316: Chapter 316 Stirring up the snake

After thinking for a moment, Gu Hui softened his tone and replied to Shen Yan, "Don't misunderstand, I don't mean anything else. I just feel it would be a great pity to miss out on a talent like you..."

Shen Yan nodded.

"I can understand, but I really am stretched too thin right now."

As his voice fell.

Gu Hui fell silent once more.

He was weighing whether Shen Yan was worth waiting a month for.

After pondering for a good while, he decided to wait that month.

The reason he made this decision was not just because Shen Yan was a talent, but also because he didn't want his efforts to come to nothing, so he decided to give Shen Yan a little more time.

"Fine, then I'll wait for you to reconsider. I hope you can make the right decision."

Hearing this, Shen Yan smiled and nodded, saying, "Rest assured, I will definitely think it through before giving you a reply."

After speaking, he prepared to get up and leave.

Just as he was about to leave, Gu Hui suddenly asked from behind him.

"Do you want to go see your younger sister?"

As soon as these words came out, Shen Yan immediately stopped in his tracks.

He hadn't expected Gu Hui to actually know his sister was working at Gu Corporation.

But even if he knew, it didn't matter.

In any case, his sister was currently only working as a conference service staff member.

Thinking this, he turned his head and replied to Gu Hui with a smile, "Better not, I'm afraid of affecting her work."

Gu Hui picked up the Employee files in his hand and said, "I've seen your sister's profile. With her abilities, working as a conference service staff in our corporation is a bit of a waste of talent."

Shen Yan blinked slowly.

Although he also felt that his sister was overqualified for conference service, he wasn't so blindly arrogant as to think she could be a manager or department head at Gu Corporation.

"Chairman Gu, let's not beat around the bush. I know my sister's abilities well. Just let her do her own thing. Don't let matters between us affect her work."

Hearing this, Gu Hui laughed loudly.

"I know, I know. I was just mentioning it. Why are you so anxious? Don't worry, I would never use my position for personal ends."

Shen Yan nodded and said, "Fine, with those words from you, I'm relieved. I'll be going then."

After speaking, he turned and left.

As soon as he left, the smile on Gu Hui's face vanished completely.

He had thought that by giving Shen Yan some money, Shen Yan would obediently become a blade in his hand, but he hadn't expected Shen Yan to be so uncontrollable.

Not only did he refuse to be a blade, but he was also constantly hooking up with Mei Jinning behind his back.

To prevent any accidents in his plan, Gu Hui intended to make two-handed preparations.

Shen Yan was completely unaware of this.

He took the elevator straight to the lobby and walked out of Gu Corporation.

Since the chat hadn't been long, it was only just 4:30 when he walked out.

[Ding!]

A notification sound rang out.

Shen Yan took a look and found it was a message from Wu Ya.

[Brother Shen, I've already warned those people. They've behaved themselves quite a bit now.]

After reading it, Shen Yan thought for a moment and then typed into the reply box.

[Well done. Next, leak some rumors in the company saying we're preparing for a major purge of Employees.]

Just after sending the message, Wu Ya replied to him instantly.

[Won't that be beating the grass to startle the snake?]

Shen Yan replied while walking forward:

[The point is exactly to startle the snake.]

After sending that, Wu Ya didn't reply again.

Seeing this, Shen Yan put away his phone and drove to Fuchen.

...

Since Liu Hui came to see Shen Yan during her last break, Shen Yan hadn't seen her again.

He had sent messages to Liu Hui, but she said she had been busy lately and her team leader wouldn't allow breaks, so aside from messaging and calling, he hadn't met with Liu Hui again.

Because Wu Ya had spread news of layoffs at the Branch Company, everyone in the company was on edge, especially those veteran Employees.

They kept feeling that Wu Ya knew about them taking kickbacks and wanted to use this to fire them, so they went to probe Wu Ya for information every few days.

Wu Ya was annoyed to death by them and constantly messaged Shen Yan asking when they would take action.

[Ding!]

[Brother Shen, when are we actually going to start? I'm really being annoyed to death by them. They came to see me three times this morning alone!]

Seeing the message Wu Ya sent, Shen Yan smiled and clicked the chat box to reply:

[Wait a bit longer. We'll act when they can't hold it in anymore.]

Wu Ya replied with an emoji.

[Depressed.jpg]

[I want to deal with them all right now. By the way, what about Gu Hui's project? Three or four days have already passed. It's impossible to finish the project in the remaining time.]

Shen Yan replied while looking through files:

[Don't worry, I've already spoken to Gu Hui about the project. He'll give us a little more time.]

Wu Ya replied instantly.

[StarryEyes.jpg]

[As expected of you, so impressive! /ThumbsUp.jpg]

Shen Yan glanced at the reply and casually sent a grinning emoji.

Just after sending it, his phone rang. It was a call from Gu Mingming.

Because the Artificial Intelligence project had been running normally, Gu Mingming and Shen Yan basically hadn't had much contact.

Seeing the other party call him for once, Shen Yan was somewhat surprised. He picked up the phone and asked the person on the other end, "CEO Gu?"

Gu Mingming's voice was a bit low, as if he were in a bad mood.

"It's me. Are you free today? Can we come out and talk?"

Shen Yan glanced at the time; it was only 4:30 PM. After thinking for a moment, he replied, "I can, but you'll probably have to wait for me a bit. I need to hold a short meeting."

Gu Mingming had no objection.

"No problem, I can wait for you in your company's lounge."

Shen Yan gave an "mm."

After hanging up the phone, he put it down, picked up his materials, and went to the conference room.

Since there were now Gu Hui's project and Mei Jinning's project to work on, he would occasionally gather the Employees from the headquarters' Technology Department to discuss these two projects.

By the time he finished the meeting and walked out of the conference room, it was already 6:30.

"My car is restricted today. Do you want to go take the subway with me?"

Chen Guangke didn't know Gu Mingming had come to see Shen Yan.

He thought Shen Yan was picking up his phone to leave the company, so he walked over to Shen Yan to ask.

Hearing Chen Guangke's question, Shen Yan shook his head and replied, "I won't be going. You go ahead."

Chen Guangke looked confused.

"Haven't you already finished your work? Why are you still staying at the company?"

Shen Yan replied, "Gu Mingming came to see me. He probably has something to talk about. You can just head back first."

Chen Guangke's eyes widened.

"What did he come to see you for? Doesn't he usually ignore our company's project matters?"
