Car-hailing Driver: Rewards from Complaints

Chapter 377 - 192: Li Xiang Made the First Move_4

Jin Ming and Huang Xiaomin exchanged a glance, immediately on guard.

Jin Ming: "Are you serious?"

Huang Xiaomin: "Don’t think you can trick us just because we failed the interview."

Yang Chen: "To be honest with you both, I just registered a company called Star Investment under my name, but I haven’t found the right trader to run it. Hearing you were coming to apply for the trader position, I came to see if I could find someone suitable. Unexpectedly, you two got rejected due to a misunderstanding. I think Puri Investment’s willingness to hire you shows you have strong abilities. Now, I just want to see your practical skills; if you pass, I’ll feel confident handing the company over to you to manage. In the future, one of you will be the CEO, and the other will be the vice president. Isn’t that a better way to showcase personal talent than being someone else’s subordinate?"

Jin Ming and Huang Xiaomin exchanged another glance, quickly went online to look into Star Investment.

Well, there really is such a company, just registered last week, exactly as Yang Chen said.

"Your name is Yang Chen?" Jin Ming asked.

Yang Chen nodded, taking out his ID card to show them.

Jin Ming: "How could a ride-hailing driver like you have so much money?"

Yang Chen: "My family has a mine. I had nothing much to do, so I came out to drive a rideshare to kill time. Otherwise, at not even 25 years old, how boring would it be to just collect rent? Life would be wasted."

Jin Ming, Huang Xiaomin: "..."

Is that even a human talking?

The two stepped aside to discuss for a while and finally decided to give it a try.

Yang Chen’s words moved them; being the boss of a company is certainly a better way to showcase their talents than being someone else’s subordinate.

Both of them are 28 this year, having worked five years as frontline traders; it’s time to seek higher career status.

"Alright! We’ll take your test! We’ll go resign this afternoon and focus on your test!" Jin Ming said.

Huang Xiaomin: "Hope you don’t trick us, otherwise I’ll stick to you every day and hold you responsible for life."

Jin Ming rolled her eyes and whispered, "Sister, could you not swoon?"

Huang Xiaomin whispered back, "Hehe... but he’s really handsome."

Yang Chen exchanged contact information with them and gave them a ride back, waiting for them to settle work issues before officially testing them.

After three o’clock in the afternoon, Qiu Yuhong called Yang Chen.

Qiu Yuhong: "Chairman Yang, Li Xiang seems to be using his connections against us. Today, many malls we are responsible for security at have been suddenly inspected for fire safety, and now tax and other departments are checking our headquarters’ tax records. Although we’re not afraid of these minor nuisances, Li Xiang provoking us like this can’t be tolerated!"

Yang Chen: "Are you sure it’s Li Xiang?"

Qiu Yuhong: "Certainly him, we haven’t offended anyone recently, and we’ve never been checked on such a large scale before. It must be Li Xiang using his contacts to retaliate against you; there’s no other possibility. Plus, the inspectors have been subtly hinting that Shield Security Group should stay honest and not act too arrogantly. Each department’s inspectors said so; doesn’t that indicate something?"

Yang Chen: "Haha... I didn’t move against him, yet he’s acted against me. Seems like my guess was right; unless I force those big shots away from Li Xiang, they’ll find any way to protect him. Bear it for now, I will soon complete the setup on my side, and by then Li Xiang won’t have any chance to fight back!"

Qiu Yuhong: "Got it, understood."

Disconnected the call, Yang Chen continued driving to pick up passengers.

Close to evening, Li Qinqin, Yang Chen’s junior from Finance University, called him.

Li Qinqin is now part of Yang Chen’s influencer company, receiving special care due to being his junior. She has now become a major influencer with millions of followers.

Li Qinqin: "Senior, are you free tomorrow?"

Yang Chen: "Depends on what you have. My time is quite flexible; it’s free if I say it’s free, and busy if I say it’s busy."

Li Qinqin: "Big shots are different; even the way you speak is more assertive. I want to do an outdoor fishing program tomorrow, but going fishing alone is no fun. Can you come with me? Ideally, introduce a few people who are somewhere between impressive and legendary, just to create some buzz and attract some traffic. What do you think?"

Fishing used to be something Yang Chen loved doing too. Back in college, whenever the weather was nice and he had free time, he would surely go fishing in the wild ditches not far from campus, then take the fish to the food street and pay the chefs to cook them.

Since graduation, he hasn’t gone fishing.

Going fishing tomorrow to relive those memories sounds pretty nice.

Yang Chen: "Sure! Where are we fishing tomorrow?"

Li Qinqin: "I’ve already picked a spot, Mingyang Reservoir. I’ll come to your house tomorrow morning and take you there."

Yang Chen: "Alright, it’s a date."

Also need to invite a few big shots to boost Li Qinqin’s traffic.

Yang Chen called Zhang Xiang and others; even if others couldn’t make it, Zhang Xiang had to. He’s a major influencer with millions of followers, after all.

"Hey, Lawyer Zhang, going fishing tomorrow?"

"Hey, Chairman Qiu, going fishing tomorrow, relax a bit."

"Hey, President Huang, going fishing tomorrow."

...

The scene should be grand enough now.

Meanwhile, a dejected Li Sheng, who had just faced a setback, was feeling quite upset and called a few friends to plan a yacht outing to Mingyang Reservoir tomorrow.

Not everyone has the time to go yachting at sea, so some city-based private reservoir owners have developed yacht projects.

Customers can dock their yachts at the reservoir’s pier or rent the reservoir owner’s yachts for fun.

Besides fishing and experiencing rural life, Mingyang Reservoir also offers yachting activities.
