309: Chapter 39 Lost and Found

Wu Ya glared at Chen Guangke and said angrily:

"This matter isn't that simple, I..."

At this point, she suddenly looked warily outside the office.

"Forget it, do you two have plans tonight? If not, I'll treat you to dinner."

Chen Guangke was full of questions.

Weren't they just talking about the HR structure?

Why did she suddenly bring up dinner?

"Let's not talk about dinner yet, tell me, the company..."

Before he could finish, Wu Ya glared at him again.

"Do you two have plans tonight or not?"

Even with Chen Guangke's thick skin, he sensed that Wu Ya repeatedly interrupting him was unusual.

"Uh... no?"

Wu Ya nodded and said, "Then I'll treat tonight. You pick the place, and I'll be there after work."

Chen Guangke didn't speak; he turned to look at Shen Yan.

Receiving Chen Guangke's look, Shen Yan cleared his throat and said, "Alright, then we'll head out first. You handle your business, see you tonight."

With that, he turned and opened the office door.

"Ah!"

A technical Employee in overalls fell to the ground.

"What are you doing here?"

The Employee scrambled up from the ground, saying nervously, "I... I originally wanted to find Manager Wu to sign a contract, but..."

Before he could finish, Chen Guangke impatiently cut him off.

"Stop lying without thinking! You were deliberately eavesdropping on our conversation, weren't you?!"

The Employee shook his head frantically.

"No, no!"

"I really didn't mean to, I... the contract is right here! If you don't believe me, look!"

He presented the contract with both hands.

Shen Yan didn't even look at it, stepping directly past the Employee and leaving.

Seeing this, Chen Guangke could only glare fiercely at the Employee, then followed Shen Yan's steps.

As soon as they walked out of the company gate, Chen Guangke turned to Shen Yan, puzzled, and asked, "That person was clearly eavesdropping on us. Why didn't you deal with him?"

Shen Yan answered while looking down to hail a taxi on the ride-hailing app, "Xiao Wu is managing the Branch Company now. If anyone should deal with him, it should be Xiao Wu."

Speaking of Wu Ya, Chen Guangke recalled Wu Ya's hesitant expression earlier. After a moment of thought, he said to Shen Yan, "With Wu Ya's capabilities, she shouldn't be unable to figure out Chenghu Company's current HR structure in two days."

"Do you think... there might be something in the Branch Company that we haven't grasped yet?"

Shen Yan put down his phone, glanced at Chen Guangke, and said, "Not bad, not too dumb."

Chen Guangke: "..."

Although he was praised, he wasn't happy at all.

Just then, Shen Yan's taxi arrived.

Shen Yan opened the back car door while waving at Chen Guangke, "Stop thinking about it. Wu Ya will tell us what she found out tonight. Remember to send me the address of the restaurant you found."

"Also, I need to go home, so you hail a taxi back to the company yourself."

With that, Shen Yan mercilessly closed the car door and slipped away.

Exhaust fumes and dust swirled around Chen Guangke.

He took a deep breath and roared in the direction Shen Yan had left, "You jerk! If you weren't coming back to the company with me, you should have said so earlier!!!"

...

Half an hour later, Shen Yan got out of the taxi at his doorstep.

"AYan!"

The voice came from behind him.

Shen Yan turned to look at Liu Hui, who was running towards him, and extended his arms to embrace her.

After they hugged for a while, Shen Yan finally released Liu Hui and asked her, "Why did you suddenly come home?"

Liu Hui looked up, revealing a shy smile.

"I missed you."

As she spoke, as if remembering something, she suddenly turned and led Shen Yan towards the parking lot.

"When I came, I also got your car back from Liu Tiao. See if there's anything wrong with it."

The words fell.

The two stopped.

Not far in front of them, the long-unseen mercedes-benz was parked in the parking lot, looking brand new and stylish.

Shen Yan raised his hand to touch Liu Hui's earlobe, saying in a helpless tone, "Your cousin has already fixed it, how could there be anything wrong with it?"

Liu Hui replied, blushing, "That guy is always unreliable. I was afraid he didn't fix it properly for you. If he didn't, I'd find someone else to fix it for you."

Hearing this, Shen Yan couldn't help but ruffle Liu Hui's hair.

"Even if it really wasn't fixed, shouldn't I be the one to find someone to fix it?"

"Oh, right, I haven't paid your cousin yet..."

Before she could finish, a hint of annoyance flashed across Liu Hui's face.

"Pay what? The fact that he tried to swindle you isn't over with me yet!"

Shen Yan hadn't expected Liu Hui to be so vengeful. He chuckled, "Alright, alright, he didn't succeed, did he? Since he didn't succeed, then give him what he's owed."

Liu Hui shook her head.

"Now you can't even give it to him if you want to. He was taken back by his parents to be lectured."

Shen Yan raised his eyebrows in surprise, not realizing that Liu Tiao was no longer in the area.

"So that's how it is. I was planning to find a time to ask him for the car."

Liu Hui didn't continue the topic. She took Shen Yan's hand and led him towards their home.

"Alright, let's not talk about this. I rarely come to see you, are you really just going to let me chat with you here?"

Shen Yan's eyes curved into a smile.

"How could that be?"

"But I have something to do tonight, so I might not be able to have dinner with you."

The words fell.

Liu Hui's disappointment was visible to the naked eye.

"Ah... what do you have to do? Is it very urgent? I rarely have a day off today, and I just wanted to have dinner with you..."

Shen Yan: "I'm sorry, today's matter is indeed quite important. I... how about this, next time you have a day off, I'll take you out to play?"

Liu Hui didn't say yes or no; she just smiled and continued to lead Shen Yan home.

After the two entered the house, they started playing with Youyou.

It wasn't until 6:30 PM that Shen Yan put on his shoes and left home.

"Are you sure you want to stay home with Youyou?"

Hearing Shen Yan's question, Liu Hui nodded vigorously. She replied to Shen Yan, "Youyou is too cute, I just want to eat with her."

Shen Yan was very pleased that Liu Hui could get along well with Youyou.

He had originally been wondering how he could mend the relationship between the two if Youyou and Liu Hui didn't get along.

Now it seemed he didn't need to worry about that.

Thinking this, he said to Liu Hui, "Alright, then I'll be going. If you want to go home after dinner, you can tell Auntie Fang."

Liu Hui nodded while pushing Shen Yan away.

"Alright, alright, I know. It's not my first time at your house. Didn't you say you have something very important to do? Go quickly."

Shen Yan nodded, turned, and left.

Half an hour later.

Shen Yan appeared at the entrance of a bustling small restaurant.
