237: Chapter 237 Date Day

He decided to go home first to freshen up, and then go to Liu Hui's hospital to find her.

Just as his plan was perfectly laid out, his phone suddenly rang jarringly.

Shen Yan glanced at the phone screen and saw that the incoming call was from an unknown number.

He originally didn't want to answer, but based on his previous experience with Gu Xuantian calling, he picked it up anyway.

After all, it wouldn't be good if he missed an important call.

"Who is this?"

A clear, deep voice entered the phone.

There was silence on the other end for a long time.

Just as he thought the signal was bad and the other person hadn't heard him, the other party suddenly hung up.

"..."

What the heck?

Shen Yan frowned and immediately added the unknown number to his blacklist.

He had finally managed to take a day off today.

He didn't want some inexplicable matter to affect his mood.

Half an hour later, he arrived back at his home.

Although he had wanted to give himself time to rest, upon returning home, he couldn't stop thinking about the confidential wealth intelligence.

Normally, wealth intelligence would only provide information that could bring him money-making opportunities.

This time, the confidential wealth intelligence stated that Gu Corporation was recently engaging in an arms deal with a mysterious organization, with the transaction amount reaching tens of billions...

What was this supposed to mean for him?

Was he supposed to interfere with the transaction, or was he supposed to get into the arms trade as well?

Shen Yan thought for a long time but couldn't come up with an answer. He felt that both answers he came up with were not the kind of intelligence the tycoon system would give him.

Time ticked by, minute by minute.

When he finished washing up again and walked out of his front door, it was already afternoon.

Because he didn't know if Liu Hui was currently in surgery, he called her first.

To his surprise, Liu Hui answered his call instantly.

"Why are you calling me at this time?"

Hearing Liu Hui's question, Shen Yan smiled and replied, "I decided to take a day off today to come see you. Are you free?"

Liu Hui's surprised voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Of course, I am!"

"It just so happens that I'm not on duty today. I'll tell my colleagues in a bit and leave work early from the hospital..."

Before she could finish speaking, Shen Yan told Liu Hui, "No need. I'll wait and come to the hospital to find you, and we can leave work together."

Since he had already said that, Liu Hui naturally wouldn't object.

She replied to Shen Yan with immense joy, "Okay, then come find me. I'm on the second floor."

Shen Yan: "Alright, wait for me."

He hung up the phone.

Shen Yan walked to the parking lot.

Looking at the empty parking space in front of him.

Shen Yan suddenly remembered that his car had been totaled and sent for repairs.

Without a car, he couldn't drive himself to the hospital.

Shen Yan thought for a moment and decided to ask Chen Guangke to borrow a car.

"Hey, Old Chen, where are your car keys?"

Chen Guangke asked Shen Yan back with a confused expression, "Why do you need a car? Didn't you go back to rest?"

Shen Yan replied to Chen Guangke, "When did I say I was going back to rest? I said I was taking a day off."

"I need to go to the hospital to pick up Liu Hui later, and it's inconvenient without a car. Where are your keys? I'll get them."

As soon as he finished speaking.

A sly laugh immediately rang out from the other end of the line.

"Hehehe! So you want to borrow a car to go on a date!"

Shen Yan made a "tsk" sound and asked impatiently, "Are you lending it or not? If you don't, I'll go borrow from someone else."

How could Chen Guangke possibly refuse?

"Lend, lend, lend!"

"But I haven't driven my car in a long time. If you want to borrow it, you'll probably have to get gas and wash the car while driving."

Shen Yan: "..."

If he had known this, he shouldn't have called Chen Guangke!

Thinking this, he directly told Chen Guangke, "Forget it, don't bother lending me the car. I'll just go rent one."

Chen Guangke said dissatisfiedly, "What do you mean by that? Are you looking down on my car?"

Shen Yan's tone became even more displeased, "Shouldn't I look down on your car? Having to get gas and wash your car—am I your Nanny?"

Chen Guangke replied somewhat guiltily, "Well, what can I do? Taking the subway is faster than driving..."

Shen Yan couldn't be bothered to continue communicating with him.

He briefly dealt with Chen Guangke with a few words and then hung up the phone directly to take a taxi to the rental car place.

His home wasn't far from the rental car agency.

Only about a ten-minute journey.

"Bang!"

Closing the car door.

Shen Yan stepped into the rental agency.

"Hello, I'd like to rent a car."

As soon as he said this, the salesperson in the agency immediately walked towards his location.

"Hello, sir, what kind of car would you like to drive?"

Hearing the salesperson's question, Shen Yan thought for a moment and replied, "It doesn't need to be anything fancy, just an ordinary car that runs, and it shouldn't be ugly."

The salesperson had been in the car rental business for a long time and rarely heard such low requirements.

He paused for a moment before asking Shen Yan, "Sir, are you sure you only need a car that an ordinary person can drive, and one that isn't ugly? Do you have no requirements for the type of car?"

Seeing the salesperson's surprised look, Shen Yan smiled and replied, "That's right, I have no requirements for the type of car, as long as it runs is fine."

Saying this, to avoid any misunderstanding from the salesperson, he added, "My car broke down, so I don't have transportation temporarily, which is why I came to rent a car."

The salesperson finally understood.

He resumed his previous enthusiastic demeanor and introduced Shen Yan to all the types of cars and prices available in the store.

"Well, sir, because the car owners we work with focus on high-end luxury, simply put, most of the cars we offer are luxury vehicles, so we might not be able to meet your requirements..."

Actually, whether it was a luxury car or an ordinary car, it was all the same to Shen Yan.

But he didn't want to waste time going to other rental agencies.

"Fine, then just find me the cheapest car you have."

The salesperson nodded and immediately complied.

Fifteen minutes later, Shen Yan began driving the car he rented from the agency towards the hospital.

Because he had contacted Liu Hui in advance, he easily found her sitting in her office on the second floor.

"Why did you change departments today?"

As soon as he entered, Shen Yan naturally hugged Liu Hui and asked her intimately.

Liu Hui, buried in his embrace, replied to him, "A colleague in this department asked for a few days off due to personal matters, so I came over to cover for him."

Saying that, she suddenly broke free from Shen Yan's embrace and asked him, "Are you feeling unwell today?"

Shen Yan blinked and asked Liu Hui with confusion, "Why do you ask that?"

Liu Hui asked Shen Yan back, "Then why did you suddenly take the day off today?"
