346: Chapter 346 Fully Prepared

"Now that I'm unwilling to work for you, you must be extremely anxious, right?"

The Supporting Male Character's expression froze as his sore spot was hit.

Seeing his reaction, Shen Yan immediately knew he guessed correctly. He chuckled softly a few times before saying, "Although we've already fallen out, I still wish you the best of luck~"

As his voice faded,

He stood up, tidied his clothes, and then turned to leave.

Not long after he left,

The sound of things being smashed came from the office.

Shen Yan had no idea that Gu Hui was so enraged by him that he started smashing things in his office to vent.

Just as he was about to drive back to the company, his phone rang. It was a message from Shen Ya.

【Brother, you came to my company?】

Seeing this message, Shen Yan hesitated for a moment, then chose to call Shen Ya directly.

Shen Ya answered the call just a few seconds after he dialed.

"Why did you call me directly?"

Hearing the question, Shen Yan replied to Shen Ya, "I felt like calling. Are you free to talk right now? Is anyone around you?"

Shen Ya replied, "A colleague is next to me. I think I saw you near the elevator just now, but you walked a bit fast, so I wasn't sure if it was you. Why didn't you tell me when you came over..."

Shen Yan found it both funny and exasperating. "I was there to handle some business, why would I tell you?"

Shen Ya clicked her tongue.

"Handling business is fine, but it wouldn't hurt for you to say hello to me."

After chatting for a while, Shen Yan suddenly asked Shen Ya, "Are you happy working at Gu Corporation right now?"

Shen Ya didn't know why Shen Yan would suddenly ask about this.

She blinked and replied, "It's not bad. My colleagues here are all quite nice to me, and I get along well with them. The work is also quite relaxed."

Shen Yan fell silent for a few seconds after she finished speaking.

Shen Ya sensed that Shen Yan had something he wanted to tell her and asked him, "What's wrong?"

Shen Yan cleared his throat and replied, "Nothing. I just feel... maybe you should change your job."

Although Shen Ya didn't know why Shen Yan wanted her to change jobs, she knew that Shen Yan wouldn't suddenly say something like that unless there was a reason.

After a few seconds of silence, she asked Shen Yan back, "Do I absolutely have to change this job?"

Shen Yan scratched his head. "Not necessarily. I'm just worried you might be deliberately made difficult at the company."

If it were just about being given a hard time, that would be fine.

He was afraid that if Gu Hui found out Shen Ya was his sister, he would use the workplace context to do some unpleasant things to his sister.

Fortunately, although his sister could be unclear about minor matters, she was very good at weighing pros and cons when it came to major issues.

Hearing him say that, she immediately understood that Shen Yan had likely fallen out with Gu Corporation.

"Fine, I get it. Anyway, this job doesn't have much substance. I'll submit my resignation today and leave next month."

When she finished speaking,

Shen Yan felt both amused and that Shen Ya was perhaps too sensible. He sighed and asked Shen Ya, "Are you willing to gain experience at a Branch Company?"

Shen Ya hesitated for a moment before replying, "I'll see. I'll resign from my current job first."

Shen Yan hummed. "No rush. Things aren't that serious. Take your time."

They chatted for a while longer before hanging up the phone.

Shen Yan originally thought his outing was over, but unexpectedly, as soon as he hung up, Mei Jinning called him.

"Shen Yan, how have you considered the cooperation I proposed last time?"

Hearing the question, Shen Yan glanced at the time.

It was five in the afternoon.

He thought for a moment and then asked the other party, "Are you free right now? If you are, I'll come find you."

Mei Jinning did not refuse.

An hour later,

Shen Yan's car appeared at the entrance of "Imperial Heaven."

Honestly, he didn't quite understand why Mei Jinning was so keen on this place.

In the five times he had met Mei Jinning, three of those meetings had taken place here.

After parking, he walked into "Imperial Heaven."

"Creak..."

Opening the door to the private room,

Shen Yan saw Mei Jinning.

She was still wearing a cheongsam as usual, paired with a pair of sky-high heels.

"Long time no see!"

Hearing this, Shen Yan felt a bit speechless.

He hadn't expected Mei Jinning to be like The Supporting Male Character.

Both of them liked saying the words "Long time no see" right when they met.

He couldn't be bothered to correct Mei Jinning's phrasing. He asked her, "You know I've fallen out with The Supporting Male Character?"

Mei Jinning nodded.

"Yes. I heard you angered him so much he even smashed his office?"

Shen Yan didn't know about this. He raised his eyebrows slightly in slight surprise and asked, "Is that so?"

Mei Jinning replied with a smile, "Of course. Don't doubt my intelligence gathering."

Shen Yan narrowed his eyes.

"The way you talk makes it hard for me not to suspect that The Supporting Male Character's secretary is one of yours."

Mei Jinning was eerily silent for a few seconds.

Shen Yan gleaned some secrets from those few seconds of silence. His eyes widened in shock as he asked, "His secretary is actually your person?!"

Mei Jinning coughed and replied, "It's not as exaggerated as you say, but I did get the news from him."

"Alright, let's stop talking about this. Let's get back to the main topic. Have you considered it? Are you willing to cooperate with me?"

Shen Yan didn't answer directly. He asked Mei Jinning, "Are you really just trying to deal with The Supporting Male Character?"

Mei Jinning picked up the wine glass on the table, took a sip of the red wine, and replied, "Of course. He's messed with me several times before, and he even caused people around me to lose their lives because of him."

"If you are willing to cooperate with me, I guarantee I will do my utmost to fulfill your conditions."

Shen Yan waved his hand.

"I don't have any wishes or conditions that I need you to help me fulfill."

Mei Jinning frowned. She put down the red wine glass and asked Shen Yan, "Then what do you want?"

Shen Yan pursed his lips and replied, "I don't have any wishes or conditions for you to fulfill regarding the assignment, but my objective is the same as yours."

Hearing this, Mei Jinning curled her lips into a smile.

"Oh? You finally saw his true colors and decided to take him down with me?"

Shen Yan neither nodded nor shook his head.

"What about Gu Corporation? After you take him down, do you plan to swallow Gu Corporation?"

Mei Jinning assumed Shen Yan was just asking casually.

So she also replied casually.

"Of course. No matter what, Gu Corporation is a big cake. If the leader is gone, and his subordinates are all useless, how could I let such a cake go uneaten?"

When she finished speaking,

Shen Yan nodded and replied, "Then leave Gu Corporation to me."
