121: Chapter 121 Changing one's mind

"You give me the minimum price you are expecting, and I'll see if I can discuss it with the others to pool money and buy it out."

Chen Ling didn't believe Wang Tian was being so kind.

The other party was most likely probing her bottom line, trying to drag it down bit by bit.

"If you put it that way, then I can only tell you that my lowest expected price is eighty million."

Wang Tian pursed his lips.

Eighty million?

Only a fool would pay that!

"We definitely don't have eighty million. How about this: I'll gather some money with the other few shareholders. Is twenty million okay?"

Chen Ling let out a cold laugh.

He started by cutting fifty million off.

This Wang Tian really took her for a fool.

"No.", she refused decisively, then added, "It's fine, if we can't agree, just pretend I never brought this up today, and you never saw this share transfer document."

Wang Tian frowned and made a "tsk" sound.

"Let's talk properly. If there's an issue, we can discuss it. Why do you always have to be so absolute?"

"To be honest, the price you are asking is simply too high. There's no way I can agree to it unilaterally."

"How about this, I'll go talk to a few shareholders and see what they say."

Chen Ling shrugged without speaking, implicitly agreeing.

Seeing her agree, Wang Tian stood up, took out his phone, and said, "Then I'll go chat with them first. I'll come back to discuss this matter with you after."

Chen Ling nodded.

Meanwhile, Shen Yan was at home playing house with Youyou.

"Daddy! Do you want to eat the fried rice I made?"

Shen Yan looked at Youyou dotingly and replied, "Of course, Daddy has to eat the fried rice Youyou made! Let me see what kind of fried rice Youyou made."

Youyou solemnly placed the toy frying pan in Shen Yan's hand.

"The fried rice I made isn't ready yet. You have to eat the fried egg first."

Shen Yan was amused to the point of grinning widely.

"Hahahaha, okay, I'll eat the egg Youyou fried for me first."

The two of them were having a blast playing in the living room.

Time passed amidst their play.

It was soon afternoon.

Shen Yan had originally planned to send a message later to ask Chen Guangke about the progress, but unexpectedly, before he could ask, the two of them showed up at his door.

"Creak."

He opened the door to find Chen Guangke and Wu Ya standing there.

"Why are you two here?"

His voice even changed pitch in surprise.

Chen Guangke sighed deeply.

"After we finished watching the movie and eating, we didn't know where else to go."

Wu Ya chimed in, "We thought about it again and again, and felt that going out was actually quite boring, so we came to find you."

Hearing this, Shen Yan felt his vision go dark.

He had finally found a chance to get these two out together, but they came back halfway through their outing to find him.

It was simply outrageous.

"No, no, no, don't stop, you two must continue. Just go have fun. Today is your vacation, you should hurry up and relax."

Wu Ya shook her head and refused.

"It's too boring just going out the two of us."

"If we didn't come to find you, we would have just gone straight home."

Since she had said that, what else could Shen Yan say?

He shook his head, moved aside, and said to them, "Alright then, come in."

As soon as Chen Guangke and Wu Ya entered, they saw Youyou sitting in the living room.

"Youyou, quickly greet them!"

Youyou opened her big eyes, looked at the two of them, and greeted them, "Hello, Uncle. Hello, Big Sister."

Hearing the address, Wu Ya smiled and responded, then said to Youyou, "Youyou is so cute."

Chen Guangke narrowed his eyes, looking displeased.

"Youyou, what's going on? Why did you call me Uncle and her Big Sister?"

Youyou replied with an innocent smile, "Because Big Sister is younger than Uncle, so I should call her Big Sister."

Wu Ya was overjoyed by the flattery.

She took out the toy she had bought before coming over and gave it to Youyou, saying, "Your little mouth is so sweet. This is a toy I bought for you, keep it safe."

Shen Yan frowned.

"Why did you buy a toy?"

Wu Ya bent down and handed the toy to Youyou.

"This is the first time I'm meeting Youyou, so I had to prepare a little welcoming gift, right?"

Shen Yan shook his head.

"This toy doesn't look cheap. How much was it? I'll transfer the money to you."

Wu Ya seemed a bit displeased.

"I bought this for Youyou, not for you."

Seeing that she was unwilling to take the money, Shen Yan had to change the subject.

"By the way, have you two eaten? If you haven't, I can cook for you."

Chen Guangke replied irritably, "Didn't I just say? We went to see a movie and ate."

Hearing this, Shen Yan walked over, put his arm around Chen Guangke's shoulder, and said to Wu Ya, "Then you stay here and keep Youyou company for a bit. I need to talk to him about something."

Wu Ya had no objection.

In the bedroom, Shen Yan asked Chen Guangke, "What's wrong with you? Such a great opportunity, and you're not seizing it at all!"

Was it that he didn't want to seize it?

It was that Wu Ya didn't want to go out with him at all!

Chen Guangke closed his eyes, feeling utterly exhausted.

"Don't be like this again in the future. I can tell she has absolutely no interest in me."

Just as Shen Yan was about to say something more, an electronic voice sounded in his mind.

["Ding! Special Mission Issued: Please purchase the house in the East District within five days."]

This was the second time the tycoon system had reminded him to buy the house in the East District.

For the tycoon system to remind him twice consecutively meant this matter was very valuable to him.

"Do you have any money recently?"

The topic shifted too quickly, and Chen Guangke was caught off guard.

"Huh? You're the one who pays my salary, I don't have any money, don't you know?"

Shen Yan made a "tsk" sound and said, "Stop talking nonsense with me. Just tell me directly if you have any savings?"

Chen Guangke found it strange.

"Of course I do. Besides regularly sending money to my mom every month, I deposit all the rest of my salary and bonuses into my card."

"What's wrong? Are you trying to borrow money from me?"

Shen Yan nodded.

"I want to buy a house."

Chen Guangke's eyes widened.

"You... want... to... buy... a... house?!"

Shen Yan was exasperated and didn't understand why Chen Guangke was so surprised.

"Yeah, is there a problem with that?"

"Of course there's a problem," Chen Guangke replied without hesitation. "Didn't you say before that you had no plans to buy a house for the time being? Why do you suddenly want to buy one?"

"You're not thinking of buying a house in the West District, are you?"

Shen Yan shook his head to deny it.

"No, I want to buy a house in the East District."

Chen Guangke was even more disapproving.

The houses in the East District were much shabbier than those in the West District.

If he absolutely had to choose between these two places, he would lean towards buying in the West District.

"Then you might as well buy a house in the West District!"
