Chapter 137 - 127: Our Child Doesn’t Need You to Provide for

Just as he got back in the car, Bibi customer service called Yang Chen.Customer service: "Hello, is this Mr. Yang?"

Yang Chen: "Yes, it’s me."

Customer service: "A passenger called saying she left her phone in your car, but you refused to return it to her. Is that true?"

Yang Chen: "I reminded her that she dropped her phone, but she still ran off. Later I tried to return it to her, but didn’t know where she lived. So, I went to the local police station. She called asking for it back. It’s about a 5-kilometer round trip, so could I really go back? I refused and instead left it at the police station. I’ve notified her, she can pick it up herself. If she doesn’t want to, there’s nothing I can do."

Customer service: "Oh, I see. I’ll communicate with her further."

Free from this trouble, Yang Chen hurriedly drove to Bvlgari.

Pan Zhudan said the dinner was starting at 7:30, but due to the phone issue, Yang Chen arrived almost at eight.

Yang Chen walked into the large private room, and everyone immediately stood up to greet him.

The new second shareholder of Louis Vuitton turns out to be Yang Chen?

Oh, or rather the ride-sharing driver she knows as Yang Chen?

Earlier, Pan Zhudan and others advised her to behave well, perhaps she could be promoted to work at the Dragon Country District office, or maybe if a new store opens, she could become a store manager.

But Wang Jiayi felt that someone who could acquire so much Louis Vuitton stock couldn’t be the ride-sharing driver Yang Chen she knew, yet it was him!

Yang Chen smiled and said: "Everyone, I’m sorry, there was a little delay on the road. Please start eating, don’t wait for me."

Pan Zhudan quickly replied: "No need for formalities, Mr. Yang, it’s my fault. I should’ve informed you a day earlier so you wouldn’t be in a rush. Let me introduce you: This is the headquarters’ chief designer, Ms. Hiltabells."

Yang Chen stepped forward to give Ms. Hiltabells a hug, saying: "We’ve seen each other during a video call. Ms. Bells looks even more beautiful in person than on my phone."

Ms. Hiltabells laughed heartily and said: "Mr. Yang is quite handsome too, sharply defined, as if shaped bit by bit by a great sculptor. You’re the most handsome man from Dragon Country I’ve ever seen."

Though she was the chief designer, she understood the workplace rules: butter up the second largest shareholder, or her chief designer position could be removed at any moment.

Pan Zhudan then introduced the others, leaving ordinary store assistant Wang Jiayi for last.

Wang Jiayi smiled warmly and said: "You’re impressive, acquiring Louis Vuitton shares too. Does this rich guy need someone to warm his bed? I’m pretty good at it."

Everyone else was taken aback; is this really how you talk to the second largest shareholder?

Crazy!

Yang Chen replied with a smile: "We’ll see about that later. It’s getting late, let’s quickly sit down and eat."

The women exchanged looks, feeling there was some underlying meaning in Yang Chen and Wang Jiayi’s conversation but having no evidence.

Everyone sat down, unwrapping their cutlery, and started eating only once Yang Chen picked up his chopsticks.

The dinner had two main purposes.

First, for Yang Chen to meet the managers of the four stores in Hai City and the executives of Louis Vuitton’s Dragon Country District.

Second, for Ms. Hiltabells to alter his clothes and show him the work uniform designs.

Wang Jiayi looked at Yang Chen with admiration as he was surrounded and served by Ms. Hiltabells and others, thinking: "He’s everything I dreamed of in a man, too bad I’m not worthy of him..."

It was busy until past ten, before everything was done.

The final work uniform draft was confirmed, incorporating elements like dragons and the Great Wall, typical of Dragon Country, which Yang Chen found pleasing to his aesthetic.

After all, the employees all belong to him, whether they like it is not important, as long as he likes it.

No one has ever said work uniforms or school uniforms must match the wearer’s taste; they’re deemed good if the boss thinks so.

Tomorrow, Ms. Hiltabells will visit Chenguang Advertising Company to take everyone’s measurements, and the uniforms will be directly produced at the factory in Su City, Dragon Country.

The dinner came to an end.

Everyone found their excuses to leave, leaving only Yang Chen and Wang Jiayi.

Wang Jiayi opened her arms and said: "Can I have a hug?"

Yang Chen nodded.

Wang Jiayi happily hugged him.

"So, what are we doing next?" Wang Jiayi asked.

Yang Chen replied: "Do!"

Wang Jiayi was momentarily stunned, then quickly looked up at Yang Chen with a mix of amusement and mild annoyance.

Yang Chen laughed and said: "Didn’t you ask, what to do?"

"I meant what to do, not... not do..." Wang Jiayi shyly replied.

"Oh, I misunderstood. How awkward." Yang Chen replied with a smile, but didn’t seem awkward.

Wang Jiayi pouted at Yang Chen for a few seconds before asking again: "Then what do you want to do?"

"I don’t know, maybe go watch a movie?" Yang Chen replied.

Wang Jiayi rolled her eyes, shyly said: "I’m asking what do you want... to do?"

"Should I answer ’want’?" Yang Chen replied.

"Don’t just want, this kind of thing should be done." Wang Jiayi replied.

Yang Chen immediately took her upstairs to the guest room section and booked a room...

By dawn, when Yang Chen woke up, Wang Jiayi had already left, leaving 3,000 yuan and a note on the bedside table.

Yang Chen picked up the note to take a look.

"Not bad, you’re in good form, haven’t been fooling around lately. Big sis is very pleased. Use this 3,000 yuan to buy some supplements. See you next payday. Don’t worry, I’ll take the pill myself."

Damn!

Still playing this kind of trick.

As an ’older’ single woman, Wang Jiayi thinks a bit more.

Giving Yang Chen the 3,000 yuan, she can be both offensive and defensive.

If Yang Chen likes her, they can be together.

If Yang Chen doesn’t, she can claim she paid 3,000 yuan for Yang Chen’s services, thus defining the relationship as transactional, avoiding personal feelings.

Yang Chen picked up the phone and called the Dragon Country District General Manager, Pan Zhudan.

Shortly, the call connected.

Pan Zhudan: "Mr. Yang, so early. Is there something wrong?"

Yang Chen: "I wanted to ask if there are any new store plans in Hai City?"

Pan Zhudan: "Yes, we’re planning to open a Louis Vuitton and Misia connected store next to Jing’an Sports Center."

Yang Chen: "Appoint Wang Jiayi as the manager or let her be responsible for one of the brands."

Pan Zhudan, being a smart person, quickly replied: "Understood! I’ll call Misia Bund Store later to transfer Wang Jiayi to the headquarters for manager training."

Yang Chen: "Okay. Inform her of a six-month probation period. After that, if her performance doesn’t meet expectations, she’ll go back to her position as a store assistant."

Pan Zhudan: "Alright, alright. I know how to handle it. Rest assured, Mr. Yang."

A short-lived "marriage" deserves some care after all.

Her dream was to stay in the bustling city of Hai City, and now Yang Chen was creating that opportunity for her.

Even at the lowest, a store manager makes over half a million yuan a year, and doing well can earn over a million.

The opportunity is given to her, let’s see if she has the capability to seize it.
