Maya’s capability is truly powerful; she solved the issue with the shipment with just one phone call.
Pu Chunhua quickly called Yang Chen to report that the batch transferred through Jinbai had been successfully shipped to Africa.
Yang Chen, keeping his promise, went to Tangchen Yipin to pick up Maya and settle her in the villa.
Afterward, Yang Chen transferred 500,000 to her account.
Maya was very happy and said, "Chen, remember to find me for jobs like this in the future. I can offer you a discount."
Yang Chen: "Haha... I don’t want to encounter such troublesome things again; it’s too bothersome. Just feel at home here, you don’t need to pay for food and drinks. Use your money to buy some daily necessities or whatever. Also, since making money is a bit tough now, you should spend wisely."
Maya: "Hehe...Thank you, then I won’t hold back and will just stay here. I’ll spend wisely and slowly look for a job to support myself."
With her salary demands, she was guaranteed to find no job.
Yang Chen drove out to pick up passengers, and just after getting off the bridge, he saw Xue Yinong.
Xue Yinong waved her hand, and Yang Chen stopped in front of her.
Xue Yinong: "I have something to tell you."
Yang Chen gestured for her to get in the car.
Xue Yinong got in and said, "The research center’s affairs are sorted out, but the City Government means that all financial and technical difficulties need to be solved by us. They have no more resources for us. The City Government already has projects like a chip research center, and they must allocate funds to those projects, with no leftover funds for us."
Yang Chen: "That’s fine. We don’t need their financial and technical support, just approval to establish the research center."
Xue Yinong: "Did you hire another housekeeper?"
Yang Chen: "You’re talking about Maya, right? No, the goods at Longlian Supermarket were detained at Jinbai. She should be the Little Princess of Jinbai. I asked her to help resolve the shipping issue, and as thanks, I offered her a place to stay here."
Xue Yinong: "The Little Princess of Jinbai? How did she end up here?"
Yang Chen: "She ran away from a marriage! Her family arranged a political marriage for her, asking her to marry a fifty-year-old guy. She simply couldn’t accept it, so she escaped. You know how low their status for women is over there; she couldn’t resist but didn’t want to accept her fate, so she ran away to try her luck."
Xue Yinong nodded. As long as she’s not Yang Chen’s new love interest, it doesn’t matter if she’s a princess or a queen.
Yang Chen had to drive to pick up passengers, so Xue Yinong quickly got out of the car.
With the research base project approved, their joint Hai City Jinjiang Development could begin demolition and construction.
These didn’t require Yang Chen’s direct involvement; he just needed to clarify the requirements and ensure sufficient funding was in place.
Yang Chen, now focused on special passengers, wished he could drive 24 hours a day.
A little past three in the afternoon, the current director of the Minghai Art Gallery, Elder Wang Wangdu, called Yang Chen.
Since Shield Security Group took over the security of the art gallery, Yang Chen appointed Elder Wang Wangdu, who had looked after the gallery for 20 years, as the director, to handle daily management and maintenance.
Yang Chen answered the phone and asked: "Hello, Elder Wang, is there something up?"
Elder Wangdu quickly replied: "Boss, there’s indeed something. First, I need to report that the beast heads have been properly stored in the safe. Then, I need to report something else to the boss: Mani Antiques Art Trading Company from the United States, Faron Art Collection from France, and the British Art Gallery from the Eagle Country wish to jointly hold an antiques and art exhibition at our gallery. Would the boss find this acceptable?"
Isn’t Mani Antiques Art Trading Company Marshall Kennedy’s company?
Yang Chen: "That’s fine. Go ahead and arrange it."
Elder Wangdu: "What collections can we exhibit? We need the little master’s explicit instructions."
Yang Chen: "Since the exhibition is at our art gallery, it’s mainly for Dragon Country people. We can select some secondary porcelain, pottery, metal products from our collection for display. I will make a list for you later when I return, and you can select according to that list."
Elder Wangdu: "Understood. I won’t disturb the boss’s work anymore then."
...
After hanging up the phone, just as Yang Chen wanted to take another order, an old lady accidentally fell next to his car.
In this situation, any driver would instinctively think it might be a scam.
Yang Chen quickly opened his phone to record and got out of the car, asking: "Ma’am, are you okay? I can only earn a little over 5000 yuan a month; can I help you up?"
The old lady quickly held onto the car to stand up, saying: "Young man, don’t get me wrong. I’m not scamming you; I just haven’t eaten all day, and I feel like my legs won’t follow my commands, so I fell."
Yang Chen couldn’t bear such human suffering, so he quickly put away his phone and helped the old lady up, saying: "Why haven’t you eaten? I mean, is there some difficulty you’re facing?"
Old lady: "I’ve come to seek the Legal Assistance Center, but I’ve been looking all day and couldn’t find it. I asked several people along the way, and they said it’s in this area, but I just couldn’t find it."
Yang Chen: "Legal Assistance Center? Do you need assistance with a legal issue?"
The old lady nodded and said, "Yes! I want to hire a lawyer to help me with a case."
Yang Chen nodded and said, "Then come on in the car, and I’ll take you there."
Old lady: "But I need to ask the lawyer about the fees before I can pay for your ride. I heard that hiring lawyers for a case is costly, and I’m saving all my money for the legal fees, so I don’t even want to spend money on food."
