319: Chapter 319 Going on a Long Trip

As soon as these words were spoken, Director Lian's face turned pale at a speed visible to the naked eye. Her lips quivered as she wanted to say something, but she didn't know what to say.

Shen Yan couldn't be bothered to watch her continue her act. He impatiently raised an eyebrow at Director Lian and asked, "Anything else?"

Director Lian pursed her lips, glanced at the silent Liu Hui beside her, and answered timidly, "No, you two chat, you two chat..."

Only after Director Lian left the department did Liu Hui ask Shen Yan with a face full of joy, "Why did you come over?"

Hearing Liu Hui's question, Shen Yan pinched her soft cheek and replied, "Because I missed you."

As soon as the words fell, Liu Hui's face instantly turned red. She rubbed her face and said, "I missed you too."

After the two of them were lovey-dovey in the department for a while, Shen Yan finally told Liu Hui his purpose for coming.

"I'll probably be getting busier from tomorrow onwards. If you're free today, why don't we go out for a meal together and maybe walk around a bit?"

Shen Yan still remembered that he had told Liu Hui before that he would take her out for a good time.

Hearing this, a burst of surprised joy flashed in Liu Hui's eyes, but it quickly faded. She dejectedly fidgeted with her fingers and said to Shen Yan:

"It just happens to be my shift today... At most, I can only go out for a meal with you. Going for a stroll is impossible..."

Shen Yan sighed and rubbed Liu Hui's head, thinking:

This is what dating is like when both people are busy with work; it's always hard to find a suitable time to go out for a simple date.

It was the same with him and Chen Ling before.

However, back then, Chen Ling was already at his company, so they could always squeeze out some time to go on a date together.

Thinking this, he comforted Liu Hui, saying, "It's fine, a meal is okay too. Once I'm done with this busy period, I'll..."

At this point, he suddenly remembered the latest information the tycoon system had given him—the stone gambling market in T City.

"How many days off do you have left this month?"

Hearing the question, Liu Hui pitifully held up two fingers.

"I only have two days left this month. Why?"

Shen Yan smiled and said to Liu Hui, "I'm planning to go to T City in two days. Want to come with me?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Hui's eyes lit up.

"Yes! I'll go!"

Thus, the two of them agreed on a trip to T City in two days.

After setting the time and finishing their meal, Shen Yan left the hospital and returned to the company.

Just as he walked into his office, he saw Chen Guangke following right behind him.

"Did you install a tracker on me?"

Shen Yan looked at Chen Guangke with suspicion.

Chen Guangke felt innocent and spread his hands, replying to Shen Yan, "Your car is so flashy. As soon as they see it, everyone knows you've arrived at the company."

Shen Yan shook his head and asked, "What are you here for?"

Chen Guangke smiled, walked over to Shen Yan, and replied, "What else? To ask how you plan to deal with those people from the Branch Company."

"I originally went to ask Wu Ya, but I didn't expect her to say it has nothing to do with me and told me not to ask. No matter how much I asked after that, she wouldn't tell me."

After listening, Shen Yan nodded.

"That's good."

As the words fell.

Chen Guangke immediately got annoyed.

"I'm saying you two are being a bit disloyal. Aren't the three of us on the same side? Why are only the two of you plotting now and excluding me?"

Shen Yan replied, caught between laughter and tears, "What are you talking about? When did we plot any secrets?"

"We didn't tell you because you have too much on your plate, and we didn't want to add to your burden."

Chen Guangke curled his lip.

"What do you mean by not adding to my burden? Not telling me means you don't treat me as one of your own. Anyway, I don't care, just tell me how you plan to deal with that group from the Branch Company."

Shen Yan had no choice but to answer him, "Because I can't wait that long, I plan to use an entrapment operation."

"I'll have Wu Ya leak some information to bait them, and then find a few people to contact them and get them to sell the confidential data they have."

Chen Guangke chimed in, "And then you'll use that to blackmail them?"

Shen Yan nodded.

This was the fastest and most convenient method at the moment.

After learning how Shen Yan planned to deal with the group from the Branch Company, Chen Guangke stopped worrying about it.

He believed that Shen Yan and Wu Ya would definitely handle this perfectly.

Actually, he hadn't come to Shen Yan's office today just for the Branch Company's affairs, but also for the matter concerning Gu Hui and Mei Jinning.

He always felt that Shen Yan maneuvering between the two of them wasn't good, and he might unknowingly suffer a loss at their hands.

Thinking this, he cleared his throat and said to Shen Yan, "I say, once we finish those two projects, let's stop dealing with them. I always feel like they'll drag you into doing something bad."

"What if we get sold out and end up counting the money for them?"

Hearing this, Shen Yan looked at Chen Guangke with a faint smile.

"I've realized that your brain just goes on and off line."

Chen Guangke: "...Don't think that just because you put it poetically, I don't know you're saying I'm stupid!"

Shen Yan snorted and burst into laughter.

"Alright, I have a sense of propriety regarding this matter. I know what I'm doing."

Seeing that he couldn't persuade Shen Yan, Chen Guangke had no choice but to shut his mouth, pick up his documents, and go back to his work.

Time flew by.

In the blink of an eye, another two days passed.

Because T City was quite far from their location, Shen Yan packed quite a bit of luggage.

Just as he finished packing, Liu Hui arrived with her suitcase to find him.

"Are you all packed?"

Hearing Liu Hui's question, Shen Yan nodded.

After confirming that they had brought everything they needed, Shen Yan and Liu Hui set off.

Their plan was to drive to the airport first and then take a flight to T City.

The plan went very smoothly, and the two arrived at a five-star hotel in T City at ten o'clock the next morning.

As soon as they reached the hotel, they checked directly into the presidential suite.

"Wow, this room looks so big. How much does it cost per night?"

Hearing Liu Hui's question, Shen Yan smiled and replied, "Your boyfriend is very good at making money, so you don't need to ask how much it cost. We're out on this trip just to enjoy ourselves."

Liu Hui pouted.

"Even though you're right, I still think next time we could book a cheaper place, like a bed and breakfast or an inn with hot springs. That would feel more like a vacation."
