Over at Ark Interactive, once Xu Ye had handed out the assignments, he stayed out of it.

It was the same with Lü Bin. His team was doing its own research. They'd since hired three more people, and Lü Bin had cleared it with Xu Ye on WeChat first.

As for Qingye Investment, now that the firm had made a name for itself, more and more projects were coming to them. In the beginning nobody had paid them any attention, and they'd practically had to beg founders to come in. That problem was gone now.
