NOVEL WEB Chapter 5: Chapter 5: Mr. Shang?
The events that had happened in an instant made Shang Yunyun feel somewhat inflated with pride!
But Shang Yunyun knew that such pride would only lead to downfall. He knew he couldn't let himself become complacent.
He gathered all the documents and carefully placed them back in the gift pack. Holding the pack, he returned to the Universal Land.
"System, I'm going out to receive this stuff. Let me calm down first. My heart is racing, my adrenaline is spiking, and I'm even breathing faster. I need to calm down!"
"Host! In the future, you will stand at the peak of the universe. These are just small things right now. You must be composed, steady, and try to become a successful person gradually! I don't want you to be blinded by hatred."
"I understand! People are unsatisfied because they lack so much. And people are happy because they know how to be content, right?"
"Right!"
Shang Yunyun smiled, then returned to his rented apartment. From the gift pack, he took out the property deed and the keys to his villa!
"Buzz buzz! Buzz buzz!"
It was an unfamiliar call!
Shang Yunyun thought for a moment and picked up the phone.
"Hello!"
"Hello, Mr. Shang! This is the Shenhua Capital Rolls-Royce Club. The Rolls-Royce Phantom you ordered is now available. When would you be free for us to deliver the car to you?"
"Oh! Let me think... Tomorrow, I guess! Tomorrow afternoon! The address is in the Capital, Jinlang Tianhua Yipin Villa, No. 13!"
"Alright, Mr. Shang, what time will be convenient for you tomorrow afternoon? Or should I call you again at 12 PM tomorrow?"
"Let's go with 1 PM tomorrow! By the way, do you have someone who can teach me how to drive?"
"Yes, we will have an instructor accompany the delivery. Mr. Shang, we wish you happiness! Goodbye!"
"Goodbye!" The call left Shang Yunyun feeling delighted. As expected, the people at the world's top luxury car club sounded so pleasant, even their voices conveyed warmth!
"Buzz buzz! Buzz buzz!" The phone rang again. Shang Yunyun frowned as he looked at the unfamiliar area code.
After thinking for a moment, he decided to answer the call!
"Hello, who is this?"
"Hello, Master Shang!"
The voice was that of a woman!
"Master... Shang?" This was the first time someone had called him "Master," and Shang Yunyun felt awkward, even a little creeped out!
"Hello, Master Shang! I am Duan Yurou from Shangyue Human Resources. We are thrilled to cooperate with you and serve you! Our butler team is currently in Mo City, and after receiving your order, we will arrive at your residence at 8 PM tonight. Could you please confirm your address?"
"Jinlang Tianhua Yipin Villa, No. 13, Capital!" Shang Yunyun calmly confirmed the address, the same one he had just provided earlier.
"Alright, Master Shang! We'll see you tonight!"
"Alright, see you tonight!" After hanging up, Shang Yunyun quickly got up and placed everything back into the system's storage space. The system had told him that whenever he needed something, he could simply find a private place and retrieve it—saving him trouble!
Grabbing his bank card, Shang Yunyun went downstairs and found a large Shenhua Bank nearby. What he needed to do now was deposit the cheque into his bank account, so he would have the funds to coordinate with the butler team later in the evening!
Just as he was about to queue at the bank, his phone rang again!
Shang Yunyun looked at the caller ID—it was a landline number, and somehow the number seemed familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before!
"Hello!"
"Hello, may I speak to Mr. Shang?"
"Mr. Shang?" Shang Yunyun suddenly realized. This was the office of his former company's chairman, where he had seen this number before!
The chairman of Joint Fit Investment Co. was an older man, skilled in investments but blind when it came to hiring people. A scoundrel like Ma Yongsheng, who had climbed up through eating other people's hard work and relying on connections, had been kept around for years!
"It's me! I'm Mr. Shang. Who's calling?"
"Hello, Mr. Shang! This is Zhu Li, the former chairman of Joint Fit Financial Investment Co.! I just received news that you've acquired my company. I'm not sure about your situation, so I'm calling to check in and also to understand why you suddenly decided to acquire my company?"
"Tomorrow, between 2:30 and 3 PM, I'll be at Joint Fit. We'll talk then, Chairman Zhu."
"Uh! Alright, alright! We'll meet and talk then!~"
The news of Joint Fit Investment Co. being acquired by a mysterious big shot spread fast, and it caused a storm in the company!
Most of the people in the company were either using connections to climb the ranks or buttering up the higher-ups. Ma Yongsheng was a perfect example. The company had remained profitable thanks to two long-term, highly profitable projects that had been sustained over the years.
Shang Yunyun knew all about the company's inner workings, but that could wait until tomorrow. For now, his focus was on depositing the cheque!
He went to the bank counter with the cheque for 10 billion and a regular bank card.
The bank clerk took the cheque and froze when she saw the numbers. She spoke in a low voice:
"Sir, please wait a moment. I don't have the necessary clearance to upgrade your card. I'll call our bank manager to help you with your account."
"Upgrade my card? I've already got an account. I just want to deposit the money."
"Sir, the amount you're depositing is massive. You need a higher-level card for such a large transaction. Please wait!" The clerk said softly and hurried away, clearly excited.
