251: Chapter 251 Overwhelmed with Praise

Shen Yan curled his lips and replied:

"Of course not. Since he wants to use such a low-class method, then I will return the favor in kind."

"Help me look up Gu Xuantian's mobile number, and then help me buy some phone numbers online."

Chen Guangke understood.

Shen Yan was planning to retaliate against Gu Xuantian using the same method.

"Okay, no problem. I'll go buy them for you in a bit."

After listening, Shen Yan added: "Remember to pay close attention to the matters Jiang Yuan is handling. Help him find an assistant who can actually help him as soon as possible."

Chen Guangke replied perfunctorily: "Got it, got it. I'll instruct HR Staff."

"Seriously, you aren't this attentive when it comes to my affairs."

Shen Yan frowned: "Why are you being so melodramatic now, like a little girl?"

Chen Guangke was full of grievances.

"It's clearly you showing favoritism! Look how busy I am, and you never even thought about finding me an assistant!"

Shen Yan raised a hand and pressed his temples.

"Alright, alright, whatever you say is right. Hurry up and get things done."

Chen Guangke: "... You're the boss, whatever you say goes. I'm leaving!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned and left.

Just as Chen Guangke left, Wu Ya came in.

When she entered, she was holding a small gift box.

"What is this?"

Hearing the question, Wu Ya lowered her head and smiled shyly, saying: "This is a gift I plan to give your sister. Can you take a look and see if it's appropriate?"

Shen Yan was a bit stunned.

"You're giving a gift to my sister, why do you need me to check if it's appropriate?"

Wu Ya: "Because I've never met your sister, and I don't know what she likes, so I wanted to bring it over for you to see first."

Shen Yan waved his hand.

"Although she is my sister, I don't know what she likes either. Instead of asking me, you might as well ask your friends."

"Oh, right. What your sister said that was unpleasant while chatting with you—please don't take it to heart."

Wu Ya patted her chest and guaranteed: "Don't worry, I'm very good at chatting, and I don't think your sister would say anything unpleasant to me."

Shen Yan teased: "How do you know my sister wouldn't say unpleasant things? Maybe she's just the type of person who likes to say harsh words."

Wu Ya laughed a few times before replying: "Stop joking with me. She's your sister. I don't believe someone as good as you would have a sister with a bad temper."

Hearing this, Shen Yan thought carefully and felt that Wu Ya was right. His sister was indeed very good.

Not only was she a good person, but she also had a good personality. It was just that when facing him, she always had a tendency to say things she didn't mean.

Thinking this, he sighed again.

"I'll leave my sister's matter to you."

Wu Ya nodded: "Don't worry. We are close in age, so I should be able to understand what she's thinking."

The topic ended there.

Shen Yan expected Wu Ya to leave the office, but unexpectedly, she hadn't turned to leave yet.

He looked up at Wu Ya and asked with a puzzled expression: "Is there anything else?"

Wu Ya shifted her gaze away from him while taking out another gift box from her pocket.

"I... I went to the night market yesterday. I originally intended to buy a meeting gift for your sister, but while browsing, I suddenly saw a gift that seemed quite suitable for you..."

Saying this, she placed the box in her hand on Shen Yan's desk and continued: "Since I bought it, you should just accept it. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now. Goodbye!"

Speaking those words at lightning speed, Wu Ya fled the office as if being chased by a ghost.

Looking at the neatly placed gift box in front of him, Shen Yan started to get a headache.

He was already planning to marry Liu Hui and did not want to give Wu Ya any unrealistic fantasies.

But no matter how he rejected Wu Ya, she insisted on liking him and even revealed her affection from time to time, which made him feel deeply helpless.

Picking up the gift in front of him, Shen Yan carefully opened the box and found a black necktie inside.

The brand of the tie was one he had always liked to use.

It was expensive and generally only available in high-end luxury mall boutiques.

"Sigh..."

Placing the tie back into the box, Shen Yan leaned back in his chair and began to think about how to clearly tell Wu Ya and make her stop liking him.

At this moment, on the other side.

Gu Hui had just gotten off the plane when he called his secretary.

"Have Gu Mingming come to my office."

Secretary: "CEO Gu, he is in the company. Should I have him wait in your office now?"

Gu Hui glanced at the time and replied: "Have him go wait now. I should arrive in about an hour and a half."

The secretary did not comment on making Gu Mingming wait for an hour and a half.

He acknowledged the instruction and hung up the phone to call Gu Mingming.

An hour and a half later.

Gu Hui finally arrived at the company, looking travel-worn.

As soon as he entered his office, he saw a somewhat thin figure sitting on the sofa.

"Mingming."

As soon as Gu Mingming saw him, he immediately stood up and said to him: "Grandpa."

Though he said Grandpa, Gu Hui did not look like a man in his sixties at all.

He was strong, had a full head of black hair, and looked like he was just over fifty.

Gu Hui glanced at him, turned, and walked to the side of the sofa to sit down.

Seeing him sit down, Gu Mingming immediately went to the side to pour him tea.

Only after Gu Mingming placed a cup of hot tea in front of him did Gu Hui slightly nod to signal Gu Mingming to sit down.

Gu Mingming sat opposite Gu Hui and asked nervously: "Grandpa, what instructions do you have for calling me here?"

Gu Hui picked up the hot tea in front of him, blew on it, took a sip, and then asked Gu Mingming in return: "How have things been recently?"

Because Gu Mingming was an illegitimate son, and he was only brought back at the age of sixteen, Gu Mingming rarely received Gu Hui's concern.

He replied to Gu Hui, overwhelmed by the favor: "Quite well. Everyone in the company takes good care of me, and I also..."

Before he could finish speaking, Gu Hui directly interrupted him.

"You don't need to speak well of them in front of me. I know exactly what kind of people they are. You haven't been spared from being deliberately made difficult recently, have you?"

Gu Mingming was momentarily speechless.

He knew Gu Hui must know about the difficulties he faced at the company.

But he hadn't expected Gu Hui to expose the matter so directly.

After hesitating for a long time, he nodded to Gu Hui and replied: "The elders have indeed given me some tempering, but I know they are doing it for my own good. After all, I am one of the successors. Giving me a bit more tempering is also to give me room to grow."

Gu Hui curled his lips and teased: "Oh? So you think others making things difficult for you is to give you room to grow? In that case, since you want room to grow so much, how about I give you a little more tempering?"
