Rebirth: Starting with Capturing the Goddess Mentor

Chapter 45: In jail?

2 pm.

102 Startup Base.

As soon as Chen Yan pushed open the office door, Kong Zhenbang stood up and excitedly shouted, "Boss, the number of new registrations in Ningbo has exceeded 2000 today!"

"Really?" Chen Yan was also delighted to hear this.

Kong Zhenbang nodded excitedly, "Absolutely true! The data is right here."

As he spoke, he turned the computer screen toward Chen Yan, which clearly displayed the growth curve of software registrations and the exciting number "2002".

The surrounding employees also gathered around, and everyone's face was filled with joy.

After all, only when the company does well can everyone get promoted and receive a raise.

"Don't get too excited yet. Next, we need to press our advantage. The technology department will continue to optimize the software to ensure user retention; the marketing department will increase promotional efforts; and the customer service department will closely monitor user feedback and resolve user issues promptly."

Chen Yan's words served as a timely warning.

Everyone in the office confidently said "Okay".

Only Kong Zhenbang looked a little awkward. He hesitated for a moment before speaking:

"Boss, it seems like the marketing department isn't keeping up. I see that all the part-time jobs on the Ningbo City homepage are already full."

When new users come in, there aren't enough part-time jobs for them to do, so the retention rate will definitely drop.

"Okay, I'll call Wang Tie and ask what's going on."

Chen Yan received the feedback and was about to call Wang Tie when he received a call from his childhood friend Yang Jinquan.

"Yanzi, something terrible has happened! Zhou Yi got into a fight and is now in jail."

"what?"

"Wait here, I'm coming right now."

Chen Yan hung up the phone and immediately took a taxi to Ningbo.

The situation was urgent, and there was simply no time to buy a ticket for the high-speed train.

The driver was all smiles when he received this fare. The two places are 140 kilometers apart, and the metered fare would be at least 500 yuan. He would go home right after delivering this fare.

On the way, Yang Jinquan talked on and on, and Chen Yan roughly understood the ins and outs of the incident.

This is the cause.

Upon arriving in Ningbo, Wang Tie and Zhou Yi began recruiting staff and developing their business.

They have already recruited three business development managers. When Zhou Yi was leading these three managers to the market to talk to clients, they were spotted by a local human resources company.

The company felt that Zhou Yi was stealing their jobs, so they found two thugs wearing gold necklaces and had them follow Zhou Yi and his group around every day.

They deliberately created trouble when Zhou Yi was talking to clients, causing Zhou Yi to fail to close a single deal in the past few days.

Just today, those two thugs smashed a hole in the glass door of Yongcheng's office with an iron ball.

Zhou Yi couldn't hold back any longer and started shoving and fighting with the two thugs. Fortunately, the surrounding crowd pulled them apart in time, preventing serious consequences.

Even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake.

This incident was indeed something Chen Yan had not anticipated.

However, the number of registrations for 【Daily Part-Time Jobs】is skyrocketing. Without part-time jobs to do, it is inevitable that users will not be retained.

That was a complete waste of tens of thousands of dollars a day!
Therefore, this matter must be resolved, and it cannot be delayed; every day of delay will result in huge losses.

It was about a two-hour drive to Ningbo. As Chen Yan watched the scenery rushing past the window, he pondered a way to break the deadlock.

……

Two hours later, at the Yongcheng Police Station.

When Chen Yan arrived, Yang Jinquan and Wang Tie were waiting at the door.

Wang Tie stood there, his posture slightly stiff, his eyes filled with guilt and unease. Yang Jinquan saw Chen Yan slowly approaching and breathed a sigh of relief, as if seeing a savior: "Yanzi, you've finally come."

Where is Zhou Yi?

"They've been inside for quite a while, and they're still taking a statement."

"Yes, it's good that everyone is alright."

After Chen Yan finished speaking, he turned to look at Wang Tie.

"I'm sorry, boss." Wang Tie lowered his head, his voice low and hoarse, not daring to look Chen Yan in the eye.

He knew that he had let his boss down, and as the city manager of Ningbo, he was responsible for what had happened.

Chen Yan patted him on the shoulder: "It's okay, don't blame yourself, it's not your fault. But if such an unexpected situation occurs in the future, you must report to me immediately!"

"Okay, boss. I promise I won't let you down next time."

In reality, most people do the same thing as Wang Tie: when faced with a problem, they first think of taking responsibility themselves, and only seek help from their superiors when they really can't solve it. Otherwise, if you go to your superiors for every little problem, what's the point of having you?

However, he underestimated the seriousness of the situation.

As the old saying goes, destroying someone's livelihood is like killing their parents.

The other party clearly wants to kill you.

A moment later, Zhou Yi came out, accompanied by the two thugs.

One of them had a head of messy yellow hair, like withered grass after a frost, sticking out wildly on his head.

He was wearing a thin black leather jacket, the zipper half-zipped, the collar loosely open, and a gleaming fake gold chain could be vaguely seen around his neck. The chain was dull in color and crudely made, clearly a cheap item from a street stall.

The other thug had long hair, which was haphazardly tied back. He wore a loose black leather studded jacket and a fake gold chain around his neck, which stood out starkly against his dark skin.

The two walked along, cursing and swearing.

"Damn it, what bad luck."

"You little brat, don't let me see you again, or Grandpa will strip you naked and throw you into the street."

"You..." Zhou Yi was about to retort when Chen Yan stopped him.

"Zhou Yi, don't bother with them."

Zhou Yi was slightly surprised to see Chen Yan: "Boss, what brings you here?"

Chen Yan glanced at Zhou Yi, who had several bloodstains on his face and neck, but it was only a little bleeding and far from meeting the criteria for minor injury.

This is why those two thugs were able to come out so easily and brazenly.

Breaking a glass door only costs a few hundred yuan in compensation, and you can just apologize and leave.

"You're already in jail, how could I not come?"

Zhou Yi scratched the back of his head and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, boss, it's my fault for being useless."

"Hey, you're their boss, right?" The blond-haired man walked straight over and pointed at Chen Yan, saying, "Let me tell you, that shop is owned by my brother-in-law. You little brat, do you have the guts to steal my business?"

Seeing this, Zhou Yi and Wang Tie stepped forward, one on each side, to protect Chen Yan in the middle.

Chen Yan put his arm around the two men's shoulders and said, "Alright, don't bother with these two bastards. Let's go back to the company."

As he spoke, Chen Yan pulled the two men and Yang Jinquan into the Mercedes parked at the door.

The blond-haired guy continued to threaten him behind his back: "Damn it, you dare say that again! So what if you drive a beat-up Mercedes?"

"What are you two doing at the police station entrance? Trying to get back in?"

After the police officer on duty came out, the two thugs didn't utter a sound and slunk away.
