226: Chapter 226 Funds Arrive

While lost in thought, Chen Guangke rushed into the office.

"Old Shen! The funds have arrived!"

Hearing this, Shen Yan looked up and replied to Chen Guangke, "I already knew about this."

Chen Guangke asked him excitedly, "That's two hundred million in funds! Aren't you even a little excited?"

Shen Yan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Didn't you think this amount was too little before?"

Chen Guangke pouted and replied, "I still think it's little now, but this money truly resolves our current predicament."

"By the way, how do you plan to allocate this money?"

Hearing Chen Guangke's question, Shen Yan thought for a moment and replied to him:

"I think we should stick to our previous idea and invest all two hundred million in the project's first cycle. As long as the first cycle is completed successfully, Gu Mingming can secure more investment funds from his family."

Chen Guangke thought Shen Yan's idea was a bit too naive.

"Are you sure he can really pull more investment funds from his family? I feel like this matter isn't as easy as we imagine."

Shen Yan shrugged his shoulders.

"This matter is definitely not as easy as I say, but even if it's not as easy as we say, we still have to try our best and put in some effort."

"We can't just give up before we even start, can we?"

Chen Guangke felt Shen Yan was right.

They couldn't give up lightly before everything had even begun.

"Fine, I'll go to the lab now to ask Jiang Yuan what they need and check on their progress."

Just as Shen Yan was about to nod in agreement, his phone rang.

He picked up the phone and saw it was another unknown number.

Because he didn't want to answer Wang Tian's call again, he hung up without hesitation.

"Ring! Ring!"

The phone kept ringing persistently.

Shen Yan irritably hung up the call again and added the number to his blacklist.

Chen Guangke rarely saw Shen Yan so agitated. He asked Shen Yan suspiciously, "Who was calling?"

Shen Yan replied, "I don't know, maybe Wang Tian."

Chen Guangke's eyes widened.

"Wang Tian?! Didn't he run away? Why is he calling you?"

Shen Yan told him about yesterday's events.

"So he's out of money now and wants to threaten you into giving him money using the acquisition matter?"

Shen Yan nodded.

Immediately after, Chen Guangke started cursing loudly.

"Damn it, how can someone be so shameless? If it weren't for him, would we have lost the company?"

"If it weren't for him and Chen Ling colluding together, would you have had to work as a construction laborer for such a small amount of money?!"

"Whenever I think about this matter, my heart aches. If they hadn't conspired together, you wouldn't have had to live in such a small place."

"Do you know how awful I felt seeing you living in that place where you couldn't even stretch your legs today!"

Seeing his deeply pained expression, Shen Yan couldn't help but chuckle, "Actually, you don't need to be so dramatic. Although the room is a bit small, it's not like I can't stretch my legs."

Chen Guangke glared at Shen Yan.

"I'm trying to speak up for you, why are you undermining me here!"

Shen Yan stepped forward and patted Chen Guangke's shoulder, "Of course I know you're speaking up for me, but Wang Tian isn't here now. Even if you curse until your mouth is raw, he won't know you're scolding him."

"How about this, next time he calls, I'll hand the phone directly to you so you can give him a good scolding."

Chen Guangke snorted and reluctantly agreed to the plan.

"Fine, then you must remember to give me the phone. I'll curse that bastard to death!"

Saying that, he suddenly remembered Chen Ling.

"Right, what about Chen Ling? Has she been sentenced yet?"

Shen Yan shook his head and answered truthfully, "I don't know about that. I didn't go to inquire, but regardless of whether she was sentenced or not, I estimate she won't be out anytime soon."

Chen Guangke sneered, "That's what she deserves! Who told her to be so greedy? This is all what she earned!"

"What about Yang Jin? Have you found him?"

Shen Yan shook his head again.

"I heard not yet."

Chen Guangke clicked his tongue and muttered, "He ran fast. We should have arrested him too!"

Shen Yan smiled without saying anything.

After chatting in the office for a while, the two went back to their respective work.

Time passed minute by minute.

Soon, it was lunchtime.

Since their company didn't have a cafeteria, most people ordered takeout or ate nearby.

Shen Yan had also planned to order takeout, but Chen Guangke insisted on taking him and Wu Ya to eat at a newly opened restaurant nearby.

"Why don't you two have any sense of adventure?!"

Hearing Chen Guangke, Wu Ya complained, "It was precisely because you had too much sense of adventure that we both had stomach aches for several days afterward."

As soon as she finished speaking.

Chen Guangke said somewhat guiltily, "I admit the restaurant I took you to before was a bit unclean, but we can't let one bad experience scare us off forever, can we?"

"What if this restaurant is clean and delicious? Then we won't have to order takeout anymore!"

Shen Yan and Wu Ya still shook their heads.

"We're not going. If you want to go, go by yourself."

Chen Guangke was quite annoyed by the two of them.

He stood up and waved his hand, "I'll go by myself then! When I find something delicious, see if I bring you along to eat it!"

Shen Yan and Wu Ya were amused by his words.

"Hahahaha, then we'll wait and see if you actually manage to eat something delicious or not."

Chen Guangke snorted coldly and turned to leave.

After Chen Guangke left, Shen Yan and Wu Ya opened their takeout app together and started filtering restaurants.

Just as they were about to place their order, Chen Guangke returned.

"Oh? Why are you back? Didn't you say you were going out to eat?"

Shen Yan teased Chen Guangke while winking at him.

Unexpectedly, Chen Guangke wasn't embarrassed or angry, but instead said to him with a serious face, "Gu Xuantian is here to see you."

Gu Xuantian?

Shen Yan blinked, thinking Chen Guangke was playing a prank on him.

"What new prank is this?"

Chen Guangke rolled his eyes.

"Why would I play a prank on you? I'm telling the truth. He's waiting for you downstairs."

Seeing that Chen Guangke didn't look like he was joking, Shen Yan frowned and asked him, "Why is he waiting for me downstairs?"

Chen Guangke shook his head and replied, "I don't know. He stopped me as soon as he saw me. I told him I couldn't get through to you on the phone, so he asked me to come up and call you down."
