59: Chapter 59 Able to bend and stretch

He Yunri smiled without saying a word.

Yang Jin understood that this apology was not sincere enough.

"And there's Mr. Shen; you need to apologize to him as well. After all, you wronged him."

Chen Ling bit her lip, her eyes reddening as she turned around.

"Mr. Shen, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have wronged you by saying you stole someone else's invitation, nor should I have said you weren't qualified to attend our banquet."

"I'll finish this glass of wine! Consider it my apology to you!"

With that, Chen Ling took a glass of red wine from the Waitress's tray and drained it in one gulp.

Seeing this, the people around her couldn't help but admire Chen Ling a little.

Even Shen Yan was quite impressed by her.

To be so adaptable and resilient—she truly was a capable person!

"Apologizing to just the two of us isn't enough, is it? Isn't there one more person you've offended?"

After saying this, Shen Yan looked at Chen Ling with an expectant gaze, as if watching a play.

Chen Ling's face twitched. She picked up another glass of red wine from the Waitress's tray and said to Liu Hui:

"I'm sorry, Miss. I shouldn't have spoken to you like that just now. I apologize to you!"

Another glass of red wine went down her throat.

Chen Ling's face had turned completely red.

"Alright, everyone can get back to what they were doing."

He Yunri gave the word, and the crowd dispersed.

The matter had come to a complete close.

Five minutes later, the banquet began.

"Hello, you must be Mr. Shen. My surname is Chen, you can call me Chen Wu..."

As soon as the banquet started, many people sought out Shen Yan.

The reason they approached Shen Yan was simple.

Because He Yunri had just acknowledged Shen Yan as one of his own, everyone went to befriend Shen Yan in order to curry favor with He Yunri.

Seeing Shen Yan surrounded by people, Liu Hui tactfully walked to a corner of the banquet hall.

"Why are you eating alone in the corner? Didn't you come with Shen Yan?"

Hearing a familiar voice, Liu Hui turned her head.

Sure enough, the person who came over to talk was Chen Ling.

"What does it have to do with you? Why don't you just mind your own business?"

Chen Ling gritted her teeth and asked:

"Are you Shen Yan's new girlfriend?"

Liu Hui replied with the same five words.

"What does it have to do with you?"

Chen Ling took a deep breath and looked at Liu Hui with a warning gaze:

"I'm warning you, it's impossible for Shen Yan to fall in love with you or be with you, because he still loves me."

"You probably don't know who I am, I am..."

Before she could finish, Liu Hui interrupted her directly.

"I know who you are. Aren't you Shen Yan's Ex-wife, Chen Ling?"

"Stop being so narcissistic. Who do you think you are? You've done so many things to betray him; it's already a miracle he hasn't killed you, and you think he still loves you?"

Unable to outargue her, Chen Ling left with a sinister look and a parting threat.

"We'll just wait and see then, to see whether he still loves me or not!"

...

After the banquet ended, Shen Yan drove Liu Hui home.

"Thank you for today. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have known who to ask to be my date."

Liu Hui smiled upon hearing this.

"If you really want to thank me, then treat me to a meal."

Shen Yan readily agreed.

After the two parted ways, Shen Yan went home.

Back at home, Shen Yan looked at the empty house and felt a particularly unpleasant sensation in his heart.

Perhaps because he hadn't attended this kind of business banquet in a long time, he felt somewhat out of place.

"Xiao Ya..."

After murmuring the name, Shen Yan walked to the balcony and started smoking.

The company was now starting to get on the right track.

From here on, he would only get busier and busier.

He didn't want to let romantic feelings delay his business affairs.

Therefore, he was temporarily unable to respond to Liu Hui's feelings.

The next day, as soon as Shen Yan woke up, he saw a notification that twenty million had arrived in his account.

As soon as the money arrived, he immediately went to the company for a meeting.

"Let's head to the conference room for a meeting in a bit. I have something very important to announce to everyone."

Hearing this, Chen Guangke and Wu Ya immediately led the new recruits into the conference room.

Chen Guangke and Wu Ya had recruited a total of five people.

In addition to the basic technicians, there were also Employees for the Finance Department positions.

Seeing the company improving day by day, Shen Yan was very gratified.

He said to everyone at the meeting:

"The company is still in its startup phase, and I know everyone's workload will be heavy. But I promise that as long as you are willing to dedicate yourselves to your roles, I will definitely provide you with a matching salary."

The implication of these words was for them to work with peace of mind; he would surely give them generous salaries and bonuses.

Everyone understood his meaning and gave him a warm round of applause.

"Alright, I won't waste any more of your time. I have some good news for you: the investment has arrived."

"What we need to do next is finish the software within a month and launch it online. Is there any problem?"

Hearing this, Chen Guangke looked around and took the initiative to stand up, saying, "No problem, no problem at all!"

Having finished giving instructions, Shen Yan sent them off to their respective tasks.

On the other side, Chen Ling was inquiring about news of Shen Yan.

"You mean he started a company?!"

The secretary nodded and replied, "It's a new one. It's said they are currently recruiting heavily."

Chen Ling frowned in thought.

She clearly remembered that Shen Yan had spent all his money on medical bills.

How did Shen Yan have the money to start a company?

It was truly strange...

"Then did you find out what project their company is currently working on?"

The secretary nodded.

"They seem to be developing a job recruitment software."

Chen Ling smiled after hearing this.

"It seems they want to rely on software to build the company's momentum. Fine, I've got it. Call an internal meeting in a bit; I have something to say."

The secretary nodded to show understanding.

Half an hour later.

Chen Ling stepped into the conference room.

"I've called everyone here today mainly because I want to tell you something."

The senior executives were full of impatience.

"What is so important that it has to be said right now? I originally had an important meeting to attend, but because of this matter of yours, I ended up standing them up..."

A flash of dissatisfaction crossed Chen Ling's face, but she quickly smiled and said:

"Everyone, please stay calm. I called this internal meeting today to discuss a project with you."

"The company belongs to all of us, and we all want the company to do well."

"I've thought of a project that can make money for all of us. Are you interested?"

As soon as money was mentioned, everyone perked up.

"Tell us, what kind of project is worth calling us all together for a meeting in the middle of the day?"

Chen Ling cleared her throat and explained her idea.

Actually, her idea was very simple:

Grafting one thing onto another.

Turning Shen Yan's idea into her own.

"Actually, I think we can start a job recruitment project..."

Before she could finish her thought, a senior executive interrupted her directly.

"Wait, wait, wait. You don't mean to say that the project you mentioned that can make money for everyone is this?"
