Car-hailing Driver: Rewards from Complaints

Chapter 384 - 194: I’ve Been a Professional Fake Boyfriend for Twenty Years (Part 3)

Even the rich wouldn’t dare eat like this, yet a ride-hailing driver has the audacity to do so.

Jin Ming felt like crying. With the way Yang Chen was ordering, she might have to withdraw her fixed deposits to settle the bill.

Soon, the waiter brought over two cans of caviar and opened the champagne.

Yang Chen handed one of the cans to Jin Ming and said, "Mingming, I’m treating you. Um... Manager Lin, Chairman Chen, sorry, this stuff is really too expensive for me to treat you. I’m a bit hungry, so I’m going to start eating."

After speaking, Yang Chen began eating.

Jin Ming looked at the five thousand dollars in her hand, unable to bring herself to eat.

Each bite costs over a thousand dollars; it’s not food she’s eating, but money.

However, things had come to this point, and she had to go along with Yang Chen’s act; otherwise, all efforts would be in vain.

So, Jin Ming opened the can and asked, "Manager Lin, Chairman Chen, should I share some with you?"

Chairman Chen showed displeasure on his face.

He originally thought there was nothing wrong with the dishes Lin Ming had ordered, but compared to Yang Chen’s top-notch ingredients, what they were eating was practically pig feed.

Especially now that Jin Ming was offering to share a bit with him, making him feel even more embarrassed.

Yang Chen purposely mocked, "Huh? Why aren’t you eating? Cold cabbage doesn’t taste good. And that hairtail, when I eat fried hairtail at other restaurants, it’s inedible when cold. The honey sweet potatoes also need to be eaten hot; they’re not only unappetizing cold but can also cause an upset stomach."

With Yang Chen’s remarks, Chairman Chen completely lost his appetite.

Lin Ming had no choice but to call the waiter over to add more dishes.

"These dishes are cold now; take them all away and bring us the dishes he’s having," Lin Ming said.

If they could secure the funding from the Rural Commercial Bank, the company’s profits would be enough for feasting here every day.

You can’t trap a wolf without sacrificing a child; you still have to spend some capital.

Just a few words, and they secured a big order for the Tang Pavilion. Yang Chen, as the boss, did an okay job, right?

Soon, the waiter served Lin Ming’s table the same high-end dishes Yang Chen ordered.

Chairman Chen smiled happily, thoroughly enjoying all the dishes.

Chairman Chen wiped his mouth and contentedly said, "Manager Lin, if we place our funds with your company, what annual return rate can you guarantee?"

Lin Ming was overjoyed; these high-end dishes weren’t served in vain. Finally, they were discussing serious business.

Lin Ming: "The minimum is 10%; under normal circumstances, the annual return rate is about 15%. The bank offers a one-year deposit interest rate of 2.6% to its depositors. If you place your money with us, you wouldn’t have to do anything for a year, and you could net at least 10%."

Chairman Chen: "That’s a bit low. Li Xiang offers a guaranteed 30% annual return."

Lin Ming: "There are some things I can’t disclose. I can only say your money is absolutely safe with us, and there will never be any issues. I shouldn’t say more; Chairman Chen, being an industry insider, should understand what I mean."

Chairman Chen smiled without saying anything.

Yang Chen on the side said, "An annual return rate of only 15%? That’s too low. When I trade stocks myself, I can double my money in a year. With you, it’s only a 15% return; that’s far too little."

This is too much; are you trying to cause trouble?

Pretending to be Jin Ming’s boyfriend is still bearable, but causing trouble is out of the question!

Lin Ming immediately said, "What does a ride-hailing driver like you know about stocks? Do you understand candlestick charts? Do you know what KDJ and MACD are? What are you pretending for?"

Jin Ming: "Manager Lin, your words are off. My boyfriend may be a ride-hailing driver, but that doesn’t mean he knows nothing about stocks. What do you mean by belittling him like that?"

Lin Ming: "You’re a professional trader; don’t you know about fund yields?"

Jin Ming: "I do. But that doesn’t mean my boyfriend doesn’t understand stocks."

Lin Ming was about to lose it; they came today to secure Chairman Chen’s funds, but Jin Ming not only didn’t help, she opposed him. How outrageous!

Chairman Chen chuckled and asked, "Mr. Yang, is your stock investment return rate that high?"

Yang Chen: "I just started playing with it, but I don’t think it’s difficult. Doubling the money in a year shouldn’t be a hard task. Let me show you; the five stocks I just bought should all be rising."

Yang Chen opened the trading software, showing them his holdings.

The three of them saw that all five stocks Yang Chen bought hit the daily limit and were stupefied.

Chairman Chen quickly took the phone to take a closer look, then smiled and asked, "Mr. Yang, how did you catch these limit-up stocks?"

Yang Chen: "That’s my secret. If you’re interested, once my investment company starts operating, you can come and take a look."

Chairman Chen: "Mr. Yang also has an investment company?"

Yang Chen: "Yes! I opened an investment company for Mingming to manage. She’s already submitted her resignation to Manager Lin, but he hasn’t approved it. But no worries, she’ll automatically leave in a month. By then, once our company operates normally, Chairman Chen can come and check it out."

Chairman Chen laughed, took out his phone, and said, "Let’s add each other as friends. Make sure to notify me as soon as your company operates normally. Our bank currently has over 3 billion ready for investment. If Mr. Yang can guarantee an annual yield of no less than 50%, we’ll entrust the money to you."

Yang Chen added Chairman Chen as a friend, saying, "A 50% return rate is too easy; no problem at all."

Chairman Chen: "Haha... Great, I like young people with confidence."
