227: Chapter 227 Unreasonable Demands

As he spoke, his brow furrowed.

"You said he came to find you, he didn't try to threaten you, did he?"

"No way! I'm going down right now to tell him you're busy!"

Just as Chen Guangke was about to turn and head downstairs, Shen Yan called out to him.

"Wait! I'll go down with you!"

Hearing this, Chen Guangke looked utterly surprised.

"You're really going to see him?"

Shen Yan nodded.

"What else? He came all the way down to the company to find me. I can't keep hiding from him, can I?"

"Besides, I also want to know what he specifically came here to see me about."

As his words fell.

Wu Ya got up from the sofa.

"Then I'll go with you two!"

Shen Yan turned and refused Wu Ya.

"No need. Since he came alone to find me, there's no need for us to make a big fuss and have three people go see him."

Hearing him say that, Wu Ya could only nod and stay at the company.

Five minutes later.

Shen Yan and Chen Guangke appeared together downstairs in the company.

Shen Yan originally thought Gu Xuantian would be sitting in the lobby, but he didn't expect Gu Xuantian to be standing right by the glass door of the lobby waiting for them.

Not only that, but Gu Xuantian was also wearing an extremely flashy suit.

Why was it called an extremely flashy suit?

Because the suit's color was pink and it was sparkling.

If it were night right now, Gu Xuantian standing there would be the "brightest" guy in the entire company.

"When you first saw him, was he wearing this outfit?"

Hearing Shen Yan's question, Chen Guangke replied with an ineffable expression: "Yes. Do rich people like wearing this now? But you don't like wearing this kind of thing either."

Shen Yan cleared his throat near his mouth and led Chen Guangke forward to greet Gu Xuantian.

"CEO Gu."

Hearing the sound, Gu Xuantian turned around.

"CEO Shen sure has some airs, making me wait downstairs at your company for so long."

Shen Yan: "...CEO Gu should have just told the receptionist you were here. As long as you had, I definitely would have let you wait in the lounge next to my office."

Gu Xuantian snorted coldly and waved his hand: "How would I know? If it weren't for you not answering my calls, I wouldn't have run down to your company to wait for you."

As soon as this was mentioned, his face was filled with resentment.

"Why didn't you answer my call?"

"Don't tell me you've really allied with Gu Mingming?"

Alliance?

Shen Yan narrowed his eyes slightly and replied: "Because I don't really like answering calls from strangers. I believe CEO Gu doesn't have that habit either."

Gu Xuantian's eyes widened, and he asked him in surprise: "You actually dared not save my number?!"

Shen Yan: "..."

Chen Guangke: "..."

After a long silence, Shen Yan finally spoke: "If I remember correctly, we shouldn't have exchanged contact information, right?"

Gu Xuantian replied with dissatisfaction: "Even if we haven't exchanged contact information, you should have found out my number in advance and respectfully saved my mobile number in your contacts!"

Chen Guangke couldn't hold back. He scratched his head and looked at Gu Xuantian with the look one gives an idiot, asking him: "Hey you, is there something wrong with your brain?"

"We don't know each other, and you inexplicably mocked us before, then suddenly ran down to the company to find us. What on earth do you want?"

Gu Xuantian glanced at Chen Guangke dismissively, ignoring him completely, and said directly to Shen Yan: "I now demand that you terminate your contract with Gu Mingming."

Shen Yan suspected he misheard. He asked Gu Xuantian in disbelief: "What did you say?"

Gu Xuantian repeated impatiently: "I told you to terminate the contract relationship with Gu Mingming and reject his dice roll. Did you understand me?!"

Shen Yan closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

"CEO Gu, we are about to go eat now. We don't have the mood to listen to your nonsense here."

"If you have nothing else, we'll be leaving now."

After speaking, Shen Yan planned to lead Chen Guangke out of the company building.

Just as the two of them were about to leave, Gu Xuantian stopped them directly.

"If you don't terminate the cooperation with him, I will make sure you cannot remain in the field of Artificial Intelligence!"

As soon as these words came out, Shen Yan and Chen Guangke immediately stopped in their tracks.

Shen Yan turned to Gu Xuantian and said: "Make it so we can't remain in the field of Artificial Intelligence?"

Seeing that they reacted to this, Gu Xuantian looked smug.

"That's right. You should know what Gu Corporation represents in the field of Artificial Intelligence. If you don't do as I say, I'll tell you, I can make your... at any time..."

As he said this, Gu Xuantian looked over the lobby with a look of disdain.

"...trash company go bankrupt."

As the words fell, Shen Yan smiled.

"Then I'd like to ask CEO Gu, if we terminate the cooperation with Gu Mingming, what benefits will we receive?"

Gu Xuantian frowned and thought for a moment.

"If you agree, then I can consider allocating some funds to invest in your company."

Shen Yan crossed his arms and asked Gu Xuantian with a look of great interest: "Oh? How much is 'some funds'?"

Gu Xuantian replied impatiently: "I am currently investing in another project, so I don't know how much capital will be left, but no matter what, it will be tens of millions."

Tens of millions?

Was he trying to hand out charity to beggars?

Shen Yan dropped the smile on his face and said to Gu Xuantian: "Then CEO Gu, please go back."

Hearing this, Gu Xuantian became angry.

He raised his hand and pointed his finger at the noses of Chen Guangke and Shen Yan: "For your little broken company, giving you tens of millions is already very generous!"

"Don't really think your project is that amazing. I'm telling you, it's a miracle if a small broken company like yours can succeed!"

"I came to find you today only to advise you not to cooperate with someone like Gu Mingming. If you cooperate with him, the only person who will suffer is you!"

Shen Yan calmly retorted: "Then CEO Gu, may I ask why cooperating with Gu Mingming means we will suffer?"

Gu Xuantian was too lazy to answer his question anymore.

"You can investigate it yourselves. In any case, I'm putting it on the line: if you don't do as I say, I will have Gu Corporation take action against you, and within minutes, I'll make sure you can't remain in this field!"

Seeing that he kept bringing up making them unable to remain in the field, Shen Yan raised an eyebrow and analyzed:

"CEO Gu, you keep saying that if we cooperate with Gu Mingming, we will suffer misfortune. But ultimately, who is making the people who cooperate with Gu Mingming suffer? It's you, right?"
