CHAPTER 694: CHAPTER 668: SHOCKED AGAIN

"That luxury car is yours?" Manager Zhang looked incredulous.

"What do you think?" Ye Chen retorted.

This time, Manager Zhang didn’t speak. Just as the security called, Ye Chen’s phone rang. What more could he say? It was obvious the Cullinan belonged to Ye Chen.

One must know that as a manager, he only earned a few hundred thousand a month, while Ye Chen’s Cullinan was worth decades of his hard work.

Thinking about the mockery he just directed at Ye Chen, he felt deeply embarrassed.

Ye Chen walked out the door towards the luxury car the security mentioned.

He opened the car door, got in, and parked the car in the parking lot.

As Ye Chen left, the hall buzzed with discussions.

"Damn, is Ye Chen a rich kid here to experience life?"

"Driving a luxury car to deliver packages, we can’t understand the world of the wealthy."

"If I were that rich, I’d definitely have fancy cars and beauties around me; I’d never do a courier job even if it killed me."

"Look, even being so wealthy, he’s still working hard here. I really feel ashamed."

"Ring ring, ring ring." Someone’s phone started ringing.

After a few rings, Manager Zhang snapped back to reality; the shock he received was immense.

Seeing the caller ID, Manager Zhang hastily picked up the call, and an irritated voice came through: "Zhang Tao, where have you been? Why did it take so long to answer the phone?"

"President Zhao, do you have any instructions?" Manager Zhang didn’t answer but instead asked.

He definitely couldn’t say he was stunned by a young man.

"The new boss is coming to your place soon, and I’ll be there too. Make sure to treat him well, don’t slack off. This is a big opportunity for you, don’t embarrass me." Zhao Ming carefully instructed.

"Yes, yes, brother-in-law, don’t worry." Zhang Tao nodded hurriedly while hiding in a corner.

It’s known that Zhang Tao is Zhao Ming’s brother-in-law, and he has been looked after by this brother-in-law in the company.

Zhao Ming is considered upper management in the company, so he’s very aware of the company’s dynamics.

When everyone saw Ye Chen return, they all had expressions of admiration on their faces.

The chubby guy who was just scolded walked up to Ye Chen, stretched out his hand, and smiled: "Hello Brother Ye, I’m Guo Cheng. You must be a rich kid here to experience life."

Ye Chen also politely stretched out his hand and said, "Hello Guo Cheng, experiencing life is correct, but I’m a first-generation wealthy."

Seeing Guo Cheng trying to get close to Ye Chen, others couldn’t stand by.

They all gathered around Ye Chen, trying to please the handsome and wealthy young man in front of them.

"Brother Ye, do you still need any accessories?"

"Brother Chen, I’ll follow you from now on."

"Brother Ye, I’m your little brother, I’ll go through fire and water for you."

Ye Chen: "..."

Zhang Tao stood aside, unable to pay attention to the crowd. He was thinking about what to say and do when the new boss arrived to make a good impression.

But since Zhao Ming was also coming, he needn’t worry too much. He would just follow his brother-in-law’s lead.

Zhang Tao addressed the crowd: "Everyone disperse and get back to work. Remember, the customer is king."

However, his attitude towards Ye Chen had changed and was no longer as hostile as before.

Ye Chen addressed the other couriers: "Tonight, my treat. Let’s meet at the Marriott Hotel."

"Brother Ye, you’re so generous."

Everyone said in unison, except for Zhang Tao.

Zhang Tao thought having a good relationship with these couriers wouldn’t get him a promotion or a raise, but hosting the new boss well could brighten his future.

Ye Chen was about to leave when he saw Zhao Ming approaching.

Upon seeing his brother-in-law, Zhang Tao quickly ran over, but Zhao Ming ignored him and instead walked towards Ye Chen, respectfully saying, "Boss, hello, I’m the business manager Zhao Ming."

Upon hearing Zhao Ming’s title for Ye Chen, everyone was stunned.

Zhang Tao finally realized that this young man was the new boss. He hurried over to Ye Chen and also respectfully said, "Boss, hello, I apologize for my earlier offenses, please forgive me."

Initially, Zhao Ming planned to introduce Zhang Tao, but upon hearing what Zhang Tao said, his smile disappeared immediately.

He looked angrily at Zhang Tao, while Ye Chen remained silent.

Zhang Tao was so scared his legs were trembling; he never would have dreamed that the young man in front of him was the new boss.

When Zhao Ming first saw Ye Chen in a courier uniform, he was stunned too, but having seen Ye Chen’s photo, he quickly recognized the young man as the new boss.

Fear and nervousness made Zhang Tao stutter, "President Zhao, I didn’t know he was the new boss. Just now, when I was lecturing employees, the boss said a few words to me, but I actually retorted. I know I was wrong."

After saying this, Zhang Tao deeply regretted it. If he had known the young man was the boss, he would never have dared to behave so arrogantly in front of Ye Chen.

Now, he’s not even thinking about promotions or raises, he’s just happy to keep his original position.

"What, Zhang Tao, you don’t want to work anymore, huh? How dare you talk back to the new boss. If the boss doesn’t forgive you, there’s nothing I can do," Zhao Ming said unsparingly.

If Zhao Ming weren’t henpecked, he would never have let his brother-in-law work at this company.

Since Zhang Tao’s arrival, he’s caused a lot of trouble and Zhao Ming had cleaned up after him more times than he could count. Although unwilling, he had no choice due to his wife’s pressure.

He thought if his brother-in-law could perform well in front of the new boss, he might get promoted or a raise. But this guy turned out to be so clueless and actually talked back to the boss.

Despite their good relationship, Zhao Ming couldn’t risk his own position to help his brother-in-law. This troublemaker would have to fend for himself.

If his wife held him accountable, Zhao Ming would at least have an explanation this time.

Ye Chen looked at Zhang Tao, whose face had turned pale with fear, and said, "Manager Zhang, your attitude towards me then and now is completely different. When I’m the boss, you flatter me; when you thought I was an employee, you lectured, mocked, and laughed at me. I think you’re really not suited to be a manager."

Before Zhang Tao could speak, Ye Chen continued, "As a manager in a service industry, you should firstly treat your subordinates like brothers, not act high and mighty. Secondly, while I agree with the service industry’s principle that the customer is king, when faced with unreasonable customers, if you’re blaming your own team instead of defending them, it will dishearten your colleagues and embolden those unreasonable customers. How can we continue our work like this?"

Initially, everyone thought Ye Chen would reprimand Zhang Tao as a boss, just like Zhang Tao scolded Guo Cheng. But to everyone’s surprise, Ye Chen spoke with such eloquence.

Before Zhao Ming arrived, he assumed the new boss was just another clueless rich kid. However, after hearing Ye Chen’s words, he couldn’t help but admire the young man in front of him.
