Our factory relies on this business to support hundreds of people making a living.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Cong was very worried that Ye Chen might withdraw his investment due to dissatisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the investment was withdrawn, the factory would be done for.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen smiled and said, \"Actually, there are no problems with production and procedures, it’s just that the workshop supervisor is a big issue. I hope our employees can be cohesive, but our workshop supervisor abuses his position to oppress employees, which is not what I want to see. I need to provide employees with a warm work environment, so they sincerely work with us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Cong nodded repeatedly: \"Mr. Ye, I understand. In fact, I have heard some rumors, I will rectify this immediately.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Li Cong dialed the workshop supervisor’s phone number.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The workshop supervisor was in the factory scolding another employee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Generally, as long as employees bribed him, he wouldn’t give them trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, some like Wang Long, who didn’t bribe him, he would find fault with for no reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This employee, like Wang Long, did not bribe him due to financial difficulties, so he found an excuse to give him another scolding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, he received a call from the director and immediately put on a flattering expression: \"Director, do you need me for something?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Cong said coldly, \"Come to the office.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, I’ll be right there.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The workshop supervisor glared at the employee and said, \"If you want to stay in my workshop, be smart, or I’ll make sure you can’t stay here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing, the workshop supervisor left triumphantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the workshop supervisor left, the workshop was filled with curses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon arriving at the office, the workshop supervisor knocked on the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come in.\" came the voice of Director Li Cong from inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The workshop supervisor entered the room and froze instantly when he saw Ye Chen: \"What are you doing here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What shocked the workshop supervisor more was seeing the director respectfully pouring water for Ye Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was going on?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Cong’s expression darkened upon seeing the workshop supervisor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Old Chen, I never imagined you’d abuse your power and do whatever you please in the workshop, you’ve really disappointed me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The workshop supervisor’s expression changed with a bit of grievance: \"Director Li, I didn’t.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Didn’t you? You think I’m blind and deaf?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Cong directly slapped him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Which rule in our factory says you can’t talk during work hours, or that talking results in docking a month’s bonus?\" Li Cong asked coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The workshop supervisor’s expression slightly changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, those rules were his own additions, not actual factory regulations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The workshop supervisor glanced at Ye Chen, who was leisurely drinking tea, feeling bitter inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew this time he had messed with someone he shouldn’t have.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Cong said coldly, \"Old Chen, go to the finance office to collect your salary, you’re fired.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The workshop supervisor’s face changed dramatically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Director Li, you can’t fire me. I have both elderly and children to support. If I’m fired, what will I do?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Cong gave a cold snort: \"You think I don’t know you’re keeping a mistress outside? Once you’re fired, you won’t have the money to support her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The workshop supervisor’s face turned red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, he had embezzled quite a bit over the years to support his mistress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he got fired, his financial chain would break, and how could he continue supporting her!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The workshop supervisor looked at Ye Chen and knelt down in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr., I was wrong earlier, I failed to respect you. Please spare me, please beg the director not to fire me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen snorted coldly: \"You brought this upon yourself, didn’t you? Also, this matter has nothing to do with me, it’s the director’s business to decide what to do with you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The workshop supervisor turned pale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He deeply regretted angering Ye Chen from the start.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The workshop supervisor trembled as he left the office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen said to Li Cong: \"Director Li, there’s someone in your factory named Wang Long, he is a very talented designer. You should utilize him well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wang Long?\" Li Cong was taken aback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He used to work at a design institute and is very skilled in mechanical design.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I didn’t know we had such a talent in our factory. I’ll call him over now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Cong made another call to the workshop, and soon Wang Long came through the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Engineer Wang, hello.\" Li Cong warmly shook Wang Long’s hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Long was also stunned by the director’s enthusiasm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen smiled and said: \"Wang Long, would you like to be the chief engineer of our manufacturing plant?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Long stared at Ye Chen, dumbfounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ye Chen, are you joking?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Wang Long’s eyes, Ye Chen was just a DiDi driver, how could he possibly invite him to be the chief engineer?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Cong said, \"Wang Long, Mr. Ye is the investor in this project.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?\" Wang Long was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen smiled and asked, \"Wang Long, if I provide blueprints, can you make what I need?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Long nodded: \"As long as there are blueprints, I can design what’s needed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen took out a USB drive and said, \"This is a reverse design blueprint for my VR technology. Have a look, and I want successful testing within a month, then we’ll go into production.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Long nodded: \"There’s no problem with that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen smiled and said: \"If you complete this task, the salary will match the upper management of the company, with a base salary of two hundred thousand a month, not counting commissions.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?\" Hearing Ye Chen’s words, Wang Long was almost dumbfounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A base salary of two hundred thousand? Right now, Wang Long worked tirelessly and only earned a little over four thousand a month.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen chuckled, \"Work hard, and in the future, not only will your wife’s treatment be covered, but you’ll also live in a big house and drive luxury cars.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Ye, thank you.\" Wang Long was so excited he was about to cry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite having excellent skills, Wang Long had been working at the bottom of society, which was very frustrating for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought his life would be like this forever, but Wang Long never imagined that he would meet Ye Chen, his talent scout!\u003C\u002Fp>",1247,"2026-06-03T08:12:36.328Z","2026-06-03T08:12:40.944Z",1,"novelbin.me","1ad54f4247ed9a8d0f46560981dfc27950aa4d8e7a90b9abad8f14de2cec16b7","starting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-chapter-279","starting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-chapter-277",1261,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-cover.jpg"]
