361: Chapter 361 Superficial Skills

Chen Guangke: "Are you trying to kill two birds with one stone?"

Shen Yan nodded.

"You could say that."

As his words fell.

Chen Guangke fell silent for a few seconds.

He was considering whether Shen Yan's plan was feasible.

If they truly had the ability to help Gu Mingming become the Chairman of Gu Corporation, then Gu Mingming's ideas were indeed an instability in the plan.

And investigating people within Gu Corporation served as a safeguard against that instability.

Thinking this over, he decided to follow what Shen Yan suggested.

"Fine, I'll help you investigate the people in Gu Corporation, but I have to tell you upfront, I can't guarantee I'll find anything useful."

Shen Yan placed his hand back on Chen Guangke's shoulder. He said to Chen Guangke, "It doesn't matter, just go ahead and investigate freely. No matter what happens, I'll cover the consequences."

Chen Guangke snorted, but he didn't shake off the hand on his shoulder.

After they finished discussing the matter, Shen Yan left the break room and called someone to deal with the matter concerning the game company.

Time ticked by, second by second.

Unconsciously, Shen Yan was busy until past seven in the evening.

"Ring ring ring!"

Just as Shen Yan was preparing to pack up and leave the company, his phone rang. The person calling him was Mei Jinning.

He slid his finger across the screen, answered the call, and asked Mei Jinning on the other end, "What can I do for you?"

Mei Jinning chuckled lightly and replied to him, "Do you remember what I told you a few days ago?"

Shen Yan walked out of the office while replying to Mei Jinning, "You've told me so many things a few days ago, how am I supposed to know which one you're referring to?"

Mei Jinning replied nonchalantly, "It doesn't matter, I'll tell you again. In all likelihood, Gu Hui will come looking for you within two days."

"Whatever he says then, just agree to it."

Hearing this, Shen Yan gave a cold laugh.

"What do you mean, 'Whatever he says, just agree to it'? What if he asks me to sell myself to Gu Corporation? Should I agree to that too?"

Mei Jinning replied, "You don't need to take this so seriously. Even if you agree, he won't be able to do anything to you."

Shen Yan frowned.

"What do you mean by that?"

Mei Jinning: "The literal meaning."

Shen Yan closed the office door and said, "I think you should tell me the entire context and background of this matter. If you don't, it will be hard for me to guarantee that I can complete my task."

As his words fell.

Mei Jinning was silent for a few seconds.

Then, she replied to Shen Yan, "I told him that I could get you to agree to cooperate with him, on the condition that he gives me a larger share of the spoils."

Shen Yan curled his lips and said meaningfully, "Your goal isn't just that little bit of spoils, is it?"

Mei Jinning admitted frankly, "That's right. That little bit of meager gain isn't even enough to fill the gaps between my teeth. What I want has never been just that."

"Don't worry, I won't drag you into this kind of mess. You just need to agree to him and then do nothing else."

Shen Yan raised an eyebrow.

"Are you sure? I just need to agree to him and do nothing else?"

"What if he signs a contract with me on blank paper?"

Hearing the question, Mei Jinning replied with a smile, "Even if he signs it, it's useless. The law can't regulate things like that."

As her words fell.

Shen Yan felt settled.

"Alright, I understand. Is there anything else?"

Mei Jinning replied, "Nothing official, but if you have time, I'd still like to invite you out for dinner."

Shen Yan refused without hesitation.

He had already concluded from the dealings between Mei Jinning and Gu Hui that Mei Jinning was not a good person either.

Mei Jinning could cooperate with Gu Hui one second and turn against him the next.

Why couldn't she cooperate with him one second and turn against him the next?

Therefore, he did not want to have much contact with Mei Jinning.

Mei Jinning was not discouraged at all by his refusal.

"Alright, it seems you already have other plans. Then I wish us a smooth and pleasant cooperation."

Shen Yan grunted and hung up the phone.

At the same time, he had arrived at the company parking lot.

Just as he was about to walk to his car to get in, he suddenly saw someone.

Because this person was squatting next to his car, he couldn't clearly see the person's face.

"Who are you?"

Hearing the question, the person suddenly looked up.

The parking lot lights shone on the person's face.

Shen Yan realized that the person looked familiar.

He squinted to identify the other party, then asked, "Have I seen you somewhere before?"

Hearing his question, the other party took a deep breath and replied, "I... I haven't seen you, but you should have seen me. I am a race car driver from the competition."

As the words fell.

Shen Yan finally remembered this person.

If he guessed correctly, this person should be the race contestant he bet on in the 'Imperial Heaven' car race.

He sized the other party up and then asked, "Are you feeling better now?"

The other party shook his head and replied, "I'm fine. I know you helped me, right? I came here to thank you."

Shen Yan nodded.

"You're welcome, it was just a small favor."

After speaking, he prepared to get into his car and leave.

Just as he was about to leave, the other party suddenly threw himself in front of his car.

"Although I know this is improper, I still want to ask you, can you help me?"

Shen Yan: "..."

Half an hour later.

The two were sitting opposite each other in a small restaurant.

"What was your name again?"

Hearing Shen Yan's question, the man looked up and replied, "Do you want to hear my fake name or my real name?"

Shen Yan looked surprised: "You have a fake name and a real name?"

The man nodded.

"The name I registered in the race before was a fake name."

Shen Yan asked again, "Then what is your real name?"

The man: "Yan Zheng."

Shen Yan said, "Oh," and continued to ask, "You still haven't told me what you need my help with."

As his words fell.

Yan Zheng took a deep breath.

"Can you lend me some money?"

Shen Yan: "..."

He unbelievably raised his hand and pointed at himself with his finger.

"Do I look like a sucker?"

Yan Zheng shook his head while saying, "No, no, you don't look like a sucker at all. I just... I'm just at my wit's end... I..."

Shen Yan said expressionlessly, "I don't care if you're at your wit's end. Your business has nothing to do with me."

"Don't think that just because I helped you once, I'll keep helping you. I'm not a saint or a savior; you've asked the wrong person."

After speaking, he prepared to stand up and leave.

Just as he was about to stand up, Yan Zheng grabbed him.
