64: Chapter 64 Objective Achieved

"Mr. Shen, I am truly sorry. I was blind not to recognize your greatness!"

Shen Yan frowned slightly. He stepped forward to help the security guard up and said to him,

"It's not such a big deal. Why make such a huge scene?"

A look of joy appeared on the guard's face. Thinking Shen Yan wouldn't hold a grudge, he hurriedly expressed his gratitude.

"Thank you, Mr. Shen, for being merciful and letting me off!"

Shen Yan gave a contemptuous smile.

He only said there was no need to make a huge scene; he never said he was going to let the man off.

"Indeed, I am a magnanimous man, so you can just pack up and leave."

The guard's face twitched, and his lips trembled as he asked,

"This... are you firing me?"

Shen Yan raised an eyebrow and countered,

"What else?"

"You didn't think I'd treat what you just said as if you were talking in your sleep, did you?"

To his surprise, the guard burst into tears after hearing this.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Shen. Please, in your great mercy, forgive me just this once. I have elderly parents and young children to support, and there's a sick person at home. I really need this job..."

"Just because you have parents, children, and a sick person at home, does that give you the right to mock others and look down on people?"

The guard knelt on the ground, unable to utter a word for a long time.

Seeing this, the manager hurried forward and said, "Mr. Shen, I'm so sorry. This man is just stubborn and slow-witted. Rest assured, I will handle this matter properly."

"I guarantee you will never see him here again when you visit."

Just then, Bi Ming also spoke up.

He pushed aside the beautiful woman he had just been holding in his arms and walked toward Shen Yan.

"Mr. Shen, right?"

"Not bad, not bad at all. I quite admire your temperament. Come, let's go inside and have a good drink."

Shen Yan's goal had always been to attract Bi Ming's attention.

Now that the objective was achieved, he naturally wouldn't stay here any longer.

"Fine, since the manager has said so, I'll leave this to you. I don't want to see him here ever again."

The manager bowed and said, "Rest assured, sir. You will definitely never see him here again."

Hearing this, the guard slumped onto the ground in despair.

Shen Yan followed Bi Ming into the bar, and the latter led him toward a private booth.

"Is this your first time here?"

Shen Yan put on a restrained appearance.

"If it weren't my first time, I wouldn't have been unaware that an invitation and an entry ticket were required to enter."

Bi Ming asked Shen Yan with interest, "What suddenly made you want to come here?"

"Don't you feel cheated, spending a million to buy an invitation?"

Shen Yan huffed and said, "That guard provoked me so much. He thought I couldn't afford an invitation, so I just had to buy one to show him!"

Bi Ming burst out laughing.

"Why bother getting worked up over a security guard?"

"Well, meeting is fate. Let me introduce myself, I'm Bi Ming. And you?"

A sharp glint flashed in Shen Yan's eyes as he replied, "My name is Shen Yan. You can call me Old Shen."

Bi Ming clicked his tongue, picked up a bottle of whiskey from the table, opened it, and poured a glass for Shen Yan.

"You look about the same age as me. Calling you 'Old Shen' makes you sound too old, doesn't it?"

"How about this, I'll call you President Shen."

Shen Yan raised his glass and clinked it with Bi Ming's.

"So, are you the owner of this bar?"

Bi Ming took two sips of the liquor and swirled the ice cubes in his glass.

"You flatter me. I'm just a shareholder; the owner is someone else."

Shen Yan nodded and said nothing more.

After a while, several beautiful women swarmed into the booth.

"Hello, bosses!"

Shen Yan blinked and pointed at the women, asking Bi Ming,

"What's the meaning of this?"

Bi Ming winked at Shen Yan and said,

"Why play dumb with me?"

"You came here, isn't this exactly what you're after?"

Shen Yan hesitated to speak.

Seeing his expression, Bi Ming thought Shen Yan was just being shy.

"Tsk! Why are you all just standing there like idiots?!"

"Hurry over and keep President Shen company!"

Hearing this, the women immediately walked over and sat down beside Shen Yan.

As soon as they touched him, it was as if Shen Yan had been burned; he instantly sprang up from his seat.

"No, no, no!"

"That's not what I meant, CEO Bi."

CEO Bi was getting a bit impatient, thinking Shen Yan was putting on an act of being pure.

Little did he know, Shen Yan wasn't acting; he really was inexperienced.

Back when he had just become successful, he had fallen for his Ex-wife, Chen Ling.

Under Chen Ling's strict control, he never had the chance to visit such places of entertainment.

Therefore, he was completely lacking in experience when it came to such situations.

"Then what exactly did you come here for? Surely you didn't come just to see me and have a couple of drinks?"

Shen Yan paused, then nodded and said honestly, "Actually, I did."

This answer was quite unexpected for Bi Ming.

He squinted and pondered for a moment before waving the women away, signaling them to leave.

Once it was just the two of them left in the booth, Bi Ming patted the seat next to him and said to Shen Yan,

"Sit. What do you want to see me about?"

Shen Yan picked up his glass, sat down, and replied, "You might not believe me, but my goal is simple. I came here just to make friends with you."

Bi Ming burst out laughing upon hearing this.

Who that came here wasn't looking to make friends?

He felt Shen Yan was talking nonsense.

"Fine, fine, fine. So what's your motive for making friends with me?"

"Is it for company matters, or for the resort?"

The resort?

Doubt rose in Shen Yan's heart.

Could it be that someone else had approached Bi Ming recently besides him?

However, that wasn't something he needed to worry about right now.

"It's not for company business, nor for the resort. I simply want to be friends with you. One more connection means one more path in life, after all."

Bi Ming didn't believe a word Shen Yan said.

But in the business world...

One always says what needs to be said to get by.

"Sure, you want to be friends? Then let's be friends."

*Clink!*

Their glasses met.

An electronic sound rang in his ears.

Shen Yan's mission was a success.

[Ding! Special mission completed. advanced wealth intelligence is being issued: Half a month ago, Bi Corporation purchased an exorbitantly priced plot of land to build a resort. However, the resort project has been stalled due to a holdout tenant on that plot of land.]

After reading the advanced wealth intelligence, Shen Yan began to ponder:

What he had thought before was indeed correct.

Special missions were a setup for advanced wealth intelligence.

advanced wealth intelligence usually brought him money-making opportunities.

So, could this resort project bring him a chance to make money?

While he was lost in thought, Bi Ming took a phone call.

"Hello, I'm here!"

"In the booth upstairs. Where are you? Fine, I'll come down now!"
