315: Chapter 315 Delaying Time

Shen Yan's plan was simple: first, make these guilty old Employees panic, then let them fall into disarray.

Originally, Wu Ya wanted to leave this matter directly to Shen Yan, but Shen Yan didn't want to take over the whole thing so ostentatiously.

He believed that the current general manager of the company was Wu Ya.

This matter should be handled by Wu Ya herself.

Therefore, in the end, it was still Wu Ya who managed the matter, with Shen Yan providing guidance behind the scenes.

4:00 PM.

Shen Yan arrived late at the Gu Corporation.

"Knock, knock, knock."

"Come in."

Shen Yan opened the office door and found Gu Hui sitting on the sofa waiting for him.

"Sorry, there was some traffic on the way, so I'm late."

Hearing this, Gu Hui shook his head and pointed toward the sofa.

"It's fine, take a seat."

Shen Yan nodded, walked over, and sat on the sofa.

"Does Chairman Gu have something to discuss with me?"

As he spoke, Gu Hui revealed a meaningful smile. He narrowed his eyes, looked at Shen Yan, and asked back, "Don't you know why I'm looking for you?"

Shen Yan raised an eyebrow.

"Should I know?"

Gu Hui didn't say anything, only picking up his teacup and taking a sip.

After a while, he took a deep breath and said to Shen Yan, "You've partnered with Mei Jinning."

This wasn't a question, but a statement.

Shen Yan blinked and asked, "How did you know?"

Gu Hui gave a cold laugh.

"You don't need to worry about how I know. Have you forgotten my advice? I told you not to cooperate with her."

Shen Yan also laughed.

"Chairman Gu, I believe I made myself very clear last time. I am a businessman, and a businessman cannot give up any project that can make money."

"I believe if it were you, you would also choose to cooperate with Mei Jinning. After all, no one would miss out on a windfall."

Gu Hui's brow furrowed tighter and tighter.

"I said, if you're short on money, I can..."

Before he could finish, Shen Yan directly interrupted Gu Hui and said to him:

"Money earned from business and money gifted by others are ultimately different. Besides... I still can't figure out why you would suddenly want to cooperate with me."

Gu Hui's expression turned stern.

"What do you mean by that?"

Shen Yan put away the smile on his face and replied, "My meaning is simple. We had never met before, and later we only met twice at most. I can't figure out the reason why you are so persistent about cooperating with me."

As his voice fell.

Gu Hui fell silent.

He seemed to be considering whether or not to reveal his purpose.

During his silence, Shen Yan leisurely poured himself some tea and drank it.

A few minutes later.

Gu Hui finally stirred.

"Fine, since you've asked, I won't hide it from you. My idea is simple: I want you to help me do more things."

Shen Yan nodded.

"I guessed as much, but I couldn't guess exactly what you want me to do."

Gu Hui slightly curled the corners of his mouth.

"You don't need to know that for now. You just need to work for me."

"As long as you're willing to work for me, I can promise you anything you want."

Shen Yan crossed his legs.

"Anything I want?"

Hearing the question, Gu Hui nodded.

"As long as it's within my power, I can give it."

"I remember that artificial intelligence project you have is very short on funds right now, isn't it?"

"As long as you're willing to work for me, I can invest in your company's artificial intelligence project and help your company's project to the best of my ability."

As soon as these words were spoken, Shen Yan's breathing immediately became a bit heavier.

Seeing that Shen Yan was moved by the bait he had thrown out, a hint of smugness instantly appeared on Gu Hui's face.

"If you're worried I'll go back on my word, we can sign a contract in black and white. In short, as long as you're willing to help me, I will definitely give you whatever is within my power."

To Gu Hui's surprise, Shen Yan did not immediately agree.

"I need to think about it."

Gu Hui's brow furrowed as he asked, "Think about what?"

Shen Yan shrugged and didn't answer Gu Hui's question. Instead, he asked back, "Can I ask why you chose me?"

After contemplating for a few seconds, Gu Hui replied, "I've investigated your background and found that besides your luck and vision being not quite up to par, your other abilities are very outstanding."

"If anyone else were in your situation, they would probably be crushed, but not only did you not give up, you even fought a beautiful turnaround battle."

"I believe a person like you is qualified for me to win over."

Shen Yan hadn't expected Gu Hui to praise him like this.

He scrutinized Gu Hui seriously, attempting to catch any hint of trickery on his face.

Gu Hui saw through Shen Yan's intention and said to him, "No need to look. No matter how much you ask, my answer will be the same. Every word I say comes from the bottom of my heart."

"You are indeed a talent, and it's precisely because you are a talent that I want to win you over."

Because he thinks he's a talent, he wants to recruit him for an illegal business?

Shen Yan narrowed his eyes and remained silent for a good while.

The second hand ticked forward bit by bit.

Gu Hui waited patiently for Shen Yan's answer.

After an unknown amount of time, Shen Yan finally spoke.

"Give me a bit more time to think about it."

Gu Hui's fingers paused slightly.

"Why? Is the sincerity I've shown not enough?"

Hearing Gu Hui's question, Shen Yan sneered in his heart.

He didn't believe for a second that Gu Hui was giving him so much money just because he was a talent and wanted to recruit him for an illegal business.

If it were really because he was a talent and he wanted to win him over, why would he give him so much money for no reason?

He wasn't a fool.

He could tell that Gu Hui had intentionally set up a scheme with others in the casino to give him money.

Besides that, Mei Jinning's behavior was also very strange.

From Gu Hui's behavior of introducing Mei Jinning to him, the two of them should be in league.

But later, Mei Jinning had asked him out privately to propose a partnership, saying her relationship with Gu Hui was not good.

Every single incident indicated that the relationship between Mei Jinning and Gu Hui was not that simple.

The things Gu Hui wanted him to do were also not that simple.

"How could that be? It's just that there are too many projects in the company right now, and I need some time to handle them."

As his voice fell.

Gu Hui's brow furrowed again.

"Then how long do you need?"

Shen Yan looked up and pondered for a moment before answering, "At least a month or two..."

Hearing this, Gu Hui blurted out, "No!"

Shen Yan blinked and asked back, "Why not?"

Gu Hui was at a loss for words.

He couldn't exactly say he was in urgent need of someone he could throw under the bus to take the blame, could he?!
