The Battle of Simps—What’s Wrong With a Didi Driver Having Some Money?
Yang Chen arrived at Room 318, where Xue Yinong was already waiting.
Seeing Yang Chen, Xue Yinong took off her sun-protective clothing.
She was wearing a black dress, which added a touch of solemnity to her already elegant appearance.
“Miss Xue is really giving me face, dressed so beautifully,” Yang Chen said with a smile.
Xue Yinong smiled slightly and said, “It’s my first time accepting an invitation from Mr. Yang, so of course, I have to take it seriously.”
“Miss Xue, you make me feel ashamed. I went out driving in casual clothes and didn’t have time to go home and change into a suit,” Yang Chen said with a smile.
“Mr. Yang has a strong physique and a handsome appearance. Even without dressing up, you are a dragon among men [an exceptional or outstanding person],” Xue Yinong said with a smile.
At this moment, the hotel’s head chef arrived with his assistants.
The assistants also brought their equipment.
With Xue Yinong’s family background, there was basically nothing she hadn’t eaten before.
Therefore, Yang Chen didn’t focus on the dishes but instead worked on the presentation.
Having the head chef cook on the spot is the ultimate dining experience.
Foie gras, caviar, black truffle—all you can eat.
Including the wine and dishes, if a customer ordered normally, this meal would cost at least 300,000 [yuan, approximately $42,000 USD].
After they were full, Yang Chen sent Xue Yinong to her car.
Xue Yinong felt that just based on Yang Chen’s extravagant eating habits, he was definitely not an ordinary person.
The red wine had a strong after-effect, and Yang Chen had drunk a lot, so he felt a bit dizzy. He didn’t go back to driving but called a driver to take him home to sleep.
He woke up and it was almost six o’clock.
Yang Chen opened his phone and saw many missed calls and messages.
Xu Xiaowan, Xia Yurou, Wang Lixin, Wu Tao…
Yang Chen opened the class group and sent a message.
Yang Chen: @All, everyone, sorry, I drank too much at noon and just woke up. Has everyone gone home?
The class group immediately became lively.
Xu Xiaowan: “We’re all back. Take care of yourself, and don’t drive after drinking.”
Xia Yurou: “We had a great time today, thank you, Yang Chen.”
Chen Yuwan: “Brother Chen, I’ll quit my job and drive with you someday. Working is boring.”
…
At this moment, Wu Tao was chatting privately with Wang Lixin.
They were chatting well, but when Wang Lixin saw Yang Chen’s message in the group, she immediately ignored Wu Tao.
Wang Lixin sent a private message to Yang Chen.
“Yang Chen, how are you feeling now? Is your head still spinning?”
“Is there anyone else at your house? If not, I happen to be free now; I can come over and make you some hangover soup. My mom taught me a recipe, it works really well.”
“Why aren’t you saying anything? Are you still feeling unwell?”
“Say something, or I’ll be worried.”
…
Yang Chen didn’t want to reply at first, but she kept sending messages, and the phone kept vibrating, which was annoying.
So, Yang Chen sent a message.
“I’m going to take a shower.”
Wang Lixin was immediately overjoyed, thinking: “Yang Chen is willing to reply to my message, which means he doesn’t hate me! Great, great, as long as he’s willing to reply, I have a chance! I knew I was born to be a rich wife. Hehe…”
So, she quickly sent another message to Yang Chen.
“Okay, okay, go take a shower. Be careful not to slip. If you need anything, just call me. I’m available 24 hours a day.”
Yang Chen replied: “Okay.”
Wang Lixin was overjoyed.
“He’s going to take a shower and still replies to my message, which means he still cares about my feelings. Hehe… I’m pretty and know how to dress up; which man wouldn’t love me? As the saying goes, it’s easy for a woman to pursue a man; as long as I show a little charm and be more proactive, he will definitely fall at my feet.”
Wang Lixin is the epitome of a simp [a person who does too much for someone they like]. Yang Chen only replied with a few perfunctory words, and she could imagine so much.
At this moment, Wu Tao was still sending messages to Wang Lixin.
“Xiaoxin, what are you doing? Why aren’t you replying to my messages?”
“Goddess? Want to go see a movie tonight? My treat.”
“Or I’ll treat you to dinner. Whatever you want to eat, just pick; I’ll definitely satisfy you.”
…
Wu Tao sent more than a dozen messages to himself, and Wang Lixin was annoyed to death.
Mainly, Wu Tao spent more than 8,000 [yuan, approximately $1,100 USD] to show off, hoping to win Wang Lixin over, but he didn’t get anything. He was really unwilling.
But Wang Lixin’s mind was full of Yang Chen, and she didn’t want to pay attention to him at all.
“So annoying! I didn’t reply to so many messages; don’t you understand what that means? How can there be someone as shameless as you!” Wang Lixin cursed.
But she sent so many messages to Yang Chen, and Yang Chen didn’t reply, but she still kept sending them. Why doesn’t she think she’s shameless?
She is really strict with others and lenient with herself.
Although Wu Tao is annoying, Wang Lixin doesn’t plan to break up with him.
A simp like Wu Tao is best suited to be a backup. Just deal with him casually.
“I’m going to take a shower,” Wang Lixin replied.
Hmm? This reply seems familiar?
Wu Tao quickly replied with a “horny” emoji.
“Goddess, go take a shower. I’ll go chat with them in the group first, and I’ll find you when you’re done.”
Wang Lixin rolled her eyes and directly blocked Wu Tao’s messages.
“You toad wants to eat swan meat [an idiom meaning someone is trying to pursue someone far out of their league], it’s ridiculous. I still have to wait for Yang Chen to finish his shower and chat with him; who has the time to pay attention to you,” Wang Lixin muttered.
In the whole class, only Xu Xiaowan and Xia Yurou’s attitude towards Yang Chen was consistent.
They helped Yang Chen speak when they didn’t know he was rich.
They still cared about him when they knew Yang Chen was rich.
As for the others, hehe, they are all dogs. Knowing he is rich, they all come to wag their tails.
Yang Chen replied to Xu Xiaowan and Xia Yurou separately with “Thank you for your concern,” and then quickly got up to cook and eat.
After sleeping all afternoon, he had to go out and drive a few orders at night; otherwise, the day would be wasted.
By the time Yang Chen cooked, ate, and washed the dishes, an hour and a half had passed.
He took another shower, changed his clothes, and it was almost eight o’clock.
“Damn! It’s almost eight o’clock; I have to hurry up and go out to work,” Yang Chen said to himself.
He picked up his phone and saw that Wang Lixin had sent him dozens of messages again.
“Brother Chen, have you finished your shower?”
“Brother Chen, have you eaten?”
“You treated us to dinner at noon; how about I treat you tonight? Whatever you want to eat, just pick; I’ll try my best to satisfy you.”
“Brother Chen, let’s go see a movie tonight.”
…
If Wu Tao saw the messages she sent to Yang Chen, he would cry in the toilet.
Aren’t these the simping words that Wu Tao sent to Wang Lixin?
Wang Lixin just sent them to Yang Chen verbatim?
What a tragedy.
Simps end up with nothing.
Yang Chen was speechless. It’s almost eight o’clock; which decent family doesn’t eat dinner?
Yang Chen was anxious to go out, so he quickly replied with an “Okay.”
Then, he blocked Wang Lixin’s messages and hurried out to work.
