How A Ride-Hailing Driver Comes To Dominate The World? [EN]: Chapter 10

The Rich Second Generation’s Life Experience? Why Can’t a Didi Driver Have Some Money? [Didi is a Chinese ride-hailing company.]

Chen Zhichao was shocked to see Zhang Jingyan stunned.

“Did you do something to our new boss?” Chen Zhichao asked, quickly pushing past Zhang Jingyan and rushing inside.

Seeing a group of people surrounding Yang Chen and two broken display screens on the floor, Chen Zhichao hurried over and shouted, “What’s going on? What’s going on? Are you trying to beat someone up in broad daylight? Mr. Yang, are you alright? Did they hit you? I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m late. I shouldn’t have taken that call. It’s my fault, my fault.”

Yang Chen smiled and replied, “I’m fine. Manager Chen, you came just in time. Where’s Zhang Jingyan? Call him over here.”

Chen Zhichao nodded and quickly turned around to shout, “Zhang Jingyan, get over here now! Our new boss wants to see you!”

New boss!

Everyone was shocked!

Who is the new boss?

Yang Chen?

How could he be Chen Zhichao’s new boss?

The crowd exchanged glances, no one daring to breathe loudly.

If Yang Chen was Chen Zhichao’s new boss, that would mean Yang Chen had bought the Haishang Financial Building.

How rich would Yang Chen have to be!

Zhang Jingyan wiped the sweat from his forehead and hurried over to ask, “Manager Chen, what do you mean by ‘new boss’?”

Chen Zhichao quickly and seriously introduced, “Let me formally introduce to everyone, this is the new owner of our Haishang Financial Building, Mr. Yang Chen. He just spent 2 billion to buy the Haishang Financial Building, and now he’s in charge here. What are you doing? It looks like you want to hit our President Yang. You’re out of control! Do you believe we won’t rent office space to you anymore?”

Everyone was shocked that Yang Chen had actually spent 2 billion to buy the Haishang Financial Building.

Then what was he doing working here before?

A rich second generation experiencing life? [A Chinese term for the children of wealthy individuals, often perceived as spoiled or entitled.]

How boring. Is this how monotonous the lives of the rich are?

Do they have to pretend to be poor to experience life?

Resigning yesterday and buying the building today—isn’t that obviously revenge?

My God, is this how the nouveau riche take revenge?

Too simple and crude!

Buying the entire building at the slightest disagreement, to see if the dog boss dares to deduct wages again.

Li Yuan asked in a low voice, “Manager Chen, is there any possibility—I mean, just a possibility—that you’ve made a mistake? That the person who bought the building is someone else, or just someone with the same name.”

Chen Zhichao rolled his eyes and said, “Are you calling me blind? Can’t I even recognize President Yang’s photo?”

Li Yuan quickly explained, “No, no, no, I didn’t mean that. Manager Chen, don’t misunderstand.”

After that, Li Yuan didn’t dare to speak anymore.

At this time, not speaking was the wisest choice. After all, Yang Chen’s main enemy was the boss, Zhang Jingyan, and there was no need for others to get involved.

Zhang Jingyan’s mind worked quickly. He smiled, stepped forward, and shook Yang Chen’s hand with both of his, saying, “Oh, isn’t this a misunderstanding? If I had known President Yang was here to experience life, I definitely wouldn’t have caused you any trouble. It’s true that I was wrong, and I deserve to be punished. How about this: I’ll return twice the salary President Yang earned, and we’ll let these unpleasant things pass. Is that okay?”

Salary?

Chen Zhichao was a little confused. Would someone who could buy the Haishang Financial Building in full for 2 billion even work here?

If it weren’t for Yang Chen’s photo and identity information,

Chen Zhichao really would have suspected that he had made a mistake.

“President Yang, did you work here before?” Chen Zhichao asked.

This wasn’t anything to be ashamed of, so Yang Chen didn’t hide it and told the truth.

Of course, to reasonably explain why he came here to work, Yang Chen told everyone that it was a training mission arranged by his family.

Everyone was shocked to hear this.

So, Yang Chen really was a rich second generation here to experience life.

Zhang Jingyan was really out of luck for eight lifetimes, actually provoking such a person. He had kicked a steel plate [meaning he messed with the wrong person].

Chen Zhichao was furious, pointing at Zhang Jingyan and saying, “Zhang Jingyan, our Haishang Financial Building has never lacked tenants. When we signed the contract, it was clearly written that you must operate in good faith and according to the law; otherwise, we have the right to terminate the contract and claim three times the rent stipulated in the contract. You shouldn’t have forgotten this clause, right?”

Yang Chen was overjoyed and quickly asked, “There’s such a clause?”

Chen Zhichao nodded and said, “Yes, President Yang. Our Haishang Financial Building is in high demand, and the contract stipulates many clauses that are beneficial to us. Usually, of course, there’s nothing special, but once the tenant breaches the contract, we can do whatever we want. Besides, the requirement to operate in good faith and according to the law is very reasonable and not an illegal or excessive requirement. As long as we can confirm that Zhang Jingyan refused to fulfill his promise, we can sue him for compensation.”

Yang Chen played the phone recording with a smile.

“Yang Chen, if you want a 20% commission, come back and work obediently, and I will return it to you in 10 months. As long as you close at least one deal each month, I will return 10,000 yuan to you. How about it?”

“Alright, stop pretending. According to the plan between me and President Zhang, we don’t even want to give you a commission. Unless you come back to work, the company will calculate your commission at 5%. Now President Zhang is being extra generous to you, returning 20% of the commission to you in ten months. This is simply a great gift to you. Why don’t you quickly thank President Zhang? What else do you want? Do you think you have the right to resist?”

“That’s right! That was our original plan. However, I cherish you as a talent and really don’t want to lose you. As long as you come back and close at least one deal each month, I will return 10,000 yuan to you. It just so happens that all of it will be returned in ten months, and neither you nor I will lose out. But if you don’t close a deal in any month, the 10,000 yuan that should be returned that month will be confiscated and used to improve employee benefits. This is your only chance; don’t be ungrateful, and quickly go back to your seat and work hard.”

…

When Zhang Jingyan said it just now, he didn’t think there was any problem.

Now, after listening to what he said, he immediately felt that the problem was too big.

Yang Chen could definitely win if he used this to apply for labor arbitration.

Once Yang Chen wins the lawsuit, it would mean that Jingyan Advertising Company was operating illegally, and the Haishang Financial Building Management Office would have reason to sue for three times the liquidated damages.

This was a combo, and it could definitely take half of Zhang Jingyan’s life.

Zhang Jingyan quickly pleaded, “President Yang, listen to me, there’s no need to go this far. How about this: I’ll compensate you three times the commission, you delete the recording, and this matter will be over. Is that okay?”

Yang Chen smiled disdainfully and said, “I only want what I deserve; I don’t want a penny more. As for the consequences of your actions, that’s what you deserve, and you can’t blame anyone. Manager Chen, I’ll leave this matter to you; make sure you handle it to my satisfaction. Understand?”

Chen Zhichao quickly solemnly assured Yang Chen, “President Yang, don’t worry, I will definitely handle this matter beautifully for you.”

Yang Chen lightly patted Chen Zhichao on the shoulder and said, “Work hard; I have high hopes for you.”

Anyone who receives praise from the boss will definitely be happy.

Chen Zhichao immediately felt that he was full of motivation and quickly said, “Thank you, President Yang, for your cultivation; I will definitely not let you down!”

Yang Chen nodded and turned to leave.

Zhang Jingyan knew clearly that the recording in Yang Chen’s phone was the source of the trouble.

As long as that recording was gone, Yang Chen couldn’t prove the existence of the 20% commission, and Zhang Jingyan’s illegal operation would not be established.

The company’s employees were easy to buy off; just increase their salaries a little.

Therefore, Zhang Jingyan believed that as long as he dealt with the only source of trouble, which was that recording, he would be fine.

Zhang Jingyan quickly chased after him, blocked Yang Chen’s path, and asked with a ferocious expression, “President Yang, I have already admitted defeat to you; why do you have to push me to the brink? Leave me a way out, and you’ll also leave yourself a way out. How do you know you won’t fall into my hands in the future?”

Chen Zhichao was furious and cursed, “Hey! You little bastard, you dare to threaten…”

Yang Chen waved his hand to signal Chen Zhichao not to speak, and he immediately shut up.

Yang Chen smiled and replied, “I never leave myself a way out. If I considered so much, how would I have resigned from you? Don’t you think?”

Zhang Jingyan clenched his fists and said, “Then there’s no room for negotiation?”

“What qualifications do you have to negotiate with me now?” Yang Chen said unceremoniously.

Zhang Jingyan immediately said loudly, “Everyone, listen up: as long as you can snatch Yang Chen’s phone, everyone’s salary will increase by 20%! Whoever can snatch his phone with their own hands, I will directly reward 50,000 yuan!”
