Chapter 61 - 60: Identity—What Is His Real Identity?

Someone like Fang Huihui, such a minor character, how could Yang Chen argue with her?Yang Chen waved his hand and said, "I still have to drive in the afternoon, so I’m not drinking. Actually, it’s right for you all not to pour me a drink on purpose, I’m not blaming you."

The group once again showed awkward smiles, feeling ashamed of their childish behavior earlier.

Fang Huihui put down her glass and hurriedly said with a smile, "Yes, yes, yes, you have to drive, you definitely shouldn’t drink. So eat more, come on, eat. Xiaoliu, move over a bit, don’t crowd Mr. Yang."

Xiaoliu nodded his head, and everyone else also moved, quickly pulling their chairs aside to make more space for Yang Chen.

Earlier, when they were saying there was no space for Yang Chen, they weren’t this humble!

Seeing everyone so afraid of Yang Chen, Xu Xiaowan’s admiration for Yang Chen grew even more.

Yang Chen waved his hand and said to Yang Zhiqiang, "Manager Yang, come, sit next to me. You can keep teaching me about futures investment knowledge."

Yang Zhiqiang nodded and quickly switched places with Xiaoliu.

Yang Zhiqiang sat down, just about to start speaking, when his phone rang.

He took a look at it; it was from the company’s Crown Prince, Zhang Long.

"Mr. Yang, sorry, I need to step out to take a call. Our company’s boss’s son is calling me, it must be something urgent." Yang Zhiqiang said.

"Oh, okay, go ahead." Yang Chen replied with a smile.

Yang Zhiqiang nodded and quickly ran out to take the call.

A short while later, Yang Zhiqiang ran back in and said to Yang Chen, "Mr. Yang, I’m sorry, our prince wants me to return to the company, I have to leave immediately. I’ll explain to you next time."

"Ah? I was really getting into it. What does he want? Is it urgent?" Yang Chen asked.

"It’s not really urgent, our boss wants him to learn investment knowledge from me, so he wants me to go back and give him a lesson." Yang Zhiqiang replied.

"He’s the Crown Prince at your company, can’t he attend class anytime? I was really getting into it, and you suddenly leaving, how’s that okay? Call Zhang Long and tell him not to bother us." Yang Chen replied.

Everyone was stunned; what kind of status does this guy have to be so cocky?

Zhang Long is the heir of Sky Curtain Investment, yet he casually says not to let Yang Zhiqiang return?

Yang Zhiqiang quickly replied, "Mr. Yang, this... don’t put me in a difficult position. He’s the boss’s son, and if I don’t take care of him, it won’t be good for me at the company."

"Manager Yang, let me tell you, you’ve earned them so much money, they should be kowtowing to you. Why do you need to fear them? Indeed, all bosses are the same; the boss where I worked before wasn’t even human. You call him, I’ll speak to him." Yang Chen replied.

Yang Zhiqiang suddenly realized, Yang Chen must know Zhang Long, otherwise how could he be so confident?

Thinking this, Yang Zhiqiang became even more curious about Yang Chen’s identity.

Yang Zhiqiang dialed Zhang Long’s number and said, "Vice GM, um, do you know Mr. Yang Chen?"

Zhang Long quickly replied, "Of course! Why?"

Yang Zhiqiang replied, "Um... I’m currently having dinner with him. He said he wants to hear me talk about futures investment knowledge..."

Yang Chen interrupted, "Put it on speaker, I’ll talk to him."

Yang Zhiqiang nodded and promptly switched to speaker.

Then, Yang Chen said loudly, "Zhang Long, your manager’s investment knowledge is very extensive. I’m very interested in his talk on futures investment, and I’m really getting into it. You can learn from him anytime, don’t cut into my meal time. Okay?"

Zhang Long was shocked, "It really is you. No, I don’t quite get it. How did you end up having dinner together?"

"Haha... it’s just fate. Let Manager Yang explain to you later, just tell me if he can stay now, alright?" Yang Chen replied.

Zhang Long burst out laughing, "You’ve spoken, how could I not let him stay? Manager Yang, you better explain things well to Mr. Yang. Once you’ve finished there, report back to me. Make sure you treat Mr. Yang well, don’t neglect him."

Yang Zhiqiang was even more astounded; the Crown Prince saying that, it’s clear Yang Chen’s identity is far from simple.

"Alright, alright, I got it." Yang Zhiqiang quickly replied.

Zhang Long continued, "Mr. Yang, next time you have this kind of gathering, remember to invite me. Didn’t Manager Yang tell you he’s from our company?"

"He did, but I didn’t think it necessary to bother you, so I didn’t say anything." Yang Chen replied.

"Look at you, we don’t need to be so formal with each other, right? You took away my blind date, and I don’t even blame you; you’re not going to blame me, are you?" Zhang Long said with a chuckle.

Everyone was more and more shocked, Yang Chen actually took Zhang Long’s blind date?

And Zhang Long is still so courteous to Yang Chen?

So, what’s Yang Chen’s real identity?

Xu Xiaowan’s heart skipped a beat, and she couldn’t help but feel a pang of jealousy.

Yang Chen stole Zhang Long’s date, which means he now has a new girlfriend.

Thinking about this, Xu Xiaowan’s expression immediately turned mournful.

Yang Chen laughed and replied, "Don’t be upset, wasn’t it because you were too arrogant? We’re all young people, can I handle you showing off in front of me?"

"Haha... alright, let’s not talk about the past. Actually, I felt she wasn’t right for me. I went on the date because her boss introduced us, and I was just giving him face. When I saw her, I thought she looked decent, so I had a bit of a man’s desire, you know. If we truly hit it off, I wouldn’t have married her. You actually did me a big favor." Zhang Long said with a laugh.

This sounded pretty tactless, but it’s the truth.

How could the son of an investment company marry a woman who has nothing to offer besides her looks?

It’s okay to have fun, but marriage is out of the question.

Even if Zhang Long wanted to marry her, his dad wouldn’t agree.

High-society marriages always involve strategic alliances, the story of the prince and Cinderella only exists in fairy tales.

"Damn, you’re really such a jerk, trash. I don’t want to talk to you anymore," Yang Chen said.

"Haha... well, there’s no need for me to lie to you, right? That’s my true thoughts," Zhang Long replied.

Others were even more puzzled, has Yang Chen’s status reached a level where he can swear at Zhang Long?

No doubt about it, Yang Chen’s status is at least as the son of a group, and he certainly surpasses Zhang Long to speak this way.

"What you said makes so much sense, I’m speechless. Oh, by the way, I have a college mate named Xu Xiaowan who wants to apply to your company. Today’s dinner is also to build connections. If she gets hired, remind your staff not to bully her just because she’s new. Also, I absolutely hate workplace harassment; if she gets bullied by unspoken rules, I’ll hold you responsible. Got it?" Yang Chen said.

Zhang Long laughed out loud and said, "Don’t worry. Since she’s your classmate, how could I not take care of her? Oh, so you guys are having dinner together for this matter. My goodness, couldn’t you just tell me over the phone? This meal was unnecessary."

"I don’t want to owe favors for nothing. Since the topic came up, I just casually mentioned it," Yang Chen replied.

"Haha... got it, got it. Look, I agreed to lend money to Wang Qian Ni’s family company last time, and now I’m taking care of your classmate entering the job, that’s two favors I’ve done for you. Oh, also you stole my date, you should feel a bit guilty towards me, right? So, regarding our company’s investment in the Peninsula Hotel Group, you must vote in favor, okay?" Zhang Long said.

Yang Zhiqiang was even more shocked, he finally realized Yang Chen’s identity.

He understood why the hotel manager was so fearful of Yang Chen, and why Yang Chen could speak vulgarly to Zhang Long, because Yang Chen is the second shareholder positioning Sky Curtain Investment’s investment in the Peninsula Hotel Group!

News about Sky Curtain Investment wanting to invest had spread throughout the market, making the Peninsula Hotel’s stock price rise continuously lately.

The group’s market value is now 14 billion, and Yang Chen holds 28% of the shares, meaning he has nearly 4 billion in wealth.

"Oh my god, what was I doing just now? How could I say those things to a billionaire? I even thought of harassing his classmate with unspoken rules! Damn, luckily I found out early, or I’d be finished," Yang Zhiqiang thought to himself, feeling as if he’d narrowly escaped disaster.

"Of course, I’m a man of my word. At the next shareholders’ meeting, I’ll surely vote in favor," Yang Chen said with a smile.

"Haha... it’s settled then. Alright, I won’t interrupt your dinner anymore. Manager Yang, make sure to explain investment knowledge clearly to Mr. Yang. Hear me?" Zhang Long said loudly.

Yang Zhiqiang hurriedly replied, "Oh, okay, okay. Deputy General Manager, rest assured, I’ll do everything I can."

After hanging up, Yang Zhiqiang and others were embarrassed.

Earlier, they were bragging about how skilled Yang Zhiqiang was in investments, earning lots of money, with a high income.

Everyone was squeezing him and not pouring him wine.

Now they finally realize how ridiculous they were.

All of their combined assets aren’t even close to Yang Chen’s pocket change.

With such strength, how dare they show off in front of Yang Chen? No matter how they think about it, it’s embarrassing.

They’re very anxious now, worried that Yang Chen will retaliate.

But in fact, their worries are unnecessary, Yang Chen holds no interest in seeing eye-to-eye with Yang Zhiqiang, let alone caring about these trivialities.

With such different status and position, engaging them seriously would only lower his level.

"What’s everybody standing around for? Sit down and eat!" Yang Chen said with a smile.

Everyone quickly nodded and hurriedly sat down.

Yang Chen’s attitude remained unchanged, still smiling broadly.

However, the attitude of others towards him greatly changed, from previously arrogant and dismissive, to now anxious and fearful.
