Chapter 208: Preliminary Intent Finalized

Approaching ten in the morning, the sunlight became increasingly warm and pleasant. Inside the Chen family study, Chen Shanni and Chen Jun sat side by side, with Shen Yan sitting opposite them.

On the windowsill sat a lush pothos plant, emitting a fresh and elegant scent. The dappled sunlight hit the emerald green leaves, and one could seemingly see the veins and branches on their undersides.

After finishing his explanation of the grim market situation, Shen Yan leaned back on the sofa and continued with full confidence: "Although Uncle Chen is renowned in the investment field, in this kind of market environment, it is not so easy to convince others to invest in you."

"But I am different. While I cannot provide any help on the technical level, I have a very clear plan for the direction of technological innovation."

"Furthermore, as an investor, Uncle Chen is not my only choice. At worst, I can go it alone. Technical talent is everywhere in the market; it would just take some time."

For a moment, Chen Jun was truly taken aback by Shen Yan.

He did not know where Shen Yan got such substantial financial resources, but he figured it was not a shot in the dark.

A unique eye, fully prepared, and an analysis that hit the nail on the head, striking the vital point. Although his negotiation skills were still a bit green, he already faintly possessed the air of a great general.

This was Chen Jun's assessment of Shen Yan.

He began to wonder what exactly had happened to make a person undergo such earth-shaking changes in just a few short months.

If only he had a son like this.

Thinking this, Chen Jun swept his gaze to the side, only to see his own precious daughter with her eyes lowered and cheeks flushed, which left him completely baffled.

Chen Jun rubbed the ring on his finger lightly, his gaze as deep as the sea, making it difficult to fathom the profound meaning contained within.

Time ticked away slowly. As Chen Jun was immersed in thought, Shen Yan did not disturb him, instead using his phone to chat with Wu Yue'er.

Wu Yue'er: "Are you done talking? So boring!"

Shen Yan: "Still talking. Can girls really be bored while shopping?"

Wu Yue'er: "Hehe! I miss you."

Shen Yan: "Where do you miss me? (smirk)"

Wu Yue'er: "Everywhere (provocative)"

Shen Yan: "I feel like you're being a slut, and I have evidence."

Wu Yue'er: "Yeah, yeah! I am your little slut."

The two chatted as they pleased. Wu Yue'er was truly overflowing with wantonness. A while ago, Shen Yan had torn several pairs of her black stockings. She was currently at the mall browsing a lingerie store, having taken many photos of sexy outfits to ask Shen Yan which one he liked.

Feeling the temptation wasn't enough, she used her phone to aim at her own beautiful legs in black stockings, her jade hand resting on her calf, stroking from bottom to top in an extremely ambiguous motion.

Finally, the camera aimed at her face; she bit her lower lip with her pearly teeth, making a seductive kissing motion, her peach-blossom eyes fluttering with electricity.

Watching this video, Shen Yan instantly lost his composure, typing to scold Wu Yue'er as a dead vixen, a slutty bitch, and saying he would deal with her fiercely later.

Damn! Such a top-tier beauty, I'm afraid even a legendary saint of self-restraint wouldn't be able to keep his composure if he saw this.

Wu Yue'er giggled on the other end: "Come on, come on, my butt is itching."

At this moment, Chen Jun finally cleared his thoughts. Looking at Shen Yan, who was lowering his head and playing with his phone comfortably, he couldn't help but feel a thousand emotions.

A young man dared to throw so much money into testing the waters; what did he, a veteran investor, have to hesitate about?

Do it!

In fact, he had been perfecting his plan to enter the mobile phone market for some time. He knew the technical talent; they were all capable hands and trustworthy.

The only problem was the funding. Although his net worth was substantial, most of it was invested in several internet companies, so it was clearly unrealistic to pull out so much capital in a short time.

Besides, doing business is about sharing risks.

Facing the unknown, he didn't have the certainty of a sure win. He had originally planned to contact some old friends, but now that an investment had been delivered to his door, it saved him the trouble.

Who he gets the investment from in the early stages doesn't really matter.

Once some results are achieved, the big-name investors will naturally enter one after another.

Thinking of this, Chen Jun spoke unhurriedly: "Shen Yan, in principle, I very much welcome your investment, but the specific amount still needs to be discussed. Also, there are some details... We can discuss the specifics once the business plan is out."

Done!

Hearing this, Shen Yan couldn't suppress his excitement.

The main point of coming here today was to finalize the preliminary intent. As for interfering with company operations, Shen Yan had absolutely no interest, as long as Chen Jun didn't mess around with the money.

Both sides were very satisfied with the conversation.

Approaching mealtime, Chen Jun invited Shen Yan to stay for a meal. After a moment of hesitation, Shen Yan politely declined the offer.

"Uncle Chen, I still have some things to handle in Shanghai. We have plenty of time ahead, so I won't disturb you this time."

Hearing this, Chen Jun did not try to persuade him further, only telling him to come over and sit often when he had time. He was increasingly appreciative of this young man.

He has courage! He has methods!

Afterwards, Chen Shanni walked Shen Yan to the parking lot. After hesitating for a long time, Chen Shanni ultimately didn't ask the question in her heart, only curious if Hao Anqi knew Shen Yan was so wealthy.

"She only knows a small part. It's better not to mix too much money into a relationship between a man and a woman," Shen Yan said in a deep voice.

Chen Shanni deeply agreed. This thought was identical to her own; the value of making friends lies in sincerity, and mixing in money is ultimately lacking something.

From this, it could be seen that Shen Yan was truly serious about Hao Anqi.

Watching the black car disappear around the corner, Chen Shanni sighed softly, her eyes as deep as the ocean...

Returning home, the nanny was moving delicious food onto the dining table one plate at a time. The spacious dining room was filled with the aroma of food. Chen Jun and Wei Wenli were preparing to sit down. Seeing Chen Shanni return, Chen Jun finally asked the question that had been weighing on him for a long time.

"Shanni, isn't Shen Yan a student from an ordinary family background? How can he be so rich?"

Chen Shanni shook her head and said somewhat uncertainly: "I'm not too sure either. He often skips class and is nowhere to be found; I guess he's busy with his career outside. However, he just returned from Macau the day before yesterday. I suspect this money likely came from the casino."

Chen Jun and Wei Wenli suddenly realized.

With Shen Yan's monstrous memory, it wouldn't be difficult to rake in a fortune at a casino.

Chen Jun laughed at himself, thinking of the dog-blood scenario he had imagined where Shen Mu had made a fortune and wanted to come back to acknowledge her son.

Chen Jun had no prejudice against gambling. If you can win money, it's your ability; if you lose, don't blame others. To be honest, who wouldn't want to possess this ability to get something for nothing, treating the casino like an ATM and just going to scoop up a sum whenever they were short on cash?

Talent is just that unreasonable.

Shen Mu knew very little about casinos and always heard about people around her losing their families and homes because of it. Thinking of the scenes in Hong Kong movies where they don't let you leave after winning money, she couldn't help but feel a sense of dread.

She asked Chen Jun if this kind of thing would happen, and Chen Shanni cast a nervous look over.

"Everything in the movies is fake; casinos use a commission model, so they aren't afraid of guests winning money, they're only afraid of guests not coming."

"Besides, that kid is as cunning as a fox, what could possibly happen to him?" Chen Jun was experienced and knowledgeable, and he was very clear about the nature of casinos.

Chen Shanni let out a soft sigh of relief.

This scene was taken in by Wei Wenli; no one knows a daughter better than her mother, so Wei Wenli picked up a piece of shrimp that Shanni liked best and placed it in her bowl, asking nonchalantly, "Shanni, have you met Shen Yan's girlfriend?"

Chen Jun's ears pricked up high.
