92: Chapter 92 Lost and Found

Glancing at the sky, Shen Yan called Chen Guangke.

"Hello, Old Chen, can you check if anyone in the company is available? Can they help me..."

Before he could finish speaking, Chen Guangke replied, "We're available! Don't worry, all of us are waiting for your orders."

Shen Yan took a deep breath.

Having a reliable brother was truly too important.

He always thought of everything one step ahead of everyone else.

"Then I'll send you a location. Bring them over and help me find the child. Don't worry, whether we find her or not, I will give them overtime pay."

As soon as he said this, the voices of other Employees immediately sounded from Chen Guangke's end.

"Mr. Shen! We're already this involved, why are you still talking about overtime pay!"

"Exactly, the child is what matters. Just stop worrying about us and quickly send us the location. We'll help you search!"

"Hurry, hurry! I've already started my car, it's just a matter of stepping on the gas!"

Without further ado, Shen Yan, deeply moved, sent them his current location.

Not long after, they all arrived together.

Many hands make light work.

With everyone's help, they quickly found Youyou, who was sleeping beneath the lottery shop.

"Youyou!"

Seeing Youyou, Shen Yan shouted loudly and rushed over to pick her up.

Youyou opened her eyes, saw it was her father, and burst into tears with a loud wail.

"Daddy!"

"Why did you take so long to get here? I waited for you until I fell asleep!"

Hearing this, Shen Yan felt his heart twist in pain.

His eyes moist, he hugged Youyou and kept apologizing.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. It's Daddy who came late. Daddy apologizes to you!"

In that moment, everyone, including the police officer, was moved to tears by the touching scene.

He walked forward and patted Shen Yan's shoulder, saying, "Brother, you are a good father, truly."

Shen Yan stroked his daughter's head, holding her close, and said, "No, if I were a good father, I wouldn't have let this happen to her."

"Thank you, Officer Fang, thank you for helping us search for so long..."

The police officer shook his head and said, "You don't need to thank me. This is my job. Alright, since the child has been found, let's head back."

"Comfort the child well tonight. She was probably quite frightened."

Shen Yan nodded and thanked the police officer again.

Back in the car, seeing Youyou already fast asleep in his arms, the anxiety in Shen Yan's heart finally subsided.

"Old Shen, what exactly happened? Why did Youyou suddenly get lost?" Chen Guangke asked quietly while driving.

Mentioning this matter made Shen Yan furious.

If it weren't for Chen Ling's carelessness and her usual lack of concern for the child, leaving the child only with the Nanny at home, how could Youyou have thought of coming to find him?

This time, he was determined to use this incident to take custody away from Chen Ling!

Thinking this, he briefly explained the whole story to Chen Guangke.

"What?!"

"She is too irresponsible!"

Chen Guangke momentarily lost control of his emotions, raising his voice considerably.

Seeing that Youyou seemed on the verge of waking up, he quickly lowered his voice again, "So, what are your plans next? Are you sending Youyou back?"

Shen Yan firmly shook his head.

"I need to take Youyou back to my place first, and then sue Chen Ling."

"She'll have to give up custody whether she wants to or not!"

Chen Guangke was practically ready to support Shen Yan with both hands and feet.

"Okay, no matter what, I will always support you!"

It was already deep into the night when they arrived home.

The Employees had all returned to their respective homes.

After taking Youyou to her room to rest, Shen Yan closed the bedroom door and walked into the living room to tell Chen Guangke, "Tomorrow, talk to the Finance Department. Give them an extra bonus for overtime pay this month."

Chen Guangke frowned.

"Didn't they all say they didn't need it? Do you really need to be so polite to them?"

Shen Yan made a 'tsk' sound, "Are you genuinely dense or just pretending?"

"It's their business if they don't want it, but I cannot fail to do so. They sacrificed their personal time to accompany me to find the child. Morally and rightfully, I must compensate them."

Chen Guangke pondered it and felt Shen Yan had a point.

Indeed.

The Employees could say they didn't want it, but Shen Yan couldn't fail to offer it.

It was a gesture, and an attitude.

Putting that topic aside,

Shen Yan and Chen Guangke started discussing the matter they had talked about on the phone.

"By the way, what was that thing about the large company bidding you mentioned?"

Hearing the question, Chen Guangke recounted the story slowly.

The matter was actually very simple.

This large company was among the top fifty globally, named Zhongqing.

They specialized in investment, similar to the former Hengtian Company.

It was just that their company was slightly larger than Hengtian Company, and their business scope was also more diverse.

Recently, various industries were not performing well.

Thus, Zhongqing had set its sights on the internet industry, which was developing quite well.

Because they lacked experience, they decided to issue a public tender to invest in projects with potential and a promising future.

After briefly understanding the whole situation, Shen Yan asked confusedly, "They are putting out ten million for a public tender?"

Chen Guangke nodded, also looking puzzled.

"That's what was written on the company website. Actually, I find it strange too."

"With that much money, they could completely assemble capable personnel to work for them, or if that didn't work, they could invest in some promising companies. Why would they publicly tender for projects?"

Shen Yan was unsure, but he had an intuition that there was something fishy about it.

After thinking for a moment, he said to Chen Guangke, "Don't rush to sign up yet. Let's observe the situation first."

Chen Guangke was a bit anxious.

"But there are so many people interested in this project right now. What if we fall too far behind and don't get a spot?"

Shen Yan smiled, "You also know that many people are eyeing this company. Standing out among so many excellent projects is no simple feat."

"Let's focus on perfecting our own project first."

Chen Guangke smacked his lips and replied, "You have better foresight. I'll listen to you."

The late-night conversation ended, and Chen Guangke returned to his own home.

The house returned to silence. Shen Yan tiptoed into the bedroom and tucked the blanket around Youyou.

"Youyou, don't worry. I won't let anyone harm you, not even if that person is your mother."

He whispered softly.

A plan gradually took shape in Shen Yan's mind.

The next day.

He was awakened by Chen Ling's phone call.

"Where is Youyou? I want to bring Youyou back!"

The person on the other end immediately demanded the child.

Shen Yan opened his eyes and replied calmly, "The child is with me, but I won't let you take her back."

"Since you clearly don't have time to look after the child, then the child should stay with me."
