"Oh, have you made the cosmetics according to the formula I gave you?" Ye Lingchen asked.

Dong Miaomiao nodded. "It's already made according to your requirements."

"Good. Deliver them to Y Cosmetics. This will be our group's specialty cosmetics. We can also supply them to other cosmetic shops," Ye Lingchen said with a smile.

Cosmetics were mostly rouge, lipsticks, skincare products, moisturizers, and so on. Making them was no challenge at all for Ye Lingchen. In the future, Y Cosmetics would not procure cosmetic products from other brands, but instead have their own brand. Moreover, Ye Lingchen believed that his own brand of cosmetic products would soar and take over the market.

His plans to slowly change the whole world was being carried out slowly.

Before Dong Miaomiao took her leave, she suddenly recalled something and said, "Chairman Ye, someone from the Warrior's Department came by this morning claiming to have some books for you."

Ye Lingchen was surprised, then laughed and answered, "Alright, got it."

The Warrior's Department did not let him down.

Some books were more precious and regular people would never come into contact with them. A lot of Ye Lingchen's skills were stuck at a plateau and was unable to reach 100%, for example Technology and Chinese Medicine.

It made him feel uneasy like something was lodged in his throat.

If he searched for it himself, that would depend on his luck. Who knew when he would finally bring all of them to 100%. He decided to gamble everything and contacted the Warrior's Department to have them send over related books.

If the Warrior's Department failed to find it, then it was even more unlikely for Ye Lingchen to find them in the near future. However, that possibility was rather low.

For that matter, Chen Qi had even called him up personally, reminding him to put his priorities on the International Martial Arts Tournament instead of neglecting his martial arts for books.

From the Warrior's Department's perspective, the International Martial Arts Tournament was something that impacted China's survival and therefore was of utmost importance.

'Hehe, they still don't know about my abilities. Me? Neglecting my martial arts for books? My actions are directly tied to Earth's future! Don't they know that knowledge is power?

'They're just mortals after all.'

The advancement to basic skills were especially important as it was able to evolve knowledge and skills on earth into something of a higher level, giving it a qualitative change. Moreover, he only needed to spend 100 thousand popularity points. In that sense, it was a good value for its price.

He was just waiting for his skills to all reach 100% proficiency before he goes through bulk upgrades.

Ye Lingchen was in no hurry to read the books. Instead, he went on the internet and checked out the discussion that turned into a storm.

If he remembered correctly, that was the day Dani and some other foreign singers planned to release their new songs. It should be quite a lively day.

Just as expected, the internet was already boiling over with activities. Moreover, within that week the hype was only growing with each passing day with more people talking about the matter.

Right at 12am that day, Dani released his new songs with his lyricist George. At the same time, a lot of foreign singers had also released their own songs.

The entire international music industry was filled with cheers.

[Have you heard Dani's new song? It's incredible!]

[Of course. I purposely waited until 12am to listen to it right as it released!]

[George is so talented. He composed way too many songs. This is considered his magnum opus.]

[It just keeps getting better. It's just too amazing. As expected, English songs sound the best when sung by us native speakers.]

[Of course. That shameless Singer Y from China plagiarized George.]

[Today is a banquet of songs. Aliy had also released a new song. I'm so excited.]

[To be honest, this is somewhat related to Singer Y. It's thanks to him making those arrogant statements that superstar Lile is releasing a new song. My ears are overjoyed.]

[Hahaha, didn't Singer Y say that he's releasing a new song? Why is there no news from him yet?]

[It's just a boast. Chinese love to boast. I think he's too scared to show himself.]

…

A lot of foreigners were incredibly smug and started to provoke the Chinese fans by calling Singer Y a coward.

At the same time, a lot of Chinese went to Singer Y's Weibo to call for his attention, hoping for him to make an appearance as soon as possible to snuff the foreigners' smugness.

Murica…

Dani looked at the statistics online with his face flushed from the excitement. "Number three! Hahaha, I've made it to third place on the new song list. Soon, I'll be number one! We're rich, we're really gonna be rich!"

"That's right. Without him helping us raise our value, we won't reach today's results. Those stupid Chinese ended up making me the final benefactor," Dani said mockingly with a smug look on his face.

George and Dani had been working together for a decade, with one in charge of the lyrics and the other in charge of singing. They were considered somewhat accomplished.

That song was a painstaking endeavor from both of them and they placed a great deal of hope in it, hoping to make it big with this.

However, both of them had limited talent. Although the song was decent, it was still too difficult for them to reach the top with it. Coincidentally, Ye Lingchen's song managed to penetrate into the international market and presented them with a chance.

The plan to accuse Ye Lingchen for plagiarism and raise their value appeared in their minds, to which they immediately took action. As it turned out, it was a successful ploy.

Not only did they steal Ye Lingchen's thunder, a lot of people came to listen to their song out of sympathy, giving them a decent result.

However, much to their surprise, Ye Lingchen had ignorantly issued them a challenge.

When they got wind of that news, they were stunned at first, then broke out in laughter.

That was just looking for trouble!

"I feel that this Singer Y from China is not bad." George smiled. "He actually brought us so much good tidings, boosting our hype and popularity. He's such a nice guy!"

"I think so too." Dani guffawed. "To think that he'd issue a challenge to us, his intelligence is really subpar. Did he forget that he's Chinese? On what grounds is he challenging us? Would our countrymen support a foreigner?"

"That's right. Because of his challenge, a lot of people are checking out our song, allowing us to go viral. What a nice guy," George lamented with his eyes narrowed from his smile.

"We've finally got our break after ten years. We really need some help from others in our lifetime, and this Singer Y is our great benefactor," Dani sighed.

George let out a long sigh. "Unfortunately, there are many other singers releasing their new songs today and took quite a bit of our hype. Otherwise, we would've long been number one."

"That's right. These people took advantage of us." Dani nodded, then added, "Do you think this Singer Y will release a new song?"

"Impossible!" George snickered. "Even if he wrote a new song, will he dare to release it after seeing our incredible result? Wouldn't that just make himself a joke?"
