115: Chapter 115 West District
"It's in the West District."
Shen Yan narrowed his eyes.
The place mentioned in the advanced wealth intelligence was in the East District.
Although there was only a one-character difference between the East District and the West District, the locations were completely different.
Why did He Yunri suddenly want to buy a house in the West District? Was it really for investment?
"What's wrong? Do you think the West District is not a good place?"
Hearing the question, Shen Yan shook his head.
"Of course not. I haven't done any research on real estate, so I can't give you any advice."
He Yunri gave a hum of acknowledgment and asked again, "Then what are your thoughts? Are you willing to help me?"
To be honest, Shen Yan was not willing.
He felt it was very strange that He Yunri suddenly asked for his help in buying a house.
He Yunri was powerful and wealthy; if he wanted to buy a house, he could easily do it himself. Why ask him?
Thinking of this, Shen Yan lowered his eyes and replied, "Mr. He, why don't you find someone else to help you? I really don't have the state of mind to deal with this lately."
After being rejected, He Yunri's expression instantly turned cold.
"So you're not even willing to help me with such a small favor?"
"Mr. He, it's not a matter of whether I'm willing to help or not. It's just that I really don't have the time to handle this recently..."
Before he could finish, He Yunri interrupted him directly.
"Fine, you don't need to say anymore. Since you don't want to help me, then you should leave."
Seeing that the other party had no intention of continuing the conversation,
Shen Yan nodded and turned to leave.
Driving to the office building, he thought for a moment and called Chen Guangke.
"Old Chen, where are you now?"
"I'm at the office. I was just about to get off work when you called. What's up? Is there something you need me to do?"
Shen Yan gave a hum of acknowledgment.
"I'm downstairs at the office right now. Come find me."
Chen Guangke found it strange.
Since Shen Yan was already downstairs, why didn't he just come up and talk to him?
"Can't you just come up and talk to me?"
Shen Yan curled his lips.
"Just come down when I tell you to. Why so much talk? Hurry up, I'm waiting for you downstairs."
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
After a while, Chen Guangke came trotting over with his briefcase.
Opening the car door, he plopped down into the passenger seat.
"Speak, what's going on with you?"
Shen Yan rested his hand on the steering wheel and turned to Chen Guangke, "Accompany me to the West District to take a look."
Chen Guangke looked surprised.
"Why so sudden? What's wrong over there?"
Shen Yan: "He Yunri plans to buy a house there. I want to go and take a look."
Chen Guangke's face was full of questions.
What did He Yunri buying a house have to do with them? It wasn't like they were the ones buying.
He thought about it.
He felt that Shen Yan might also be planning to buy a house there.
"So you want to follow his lead and buy there too?"
Shen Yan found it amusing.
"Do I look like I want to buy a house right now? I just find it strange."
Chen Guangke found it even stranger.
"What's so strange about someone buying a house? Isn't it normal for rich people to buy property?"
"Besides, didn't you go to report on the company's software? How did you end up talking about buying a house?"
Shen Yan recounted his conversation with He Yunri to Chen Guangke.
"That's roughly what happened. I feel like there's definitely something fishy going on, so accompany me to check out the houses in the West District."
Chen Guangke thought Shen Yan was being too paranoid.
It was just asking for help to buy a house. What could be fishy about that?
He told Shen Yan what he thought.
"So you think I'm overreacting?"
Shen Yan raised an eyebrow.
Chen Guangke replied, "I wouldn't say overreacting, but from my perspective, I don't think asking you to help buy a house is a big deal."
"He's an internet tycoon and even invested in our company. He wouldn't set you up."
Really?
Shen Yan wasn't so sure.
Although he had known He Yunri for some time and they got along well, he didn't think their relationship was that close.
"In any case, let's head over to the West District first and take a look."
Since he put it that way, what else could Chen Guangke say?
"Fine, fine, let's do as you say. Anyway, you've already rejected him."
At this point, he became a bit worried.
"Do you think he'll hold a grudge against you because you didn't help him?"
Shen Yan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"If it were you, would you hold a grudge against me over such a small matter?"
Chen Guangke shrugged his shoulders.
"If I were the boss, I certainly would."
"After all, we're business partners, and I've even invested in your company. If you're not even willing to help me with such a small thing, it makes it hard for me to trust you with my back."
Shen Yan shook his head and gave a blunt insult, "No wonder you can't be a boss."
"Even if I really rejected him, our business partnership wouldn't be interrupted over such a trivial matter."
"To put it bluntly, he only cooperated with me because he saw potential profit."
Chen Guangke didn't think so; he still remembered how He Yunri had helped them during the competition.
"But didn't he also help us investigate Chen Ling's matter back then?"
"We didn't show him any profit back then, so I don't believe he's cooperating with us purely for profit."
Shen Yan sighed.
It seemed neither of them could convince the other.
But it didn't matter.
He trusted his intuition; there was definitely something wrong with the West District.
"Enough talk, accompany me to the West District."
Chen Guangke nodded and buckled his seatbelt.
An hour and a half later, the two arrived at the West District.
"Isn't it only eight o'clock? Why are there so few people on the street?"
Hearing Chen Guangke's question, Shen Yan looked around and replied, "This place is too far from the Commercial Street. It's normal that not many people live here."
Chen Guangke tilted his head, doubt surfacing in his mind.
"If not many people live here, why does He Yunri want to buy a house here?"
This was also what puzzled Shen Yan.
"How about this, let's find an Agent company and ask."
Having said that, Shen Yan got out of the car and took Chen Guangke to an Agent company by the roadside.
As soon as they entered, the Agent enthusiastically led them both into the office.
"Are you two gentlemen planning to rent or buy a house?"
The Agent asked them while serving tea and water.
"We plan to buy a house here, but since we're not familiar with the area, we wanted to ask a professional."
The Agent placed the water cups in front of them.
"I see. Where are you living now, Mr. Wei?"
Shen Yan and Chen Guangke answered truthfully.
"Isn't that quite far from here?"
