414: Chapter 414 Bullying the weak and fearing the strong
As soon as these words came out, the office area fell into a deathly silence.
A few seconds later, Chen Guangke gritted his teeth and spat out a few words through clenched teeth:
"Come on, don't move! Today, it's either you die or I live!"
How could Shen Yan just stand there and let him hit him?
He smiled, turned around, entered the office, and locked the defensive Chen Guangke outside to roar in frustration.
...
Chen Guangke's efficiency was very high.
Before long, the online lottery event was completely finalized.
Originally, netizens were just joining in for fun, but they never expected that Shen Yan would actually use the prize money he won for a public lottery.
The news that they might suddenly become rich overnight instantly sent them into a frenzy.
At the same time, many people also questioned whether Shen Yan was just putting on a show.
After all, having been active online for many years, they already understood that the internet was not completely fair.
A seemingly random lottery competition could very likely have someone manipulating things behind the scenes.
Those people could accept not being drawn, but they could not accept that the lottery spots were predetermined.
Therefore, they all rushed to the comment section of the official post to seek reassurance.
"Is it really true that just forwarding the clarification content allows participation in the lottery?"
"Will it be like those previous internet celebrities, saying on the surface that everyone has a spot and a chance, but in reality, they've already predetermined the winners and let their company staff win?"
"This is over sixty million... If divided among six people, each person gets about ten million. Is Shen Yan really willing to give it up?"
Seeing the public's doubts, Chen Guangke quickly issued a relevant statement.
The statement clearly stated that employees of Shen Yan's company could not participate in the relevant lottery event.
Of course, they would provide some compensation for this, such as distributing bonuses.
Upon learning that the lottery competition was indeed fair and just, netizens rushed to forward the clarification and participate in the draw.
Because they felt Shen Yan was handsome and kind-hearted—not only did he win the prize himself, but he was also willing to share the prize money for them to share in the good fortune—quite a few people spontaneously became Shen Yan's fans.
They not only helped forward the clarification content but also went to argue with the paid internet trolls, causing the trolls' accounts to be banned.
Seeing the public opinion regarding their company rapidly reverse online, Chen Guangke was overjoyed.
Meanwhile, the person introduced by An Ran also brought them good news.
"So, we only need to go through the procedures one more time to secure the land?"
Hearing Shen Yan's question, Ning Ke replied with a smile: "That's right. This matter is inherently legal and reasonable. After I reported it to the higher-ups, this issue was easily resolved."
Although Ning Ke made the matter sound simple, Shen Yan knew that without Ning Ke mediating, this matter definitely wouldn't have been resolved so quickly.
"Regardless, thank you very much for this matter. Next time I go to S City, I will certainly visit to express my gratitude."
Ning Ke did not decline.
"Alright, alright. When you come next time, I will personally welcome you."
After exchanging pleasantries on the phone for a while, Shen Yan hung up.
Because Chen Guangke was in the office when he hung up, as soon as he ended the call, Chen Guangke rushed forward anxiously and asked: "Is the land issue resolved?"
Shen Yan nodded.
"It's resolved. Let's go handle the procedures."
Chen Guangke's face lit up with joy.
"I knew that investor's connections were formidable!"
Shen Yan pulled at the corner of his mouth.
"These are all debts of favor; they will have to be repaid later. Never mind that for now; let's handle the procedures first."
Chen Guangke nodded vigorously.
Not long after, they headed to the land administrator's office together.
"Knock, knock, knock."
"Come in."
The administrator's voice came from inside the office.
Shen Yan and Chen Guangke walked in side by side.
"We are here to process the land transfer procedures."
When the administrator saw them, his expression was clearly not very pleasant.
"Didn't we already discuss this last time? You guys..."
Before he could finish speaking, Shen Yan directly interrupted him.
"Do you happen to know Mr. Ning Ke?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the other party's expression became even uglier.
After a long pause, the administrator, wearing a sour face as if someone owed him millions, said: "Alright, stop putting on airs here. I will handle the procedures for you. You go prepare the necessary documents first."
As soon as he finished speaking,
Chen Guangke immediately took out all the materials he had prepared long ago. He placed those documents on the table and said:
"No need for you to say it, we already prepared everything. Get this done for us quickly today!"
Seeing those materials, the administrator's expression soured even further.
"In such a rush to get reincarnated, are we? So impatient..."
Hearing this, Chen Guangke's temper flared up instantly.
He slapped his palm onto the table with a 'Pa' sound.
"You have the nerve to say that! If you hadn't been obstructing our procedures, we would have finished all the paperwork long ago!"
"I advise you to be sensible and quickly complete the procedures you owe us!"
People who can hold a position like the administrator usually have thick skin.
He was just about to retort when he heard Shen Yan calmly say from behind: "I know you were instructed by Chen Wu to make things difficult for us. You didn't do your job well, so I can understand why you're in a bad mood."
As he spoke, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.
"But... I dislike it the most when people push their luck. Don't make us take out our anger towards Chen Wu on you."
As the words fell,
The administrator shivered.
He felt he did not want to know the consequences if they took out their anger towards Chen Wu on him.
Thinking this, he swallowed hard and whispered: "Understood, I will process your paperwork now."
One hour later.
The two walked out of the office building holding the completed paperwork.
"Hmph! I think that guy is just bullying the weak and fearing the strong!"
Shen Yan looked down at the completed paperwork while replying to Chen Guangke: "Who isn't bullying the weak and fearing the strong these days? Get used to it."
Hearing this, Chen Guangke's eyes widened.
"You're just letting him bully us like that?"
Chen Guangke said with a wry smile: "What are you thinking? When did I ever say we were pushovers?"
"Don't worry. Since they all like to bully the weak and fear the strong, then we'll become the hardest brick, so they won't dare to touch us."
Chen Guangke snorted again.
"That's more like it."
With this matter settled, both of them felt much more relaxed.
On the way back, Shen Yan brought up the matter of Chen Wu's company business.
"Did you finish investigating the matter I asked you to look into?"
Hearing Shen Yan's question, Chen Guangke sighed.
"You were too rushed. I just finished investigating the parts business; how could I possibly investigate the other businesses so quickly?"
