223: Chapter 223 Sharing the Same Boat

Because the Employees of the recently acquired company were not familiar with the senior management, and the senior management was not familiar with the Employees below, it was rare for the internal atmosphere of a newly acquired company to be so harmonious.

As he was feeling emotional and puzzled, Shen Yan spoke.

"Because I had already reorganized the company before you came to visit."

Gu Mingming looked surprised: "You laid off people?"

Shen Yan nodded.

"My company only keeps talented people who are useful, not Employees who are just muddling along."

Gu Mingming praised:

"CEO Shen's methods are swift and decisive, and you are particularly bold. No wonder you succeeded."

Just then, the elevator sounded a 'ding!'

"Let's go, we've reached the office area."

As the words fell.

Gu Mingming nodded and followed.

Half an hour later.

Shen Yan finished showing Gu Mingming around the entire company.

"Now that you've seen the company, what are your thoughts?"

Gu Mingming replied: "I think the decision to cooperate with you is correct."

Shen Yan was not surprised by this answer.

Because Gu Mingming had looked very satisfied throughout the tour.

"Since that's the case, CEO Gu, I hope you can promise me one thing."

Hearing the question, Gu Mingming asked with some confusion: "What do you want me to promise you?"

Shen Yan replied in a low voice: "Just as CEO Gu said, our project cannot be solved with just two hundred million."

"I hope CEO Gu can help us secure more investment funds later."

As soon as these words came out, the expression on Gu Mingming's face immediately turned helpless.

"CEO Shen, I don't want to lie to you. To be honest, my situation in the Gu family is quite difficult right now. Securing two hundred million in investment funds is already the extent of my greatest ability."

Shen Yan could see that Gu Mingming's situation in the Gu family was indeed difficult, but his thoughts were different from Gu Mingming's.

Since Gu Mingming and Gu Xuantian both received tasks from the Chairman of the Gu Group at the same time, it meant that Gu Mingming had not been abandoned.

He believed that as long as their project showed improvement, Gu Mingming could dig up more investment funds from the Gu Corporation.

Thinking this, he told his thoughts to Gu Mingming.

Seeing that he trusted him so much and trusted the company's project so much, Gu Mingming pursed his lips and said:

"Fine. If it really turns out as you say, and the company project makes progress, then I will help you speak to Grandpa and ask him if he can add more investment."

Having received the agreement, Shen Yan smiled.

"Good. Rest assured, neither I nor the company will disappoint you."

Hearing this, Gu Mingming also smiled.

"Then I will wait and see."

Afterward, the two parted ways at the company entrance.

After saying goodbye, Shen Yan turned back into the company.

"Clatter"

Opening the office door, he found Chen Guangke sitting in his office looking at documents.

"What are you doing here?"

Guangke looked up and replied: "Waiting for you, what else would I be doing?"

"Were you just touring the company with him? What did he say?"

Shen Yan walked over and sat down next to the office chair.

"What else could he say? He just said he would trust me and the company project."

Guangke looked as if he was about to cry: "Did he not say anything else? For example, about the investment funds?"

Shen Yan thought for a moment and replied: "No, he just said he only has two hundred million on hand."

"Bang!"

Guangke slammed his head onto the desk.

"What do you think we should do now? We finally found an investor, and that investor only has two hundred million in capital."

"Originally, both our goal and plan were aimed at that Gu Xuantian, but unexpectedly, our target disliked us, and the plan wasn't even used."

When he mentioned this, Guangke got agitated. He smacked the desk with documents in his hand, raging:

"I had already arranged people at the gate, but I didn't expect that Gu Xuantian to be such an arrogant brat! Damn it! If I had known, I wouldn't have spent that money hiring people!"

Seeing how furious he was, Shen Yan smiled and said to Guangke: "The money spent on old acquaintances was public funds. Why are you so angry?"

Guangke pouted: "Am I angry about spending money? I'm angry that our plan failed!"

Shen Yan wasn't as angry as Guangke.

Because he didn't think Gu Xuantian was a very good partner, and... he also didn't believe Gu Mingming couldn't produce more investment funds.

"Everything that happens is beneficial to me. Stop overthinking it, just cooperate with Gu Mingming peacefully."

"As long as our project makes progress, I am confident I can get Gu Mingming to dig out more investment funds from the Gu Corporation."

As soon as these words came out, Guangke's eyes immediately lit up.

"Really?!"

"Our project has a chance now?"

Shen Yan tapped Guangke's forehead with his hand: "We haven't reached a dead end yet. Can you stop worrying prematurely all the time?"

"Today, Xiaoya even said I act like a nagging old woman. I think I should bring you in front of her so she can see what a real nagging old woman looks like."

Guangke said unconvincingly: "How am I like an old woman? I'm looking out for the bigger picture!"

Saying that, he suddenly slapped his head and took a small gift box out of his pocket.

"Right! I almost forgot the gift for my little sister!"

Looking at the gift box Guangke handed over, Shen Yan raised an eyebrow and asked him: "What is this?"

Guangke replied: "Didn't you mention last time that your sister was coming back? I thought I'd buy her a welcome-home gift. Since I don't know much about these things, I asked Wu Ya to help me pick out a lipstick."

"Even though it's a bit late, please help me give this gift to your sister."

Shen Yan took the gift and said somewhat jealously: "Stop calling her 'little sister' all the time. Xiaoya is my sister, not yours."

Guangke rolled his eyes speechlessly.

"It seems you're not just a doting father, you're also a doting brother! Your sister is so much younger than me, what's wrong with me calling her 'little sister'?"

Saying that, he got up to tidy the documents and asked Shen Yan: "How has Xiaoya's health been recently? Has she recovered well?"

Shen Yan put the gift box into the drawer.

"She's doing great. Today she was even nagging me, saying she wants to go out and find a job."

On the matter of finding a job, Guangke and Shen Yan held the same opinion: neither thought Shen Ya needed to find a job; staying at home was fine.

"Why look for a job? Isn't it good to stay at home?"

Shen Yan shrugged and replied: "I don't know. She just told me she's an adult now."

"Forget it, let her do whatever she wants. No matter what happens, I will cover for her."
