350: Chapter 35 Impotent Rage

After hanging up the phone,

Shen Ya looked at her cell phone in disbelief.

Seeing her like this, Shen Yan couldn't help but ask doubtfully,

"What's wrong?"

Shen Ya put down her phone, pursed her lips, and replied to Shen Yan, "They want to promote me."

Hearing this, Shen Yan let out a chuckle.

"They just don't want you to leave, so they decided to promote you at the last minute, right?"

Shen Ya frowned tightly.

"But the key point is they want to make me the Department General Manager directly. Don't you think that's strange?"

"Me, someone who has only been at the company for a few months, becoming a General Manager—who would believe I wasn't just relying on connections?"

Shen Yan nodded and replied, "Exactly. Since you're going to be seen as relying on connections no matter which company you join, you might as well just be a connected person in my company. At least then, if something happens, I can be your backup."

Shen Ya couldn't help but laugh.

"What kind of twisted logic is that?"

Shen Yan shrugged and replied, "That's called 'crude words, but sound reasoning.'"

Shen Ya shook her head.

"Alright, let's leave this matter for now. I'll resign from my job first, and we'll see about everything else after I leave Gu Corporation."

Shen Yan didn't press her for an immediate answer.

He nodded and asked Shen Ya, "Did Auntie say when Youyou will be back?"

Shen Ya glanced at the time and replied, "It should be about time."

Speak of the devil.

As soon as she finished speaking, the Auntie brought Youyou through the door.

"Daddy!"

Hearing his daughter's call, a doting father's smile immediately appeared on Shen Yan's face.

"Hey! My Youyou!"

Seeing the father and daughter start being affectionate again at home,

Shen Ya shook her head helplessly and complained inwardly:

What a complete doting father!

...

Time flew by.

In the blink of an eye,

three days had passed.

During these three days, Chen Guangke had been continuously calling and harassing the experimental personnel for the project invested in by Gu Xuantian.

At first, those experimental personnel could still politely refuse him, but later on, whenever they saw a call from Chen Guangke, they would immediately hang up.

There were two reasons why they didn't want to go.

The first reason was that the project from Shen Yan's company was a bit too outlandish; they didn't believe the project was feasible.

The second reason was that Shen Yan's company had never done any projects related to Artificial Intelligence before, so they were afraid Shen Yan would run away halfway.

Shen Yan had already anticipated this situation.

His original goal wasn't to poach these people anyway.

Therefore, after learning from Chen Guangke that these people kept refusing them, he still told Chen Guangke to keep calling those experimental personnel to achieve the goal of harassment.

"Will they call the police to arrest us?"

In the office, Chen Guangke asked Shen Yan with a worried look.

Shen Yan shook his head and replied, "It's just making a phone call to ask them to come work for us; it's not a big deal."

Chen Guangke pouted.

"But if this continues, they will only hate us more and more. How could they possibly agree to come work for us?"

Shen Yan smiled, "But my original goal wasn't to have them come work for us."

Chen Guangke's eyes widened in surprise.

"Then what exactly are you trying to do?"

Shen Yan cleared his throat and replied, "Just to obstruct the progress of their project. Don't worry, it won't be long before Gu Xuantian calls me himself."

As soon as the words fell,

his phone rang.

He glanced at it and saw it was an unknown number.

He answered without hesitation.

"Shen! Yan! What on earth are you trying to do?!"

Hearing the furious voice on the other end of the line, Shen Yan raised his eyebrows smugly, signaling Chen Guangke with his eyes that speak of the devil.

"What do you mean, what am I trying to do?"

Hearing Shen Yan's question, Gu Xuantian became even angrier.

He roared at Shen Yan in a voice that was almost a shout, "Stop playing dumb with me! Everyone in the company told me that you've been calling and harassing my people!"

"Tell me! What exactly do you want?!"

Shen Yan replied unhurriedly, "What you're saying is wrong. I haven't been constantly harassing your people. I was just asking if they were willing to come work at my company."

Gu Xuantian: "... Didn't they already refuse you?!"

Shen Yan replied with a look of surprise, "Even in ancient times, there was the saying of three invitations to Zhuge Liang. How can I not invite them repeatedly to work on my project?"

"Besides, you were the one who drove all my people away. Now I'm short-staffed here and want to invite people to work at my company. Is there anything wrong with that?"

Gu Xuantian was so angry he almost suffered internal injuries.

He took deep breaths repeatedly to suppress his rage.

"I don't believe you're doing this without a motive. Tell me, what exactly do you want?"

Shen Yan replied with a smile, "It's rare that you finally have a bit of sense. What I want you to do is very simple: send my people back exactly the way you drove them away."

Gu Xuantian's eyes widened.

"Are you crazy? Those people are already working in the laboratory. How could they possibly jump ship to you?"

Shen Yan: "That's not my problem. Right now, I can't find anyone, so I can only ask the people on your project if they are willing to help my project."

Gu Xuantian was speechless.

"Aren't you being childish? No matter how much you harass them, they won't agree. If you keep this up, believe it or not, I'll have them call the police?"

Shen Yan laughed and replied, "Haven't you ever heard a saying? The most basic form of business warfare is harassing each other with phone calls."

"Forget it, I won't tease you anymore. Let's leave this matter for now."

As his voice faded, he directly hung up the phone.

Gu Xuantian stared at the screen of his now-disconnected phone in disbelief. His hands trembled as he dialed again, only to receive a message that his number had been blocked.

"Bang!"

Furious, he smashed his phone directly against the wall.

He couldn't believe he had been repeatedly defeated by Shen Yan.

If he could, he really wanted to find someone right now to beat Shen Yan up.

But the problem was, he couldn't.

After being beaten up by Shen Yan in person last time, he had rushed straight to his grandfather to complain.

Originally, he thought that being treated this way by Shen Yan would earn him Gu Hui's pity, but unexpectedly, after he finished complaining, Gu Hui directly reprimanded him for having no ability whatsoever.

Not only that, but Gu Hui also repeatedly warned him that he absolutely must not bother Shen Yan about this matter again.

If Gu Hui discovered he had gone looking for Shen Yan, Gu Hui would send him off to another city.

Helplessly, Gu Xuantian had to swallow his anger and just live his own life.

It was just that he hadn't expected that while he wasn't looking for Shen Yan, Shen Yan would actively come looking for him, and now he had even hung up on him directly.
