Car-hailing Driver: Rewards from Complaints-Chapter 311 - 176: A Second Largest Shareholder Without Ambition Is Not a Good Second Largest Shareholder (Part 3)
What Zhao Yun needs to do is to deliberately appear in front of him and become his prey.
However, these things need to happen naturally to appear real.
So, whether Liu Changxi will take the bait or when he will take it, there’s no standard, it’s a waiting game.
Yang Chen called the boss who sold cheap grouper, and directly stated his intention.
The boss was very cautious, unwilling to meet Yang Chen directly, and asked Yang Chen to report the restaurant address. He would investigate first before deciding whether to supply.
This is obviously fishy, so Yang Chen thought better of it.
Peninsula Hotel is a listed company, and Baoqing Restaurant is also planning for an IPO. If suppliers are shady and sneaky, it will cause big trouble sooner or later.
So, Yang Chen said: "It seems like the boss’s goods aren’t too legit. Forget it, I’d rather not make trouble for my brother. Sorry for the bother."
The other party immediately replied: "Haha... don’t worry, the goods are definitely fine. But there’s too little inventory, unable to supply too many customers. Plus, my price is too cheap, if I’m too high-profile, peers will definitely come after me. Business is tough now, you have to go with the flow. Trying to make your own arrangements will definitely touch on others’ interests, they will surely gang up on you."
Yang Chen: "Haha... I’ll reconsider, if acceptable, I’ll get back in touch."
After saying that, Yang Chen hung up the phone.
With legitimate business, there’s absolutely no need for such secrecy, Yang Chen was certain his goods were shady.
...
Early Sunday morning, Li Xiaofei sent a message to Yang Chen.
"Dear brother, I want you to join me for a big meal, but don’t want to run all the way to your place, what should I do?"
Yang Chen couldn’t help but smile, replying: "I’m about to drive out, will consciously head towards University City. You go to Baoqing Restaurant in University City around eleven-thirty, order dishes and wait for me. Order whatever you want, don’t be polite with brother. Also, it’s cold, and I bought you two sets of clothes recently, I’ll bring them over."
Li Xiaofei: Hehe... Brother, are cousins allowed to marry legally?
Yang Chen rolled his eyes, replying: I think there’s no need for Aunt to break your leg, I can personally send you to orthopedics.
Li Xiaofei: Hehe... This is my blind spot of knowledge, I was just consulting you, why break my leg? So heartless! See you at noon!
Yang Chen chuckled, went out to pick up customers.
Close to eleven o’clock, Yang Chen chose an order that headed towards University City, conveniently on route.
Yang Chen: "Please fasten your seat belts, we’re now departing for University City!"
A man and a woman in the back fastened their seat belts and started chatting.
Female passenger: "President Zhang, you make a lot being a procurement manager, bought one last year, now getting another."
Male passenger: "It’s alright, procurement, those who can do it well, make money."
Female passenger: "True, your Baoqing Restaurant is going public, daily procurement must be huge, many suppliers, each offering a little is enough. Truly envy President Zhang for finding such a good job, I’m just lacking education, can only work as an agent, braving weather, might not even close a deal in a month."
Male passenger: "Haha... I think you’re quite smart, if you don’t work as an agent in the future, you can try being a regular procurement officer at my place. With me, I can help guide you."
Female passenger: "Really! Hehe... I’ll take it seriously, thanks in advance to President Zhang. Your Baoqing Restaurant is big, competition must be fierce, can I, a novice procurement, join? Won’t cause trouble for President Zhang?"
Male passenger: "There’ll definitely be some trouble, but it’s not impossible. My brother-in-law is the major shareholder Li Baoqing, with his connections, arranging someone into the procurement department is easy. Talk again if needed."
Female passenger: "Wow, no wonder President Zhang can hold such an important position, the boss of Baoqing Restaurant is your brother-in-law. Then it’s settled, I’ll finish this order, get commission and quit to work for President Zhang. Is that okay?"
Male passenger showed a lewd smile, saying: "Whether it works depends on you. We’ll see."
Hehe...
A backstage deal plan has begun.
Li Baoqing’s brother-in-law being the procurement manager at Baoqing Restaurant is clearly inappropriate. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦
Such an important position must be held by an outsider.
Yang Chen isn’t fully aware of Baoqing Restaurant’s salary structure, but a procurement department manager shouldn’t be able to buy a property last year-end and again after 10 months, right?
If there’s no illegal activity, it would be bizarre.
Yang Chen smilingly asked: "Boss, does being a procurement manager make this much money? Bought a house last year, and before this year ends, another house. Running ride-hailing, I might never afford a place in Hai City my whole life."
The male passenger immediately confidently sat up straight, saying: "Relying on regular salary definitely not, my monthly salary is only over ten thousand, can’t buy a house. But in procurement, the benefit is suppliers will ensure benefits, you know what it means? The most comfortable position in a company is procurement, salary stable, cigarettes and drinks delivered, wife hardly needed."
Yang Chen: "Haha... Brother, well said. Unfortunately, I suffer from a lack of education, otherwise, I wanted to seek a procurement position too."
