How A Ride-Hailing Driver Comes To Dominate The World? [EN]: Chapter 107

## Putting the Entire Neighborhood in Its Place—What’s Wrong with a Ride-Hailing Driver Having Some Money?

Weekends meant more people were out and about.

Yang Chen woke up early and picked up several passengers, enjoying the increased demand.

Around nine o’clock, Yang Chen received a ride request to the Children’s Palace.

He arrived at the entrance of the residential area and picked up the passenger: a mother with a pair of twins.

Yang Chen started the ride as usual. “Welcome to BEEP ride-hailing. Please fasten your seat belts. We’re going to the Children’s Palace.”

Yang Chen started the car and turned right into the temporary lane.

The female passenger immediately protested, “Driver, don’t go this way! It’s a detour. We should go that way! Turn around now!”

Yang Chen calmly explained, “Hello, this is a one-way street. You can only turn right and then make a U-turn at the traffic lights ahead.”

The female passenger retorted, “I want to go this way. My home is right at the entrance. How could I not know?”

Yang Chen: “But turning left is going against traffic!”

The female passenger: “Everyone in the neighborhood goes this way. I see it every day. How could I not know?”

Yang Chen: “Madam, could we please follow the traffic rules?”

The female passenger: “My children have a class at 9:30, and it’s already 9:10. We’re going to be late!”

Yang Chen: “Madam, you wouldn’t be late if you had left earlier.”

The female passenger: “What do you mean? Everyone in the surrounding neighborhood goes this way. What do you mean by that? Are you deliberately taking a detour just to earn a few extra bucks? You have no shame, do you?”

Yang Chen: “Your children are here. Can you set a good example for them? Are you teaching them to go against traffic and break traffic rules right now?”

The female passenger: “It’s none of your business how I educate my children. Turn around for me right now!”

Yang Chen: “How about we call the traffic police over?”

The female passenger: “Fine! You call the traffic police over right now and see who’s right! Let me tell you, if you delay my children’s class, you’ll compensate me! One class is 200 yuan [approximately $28 USD], two is 400!”

Yang Chen took a deep breath and called the traffic police.

Because the road conditions nearby were known to be problematic, the traffic police were already actively patrolling the area.

Soon, a police car arrived.

The traffic police signaled Yang Chen and the passenger to step out of the car.

Yang Chen gathered his driver’s license, ID card, and other documents and got out of the car.

The female passenger immediately jumped out and began complaining to the traffic police, “Officer, you have to take my side. I’m taking my children to the Children’s Palace for a 9:30 class. We’re already short on time, but he’s taking me on a detour. We could have taken a shortcut by turning that way, but he’s deliberately taking a detour to earn a few extra bucks. You must severely punish this kind of black-hearted driver! It’s too much! He doesn’t treat us consumers seriously!”

The traffic police officer’s expression turned weary, and he patiently explained, “Madam, the driver is correct to go this way. Driving on the right is the law. This is a one-way street. You can only turn right, not left. If he turns left, he’s violating traffic rules.”

The female passenger: “How is that possible? The cars in our surrounding neighborhood all turn that way. Why aren’t they violating traffic rules, but he is?”

The traffic police officer looked surprised and asked, “Is that so? Just this neighborhood?”

The female passenger: “Yes! Just this neighborhood!”

Another traffic police officer checked Yang Chen’s documents and confirmed that everything was in order.

The traffic police said,

“Driver, you did the right thing. Don’t worry.”

Yang Chen nodded.

The female passenger: “Why is he right? He deliberately took a detour to rip me off. How is that right? Look, look, aren’t they turning left? I told you everyone turns left.”

The traffic police smiled, recognizing the situation. Time to work.

“Beep beep!”

The traffic police blew his whistle, and the two cars in front that were going against traffic by turning left immediately stopped.

Yang Chen smiled mischievously and asked, “Madam, do you want to watch the fun?”

The female passenger: “Since I’m delayed today, I won’t go to the class. But you must compensate me for my losses today.”

Yang Chen: “Sure! As long as the traffic police say it’s my responsibility, I’ll immediately compensate you ten times the amount.”

The female passenger angrily pulled her children aside and grumbled.

The people in those two cars were furious.

The drivers quickly told the traffic police that it was the first time they had gone this way and not to listen to her nonsense.

The traffic police said with a smile, “Whether it’s the first time you’ve gone this way is something you know in your hearts. I’ll let you sort it out amongst yourselves, and I’ll check the surveillance at the entrance of the neighborhood.”

Another traffic police officer nodded and issued tickets to the two cars.

The two drivers glared at the female passenger.

The female passenger realized she had caused trouble and said with a guilty conscience, “Everyone usually goes this way! I wasn’t lying.”

Driver 1: “Ugh, can you just stop talking?”

Driver 2: “Are you really stupid or just pretending? Don’t you know what’s going on?”

The female passenger: “Everyone turns left. I just thought it was okay.”

Driver 1: “That’s because there were no traffic police catching us, so everyone went this way. But that doesn’t mean it’s right. Is there something wrong with your brain?”

Driver 2: “You’re done for! The traffic police are going to check the surveillance at the entrance of the neighborhood. The cars in the entire neighborhood will be affected by you. Just wait for everyone to come to your door to give you what for.”

The female passenger’s face changed drastically, and she instantly lost her temper.

Yang Chen smiled and asked, “Madam, do you still want to go to the Children’s Palace now?”

The female passenger looked defeated, completely losing the confidence she had when she was being unreasonable.

“Go where? I’m not going! But don’t be smug. I will give you a bad review!” the female passenger said angrily.

“It’s okay, give it. It doesn’t matter if I get a bad review. It won’t be good for you if you offend the entire neighborhood. Go apologize to every household,” Yang Chen said with a smile, then turned and left.

The female passenger was livid. Her expression was extremely ugly.

Yang Chen got in the car and left to continue taking orders.

As expected, the female passenger was very angry. Yang Chen received a bad review not long after he drove away.

“Black-hearted driver, deliberately took a detour to earn more money, didn’t take me to my destination, and still charged me 5 yuan [approximately $0.70 USD]. Garbage platform, garbage driver!”

At that moment, the system issued a notification.

“Congratulations, Master, for receiving a bad review. The system rewards you with a gold-medal female secretary. [Click to view the female secretary’s information]”

The system is awesome. Just last night, Yang Chen had idly thought about going to the talent market to recruit a personal butler, and now the system was rewarding him with a gold-medal female secretary.

Yang Chen quickly clicked to view the female secretary’s information in his mind.

Note:

1. Loyalty is expressed in numbers, from 0-100. The smaller the number, the lower the loyalty. The larger the number, the higher the loyalty.

2. Yu Shishi’s initial loyalty to the master is 50, which means she has a 50% chance of being poached.

3. Loyalty values can increase or decrease. Increase means she is more loyal to the master. Decrease means her loyalty to the master weakens. When the number grows to 100, it means she is forever loyal to the master. When the number decreases to 0, it means she has no goodwill towards the master.

4. As long as the master makes Yu Shishi feel admiration, the loyalty value will automatically rise. Conversely, if the master disappoints Yu Shishi, the loyalty value will automatically decrease. When the value reaches 100 or 0, the loyalty value will no longer change.

5. Only when the loyalty value reaches 100 will she always be loyal to the master and be the most reliable.
