"These companies and factions were not intentionally cultivated by Chen Yan."
"Rather, they formed on their own due to various reasons."
"After all, Chen Yan's various companies, under current business circumstances, seldom come into contact. There wasn't much opportunity for cooperation."
"Moreover, due to the industry and differences among company executives, each company's style was distinct."
"For example, the game company was down-to-earth and techie."
"Like the film and television company was unconventional, gossipy, and free."
"Like the investment company was elite and arrogant."
"Like the charity fund was kind and passionate."
"This led to the formation of small circles centered around each company."
"Therefore, in the absence of Lu Man's company associates, and since Chen Yan and He Mengxue only interacted within the game and investment companies, it was impossible for Lu Man to have learned about this from others."
"So Chen Yan felt something was off."
