At the dinner table, Shen Baiyan thoughtfully added food to Su Wan's plate, saying, "Eat more."
Su Wan looked up at him, a complex expression appearing in her eyes.
After that, Shen Baiyan no longer got angry with Su Wan; he seemed to have come to terms with it.
After the meal, Su Wan's originally firm belief wavered a bit because of Shen Baiyan's thoughtfulness. She felt inexplicably depressed and uncomfortable.
After finishing their meal, the two stepped out of the elevator: "Where are you staying? I'll take you there."
Su Wan refused: "No need, I'll take a taxi back myself."
Shen Baiyan gave a helpless smile: "Are you afraid that if I find out your address I'll bother you?"
Su Wan did not answer.
Shen Baiyan added, "If you have nowhere to live, I have several houses that I can give to you, rent to you, or lend to you."
Su Wan smiled slightly: "Thank you, I have a place to stay."
Shen Baiyan said, "No need to force yourself, just consider it my tuition fee."
Suddenly, Shen Baiyan's phone rang.
Seeing that it was Xu Han calling, he answered coldly, "Speak!"
"President, Mr. Jiang from the Jiang Group has come to visit you at the company."
Jiang Jinyu?
What did he want from me?
He has already withdrawn from the electronic blackboard business.
"Okay, I'll be right there." He then hung up the phone.
Seeing that Su Wan didn't speak, he quickly explained, "It's not Qiao Xingyu, there's something going on at the company."
Su Wan pursed her lips: "You don't need to explain to me."
"Su Wan..."
Shen Baiyan's eyes were somewhat forlorn, and he hesitated to speak.
Su Wan looked at him quietly, waiting for him to speak.
Shen Baiyan didn't say anything more in the end, only saying, "Take good care of yourself."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Su Wan watched the tall, departing figure, her vision gradually blurring.
Warm liquid slid down her face, and Su Wan reached up to touch it, only to realize that she had actually shed tears.
Why did she shed tears?
Is it because they are reluctant to part with it?
No, it's not.
She is just prone to sentimentality and dislikes scenes of parting.
Shen's Group —
Shen Baiyan rushed back to the company. His assistant, Xu Han, was waiting at the gate. When he saw Shen Baiyan, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "President, President Jiang is already waiting for you in the meeting room."
"Take him to my office," Shen Baiyan said, and hurried towards the office.
A short while later, Jiang Jinyu, led by Xu Han, entered Shen Baiyan's office.
"President Shen is such a busy man, I almost didn't get to see him." Jiang Jinyu couldn't help but tease Shen Baiyan as soon as he saw him.
Shen Baiyan stopped what he was doing, looked up at him coolly, and retorted, "As long as you don't die, I'll always be here. Even if you die, I'll still be here."
Jiang Jinyu lazily walked to the office sofa and sat down: "You don't look well. What happened?"
"When have I ever been nice to you?" Shen Baiyan glanced at him sideways and then went back to work.
Jiang Jinyu said, "Today is different; you're in a terrible mood."
Shen Baiyan closed the file and looked at him: "Stop changing the subject, just tell me, what's up?"
Jiang Jinyu said, "I've come to discuss a deal with you."
Ever since Gu Chu told him about the dangers of the 'Smart Learning Machine' incident, he suddenly remembered that when he last met Lu Guangwen, Shen Baiyan was clearly not interested in the 'Smart Learning Machine'.
He wondered why Shen Baiyan wasn't interested, since Shen Baiyan was even more interested in making money than he was.
Did Shen Baiyan also know about the shady dealings involved?
In order to find out what was going on, Jiang Jinyu came to find Shen Baiyan specifically to try to get information out of him and see if he was also aware of the risks associated with the 'Smart Learning Machine'.
Upon hearing this, Shen Baiyan got up and walked over.
Jiang Jinyu continued, "I can give you back the 'Smart Learning Machine' business, as long as you let me invest in the Yufeng Hotel project."
Yufeng Hotel is a military-owned hotel near a military base in City A. Due to certain reasons, the military put the hotel project out to tender, and Shen's Group ultimately won the bid.
Being able to establish connections with the military undoubtedly provides the group with an extra layer of protection.
Jiang Jinyu regretted that he was unable to participate.
Jiang Jinyu wanted to use this opportunity to test Shen Baiyan. If Shen Baiyan agreed, he would have killed two birds with one stone.
While pushing Shen Baiyan into the fire, they also used him as a match to cook their own meal, truly embodying the principle of 'selling someone out and then having them help count the money'.
Unfortunately, the imagination is too rich and the reality is too skinny.
Upon hearing this, Shen Baiyan immediately retorted sarcastically, "Jiang Jinyu, I'm not a junk collector!"
Shen Baiyan's meaning was clear: he was unwilling.
A complex look flashed in Jiang Jinyu's eyes. He compromised and said, "Don't rush. It's okay if you don't want to invest. Let's talk about other deals."
Shen Baiyan refused again: "No need to talk, I don't need it!"
Seeing Shen Baiyan's straightforward refusal, Jiang Jinyu became even more suspicious that Shen Baiyan might know something.
"So heartless? Fine, I'll be magnanimous and let you off this time. I don't want anything, but I'll return the 'Smart Learning Machine' business to you. Consider it a favor you owe me."
Jiang Jinyu insisted on tricking Shen Baiyan and also trying to get some benefits from his words.
Unexpectedly, Shen Baiyan didn't fall for his act at all.
"Mr. Jiang, do you not understand? I said I don't need that business because I don't think it's good enough for me!" Shen Baiyan said coldly.
Seeing Shen Baiyan's insistence, Jiang Jinyu became even more certain that Shen Baiyan knew something.
His eyes flashed as he thought of how to determine whether Shen Baiyan knew the inside story.
He asked, "What about the 'electronic blackboard' business?"
Shen Baiyan looked at him suspiciously: "What do you mean? You're willing to give me that business?"
