The Great War (1)
Yang Chen and Jin Ming continued to enjoy their time.
They hadn’t walked far when Jin Ming suddenly felt a spray of water on her arm.
Jin Ming turned her head and saw a mischievous child laughing at her while holding a water gun.
Seeing that it was just a child, Jin Ming didn’t bother to argue with him. She smiled and said, “Little friend, you shouldn’t spray water on other people.”
The mischievous child made a face at Jin Ming, then turned his back to her.
Jin Ming took out a tissue from her bag and wiped the water off her arm, saying nothing.
Just as she threw the tissue into the trash can, the mischievous child sprayed water on her back again.
Yang Chen immediately stepped forward, snatched the water gun from him, and said, “Little friend, that’s very impolite. Who are you here with? Where are your parents?”
The mischievous child saw his mother coming with an ice cream and immediately sat down on the ground, crying.
“Wah…”
Seeing her son sitting on the ground crying and a man snatching his water gun, the mother quickly ran over.
“Hey! What are you doing? Why are you taking my child’s water gun?” the woman questioned.
The mischievous child immediately complained, “Mommy, he took my water gun. Wah…”
The woman immediately got angry and said, “Are you serious? You’re such a big person, snatching a water gun from a child. Aren’t you even embarrassed?”
Jin Ming quickly said, “Your child sprayed water on me with the water gun. He sprayed my arm the first time, and I didn’t bother with him. I just finished wiping it off, and he sprayed my back again. That’s why we took his water gun so he couldn’t play with it anymore.”
The woman glanced at the water stains on Jin Ming’s back, then said dismissively, “He’s just a child, what does he know? You’re such a big person, do you have to be so petty with such a small child?”
Jin Ming: “Lady, are you okay? Your child sprayed water on me, and I can’t stop him? Who do you think you are? Does everyone in the world have to indulge you?”
The woman immediately became unhappy and said, “Your accent doesn’t sound like you’re from around here! Why did a foreigner like you come to Shenzhen [a major city in southeastern China] instead of staying in your own home?”
Jin Ming: “This is Shenzhen, Dragon Country [a common nickname for China], not your Shenzhen. As a legal citizen of Dragon Country, I have the right to go anywhere the law allows.”
A woman with a child, arguing with them in public, was quite degrading.
Yang Chen returned the water gun to the mischievous child and said, “You’re not allowed to spray water on other people anymore. If you want to spray, spray your mom. She’s your mom, no matter how you spray her, she won’t be angry with you, and she won’t take your water gun away.”
The mischievous child thought what Yang Chen said made sense, so he immediately pointed the gun at his mother and shot her face twice.
The woman quickly covered her face and scolded, “Where are you shooting? You’re not allowed to shoot people! If you shoot again, I’ll break your water gun.”
Yang Chen immediately said, “Lady, that’s not right! You’re such a big person, why are you arguing with a child? Besides, he’s your son, you shouldn’t be so petty with him.”
The only way to defeat magic is to use the same magic to fight back, and the woman was instantly speechless.
Yang Chen: “Little friend, see, Mommy won’t take your water gun, right?”
The child smiled and nodded, then sprayed water on his mother again.
“Mingming, enough! That’s enough! Stop spraying! Don’t listen to him, he’s lying to you! Enough! Can’t you understand me when I say enough?” the woman roared, then snatched the water gun from her son and smashed it.
Seeing his beloved toy smashed into pieces, the mischievous child immediately sat on the ground and cried again.
“Wah… Pay me for my water gun, pay me for my water gun. You’re a bad mommy, I don’t want you anymore. I want Auntie Wang, I don’t want a bad mommy,” the mischievous child cried.
When the woman heard the words “Auntie Wang,” she immediately became violent, slapping her son’s head twice and scolding, “Then tell your dad to marry that bitch and make her your stepmother! Like father, like son, neither of you are good!”
Oh my, there’s even more gossip to be had.
The surrounding people all showed smiles of amusement.
Staff members ran over, and after understanding the situation, they advised the woman not to hit her child in public, as it had a very bad impact.
If she hit her child again, they would call the police.
The woman immediately became furious and shouted, “It’s none of your business if I hit my own child! Can’t I hit my child if he doesn’t listen? Do you have children? Stop standing on moral high ground and lecturing others, okay?”
Jin Ming: “Lady, what you’re saying isn’t right. Just now, when your child sprayed water on me, you told me not to be so petty with a child. How come when it comes to you, you, as his own mother, can’t tolerate it? I think you’re the one standing on moral high ground and criticizing others.”
The woman was once again speechless, but the hatred in her eyes was too obvious.
She immediately took out her phone and called her husband.
“Are you done yet? We’re being bullied at Happy Valley [an amusement park]. If you don’t come here within ten minutes, I’ll take my son and jump into the sea!” the woman roared, then immediately hung up the phone.
“If you have the guts, don’t leave!” the woman threatened.
Yang Chen: “Oh, we won’t leave. We’ll just play here.”
Yang Chen and Jin Ming continued to walk forward, and the woman immediately pulled her son along to follow them.
The onlookers discussed among themselves.
“This woman is really unreasonable. She doesn’t teach her child when he does something wrong, but instead blames others for being petty. What a freak!”
“Haven’t you heard? Behind every mischievous child is a mischievous parent. There were no mischievous children in the world to begin with, but when there are more mischievous parents, there are mischievous children.”
“This woman is really something. It looks like she wants to call people to bully these two foreigners. That’s the bad thing about first-tier cities, the locals always have a mysterious confidence to bully foreigners. I really hope she meets someone tough this time, so she won’t dare to look down on foreigners in the future.”
…
Jin Ming: “Yang, that woman seems to be following us.”
Yang Chen: “Don’t worry about her. Let her follow us if she wants, as long as she doesn’t come up and bother us.”
Jin Ming: “Didn’t she call for backup just now? They’ll definitely come and cause trouble for us again.”
Yang Chen: “We won’t cause trouble, but if anyone dares to provoke us, we won’t show any mercy either. Let’s see which unlucky guy ended up with such a wife and child.”
At this moment, the mother and son behind them ran into acquaintances, also a mother and son. This mother and son were Gao Yunbo’s ex-wife, Zhang Ping, and her son, Gao Le.
The two women chattered in the local dialect for a while, then followed them again.
Not long after, Yang Chen and Jin Ming arrived next to the roller coaster project.
This is known as the highest roller coaster in Asia, which is a great test of the player’s mental and physical qualities.
Seeing Jin Ming stop, Yang Chen said, “Do you want to play this?”
Jin Ming quickly waved her hand and said, “No, no. I can’t stand this kind of project. It feels like entrusting my life to fate. If something goes wrong, there’s no need for rescue.”
Yang Chen: “Haha… Don’t worry, with me here, nothing will happen to you. Go play if you want, I’ll wait for you here.”
Jin Ming: “No, I don’t dare to play this kind of project.”
At this moment, Gao Yunbo walked over with a group of people.
One of them pointed at Yang Chen and said, “President Gao, it’s them.”
Gao Yunbo nodded, and just as he was about to speak, his son Gao Le ran over, calling for his father.
Gao Yunbo happily greeted him, picked up his son, and said, “Good son, did you miss Daddy?”
Gao Le: “Yes! When will you take Mommy and me home?”
Gao Yunbo: “Daddy is a bit busy recently. I’ll pick you up when I’m done with work. Daddy has something to do now, go to Mommy’s side.”
Gao Le nodded and ran back to his mother’s side.
Gao Yunbo wanted to show off in front of his son, so he turned to the two bosses beside him and said, “President Chen, President Zhang, this is the kid who caused trouble and deliberately falsely accused our products of being fake in public.”
President Chen is named Chen Yang, and he is the owner of Shenzhen Chenyang Leather Manufacturing Co., Ltd. Some of the orders for LV [Louis Vuitton] and other brands of bags, belts, shoes, etc. are placed in this factory for processing.
President Zhang is named Zhang Lei, and he is the owner of Shenzhen Yanzi Cosmetics Co., Ltd. Some of the orders for Dior and other brands of cosmetics are processed in this factory.
The mischievous mother and son just walked up.
“Xiao Bo, are these the two people you want to teach a lesson to?” the woman asked.
Gao Yunbo: “Vice President Su, you’re here too. Where’s President Liu? Didn’t he come with you?”
The woman: “Didn’t Longwei [a fictional company] hold a new product launch today? Our family is one of the main suppliers of Longwei Group, so we have to give Longwei face. Lao Liu went to the launch site to show his support. But I’ve already called him over, and he should be here soon. These two are too bad, they bullied us when they saw a woman like me with a child.”
Gao Yunbo: “They bullied you too?”
The woman nodded and said, “Yes! It’s so hateful. Two foreigners dare to be so arrogant here, it’s really hateful.”
Gao Yunbo: “Good heavens, these two really don’t know the immensity of heaven and earth [a Chinese idiom meaning to be ignorant or arrogant]. First they caused trouble for our families, and then they bullied Vice President Su, they are really audacious. It just so happens that when President Liu arrives, we will settle the score with him together.”
The woman: “That’s great, we must make them pay the price.”
Not far away, Yang Chen and Jin Ming finished watching the roller coaster and were preparing to go see other projects.
Gao Yunbo immediately rushed up with his men and surrounded them.
“Brother, it’s almost noon, let’s have a meal together,” Gao Yunbo said with a fake smile.
Yang Chen: “I don’t know you, there’s no way we can eat together.”
Gao Yunbo: “Brother, we’re giving you face by not embarrassing you in a crowded place, but don’t be ungrateful. Don’t think that just because there are a lot of people here, we won’t dare to touch you. I have a good relationship with the Municipal Bureau. Even if we beat you up, I’ll just hand over two people to go through the motions, and they’ll be detained for a few days and then it’ll be fine. Understand?”
Yang Chen: “So powerful?”
Gao Yunbo: “Of course, otherwise would I dare to come and find you so swaggeringly?”
Yang Chen nodded and said, “Are you the father of that mischievous child?”
Gao Yunbo: “No, I’m the boss of those two influencers you messed with.”
Yang Chen: “Oh, so those two influencers who filmed the flaunting wealth video are your people. What about you two?”
Gao Yunbo: “This is President Chen and President Zhang. Didn’t you say that the things Zhang Daiyu used were fake? Those things came from the factories of these two presidents. If you say they are fake, then you are slapping President Chen and President Zhang in the face.”
Yang Chen originally wanted to call Wu Yue to investigate the fake goods, but he didn’t expect them to take the initiative to come to his door.
Good, very good.
Yang Chen smiled and nodded, and said, “Okay! Then let’s find a place with fewer people to talk.”
Gao Yunbo: “Hehe… You’re sensible. Let’s go, I’ll lead the way, just follow me.”
Soon after, Yang Chen and Jin Ming followed Gao Yunbo and his group to a wasteland.
At the same time, Liu Yuan, the father of the mischievous child, also arrived.
Gao Yunbo quickly greeted Liu Yuan and introduced Chen Yang and Zhang Lei to Liu Yuan.
Liu Yuan: “Haha… It’s fate that we can have the same enemy. I’ll say hello to Longwei Group later, and I’ll treat you to a meal at noon.”
Gao Yunbo: “President Liu is too polite, I’ll treat you to this meal. Longwei has released new products, your factory is going to be developed, there must be a lot of orders.”
Liu Yuan: “Haha… Not to mention, there are indeed a lot of orders. Longwei Group’s production capacity has been very low in the past few years due to chip problems. Now that the chip problem has been solved, they also want to make a big effort to win back the market they lost in the past few years. I have already negotiated some orders with Longwei Group, but I still want to fight for some more to ensure that there are orders to do until the end of the year.”
Gao Yunbo: “I heard that they are using high technology now, what quantum chips?”
Liu Yuan: “Yes! The Xinchen No. 1 chip produced by Longxin International is temporarily dedicated to Longwei Group. The new mobile phone released by Longwei Group this time is called Xingchen No. 1, which is to correspond to Xinchen No. 1. The reason why it is named like this is because the quantum chip was developed by Xingchen Scientific Research Group and donated to the country free of charge. Longxin International and Longwei Group specially named it this way to commemorate and thank Yang Chen, the owner of Xingchen Technology Group.”
Chen Yang: “I really envy President Liu for being able to become a supplier of Longwei Group and be able to come into contact with such high-end products as quantum chips.”
Gao Yunbo: “President Chen doesn’t need to envy, you are the OEM [Original Equipment Manufacturer] factory of LVMH Group’s [Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessy] bags and leather goods, it’s not bad either. And President Zhang’s company is the OEM factory of LVMH Group’s cosmetics, they are all making a lot of money. It’s just that I’m more trash, and I hope the three presidents will take care of me in the future.”
Liu Yuan: “Your influencer company is very profitable, you don’t have to worry too much, you can earn tens of millions a year, how cool.”
“Haha…” The four of them laughed happily together.
Damn, some people just like to show off and like to blow each other up commercially.
After complimenting each other, the four turned their attention to Yang Chen.
Gao Yunbo: “Brother, you two are foreigners, don’t say that we locals bully foreigners. You can do it, and we will decide how to treat you based on your performance. What do you three presidents think?”
Liu Yuan: “No problem! I’m not a bully either, and don’t let people misunderstand that we locals bully foreigners. Just apologize and admit your mistake, I have to rush back to attend Longwei Group’s new product launch.”
Chen Yang: “President Liu is so generous, then I won’t be too fussy. You apologize to me and promise not to say that those things are fake, and I won’t embarrass you.”
Zhang Lei: “I mean the same as President Chen.”
Gao Yunbo: “No matter what your identity is there, this is Shenzhen, if you are a dragon, you have to coil up, if you are a tiger, you have to lie down [a Chinese proverb meaning to be humble and unassuming in someone else’s territory]. Understand?”
Yang Chen looked disdainful, and really couldn’t muster the energy to deal with opponents of this level.
In a while, he will make a slight move, and he will have to make these people bankrupt and beg for mercy.
Jin Ming: “I thought you were so powerful, but that’s all. President Liu, right? You just said Yang Chen, the owner of Xingchen Technology Group, do you know who Yang Chen is?”
Liu Yuan: “How would I know such a high-end boss. What? You don’t want to say that he is Yang Chen, right?”
“Haha…” Everyone laughed.
Jin Ming: “It seems you don’t believe it! Okay, then I’ll call President Ren of Longwei Group and let him tell you.”
After speaking, Jin Ming took out her phone and found President Ren of Longwei Group’s number.
Liu Yuan: “Haha… If you have the ability, call President Ren to the scene. If you make a call, who knows who is on the other end of the phone?”
Gao Yunbo: “President Liu, don’t embarrass them. They just want to pretend, how can they really call President Ren.”
“Haha…” Everyone laughed again.
Jin Ming turned to look at Yang Chen.
Yang Chen nodded.
Jin Ming immediately dialed the phone, and the phone was quickly connected. Jin Ming quickly handed the phone to Yang Chen.
President Ren: “Hello, President Yang, hello. Since I added your number, I have always wanted to talk to you, but I have never had the opportunity. I heard that you have been researching projects recently, how do you have time to call me?”
Yang Chen: “Hello, President Ren. It’s a combination of work and rest, you can’t stay in the laboratory every day, people will be useless. I happen to be on a business trip to Shenzhen for some official business. I wanted to go to Happy Valley to play, but I encountered a little trouble. There is a person here named Liu Yuan, who said he is a supplier of Longwei Group. He wants to meet you in person, I don’t know if President Ren has time to meet him now?”
President Ren: “Ah? President Yang is in Shenzhen? Oh, why didn’t you say it earlier? We are holding a new product launch now. I called you last time to invite you to participate, but you said you didn’t have time, so I let it go. You see, you are in Shenzhen now, you should tell me, no matter what, I have to personally welcome you to participate. Where are you now? I’ll pick you up right away. Come on, tell President Xu to immediately interrupt the press conference and wait for my order to restart.”
The secretary agreed and ran to inform Xu Jun, the rotating chairman who was hosting the press conference.
Afterwards, President Ren hung up the phone and rushed to the place Yang Chen said.
Yang Chen: “President Liu, wait a moment, President Ren is on the way, and you will be able to see him in a while.”
Liu Yuan’s expression became slightly serious, and then he laughed awkwardly: “Are you really? You can’t really be Yang Chen, the owner of Xingchen Technology Group, right?”
Yang Chen ignored him and turned to Chen Yang and Zhang Lei and said, “You two are both OEM factories of LVMH Group, right?”
Chen Yang and Zhang Lei nodded subconsciously, and couldn’t help but feel nervous, and their intuition told them that things were not good.
