122: Chapter 122 House Viewing
Shen Yan ignored him and asked directly, "How much can you lend me?"
Chen Guangke pulled out his phone and checked his account balance.
"I only have over two hundred thousand in my account right now. How about this, I'll keep ten thousand for my living expenses, and I'll lend you all the rest."
Shen Yan patted Chen Guangke's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely pay you back with interest later!"
Chen Guangke rolled his eyes.
"I don't care if you pay me back with or without interest. As long as you aren't being scammed by someone else, that's fine."
Shen Yan burst out laughing and walked back to the living room with Chen Guangke.
In the living room, Wu Ya was still playing with Youyou.
"Xiao Wu, are you free right now?"
Hearing the question, Wu Ya turned and replied to Shen Yan, "Yes, what's up?"
Shen Yan scratched his head and said, "It's like this, the Nanny is off today, but I need to go out for a bit. If you're free, could you possibly help me watch Youyou?"
Wu Ya agreed without hesitation.
"Of course, you can go with peace of mind. I will definitely look after Youyou for you."
Shen Yan nodded and added, "Then I'll have Old Chen accompany you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Guangke said to Shen Yan, "No, I'll go with you. I'm not at ease letting you go to the East District alone; I'm afraid you'll be tricked."
Wu Ya asked Shen Yan curiously, "What are you two going to the East District for?"
The man didn't intend to hide it from Wu Ya.
"I'm thinking of buying a house in the East District."
"You want to buy a house?"
Wu Ya looked surprised.
The company currently needed money in many areas.
She didn't think Shen Yan would have this idea anytime soon.
"Are you... planning to get married?"
Shen Yan was stunned by Wu Ya's question.
"Why the sudden question?"
Wu Ya lowered her head a little embarrassedly.
"If it's not for that reason, I really can't think of why you would suddenly want to buy a house."
Shen Yan was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
He hadn't expected that the mission assigned by the system would make Wu Ya think he was getting married.
"No, I just purely want to buy a house first."
Wu Ya's eyes darted around, and she asked Shen Yan, "Is there anything I can help with?"
Shen Yan smiled, "Of course there is. Didn't I just ask you to help me watch the child at home?"
Chen Guangke couldn't stand it and gave Shen Yan a push.
"Aren't you going to the East District? Hurry up, why are you dawdling here?"
"Got it, got it." Shen Yan grabbed the car keys while telling Wu Ya, "Then the two of us will head out first. We'll come back to find you later."
Wu Ya waved at them.
"Okay, you two go ahead, goodbye."
Leaving the house,
Shen Yan and Chen Guangke drove towards the East District.
Two hours later,
Chen Guangke got out of the car with a dark expression.
"We finally made it... I almost couldn't hold it in and threw up in the car."
Shen Yan jogged into the convenience store, bought a bottle of water, and handed it to Chen Guangke.
"It's a weekend today, heavy traffic is normal."
After rinsing his mouth a few times, Chen Guangke said, "But that doesn't mean the traffic should be that bad!"
"A place that should have taken an hour to reach took a full two hours!"
Shen Yan smiled, turned, and walked forward, "Alright, stop complaining. I've already contacted someone to take us to see the houses. Let's go."
Chen Guangke nodded, stood up straight, and followed Shen Yan's pace.
Not long after, they met up with the Agent.
"You must be Mr. Chen and Mr. Shen, right?"
Shen Yan grunted, "Lead the way."
On the other side, Chen Ling was waiting in the office for Wang Tian's reply.
"Creak..."
The door was pushed open.
Wang Tian, who had been on the phone for over an hour, finally returned.
Wang Tian sat back down on the sofa and said to Chen Ling, "I've already discussed it with them, and they all agreed to pool money with me to buy the shares you hold."
"However... we are all very curious, why do you suddenly want to sell the shares you hold?"
Chen Ling did not answer immediately.
The reason she suddenly wanted to sell her shares was because she realized Yang Jin was right.
The company was no longer as glorious as it once was.
As the saying goes, as long as the green hills remain, there will be wood to burn.
Instead of wasting time in this company, it was better to offload the company shares early and then establish a new company.
"Why I suddenly want to sell the shares I hold is none of your business. In short, how much are you willing to pay?"
Wang Tian's eyes darted around, and he named a price.
"Twenty-five million, how about that?"
Chen Ling rolled her eyes.
"Impossible. I already said that price is too low."
Wang Tian sighed deeply and earnestly persuaded Chen Ling, "You also know the current situation of the company. Being able to come up with twenty-five million to buy your thirty percent stake is already very good."
"If you still want a higher price, then we might really not be able to reach a consensus..."
Before he could finish speaking, Chen Ling interrupted, "Thirty-five million. This is the lowest price I can accept. If you don't agree, then we don't need to talk anymore."
Wang Tian pressed his tongue against his cheek.
Thirty-five million—he and the other few shareholders could still manage to gather that amount.
"Fine, thirty-five million it is."
Seeing that he agreed, Chen Ling immediately had her secretary draft a share transfer agreement for thirty-five million.
After signing the share transfer agreement, Chen Ling received a huge sum of thirty-five million.
"Alright, the money is in the account. This company belongs to you now."
After speaking, Chen Ling let out a laugh.
For some reason, Wang Tian felt that Chen Ling's laugh carried a hint of malice.
He stopped Chen Ling and asked her, "The share transfer agreement is signed, and you've received the money. Can you tell me now why you were in such a hurry to sell the shares you hold?"
Chen Ling turned her head and said something with an ambiguous meaning.
"You will naturally know why I was in such a hurry to sell my shares after some time."
Wang Tian frowned; he still didn't understand what Chen Ling meant.
...
The matter of Chen Ling transferring her shares quickly spread widely within the company.
"Did you hear? CEO Chen has left the company!"
"I heard. They say the share transfer agreement has already been signed."
"Oh my! That's great. I've long been unable to stand that Chen Ling. Never mind that she lacks professional knowledge, she insists on interfering with our project team's matters."
"I feel like once CEO Chen leaves, our company can get back on track!"
"I think so too. Even if the other shareholders are bad, they probably won't be like Chen Ling, making us plagiarize and work overtime for free..."
Because the news had spread widely, Chen Guangke also learned about it not long after.
"Holy crap!"
Chen Guangke suddenly exclaimed in surprise.
Shen Yan was looking at houses when he heard him shouting.
"What are you shouting about over there?"
