147: Chapter 147 An Unbreakable Friendship

"Alright, stop with the self-reflection. This whole thing has absolutely nothing to do with you from start to finish. Or are you secretly stabbing me in the back too?"

Chen Guangke’s last sentence was a joke.

Shen Yan knew that.

He slightly curved his lips and clinked glasses with Chen Guangke.

"Then Old Chen, I won't waste time with flowery words. I'll just say one thing: I don't want this incident to affect our work among the three of us."

After hearing that, Chen Guangke rolled his eyes.

"Tch! Old Shen, you still don't know me well enough. How could I possibly let this affect my work?"

"When Chen Ling kicked you out of the company before, didn't I also not resign directly because of my relationship with you?"

Oh wow!

Old Chen brought up a rather interesting example.

"Since you brought it up, I have to properly discuss it. Why didn't you resign from the company when Chen Ling kicked me out before?"

Chen Guangke raised his chin and replied proudly, "Because neither of us is the type of person to give up work for the sake of feelings!"

Shen Yan burst out laughing.

"Hahaha! Good! That’s very good!"

Seeing him laugh so happily, Chen Guangke couldn't help but laugh too.

After the laughter subsided, Chen Guangke said:

"Okay, I’m done teasing you. The reason I didn't quit the company back then was because I wanted to help you find an opportunity, to see if I could help you salvage some losses."

"As it turned out, not only was I unable to help you salvage any losses, but Chen Ling also made things difficult for me with all sorts of excuses. The most exaggerated part was that my mother actually got sick around that time..."

At this point, his eyes turned red.

"If it weren't for you back then, I... I don't even know what I would have done..."

Shen Yan shook his head and reached out to put his arm around Chen Guangke's shoulder.

"You helped me a lot too, didn't you? If you hadn't lent me one hundred thousand to help pull my sister back from the brink of death, I wouldn't have been able to pull myself together and earn that hundred thousand to pay you back."

To put it plainly, both of them had come through particularly difficult situations.

How could they possibly dissolve their partnership over a small matter of feelings?

Thinking this, the two exchanged a knowing look and smiled at each other.

"Alright, enough talk, it’s all in the drinks!"

Chen Guangke said while raising his beer bottle.

Shen Yan nodded and also raised his beer bottle.

"That's right! It's all in the drinks. I believe we will definitely get better and better..."

And so,

the two of them drank until past midnight.

When they woke up again, it was already noon the next day.

"Oh my god! It’s already noon!"

Chen Guangke shouted as he got up to put on his clothes.

Seeing how flustered he was, Shen Yan got up and let out a yawn, "We're already late anyway, there’s no need to be in such a rush."

Chen Guangke rolled his eyes and grumbled, "You are the boss; you don't get your salary docked for being late. I get my salary docked if I'm late!"

"Forget it, I’m not waiting for you. If you don't come, I'm leaving by myself!"

Seeing this, Shen Yan quickly said, "Okay, okay, wait for me. I'll drive you over..."

Saying that, the two began to tidy themselves up.

After a flurry of activity,

the two finally got into the car.

Half an hour later,

the two appeared at the Company Name.

As soon as they arrived, they ran right into Wu Ya.

"You two..."

Before she could finish speaking,

Wu Ya smelled the strong smell of alcohol on both of them. She covered her nose and asked them, "Did you two go drinking last night? Why do you smell so heavily of alcohol?"

Shen Yan and Chen Guangke exchanged a look, chuckled, and replied, "We two originally intended to have just one glass last night, but we didn't expect it to get stronger as we drank, and that's how it ended..."

Wu Ya shook her head and told them, "Then you two hurry up and freshen up. There’s a meeting this afternoon regarding Fuchen Enterprise."

Speaking of Fuchen Enterprise, Shen Yan immediately perked up.

He replied to Wu Ya, "Don't worry. Just as we planned, we'll have a meeting at 3:30 this afternoon about the plan to swallow Fuchen Enterprise."

...

On the other side...

Inside Fuchen Enterprise:

"Slap!"

Several financial reports were thrown onto the floor.

Wang Tian furiously asked his secretary, "Why is our company's financial situation getting worse and worse?!"

The secretary kept his head down and dared not speak.

Seeing that he remained silent, Wang Tian became even angrier.

He raised his hand, pointed at the office door, and shouted at the secretary, "Call those good-for-nothings from the Project Team and the Finance Department over here right now!"

The secretary looked up and said timidly, "But they are in a meeting right now, I..."

Wang Tian exploded in rage.

"I said right now, immediately call those few good-for-nothings over here! Do you not understand what I'm saying?!"

The secretary shook his head and replied in a panic, "I understand, I understand. I'll go call them right away."

With that, he scurried out in a panic to summon the people.

Ten minutes later,

the people from the Project Team and the Finance Department had all arrived.

None of the people who arrived looked very good.

But no matter how bad their expressions were, none were worse than Wang Tian's.

"I want to ask you all, what are you doing while collecting the salaries the company pays you every day?"

The people from the Project Team and the Finance Department exchanged glances.

No one dared to speak.

"What? Are you mute?"

"Don't think you can escape just by playing mute in front of me! I'm telling you, if you can't come up with a viable business plan within two days, none of you will have a job here anymore!"

The people from the Project Team and the Finance Department trembled.

"But Mr. Wang, two days is really too rushed. Our staff cannot possibly finalize a plan in such a short time. How about you give us a few more days..."

Wang Tian didn't care if they could rush it or not; he just wanted the plan.

"I said, if you can't get it done within two days, then all of you can just get lost!"

"Alright, stop being an eyesore here. Hurry up and go figure out a plan for me!"

Wang Tian made the final decision.

The people from the Project Team and the Finance Department could only leave dejectedly.

The office gradually returned to silence.

Just as Wang Tian was contemplating how to explain things to the other shareholders, his phone rang.

"Jingling, jingling."

Speak of the devil.

The person calling him was one of the company's shareholders.

Taking a deep breath, Wang Tian swiped to answer the call.

"Hello..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was subjected to a torrent of abuse from the person on the other end of the line.

"Wang Tian! What did you say when you took over the company? You said you could guarantee turning the company from loss to profit!"

"And now? Are you going down the same path as Chen Ling?!"

Wang Tian turned on the speakerphone, placed the phone on the desk, and said:

"The company has only been in my hands for a few days. What's the rush?"
