How A Ride-Hailing Driver Comes To Dominate The World? [EN]: Chapter 462

The Arrogance of a Small Purchasing Department Manager

The Nobel Committee’s announcement quickly spread around the world.

Media outlets in various countries rushed to report it.

Associated Press: Recently, the Nobel Committee announced that the Star Technology quantum team from Dragon Country has submitted an application for the selection of research results on quantum entanglement. Once approved, it would mean that the team has pre-booked this year’s Nobel Prize in Physics. Dragon Country’s technological development has been rapid in recent years, with a tendency to catch up with developed countries. This should be given enough attention to avoid being overtaken by them.

Reuters: The Nobel Committee officially accepted the selection application for the quantum entanglement research results submitted by the Star Technology quantum team from Dragon Country. The team just developed a quantum chip last year, pulling Dragon Country out of its chip dilemma and allowing the world to purchase quantum chips from Dragon Country. Now, the team has proven the authenticity of quantum entanglement, and the speed at which they obtain scientific research results is shocking. Is the two-hundred-year history of Western countries leading in technology about to be ended by this team?

Dragon Country Times: Congratulations to Star Technology for achieving world-shattering scientific research results once again. They figured out the problem that even Einstein didn’t understand. It seems like just yesterday that Star Technology donated quantum chip technology to the country free of charge, and today they have achieved new accomplishments again, at a speed that is astonishing. We hope they will continue to work hard and inject super power into the technological development of Dragon Country.

The Dragon Country Times published a column article, and other media quickly followed up with reports.

With the media’s hype, netizens also joined in the comments.

“Star Technology Group is really amazing, with a major scientific research result every year. It would be great if our country had more technology companies like this. We will soon be able to achieve the great rejuvenation of the nation.”

“I read the papers they published, and I don’t understand them at all. However, I found a familiar name, that is, Yang Chen. The Star Investment boss who harvested the oil and banking industries before is also called Yang Chen, the major shareholder of Star Technology Group is still Yang Chen, and the person in charge of quantum chip and quantum entanglement research is still called Yang Chen. So, are these Yang Chens the same person?”

“I just want to know if Star Technology and Star Investment are the same boss’s company. The bosses of these two companies are both called Yang Chen. It’s impossible for it to be such a coincidence, right?”

“Why can’t I find Yang Chen’s photos online? Could it be that Yang Chen is not a person, but a code name?”

……

Originally, everyone’s focus should have been on the research results of quantum entanglement, but now everyone is not interested in this research result, but is instead deeply interested in Yang Chen himself.

However, they searched online but couldn’t find Yang Chen’s photos.

After completing the equity acquisition of Qian Du Group, Yang Chen was able to control most of the Dragon Country’s online platforms.

Netizens search for information through Qian Du, UC and other mobile browsers, Dou Yin [TikTok], Man Shou [Kuaishou], etc. Yang Chen directly or indirectly holds the equity of these platforms. He only needs one phone call to shield his photos.

The remaining online platforms, due to their limited strength, will naturally give Yang Chen face and shield his photos.

Although Little Ma is only the chairman of Penguin Technology, you can’t find photos of his daughter anywhere online.

The principle is the same.

……

Yang Chen walked out of the Jingcheng Airport, and Zhuo Wenjun drove to pick him up.

Zhuo Wenjun rushed forward, hugged Yang Chen, and kissed him, saying, “Brother Chen, congratulations! You researched it so quickly! I’ll treat you to dinner tonight to celebrate. This year’s Nobel Prize in Physics is definitely yours. No one can compete with you!”

Yang Chen: “Haha… Thank you. What do you want to eat? We can go now.”

Zhuo Wenjun: “This is a big deal; we have to eat a big meal. Let’s go to Tang Court [a high-end restaurant]. You must let me treat you today. I want to express my feelings; I can’t let you treat.”

Yang Chen: “Haha… Okay, then we’ll go to Tang Court, and you can treat.”

Zhuo Wenjun nodded happily and quickly sat in the passenger seat, letting Yang Chen drive to Tang Court.

Wang Jia Yi and the others all have BMW Z4s, and Zhuo Wenjun must also have one, so we can’t favor one over the other.

Yang Chen: “There is a three-day car show at the convention center. Are you free tomorrow morning? I’ll take you to have a look and buy you a car.”

Zhuo Wenjun: “Ah? No, no, a car is too expensive; I can’t accept such an expensive gift.”

Yang Chen: “You should take what I give you. I have too much money. I’ve been spending it since the ape-man era, and I still can’t spend it all. You can’t take it with you after you die, so it’s a waste not to spend it. Just accept it with peace of mind; don’t have any psychological burden. Even if we break up in the future, I won’t ask you to return it.”

Zhuo Wenjun: “Huh? Hmph! You actually dare to think about breaking up with me? From the moment I decided on you, I never thought about breaking up with you. If you don’t want me one day, I’ll hang myself in a red dress at your door in the middle of the night. I’ll make you never forget me for the rest of your life.”

Yang Chen: “Haha… There’s no need to be so cruel, right? Why are you trying to scare people while we’re still dating?”

Zhuo Wenjun: “Hmph! I don’t care; I just want to find a way to make you remember me forever.”

Girls in their first love are like this; they always feel that if they break up, they may not be able to survive. Zhuo Wenjun’s words not only represent her own thoughts but also the thoughts of thousands of girls.

Yang Chen: “Don’t worry, I have a good memory; I will never forget you in my life. Make time tomorrow; let’s go to the car show together.”

Zhuo Wenjun: “Okay. Hee hee…”

Soon, the two arrived at Tang Court.

Zhuo Wenjun is really going all out today, ordering expensive ingredients such as caviar and black truffles, determined to celebrate Yang Chen’s reservation for this year’s Nobel Prize in Physics.

To be honest, Zhuo Wenjun is much better than most girls.

Many girls now only know how to ask men for things and don’t understand how to give to their boyfriends or husbands.

Some girls on the internet even say that it’s cost-effective to go to a restaurant that costs a thousand yuan per person by themselves, but it’s a waste to go with their boyfriend. I don’t know what kind of cattle and horses they are [a derogatory term for someone who is useless or behaves badly].

In contrast, it is obvious how good Zhuo Wenjun is.

After dinner, it was already 8:30 in the evening.

Originally, Yang Chen wanted to chat with Zhuo Wenjun for a while longer, but there was a noise outside.

After a while, the store manager Li Enhui ran in.

Li Enhui: “Mr. Yang, I’m sorry, someone drank too much and said a few words. Did I disturb you and Miss Zhuo’s meal?”

Yang Chen: “It’s okay. Did you handle it?”

Li Enhui: “I just comforted them. I still have to talk to them and see what I can offer them so they don’t make trouble here.”

Yang Chen: “Who are they?”

Li Enhui: “It seems to be the purchasing department manager of the Michelin factory and the supplier. If I’m not mistaken, the Michelin manager seems to have taken a fancy to a young girl brought by the supplier. The girl doesn’t understand the workplace, so she probably didn’t let him take advantage of her, and he seems to be angry.”

Yang Chen looked at Li Enhui with a puzzled expression and said, “Are you sure it’s the purchasing department manager of Michelin?”

Li Enhui: “Yes! I’m sure. They keep calling him Manager Zhang and saying that they will give them more Michelin orders in the future.”

Yang Chen nodded and said, “Okay, I got it. Go ahead and do your work.”

Li Enhui nodded and turned to leave.

Zhuo Wenjun: “Can Manager Li handle it?”

Yang Chen: “If she can’t handle this kind of scene, what kind of store manager is she? If it’s really some big shot, isn’t there still me? Let’s go; let’s go for a drive.”

Zhuo Wenjun nodded shyly and asked softly, “Are we going to the river again?”

Last time, an accident happened by the river, and both of them got their clothes wet. Then Zhuo Wenjun went to Yang Chen’s house to take a bath and change clothes, which led to their good fortune.

Does she still want to go to the river again?

Yang Chen: “Actually, the bathroom in my house can also get your clothes wet; you don’t necessarily have to go to the river.”

Zhuo Wenjun laughed out loud, her cheeks instantly turning red, and she said softly, “Then let’s go to your house and try the wet effect of the bathroom.”

Yang Chen: “OK! No problem! Let’s go!”

The two got up and left the private room. They had only taken a few steps when the private room in front of them started arguing again. Then, a middle-aged man wearing glasses walked out angrily.

He looked like he had drunk a lot, his face and neck were flushed, his eyes were a little blurred, and he was walking unsteadily.

“If you don’t give me face, you’re not giving Michelin face. You still want to take orders? Dream on!” the man shouted.

Yang Chen frowned. How dare he mess around outside in the name of Michelin? He had to teach him a lesson.

At this time, a middle-aged woman chased out of the private room, followed by a young and beautiful girl.

Yang Chen took a closer look and was surprised to see that it was Xu Xiaowan, the class monitor from his university days.

Xu Xiaowan was also very surprised to see Yang Chen. She thought she would never see him again, but she didn’t expect to meet him here.

“He seems to have become more handsome and more charming than before. The beautiful girl next to him must be his girlfriend. Only such a beautiful girl can be worthy of him,” Xu Xiaowan thought to herself.

Yang Chen: “Xu Xiaowan, long time no see. Why did you come to Jingcheng?”

Xu Xiaowan: “I came to meet a client. I heard that you moved to Jingcheng. I thought I would never see you again, but I didn’t expect to meet you in this kind of situation.”

Zhuo Wenjun’s heart trembled. According to this young lady, it seems that she and Yang Chen have a past.

Zhuo Wenjun: “Brother Chen, is she your friend? She’s so pretty.”

Yang Chen: “She is my university classmate Xu Xiaowan.”

Zhuo Wenjun: “Xu Xiaowan, hello, my name is Zhuo Wenjun; I’m very happy to meet you.”

Xu Xiaowan: “Hello, I’m also very happy to meet you.

You… you go ahead; let’s talk another time.”

Yang Chen: “Is he trying to take advantage of you?”

Xu Xiaowan’s face turned red instantly, and she felt very ashamed.

In college, Xu Xiaowan liked Yang Chen, but because he had a girlfriend at the time, she never dared to express it.

Later, after Yang Chen broke up with Zhao Feifei, Xu Xiaowan even took the initiative to approach Yang Chen, but at that time, Yang Chen was focused on getting bad reviews and had no intention of dating.

Xu Xiaowan felt that a girl should take the initiative to give up if she doesn’t get a response, otherwise she would seem too cheap.

Moreover, Yang Chen was already a shareholder of Baoqing Hotel at that time, and Xu Xiaowan knew that she was not worthy of him, so she took the initiative to give up.

However, giving up was only a superficial behavior, and she still had a good impression of Yang Chen in her heart.

Hearing the person she secretly loves ask if another man is taking advantage of her, she instantly felt very ashamed.

The Michelin manager next to him immediately said angrily to Yang Chen, “Who are you saying is taking advantage of her? I warn you to be careful what you say. It doesn’t matter if you slander me, but I am the purchasing department manager of the Michelin Haicheng factory; you are also insulting the Michelin Group. Do you know what the consequences of this are? Our group can sue you until you are bankrupt and your family is destroyed.”

Damn it, how dare a small purchasing department manager be so arrogant?

If he were the factory director, wouldn’t all the female employees in the factory be spared?

Yang Chen: “What’s your name?”

The pretentious man replied pretentiously, “My name is Zhang Lin. Is there a problem?”

Yang Chen: “Of course, there is a problem! The company hired you as the purchasing department manager to purchase products, not to bully suppliers in the name of work. You even dare to mess around outside under the banner of Michelin; who gave you the guts?”

Zhang Lin: “Who do you think you are? How dare you teach me a lesson like this! Even my brother-in-law wouldn’t dare to teach me a lesson like this!”

Yang Chen: “Who is your brother-in-law?”

Zhang Lin: “My brother-in-law is Huang Kai, the director of the Haicheng factory.”

I see; this guy is so blatantly messing around outside under the banner of the Michelin purchasing department manager. It turns out that he has his brother-in-law as his backer. Even if he makes a mistake, his brother-in-law will clean up the mess for him. He is completely fearless.

Seeing that Yang Chen didn’t speak, Zhang Lin said triumphantly again, “What is your relationship with her? Have you dated before?”

Yang Chen: “We are university classmates. I won’t make things difficult for you. Go back and resign voluntarily, and that’s the end of it. Otherwise, I’ll make you and your brother-in-law pack up and get out.”

Zhang Lin: “Damn it! Who are you? So arrogant!”

The Li Enhui next to him quickly said, “This is Mr. Yang Chen, the owner of our Tang Court.”

Xu Xiaowan was shocked. Yang Chen’s business has expanded again, and he has even bought the three-Michelin-star restaurant Tang Court.

In this way, the gap between her and him is getting bigger and bigger.

“Sigh…” Xu Xiaowan sighed in her heart.

Zhang Lin laughed and said, “I thought you were some big shot, but you’re just a restaurant owner. So what if Tang Court is a three-star restaurant? It’s still a restaurant, and you’re still a restaurant owner. You’re not afraid of flashing your tongue [saying something you’ll regret] when you say such big words. You even want me and my brother-in-law to pack up and get out. Look at what you can do. If you piss me off, tomorrow when the chairman of Michelin comes to discuss business, I’ll ask my brother-in-law to talk to him, and it won’t be difficult to cancel your Tang Court’s three-star rating. Understand? Manager Gao, give them a bad review later, understand?”

Xu Xiaowan’s superior Gao Yun quickly nodded and said, “Manager Zhang, calm down. I’ll do whatever you say.”

Then, Gao Yun turned to stare at Xu Xiaowan and said, “Xiaowan, don’t be willful. This is related to the company’s survival for the next year. If you mess it up, the boss will definitely not let you off easily when you go back.”

Xu Xiaowan: “But I’m just here to work for the company, not to be a prostitute for the company. You give me eight thousand yuan a month, let me do work, and also want me to play with clients? Is your money that great?”

After speaking, Xu Xiaowan shed tears of anger and sadness.

The current social atmosphere is like this; using the body to exchange for orders is nothing new.

However, you have to get enough money to tempt people to give up their dignity to do so.

For example, those salesmen who sell luxury houses and cars, especially some top salesmen, may have situations where they use their bodies to exchange for customers.

People make a commission of tens of thousands of yuan for each transaction, so it is necessary to sell their bodies.

Giving eight thousand yuan a month, and also doing essential work, and also accompanying customers to play, this must be exchanged for US dollars.

Gao Yun looked embarrassed and said, “Xiaowan, what are you talking about? Don’t talk nonsense. Manager Zhang just wants to be friends with you; you’re thinking too much. Manager Zhang, am I right?”

Zhang Lin: “Haha… She’s not thinking too much; I’m actually interested in her. I’m going back to the hotel now. If Manager Gao wants Michelin’s orders, you should know what to do. I live in room 3010 of the Bulgari Hotel next door. I’m leaving.”

After speaking, Zhang Lin left triumphantly. He also glared at Yang Chen arrogantly and said, “Remember, whether Tang Court’s three stars can be preserved depends entirely on my mood. Yours, understand? Haha…”

Xu Xiaowan said crying, “Yang Chen, I’m sorry; I’ve implicated you.”

Yang Chen: “You haven’t implicated me. Don’t cry; there’s no need to cry. We’re classmates; since I’ve met you, I definitely won’t sit idly by. Come here again at 7 pm tomorrow, and I’ll make this guy kneel down and apologize to you. Also, quit your crappy company now, and come over tomorrow to take over Zhang Lin’s position as the purchasing department manager of the Michelin Haicheng factory.”

Sorry everyone, the previous update was stuck by the review, and I still couldn’t release it after modifying it. I have to wait two days before I can modify it a second time. I’m numb. In addition, everyone, have a good May Day holiday. There are crowds of people outside, and it seems that the second wave is coming again. Please pay attention to protection. Thank you.
