Chapter 298: Chapter 298: Bluff for a Week

A week flew by, and Shen Siyuan had quite a few things going on.

Besides handing over his work, he was mostly dining with various people.

First, he dined alone with Ding Youguang.

Shen Siyuan finally understood why Ding Youguang remained enthusiastic after he withdrew from the project; it turned out Ding hoped that if they ventured out on their own in the future, Shen Siyuan could invest in them.

After all, Shen Siyuan’s girlfriend drove a Ferrari, and just a small slip between her fingers would cover the initial capital needed to set up the company.

The hardest thing in this world is starting from nothing. Once the first source of capital is secured, he believed everything else would fall into place.

Of course, that depended on him being on the right track, and this fishing game was a trial. If successful, they would continue along this route, with an endless flow of funds. After all, some were known as cash cows; finding the right approach meant pure profit.

Of course, if this path did not work out, it was all over, but he would need to continue thinking of other money-making schemes. However, the connection with Shen Siyuan must not be broken.

Business is just like that; the more friends you have, the better, as you will always find a use for them.

Then there was a meal with Zhou Zhengdao and others. After all, Zhou Zhengdao was the one Shen Siyuan brought into the group. Now that he was leaving, he had to at least apologize, so naturally, Shen Siyuan paid for the meal.

Indeed, Zhou Zhengdao was one of Shen Siyuan’s few friends. Over the years he entered Guanghui Animation, Zhou Zhengdao was the person he dealt most with, and over time, they naturally became friends.

Next was the last dinner with colleagues from the same department. This meal was paid for by Zhou Chuan as a farewell for Shen Siyuan.

"Shen Siyuan, keep in touch."

Zhou Chuan raised his glass to Shen Siyuan, who nodded and drained his glass.

Wang Chao, Li Kang, and others also came up and toasted with Shen Siyuan, but Shen Siyuan just sipped without draining his glass.

It was not until Lin Manzhi came that he drained his glass again.

The reason for the differential treatment was that Shen Siyuan was clear in his heart; though they had worked in the same department for so long, there was still a difference in closeness. Apart from Zhou Chuan and Lin Manzhi, his relationship with others might not even be as close as with Zhou Zhengdao, and as soon as he left, it was very likely there would be no further contact.

They were just passersby in the long journey of life, so there was no need to be overly polite with them.

The last meal that week was hosted by Jiang Wenxin and her husband.

They had invited Shen Siyuan long ago but had been delayed due to lack of time.

"You really didn’t need to be so formal," Shen Siyuan said, somewhat helplessly.

"After you resign, we’ll have fewer chances to meet, and Dou Dou has always been under your care. We also wanted to take this opportunity to express our gratitude."

Jiang Wenxin stood up and filled Shen Siyuan’s cup with wine.

"Although I am resigning from Guanghui Animation, I will be working at Red Hearts International. Jiang Taoshi is also at Red Hearts International, so we will still have many opportunities to meet," Shen Siyuan said.

"I’ve also heard about this from Taozi. Dou Dou can come and visit her aunt. In this home, besides her mother and me, she’s closest to Taozi. Otherwise, she’d be lonely staying at home all day..."

"Don’t worry, she will have things to keep her busy," Shen Siyuan said.

"Uh..."

Jiang Wenxin’s thoughts were similar to Jiang Taoshi’s. Dou Dou was so young; what could she do? But she didn’t feel it was appropriate to voice this because being useless might lead to being abandoned.

She could only hope that Dou Dou would prove herself and not disappoint Shen Siyuan.

As for having another child, frankly, they had struggled with the decision for a long time but had ultimately decided to let nature take its course. If they did conceive again, they would have another child, but if not, they wouldn’t force it.

"Xiao Shen, I heard recently you moved, and I haven’t yet congratulated you on your housewarming. I also didn’t know what to give you, so Sister Jiang and I thought about it and decided to give you a car for commuting."

Tao Guangsha took out a car key and placed it on the table.

"Huh?"

Shen Siyuan was somewhat surprised. Although he didn’t drive, he recognized luxurious cars.

Judging by the logo on the key, it appeared to be a Bentley, though he couldn’t tell the specific model.

No matter the model, the price must be hefty.

"This won’t do, it’s too expensive, and I don’t have a driver’s license. Even if you give me a car, I won’t be able to drive it." Shen Siyuan outright pushed the keys back.

"You can always learn to drive, and Ruan Ruan knows how to drive, she can drive for you. If not, Taozi can also drive for you." Jiang Wenxin persuaded.

Er... this statement sounds a bit odd.

"Forget it, even if you give it to me, I can’t drive it back."

"No worries, the car is already parked in the garage under your building, take the keys, you’ll definitely need them later."

However, ultimately persuaded by the couple taking turns, he still accepted the car.

But he had no plans to learn to drive, as the car seemed rather unnecessary to him, like a chicken rib, useful but not indispensable.

So, after going back he discussed with Ruan Hongzhuang about using it for her company.

"It’s a Bentley Continental GT." Ruan Hongzhuang didn’t seem surprised.

Shen Siyuan looked at the black car body, the elegant curves, majestically atmospheric, he knew it must be expensive.

"How much does this car cost?"

"About four million." Ruan Hongzhuang said matter-of-factly.

"That expensive? Should we return it?" Shen Siyuan was somewhat surprised upon hearing this.

"It’s just a car, what’s there to return?" Ruan Hongzhuang said nonchalantly.

"I just don’t get you rich people, and mainly, I can’t drive."

Shen Siyuan suddenly recalled that day Jiang Yingxue had mentioned, after Ruan Hongzhuang got her driver’s license, her father gifted her a Bentley, but she wrecked it within a day, no wonder she didn’t care.

"Then as you suggested, take it to your company for Taozi to use. If you need a car on weekdays, just have Taozi drive you." Ruan Hongzhuang said with a smile.

"Oh? But I remember your company has chauffeurs, right?"

"Our chauffeurs are quite busy, often transferring clients. For private use, it’s more convenient to have Taozi drive for you."

"Don’t you also drive?"

"I am the boss, I have many things to attend to on a day-to-day basis, I don’t have the time." Ruan Hongzhuang said proudly.

"Alright then."

Shen Siyuan couldn’t find a reason to argue, so he could only agree to Ruan Hongzhuang’s arrangement.

"Have you completed the resignation procedures?" Ruan Hongzhuang asked with anticipation.

"Yeah, I will report to your company on Monday, President Ruan, please take care of me in the future."

"Don’t worry, I will take special care of you."

Ruan Hongzhuang wrapped her arms around Shen Siyuan’s waist, her smile as radiant as a flower, she was looking forward to their days commuting together.

Shen Siyuan held her face and asked, "Are you free this weekend?"

"I have plans with Taozi, but if you need something, I can cancel."

"No need, I’m planning to take another trip to Rainbow House this weekend." Shen Siyuan said.

"You like Tang Tang so much, why not just heed my mother’s advice, let her adopt Tang Tang, we can certainly afford it." Ruan Hongzhuang said.

"No need, because I’ve already found Tang Tang’s parents...no, to be precise, I found her mother..."

"Oh?" Ruan Hongzhuang was somewhat surprised.
