359: Chapter 359 Huge Inheritance
Pan Shali and his two Employees nodded in succession.
If they were good brothers and partners, then it was indeed understandable why that person dared to yell at his direct superior.
Because they needed to wait for Chen Guangke to prepare the acquisition contracts, the four of them sat in the company first.
Shen Yan had not sat in such a small and dilapidated warehouse for a long time; he sat on the sofa and looked at the tattered walls with some nostalgia.
Pan Shali thought he was complaining that the place was too shabby.
"Is it because this place is too small? How about this, I'll treat you to a seat at a nearby coffee shop..."
Before he finished speaking, Shen Yan shook his head: "No need. I'm not complaining that this place is shabby. When I started from scratch, I also began in a warehouse this small."
Hearing this, Pan Shali's eyes lit up.
"You're not a second-generation rich kid?!"
Shen Yan raised an eyebrow.
"Of course I'm not a second-generation rich kid; I started from scratch... Actually, no, I started from second-hand, hahaha."
Pan Shali didn't understand what he meant.
"What does starting from second-hand mean?"
Shen Yan patiently explained: "It means that after I started from scratch, I was kicked out of the company by others, and then I founded another company myself. But that's all in the past."
"Compared to me, you should look more like that second-generation rich kid, after all, not everyone has a private treasury worth hundreds of millions."
Pan Shali scratched his head a little awkwardly.
"That was all two years ago."
"If you put it that way, I can indeed be considered a second-generation rich kid. My money was left to me by my parents."
Shen Yan keenly sensed something was amiss.
"Your parents..."
Pan Shali calmly continued: "They have both passed away from cancer, one after the other."
Shen Yan didn't know what to say, so he just said softly: "I'm sorry..."
Pan Shali smiled and waved his hand.
"What is there to be sorry about? Fate cannot be defied, although I don't really believe in fate."
"At that time, I was very discouraged. Although I was very rich, I had lost my purpose in life. I didn't know what I should do and just stayed home every day."
"It was during that time that I came into contact with all sorts of games. The more games I played, the more I loved them."
"How should I put it... It was like another world, where I could find many things, such as friendship, and also love."
When mentioning love, Pan Shali was unusually shy.
It was evident that he had found a good romantic connection in the game.
Just as he was thinking this, Pan Shali suddenly changed the subject: "Although the person I was dating back then was a scammer who cross-dressed to cheat me out of money, I was still very happy."
Shen Yan: "..."
Since he was talking about a scammer who cross-dressed to cheat money, why was he showing a shy smile when talking about this person?!
Pan Shali's thought process was truly bizarre.
Shen Yan didn't even want to complain anymore.
He sighed and asked Pan Shali: "Are you actually insisting on making a non-pay-to-win game so that more people like you can find reliance in the game?"
Pan Shali nodded and then shook his head.
"You could say that, but actually, I do it because I love games."
"Before, I also studied the major of model making, but at that time I hadn't played many games, so I wasn't that passionate about the major."
"Ever since I encountered games, I discovered the joy of making models."
"It's like I'm a Nuwa; I can sculpt the faces of all kinds of people, then throw them into the game world, let them interact, and thus create new worldlines..."
Just as Pan Shali was about to continue speaking, his two Employees stopped him.
"Alright, stop talking. You're always like this; you can't stop once you start talking about these things."
Hearing this, Pan Shali chuckled and said to him: "I'm sorry, I just have this bad habit of never stopping when I talk about these things."
"What does your company do? I don't seem to have heard the name of your company before?"
Shen Yan fell silent again.
Although he knew the person in front of him had very thick skin, he didn't expect that this person would be willing to sell his company and game to him without even knowing what Shen Yan's company was about.
He felt this couldn't just be called thick-skinned; it was simply clueless.
After taking several deep breaths, he patiently replied to Pan Shali: "Previously, our company made software. Now, our company is developing Artificial Intelligence."
Pan Shali and his two Employees gasped simultaneously.
"Then your company has nothing to do with making games, right?"
Shen Yan nodded in reply: "You could say that."
Hearing this, the three people in front of him exchanged glances, and a common doubt arose in their eyes.
That is, after Shen Yan acquired their company, could he manage their company well?
Shen Yan noticed the doubt in their eyes and replied to the three of them: "Don't worry. Although I don't have experience managing a game company, I will definitely ensure this game company continues to operate no matter what."
Seeing his determined look, Pan Shali and his two Employees were relieved.
Although they didn't understand Shen Yan's capabilities, Shen Yan's imposing aura and his words gave the three of them a very steady feeling.
To put it plainly, they just felt that Shen Yan looked very capable, like someone who kept his word.
Unknowingly,
The four of them chatted for nearly another half an hour.
Just as they were about to discuss Shen Yan's past, Chen Guangke finally sent two acquisition contracts to Shen Yan.
As soon as he received the acquisition contracts, Shen Yan forwarded them to Pan Shali, asking him to print the acquisition contracts using the company's printer.
"Alright, here you go."
Pan Shali handed the printed acquisition contract to Shen Yan, then signed his name on his copy of the contract without hesitation.
Seeing his swift action, Shen Yan hesitated as if he wanted to say something but stopped.
Pan Shali thought he had something else to say and quickly asked him: "What's wrong?"
Shen Yan looked at him with an indescribable expression and asked him: "Aren't you afraid there are any traps in the acquisition contract?"
Hearing this, Pan Shali was shocked.
"What?!"
"There are traps in the acquisition contract!"
As the words fell,
Shen Yan covered his face and fell silent.
He finally understood why Pan Shali, despite possessing hundreds of millions in capital, managed his company so poorly.
