Car-hailing Driver: Rewards from Complaints-Chapter 293 - 172: I Won’t Let You and Your Son Get Away with It!

To comfort the emotionally unstable Yiren, Yang Chen spent the night at her place.

Even someone with Yang Chen’s stamina found it hard to handle comforting someone all night, after all, it’s physically demanding work.

Since there was going to be a shareholder meeting in the afternoon, and to welcome the new second-largest shareholder, all the flight attendants favored by the management were called to the group headquarters to prepare.

Yiren also received a message from Li Jiuyi.

However, Li Jiuyi wasn’t asking her to prepare for welcoming the new second-largest shareholder at the group, but was instead threatening her to leave Yang Chen as soon as possible and be with him, otherwise she wouldn’t be assigned to the next flight to the United States.

Now that the facade was already torn apart, Li Jiuyi blatantly used his position to attempt shady dealings.

Yiren firmly rejected Li Jiuyi.

"If that’s the case, I’ll just go and resign this afternoon, no need for you to worry about it."

As a reward for Yiren being so sensible, Yang Chen comforted her once more.

After lunch, Yang Chen took Yiren to East Dragon Aviation Group.

"Ah Chen, what do you think I should do for work after I resign? How about I buy a car too and join you in driving for ride-hailing services?" Yiren asked with a smile.

Yang Chen replied with a smile: "Why resign? Isn’t being a chief attendant great?"

Yiren: "Huh? I wouldn’t dare to aim for a chief attendant’s position, even keeping my flight attendant job requires submitting to that bastard Li Jiuyi. Forget it, just thinking about the people around me sacrificing feelings for interests makes me unwilling to work here. I’ll try applying to other airlines, and if that doesn’t work, I’ll change careers. I have hands and feet; there’s plenty I can do to support myself. Don’t you think?"

Yang Chen nodded in great approval and said: "Exactly! Just with that line of thinking, I think you’re stronger than most girls. Nowadays, a lot of girls bend to these kinds of shady rules for their jobs or money. You’re much stronger than them. Tonight, go and buy whatever you want, and I’ll pay the bill as a reward for your great performance last night."

Yiren blushed, quickly lowered her head in embarrassment, and instinctively touched her lips, as if savoring a lingering taste.

At this moment, at East Dragon Aviation Group, flight attendants who were off duty today were all practicing in a hurry.

"What’s the background of this second-largest shareholder, why is the chairman so attentive?"

"Our group’s majority shareholder is the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, but the second-largest shareholder acquired 28% of the shares, making them the largest private individual shareholder. The State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission issued a command to maintain good relations with the second-largest shareholder. This way, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission and the second-largest shareholder can dominate the shareholder and board meetings together."

"Wow, in that case, this second-largest shareholder must be highly valued by the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission."

"Of course, otherwise they wouldn’t go through all this trouble for a grand welcoming ceremony. Actually, the commission doesn’t need to be so courteous, considering they are the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission. The second-largest shareholder would be foolish to oppose them. But anyone capable of acquiring 28% of the shares is certainly no simple figure and undoubtedly has investments beyond just Eastern Airlines. Building a good relationship with someone like that will ensure more collaboration opportunities in the future. Big figures only consider cooperation and mutual benefits, so it’s essential to make every effort to maintain decorum for both parties."

...

Theoretically speaking, as long as Yang Chen doesn’t act rashly, he definitely wouldn’t oppose the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission.

But the commission factored in an extreme scenario where foreign capital might buy out Yang Chen and manipulate his 28% stake.

A group like Eastern Airlines absolutely cannot permit foreign intervention, or there would be numerous issues.

For instance, one of the proposals to be discussed at this shareholder meeting is whether to purchase Airbus or Boeing.

The commission has already decided, based on international relations and circumstances, to purchase airplanes from Airbus.

If foreign capital controls Yang Chen’s voting rights, this situation could become unpredictable.

If American capital controls Yang Chen’s voting rights, they would certainly opt for Boeing.

If European capital controls Yang Chen’s voting rights, they would certainly choose Airbus.

But the decision between Airbus and Boeing involves considerations far beyond commercial aspects, relying heavily on international relations, thus foreign intervention must be absolutely prevented from influencing the vote at the shareholder meeting.

This is why the commission places such importance on Yang Chen’s 28% stake.

Yang Chen’s car stopped beside the red carpet, and Li Jiuyi, who was in charge of organizing the welcome ceremony, immediately recognized it as Yang Chen’s car.

He stormed over angrily, and as soon as Yiren got out of the car, he intentionally scolded: "What’s going on? You can’t park here, move it right away!"

Yiren rolled her eyes at him and said: "He was just dropping me off, he didn’t say he’d park here, why are you so agitated?"

Li Jiuyi: "Even if he is leaving, he can’t park here. Our new second-largest shareholder will arrive soon, and his lousy car here would block the way, wouldn’t it?"

Ran Xiaojing and others also came forward to persuade Yiren to have Yang Chen move his car, emphasizing that she couldn’t afford to take responsibility if anything went wrong.

Yiren rolled her eyes, turned to Yang Chen, and said: "Sweetie, go ahead with your business. If you’re busy tonight, don’t worry about picking me up, I’ll just take a cab home."

Yang Chen replied with a smile: "Let’s still leave together later; dinner’s on me, and I’ll take you shopping. I’m just heading into a meeting for a bit; feel free to explore on your own."

Yiren: "Hehe... thank you, darling... huh? Going into a meeting? What meeting are you attending?"

Yang Chen pointed at the flight attendants and the red carpet, saying: "Aren’t they waiting for me?"

Li Jiuyi laughed sarcastically: "Can you stop pretending? Seriously, can you stop pretending? We’re waiting for the new second-largest shareholder of the group, who do you think you are?"
