The richest man started out as a car rental company

Chapter 1 A Sudden Curtain of Light

Yuhang First People's Hospital.

Zhang Chi leaned back on the pillow and stroked the plaster that had just been applied to his left hand.

Opposite him was Xiao Liu, the company's HR person. He looked at Zhang Chi embarrassedly, holding a resignation application form in his hand.

"Brother Zhang, please be considerate of me. This is my third trip. If I fail to complete the mission, the weasel will curse me again."

Zhang Chi exhaled, looked up and said, "I won't make it difficult for you. Leave the form here, and I'll sign it and take a photo for you later."

Seeing that Zhang Chi finally gave in, Xiao Liu nodded excitedly.

While putting down the form, he said, "According to the company's policy, this is a work-related injury. You should know that, right?"

Zhang Chi was stunned for a moment and looked at Xiao Liu with gratitude.

Xiao Liu chuckled, said a few caring and polite words, then said goodbye and left.

A patient next to him saw the man leave, and then he asked curiously, "Xiao Zhang, your company doesn't care about personnel matters. You suffered a work-related injury, and not only did they not send anyone to visit you, but they actually asked you to resign voluntarily?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Chi smiled awkwardly, not knowing how to respond.

Actually, he is not very popular in the company.

After graduation, he found a job that matched his major at the Yuhang branch of Shenzhou Car Rental, which provided him with five insurances and one fund, as well as a canteen and dormitory.

It is reasonable to become a car mechanic after graduating from a mechanical repair major.

Zhang Chi was very satisfied with this job. The only thing he couldn't stand was that some of the company's experienced salesmen always instigated him to cheat customers' money in order to make a little extra money, which made him speechless.

The water in the car rental industry is quite deep. The boss makes money, but ordinary employees don’t really make much.

This has also led to some unspoken rules in the industry.

Many customers rent a car for a self-driving tour, only to find out when they come back that the car is broken here and there. They spent a lot of money on renting the car, and in the end they have to pay a lot of so-called repair fees.

Anyone who has driven a car knows that, apart from the occasional minor scratches, cars are not that fragile.

three days ago.

Just because Zhang Chi refused to go along with an old employee, he was pushed by several people on the other side and stepped on the engine oil on the ground, falling headfirst into the engine cover without the engine, and getting several scratches on his body.

It would have been the end of it, but unfortunately the crane was not able to lift the car, and it fell heavily to the ground. Zhang Chi's left hand got stuck in it, and it was broken.

After the incident, several old employees dispersed.

Zhang Chi met two kind-hearted customers who drove themselves to the hospital, and thus his arm was saved.

It is said that it takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone.

Zhang Chi had been vacant for only three days, and the company hired another repairman on the grounds that the position could not be left vacant.

He was also asked by the HR department to bother him every few days, asking him to submit his resignation application, just to avoid giving Zhang Chi the N+1 compensation.

According to the rules and regulations of Shenzhou Car Rental, he has worked here for 5 years, so it is not excessive for him to receive a 5+1 severance pay.

Even if it is only a basic salary subsidy of more than 2 yuan, it is still a considerable income for Zhang Chi.

Zhang Chi came from an ordinary working-class and peasant family.

My mother works on the farm and does the housework at home, and my father is a plumber at a construction site. His income is generally around 5,000 to 6,000 yuan a month, depending on his work situation. It is mainly unstable, so he can hardly save any money throughout the year.

Moreover, Lao Zhang is a drunkard. He can't sleep without drinking something strong every day, which makes the conditions at home even worse.

Zhang Chi couldn't even afford a car, let alone a house.

He is already 15 years old and has only yuan saved in his card, and that's thanks to the fact that he doesn't smoke, drink, or eat barbecue with his colleagues.

I originally planned to work for another two years and then go back to my hometown to buy a house in the county town. The down payment would be only 10 yuan, and the monthly payment would be 2 yuan, so there would be basically no pressure.

I will use the remaining 10 to set up an auto repair shop. I heard that my hometown is undergoing a major tourism development, and there will definitely be a lot of self-driving tourists going there in the future.

Zhang Chi is not worried about not having a car to repair. Nowadays, every household has a car, and with his car repair skills, it is not difficult for him to earn several thousand yuan a month.

But when he turned around and looked at the resignation letter on the bed, Zhang Chi sighed helplessly.

That's exactly what he said.

The plan can't keep up with the changes.

"Uh, hiss~"

The sudden severe pain in his left arm brought Zhang Chi back to his senses.

Gritting his teeth, Zhang Chi took out his mobile phone and opened the provincial government information app, intending to defend his rights through labor arbitration.

However, before that, I can't stay in the hospital anymore because I really can't afford it.

Zhang Chi has given all his savings to his family. Now he only has seven or eight hundred yuan in his pocket, and he doesn’t know if it is enough to pay for the medical expenses.

As for reimbursement of medical expenses, that also requires a cycle and process.

Wait until the pain in the left hand has subsided a little.

Zhang Chi stood up and packed up the things he had taken, which were actually the cell phone and work ID on the table, as well as a set of greasy clothes.

There's no way. I can't leave the hospital wearing a hospital gown.

No matter how dirty it is, you have to change it.

Seeing this, the patient next door wanted to say something, but after taking one look at Zhang Chi's broken Redmi phone, which he had been using for who knows how long, he gave up.

After changing his clothes, Zhang Chi went to the nurse's desk to ask, only to find out that someone had already paid 2000 yuan for his medical expenses.

"Are they the two women who brought me here before?"

The nurse nodded, continued to type on the keyboard, and asked casually: "Should we return the remaining money?"

Zhang Chi thought for a moment and said, "Go back. Can you give me the other party's contact information?"

The nurse checked and shook her head, "No, only the last name Li was written."

Zhang Chi nodded slightly and planned to ask the company's people to help check it out. Since he was a customer of the company, there must be a record.

After thanking the nurse.

Zhang Chi went out and took a Didi, planning to go back to the dormitory to change his clothes and then talk to the company about compensation.

"Hello, what's the last digit of your number?"

"6807."

Zhang Chi got into the car and was fastening his seat belt when he suddenly felt a more violent vibration in his left hand.

That’s right, it’s not pain, but an emotional fluctuation similar to joy.

Immediately afterwards, a curtain of light appeared before my eyes.

【Battery aging refurbishment (74/68)】

[Right rear taillight replacement (5/68)]

【Whole vehicle polishing and waxing (10/68)】

【In-vehicle system update (2/68)】

Zhang Chi's face changed. He was so frightened by the sudden light curtain that he almost couldn't close his mouth.

Seeing this, the driver frowned and said, "Young man, are you okay?"

Zhang Chi pointed at the light curtain with a look of horror, then looked at the driver.

The driver looked up and suddenly laughed: "Oh, this is the amulet my daughter knitted for me. What do you think? Her craftsmanship is pretty good, isn't it? Haha."

Zhang Chi looked carefully and found that there was a string of colorful and crooked Chinese knots hanging behind the light curtain.

Looking at the driver humming a little tune with a happy face, Zhang Chi got an answer.

Only he can see this light curtain.

"Gulu~"

Zhang Chi swallowed with some difficulty.

Looking at the four options, he tentatively asked the driver, "Master, is the taillight of your car broken?"

The driver hummed "Two Tigers" and replied nonchalantly, "Oh, that. It was scratched by a sanitation worker when I left the house this morning. I think it's not easy for the old man, so I'll just spend some money to fix it later."

Zhang Chi was shocked. He didn't expect it to be true.

"Hey, how do you know?"

"Oh, oh, I just got in the car and took a look."
