This Man Changes Faces So Fast

Xiao Ma’s words aroused Ma Siqi’s great interest in Yang Chen.

As Xiao Ma’s daughter, she had seen too many second-generation heirs [children of wealthy or powerful individuals], some with money, some with power, but none of them caught her eye.

However, Yang Chen changed her view of young people. She realized that a person could be so outstanding.

Not only was he handsome with a great figure and temperament, but he was also good at making money and doing scientific research. Did this man have any flaws?

Even if he were a domestic abuser, she could tolerate it for the sake of his excellence.

“President Yang, can I add you on WeChat?” Ma Siqi said with a smile.

Yang Chen looked at Xiao Ma. In his opinion, he and Xiao Ma were of the same generation. Ma Siqi should call him uncle. It seemed a bit inappropriate for an uncle to add his little niece on WeChat.

Xiao Ma said with a smile, “President Yang, what do you mean by looking at me? If you want to add her, add her. If you don’t want to, refuse clearly. You don’t have to consider my feelings.”

Yang Chen: “Really?”

Xiao Ma: “Really!”

Yang Chen: “Then I’d rather not. Miss Ma can contact me through President Ma if she needs anything.”

Not only was Ma Siqi stunned, but the customers and employees watching the excitement were also stunned.

Damn, President Ma’s daughter was rejected after taking the initiative to ask for his WeChat?

Sir, that’s President Ma’s daughter.

But on second thought, he was already a big shot, and he had the strength to reject President Ma’s daughter.

Xiao Ma laughed and said to his daughter, “President Yang is usually very busy and doesn’t have time to chat. If you have something to ask him, just tell me, and I’ll help you contact him.”

Ma Siqi nodded with a smile, then said with an arrogant smile, “You little brat, you’re very arrogant. I’ve never taken the initiative to add a male friend of my age. My first time taking the initiative to add a friend was rejected. Okay, very good, I’ll remember you.”

Yang Chen and President Ma both laughed.

Xiao Ma: “Qiqi, how can you talk to President Yang like that?”

Yang Chen: “It’s okay. I can see that Miss Ma is also a straightforward person. However, what your father said is right. I really don’t have time to chat with anyone. Even if you add me as a friend, it’s just occupying a friend slot with no other use. So, it’s better not to add me.”

Ma Siqi: “No need to explain. Explaining is just covering up, and covering up is the beginning of deception. Anyway, I’ve remembered you. Don’t ever fall into my hands, or I will torture you until you regret rejecting me today.”

Yang Chen: “May I ask, Miss Ma, is this torture you speak of proper torture?”

The people next to him couldn’t help but laugh.

Xiao Ma didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, and quickly became serious, saying, “President Yang, that’s too much. At least we’re friends, so Qiqi is your niece. Can you say such things to your niece?”

Yang Chen: “Haha… Just kidding. We’ve bought what we need and are going back to the hotel to rest. You guys go shopping. Miss cashier, give Miss Ma a free order for what she chooses later, and put it under my name. My name is Yang Chen. If you don’t know who I am, call and ask the store manager.”

The cashier said, “Are you Yang Chen, the second largest shareholder of our group?”

Yang Chen: “That’s right.”

The cashier: “Ah! It really is you! I just sent a message to the store manager, saying that a customer named Yang Chen came to the store.

She’s on her way here. Why didn’t you say so earlier? I could have just used the group’s card to pay the bill for you. There’s no need for you to spend your own money.”

Yang Chen: “Today, I just wanted to spend my own money to give Jin Ming a gift. I didn’t want to use the card the group gave me.”

Jin Ming smiled happily. She felt that her position in Yang Chen’s heart must be extraordinary.

The onlookers were shocked for the third time!

The second largest shareholder of the group?

The second largest shareholder of LV’s parent company, LVMH Group?

Chen Le and Gao Yan, who were about to come over to apologize to Yang Chen, were shocked and dared not come over.

They originally thought he was just an ordinary investment company boss, but they didn’t expect him to have so many identities.

Ma Siqi: “You also have shares in LVMH Group?”

Yang Chen: “A little bit.”

Ma Siqi: “How can you have shares in so many big companies?”

He certainly couldn’t tell the truth, so Yang Chen fooled her, saying, “Years ago, I was very poor. I went to an LV store, and the salesperson looked at me with so much contempt. I just touched it, and they said in a strange tone that it was a limited edition and very expensive. I remembered this matter firmly. Later, when I had money, I immediately acquired some shares in LVMH Group and became the second largest shareholder. Now, when I go to LV stores to buy things, everyone has to be polite to me. If anyone dares to look at me with an arrogant and contemptuous look again, I will immediately fire her.”

Said without thinking, heard with intention.

The shop assistants next to them felt a burst of fear in their hearts. Fortunately, they didn’t show any bad attitude, otherwise they would have been fired.

Ma Siqi: “Haha… You’re really awesome. Then what did you acquire our company’s shares for?”

Everyone finally understood why President Ma was so polite to Yang Chen. It turned out that he held shares in Penguin Technology.

The onlookers were shocked for the fourth time. Yang Chen was awesome, holding shares in these awesome companies.

Yang Chen continued to fool her according to the previous routine, saying, “Don’t mention it. Last year or the year before, I was bored and played a game of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds. There were trolls in it who kept scolding me, which made me very angry. Later, I stopped playing PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds and played Honor of Kings. Well, the game environment was even worse. Teammates started scolding each other from the hero selection stage. I just interjected, and they scolded me too. I couldn’t stand it, so I remembered that account. The next day, I acquired shares in Penguin Technology and became the nominal largest shareholder. I just wanted to block that account. After blocking it, I felt much better. Hey? It feels so good to be able to block someone else’s account with just one sentence. Next time I encounter someone scolding me, I’ll ask Tianyou to block their account!”

“Haha…” The people around laughed, but they “cried” as they laughed.

Yang Chen’s kind of life is what they called life, spending money to smash whoever they didn’t like.

Unlike them, they could only leave in dismay when they were despised by the salesperson, and they could only sulk when they were scolded in the game.

They seemed to be willing to live Yang Chen’s kind of willful life, even if it meant living ten years less.

Ma Siqi held back her laughter and said, “You said I’m a straightforward person, but you’re even more straightforward than me. According to your rhythm, if you’re slighted by a bank teller, wouldn’t you have to acquire shares in their bank?”

Yang Chen:

“Huh? How did you know I acquired shares in Haicheng Bank?”

The audience was shocked for the fifth time!

Ma Siqi: “Are you serious?”

Xiao Ma: “Haha… Qiqi, you’re asking too much. Let me tell you this, if you find those screenwriters or online novel authors and ask them to use all their wisdom to write a god-level rich man novel, they probably wouldn’t be able to write a protagonist like President Yang. All the 爽感 [shuang gan, a feeling of satisfaction or exhilaration] you can imagine can be found in President Yang.”

Yang Chen: “Before, I used to deposit a lot of money in ICBC [Industrial and Commercial Bank of China]. Once, when I went to withdraw money, their teller insisted that I fill out a form, explaining the purpose and use of the money. Damn, I earned the money myself and deposited it in the bank. If I wanted to use it and withdraw some, I had to be interrogated and investigated by them? How could I be so useless? In a fit of anger, I acquired shares in Haicheng Bank and transferred all the money from ICBC to Haicheng Bank.”

Ma Siqi burst out laughing, then grabbed Yang Chen’s arm and said, “No, you must add me as a friend today. You can’t leave without adding me.”

Damn, he accidentally got too excited, and Ma Siqi was probably really going to fall in love with Yang Chen.

Which girl wouldn’t be confused when she saw such a perfect and experienced man?

Xiao Ma: “President Yang, quickly say that you were just talking nonsense.”

Yang Chen: “Yes, yes, yes, I was just talking nonsense. I’m actually just a ride-hailing driver who usually likes to read some god-level rich man novels and occasionally fantasizes about myself as the protagonist, with all kinds of awesome fantasies. How could there be such a perfect man in this world? Miss Ma, do you think what I said makes sense?”

Just as Ma Siqi was about to speak, Ma Qiuhong, the store manager of this LV store, ran over in a hurry.

“Mr. Yang, hello, hello. Welcome to the LV Mixc store. I’m the store manager, Ma Qiuhong. Mr. Yang, please give me your guidance,” Ma Qiuhong said very politely.

Yang Chen: “Hello, Manager Ma. I just came to buy a wallet. There’s nothing special. The things Miss Ma buys later will be charged to my card.”

Ma Qiuhong: “Okay, okay.”

Yang Chen: “President Ma, Miss Ma, I’ll leave first. You guys go shopping.”

Ma Siqi: “No, you have to add me as a friend. You can’t leave without adding me. I’ll accept your gift, and I’ll definitely return it to you in the future, whether you want it or not.”

With that, she took out her phone, opened the WeChat QR code, and asked Yang Chen to scan it.

Seeing his daughter so serious, President Ma could only say, “President Yang, just add her. You’re usually very busy, so you don’t have to pay attention to her.”

Yang Chen knew what President Ma meant, so he took out his phone, scanned the code, and added Ma Siqi as a WeChat friend.

He added her as a friend and ignored her. Was that what he meant?

Ma Siqi had a happy smile on her face.

President Ma saw everything in his eyes. He had never seen his daughter so interested in any boy.

“Daughter, you can’t like him. If you like him, you have to be careful to guard against other women seducing him until he hangs on the wall [a Chinese expression for being completely infatuated or obsessed]. This kind of man is dangerous and doesn’t give you a sense of security,” Xiao Ma thought to himself.

Jin Ming: “President Yang, they’re filming you. Do you want them to delete it?”

Yang Chen: “It’s okay. Anyway, they can’t upload it. They can only enjoy it themselves.”

Xiao Ma: “Haha… That’s not necessarily true. Didn’t Baidu Tieba [a popular Chinese online forum] expose your unpleasantness with Professor Yang?”

Yang Chen: “Don’t mention it. I was also angry when I saw that post. But I can’t control Baidu, and I’m too embarrassed to ask President Li to delete the post. So, in order to facilitate the future management of Baidu Tieba, I came here this time to negotiate with DFJ to acquire the 25.8% stake they hold in Baidu Group. Once the transfer 手续 [shouxu, procedures] is completed, I will immediately call President Li to delete the post. If there are any more 爆料 [baoliao, exposes or inside scoops] about me on Baidu Tieba in the future, I will punish the person in charge.”

Xiao Ma: “Haha… That’s you. Your method is really simple and crude, and it’s always the same: 砸 [za, smashing] with money.”

Yang Chen: “There’s no need to use other methods for things that can be solved with money. Let’s go, you guys go shopping.”

Ma Siqi waved to Yang Chen, with the words “interested in Yang Chen” almost written on her face.

Yang Chen and Jin Ming had just taken a few steps when Chen Le and Gao Yan stopped them with smiles.

Chen Le: “Hello, President Yang. I didn’t expect President Yang to be the boss of Xingchen Investment. No wonder you have such a high vision.”

Yang Chen: “Hehe… I’m just telling the truth, not having a high vision.”

Gao Yan: “Jin Ming, you too. Why didn’t you tell me that President Yang is the boss of Xingchen Investment?”

Jin Ming: “Does President Yang have to be the boss of Xingchen Investment to be qualified to communicate with President Chen? Am I only worthy of being friends with you if I’m an employee of Xingchen Investment?”

Gao Yan: “No! I didn’t mean that.”

Jin Ming: “It doesn’t matter what you mean. I won’t disturb you shopping. We’ll leave first.”

Gao Yan: “Hey, hey, wait a minute. Can we… can we add each other as friends?”

Jin Ming: “Didn’t we leave our numbers? Contact us by phone if you need anything.”

Gao Yan was embarrassed and didn’t dare to say that she had just deleted Jin Ming’s number.

Yang Chen and Jin Ming walked towards the door.

Chen Le quickly urged, “Go ask her for her number. President Yang has such a relationship with Longwei Company. If we have a good relationship with him, we can ask Longwei for more orders through him. If I earn more, won’t you earn more?”

Gao Yan felt that this made sense, so she quickly ran after her.

“Jin Ming, wait a minute,” Gao Yan shouted as she chased after her.

Jin Ming was a little annoyed and said, “What do you want?”

Gao Yan replied with an embarrassed face, “I… I accidentally deleted your number. Can you tell me again?”

Jin Ming looked at Gao Yan like an idiot.

“Hehe… You’re really amazing,” Jin Ming said disdainfully, then took out her phone and deleted Gao Yan’s number in front of her, and said, “Our friendship should have ended the day you returned to China. I was too greedy. Don’t pester me anymore, or I’ll call the police.”

With that, Jin Ming quickly pulled Yang Chen away.

Gao Yan stood there in embarrassment, and Chen Le ran over and blamed her, “What are you doing standing there? Go after her, apologize to her, and beg her to forgive you.”

Gao Yan was furious and said, “You were the one who asked me to delete her number, and now you’re instigating me to ask her for her number again. She deleted my number in front of me. Can’t you see that?”

Chen Le: “Can I blame me for that? You’re friends with her, but you don’t even know the company she works for. Hurry up and apologize to her, even if you have to beg her to forgive you. If she forgives you, it will be easier to deal with President Yang. Longwei’s electronic products have many 代工厂 [daigongchang, OEM factories], and Weichuang Group can only get a small part. If Mr. Yang can help say hello to Longwei Group, we will definitely get more orders. As long as you can do it, I’ll buy you two more limited edition bags. If you can’t do it, don’t even think about buying this bag.”

Gao Yan was very angry, but she compromised when she saw the limited edition bag in her hand. She quickly handed the bag to Chen Le and ran out to chase Jin Ming.

Chen Le handed the bag to the waiter and said, “Buy it for her if she gets it done later, and don’t buy it if she doesn’t.”

The waiter nodded with a smile.

The customers watching the excitement whispered.

“This person is so realistic.”

“I didn’t know how powerful she was just now, so I took the initiative to ask my girlfriend to delete her number. Now that I know how powerful she is, I’m rushing to force my girlfriend to ask for her number again. It’s really the best, the first time I’ve seen such a wonderful man.”

“A large-scale face-changing scene, witnessing the entire transformation process of a person from arrogance to humility.”

…

Those customers who filmed Yang Chen’s video wanted to upload the video to Douyin [TikTok in China], Red Book [a social media and e-commerce platform], and other platforms, but found that the system prompted that the video was in violation of regulations and could not be uploaded.

Even if they posted it on Moments [WeChat’s social sharing feature], WeChat and QQ prompted that the video was in violation of regulations and could not be uploaded.

“Damn, it really can’t be uploaded!”

“The 大佬 [dalao, big shot] is indeed a 大佬. He said it couldn’t be uploaded, and it really couldn’t be uploaded. He said we could only enjoy it ourselves, and we really could only enjoy it ourselves.”

“My God, how powerful is he to be able to make so many platforms block his news.”

“How powerful can a person be? I’ve seen it today. Wow, he’s even more powerful than the protagonists in those online novels.”

…

Gao Yan caught up with Jin Ming and said, “Jin Ming, President Yang, don’t be angry. I apologize to you. It was really my fault. Jin Ming, please give me your number again for the sake of our good relationship. If you don’t give me your number, Chen Le won’t buy me a bag. Please, please.”

Jin Ming was speechless and could only respond with a hehe.

Gao Yan could only sell miserably and said, “You are a graduate of MIT and don’t have to worry about making money wherever you go. But I don’t have your ability, I only have my appearance. If I don’t earn some security for myself while I’m still young, how will I survive in a city like Shenzhen in the future? You can despise me or scold me, but I beg you to give me your number again for the sake of our past relationship. Okay?”

Jin Ming hehe again and said, “Okay, then I’ll help you. Go tell Chen Le to buy you five limited edition bags, and I’ll give you the number. Go ahead, I’ll wait for you for a while.”

Gao Yan nodded and said, “You’re so kind! I’ll tell her right away!”

With that, Gao Yan ran back to the LV store with the speed of a 100-meter sprint.

Jin Ming: “President Yang, how do you think my operation is?”

Yang Chen: “I think it’s okay!”

“Haha…” The two laughed.

Jin Ming: “After Chen Le buys five limited edition bags, I’ll delete Gao Yan’s number again. She deleted me once, and I’ll delete her once. It’s fair, right?”

Yang Chen: “That’s definitely fair.”

“Haha…” The two laughed again.

Gao Yan relayed Jin Ming’s request to Chen Le and emphasized that this was a necessary condition.

Chen Le was, after all, the president of Weichuang Group’s China region, so he could naturally analyze that Jin Ming was doing this to please Yang Chen, because Yang Chen was the second largest shareholder of LVMH Group, and buying a few more limited edition LV bags would be equivalent to increasing LVMH Group’s performance.

As LVMH Group’s performance increased, profits would also increase, and Yang Chen would be able to get more money.

Although Yang Chen couldn’t care less about this money, he would definitely feel comfortable in his heart.

After analyzing this, Chen Le took Gao Yan to choose limited edition bags without hesitation.

Gao Yan was 28 years old, and Chen Le was 45 years old. The two just took what they needed.

Gao Yan would not be merciful with such a good opportunity.

Gao Yan didn’t want the cheaper limited edition she had just chosen, and directly chose a more high-end limited edition, choosing more than one million worth of things in one go.

Chen Le was stunned, and Gao Yan quickly explained, “Since it’s to please them, we must choose something a little more expensive. When I get started with Jin Ming and let her blow 枕边风 [zhenbianfeng, pillow talk] in President Yang’s ear, it won’t be difficult for Weichuang Group to get more orders from Longwei. Just increasing a little bit of orders can’t be bought with this mere one million. You’re right, aren’t you?”

Chen Le felt that what Gao Yan said made sense, so he treated the money as public relations expenses.

Chen Le gritted his teeth and swiped his card to pay the bill.

Afterwards, the two happily took the bags to find Yang Chen and Jin Ming.

The cashier and the store manager whispered.

Cashier: “Mr. Yang is so powerful. The president of this Fortune 500 group is spending so much money to buy bags to please him.”

Store manager: “That’s for sure. Can someone who can become the second largest shareholder of the group be simple?”

Cashier: “He’s not just the second largest shareholder of the group. I just heard President Ma say that he’s also the boss of Xingchen Investment and invented some kind of chip that Longwei is using. Anyway, President Ma said that Mr. Yang is very powerful, just like the protagonist in a 爽文 [shuangwen, a type of Chinese web novel that focuses on wish fulfillment and satisfying the reader’s desires] novel.”

Store manager: “So powerful! No wonder this president is willing to spend more than one million to buy bags just so his girlfriend can get Mr. Yang’s girlfriend’s number.”

Cashier: “I really hope Mr. Yang can come every day. First, I can see such a handsome man, and I’ll be in a good mood all day. Second, he can bring us customers with strong purchasing power, which is easier and easier than doing it ourselves.”

Store manager: “Haha… You’re just dreaming. People earn millions every minute, how can they have so much free time to come here to play?”

…

Chen Le and Gao Yan happily came to Yang Chen and Jin Ming.

Gao Yan raised her hand to show the limited edition bag in her hand and said, “Jin Ming, look, Chen Le bought me a limited edition bag according to your request. Can you give me your phone number now?”

Jin Ming: “Okay. I’ll report it again, remember it.”

Gao Yan quickly took out her phone and wrote down Jin Ming’s number.

Gao Yan: “Hee hee… Thank you, Jin Ming. Honey, look, I’ve completed your request.”

Before Chen Le could speak, Jin Ming showed her phone to Gao Yan and said, “You deleted me once, and I’ll delete you once. We’re even.”

With that, Jin Ming deleted Gao Yan’s number.

Afterwards, she pulled Yang Chen and swaggered away.

Gao Yan and Chen Le were stunned and messed up in the crowd’s gaze.

Gao Yan quickly hugged the bag and wanted to turn around and escape.

Chen Le woke up and quickly said, “Quick! Return all the bags!”

Gao Yan: “Impossible! I completed your request, why should I return them! You only asked me to get the number, but you didn’t ask her not to delete my number.”

With that, Gao Yan turned around and wanted to run.

Chen Le was furious, feeling like he had become a sucker. He quickly rushed up, grabbed Gao Yan’s hair, and slapped her twice on the back of the head, saying, “I’m warning you for the last time, return all the bags, or I’ll kill you!”

Well, he changed his face again…
