After turning off the intelligence panel, Qi Yun felt very heavy-hearted.

Last time it was Qiu Jiahao's home that was broken into. The thief didn't find what they wanted, and he thought the matter was over. Now it turned out he was under surveillance again.

Could it be that those people have new leads?

This couldn't help but make Qi Yun think more, because the power of that group was really formidable, and in Jiang Province, they could cause quite a stir.

Even Zhou Wenbin, who had already fled to Yunnan Province, was forced to "ascend"...

At this moment, he really wanted to contact Qiu Jiahao and ask about the situation, but after a bit of thought, he dismissed the idea.

If he's being watched, then any means of contacting the outside world must be monitored as well.

Contacting Qiu Jiahao rashly now would indeed be a bit risky.

After breakfast, Qi Yun picked up his coat and hurried out of the house.

At the door, Chen Wei was already waiting in the car.

After Qi Yun got in the car, he called Duan Pingyu, asking him to come over.

Since the new dormitory was right behind the building, Duan Pingyu arrived in less than two minutes.

"Boss, any instructions?" Duan Pingyu asked.

Qi Yun pondered slightly: "In the next two days, keep an eye on someone for me. I'll send you the details on your phone."

Duan Pingyu nodded: "Alright."

"Remember one thing, do not expose yourself. The person is already under surveillance. You just need to watch their movements." Qi Yun added.

"Understood."

"Alright, that's all. Go handle it now."

Duan Pingyu didn't say more, opened the car door, and left.

After he left, Qi Yun instructed Chen Wei: "Brother Wei, to the company."

Chen Wei nodded and started the car towards the company.

Over twenty minutes later, Qi Yun arrived at the company entrance.

Since Xiang Xiaoyue wanted to expand the team before, Qi Yun simply rented the remaining three offices on this floor. Now, the entire floor belonged to his tech and trade companies.

In one of these offices, Zhong Rui was busy with his work. Seeing Qi Yun enter, he quickly got up and greeted him.

"Boss, you're here. The representative from Maple Capital will be here shortly."

Qi Yun nodded slightly, looked around the office. Though not large, it had everything necessary.

"So, Director Zhong, are you getting used to it?" Qi Yun joked with a smile.

Nowadays, Zhong Rui wasn't only his assistant but also the financial director of the network and trade companies, overseeing three financial staff.

However, his main job was still to assist Qi Yun with certain tasks, leaving specific financial work to his subordinates.

Zhong Rui scratched the back of his head, somewhat embarrassed: "Boss, don't make fun of me."

Qi Yun laughed heartily and patted him on the shoulder: "Do a good job, and maybe I'll be driving a Bentley by the end of the year, counting on you all."

Zhong Rui chuckled along.

After some casual talk, Qi Yun asked about work: "How's the progress on buying the property on Xuanwu Street that I asked you about a few days ago?"

Upon hearing this, Zhong Rui showed a wry smile: "Not very smooth. So far, we've only bought five two-bedroom units, and two more are in negotiation."

"I don't know why, but second-hand houses on Xuanwu Street have suddenly become popular. The complex I picked had over ten listings yesterday, and today only two apartments are left. It's like someone is competing with us."

Qi Yun didn't react too much, seemingly anticipating it, as such information wasn't exactly top secret.

"Just try your best to acquire them. If not, no need to force it."

Although the property prices in that area will inevitably rise, he didn't think they'd rise exorbitantly.

If one were to get hold of a hundred units, not to mention whether there were that many second-hand houses, even if there were, it would take a long time to dispose of them later.

So buying around a dozen to earn several million would suffice.

Relieved by this, Zhong Rui nodded deeply: "Alright, I understand."

"Okay, I'll check with Xiaoyue. When the people from Maple Capital arrive, call me over." With that, Qi Yun stepped out the door and entered the nearby office labeled with the operations director's sign.

Here, Xiang Xiaoyue was also incredibly busy. She tilted her head, holding a phone on her shoulder and talking, while her hands swiftly clattered on the keyboard.

It wasn't until after her call that she noticed Qi Yun standing at the door: "President Qi, you're just in time. I've already lined up the promotion channels. Now we need to choose a celebrity to endorse our game. You decide."

"Oh?" Qi Yun walked to the desk with curiosity.

Xiang Xiaoyue picked up a few photos next to her, handing them over while quoting prices.

"Ge Ge is 15 million for two years."

"This xx Yu is 7 million for one year."

Hearing these quotes, Qi Yun looked up, frowning at her: "What the heck? Why are they so expensive?"

Xiang Xiaoyue shrugged helplessly: "There's no helping it. That's just the way things are nowadays. It's all about traffic. Partnering with these young idols can bring great exposure to our game."

Qi Yun shook his head, brows furrowed, as he continued to look through the photos, mostly of celebrities whose names he couldn't call out.

Until only the last photo was left in his hand, his eyes finally lit up.

"Jimmy Zai? How much is he?"

"Teacher Zhazha Hui is 4.5 million for two years." Xiang Xiaoyue observed Qi Yun's expression, hesitated a bit, and added, "But his popularity has been low these past two years."

Qi Yun put down the photo, pondered slightly: "I'm willing to spend the money but don't want to be a sucker."
