Chen Ze pulled up a chair and sat down, asking, "Tell me, who sent you? Was it Ele.me?"
"Boss, I don't know what you're talking about. I'm just like everyone else; I was tricked into coming here."
Chen Ze stared at him coldly: "You're not telling the truth, are you?"
He turned to Zhao Youde and ordered, "Take everything off his body."
A short while later, the dark-faced man took everything out of his pockets and placed it in front of Chen Ze. He picked up the man's wallet and looked through it, finding that there was more than 5,000 yuan in cash, as well as bank cards, an ID card, and several business cards.
"You're a food delivery rider, why do you need to carry so much cash with you every time you deliver food? I bet it's a kickback from someone, right?"
Upon hearing this, the man panicked and hurriedly explained, "Boss, this really is my own money. I usually like to carry cash for peace of mind."
Chen Ze snorted coldly: "Do you think I'd believe that?" He then pulled out the ID card, glanced at it, and gave an order to the staff behind him:
"Block this Panda Takeout account named Yan Rulong, blacklist his name, and prohibit him from opening an account on our Panda Takeout platform in the future."
"Okay, boss, I'll arrange it right away."
The dark-faced man was disdainful of Panda Delivery's account suspension, thinking to himself: "You've suspended my account, but I'll just work for Ele.me instead."
Chen Ze shouted at the dark-faced man, "Get lost! I want to punch you just looking at your dark face."
The man gathered his belongings, got up from the ground, and disappeared in a flash, faster than a rabbit.
Upon returning to the company, Chen Ze immediately instructed Wang Kaicheng to issue a public notice stating that any rider found deliberately stirring up trouble or leading disturbances would have their accounts banned and their names blacklisted, never to be hired again.
Just half an hour after the announcement was made, all the protesters across the country dispersed instantly, and the incident quickly subsided.
After resolving the issues with Panda Delivery Company, he went upstairs to check on Xiao Ke'er, pushing open the office door and walking straight in.
Seeing my lovely friend today wearing a light blue autumn dress, sitting very elegantly in an office chair, her light makeup highlighting her young and fair skin, her big black eyes bright and piercing, and her long, shiny black hair, she exudes an elegant and noble aura.
"Chen Ze, you've come to see me."
"I just happened to be at the company and wanted to see my little darling. What are you busy with today?"
The little cutie pouted and said angrily, "I didn't do anything. I was going to invest in a pharmaceutical company today, but as soon as I stepped out of the building, I found that there were people all over the place. They surrounded the whole building, which scared me so much that I ran back immediately."
Chen Ze chuckled and joked, "Those wretched commoners dared to frighten my beloved concubine. I'll send them to build the Great Wall later."
The little cutie stepped forward and hugged his waist, saying coquettishly, "I don't want to be a royal concubine, I want to be your empress."
Chen Ze kissed her forehead and smiled, "Okay, my little cutie, be my queen. Let's go eat. We'll be off work in a few minutes."
"Um."
After leaving the company, Chen Ze took Xiao Ke'ai to a French restaurant, where they chose a window seat.
A waiter came over and said, "Hello, what would you two like to eat?"
The little cutie picked up the menu and read aloud as she looked at it: "Two servings of French foie gras, two steaks, a fruit salad, and a bottle of Lafite red wine."
The waiter quickly jotted down the menu items on a piece of paper: "How well-done would you like your steak cooked?"
"It should be cooked to medium-rare."
The waiter bowed slightly and then turned to prepare the dishes.
Chen Ze looked at the little cutie tenderly and said softly, "Today's meal is a proper reward for my Empress."
The little cutie chuckled and said, "Chen Ze, that guy from Hongwang Investment Group came to the company to see me again yesterday. He even showed me the information about the companies they've invested in. They really have invested in several companies, but I didn't agree to let them handle it last time when you asked me to."
Chen Ze earnestly instructed her: "Little cutie, no matter how many companies they have invested in, if you want to invest in them, you must investigate whether those companies are developing in a healthy way. In reality, some people use some real businesses to illegally attract investment, which is called illegal fundraising in law."
"Once they've raised enough money to reach a certain level, they'll immediately run away with the money and go abroad, leaving you with nowhere to seek redress."
The little cutie nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.
Many people in later generations were deceived by this kind of illegal fundraising. These swindlers succeeded frequently by taking advantage of people's greed, and then fled abroad. The deceived could only swallow the bitter fruit of their greed.
Before long, the waiters brought the dishes to the table one after another.
"Sir, madam, please enjoy your meal."
After the waiter finished speaking, he turned and left.
The two began to enjoy the food on the table. The little cutie ate slowly and elegantly. At home, she had been trained by her family in various manners since she was a child, including sitting posture, walking posture, standing posture, eating manners, polite language and many other details.
The two of them ate for half an hour.
Just then, a middle-aged man passing by came up and greeted him: "Mr. Wang, you're eating here too? What a coincidence!"
The visitor was Lian Peng, the business manager of Hongwang Investment. He was from Yubei and had been imprisoned for selling counterfeit drugs in his early years. After his release, he never did anything legitimate.
Wang Siyu said coldly, "It is indeed a coincidence."
He didn't care about Wang Siyu's indifference. Lian Peng smiled and said, "President Wang, what have you thought about the investment we talked about last time? We also showed you our company's documents. Our group now owns several excellent industries."
Chen Ze interjected, "Manager Lian, what kind of businesses does your group operate in?"
"Boss, our group operates in real estate, amusement parks, hotels, food, and paper industries. This must be Ms. Wang's boyfriend, right? He's really handsome. You and Ms. Wang are a perfect match."
"You have a good eye for investment. I'm thinking of investing in you, but I don't know what the rate of return you offer is?"
Upon hearing that Chen Ze was willing to invest, Lian Peng's eyes lit up. He thought to himself, "This is promising. The fish has taken the bait. I just don't know if it's a small fish or a big fish. Considering how grand Wang Siyu's office is decorated, she must be a big fish."
So Lian Peng eagerly said, "Boss, we offer a 5% rebate every month for amounts under 10,000, a 10% rebate for amounts between 100,000 and 500,000, a 15% rebate for amounts between 500,000 and 1 million, and a 30% rebate for amounts between 2 million and 10 million. We will provide rebates every month without fail."
Wang Siyu had heard him say this twice, so she wasn't very surprised and just watched Lian Peng perform quietly.
