How A Ride-Hailing Driver Comes To Dominate The World? [EN]: Chapter 11

Yang Chen, You Ruined Me—What’s Wrong with a Ride-Hailing Driver Having Some Money?

Normally, a generous reward would attract brave men.

However, that depends on just how generous the reward is.

To think that a mere 50,000 yuan could entice anyone to offend a rich second-generation [a person born into wealth] who just spent 2 billion yuan in cash to buy the Ocean Financial Building?

Isn’t that a joke?

Seeing that no one was moving, Zhang Jingyan immediately said, “100,000! As long as you snatch the phone from his hand, I will immediately reward you with 100,000 yuan in cash! In addition, your salary will be doubled, and other employees’ salaries will also increase by 50%!”

The employees remained unmoved.

They weren’t fools. Forget 100,000; even if it were 100 million, they would have to live to spend it.

Yang Chen could buy a 2 billion yuan building in full, so there’s no way to estimate how deep his pockets are.

How could they afford to offend such a person?

Besides, everyone knew Zhang Jingyan’s character. He was an untrustworthy person who kicks others down after using them.

Even if he promised 100 million now, he would deny it and go back on his word, like he did with Yang Chen, after the matter was over.

Yang Chen mocked, “Zhang Jingyan, do you think your words are still credible? You didn’t even give me the commission I deserved for the deals I legitimately made. Do you think you can fulfill your promises in this situation? Do you think everyone is stupid?”

Zhang Jingyan was almost crying and quickly said, “Everyone, believe me, I will really give you the money! As long as you snatch his phone now, I will transfer the money to you immediately! If that’s not enough, I’ll ask the finance department to bring the cash. Finance, bring the money for the salaries and count out 100,000 yuan to put on the table!”

The finance department quickly complied, ran back to open the safe, and took out 100,000 yuan to put on the table.

Was this money tempting to the employees?

Of course, it was!

Hundred thousand yuan!

Many employees wouldn’t make that much in two years.

Now, they could get this money just by snatching Yang Chen’s phone. How could the temptation not be great?

But despite the great temptation, everyone hadn’t lost their minds.

As the saying goes, you have to live to spend the money you earn.

Chen Zhichao couldn’t stand it anymore and immediately called the office, asking all office staff and the building’s security personnel to come over immediately.

Some people were tempted just now, but now no one dared to have any illusions.

Soon, all the security guards and all the employees of the management office rushed over.

People from other offices also came out to watch the excitement.

“What’s going on? Such a big commotion!”

“I don’t know! Everyone from the management office and all the security guards are here. Who did Jingyan offend?”

“With such a big commotion, I’m afraid the issue of lease renewal wasn’t settled, and the management office is going to teach Zhang Jingyan a lesson.”

“This is too domineering. If they can agree, they’ll renew the lease, and if they can’t, they won’t rent it out. Do they have to force others to rent?”

“Should we call the police?”

“Call the police! We’ll have to renew our leases soon too. If we don’t show the management office a little color [show them who’s boss], they’ll definitely use the same methods against us.”

“That makes sense! That makes sense! Call the police, call the police quickly!”

……

Seeing so many security guards rushing in with equipment, everyone in Jingyan Company became honest.

Some people still had fantasies about the 100,000 yuan just now, but now no one had any unrealistic thoughts.

Chen Zhichao said very smugly, “Come on, let me see who dares to snatch President Yang’s phone.”

That’s why many community properties are so awesome, and they even dare to hit the owners.

Just look at Chen Zhichao’s performance; having a dozen security guards under his command gives him enough confidence.

Zhang Jingyan was speechless.

Soft tactics didn’t work, and he couldn’t win with hard tactics. Could it be that he could only wait to be punished?

Yang Chen stretched and said, “Manager Chen, I’ll leave this to you.”

Chen Zhichao nodded quickly and said, “President Yang, don’t worry. I’ll definitely handle this beautifully for you. Otherwise, you can punish me as you please, and I will definitely not have any complaints.”

Yang Chen smiled and nodded, took out his phone and waved it in front of Zhang Jingyan, and said, “Zhang Jingyan, do you still want to snatch my phone? If you don’t act, I’m leaving. I’m really leaving.”

Zhang Jingyan didn’t even dare to fart [make a sound].

Yang Chen put away his smile, glared at Zhang Jingyan, and turned to leave.

This time, no one dared to stop him.

As soon as Yang Chen walked out the door, several policemen came.

It seemed that they were going to completely resolve the matter today.

Since the police were here, Yang Chen didn’t leave and settled accounts with Zhang Jingyan completely.

The police came in to understand the situation and asked to listen to the recording.

Yang Chen nodded and immediately played the recording for everyone to hear.

After listening to the recording, the police comrades reprimanded Zhang Jingyan.

You can’t be a boss like this. You draw big cakes [make empty promises] when you need employees to grab orders, but you don’t admit it after success and even kick them down after using them. This is not only a problem of character but also illegal.

Deducting employees’ wages is prohibited by labor law.

Zhang Jingyan didn’t dare to be presumptuous in front of the police, so he quickly gave Yang Chen the 200,000 yuan commission and 5,000 yuan salary that he owed.

Was that it?

Of course not!

If a thief steals something and returns it, is everything okay? Is that reasonable?

Obviously not reasonable!

He also has to pay the price for his actions!

Yang Chen said to his former colleagues, “Everyone, Zhang Jingyan definitely can’t continue. While I’m settling accounts with him today and the police comrades are here, why don’t you quickly take revenge for your grievances and get back what you deserve? Are you going to wait until he’s fined into bankruptcy and you get nothing?”

This sentence was very 煽动性 [inflammatory/inciting].

With the recording as evidence, Yang Chen being a mysterious rich second-generation, and the police being present, the employees didn’t dare to hide anything and stood up to report Zhang Jingyan’s various illegal acts.

“I was deducted my full attendance and performance bonus for being one minute late, and even 500 yuan from my basic salary. Isn’t this illegal?”

“Last time, Zhang Jingyan himself said that the client could go wherever they wanted to eat, and the company would reimburse all expenses. As a result, the client went to a western restaurant and spent more than 10,000 yuan, but Zhang Jingyan didn’t reimburse me and made me bear it myself.”

“Zhang Jingyan often forces us to work overtime and doesn’t give us overtime pay, not even dinner. Anyone who doesn’t work overtime will be fined the next day for stepping into the office with their left foot first.”

……

These problems added up are already very serious.

However, compared to the problems reported by the finance department, these are nothing.

The finance department reported that Zhang Jingyan often signed yin-yang contracts [dual contracts, one for show and one for actual transactions],

evaded taxes, and even set up a shell company to falsely issue value-added tax invoices.

Tax evasion is a serious illegal act, but it is not worth mentioning compared to falsely issuing value-added tax invoices.

According to the law, falsely issuing value-added tax invoices for more than three years can be sentenced to death.

As long as the finance department can produce evidence to prove that Zhang Jingyan established a shell company to falsely issue value-added tax invoices, he may spend the rest of his life in prison.

Zhang Jingyan’s face turned ashen, and his legs softened, and he fell down.

He never thought that just deducting Yang Chen’s commission would eventually lead to his company going bankrupt and him going to jail.

Li Yuan usually walked very close to Zhang Jingyan and knew some of Zhang Jingyan’s shady things.

As the saying goes, when a wall falls, everyone pushes it down [when someone is down, everyone kicks them]. Li Yuan also stood up at this time.

“Police comrades, I also want to report that Zhang Jingyan often makes excuses to deduct my salary. Moreover, he also supports mistresses and uses them to transfer assets and evade taxes,” Li Yuan said.

Zhang Jingyan was furious and pointed at Li Yuan and cursed, “Li Yuan, you son of a bitch, you dare to kick me when I’m down; you’re not human!”

Li Yuan immediately raised his fist and said, “I am irreconcilable with evil forces! I have long been unable to stand you, but I didn’t dare to resist because I had to make a living under you. Now Yang Chen, oh, no, President Yang bravely leads everyone to report you; of course, I have to stand up and fight against evil to the end!”

Zhang Jingyan was so angry that he couldn’t speak, and his body was covered with beads of sweat.

With so many people testifying, Zhang Jingyan’s matter must be thoroughly investigated.

The police comrades immediately took Zhang Jingyan away.

Others had to sign on the record they made.

Yang Chen gave the police a copy of the recording for backup.

Afterward, the police comrades took Zhang Jingyan away.

Moreover, because Zhang Jingyan was suspected of serious crimes, the company also had to suspend business and wait for the investigation to be clear before making a decision.

Everyone packed their personal belongings and went out, and then the police sealed the door.

“What’s the situation? Did Zhang Jingyan commit a crime?”

“Alas, it seems that the company is going to be sealed up too.”

“Wow, what’s the matter? So serious!”

“Damn! Did we harm him by calling the police?”

“We can’t blame us for this, right? If he hadn’t committed a crime, we wouldn’t have harmed him by calling the police.”

“That’s true.”

……

Seeing that the company he had worked so hard to build for more than 20 years was sealed up like this, Zhang Jingyan was heartbroken.

He turned his head and roared at Yang Chen, “Yang Chen, you ruined me!”

Yang Chen smiled disdainfully and said, “You ruined yourself; don’t blame anyone! I just want you to know that there is justice in this world, and you can’t do whatever you want just because you are the boss! Understand?”
