Chapter 331: Delivering a Generous Gift

At one o'clock in the afternoon, the rain outside the window showed no signs of letting up; it poured down like broken strings of pearls, slamming against everything and making a pitter-patter sound.

This noise, rather than being annoying, instead brought a sense of indescribable tranquility.

After discussing all the relevant matters, Shen Yan stood up and stretched; just then, he received a call from the person Jacob had arranged, saying they had arrived at the underground parking garage and requested Shen Yan come down, as they wished to express their gratitude.

Shen Yan told them to come straight up, but the other party insisted that the gift was inconvenient to carry and requested Shen Yan come down instead; a flash of inspiration struck Shen Yan.

Insisting on meeting in the underground parking garage—could it be that they were here to deliver a car?

So, he stood up and walked outside.

When he arrived at the underground parking garage, he saw a young man in his early thirties, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, standing there with his head held high and chest out.

A breeze-like smile graced his face.

As soon as he saw him, he said, "Hello, you must be Mr. Shen, right?"

"I am Shen Yan!"

"Mr. Shen, Mr. Jacob is injured and still recovering in the hospital; he regrets not being able to thank you in person and has instructed me to express his deepest gratitude to you."

Shen Yan waved his hand, smiling in response.

It was reported that yesterday's car accident was quite tragic; there were three men and one woman in the car, the driver lost all vital signs on the spot, and the female secretary was seriously injured and remained in a coma.

As for Jacob, protected by his bodyguards, he was in the best condition, suffering only a broken right hand and legs, along with multiple abrasions—truly the greatest stroke of luck in a misfortune.

As for the bodyguard...

In the end, resuscitation failed, and he gave his precious life for his employer.

Immediately after, the young man pointed to the white car nearby: "Mr. Shen, this car is a thank-you gift specially prepared for you by Mr. Jacob, and please, you must accept this check as well."

As he spoke, the man took a rectangular piece of paper from the inner pocket of his suit.

Shen Yan took the check and glanced at it, slightly surprised by Jacob's generosity.

Written on it was the figure of five million.

He looked again at the white car; the car emblem consisted of two intersecting M's surrounded by a spherical triangle, with the capital letters "MAYBACH" arranged below the emblem.

The Chinese name is Maybach, though the specific model was unknown.

Shen Yan intended to probe the other party's identity, so he waved his hand and said, "I just did it in passing; I don't deserve such a generous gift. Please tell Mr. Jacob that I have received his kind intentions, and I will go to the hospital to visit him when I have time."

The man looked at Shen Yan in surprise; according to his expectations, faced with such a generous gift, Shen Yan should have been pleasantly flustered and unable to contain his emotions.

However, the reality was completely different from what he had envisioned.

Shen Yan appeared calm and indifferent, possessing a certain charm of a jade-like gentleman, peerless in the world.

His gaze swept over the eye-catching Green Water Ghost on Shen Yan's wrist, and the man suddenly understood.

So, he wasn't some poor kid who had never seen the world.

But he was on a mission to persuade Shen Yan not to refuse Jacob's gesture, and since Shen Yan couldn't find a suitable opportunity to fish for information, he decided to go with the flow and accepted the generous gift.

He marveled inwardly that this foreigner was actually quite decent.

Next, the man handed Shen Yan a business card, telling him that if he encountered any difficulties, he could contact Jacob; Shen Yan glanced at the card.

His heart skipped a beat.

This was because, besides Jacob's name, there was a striking line of English on the card.

QualmExecutiveChairman

Translated, it meant Chairman of Qualcomm.

Because of Xiaogu Company, Shen Yan had specifically searched online for information about Qualcomm; in the first quarter of 2007, Qualcomm had become the world's largest wireless semiconductor supplier and had maintained a leading position ever since.

In November of the same year, Qualcomm launched the Snapdragon processor, and currently, almost all major smartphone manufacturers on the market used their chips, including Samsung, Sony, Motorola, and others.

And this was just one of Qualcomm's more prominent achievements.

In short, in summary, Qualcomm was a behemoth in the telecommunications industry.

Shen Yan hadn't expected that a foreigner he saved on a whim would have such a prominent background; right now, the company was preparing to seek cooperation with Qualcomm, and perhaps he could mediate a thing or two.

After bidding the man farewell, Shen Yan opened the documents in his hand; the Maybach model was XXX, and the on-the-road price was nearly 3 million.

A luxury car in the truest sense.

This made Shen Yan once again marvel at Jacob's lavishness.

Upon returning to the company, he didn't tell Chen Jun about this; the trump card must be saved for the very end, as offering it up voluntarily would only make himself seem too cheap.

If the negotiations didn't go well, he would then step in to mediate; this would not only demonstrate his own value but also increase his status in the company.

In the future, when the company sought financing or the like, he would have more bargaining chips.

When Chen Jun and Lin Bin learned that the foreigner had sent a Maybach and five million RMB, they both looked surprised.

Good heavens! To be so lavish with his spending.

Lin Bin asked Shen Yan what the foreigner's background was; Shen Yan shook his head, saying he hadn't seen the person and wasn't sure. Lin Bin felt it was a pity to have missed the chance to get to know a big shot.

With nothing to do in the afternoon, Shen Yan planned to go out for a stroll to see if there were any suitable properties to purchase.

Arriving at the office area, a group of employees had their fingers turning into blurs as they tapped away on their keyboards, the screens filled with dense symbols and code.

Another group of employees was tinkering with disassembled mobile phones, pondering hardware issues.

Shen Yan pulled up a chair and sat down beside Shen Jiaqing, smiling as he said, "Brother Jiaqing, has Uncle chosen a location for the noodle shop yet?"

Shen Jiaqing had no heart to discuss this; his mind was currently full of confusion and curiosity, and he hurriedly asked, "Little brother, what is going on with you? How did you suddenly turn into a shareholder of our company?"

Shen Yan said nonchalantly that he had some spare money and invested because he was optimistic about the project.

"Where did you get so much money?"

"......."

The scene of the two whispering to each other was taken in by the other colleagues, and feelings of envy welled up within them.

Sigh! If only they could have such a wealthy relative.

Then they wouldn't have to work themselves to the bone.

Just at this moment, Chen Shanni walked in from outside, carrying a leather handbag and moving with graceful, dainty steps; she wore a beige mink coat paired with black jeans, her shapely, slender legs revealing an aura of elegance and nobility from head to toe.

With just a single glance, Chen Shanni spotted that handsome figure among the staff, and her icy expression instantly blossomed into a smile as bright as a flower.

With bright eyes and white teeth, skin as fair as snow, and a smooth, oval-faced silhouette...

She was truly heart-stirringly beautiful.

The surrounding staff were all stunned on the spot, wondering who this beauty had come to find.

Chen Shanni walked straight up to Shen Yan and said with a beaming smile, "I brought some desserts over; would you like to try some?"

As she spoke, she took a box of soft cheese and a box of mochi balls out of her handbag.

"Thanks!"

Shen Yan took the boxes and placed them on the desk, then said, "Right, let me introduce you; this is my cousin Shen Jiaqing, whom you met before at Hengdian."

"Brother Jiaqing, this is Chen Shanni; you should still have an impression of her, she is also the daughter of your President Chen."
