365: Chapter 365 Enduring Injustice
Of course, Shen Yan would not reveal what he was thinking to Gu Hui.
Since Gu Hui wanted to set a trap for him, he would play along and conspire with Mei Jinning to trap Gu Hui instead.
"Fine, when do I need to leave?"
As Shen Yan asked, he picked up the pen beside him and signed his name on the contract.
With the contract signed, Gu Hui looked at Shen Yan with satisfaction and replied, "I will be going abroad in half a month. You finish the first task first, and I will call you over when I need you."
Shen Yan nodded.
Then, he remembered something else.
"By the way, I heard you plan to send Gu Mingming away somewhere?"
Upon hearing the question, Gu Hui was momentarily stunned.
"Yes... that's right. Why are you suddenly mentioning him?"
Shen Yan: "No matter what, he is also an investor in my company. If you send him away, what about my project?"
"Since we are cooperating now, let's discuss it. Don't send him away for now."
Gu Hui hadn't expected Shen Yan to suddenly make this request.
Although he found the request a bit nonsensical, it wasn't impossible to agree to.
Anyway, after the cooperation is finished, Shen Yan will be going to jail.
At that time, Gu Mingming would still have to leave.
Thinking this, he nodded to Shen Yan, "Fine. It seems you have a good relationship with him."
Shen Yan smiled and did not deny it.
After they finished signing the contract, Gu Hui didn't intend to stay in the office any longer. He happily stood up and extended his hand to Shen Yan, saying, "Happy cooperation."
Shen Yan looked at him with a forced smile and said, "Happy cooperation."
The atmosphere was awkward for a few seconds.
Gu Hui casually withdrew his hand, gave a faint smile, and then turned to leave the office.
As he left the office, he bumped right into Chen Guangke.
Chen Guangke was first stunned when he saw him, and then walked into the office.
Looking at the figure that had completely disappeared, Chen Guangke asked Shen Yan curiously, "Why was he here?"
Shen Yan replied to Chen Guangke, "He came to discuss cooperation with me."
Chen Guangke raised an eyebrow: "You rejected him again?"
Shen Yan laughed.
"No, I readily agreed to it."
Chen Guangke was a bit surprised.
"You agreed? Then why did he look like his family members had just died?"
Shen Yan burst out laughing.
"It must be because I embarrassed him just now."
Chen Guangke was a little confused.
"What embarrassment?"
Shen Yan shook his head and replied, "Never mind that. Why are you looking for me?"
Chen Guangke then remembered the purpose of his visit to Shen Yan.
"We still haven't recruited suitable people for that project so far. Jiang Yuan is as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. He urged me to discuss this matter with you and ask you to think of a solution."
Saying this, he pursed his lips.
"Although it was right for us to teach Gu Xuantian a lesson, the people have already been poached by him. No matter how much we lecture him, the people won't come back."
"The most important thing for us right now is to quickly recruit more people. Don't put all your energy into other things."
Shen Yan replied nonchalantly.
"These two things don't conflict. Don't worry, I will handle this matter well."
Chen Guangke: "Do you know anyone suitable to approach?"
Shen Yan smiled without speaking.
On the other side.
Gu Hui had just returned to the corporation when he saw Gu Xuantian sitting in his office waiting for him.
"What are you doing here? Do you have nothing better to do?"
Hearing Gu Hui's question, Gu Xuantian felt a surge of anger. He abruptly stood up from his chair and said to Gu Hui, "Grandpa! I've been bullied by Shen Yan to this extent, you can't side with an outsider!"
Gu Hui frowned.
"Didn't I already tell you? Call me Chairman Gu when we are outside."
Gu Xuantian pursed his lips and said again, "Fine, Chairman Gu, I just want to ask you one thing: are you going to help me or not? You told me to try investing with that good-for-nothing, but now my project has been ruined by him!"
As soon as he finished speaking.
Gu Hui pulled open his office chair and sat down.
"If it's ruined, just invest in another one. It's not a big deal."
Gu Xuantian's eyes widened. He couldn't believe Gu Hui actually expected him to swallow his pride.
"Is this about the project? This is an issue of personal dignity!"
"He has already pushed his luck and stepped all over me to bully me. You still expect me to endure it?!"
Gu Hui rubbed his temples.
If he weren't currently unable to procreate, and his son had died early, he would have already had his son or himself produce another one.
"I'm not telling you to endure it forever. I'm telling you to endure it for now..."
Before he could finish, Gu Xuantian eagerly interrupted him.
"Endure, endure, endure... How long do I have to endure? He already provoked me in front of my friends. If I don't teach him a lesson, how can I hold my ground in front of others later!"
Gu Hui couldn't hold back anymore. He slammed the table and stood up, pointing at Gu Xuantian's nose and roaring angrily, "Are you still thinking about that bunch of fair-weather friends even now?!"
"Gu Xuantian! Do you have any idea what high hopes I placed on you?!"
This was the first time Gu Hui had lost his temper at Gu Xuantian.
Gu Xuantian flinched under Gu Hui's scolding and said timidly.
"I know you have high hopes for me, but what does that have to do with me getting my dignity back?"
"If I don't get my dignity back this time, I won't be able to stay with those people later."
"I am, after all, the legitimate heir of Gu Corporation. Even the boss of a small company dares to ride roughshod over me like this. How will others view our Gu Corporation?"
The last sentence struck a chord with Gu Hui.
He took a deep breath, sat back down in his chair, and said, "What you said is not wrong, but right now I just need him to do something for me. I promise you, as soon as he finishes what I need him to do, I will let you get your dignity back. How about that?"
Gu Xuantian's eyes darted around, and a hint of curiosity arose in his mind.
"Chairman Gu, what exactly do you need him to do for you?"
Gu Hui glared at Gu Xuantian.
"Is that something you can ask about? You just focus on finishing your own tasks."
"You just said he ruined your project, right? I'll give you a bit more budget. Go invest in other projects."
As he finished speaking.
Gu Xuantian grinned.
"Fine, it's settled then. Give me some more budget."
Gu Hui saw his smile and knew what he was thinking.
"Don't even think about pocketing the budget. If you don't come up with a decent project, I won't feel at ease handing Gu Corporation over to you."
Gu Xuantian looked like he had a toothache, sucking at his teeth.
"But you only give me such a small allowance every month, how is that enough to spend?"
