Car-hailing Driver: Rewards from Complaints-Chapter 303 - 174: Chen Yan Ni’s Call for Help (Part 3)
Girl: "The rent there must be really expensive."
Man: "It’s alright, 20 yuan per square meter per day. Mainly, their boss, oh, my buddy Yang Chen, doesn’t want to sell. If he wanted to sell, it would be more suitable for me to buy an entire floor directly. Yang Chen and I are brothers, he’d definitely give me a very cheap price."
The girl looked at the man with admiration and said, "President Liu, you’re amazing, to be brothers with the boss of Haisang Financial Mansion."
Man: "It’s okay. Before Yang Chen made a fortune, we shared a dorm room and were close buddies. I was the one who advised him to buy this mansion back then. At that time, property prices were very low, and the month after he bought it, prices started to skyrocket."
Wow, Yang Chen couldn’t listen anymore.
Dude, it’s fine to brag, but don’t spout nonsense.
The girl again said admiringly, "President Liu is really amazing, such great foresight. If I had such foresight back then, persuaded my parents to buy a house, I’d have doubled my money by now."
Yang Chen was speechless, it’s fine for this bragger to boast, but he shouldn’t use him as material for bragging.
Yang Chen: "Boss, do you really know the owner of Haisang Financial Mansion?"
Man: "Of course. The owner of Haisang Financial Mansion is Yang Chen, who is a close buddy of mine. Why do you want to know?"
Yang Chen: "Nothing much, just curious how you know each other."
Man: "We were roommates in college, close buddies. Back then, he was very poor in school, and I often helped him with his expenses. I even taught him how to invest, leading to his success today. Before I came, I had already called him. He’s abroad for business and can’t return, so he asked the management office to take care of me."
Yang Chen smiled and nodded, not exposing him immediately.
Being so grown-up, he probably wouldn’t go on and spout nonsense just to show off in front of a girl. Yang Chen was curious about how he would conduct himself later, so let him keep bragging for now.
Soon, Yang Chen and the others arrived at Haisang Financial Mansion.
President Liu said: "Xiaowu, you and the driver wait here for a bit, I’ll be back soon. We’ll still need the car later, so don’t change it."
The girl nodded.
After President Liu left, Yang Chen handed the girl a bottle of water and said: "Free of charge."
The girl took the water and said: "Thank you."
Yang Chen: "What does your company do?"
Girl: "We’re a startup, planning to create a nationwide chain of drinking water platforms. According to President Liu’s idea, soon every office building nationwide will have our drinking water equipment. Even if each unit earns only 1 yuan a day, nationwide it would be at least 10 million a day. I think earning 1 yuan a day is too easy, this project is bound to succeed. So I invested all my 100,000 yuan that my boyfriend and I saved for a house into shares."
Yang Chen: "Really? You trust President Liu a lot then."
Girl: "Yes, I think he’s a very genuine person. Plus, I traded 100,000 yuan for a 10% stake, which is really worth it."
Yang Chen: "Meeting is fate! Come, let me show you what kind of swindler your President Liu really is!"
With that, Yang Chen drove the car inside.
When the security saw it was Yang Chen’s car, they quickly came over to greet him.
Yang Chen nodded, calling the girl to get out of the car.
Girl: "They called you President Yang?"
Yang Chen: "Yes! Let’s go to the management office to check things out."
The girl quickly ran to catch up with Yang Chen, going to the management office together.
Since Chen Zhichao was driven away, the management office of Haisang Financial Mansion was handed to the professional manager Tang Hao, hired by Yu Shishi.
Tang Hao saw Yang Chen arriving and quickly came forward to greet him.
"President Yang, you’re here. Please have a seat," Tang Hao said hospitably.
Yang Chen: "How are your talks with President Liu?"
Tang Hao: "President Liu said he wants to rent a 1 square meter spot in our restroom and asks us to issue a certificate stating he rented an entire floor. I definitely can’t agree to that; it’s deceitful."
Yang Chen laughed and said to President Liu: "President Liu, what project are you running that requires renting a 1 square meter restroom space? Why do you need us to provide a certificate saying you rented an entire floor? What are you planning?"
President Liu looked cautious and asked: "Which President Yang are you?"
Yang Chen: "Oh, didn’t you claim to be my college roommate and even teach me to invest, leading me to buy this mansion? How come you don’t recognize me now?"
President Liu was greatly shocked and stammered: "You... are Yang Chen? The owner of this mansion?"
Yang Chen: "Yes! You claimed to be my college roommate, how could you not recognize me?"
Tang Hao quickly asked: "President Yang knows President Liu?"
Yang Chen: "He said he was my college roommate, but I’m not yet 25, while he seems to be around 40. I don’t understand how we could be college roommates. President Liu, why don’t you explain it?"
President Liu was extremely embarrassed and asked: "Why... do you have such a big mansion, yet still run as an online car driver? Is pretending to be poor fun?"
Yang Chen: "Pretending to be poor isn’t fun, but it’s a good way to pass the time."
Seeing that she was deceived, the girl quickly stepped forward and questioned: "President Liu, you don’t know the owner of this mansion, why did you pretend to know him? Is the project you mentioned also a lie? Give me back my 100,000 yuan quickly, I don’t want to invest anymore."
President Liu quickly pushed the girl aside and bolted.
Yang Chen waved his hand, and Tang Hao quickly led people to chase after him.
The girl was anxious, as this was the money she and her boyfriend saved for a house.
If she couldn’t get the money back, she truly didn’t know how to face her boyfriend.
Soon, President Liu was brought back by Tang Hao and the team.
