368: Chapter 368 Who's the one who's clueless?

Gu Mingming's eyes were filled with shock.

"Of course not!"

Shen Yan continued to ask, "Then, once you become the Chairman of the Gu Group, will you cross the bridge and burn it, forgetting about the cooperation between us two?"

Gu Mingming held up three fingers and swore, "I swear to the heavens that I absolutely will not cross the bridge and burn it, nor will I forget that the reason I could become the Chairman of the Gu Group is because of your help."

Shen Yan was satisfied.

Since Gu Mingming was already aware, his plan could start moving forward.

With that thought, he sent the data from his phone to Gu Mingming's phone.

"There are too many people in your Gu Corporation, and too much data. I'm too lazy to look at it bit by bit. You find what is useful to you within it."

"If there is anything you don't understand, you can ask me. But remember, I want a collaborator, not a puppet. My expectations for you are not limited to this."

As his words fell.

Gu Mingming nodded, his face full of emotion.

"I will work hard not to disappoint you!"

Shen Yan, having successfully put another grand promise into someone else's mouth, left the coffee shop with satisfaction.

Just as he was preparing to pack up and go home, his phone rang. The person calling him was Gu Hui.

Shen Yan frowned, suppressed his disgust, and answered the call, asking Gu Hui on the other end, "What is it?"

Gu Hui's voice came through the receiver.

"I'm going abroad tomorrow. Have you finished handling the things you need to do?"

Hearing Gu Hui's question, Shen Yan replied noncommittally, "Of course. I have already bought the items; I'm just waiting for you to tell me to go out."

Gu Hui was satisfied. "I'm leaving tomorrow. If there are no accidents, I will call you over in a couple of days. By then, just do as I say. Don't listen too much, don't look too much. As long as you complete this task, your reward will not be small."

Shen Yan sneered, "Alright then. I wish our cooperation success."

Gu Hui thought Shen Yan was genuinely wishing their cooperation success, and he happily responded, "May our cooperation go smoothly!"

After hanging up the phone, Shen Yan immediately called Mei Jinning.

"Did you know Gu Hui is going abroad?"

Hearing the question, Mei Jinning replied to Shen Yan, "Of course I know. I'm going with him."

Shen Yan made a 'tsk' sound.

"Don't forget what you told me. This matter has nothing to do with me. I won't get involved when the time comes."

Mei Jinning laughed.

"Don't worry, I keep my word. If I said I wouldn't pull you in, I won't pull you in. All you need to do then is nothing."

As her words ended, Shen Yan felt relieved.

After he signed the contract with Gu Hui, Gu Hui asked him to buy things from a designated person and rent a warehouse to store those purchased items.

Because he knew Gu Hui surely harbored ill intentions, he immediately told Mei Jinning about the matter and asked her to resolve it.

Mei Jinning agreed very readily.

It wasn't long before she resolved the issue.

Gu Hui also didn't become suspicious.

He had almost forgotten about that matter, but now that Gu Hui suddenly brought it up, a bit of curiosity arose in him.

"What exactly did he ask me to buy for him? And how did you deceive him?"

Mei Jinning replied meaningfully, "Didn't you not want to be involved in our affairs? Or... have you changed your mind?"

Shen Yan had only asked casually; he didn't actually intend to drag himself into this situation.

He wanted to make money, yes, but he had his own bottom line.

Things he shouldn't touch, things he shouldn't get involved with, he wouldn't touch any of them.

"Not really. If you don't want to say, then forget it."

Mei Jinning chuckled a few more times.

"Okay, then let's leave it at that. I will contact you after things are over."

With that, she hung up the phone.

Confirming that there was truly nothing else for him to do, Shen Yan packed up and went home.

He got off work early today, and Shen Ya had not yet returned from the Gu Corporation.

Although she had already submitted her resignation, she had to stay until the end of the month, so when he returned home, only Youyou and the auntie were there.

"Daddy!"

As soon as Youyou saw him, she rushed into his arms like a small missile.

Shen Yan bent down, picked up Youyou, and asked her, "What did you do today?"

Youyou pouted and replied, "I didn't do anything, Daddy. When can I go to kindergarten?"

Shen Yan walked toward the sofa while holding Youyou, answering her, "Didn't Daddy tell you? You have to wait until next month to start school. During this time, Youyou has to study by herself at home."

He had found a kindergarten a while ago.

That kindergarten had excellent teaching staff and a very high safety rating.

It was just that he encountered a slight problem when handling the enrollment procedures; he wouldn't be able to finalize them until next month.

Hearing Shen Yan's words, Youyou became even angrier. She puffed out her cheeks and said to Shen Yan, "Daddy is breaking his promise! You clearly said I could go to school in a couple of days!"

Shen Yan patiently reasoned with Youyou.

"It's true I said that, but didn't an unexpected situation arise?"

"Youyou is a particularly wonderful child. A particularly wonderful child can be understanding toward Daddy, right?"

Youyou pouted her small mouth and said, "...Fine, I am a good child. I can be understanding toward Daddy."

Shen Yan found her incredibly cute. He lowered his head and scraped his newly grown stubble against her soft cheek.

Youyou shrieked with laughter, twisting her body while laughing.

"Hahahaha! Daddy, stop messing with me!"

After playing for a while.

There was a sound at the front door.

Shen Ya stood with her arms crossed, leaning against the doorway watching the two of them, "Why are you two father and daughter so clingy?"

Shen Yan lightly pinched Youyou's cheek while saying to Shen Ya, "What? Are you envious? If you have the ability, go have one yourself."

Shen Ya rolled her eyes without restraint.

"Yes, yes, yes, I'm envious, okay!"

"Why are you back so early today?"

Shen Yan let go and walked to the kitchen to get water, replying, "The project ended, so naturally, I could come back early."

Shen Ya raised an eyebrow and asked Shen Yan, "Then why didn't you contact Sister A Hui?"

Shen Yan paused.

"Why should I contact her?"

Shen Ya made a 'tsk' sound.

"I'm saying, why aren't you catching on?"

"Since you got off work early for once, shouldn't you contact Sister A Hui to nurture your relationship?"

Shen Yan raised his hand and lightly tapped Shen Ya's head with his finger.

"You have so much experience in relationships, yet I don't see you dating anyone?"

Shen Ya rubbed her head and took a few steps back, saying, "I don't want to! Men only slow down my drawing speed!"
