How A Ride-Hailing Driver Comes To Dominate The World? [EN]: Chapter 286

LV Endorser Can Just Clear the Store and Kick Out Customers?

Just as the call ended, the sound of high heels clicking came from the side.

A few seconds later, a middle-aged woman with a neat short haircut rushed over.

This person was Wu Yue, the president of LVMH Group in China.

“Where is Mr. Yang? Where is Mr. Yang?” Wu Yue shouted while looking around.

Zhang Lifan quickly stepped forward and said, “President Wu, who are you looking for? President Yang? Which President Yang?”

Wu Yue: “Oh, Mr. Yang Chen, the newly appointed second-largest shareholder of our LVMH Group! I just spoke to him on the phone, and he said he was right at the elevator entrance. Why can’t I see him?”

Xi Yuyao opened her cherry-like mouth in surprise, looking incredibly cute.

Yang Chen’s acquisition of Yida Group and Meituan’s shares was already outrageous enough, but she didn’t expect him to have acquired LVMH Group’s shares as well.

Is he an acquisition maniac?

Is he just grabbing these big groups and acquiring them like crazy?

Where does he get so much money to acquire them?

What is his identity?

In an instant, countless questions appeared in Xi Yuyao’s mind.

Normally, being able to acquire one of Yida Group, Meituan Group, or LVMH Group would be impressive enough.

But Yang Chen actually acquired shares in all three companies, and a significant amount at that, which is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Zhang Lifan quickly replied, “No, there’s no President Yang here. There’s just a deadbeat delivery guy who’s extremely arrogant!”

Xi Yuyao said with a smile, “Be polite, or you’ll regret it later.”

Zhang Lifan immediately retorted, “Beauty, you look pretty, but why are you acting like him? He said I’d be fired, and you said I’d regret it. Come on, you two, make good on your promises. One of you get me fired, and the other make me regret it.”

Wu Yue asked with a straight face, “What’s going on? Why are you arguing with a delivery guy?”

Zhang Lifan exaggeratedly complained to Wu Yue, making it all Yang Chen’s fault.

After Zhang Lifan finished speaking, he suddenly thought of something and asked nervously, “President Wu, what… what did you say the group’s second-largest shareholder’s name is?”

Wu Yue: “Mr. Yang Chen!”

Zhang Lifan: “Ah? Are you sure? He… he’s also called Yang Chen. No… it can’t… it can’t be that coincidental, right?”

Wu Yue only knew Yang Chen’s name and phone number, but she didn’t know what he looked like.

She took out her phone and dialed Yang Chen’s number, and the delivery guy in front of her phone rang.

Yang Chen took out his phone and hung up, and Wu Yue’s phone was hung up as well.

“Oh, Mr. Yang, why are you dressed like this? Forgive me, forgive me! I was blind and didn’t recognize Mount Tai [a Chinese expression for failing to recognize someone important]. I neglected Mr. Yang. I hope Mr. Yang will forgive me!” Wu Yue said very humbly, bowing and shaking Yang Chen’s hand.

Yang Chen replied with a smile, “It’s okay, I just came by to take a look. President Wu, please take me inside to see the splendor of our LVMH Group in China.”

Wu Yue: “Yes, yes. Mr. Yang, please come with me.”

Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhang Lifan quickly wanted to step forward to apologize to Yang Chen.

Wu Yue, being very astute, immediately signaled Zhang Lifan not to speak. Then, she said to her secretary, “Lily, when Mr. Yang and I come out later, I don’t want to see him still in our LVMH Group.”

Secretary Lily quickly replied, “Understood!”

Zhang Lifan didn’t even have a chance to beg for mercy and was fired just like that.

He cried in his heart, “Oh my god, who would have thought that a delivery guy could acquire shares in LVMH Group? This isn’t my fault!”

Yang Chen greatly admired Wu Yue’s decisiveness and said with a smile, “I’m not surprised at all that President Wu can become the president of LVMH Group in China.”

Wu Yue: “Haha… Thank you for your praise, Mr. Yang. I used to have to be very careful in everything I did, after all, it’s a foreign company. Now that we have Mr. Yang, I can finally relax a little. With our own people as shareholders, I don’t have to walk on thin ice anymore. In the future, if Mr. Yang needs anything, just let me know, and I will do my best.”

As expected of someone who can be a president, she bound herself to the group’s second-largest shareholder in just a few words.

Of course, Yang Chen also wanted to win over this president of the China region. In the future, he could easily find out about the sales and other situations of LVMH Group in China from Wu Yue. He could even arrange endorsement deals for his artists with brands like LV.

Wu Yue clapped her hands, drawing the attention of the employees in the office area.

She said loudly, “Everyone, stop what you’re doing. I’d like to introduce a very important guest to you. This is our group’s new second-largest shareholder, Mr. Yang Chen.”

All the employees were stunned.

Are you kidding me?

The second-largest shareholder is a delivery guy?

Are you sure there isn’t a mistake?

Maybe they just have the same name!

If he had tens of billions of euros, would he still need to deliver food and put up with people’s attitudes?

Wu Yue frowned and said, “What are you all spacing out for? Don’t you know what to do?”

The employees then reacted and quickly applauded to welcome him.

“Hello, Mr. Yang!”

“Mr. Yang is so handsome! Even the delivery uniform looks like a runway outfit on you.”

“Mr. Yang, are you here incognito?”

…

Yang Chen waved and greeted everyone with a smile, saying, “Hello everyone, thank you. I was delivering food here and came in to take a look. To be honest, I’ve always wanted to know how LV employees work, and today I finally got to see it. Everyone, continue working, I’ll just take a look around and leave. I still have to deliver food to other places later.”

The employees were all stunned. So he wasn’t pretending to be a delivery guy incognito, but he really is a delivery guy!

Wu Yue invited Yang Chen to visit the exhibition hall with a smile, to see the latest products from various brands under the LVMH Group.

As soon as they left, the office area immediately became lively.

“What’s going on? He really is a delivery guy!”

“How is that possible? Based on LVMH Group’s current market value of 250 billion euros, his 25% stake is 62.5 billion euros, which translates to about 450 billion in our currency, which is exactly the total assets of Mr. Zhong, who is currently ranked number one on the rich list. How much food would he have to deliver to earn that much money?”

“So he’s experiencing life? This man is too perfect, handsome, rich, down-to-earth, and very low-key, with very polite words and actions. I can’t find any fault with him. I wish I could marry him, so I wouldn’t have to work anymore and could just focus on having sons at home to inherit the family fortune.”

“Haha…”

“Don’t even think about it. The beauty following him is enough to beat 99% of female celebrities. Can you compare to her?”

“Rich people’s girlfriends are so beautiful. I can’t envy them enough.”

…

Xi Yuyao followed Yang Chen to visit the exhibition hall, and she was dazzled by the dazzling array of products.

These are the things that all women in the world dream of: clothes, bags, cosmetics, all top luxury brands. If any woman could own this exhibition hall, she wouldn’t have lived in vain in this life.

Wu Yue also carefully introduced the selling points of these new products to Yang Chen.

Yang Chen didn’t participate in the specific management and wasn’t too interested in luxury brands, so he wasn’t interested in learning about them.

After taking a tour, Wu Yue took Yang Chen and Xi Yuyao to the president’s office.

LVMH Group will hold an exhibition at the Atlantis Hotel’s Hall 1 this Sunday, and will also exhibit summer bestsellers and the first batch of autumn new models.

As the second-largest shareholder, Yang Chen’s presence at the event would add a lot of prestige to the exhibition.

Wu Yue took out a stack of invitations and said, “Mr. Yang, these are the invitations for Sunday. If you have time, please bring your friends to watch the event.”

Yang Chen took the invitations and replied with a smile, “Okay! I’ll be free on Sunday, I’ll definitely go. By the way, I have something to tell you. I have a foreign friend who wants to find a job. I don’t want her to do any messy work, so I’m arranging for her to come here to understand the daily work of LVMH China. Don’t arrange too much work for her, but don’t let her feel like she’s unnecessary. Do you understand what I mean?”

Wu Yue thought that she must be one of Yang Chen’s confidantes, so she quickly nodded and replied, “Understood! Mr. Yang, don’t worry, I will arrange everything for your friend.”

Yang Chen: “Okay! Then I’ll tell her to report tomorrow. Remember one thing, don’t allow anyone to harass her.”

Wu Yue: “Understood! Mr. Yang, don’t worry, I will personally keep an eye on it and absolutely guarantee that your friend will work in peace and won’t be disturbed by anything.”

Yang Chen nodded and said, “Okay! Then I’ll leave first, you can get back to work.”

Wu Yue quickly sent Yang Chen away, watching him drive away before going back.

Xi Yuyao coveted the invitations on the dashboard, but she was too embarrassed to ask for them.

Yang Chen saw through her thoughts and said, “Do you want to go?”

Xi Yuyao nodded with a slightly embarrassed smile.

Yang Chen: “Then take an invitation.”

Xi Yuyao: “Thank you, sugar daddy. Then I won’t be polite. I’m really taking it, okay?”

Yang Chen nodded and said, “Take it.”

Xi Yuyao happily took an invitation and put it in her bag.

Yang Chen teased, “Didn’t you say that once I help you secure the cooperation with Yida Group, you would turn back into a cold goddess? Why hasn’t there been any change?”

Xi Yuyao: “Don’t mention it. It’s been so long since I’ve been a cold goddess, I’ve forgotten how to be cold. If I deliberately put on airs, even I would feel a little awkward.

So, I can only continue to be a vulgar person who has been taught by reality how to behave.”

At this moment, Lin Yiren sent a message to Yang Chen.

“Honey, I’m about to get off the plane, can you come pick me up? Someone has been harassing me, insisting that I go on his private plane to be a flight attendant. Come quickly and teach him a lesson, let him know that my man is much better than him.”

Being beautiful comes with such troubles; there are always men with inexplicable confidence harassing her.

Yang Chen said to Xi Yuyao with a smile, “What are you doing now? Do you want me to take you home?”

Xi Yuyao: “I think it’s going to get dark soon, shouldn’t you do something? Are you taking me home now?”

Yang Chen: “I have something to do; I can’t take you out to dinner today. Maybe another time, I’ll take you to Tang Court [a high-end restaurant] for a big meal.”

Xi Yuyao was a little disappointed. She had dressed up carefully to come out, thinking that she could play with Yang Chen until late at night tonight, but it was over before it was even dark, which was completely different from what she had expected.

However, Yang Chen is her sugar daddy, and whatever he says goes. She has to listen to him; that’s what reality has taught her in the past two or three years.

“Then you go ahead, I’ll have my brother pick me up,” Xi Yuyao said.

Yang Chen nodded and dropped her off by the side of the road.

Then, he went straight to the airport.

When Yang Chen arrived at the airport, Lin Yiren had already come out.

At this time, Ye Xuan was surrounding her with several followers, saying something.

Lin Yiren and her colleagues were arguing with them about something.

It seemed that the one harassing Lin Yiren was Ye Xuan, that grandson.

Yang Chen parked the car next to them and honked the horn twice.

Everyone looked over.

When Lin Yiren saw Yang Chen coming, she quickly picked up her suitcase and ran over to get in the car.

Yang Chen got out of the car, and Lin Yiren quickly shouted, “Achen, let’s go, don’t waste time with him.”

Yang Chen: “You stay in the car.”

Ye Xuan looked at Yang Chen with a smile and said, “They said this beauty is your girlfriend; I didn’t believe it, but now it seems they weren’t lying. You have good taste; you’ve managed to win over such a beautiful flight attendant.”

Yang Chen: “The future head of the Ye family harassing women in the street? Has your Ye family fallen to this point? What kind of big family is this? It’s clearly just a bunch of thugs.”

As he spoke, Yang Chen pushed away the follower blocking Ye Xuan’s path.

At the same time, the five bodyguards responsible for protecting Yang Chen’s safety ran over and confronted the other party.

Yang Chen walked up to Ye Xuan, lowered his head, and pressed his forehead against his, saying, “Don’t touch my things, or it will accelerate the demise of the Ye family.”

Ye Xuan: “Heh… big words!”

Yang Chen: “I’ve been having a lot of internal heat lately, so my breath is a bit strong, bear with it.”

Ye Xuan: “Heh… if you have internal heat, you should take some medicine to reduce it. I’ve studied medicine and can help you reduce it.”

Yang Chen: “Is that so? That’s great. What kind of medicine do you think I should take?”

Ye Xuan: “Angelica! As long as you become a turtle [a cuckold], everything will be fine!”

Yang Chen: “Oh, okay, I’ll keep that in mind. We’ll see who becomes the turtle. I heard you have a private plane?”

Ye Xuan: “Can’t I?”

Yang Chen: “Of course not! I don’t even have a private plane, why should you have one? I’ve decided to blow it up. You better not let anyone near your plane during this time. If someone dies, you’ll have to pay compensation to their families.”

After speaking, Yang Chen turned and left.

Ye Xuan’s four guardians wanted to take action, but he stopped them.

“The mission is important. Once the mission is completed, we can play with him however we want!” Ye Xuan whispered.

Yang Chen got into the car, leaned over and kissed Lin Yiren, comforting her, “I’ll deal with him after I set things up, don’t be angry.”

Lin Yiren: “No, no, no, I don’t want you to do anything stupid for me.”

Yang Chen: “There will be a battle between him and me; I can’t avoid it even if I want to. He’s from the Ye family in Haicheng. If I kill him now, I’ll be finished too. When I have enough cards to protect myself, I’ll definitely deal with him as soon as possible! Where to now?”

Lin Yiren: “Take me home first, I’ll change my clothes, and then we’ll go out to eat together. Okay?”

Yang Chen: “Okay. How’s the renovation of your house going?”

Lin Yiren: “It’s almost done. After it’s renovated, it has to be ventilated for another half a year before we can move in, so I still have to live in my rented apartment for now.”

Yang Chen: “Are your parents back from their trip?”

Lin Yiren: “Hehe… not yet. They’re in Dali now. I’m afraid to sleep alone at night, what should I do?”

Looking at Lin Yiren’s shy appearance, Yang Chen knew what she meant.

“Then you’re better off than me. I don’t even have a place to sleep at night. I wonder if there’s any kind girl who will take me in,” Yang Chen said with a smile.

Lin Yiren giggled and said, “You’re so pitiful. There’s still a room in my house. If you trust my character, come sleep at my house for one night.”

“Haha…” The two laughed together.

Soon, the two arrived at Lin Yiren’s house.

A short separation is better than a new marriage; dry wood and raging fire are inevitable.

After resting for a while, the two went out to eat.

Coincidentally, the IFC [International Finance Center, a high-end shopping mall] was not far away, and after dinner, Yang Chen took Lin Yiren shopping.

The IFC is full of luxury brands, such as LV, Chanel, etc.

In the past, Yang Chen came here to support Louis Vuitton, but now that he is the second-largest shareholder of LVMH Group, he naturally has to support LV and the like.

However, Lin Yiren is a particularly simple girl. Although her clothes are also very beautiful, they are not big brands, but mostly clothes that she casually picked up in the mall.

Yang Chen took Lin Yiren to the LV store.

Lin Yiren quickly said, “I don’t need clothes, you already brought me here last time. I need a wallet, but I already bought one.”

Yang Chen: “I heard they have new products, take another look. If you like something, we’ll buy it. It’s not like we can’t afford it. You should have the things that other girls dream of.”

Lin Yiren smiled happily and tiptoed to kiss Yang Chen.

“Honey, you’re so good to me. Then I’ll just take a look. If there’s really something I like, then I’ll buy it,” Lin Yiren said with a smile.

Yang Chen nodded and said, “Okay, go look.”

In the past, when Yang Chen came shopping, he definitely wouldn’t look around.

But now it’s different. He is now the second-largest shareholder of LVMH Group, so of course he has to check the product sales in the store.

At this time, the store manager received a call.

Then she quickly waved her hand and called all the employees over, whispering something.

Then the employees quickly stepped forward and said to the customers in the store in a low voice, “I’m sorry, we need to clear the store for a while. We apologize for the inconvenience; please go to other stores first and come back later.”

Clear the store?

There are more than twenty customers in the store. Although they may not all buy something, there are so many customers browsing the goods. Why do they suddenly need to clear the store?

Yang Chen quickly asked, “Why do you suddenly need to clear the store? Is there such a rule? Do you have to close the store for a while at this time every day?”

The clerk explained, “No! Anyway, we just need to clear the store for a while; I hope you can understand. You can go to other stores first and come back later.”

Yang Chen waved his hand to signal the store manager to come over.

The store manager quickly walked over and asked with a smile, “Sir, do you have any questions?”

Yang Chen nodded and said, “Why do you suddenly need to clear the store? So many customers are shopping; clearing the store like this may lose customers.”

The store manager: “I’m sorry, we really have something urgent. You can go to other stores; Dior is having a promotion next door, you can go take a look. When we’re done here, you can come back.”

It’s not a good feeling to be suddenly kicked out when you’re looking around.

Maybe there really is something urgent in the store, so Yang Chen won’t make things difficult for them.

Lin Yiren took Yang Chen’s arm, and the two walked towards the door.

At this time, a group of people walked in mightily.

The man at the head immediately questioned, “Store manager, why are there still people here? Didn’t I call you in advance to clear the store?”

The store manager quickly explained, “Sorry, sorry. They’re about to leave.”

Oh, so a big shot is coming to buy something, and the other customers are being kicked out.

Then Yang Chen can’t leave. Who isn’t here to buy something? Why should they be kicked out just because this person is coming to buy something?

The store manager stepped forward and said to Yang Chen, “Sir, I’m sorry, please hurry up.”

Yang Chen shook his head and said, “I thought you had something urgent, and I was willing to cooperate with you. But you’re kicking out so many customers for one customer, and this kind of behavior can’t be tolerated. Sir, you said you wanted to clear the store? Then tell me how much you’re going to buy, and whether it’s worth it for the store to clear the store for you.”

At this time, the thin woman in the crowd said impatiently, “Store manager Li, is it going to work or not?”

The store manager quickly said, “Sir, she is Yang Yun! Our LV brand ambassador.

She wants to come and buy something and asked us to clear the store to avoid exposing her privacy, so we definitely have to do it.”

Yang Yun?

Wow, a big star.

However, I recently heard that she got divorced, her work resources have also decreased, and her status has dropped again and again. It’s not a big deal. Even Yang Da Mi [likely a reference to Yang Mi, a famous actress], who has a higher status than her, hasn’t put on such a big show.

Yang Chen: “Oh, a celebrity is also a person, and I’m also a person. Why should I give way to her? This store is so big, she can buy her things, and I can buy mine. I don’t mind her bringing so many people in to make a fuss, but she dislikes us ordinary consumers for hindering her?”

Yang Yun didn’t hide it anymore; she took off her hat, scarf, and sunglasses, exposing her plastic surgery face.

Old photos of Yang Yun have circulated online. Her big sausage mouth and buck teeth were comparable to Sister Feng [an internet celebrity known for her unconventional looks]. Later, she had plastic surgery to become what she is now. Her acting relies entirely on staring and shouting. I don’t know why anyone would like her.

Yang Yun said impatiently, “Store manager, hurry up, I’m in a hurry. I have to go to a recording of a show later, and I only have half an hour. I also want to remind you that President Wu of LVMH China will also come over later to talk to me about the exhibition on Sunday. If you don’t handle things well, I don’t mind suggesting to her to replace you.”

This scared the store manager, and she quickly said to Yang Chen, “Sir, I’m begging you, okay? Please leave quickly. I’m just an employee, don’t make me lose my job.”

Yang Chen smiled and said to Yang Yun, “Miss Yang has a big temper; she wants to replace others at every turn. But have you ever thought that this kind of behavior will lead to you being replaced?”
