Car-hailing Driver: Rewards from Complaints

Chapter 494 - 223: Clash of Two Major Capital Camps (Part 2)

Yang Chen: "We haven’t talked about it yet. Jin Ming is in charge of this; you can ask her later."

Huang Xiaomin: "Okay. I’ll hang up now; I won’t disturb you any longer."

Yang Chen grunted in acknowledgment and hung up the phone.

Yang Chen handed the phone back to Jin Ming.

Liang Tao quickly asked, "Do you know each other? What’s your relationship?"

Yang Chen: "Star Investment Company is mine; she manages the company for me."

The people at the scene gasped again.

"Wow..."

So this ride-hailing driver is actually a big investor.

Are the rich people these days really this bored?

Pretending to be dumb to catch a tiger?

Liang Tao: "Are you kidding? How could you possibly be the owner of Star Investment?"

Jin Ming: "Why couldn’t he be? Mr. Yang is not only the owner of Star Investment, but he’s also friends with these bosses. It’s just that he didn’t want to discourage you, so he hinted at us not to reveal it. You’ve worked hard to orchestrate this big show, and everyone cooperated with you to let you have your moment, then quickly moved on to business. Do you really think you’re better than Mr. Yang?"

Xue Yinong: "Mr. Yang, there’s no need to be so polite with him. If we can’t invest in He Li Lao, we’ll all invest in Hai Li Lao. Both companies are preparing to go public and are seeking the final round of funding; the initiative is in our hands. You don’t have to tolerate him."

Zhang Wu: "Haha... Exactly. The money is in our hands, and so is the decision-making power."

Liang Xiuyun: "Mr. Yang is truly good-tempered. After being put through such a big show and being deliberately provoked, you can still chat and laugh without showing any sign of anger. Admirable, admirable. Mr. Yang, you’re not that old, but your mindset is already so mature, not affected by such things."

...

A diner.

"Gosh, another twist?"

"The big shots these days are really bored. A chairman disguises as a waiter to secretly visit, and an investment giant pretends to be a ride-hailing driver to experience the common person’s hot pot experience. Sigh... the world of big shots is just so simple, dull, and unpretentious."

"But this investment big shot is obviously more impressive; he knows all the big names in the investment world, has money in hand, and can decide whom to fund."

"So, this chairman put on such a big show to vent his years-long frustration, only to find that the other one is still superior to him, just too disdainful to take it seriously. Isn’t that even more frustrating?"

"Haha... The He Li Lao chairman wanted to play dumb to catch a tiger, but instead found out he’s really a fool. The investment big shot kept giving in, turned out to be the real tiger. Sigh... it’s all about different levels, hence the different behaviors."

...

Liang Aihua quickly went forward to greet Xue Yinong and the others, taking the opportunity to learn who they all were.

After knowing their identities, Liang Aihua asked, "Are you all friends with Chenzi?"

Xue Yinong: "Of course. I’m not only friends with Mr. Yang but also neighbors."

The others also expressed how good their relationship was with Yang Chen.

Obviously, if they angered Yang Chen, this capital would surely withdraw together, not investing in He Li Lao anymore.

He Li Lao probably needs around 3 billion to complete the last round of store expansion.

Once this expansion is completed, their performance will have a noticeable sharp increase, and they can submit their application for listing.

So, Yang Chen must not be offended; keeping him means keeping this capital.

Liang Aihua smiled and nodded, saying to Yang Chen, "Chenzi, I never thought you’d develop so well, becoming a big shot in the investment world. Haha... Xiaotao, look, your mom and I were right about him, weren’t we? Hurry up and apologize to Chenzi."

Yang Chen: "No need, no need. Uncle, Auntie, you shouldn’t say that. Everyone has their own personality and destiny, there’s no need to compare with others. If it were me, I might not be able to stand my parents always comparing me to others. Actually, Liang Tao has done very well already, bringing He Li Lao close to going public and willing to hide his identity to conduct on-the-ground inspections; he’s indeed very outstanding."

Liang Aihua: "Sigh... No matter how outstanding he is, he’s not as good as you. Learning from those better than oneself is a positive and uplifting behavior."

Those words weren’t wrong. Honestly, Liang Tao has indeed done extremely well, considered exceptional among young people. Unfortunately, that ’other people’s kid’ who influenced him for twenty years is still better.

Yang Chen laughed and said, "He’s already very good, no need to compare with me. Alright, I won’t delay you from discussing business. I hope we can all successfully invest in He Li Lao."

With that, Yang Chen turned to leave.

Liang Aihua stepped forward and knocked Liang Tao on the head, scolding, "Why are you just standing there foolishly? Hurry up and apologize to Chenzi, didn’t you understand? What were you thinking doing this? How bored do you have to be to do such a silly thing?"

Liang Tao was completely torn apart; yes, he’s already good enough, but still not as good as Yang Chen. Why is he always overshadowed by Yang Chen?

Liang Tao unwillingly said, "No matter how well I do, in your hearts, I’m never as good as him, am I? Am I really your son, or is he your son? Is he your illegitimate child?"

"I’ll teach you, you little punk!" Liang Aihua slapped Liang Tao’s face and then hurriedly turned to Yang Chen, saying, "Chenzi, don’t mind him; he’s talking nonsense, don’t take it to heart."

Yang Chen frowned deeply, with a strong sense of anger in his eyes, and slowly walked up to Liang Tao.
