata. President Ye asked me to pick you up. The car is parked outside, please follow me," the man said respectfully.

Qi Yun nodded slightly and followed him toward the parking lot.

Once in the car, Tata took a bag from the armrest compartment and handed it over, saying, "Mr. Qi, President Ye asked me to give this to you."
