082: Let’s apologize to Xu Yao together
Jiang Zhiyan found Shen Shuping and Wen Zhicheng very interesting, but the two of them found Jiang Zhiyan very inhumane.
Businessmen give each other face. Jiang Zhiyan didn't need to be so extreme. He didn't give any face at all - he even refused to meet. It can be seen how determined Jiang Zhiyan's attitude is!
Shen Yan was unable to make an appointment with Jiang Zhiyan, and Shen Shuping was very puzzled.
"Did you offend Jiang Zhiyan?"
Chen Yan was also confused. "The last time I invited Mr. Jiang to dinner, it was clearly a great occasion for both the host and the guests."
"If both the host and the guest are enjoying themselves, why would he ignore you?"
Shen Shuping's question stumped Shen Yan.
That night at dinner, Shen Yan felt that he and Jiang Zhiyan had a very good chat. At that time, he really couldn't see any impatience in Jiang Zhiyan. However, when he wanted to make another appointment with Jiang Zhiyan later, Jiang Zhiyan said he didn't have time.
Jiang Zhiyan runs a short video platform. Did he make a mistake when he mentioned the MCN agency?
Chen Yan reflected on himself for a long time and asked various people about it. He vaguely realized that he might have violated Jiang Zhiyan's taboo.
"I heard that Jiang Zhiyan's sister is also running an MCN company. Jiang Zhiyan is absolutely impartial towards his sister."
After much thought, Chen Yan could only come up with this reason, but Chen Shuping disagreed: "Who would really not be partial? It's just a show to the outside world, to warn other MCN companies not to cross the line! I think Jiang Zhiyan didn't meet you because Huahu had already made up his mind to buy that piece of land... I heard that Jiang Zhiyan was also a playboy who didn't work hard before, I didn't expect him to be so cunning!"
Shen Shuping used to think that Jiang Zhiyan was just lucky and happened to catch the entrepreneurial boom, but now he has developed a fear of Jiang Zhiyan.
Shen Shuping even felt that Jiang Zhiyan was willing to meet Shen Yan before just to get some information out of Shen Yan!
No, Jiang Zhiyan had started planning this earlier, and had been trying to confuse Shen Shuping since the day he attended Shen Yan's engagement party.
Chen Yan denied it repeatedly: "I never mentioned anything about the land in front of Jiang Zhiyan!"
The land was in a prime location, and if word leaked, the other bidders would drive up the price. Therefore, Chen Shuping and Wen Zhicheng kept their partnership very low-key. Wen Zhicheng not only kept it a secret from Lin Meixian, but also from his daughter Wen Yiyi, fearing she would be tempted to show off to Xu Yao. Similarly, Chen Shuping kept the secret from his wife, leaving only his son, Shen Yan, in the loop.
Chen Yan did not disappoint Shen Shuping's trust and never mentioned this matter in front of Xu Yao.
Shen Shuping still trusted his own son very much and felt that something must have gone wrong on Wen Zhicheng's side.
"Even if Hua Hu is willing to sell, I don't know how much higher the price will be than at the auction. If it is too expensive, we will have no choice but to give up the land."
Shen Shuping’s tone was full of regret.
He and Wen Zhicheng had planned everything out, and according to Xu Qinghua's idea before his death, that piece of land was really profitable.
"So now we can only wait?"
Chen Yan was unwilling to give up. Chen Shuping looked at him and said, "Let's wait for news first. Jiang Zhiyan's attitude is so firm. Only by finding someone close to him and passing on the message can we change Jiang Zhiyan's mind. Didn't I remind you not to dwell on the past? If you had listened to me then, we wouldn't have to wait for news foolishly now. You can go to Xu Yao for help yourself!"
Chen Yan stopped talking.
On the day of Wen Zhicheng and Lin Meixian's wedding, Shen Shuping did remind Shen Yan. Shen Yan said that he knew the seriousness of the matter, but in the end he couldn't help but mock Gu Jun a few times.
At that time, Chen Yan only wanted to make himself happy, and thought that Gu Jun was just an ordinary programmer, so he didn't care how Gu Jun felt after hearing those words.
With the scale of the Shen family's business, they are not afraid of offending a programmer without a family background.
But things changed so quickly. Although Gu Jun had no family background, he was highly regarded by Jiang Zhiyan. Jiang Zhiyan even bought the land that the Shen Yan family wanted very much!
If Chen Yan had anticipated this day earlier, he would have definitely controlled himself and not spoken carelessly.
Just as Shen Shuping said, based on their understanding of Xu Yao's character, if there had not been a previous grudge, Xu Yao would most likely not refuse if Shen Yan asked her for help!
Or maybe, the last time Xu Yao called Chen Yan to talk about the engagement party video, Chen Yan could have responded calmly and made Xu Yao owe him a favor.
Unfortunately, Chen Yan was not calm enough. He acquiesced to Wen Yiyi hiring a group of internet trolls to attack Xu Yao, and also acquiesced to Wen Yiyi putting pressure on the advertising company!
Xu Yao lost her job at the advertising company.
Shen Yan thought that job didn't pay much, but Xu Yao took it very seriously. When they were together, Xu Yao often canceled dates in order to work overtime.
Chen Yan felt inexplicably heavy.
Were Xu Yao sad on the day she resigned?
When she was sad, was it Gu Jun who comforted her?
…
Chen Yan still feels upset, but Wen Yiyi can't even write the word "annoyed".
When Wen Yiyi heard that Gu Jun was needed to help with the family business, she said confidently, "Why not just tell Xu Yao?"
Wen Zhicheng glared at Wen Yiyi and said, "What are you going to say to Xu Yao? Are you going to use the 'friendship' you and Xu Yao have had for so many years?!"
Wen Yiyi turned to look at Lin Meixian, "Aunt Lin, don't you always say that we are a family? How can you bear to see your family in trouble now?"
Lin Meixian was calm and composed.
"Of course we're family, but family members should have boundaries sometimes. Yiyi, you said a few days ago that you wanted to check my accounts, worried that I was taking money from the Wen family to give to Xu Yaohua. This happened only a few days ago, and you've forgotten so quickly?"
Lin Meixian didn't give Wen Yiyi any face.
Wen Yiyi argued: "I just said it casually, and in the end my dad didn't check it, right? Why are you so fussy about it? You're still an elder!"
At this time, Wen Yiyi knew that Lin Meixian was an elder.
Normally, if there was no need, Wen Yiyi would roll her eyes to the sky in front of Lin Meixian.
Lin Meixian did not argue with Wen Yiyi, but just looked at Wen Zhicheng with a gentle face.
How could Wen Zhicheng have the nerve to force Lin Meixian?
He always looked confident in front of Lin Meixian. When he proposed to her, he promised that after marriage, Lin Meixian would have no worries about food and clothing, and that Lin Meixian's living standard would be the same as when Xu Qinghua was alive. It was with such sincerity and diligence that Wen Zhicheng moved Lin Meixian and agreed to remarry... If he forced Lin Meixian to help him with connections, wouldn't he be slapping himself in the face?
"Yiyi, follow me now to apologize to Xu Yao."
Wen Zhicheng focused his firepower on Wen Yiyi, but Wen Yiyi would never agree: "Without Xu Yao's husband, you can't do business? I don't believe it!"
Wen Yiyi was already engaged and was receiving a "salary" from Shen Yan's company, so she was not afraid of Wen Zhicheng's economic sanctions at all.
Anyway, she has no money and wears tattered clothes, and Chen Yan will be embarrassed together. Wen Yiyi is confident now. If she is unhappy at home, she can just turn around and leave.
Wen Zhicheng was so annoyed by this woman that he leaned back on the sofa and gasped for breath. Lin Meixian patted Wen Zhicheng's back to calm him down. "You know how awkward things are between Yiyi and Yaoyao, and you're still forcing Yiyi to apologize. A forced melon won't be sweet. How about we just let it go?"
——Of course we can’t just let it go like this.
Wen Zhicheng forced himself to stand up from the sofa and said, "I'll call Shen Yan. He will listen to what I say."
Lin Meixian did not comment.
Wen Zhicheng couldn't even teach his daughter well, so how could he expect Chen Yan to help?
…
Wen Yiyi complained a lot in front of Chen Yan, but Chen Yan didn't react much.
Wen Yiyi was dissatisfied. "You also think that I should apologize to Xu Yao, just to let Xu Yao's husband arrange a meeting between my father and Jiang Zhiyan? Putting aside whether Xu Yao's husband has such great ability, you are forcing me like this just for a business deal, is it really that serious?"
Chen Yan looked up at her and said, "Don't be impulsive. It's just a verbal apology and you won't lose a piece of meat. This is not a simple business. If Xu Yao's husband is willing to help me, I can go with you to apologize."
Wen Yiyi was completely speechless.
——Is Chen Yan crazy, or is this world crazy? Is a small programmer so important?!
