After this video was released, it caused a huge stir. Tickets for their exhibition hall sold out immediately, and scalpers even drove the prices up to staggering levels.

As the person in charge of this exhibition hall, Cao Deming was practically beaming. Originally, he had only been a manager in the Procurement Department and should not have been responsible for this hall. But after procuring such an exquisite model, Goose Factory had begun to value him highly.

After all, only he could establish a connection with Chen Feng. What Goose Factory wanted was for him to win over the team behind Chen Feng as much as possible and have them produce more things for the company. With this shared interest, it would benefit both sides.

Moreover, Goose Factory had been heavily investing in domestic IPs in recent years. With that strategy in place, what they lacked were supporting merchandise and high-quality original content.

Thus, Cao Deming had been riding high lately, constantly directing the staff as they arranged the exhibition hall.

"Move faster. Set that area up properly, and don't let anyone touch it casually. Oh, and the display stand must hold an enormous Bao'er Jie model."

They had also been in constant communication with Chen Feng recently. Cao Deming in particular had directly asked Chen Feng to make them an enormous Bao'er Jie figurine.

Making such a huge figurine was no easy task. Chen Feng could only assemble it in separate pieces, but Cao Deming was still extremely satisfied with the final result.

Meanwhile, Chen Feng had not done much else during this time, yet he had still earned nearly a hundred thousand yuan. His assets had now reached five hundred thousand yuan, though that money would be used as the company's registered capital.

The company was registered a few days later, so he immediately called Lin Xue.

"Is this Mr. Chen Feng?"

"Yes, it's me. I discussed it with the team behind me, and I can tell you the company's name."

"That's wonderful."

Chen Feng then told her that his company was called Corona Technology Company.

"Corona Technology Company? Such a meaningful name truly suits your company's capabilities."

Lin Xue then showered Chen Feng with more praise, leaving him feeling a little lightheaded. He hung up, while Lin Xue immediately reported the company name to her superiors. However, after her superior heard it and looked it up, he found it rather amusing.

"Lin Xue, is this really their company?"

"Yes, Boss. He personally called and told me so."

"Then that's strange. This company was only established a few days ago. It looks like it was newly registered by them, and they still haven't told us their actual company name."

Hearing this, Lin Xue felt a trace of panic and hurriedly asked her superior.

"Then what should we do? Should I ask him again? But if I ask too much, he'll probably get impatient."

However, her superior waved a hand and said to her.

"No need. There's no problem right now. Even if it's a new company, all we need to do is include it in the acknowledgments at the end of our video. There won't be any other issues. Even if netizens find out it's a new company, they'll direct their criticism at it. When that happens, let that young man named Chen Feng deal with it."

Faced with her superior's shrewdness, Lin Xue could only nod. She resolved to tell Chen Feng about the consequences.

But after thinking it over, she felt there was no need. Chen Feng himself had given her the company name, and he should have understood the consequences. The power of the internet was immense; finding information about their company would be no problem. When the time came, he would likely face all kinds of criticism, but that was something he had to consider himself.

Chen Feng naturally knew nothing of this. To him, he was merely a novice when it came to running a company, but none of that mattered. Before absolute strength, everything else was meaningless. Once the company was brought into the spotlight, everyone might assume it possessed exceptional standards, only to be disappointed when they saw that a newly established company lacked such capabilities. But that did not matter either. He could give this company incredibly strong production capacity at any time; after all, he had a miniature 3D Printer.

After settling all this, Chen Feng's next task was to participate in the Robot Competition. It would begin in about a week.

This would also be a chance for Chen Feng to broaden his horizons. After all, relying solely on the miniature 3D Printer to print things with other people's intellectual property was difficult for him to accept, or rather, the returns were too low. He had to make something original, but original creations were not easy to produce. So he intended to go take a look at those robots.

When he returned to the dormitory, everyone was there, seemingly waiting for him. Of course, he had called them beforehand and said he would treat them to a meal, but when he came back, the expressions on all three of their faces were rather serious.

"What happened?"

Chen Feng was a little confused.

"Who would've thought it, Chen Feng? You're the one who's been hiding your rich second-generation status the deepest."

"Exactly. Who would've thought you'd casually throw around five hundred thousand yuan?"

Sun Deming and Zhao Zhipeng mocked Chen Feng, while Li Zhengyang merely spread his hands at the side, looking innocent.

Chen Feng began playing along and put on the air of a rich second-generation heir.

"Since you know I'm a rich second-generation heir, why aren't you hurrying up and serving me tea and water?"

"Oh, you're really keeping up the act now? Just watch how I deal with you. Sun Deming, hurry up and hold his hands down. We're going to give him a good scrubbing."

Screams soon rang out in the dormitory. After a while, Chen Feng limped out of the dormitory with Zhao Zhipeng, Li Zhengyang, and Sun Deming.

"My treat today, so eat as much as you want. By the way, where do you want to eat?"

"Of course, Jude Grand Hotel."

The three of them then feasted wildly at Jude Grand Hotel. Chen Feng still had some money on him, so this expense meant nothing to him. Li Zhengyang and the other two did not order too much either, since they were all rather frugal people.
