318: Chapter 318 Debt of Favor

"I'll just ask you one thing: If I help you become the Chairman of the Gu Group, what can you give me?"

Hearing this, Gu Mingming's eyes widened.

He hadn't expected Shen Yan to be even more arrogant than him, bringing up the position of Chairman of the Gu Group as soon as he spoke.

"I... if I really can become the Chairman of the Gu Group, no matter what you need help with later, as long as it's something I can help with, I will definitely give it my all!"

Shen Yan nodded.

He already had a special mission to help Gu Mingming become the Chairman of the Gu Group.

So regardless of what promise Gu Mingming made, he was going to help him reach that position anyway.

"Fine, then it's settled. I'll go talk to Gu Hui for you and make sure you stay within the Gu Corporation."

Gu Mingming hadn't expected his goal to be accomplished so smoothly.

With his mouth agape, he cautiously asked Shen Yan, "So, what is our next plan?"

"Before I came here, Gu Xuantian already put out the word that as soon as I arrived, he'd find someone to mess with me. If I continue to stay in the company, I doubt he'll let it go."

Hearing this, a cold sneer appeared on Shen Yan's face.

"He's just one Gu Xuantian. He's not the Chairman of the Gu Group, so why are you so wary of him?"

"Don't worry, he won't be able to stir up any trouble."

Gu Mingming didn't know where Shen Yan's confidence came from.

From his perspective, he felt that Shen Yan's words were far too brash.

As someone who had entered the Gu Corporation halfway through, no one knew the methods of the Chairman and Gu Xuantian better than him.

According to what he knew, if the Chairman hadn't called Gu Xuantian into his office alone to lecture him for half an hour, Gu Xuantian would have already moved against Shen Yan's company by now.

It was precisely because he knew this inside information that he decided to take a gamble and come to Shen Yan, asking him to talk to Gu Hui so he could stay in the company.

But regardless of where Shen Yan's confidence originated, at least his goal in coming here had been achieved.

As long as he could continue to stay in the Gu Corporation, he would have the chance to keep operating behind the scenes.

Thinking this, he stood up to thank Shen Yan.

"Regardless, I'll remember this favor."

"If you need my help with anything later, just say the word. As long as I can help, I definitely will."

Hearing this, Shen Yan smiled and accepted.

The two walked out of the office together. After Shen Yan saw Gu Mingming downstairs, he hailed a taxi and left.

Half an hour later.

He appeared at the entrance of the hospital where Liu Hui worked.

Since he had been here before, he navigated the way easily and arrived directly at the department where Liu Hui was on shift.

Just as he was about to knock and enter, the voice of that Director Lian suddenly came from inside.

"Liu Hui, I'm telling you, why are you so stubborn!"

"How long have I been begging you? Why won't you just let me meet your boyfriend?!"

As the words fell.

Liu Hui's voice also drifted out from the department office.

"Haven't I already said it? He didn't take that matter to heart at all."

Director Lian clicked her tongue, her tone full of dissatisfaction.

"You aren't your boyfriend, how do you know he didn't take it to heart? Anyway, I don't care, you hurry up and tell him to find a time to have a meal with us."

"Don't worry, this time we'll definitely find a high-end restaurant and make sure he eats and drinks well!"

Liu Hui seemed extremely exasperated, her voice sounding a bit weak.

"The hospital has been so busy lately, where would I find the time to take him out for a meal?"

Director Lian gave a laugh.

"Just because you don't have time doesn't mean he doesn't. If it really doesn't work out, just let him have dinner with the two of us alone!"

Shen Yan couldn't listen any longer and pushed the door open directly.

"A Hui."

Hearing his voice, Liu Hui looked up in surprise.

"AYan! Why are you here?!"

Director Lian was also pleasantly surprised.

"Oh my! Isn't this President Shen! Long time no see!"

Shen Yan walked over and ruffled Liu Hui's hair, then turned to Director Lian with a fake smile. "I just heard you at the door saying you wanted to take me out for a meal?"

Director Lian nodded and said in a blaming tone, "It's all Liu Hui's fault. We asked her to invite you out so we could treat you to an apologetic meal, but after all this time, she still hasn't mentioned it to you."

"Since you're here to see her today, and my husband and I happen to be free, why don't we all go out for a meal?"

Shen Yan replied with a half-smile, "Is that so? But I'm not free today."

Hearing this, Director Lian said with a face full of regret, "You're not free today... then are you free tomorrow?"

Shen Yan smiled. "Not only am I not free today, I'm not free tomorrow, nor the day after, nor the day after that. As long as it's you asking, I'll never be free. Have I made myself clear now?"

As the words fell.

The expression on Director Lian's face froze completely.

"Ah... is it because I said something wrong last time, so..."

Before she could finish, Shen Yan interrupted her directly.

"Yes, you said something wrong. So what are you going to do? Are you going to cut off your tongue?"

"Stop harassing my girlfriend. If you harass her again, then I'll just have to..."

At this point, Shen Yan scanned Director Lian from head to toe and asked, "I didn't remember last time—what did you say your husband does?"

Director Lian swallowed hard, not daring to answer the question.

Ever since she had parted ways with Shen Yan and Liu Hui last time, she had asked someone to look into Shen Yan's background.

It would have been better if she hadn't; once she did, she found it was incredible.

Shen Yan was not only the owner of a listed company but also the project developer of the most popular recruitment software currently available!

She and her husband were only middle-class; they were nothing like a boss with a net worth of hundreds of millions like Shen Yan.

After realizing she might have offended a big shot she couldn't afford to provoke, she had been constantly anxious. She wanted Liu Hui to call her boyfriend out for a meal to apologize and see if they could turn hostility into friendship.

To her surprise, Liu Hui didn't appreciate her gesture at all.

She not only rejected her overtures but also repeatedly refused the request to call Shen Yan out for dinner.

It was simply outrageous!

But even so, she hadn't given up any chance to connect with a big shot.

Even though Shen Yan himself had already personally rejected her, she didn't plan to just give up on the opportunity to connect with the owner of a listed company.

"President Shen, I really didn't mean anything else..."

"Last time was because I was in a bad mood, and my husband is the type who indulges me, so the two of us said so many offensive things to you."

"Cutting off my own tongue is definitely impossible, but my husband and I can treat you to a meal that's even better than last time!"

"Please agree for Liu Hui's sake..."

After hearing this, Shen Yan sneered and ridiculed, "The likes of you think you're worthy of using Liu Hui's name?"
