Surprises and Rewards

Rumble!

Outside, several police officers waiting for Chen Yi, accompanied by Qin Xiaoyu and Xia Keke, suddenly seemed to hear something.

The police officer who took the call that night looked up at the sky and pointed at a rapidly enlarging black dot.

"Director, this is Boss Yifei's drone."

The branch director beside him also looked up. Upon seeing the shape of the black dot clearly, he asked curiously, "It doesn't look very big."

"Yifei's drones aren't very big, but they are very powerful. It's said that the engine's thrust-to-weight ratio can easily exceed 30. They sold 4,000 engines in less than a day after going on the market, with sales revenue close to 100 million."

The officer, who had done his homework, explained, "Besides assisting us in apprehending the drug dealer that night, it also performed a live broadcast of a space sprint before. The drone reached an altitude of 230,000 meters before running out of fuel, making it the highest-climbing drone in the world today."

"230,000 meters, that's 230 kilometers up, isn't it?"

The director sighed, "That's farther than going back to my hometown. Indeed, technology is the primary productive force."

Bang!

Bang!

While they were discussing, Chen Yi also landed the drone on a secluded path behind them.

After landing and decelerating to under 100 kilometers per hour, he executed a nimble drift turn, and the entire drone shot into Yifei's warehouse.

"Sorry to keep you all waiting."

Two minutes after the drone landed, Chen Yi came down from the third floor, his hair slightly messy from static electricity.

When he saw the two silver stars and silver cords on the shoulders of the middle-ranking officer among the three officers, Chen Yi's voice stopped short.

No way, I just forgot to report one test flight.

Would such a big shot come in person?

Chen Yi felt a bit uneasy, but thanks to his years of entrepreneurial experience, his movements and reactions were not slow at all. He walked over and politely invited them to sit.

"Welcome, leaders, to Yifei for an inspection."

"Xiaoyu, go get the new tea I bought last month from the drawer on the second floor and make some for our leaders."

"I'm going now."

Qin Xiaoyu glanced at Chen Yi's messy hair and got up to go to the second floor.

A moment later, Qin Xiaoyu came down.

Besides the tea, she was also holding a comb.

"Mr. Chen, there's no need to be nervous. Please comb your hair first. We'll take a photo together later."

Seemingly sensing Chen Yi's nervousness, the director gave a friendly smile and signaled Chen Yi to tidy up his appearance first.

"Please forgive my appearance, leaders."

Chen Yi smiled sheepishly, took the comb, and went into the restroom. He wet his hair with water to flatten it, rinsed his mouth several times with mouthwash, blow-dried his hair, and then tidied up his appearance before coming out.

"We came today to thank Mr. Chen for his brave report in the Lufeng waters a few nights ago and for assisting our police in apprehending criminals.

We had intended to come yesterday, but we were delayed by other matters.

So we came early this morning to present Mr. Chen with his reward and bonus."

The director finished speaking.

The call operator next to him took out a prepared banner and a check, while another officer beside them took out a camera to prepare for photos.

So that's what this is about.

Chen Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

He had thought he was caught red-handed because he forgot to report his drone test flight today.

He hadn't expected it to be this.

The police coming to present an award – he remembered the call from the night they caught the drug dealer.

However, the past two days had been filled with interviewing managers, manufacturing virtual consciousness machines, and after creating the virtual consciousness machines, he had returned to his senior year studies to catch up.

He had been so busy that he had forgotten, almost causing a misunderstanding.

"Reporting and cracking down on illegal activities is everyone's responsibility. This is something I should do as a citizen."

Understanding the reason for the officers' visit, Chen Yi completely relaxed.

He accepted the banner symbolizing honor and the reward check, spoke positive words, and posed generously for the camera.

"Leaders, you caught the people behind that cargo ship, right?"

After taking a few photos and a short video for later publicity, Chen Yi also asked about the arrest that night.

"Millions of people were watching the live broadcast. If I hadn't caught them, I wouldn't have had the face to come," the director replied calmly. "The entire province's armed police were mobilized, and the operation lasted for 8 hours. We caught them all; not a single one escaped."

"Thumbs up to you and your colleagues, leaders."

Chen Yi gave a thumbs-up and sincerely praised them.

This praise came from the bottom of Chen Yi's heart.

After all, that night, he had personally witnessed the sheer volume of the transaction.

To put it bluntly, the quantity at the time was enough to ruin tens of thousands of families.

With such a massive transaction this time, if the people behind it truly escaped, and they resumed their old ways in the future, even more people and families would be harmed.

At the same time, from the perspective of Chen Yi's personal safety.

If the people behind the cargo ship were caught in one fell swoop, he wouldn't have to worry about future retaliation.

"The success of this operation also relies on the support of the general public, like Mr. Chen."

The Director's answer was flawless, and then he changed the subject: "Mr. Chen, do you remember that the reward that night was said to be a surprise?"

"Of course, I remember."

Chen Yi waved the banner of commendation in his hand: "I'm quite surprised right now."

"."

The Director wasn't sure if Chen Yi was being sarcastic or sincere, so he pretended not to notice: "In addition to this banner and bonus, Penghai City offers favorable support policies for entrepreneurial youths like Mr. Chen and emerging technology companies like Yifei.

I've come to inform Mr. Chen on behalf of the commerce department that you can prepare your documents when you have time and apply for the three exemptions and five half-discounts policy.

Additionally, the Penghai Police need a batch of police drones to combat criminals.

The requirements are strong endurance and flight performance, a small size, and simple operation.

The speed doesn't need to be as strong as a space sprint; breaking the sound barrier is sufficient.

Since they will be used to combat criminals, it would be best to design one or two simple and effective weapons.

The initial amount for this batch of orders is no less than 500 million. I believe Yifei would be interested in bidding."

After the Director finished speaking, Qin Xiaoyu and Xia Keke, who were accompanying him, as well as the two police officers who came along, were all stunned.

Not to mention the three exemptions and five half-discounts policy.

Literally, three years of tax exemption, followed by five years of half tax.

For Yifei, which had just hired professional managers and was preparing to make a big move, this was enough to generate significant profits in the coming years.

As for the second order of no less than 500 million, it was said that Yifei could participate in the bidding.

But the requirements, to put it bluntly, were tailor-made for Yifei.

Besides Yifei, no other drone manufacturer could meet such performance requirements.

With these two rewards combined, "surprise" was no longer an adequate word to describe it.
