Chapter 929: Chapter 331: Suicide in Red? (Part 2)

Huang Dafu and his people didn’t listen to the explanation and turned to leave.

Zhao Xin immediately interjected, "There are two copies of the contract, tearing it won’t be any use. Also, President Huang damaged our big G wagon with a dent. You think just leaving like this is right? So many guests are watching. You yourself insisted on signing the contract, and you were the one who punched the hood and damaged it, right?"

The onlookers were adding fuel to the fire.

"You’re really bullying people here. The guy buys six cars at once, and you give the model he wanted to a delivery guy."

"Exactly! The poor guy is a coal boss from West Mountain, and you prefer to let a delivery guy take away the model instead of giving it to him, that’s just too much, like a slap in the face!"

"If a delivery guy can take away a model, surely we can take one too when we buy a car? It’s only reasonable, right?"

"We’re supporting you guys in standing up for your rights; they must keep their word. If they promised to give a model with a car purchase, they should honor it."

...

Zhao Xin, intentionally causing trouble, immediately led his employees to rush over and block Huang Dafu and his group, clearly stating that they couldn’t leave without compensating for the damage.

Huang Dafu’s group was already angry, and both sides quickly started fighting because of a disagreement.

Soon, the police arrived and took all those involved back for investigation.

...

At this moment, Yang Chen was casually driving around with Zhao Chunxue.

Zhao Chunxue: "Brother, you were really brave today, daring to go against those coal bosses. Aren’t you afraid they’ll... Oh, right, you have bodyguards behind you, I forgot. Haha... Did you really buy their car?"

Yang Chen: "No, I didn’t fancy it, I’ll check it out some other day at the store."

Zhao Chunxue: "You didn’t buy a car, so why was Manager Zhao so nice to you?"

Yang Chen: "I acquired shares in Mercedes-Benz, of course, he would treat me well."

Zhao Chunxue: "Seriously or not?"

See, telling the truth never seems believable. If I say I’m just a rideshare driver, they deliberately pick on me.

Being a person is really tough.

Zhao Chunxue was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked, "I figured why Mercedes-Benz Longguo Group specifically wanted me as a model; it turns out you were helping me."

Yang Chen replied with a smile, "So, how is it? Isn’t your brother especially nice to you? How are you planning to thank me?"

Zhao Chunxue: "Hehe... Didn’t I come out with you already? However you want me to thank you, it’s up to you. I brought my ID, and my relatives just left. I can stay out tonight and not return to the dorms, so it’s up to you."

Yang Chen just smiled silently and soon dropped her off at the entrance of Hai City University.

Zhao Chunxue looked at Yang Chen in surprise and said, "Oppa, what do you mean by this? Why bring me back to school? Didn’t I tell you I brought my ID and don’t have to go back to the school dormitory?"

Yang Chen: "I still have to drive my car, it’s inconvenient to have you along. Go back."

"You... hmph!" Zhao Chunxue huffed angrily, got out of the car, and stomped away in frustration.

Every few steps she took, she looked back, stomped her foot, generally very upset.

Yang Chen chuckled and drove off.

"Damn playboy, I hinted so clearly, yet you brought me back! Am I that unattractive? I’m not bad, am I? Otherwise, why would those coal bosses instantly pick me? I really don’t know what’s on his mind; I’ve been so forward, yet it’s not working. Surely, it won’t come to the point where I have to make a forceful move, right?" Zhao Chunxue muttered as she walked.

Just then, a male voice approached with flowers, saying, "Zhao Chunxue, I like you, be my girlfriend."

"Scram! As far away as possible!" Zhao Chunxue replied irritably, without even lifting her head to see who was confessing to her.

The admirer, holding a bouquet of flowers, looked helplessly at Zhao Chunxue’s departing figure.

...

Evening.

Liu Qiang and Zhao Xin separately reported back to their companies about the situation at the car show.

Subsequently, Liao Yongfu, chairman of All-Star Group, made a call to Xu Guangyou, chairman of Beijing Benz.

The two chairmen exchanged some pleasantries initially, then Liao Yongfu said, "Your Manager Zhao from Beijing Benz seems a bit out of his mind. Offending the coal boss from West Mountain for a delivery guy and causing a rift with our clients isn’t good for the Mercedes-Benz brand image."

Xu Guangyou responded with a laugh, "Chairman Liao, that’s not fair to say. Mr. Yang Chen, the major shareholder of Mercedes-Benz Group’s Star Investment, was on-site for an inspection. Manager Zhao was just doing what any sensible person would do. If he didn’t curry favor with Mr. Yang Chen, that would have been a big problem. I looked into the matter; it was your Manager Liu who promised a car model with a car purchase, which led to a series of misunderstandings and troubles. I see no wonder your All-Star Group’s channels are doing so well; it seems you rely on methods like this. As for bribery, it’s okay to do it subtly, but how can you do it openly at a car show? Still, it doesn’t surprise me, as your All-Star Group excels at such things. Just recently, wasn’t your Zhang Yongjun explicitly fired by Mr. Yang for accepting bribery? I’ve wondered why our Beijing Benz’s channels couldn’t match up with yours at All-Star Group; now I see it’s because we don’t engage in such activities."

Liao Yongfu became furious and said, "Chairman Xu, no need to put it so harshly. Such social practices are not unique to my company; other companies also engage in such things. Anyway, I’m not here to debate with you. I just want to know how you plan to resolve this issue?"
