312: Chapter 312 Double Misunderstanding

"Don't worry, no matter how greedy they are, they won't be willing to sacrifice the rest of their lives in jail for that little money."

Wu Ya lowered her eyes and said nothing.

Chen Guangke didn't have their business acumen. After thinking for a long time, he scratched his head and said to Shen Yan and Wu Ya, "Oh, if it really doesn't work out, I can go back to the Branch Company. It'll be a good chance to deal with those troublesome people!"

"Oh, right, what about the old Employees who resigned earlier? Should we call them back to the Branch Company to help?"

Shen Yan looked at Wu Ya and said, "You're the general manager of the Branch Company, so you make the decisions."

Although he was still the owner of the Branch Company, since he had handed it over to Wu Ya, who was more skilled at managing HR Staff structure, he wouldn't interfere too much.

Wu Ya, flattered, said to Shen Yan, "Is it really okay to hand it completely over to me? What if I do something wrong?"

Shen Yan: "We've worked together for so long, how could I not trust your abilities? And I'm still here, aren't I?"

"If there's anything you can't handle later, feel free to call me anytime."

Wu Ya: "..."

What to do?

She felt like Shen Yan had just flirted with her again...

Shen Yan didn't know what Wu Ya was thinking.

Seeing Wu Ya's silence, he thought she was still feeling pressured.

"You don't need to overthink it. Anyway, I and Old Chen are here for everything. If there's anything you're unsure about, just call us anytime."

Wu Ya nodded, blushing.

"Okay, if there's anything I'm unsure about, I'll call you."

Chen Guangke weakly raised his hand from the side.

"And me! If there's anything you can't handle, you can call me too."

Wu Ya directly ignored Chen Guangke's words. She picked up her chopsticks and said, "Alright, if we don't eat now, the food on the table will get cold!"

Shen Yan and Chen Guangke nodded in agreement.

So, the three of them began to eat in the private room.

After dinner, the three of them went their separate ways, each returning home to their mothers.

Shen Yan originally intended to go straight home, but on the way, he received a call from Mei Jinning.

Since it was an unknown number, he didn't realize it was Mei Jinning's call when he answered.

It wasn't until she spoke that he belatedly realized it was Mei Jinning calling him.

"President Mei, what can I do for you?"

The other party chuckled softly before replying, "Doesn't President Shen think he owes me an explanation?"

Shen Yan was full of questions.

"What explanation do I owe you?"

Mei Jinning was silent for a few seconds before saying, "Come to Imperial Heaven to find me. I'm in the same room as last time."

After speaking, she hung up the phone directly.

Looking at the phone screen that had returned to the home page.

Shen Yan was silent for a few seconds, then finally sighed, resignedly turned the steering wheel, and headed back towards "Imperial Heaven".

Due to the long distance, it took him over an hour to reach the door of the private room at the bar.

"Knock knock knock"

After knocking, he waited outside.

For a long time, he heard no sound from inside.

"Knock knock knock"

He knocked again.

But still, no sound came from inside.

To avoid waiting outside like a fool, Shen Yan twisted the doorknob and pushed the door open directly.

"President Mei, why aren't you answering inside?"

Mei Jinning casually swirled her wine glass and replied, "The door wasn't locked, couldn't you just come in yourself?"

"Besides, you made me wait for over an hour, what's wrong with me making you wait a few minutes?"

Shen Yan: "...It was sudden. When you called me, I was very far from here."

Mei Jinning scoffed.

"I don't care about that. First, tell me why Gu Hui knows about my proposal to cooperate with you."

Upon hearing the question, Shen Yan frowned.

"Didn't you tell him about it?"

Mei Jinning curled her lips into a sneer and said, "In your eyes, am I such a foolish person?"

Shen Yan also sneered, "Then in your eyes, am I such a foolish person?"

As their words fell.

Both fell silent simultaneously.

Only at this moment did they realize that neither of them was foolish; it was Gu Hui who had tricked them both into revealing information.

Two minutes later.

Mei Jinning pressed her temples and said, "Never mind, please sit down first."

Shen Yan had no objection. He walked over and sat on the sofa, asking Mei Jinning, "Then do you still want to cooperate with me?"

Mei Jinning picked up her wine glass and took a sip.

"Why not?"

Shen Yan raised an eyebrow and asked, "May I ask what the reason is?"

Mei Jinning said with a half-smile, "Can't it be that my company just happens to want to develop a software, and I'm asking you to help me make one?"

Shen Yan burst out laughing.

"Please don't treat me like an idiot, like Gu Hui does, okay?"

Mei Jinning's eyes sparkled with interest.

"It seems you're not stupid. Do you know why Gu Hui wants to cooperate with you?"

Shen Yan shrugged.

He didn't reveal that he already knew Gu Hui was in the arms business, only saying:

"Although I don't know why he wants to cooperate with me, I know a proverb: when a weasel pays a New Year's call to a chicken, it's definitely up to no good."

As his words fell.

Mei Jinning seemed to have heard an incredibly funny joke.

Suddenly, she burst into laughter, bending over backward.

"Hahahahaha! You are so interesting, more interesting than anyone I've met before. I'm genuinely interested in you now!"

Shen Yan raised his hand and shook his head.

"I advise you not to be interested in me. After all, my charisma is immense, and I'm afraid you'll fall in love with me."

Mei Jinning: "..."

The atmosphere suddenly cooled. Shen Yan cleared his throat, his earlobes feeling hot.

The atmosphere was so good just now that he uncharacteristically told a bad joke, but Mei Jinning didn't play along at all.

Mei Jinning seemed not to notice Shen Yan's embarrassed expression. She very sincerely asked Shen Yan, "Is your charisma really that great? Can you really make me fall in love with you?"

At this, the one rendered speechless became Shen Yan.

"I was just telling a bad joke, don't take it seriously."

Mei Jinning scoffed.

"I thought you were serious. In these few minutes we've spent together, I have indeed recognized your charisma."

Shen Yan didn't want to extend the topic.

He turned his head to observe the private room, then said to Mei Jinning, "President Mei, you still haven't answered my previous question: why do you want to cooperate with me?"

Mei Jinning took another sip of wine from her red wine glass.

"I can tell you the answer, but only if you agree to cooperate with me first."

Shen Yan nodded without hesitation.

"Okay, I agree."

Mei Jinning raised her eyebrows in surprise.

"Are you sure?"
