267: Chapter 267 Intelligence Compensation

There were only the two of them in the private room.

No matter how soft Wu Ya's voice was, it still reached Shen Yan's ears.

He chuckled, "It's not that exaggerated. When you get back, I'll treat you to as many meals as you want to eat. How about that?"

Wu Ya broke into a smile through her tears.

"You said that! If you don't treat me until I'm full then, I'll... I'll..."

Resign?

No, no!

She couldn't resign. If she resigned, how could she still be Shen Yan's most important partner?

Then... beat Shen Yan up?

Forget it, she definitely wouldn't have the heart to lay a hand on him.

While contemplating, Shen Yan took the initiative to speak, "If I fail to keep treating you to meals, then may I go bankrupt."

Hearing this, Wu Ya was greatly alarmed.

"No!"

"Quickly say 'spit, spit, spit'!"

Seeing how anxious she was, Shen Yan couldn't help but smile, "What's the big deal? I'm not actually planning to go back on my promise."

Wu Ya pouted, a hint of dissatisfaction in her expression.

"No matter what, you can't say things like that. The Branch Company and Company Name are things you worked so hard to build up. I won't allow you to say such things."

Shen Yan felt a warmth in his heart and said, "Okay, then I won't say things like that. But I will definitely treat you to meals. I keep my word."

Wu Ya lowered her head and murmured, "Mm."

Shen Yan had already achieved the main purpose of asking Wu Ya out for a meal.

Next, their conversation became more casual.

They chatted about company matters for a while, and then about Shen Ya's matters.

Before they knew it, the meal was over.

Putting down his chopsticks, Wu Ya secretly glanced at Shen Yan and asked somewhat nervously,

"Are you busy later?"

Shen Yan nodded in reply, "I have an appointment, what's up?"

A look of disappointment appeared on Wu Ya's face.

"It's nothing... Then you go first. I'll stay here a while longer."

Shen Yan thought Wu Ya still had something to do there.

So he didn't say much more, paid the bill, and left.

Walking out of the restaurant, he glanced at the time.

It was just two in the afternoon.

Gu Hui had scheduled his meeting for four in the afternoon.

The location was the office building.

Just as he was thinking about whether to return to the company to handle some matters first, the system's electronic voice suddenly sounded.

[Ding! Special Mission Issued!]

[Special Mission: Please help Gu Mingming secure the company's right of inheritance]

[Due to the long time span of the mission, the system is issuing compensation rewards—advanced wealth intelligence. Do you wish to open it now?]

Shen Yan chose to open it without hesitation.

[advanced wealth intelligence: A-shares are currently undergoing reshuffling. In the next month, the stock with the largest increase among the NASDAQ stocks will be... Please invest judiciously and withdraw in time.]

Stock market intelligence again?

Previously, he had made a sum of money in the stock market through advanced wealth intelligence.

Because he didn't have much capital at that time, he only managed to rake in less than seven figures.

This time, he had quite a lot of liquid assets.

If the advanced wealth intelligence was correct and NASDAQ was about to surge, he could very likely earn several hundred million within a month.

Thinking about it, he immediately took out his phone to check the current situation of the A-share market.

Wow!

It was terrible.

On the screen, the stock trend for NASDAQ was continuously sluggish.

If it weren't for the advanced wealth intelligence, it would have been difficult for him to imagine NASDAQ surging in the next month.

Of course, he wasn't doubting the advanced wealth intelligence.

After all, past experience had fully shown him that the intelligence provided by the tycoon system never made mistakes.

He just found it very strange.

Judging by NASDAQ's current trajectory, unless something major happened, it was hard for it to surge within the next month.

Driven by curiosity, he searched for the NASDAQ stock.

Then he was surprised to find that it was a technology stock.

To be more specific, it was a product related to AI Artificial Intelligence.

"So... this AI Artificial Intelligence product is going to surge within the next month?"

Shen Yan muttered to himself while continuously sliding his phone screen.

Time ticked by second by second.

By the time he finished collecting information on the NASDAQ stock from various platforms, it was already three o'clock.

Oh no!

If he didn't hurry to the office building, he would be late!

Thinking about it, he immediately hailed a cab to the location he arranged with Gu Mingming.

Luckily, the traffic wasn't too bad.

He arrived at the office building right on time.

When he arrived, Gu Mingming had just gotten there too.

The two exchanged smiles and nods of greeting upon meeting.

As soon as they sat down, Gu Mingming went to pour a cup of tea and placed it in front of Shen Yan.

"How are the company's projects going recently?"

Hearing Gu Mingming's question, Shen Yan nodded and replied, "Quite well, everything is going smoothly."

He didn't mention the issue of capital shortage to Gu Mingming.

Because he knew that even if he told him, Gu Mingming couldn't solve it.

Gu Mingming also didn't dwell on the matter.

For him, since the money had already been invested, he didn't need to worry about the rest.

"Actually, the reason I asked you out today, besides discussing company projects, is that there's one other thing I want to talk to you about."

Shen Yan nodded, waiting for him to continue.

Gu Mingming paused for a moment, then asked him, "What do you think of my grandfather?"

Huh?

Why was he suddenly asking about Gu Hui?

Could it be that Gu Hui had told him about cooperating on the software project?

That's not right.

According to Gu Hui, Gu Mingming wasn't important to him. If he wasn't important, how could Gu Hui tell him about something that hadn't even been finalized yet?

Thinking this, he replied to Gu Mingming in a normal tone, "I've long admired his name, but I don't know him well."

Gu Mingming smiled and nodded.

"Even though he's my grandfather, I don't know him very well either."

"But last time he suddenly asked me to invite you out for a meal, I felt like he was quite interested in you. What do you think?"

Shen Yan narrowed his eyes and asked directly, "What are you trying to say?"

Gu Mingming cleared his throat.

"I see that my grandfather seems to appreciate you quite a bit. Aren't you really hoping for the second round of investment?"

"I think you could spend more time interacting with my grandfather. Maybe if he's happy, he'll give me a bit more money to continue the second round of investment."

As soon as he finished speaking,

Gu Mingming looked at Shen Yan expectantly.

He didn't think Shen Yan would refuse his suggestion.

Because a capital shortage was an inevitable situation. If Shen Yan wanted to continue the project, he had to find someone to invest in the second round as soon as possible.

"So the reason you asked me out is just so I can interact more with your grandfather?"

Gu Mingming nodded.

"That's right. I think this is a good idea. Of course, don't overthink it. I'm not forcing you to do this, I just think it would be beneficial for our project."

He emphasized the word "our" very heavily.

Because he intentionally wanted to tie himself and Shen Yan together.
