Capítulo 695: Chapter 669: The Approach Is Somewhat Ruthless

Although Ye Chen is young, he has the demeanor of a boss and could be described as a promising young talent.

Previously, when Zhao Ming heard there was a new boss coming, and he was very young, Zhao Ming was not convinced, thinking where did this young punk come from.

But now, seeing Ye Chen’s demeanor and behavior, Zhao Ming understood the reason, and the young man in front of him had a certain regal presence.

After hearing this, Zhang Tao also felt ashamed, showing an unpleasant expression on his face.

He knew he was done for this time and really regretted what he did just now.

Ye Chen is right; a manager should not always put on airs but should be as close as brothers with the employees.

In fact, before Zhao Ming became a leader, he was indeed very close to everyone. But ever since he became the deputy general manager, his status changed, and so did his mindset. Gradually, he began to look down on his employees, even distancing himself from the few brothers he had previously.

However, Zhang Tao did not reflect on himself. He felt those people thought he was out of their league.

Hearing Ye Chen’s words today, he really felt so ashamed that he wanted to find a hole to crawl into.

Zhang Tao did not plead with Ye Chen for leniency, because he was too embarrassed to stay any longer.

He walked up to Ye Chen and shamefully said, “Boss, I’m sorry, I know I was wrong. I have really learned a lesson today.”

Then, he went over to the delivery staff, bowed to everyone, and said, “Please forgive my previous actions. I’m sorry, I was wrong and should not have treated you with a bad attitude.”

Everyone looked at Zhang Tao without speaking. They indeed resented this guy in their hearts. Since Zhang Tao took on the leadership role, he would scold and rebuke them as he pleased, without considering their dignity.

After speaking, Zhang Tao turned and walked out of the door.

Ye Chen watched Zhang Tao’s departing figure and thought that this person still had some conscience, unlike those he’d met before who, despite doing wrong, wouldn’t admit it, clinging shamelessly to the company without leaving.

Ye Chen admired people who could recognize and correct their mistakes, so he decided to give Zhang Tao a chance.

Watching his brother-in-law leave, Zhao Ming also showed a difficult expression. He was troubled about how to explain this to his wife tonight.

His wife doted on this brother the most. If she knew that Zhao Ming hadn’t pleaded with the boss for her brother, resulting in his resignation, Zhao Ming would surely have a tough night.

However, even if he had pleaded with Ye Chen, Zhao Ming knew it wouldn’t have helped since his brother-in-law had committed a serious offense.

He might even get implicated by his brother-in-law and lose his position.

Zhao Ming was pondering when Ye Chen’s words suddenly brought him back.

“Manager Zhao, call Manager Zhang immediately and tell him to come back to work tomorrow. If he performs well within three months, he can continue working here, otherwise, let him go,” Ye Chen said indifferently.

Zhao Ming had been worrying about how to explain to his wife at night, but after hearing Ye Chen’s words, the clouds of worry in his heart cleared away.

“Okay, boss, I’ll call him in a while,” Zhao Ming quickly said.

“Alright, you guys be busy. I still have to deliver packages,” Ye Chen said indifferently.

Zhao Ming initially thought the boss wore a delivery uniform to hide his identity and secretly inspect, not expecting Ye Chen to actually go deliver packages.

But hearing Ye Chen say this, he felt a bit guilty. Here was someone who owned a delivery company yet worked so diligently, while he was quite satisfied just being a general manager.

After seeing Ye Chen leave, Zhao Ming quickly took out his phone and called his brother-in-law.

Walking dejectedly along the road, Zhang Tao heard his phone ring, glanced at the number, and it turned out to be his brother-in-law calling.

Zhang Tao didn’t need to think to know that his brother-in-law calling him must be to scold him.

Zhao Ming called several times but Zhang Tao didn’t pick up, wondering what the kid was doing.

Hearing the phone ring nonstop, Zhang Tao reluctantly pressed the answer button, and no reprimand came from the other end.

“Zhang Tao, the boss says he’s giving you a chance, telling you to come back to work at the company tomorrow,” Zhao Ming said.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Tao thought he was dreaming, pinched his face with his hand, and ouch, it really hurt.

Hearing the ouch from the other end, Zhao Ming asked suspiciously, “Did you hear what I said? What exactly are you doing?”

From the pain he just felt, Zhang Tao knew it was real, quickly saying, “Brother-in-law, the boss actually allowed me to continue working tomorrow, is this true?”

“Why would I lie to you? But there’s a probationary period of three months, if you’re not qualified, you’ll still have to leave,” Zhao Ming explained exactly what Ye Chen said to Zhang Tao.

“Okay, I will definitely perform well, and I will not let down the boss’s trust in me,” Zhang Tao said, tears of gratitude streaming down his face.

He originally thought he was going to be fired with no chance of reconciliation, but unexpectedly, Ye Chen still gave him an opportunity. Zhang Tao swore in his heart to work hard.

After leaving the delivery company, Ye Chen drove the Cullinan to the entrance of a residential area.

According to the contact information on the package, he dialed a number.

From the phone came the message “The user you dialed is temporarily unavailable, please try again later.”

He made several calls in a row, but no one answered, so Ye Chen decided to make one last call.

At that moment, a very impatient voice answered on the other end: “Who are you, calling endlessly? Don’t you know I’m busy?”

Ye Chen was not angered by the man’s attitude and said calmly, “Mr. Zhou, your package has arrived. The security won’t let me in, so could you please come out to pick it up? I’m right at the entrance of the residential area.”

“I’m busy right now, wait for me another ten minutes.” After saying that, the call ended.

Ye Chen didn’t call again but instead took out a loudspeaker he had prepared in advance and shouted, “Mr. Zhou of Building 2, Apartment 708, the inflatable doll you just purchased has arrived. Please come to the entrance of the residential area to pick it up.”

He shouted three times in a row, and the nearby security guard stared at him in disbelief, thinking this courier’s method was really ruthless.

One by one, small heads popped out of the windows of the residential area, all wanting to see what was happening downstairs.

Then, a man wrapped tightly like a “mummy” slowly walked over.

The “mummy” angrily looked at Ye Chen and said, “Hurry up and give me my stuff.”

Ye Chen looked at the “mummy” and said, “Wow, I actually guessed it right, that’s incredible. Mr. Zhou, you really ordered an inflatable doll.”

The “mummy”: “…”

He didn’t expect to confess without being confronted, it was really embarrassing.

After receiving the package from Ye Chen, he hurriedly left in a hurry.

Ye Chen watched the “mummy” leave and did not forget to shout, “If you think the service is good, remember to leave a Five-Star Review.”
