Car-hailing Driver: Rewards from Complaints-Chapter 315 - 177: All the Big Shots Came Looking for Yang Chen
Since the challenge has been laid down, let’s see who is truly the king by using our own skills!
...
Friday, 7 p.m., Yang Chen drove to the Baoqing Group headquarters.
Coincidentally, while waiting for the elevator, he ran into Zhang Jun again.
Zhang Jun asked in surprise, "Huh? Aren’t you the rideshare driver? What are you doing here so late?"
Yang Chen: "Isn’t there a celebration being held here? I’m here with a friend to broaden my horizons."
Zhang Jun: "Haha... Your friend must be impressive. Yes, tonight we are hosting the Baoqing Restaurant’s 20th-anniversary event. If your friend was invited, he must not be simple. What does he do?"
Yang Chen: "He’s an investor; he said he’s invested in your group."
At this moment, Yang Chen’s phone rang; it was a call from Qiu Yuhong.
Yang Chen stepped aside to answer the call.
Qiu Yuhong: "Mr. Yang, I need to go to the United States tonight. Something happened at the mercenary branch over there, and I have to handle it. While I’m away, if you need anything, contact my son or the vice president directly."
Yang Chen: "What’s going on? Is it serious?"
Qiu Yuhong: "There was a conflict between our mercenaries and a local gang while on a mission in Mexico. It turned into a firefight, with several brothers injured or killed. I need to deal with it."
Yang Chen: "Alright! Be careful and stay safe."
Qiu Yuhong: "Yes. Thank you for your concern, Mr. Yang. Ugh... I also need to stop by Baoqing Restaurant first; they invited me to their 20th-anniversary celebration. It’s such a hassle."
Yang Chen: "You have ties with Li Baoqing too?"
Qiu Yuhong: "He used to be one of my subordinates, but he was expelled from my company because he refused to listen. I must say, he managed to establish Baoqing Restaurant, which is quite impressive. Since he invited me despite the past, I should at least show up out of courtesy."
No one expected that Qiu Yuhong, who was so humble before Yang Chen, was once such a significant figure, with even Li Baoqing counted as one of his underlings.
Yang Chen: "What a coincidence, I’m here too. Come over, and we’ll have a drink later. It’ll be my way to wish you a smooth trip."
Qiu Yuhong: "Really! Alright, I’m coming! Haha..."
After hanging up, Yang Chen waited for the next elevator and went up.
In the auditorium, Yang Chen found a seat by himself.
Li Baoqing and the other shareholders were greeting guests, and Yang Chen didn’t see any acquaintances.
After a while, Zhang Jun came over.
"Hey, buddy, where’s your friend? Which one is he?" Zhang Jun asked.
Yang Chen pointed towards Li Baoqing and the others, saying: "They’re all my partners."
Zhang Jun: "Haha... come on, buddy, don’t joke around. Those are all shareholders of our group. That tall guy is my brother-in-law, Li Baoqing, and next to him is my sister, Zhang Juan. How could a rideshare driver be their friend?"
Yang Chen: "Hehe... if you don’t believe it, there’s nothing I can do."
Zhang Jun chuckled and walked away.
A while later, he approached Li Baoqing and his wife.
"Brother-in-law, sister, congratulations! I hope Baoqing Restaurant continues to hold many more anniversaries!" Zhang Jun said.
Although Zhang Jun often engaged in small schemes for money, he was particularly adept at dealing with people, handling all aspects well, so he never got into trouble.
Plus, with his sister’s protection, Li Baoqing just turned a blind eye.
Anyway, this couple didn’t plan to stay forever, much like another couple from a hot pot brand, aiming to cash out once the company went public.
So, letting their own people subtly benefit wasn’t a bad idea, keeping the benefits within the family.
Zhang Juan whispered: "You should thank your brother-in-law. To shield you, he brought in four institutional investors, weakening the second shareholder’s equity. This way, the second shareholder has no say. But you must also restrain yourself in the future, don’t cause trouble."
Zhang Jun: "Hehe... got it. Thank you, brother-in-law and sister."
Li Baoqing: "Alright, just don’t cause any trouble before the company goes public."
Zhang Jun: "Don’t worry, brother-in-law, I know what I’m doing. Oh, let me tell you something funny. I know a rideshare driver who said he’s partners with you shareholders. It cracked me up."
Zhang Juan: "There are a lot of scammers these days. Be careful, don’t get conned."
Zhang Jun: "I’m not a child of three years old, how could I be fooled by a rideshare driver?"
Li Baoqing: "Right. By the way, how do you know the second shareholder?"
Zhang Jun: "Huh? Who’s the second shareholder? I don’t know them!"
Li Baoqing pointed at Yang Chen, saying: "Weren’t you just talking to him?"
Zhang Jun was shocked: "What? He is the second shareholder? The rideshare driver I mentioned is him!"
Li Baoqing and Zhang Juan were also stunned. How could the second shareholder be a rideshare driver?
Zhang Jun’s face changed immediately, "It’s over! It’s all over..."
Zhang Juan: "What happened? His... his brother bought grouper and lobster from me!"
Li Baoqing: "What?"
The three of them were scared simultaneously.
Isn’t this a disaster?
They had planned to dilute Yang Chen’s shares, but now Zhang Jun had a weakness exploited by Yang Chen. What should they do?
Li Baoqing promptly decided: "Xiaojun, go tell him that my wife and I want to talk to him, take him to the lounge."
Zhang Jun nodded and quickly went to find Yang Chen.
"What... what exactly are you up to? Disguising as a rideshare driver, tricking me into selling fish to you, are you intentionally trying to mess with me?" Zhang Jun asked angrily.
Yang Chen: "I really am a rideshare driver, and I did trick you about the fish, otherwise, I wouldn’t have gotten the evidence."
