9: Chapter 9: Express Delivery Pile Up

"General Niu, why did you come in person?" Manager Xu of Dingxin Wealth Building hastily greeted Niu Xingwang upon his arrival.

"Manager Xu, are you in charge of the matters concerning Mr. Oriental Chen One on the 6th floor?" Niu Xingwang asked.

"Ah, yes. Didn't General Niu say that such a big client must be served well?" Manager Xu said, surprised.

"Nothing went wrong, did it?" Niu Xingwang confirmed again.

"No, absolutely not!" Manager Xu quickly assured him.

"Let's go, let's go up and take a look." Niu Xingwang stood up and walked out.

Manager Xu quickly followed him. He didn't know what was going on, and he didn't dare to ask.

Upon reaching the 6th floor, many workers were busy tidying up.

"Did Mr. Oriental Chen say what the renovation was for?" Niu Xingwang asked.

"He said he wanted to open a company here." Manager Xu replied.

"What were his requirements?"

"He said he wasn't picky, just that it needed to be fast, and the quality of the work had to be guaranteed." Manager Xu replied.

"Hmm! Are the workers you found reliable?" Niu Xingwang continued to ask.

"They've cooperated many times, no problem." Manager Xu assured him.

"I'm telling you, this matter must be handled well. You personally supervise it, don't let a single mistake happen. Also, pass the word to those construction teams below; whoever dares to be careless will be fired!" Niu Xingwang instructed.

"Okay! I understand!" Manager Xu nodded vigorously in response.

He finally understood that if Niu Xingwang was so invested, he would likely be packing his bags and leaving if he slacked off.

...

The next day, Oriental Chen arrived at Brother Zhang's convenience store early in the morning.

"Brother Zhang, how is it? Can you find people?" Oriental Chen asked.

"Two have responded, and they'll arrive in a couple of days." Brother Zhang replied.

Actually, he only contacted two people, but they were still reluctant to come. However, without work, their families couldn't even make ends meet, so what was there to hesitate about? It was a rare good opportunity; if they missed it, it would be gone. After Brother Zhang scolded them, they reluctantly decided to come and take a look.

"No, Brother Zhang, that's too slow. How about this, I'll give you 300,000 first. 200,000 of that is this month's salary; you can pay your two friends directly. For the rest, arrange their plane tickets and have them come quickly! I'm in a desperate hurry here; I'm really overwhelmed!" Oriental Chen knew what everyone was worried about, and now he couldn't care less; he would just use his money power.

If he didn't speed up, he wouldn't even be able to get into his own home!

Packages were pouring into his house like water, and now they could only be placed at the building entrance; his house was already completely full.

"Ah? This..." Brother Zhang was stunned. Was it even possible to do things this way?

"Oh, don't just stand there. Oh, right, why don't you help me out first? I'll buy all the goods in your store!" Oriental Chen said.

"What?" Brother Zhang was surprised again.

"What on earth happened? This kid is acting like he's possessed," Brother Zhang thought.

Without further ado, Oriental Chen directly pulled Brother Zhang out of the store, had him lock the door, and then headed straight to his own building.

"Xiao Chen, what on earth is going on? Why are you in such a hurry?" Brother Zhang reacted halfway there and asked.

"Brother Zhang, you'll know when we get downstairs." Oriental Chen didn't explain, still walking quickly.

When they arrived downstairs, Brother Zhang finally understood.

"Holy cow, did you buy all of this?" Looking around, all that was laid out downstairs were packages.

"Exactly!" Oriental Chen was also very depressed.

Xiao Lin's series of actions were as fierce as a tiger, completely breaking Oriental Chen. This was just the beginning; a large number of packages were still on their way.

It was no exaggeration to say that he alone could account for the entire sales volume of a shopping festival.

"Although online shopping is convenient, you should also exercise some restraint!" Brother Zhang advised.

Restraint, my foot!

The people coming in and out of the community were already cursing him out. If he didn't solve this, the property management would just clear it all out as trash.

"Brother Zhang, as you can see, I can't handle this without help. This is just the beginning; there are many more packages to come." Oriental Chen said.

"Good heavens, if you can't fit it, can't you buy less?" Brother Zhang was also speechless.

Oriental Chen was even more speechless. Zombies were coming; he was afraid of buying too slowly, so how could he buy less?

"I'll explain it to you later if there's a chance. Let's start first. Brother Zhang, these are the car keys; we'll each drive one. Once they're full, take them directly to your comrade's warehouse." Oriental Chen said.

He wanted to refuse, but Oriental Chen said he had bought all the goods in his store, so what was the point of minding the store?

"Alright!" Brother Zhang reluctantly agreed.

They spent the entire day continuously hauling, with new packages arriving non-stop. This cycle continued until the afternoon, and they still hadn't finished hauling everything.

The two of them were exhausted. Oriental Chen asked Brother Zhang for the warehouse address, then called Xiao Lin's virtual number, telling her to change the address for all the packages that could be modified, so they would be sent directly to the warehouse from now on.

However, there was nothing they could do about the packages already on their way; they just had to move them.

"Mr. Oriental Chen, what's all this?" Manager Xu arrived with Niu Xingwang.

"Oh! Manager Xu. What's up? Do you need something from me?" Oriental Chen was sweating profusely, moving things into the car.

"Oh, Mr. Oriental Chen, let me introduce you; this is our group's chairman, Niu Xingwang." Manager Xu introduced.

"Hello, Boss Niu, may I ask what I can do for you?" Oriental Chen politely asked.

"Mr. Oriental Chen, what's all this?" Niu Xingwang did not state his purpose and asked the same question again.

"Oh, there are a lot of packages, and there's no room at home, so I'm moving them to another place." Oriental Chen replied while moving things.

"Uh~," Niu Xingwang had never seen such a scene before. If there was no room at home, why keep buying? Wasn't this just spending money to suffer?

However, he couldn't say that, so he changed his approach:

"How can Mr. Oriental Chen do such rough work! You rest, I'll call a few people to help you move!"

"Really? Boss Niu, thank you so much!" Oriental Chen's eyes lit up.

"It's nothing! It's nothing!" Niu Xingwang hastily took out his phone to call people over.

Soon, twenty or so people arrived. Oriental Chen distributed the car keys to everyone, and all 20 pickup trucks were put to use, quickly clearing everything out.

Oriental Chen also took the opportunity to have people clear out all the goods from Brother Zhang's store.

However, today's hauling was done, but there was still tomorrow's, and the day after's...

The packages whose addresses couldn't be changed while in transit would last for at least two to three days.

Boss Niu was also straightforward, telling everyone to gather the next two days to help move things. This flattery was certainly well-placed.

"Mr. Oriental Chen, if it's convenient, would you like to have dinner together tonight?" After everything was done, Niu Xingwang finally stated the purpose of his visit.

Another reason he came to invite Oriental Chen was to understand the development of the Binjiang Park Museum project.

Oriental Chen also needed to explain this matter, so he agreed.

The location was set at the five-star hotel next to Dingxin Wealth Building, diagonally opposite the community: Yuding Hotel.

Oriental Chen first went home, took a shower, changed his clothes, and then walked to the hotel alone.

"Mr. Oriental Chen, to be honest, I've been in the real estate business for so many years, and this is the first time I've seen a project like this. If any part of the process isn't handled well, I hope Mr. Oriental Chen will provide guidance."

After they were seated, Niu Xingwang got straight to the point.

As for any part of the process not being handled well, that was impossible. Niu Xingwang said this because he wanted to know how much leeway he had.

The Binjiang Park Museum project was truly a white elephant project, and Niu Xingwang was well aware of it. Such projects are usually developed through resource exchange at the local level. Money is not involved, and it's very rare for a private enterprise to undertake it exclusively through donation. Businessmen pursue profit; that's a given. Who would do something without benefit?

"Boss Niu, you're too kind. I presume you've already received all the blueprints; just follow the requirements." Oriental Chen replied.

But it was precisely this kind of reaction that made him even more perplexed.

"Could it be that this young man has no demands and is completely incorruptible?" Niu Xingwang thought. At this moment, he was also very troubled, having just met him and not knowing his depth. If he rashly offered benefits, and failed to gauge the appropriate amount, then things would be difficult later. But if he didn't show any gesture, and the other party deliberately found fault later, he might not be able to handle it.

"Haha! Mr. Oriental Chen, a young man as accomplished as you is rare! I wonder if you have a girlfriend now?" Niu Xingwang said a polite remark, taking the opportunity to gather some useful information.

"Uh..., Boss Niu, isn't it a bit inappropriate to discuss this topic on our first meeting?" Oriental Chen was also speechless; why did everyone ask him this question wherever he went?

Speaking of which, this was the happiness of young people, and also their original sin.

Boss Niu was quite startled when he heard this, thinking he had asked an inappropriate question, and that the other party was reprimanding him.

"Apologies! Apologies! I'll punish myself with a drink!" Boss Niu quickly apologized, raised his glass, and downed it.

"Hmm? So humble? That shouldn't be the case for someone at this level, should it? Maintaining such a low profile, truly an old hand. Looks like I can unleash my 'Great Art of Deception'." Oriental Chen thought. He smiled slightly, indicating he didn't mind.

"Boss Niu! This project isn't as simple as it appears on the surface." Oriental Chen said mysteriously.

"Oh? I'd like to hear more!" Niu Xingwang immediately became interested; this was what he wanted to know.

It was truly not easy to get any information out of this young man!

"I wonder if Boss Niu has seen the blueprints?" Oriental Chen asked.

"Apologies, I just received the blueprints this afternoon and sent them to the project department; I haven't seen them yet." Niu Xingwang replied.

"That's alright. Other things cannot be said yet, but I can reveal some things about the blueprints." Oriental Chen said slowly, making things up as he went along.

When it came to improvising and performing, ten storytellers couldn't compare to him.

Niu Xingwang didn't speak or eat, eagerly waiting for Oriental Chen to make things up, no, to continue speaking. But Oriental Chen would say one sentence and take two bites, unhurriedly, which was driving him crazy.
