416: Chapter 416 Being Petty

On the way, Shen Yan and Chen Guangke discussed finding a developer.

"I think we must be very careful when looking for a developer. We absolutely cannot let the construction team run off with the money halfway through like last time!"

Hearing this, Shen Yan glanced at Chen Guangke with a smile.

"Of course, but... we haven't ventured into this field before. We still need to find someone experienced to ask for advice."

Chen Guangke deeply felt this was reasonable.

But... between the two of them, they didn't know anyone who understood this field. Where could they find someone experienced who wouldn't cheat them?

Thinking this, he voiced his concern.

Shen Yan wasn't worried about this at all.

"Have you forgotten? The person An Ran introduced to us works in this area."

Hearing this, Chen Guangke hesitated.

"But... we aren't very familiar with him. What if he's unwilling to help us, or doesn't put his full effort into helping?"

Shen Yan patted his shoulder and said, "It's fine, we'll take it one step at a time. I'll go inquire first about what that person likes? We'll cater to his tastes."

In terms of social graces, Chen Guangke was even worse than Shen Yan.

So, he obediently nodded, letting Shen Yan take charge.

...On the other side, at the "Imperial Heaven" bar.

"Hahahahahaha, I can't believe you're having this day too, hahahaha!"

Xia Tiantian's laughter was too grating.

Chen Wu wished he could tape his mouth shut.

"You've been laughing for five minutes already. Are you done yet?"

Hearing this, Xia Tiantian shook his head while still laughing.

"No, no, I haven't laughed at all. This is truly too funny. You actually stumbled over that young boss, hahahaha!"

Chen Wu grimaced, "Stop talking nonsense. How did I stumble over him? He just took a piece of land from me."

As soon as the words fell.

Ren Ling couldn't help but chuckle, "Isn't that considered stumbling? I remember you were determined to get that piece of land..."

Chen Wu's expression grew even fouler.

"I asked you out for drinks, not to be ridiculed here. If you keep laughing like this, I'm leaving."

Hearing this, Xia Tiantian and Ren Ling finally stopped laughing.

Just as they were contemplating when to call Shen Yan out for a good chat, Mei Jinning spoke from the side.

"Alright, you and he aren't people of the same class. Is it really worth getting so angry over this matter?"

Chen Wu's face was icy.

"It's precisely because he isn't a person of my class that I'm so angry."

"I will definitely make a move against him next. Don't... because you know him..."

Before he finished speaking, Mei Jinning waved her hand and smiled, "You're really overestimating the relationship between him and me. I only pulled him in to cooperate because I wanted to deal with Gu Hui."

Chen Wu nodded in satisfaction.

"Good, as long as you don't interfere, that's fine."

Mei Jinning snorted.

"Don't worry, I definitely won't interfere. However, I still have to advise you, he isn't the kind of young boss you've dealt with before. His methods are quite formidable."

Chen Wu became annoyed again.

"No matter how formidable he is, he's just a young boss. Stop inflating his prestige in front of me!"

Mei Jinning let out a 'Heh,' a calculating gleam flickering in her eyes.

"Young boss?"

"Do you know how many times he increased his company's market value in the past year?"

Chen Wu: "...How many?"

Mei Jinning sneered,

"I can't be bothered to tell you the specifics. You can check it yourself. Anyway... as far as I know, when he took over Company Name six months ago, its market value had dropped below one billion. Now... it's at least several billion now~"

Chen Wu pursed his lips and took a sip of wine from his glass.

Xia Tiantian and Ren Ling were unclear about what Chen Wu was thinking.

After listening to Mei Jinning, they had only one thought.

They absolutely had to find that formidable young boss again for a chat!

Such an interesting person, they couldn't miss out...

The drinking session hadn't even ended when Chen Wu left early.

After Mei Jinning's reminder, he felt he must take the initiative.

Losing the land was a minor issue.

Losing face was the major one.

Previously, out of respect for Gu Hui, he had colluded with Gu Hui to let Shen Yan win some money in a gamble.

At that time, he viewed Shen Yan as a spineless person with no ambition.

Now it seemed that the other party wasn't without ambition; he simply didn't care about the money from the gamble.

Since the other party was so arrogant as to make him lose face, he would make Shen Yan go bankrupt over this piece of land!

Thinking this, he took out his phone and called his secretary.

"Find a few people who run shell companies and have them come over tomorrow. It's time to use them."

The secretary acknowledged.

At this time, Shen Yan had just returned home.

Because Huzhou was too far from his home, Shen Ya and Youyou were already asleep by the time he got back.

"Snap!"

He turned on the living room light, tossed the things in his hand onto the table, and collapsed onto the sofa.

Looking at the glaring white light above his head, he closed his eyes and activated the semi-transparent electronic screen of the tycoon system.

The information on the electronic screen was mostly unchanged.

The only thing constantly fluctuating was his personal assets.

Compared to the paltry balance at the beginning, his current assets could be considered quite considerable.

Perhaps because he had been so worried about money a year ago that his hair had turned white, seeing these numbers now gave him an indescribable sense of security.

However... his ambition didn't stop there.

A mere few billion in liquid assets could only barely get him into the top few on the local rich list; it wasn't enough to get him on the global rich list.

Since he possessed the tycoon system, his goal wasn't just to be the richest man locally; he aimed to be the richest man in the entire country, or even the world!

The artificial intelligence project and the resort development were only the beginning...

After resting on the sofa for a while, Shen Yan went to the bathroom to wash up and prepare for bed.

After all, only with good rest would he have enough energy to continue striving tomorrow.

Noon the next day.

Shen Yan got up and went to work.

As soon as he arrived at the company, he heard the Employees cheering.

Looking puzzled, he walked over to Chen Guangke and asked, "What's going on?"

Hearing Shen Yan's question, Chen Guangke pursed his lips and replied, "Didn't you say we get two days off next week?"

Shen Yan suddenly realized.

"So they're happy because of the holiday?"

Chen Guangke nodded.

"Actually, I just said it casually. With so much going on now, giving two days off all at once, will it..."

Before he could finish, Shen Yan smiled and said, "Alright, no matter how busy the company is, it won't collapse in two days. Stop worrying about the boss for me."
