349: Chapter 349 A Worrying Person's Worry

After hanging up the phone,

Shen Yan shook his head and sighed.

Although he was very concerned about that competition participant, since the venue was in the neighboring city, he couldn't rush over immediately no matter how worried he was.

He had already negotiated with the competition organizers, arranging for them to send the participant to the hospital, with him covering the costs.

Even though he didn't know if the organizers would take good care of the participant, this was the most he could do.

After leaving "Imperial Heaven," he drove back to the company.

On his way upstairs, he saw Chen Guangke walking out.

“Old Chen.”

Hearing the call, Chen Guangke looked up at him.

“You’re back?”

Shen Yan nodded and said to Chen Guangke, “Are you free? I have something I want to discuss with you.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Guangke chuckled.

“Since you’ve asked, even if I wasn’t free, I would definitely talk with you. Let’s go, we can talk in the conference room.”

After saying that, the two walked into the conference room.

“What did you want to discuss with me?”

Shen Yan pulled out a chair and sat down, replying, “I want you to investigate the projects Gu Xuantian has invested in.”

Chen Guangke frowned in confusion.

“Why investigate this for no reason?”

Hearing Chen Guangke’s question, Shen Yan replied, “After you finish investigating, find someone to contact the experimental personnel on those projects.”

Chen Guangke immediately understood what Shen Yan intended to do. He looked at Shen Yan with surprise and asked, “You’re not thinking of poaching all those people, are you?”

Shen Yan raised an eyebrow and countered, “Is that not allowed?”

Chen Guangke looked troubled.

“It’s not that it’s not allowed; it’s just that this approach would be too costly for us.”

“It’s like we could complete this matter for just one dollar, but because we have to poach those people, we are forced to use ten dollars to complete it.”

“We still need to work on a third project right now. If we really do this, then our company’s...”

Shen Yan interrupted Chen Guangke.

“I know what you’re going to say. You’re going to say that our company doesn’t have that much money to poach those people, right?”

Chen Guangke nodded.

Shen Yan continued, “Don’t worry, I don’t actually plan on poaching them. You just need to contact them and tell them we are willing to hire them at double or even triple the price to come here and complete the project.”

Chen Guangke blinked and asked, “What exactly are you trying to do?”

Shen Yan gave a sly smile and replied, “He wants to interfere with our project progress, so I must return the favor in kind.”

Of course, ultimately, it was because the system had issued him a special mission, and he had to complete the special mission to obtain intelligence.

Although Chen Guangke couldn't figure out his real motive, he still decided to comply.

“Fine, then I’ll go investigate. Just make sure you know what you’re doing.”

“Is there anything else? If not, I’ll get back to work.”

Shen Yan shook his head.

Chen Guangke left the conference room.

Time passed second by second.

It wasn't long before it was time to get off work.

Since there was nothing else to do today, Shen Yan got off work on time and went home.

As soon as he got home, he saw Shen Ya sitting on the sofa waiting for him.

“Why are you back so early today? Where is Youyou?”

Hearing his question, Shen Ya rubbed her eyes and replied, “I asked the nanny to take Youyou out to play.”

As she finished speaking,

Shen Yan raised an eyebrow and placed the things in his hand on the table.

“Is there something you want to tell me?”

Shen Ya nodded, then shook her head.

“It’s not something I want to tell you; it’s something I want to ask you. What happened between you and the boss of Gu Corporation? Why did you suddenly want me to resign?”

Hearing the question, Shen Yan was silent for a moment before replying, “It’s not that I suddenly wanted you to resign; I was afraid that my affairs would interfere with your work.”

“Furthermore, I think if you really want to work, you can come work at my Branch Company. My Branch Company is in need of a manager anyway.”

A manager?

Shen Ya thought she had misheard.

She raised her hand and pointed a finger at herself.

“You want me to be a manager at your Branch Company?”

Shen Yan nodded.

Shen Ya found it somewhat amusing.

“I’m just a bottom-level Employee at another company. You want me to be a manager at your Branch Company—aren’t you really afraid your company will go bankrupt?”

Shen Yan frowned.

“Don’t talk about yourself like that. Even if you are just a bottom-level Employee at another company, I believe your abilities are more than that.”

“If you are willing, I can let you start as a bottom-level Employee in the Branch Company first, and then transfer you to management once you get the hang of things.”

Shen Ya shook her head and waved her hand.

“No, no, no, I don’t want to be a beneficiary of nepotism.”

Shen Yan sighed.

“Actually, I know that telling you this now puts some pressure on you, but I feel some things must be said. We are biological siblings; it’s very normal for biological siblings to support each other.”

“Moreover, I’m not lying to you. My Branch Company genuinely needs a manager. If you are willing to help me, I will be very happy.”

As he finished speaking,

Shen Ya remained silent.

She was wondering if Shen Yan was coaxing her.

Shen Yan saw through what Shen Ya was thinking and continued, “I’m not trying to coax you; what I said is true.”

“Youyou is still young, and there aren’t many people left in their family. Besides Old Chen and Xiao Wu, I don’t have many people I can trust. If you are willing to come help me at the Branch Company, I will truly be very happy.”

Shen Ya: “... But what if I mess up your business?”

Shen Yan chuckled.

He felt Shen Ya was worrying needlessly.

“You are my sister. Besides, even if you mess things up, I can still back you up.”

“To put it plainly, since I’m letting you gain experience at the Branch Company, it means I have the ability to cover for any mistakes. If you are willing, I’ll have you start working tomorrow.”

Seeing how eager he was, Shen Ya also smiled.

“What are you saying?”

“Although I submitted my resignation letter today, the higher-ups haven’t approved it yet.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Ya’s phone rang.

She glanced at it and saw that it was a call from her supervisor.

“It’s a call from the company. Wait a moment, don’t say anything.”

After saying that, she answered the phone.

“Hello? It’s me.”

“What? No, no... it’s not for that reason.”

“Yes, yes. What?! That won’t do; I don’t have that capability.”

“I really don’t need time to consider. Yes, I have already decided to resign, for personal reasons.”

“Alright, we’ll talk again tomorrow.”
