Chapter 330: Borrowing Money

According to the plan, the company was to hold a shareholders' meeting in the morning to discuss the company's future development direction and make corresponding decisions.

However, after that conversation last night, Chen Jun already had a clear direction in his heart.

There was no longer any need to hold the shareholders' meeting.

The company's three decision-makers gathered together to discuss matters regarding mobile phone research and development.

For example, which suppliers to cooperate with, for chips, screens, cameras, and so on.

Shen Yan had conducted an investigation beforehand and listed the available options, with a focus on describing the suppliers that Xiaogu chose in his previous life.

For chips, choose Qualcomm; for screens, choose Samsung; for cameras...

Chen Jun and Lin Bin were circling and sketching with pen and paper, nodding in agreement at times, and frowning in thought at others.

The three of them were expressing their own opinions there.

At this moment, Shen Yan's phone vibrated, and upon taking it out to look, it was actually a call from Hao Anqi.

After pondering for a moment, Shen Yan swiped his finger to the left and continued the previous topic: "Since we are going to make high-end smartphones, we naturally have to choose the top-tier suppliers, so..."

At the same time, at the Hangzhou University teaching building.

It was class time, and Hao Anqi was wearing a wheat-colored sweater, paired with dark blue jeans, which outlined her jade-like legs to be long and slender.

Beneath the jeans was a pair of black Martin boots.

She held onto the back door of the classroom with both hands, her charming and lively eyes scanning inside, but she just couldn't find that familiar figure.

It happened that Pang Weijie returned from the restroom and recognized her as Shen Yan's girlfriend, so he asked, "Are you here to look for Shen Yan?"

Hao Anqi nodded hurriedly: "Did he not come to class today?"

A flash of surprise crossed Pang Weijie's eyes: "Shen Yan hasn't been here for a week; didn't he tell you?"

Hao Anqi smiled awkwardly, and after saying thanks, she turned and left in a hurry; as she walked, she dialed Shen Yan's phone, but after a few crisp rings.

The call... was actually hung up.

Hao Anqi stood there in a daze.

This was the first time since they had known each other that Shen Yan had rejected her call.

Was it because he was still angry, so he didn't want to hear her voice?

Thinking of this, Hao Anqi's eyes turned red, and tears gushed out like a broken levee.

It wasn't until half an hour later that Shen Yan called Hao Anqi back.

As soon as it connected, Shen Yan heard the sobbing in the receiver and immediately felt a bit agitated, asking: "Why are you crying?"

"Why didn't you answer my call just now? Are you still angry with me?" Hao Anqi sniffled, trying her best to calm herself down.

Shen Yan said he was in a meeting just now and it wasn't very convenient; Hao Anqi felt less distressed then, and after pondering for a long time, she said again: "Can you lend me twenty thousand yuan?"

At this time, Shen Yan was standing by the window in the company corridor, one hand pressed against the windowsill, the other holding his phone, his body leaning slightly forward, overlooking the world outside through the window.

It gave him a sense of heroism, as if standing at the very peak and seeing all the mountains as small.

A cool breeze blew by, carrying a hint of imperceptible spring.

One spring rain brings one bit of warmth; one has to say, the changes of nature are truly infinitely wonderful. Clearly, Shanghai was still bitingly cold yesterday, but this heavy rain today brought a warm breath.

It made people feel that the footsteps of spring were gradually approaching.

Hearing the voice coming from his ear, Shen Yan was slightly stunned and couldn't help but ask with concern: "What do you need money for? Did something happen?"

Hao Anqi felt a warmth in her heart, and her voice became playful unconsciously: "It's nothing, I recently opened a Taobao shop and lack capital for stocking goods."

"Ha! It seems you've learned quite a few things from me."

Shen Yan didn't feel surprised by this; having been together for so long, through constant exposure, Hao Anqi had gained a deep understanding of running an online shop.

Plus, having had the experience of shooting promotional layouts, it wouldn't be hard to get it started if she picked a good product.

Shen Yan asked what she was selling, and Hao Anqi replied women's shoes. Shen Yan estimated that twenty thousand wouldn't be enough, so he said: "I'll transfer fifty thousand to your Alipay first; tell me if it's not enough."

Hao Anqi gave a happy "mm" and thanked Shen Yan again. With this, the topic ended, and the atmosphere became silent again. Shen Yan said if there's nothing else I'll hang up, I have to have a meeting in a while.

"Oh... then take care not to be too tired!"

"Mm!"

After hanging up the phone, Shen Yan shook his head and returned to the office to continue the meeting.

At 11:30 in the morning, the assistant brought lunch, four dishes and one soup, cooked by a nearby restaurant; the taste was quite good, and the three of them ate casually in the office.

At this time, Shen Yan's phone vibrated again.

It was a call from a stranger.

"Hello! Hello!"

"Hello, Mr. Shen, I am the foreigner you saved yesterday, my name is Paul Jacobs."

A resonant voice came from the receiver, in authentic American English.

Shen Yan: "Oh! So it's you, what's the matter?"

The fluent English conversation caught the attention of Chen Jun and Lin Bin. Lin Bin had stayed in the United States for several years and knew well that Shen Yan's English level was high, completely capable of conversing fluently with foreigners.

So he whispered to Chen Jun: "Lao Chen, you've found the right investor. Not only does he have deep insights into the mobile phone industry, but he is also well-versed in business, proficient in law and foreign languages, and his personality is composed and flexible; he is absolutely capable of taking on heavy responsibilities."

"Good steel must be used on the blade; in the future, some matters can be handled by him."

Chen Jun nodded in agreement; as a shareholder of the company, it was necessary to resolve worries and difficulties for the company.

Shen Yan naturally didn't know he was being eyed, and was still on the phone with the foreigner. The foreigner had gotten the number from the police, and the intention of the call was not to demand compensation from Shen Yan.

But to sincerely express his gratitude.

If it weren't for Shen Yan's help, if it had dragged on, he would definitely have died of asphyxiation due to an asthma attack.

He had prepared a generous gift to thank Shen Yan, but Shen Yan didn't care about those trifles and said bluntly: "You take care of your body, I feel your kindness."

Jacob rambled on a lot more. Shen Yan said he couldn't get away and couldn't go to the hospital. Jacob felt very sorry that he couldn't express his gratitude in person, but he could arrange for someone to send the thank-you gift over.

Shen Yan guessed that the other party had some background, so he gave him the address.

He wanted to see what kind of generous gift it would be.

Chen Jun was a top student at Wuhan University; he might have been slightly lacking in spoken language, but he was more than capable of understanding Shen Yan's conversation. After Shen Yan hung up the phone, he asked curiously, "What is it, is the foreigner you saved yesterday coming to thank you?"

Shen Yan nodded: "The foreigner seems to have some status; he said he prepared a generous gift and insists on thanking me."

Chen Jun and Lin Bin smiled faintly; it was nothing more than sending some money or gifts. At their level, who would still care about those insignificant little things?
