How A Ride-Hailing Driver Comes To Dominate The World? [EN]: Chapter 143

Yang Chen tapped Li Yanyun on the head, and she immediately looked up at him with drunken eyes, asking, “What?”

“Everyone is watching you,” Yang Chen reminded her.

Li Yanyun sat up straight, looked around, and then asked with a smile, “Why are you all looking at me?”

Then she stood up, preparing to go to the restroom.

“Li Yanyun!” Zhou Bin shouted angrily.

Li Yanyun stopped and turned to look at Zhou Bin, who was walking over aggressively.

Li Lianxiong was worried that Zhou Bin would impulsively hit Li Yanyun, so he quickly stepped in front of her and scolded, “Weren’t you going to the restroom? What are you doing here?”

Li Yanyun seemed to sober up a bit and said, “I’m going. Why did Zhou Bin call me? Help me deal with him; I can’t hold it anymore.”

“You’re a girl; speak more politely. Just say you’re going to the restroom. Why say you can’t hold it anymore?” Li Lianxiong said helplessly.

Zhou Bin came closer, and Li Lianxiong quickly blocked him, whispering, “Everyone is watching; calm down.”

Li Yanyun turned and went to the restroom.

Zhou Bin’s father, Zhou Hai, came to the side and asked, “Director Li, is it really okay for you to play us, father and son, like this?”

Li Lianxiong quickly replied, “Director Zhou, you’ve misunderstood. How could I play you? To tell you the truth, to facilitate the good relationship between Yanyun and Xiao Bin, I gave this kid 500,000 [currency unspecified, but assumed to be a significant amount] to leave Yanyun and even found a girl to act and make Yanyun jealous. It was all successful, but this kid just wouldn’t leave, which is why this accident happened.”

Zhou Bin was shocked and said, “You gave him 500,000 to leave Yanyun? And I gave him 300,000 to leave Yanyun. Damn, you’re really shady, making money from both sides! Even a broker isn’t as shady as you!”

“There’s no way around it. One of you is the chairman of the company, and the other is a rich second generation, insisting on giving me money. I couldn’t refuse. Especially you, Zhou Bin, you surrounded me with six cars. How could I refuse the 300,000 check you gave me to leave Li Yanyun? Everyone, judge fairly, if you were surrounded by six cars and Zhou Bin gave you a 300,000 check to leave Li Yanyun, would you dare to refuse?” Yang Chen said with a smile.

The guests immediately responded enthusiastically.

“I definitely wouldn’t dare! Don’t even mention six cars; even if six people surrounded me, I wouldn’t dare to refuse.”

“Haha… If it were me, I wouldn’t even need six cars or six people to surround me. If he gave me 300,000, I’d take the money and leave.”

“Haha…”

…

At this moment, Li Yanyun returned.

Hearing everyone talking about money, she immediately asked, “Dad, Zhou Bin, what’s going on?”

Li Lianxiong was embarrassed to speak, but Zhou Bin didn’t have so many concerns and said, “This kid took 500,000 from your dad and 300,000 from me, promising to leave you and find a woman to put on a show for you. But he took the money and didn’t finish the job; it’s really hateful. Can you see the true colors of someone who would leave you for money?”

Li Yanyun looked at Yang Chen with a serious face and slowly walked up to him.

Zhou Bin revealed a gloating smile, thinking, “Hit him! Slap him! A trashy taxi driver dares to have ideas about this level of rich beauty; what a toad trying to eat swan meat [an idiom for someone reaching far above their station], just daydreaming!”

“You really took 500,000 from my dad and 300,000 from Zhou Bin, and found that woman to put on a show for me?” Li Yanyun asked with a straight face.

There was nothing to deny; Yang Chen nodded and said, “Yes! They gave it to me voluntarily; I didn’t ask for it, and it’s not illegal, so why wouldn’t I take it? I have no relationship with you, so why wouldn’t I earn 800,000 by cooperating with them to put on a show for you?”

Li Yanyun pouted and looked at Yang Chen. After a few seconds, her expression suddenly bloomed, and she laughed and hugged Yang Chen’s waist, saying, “That’s great! Then you have money now; you’re not a poor bum anymore! Although it’s not much, it’s enough for us to date. Now you’re already a perfect man; let’s start this relationship right away.”

“Ah?” The whole scene was in an uproar.

This plot is getting more and more ridiculous.

Everyone thought Li Yanyun would be angry because Yang Chen took the money to leave her and would at least slap him.

But what happened?

She actually wants to use the money Yang Chen received as their love fund!

Why is this girl’s brain circuit different from everyone else’s?

Utter humiliation!

Utter humiliation!

Zhou Bin felt his dignity being trampled underfoot by Yang Chen and Li Yanyun.

Zhou Bin proposed to Li Yanyun, but Li Yanyun wants Yang Chen to use the money he gave as their love fund. Doesn’t that mean Yang Chen and Li Yanyun go to a hotel, and Zhou Bin has to buy condoms and send them over?

Pou Chunhua looked at Yang Chen with admiration, thinking, “No wonder he’s a man who can spend billions to acquire controlling shares in a group. He really has good methods. If I had these methods back then, I wouldn’t have ended up marrying a woman I didn’t like.”

Yang Chen replied awkwardly, “I just came to attend a party; I didn’t even brush my teeth. You’re telling me to start this relationship right away? I can’t accept it.”

Li Lianxiong quickly stepped forward to pull Li Yanyun away, but she held onto Yang Chen’s waist tightly, refusing to go with him.

“Yanyun, don’t be ridiculous! How am I supposed to face people in the future?” Li Lianxiong said angrily.

Li Yanyun quickly replied, “But I don’t like Zhou Bin; why do you have to make me marry him? I finally met a man I like; why would you rather spend money to force him away?”

Zhou Bin quickly said, “He’s just a taxi driver! Is he worthy of you? He would leave you for 800,000; such a man is not worth your love!”

Li Yanyun replied mercilessly, “I think he’s very smart. Since you and my dad voluntarily gave him money, why wouldn’t he take it? As long as he puts on a show for you, he can earn 800,000. It’s such a good gig; I’d want to do it too.”

The onlookers started whispering again.

“What Miss Li said makes sense; I also want to do such an easy job that earns 800,000. Where can I get an introduction?”

“This is more profitable than those celebrities. Earning 800,000 for a few minutes of acting; suddenly, I realize that Xiao Shuang earning 2 million a day is cheap.”

“I didn’t expect the plot in TV dramas to happen in reality. It’s true that art comes from life.”

…

Li Lianxiong and Zhou Bin were speechless by Li Yanyun.

Such a grand scene was created, and they even knelt down to propose. Now that it’s become like this, Zhou Hai and Zhou Bin feel embarrassed.

They’ve lost all face.

Zhou Hai is an elder after all, and if he personally teaches Yang Chen a lesson, it would make him look particularly cheap.

So, he gave his son a meaningful look.

Zhou Bin immediately understood his father’s meaning and immediately stepped forward and said to Yang Chen, “You didn’t get the job done; return the check to me!”

Since it’s been given to Yang Chen, it’s hard to get it back.

Yang Chen smiled and took out the check and put it on the table, saying, “If you have the guts, come and get it yourself.”

Li Yanyun mocked, “Zhou Bin, you voluntarily gave him the money, and now you want it back; you’re too cheap. If you can’t bear to part with the money, why are you showing off?”

Zhou Bin immediately replied, “Why can’t I bear to part with it? He didn’t do the job well; of course, he has to return the money to me.”

Li Yanyun immediately replied, “Who said he didn’t do the job well? He acted very well just now; I really took it seriously, and I even drank too much out of depression. Many guests saw it, right?”

“Yes! That’s right, I saw it!”

“I also saw it; Miss Li really went back to drink alone in embarrassment.”

“Yes, I saw it too.”

…

Zhou Bin glared at those who were heckling, saying, “You all shut up; it’s none of your business, don’t meddle! Thief, I’m not going to waste words with you; return the check, and I won’t make things difficult for you.”

Yang Chen pointed to the check on the table and said, “The check is right here; if you have the guts, take it yourself.”

“Damn! Are you trying to scare me! Am I someone who gets scared!” Zhou Bin roared and reached out to grab the check.

Just as his hand touched the check, Yang Chen, with lightning speed, punched his biceps, causing him to immediately withdraw his arm and step back in pain.

“You’re asking for death! Get him!” Zhou Bin shouted.

The lackeys Zhou Bin brought immediately rushed up to attack.

“Stop!” An angry roar came from behind.

Everyone looked over.

Lianbai Group’s young master, Zhang Huiming, walked over aggressively with his entourage.

Today’s party was hosted by Lianbai Group’s young master, Zhang Huiming, and he invited company bosses, executives, and their families who were associated with Lianbai Group.

So, theoretically speaking, the biggest figure at this party was him.

Zhou Bin is Zhang Huiming’s lackey. Seeing his big brother arrive with people, he instantly became a combat power bodyguard and rushed towards Yang Chen with a bottle of wine.

This is a typical case of a dog relying on its master’s power [an idiom for someone who bullies others based on their connections]. As long as the master is present, even the most cowardly dog dares to bark at outsiders.

Yang Chen stood still. When Zhou Bin rushed in front of him and was about to smash the bottle, he kicked him away at a speed that others couldn’t see clearly, sending him flying back and landing right at Zhang Huiming’s feet.

Zhou Hai quickly rushed over to help his son up, asking with concern, “Son, how do you feel? Are you okay? Should we go to the hospital?”

Zhou Bin said angrily, “What hospital are we going to! I want revenge! Brother Ming, I’ve been beaten; you and the brothers have to avenge me!”

Pou Chunhua wanted to introduce Zhang Huiming to Yang Chen, but when he remembered that Yang Chen had ordered him not to speak without permission, he had to swallow his words back.

At the party he hosted, his own brother was beaten, and Zhang Huiming also felt embarrassed.

“Don’t worry; no one can bully my brother!” Zhang Huiming said with a sharp look.

Then, he led a group of people to surround Yang Chen.

With Yang Chen’s skills, 1 against 6 is like getting a bargain.

Besides, this is the No. 1 banquet hall of the Peninsula Hotel, and Yang Chen has too many ways to deal with it.

Li Yanyun quickly stood in front of Yang Chen and said, “This is our own feud; it has nothing to do with you; don’t interfere.”

Li Lianxiong’s back was sweating. Lianbai Group could acquire ten HiGo No. 1 stores and hold a significant stake. He couldn’t go against their young master.

“Yanyun, don’t talk!” Li Lianxiong reminded her.

Li Yanyun didn’t listen to her father and immediately said to Zhang Huiming, “Zhou Bin attacked first; he deserved to be beaten!”

After all, he is the host of the party, and there are many people on the scene. Zhang Huiming must find an excuse for himself to intervene in the dispute.

“I certainly won’t interfere in your relationship matters. But this kid beat my brother, so I can’t ignore it. Considering that our family has invested in your company, step aside now, and I won’t hold it against you,” Zhang Huiming said with a calm face, showing that he was very confident in himself and believed that he could control everything on the scene.

Li Lianxiong stepped forward and pulled his daughter away, but Li Yanyun refused and stood in front of Yang Chen with her head held high.

At this moment, Yang Chen suddenly didn’t resist her so much.

“Li Yanyun, you are causing trouble for the Li family; do you know that?” Zhang Huiming said with a cold look.

Li Lianxiong quickly said, “Young Master Zhang, I’m sorry; my daughter is spoiled, and her temper is a bit strange. Don’t be offended; I’ll take her away immediately.”

Zhang Huiming sneered and mocked, “Knowing that she’s spoiled, you still don’t educate her properly. Are you waiting for me to educate her for you in the future?”

Zhang Huiming is about the same age as Li Yanyun. He used this tone and attitude to talk to Li Yanyun’s father, which shows that he didn’t take Li Lianxiong seriously and didn’t even bother to pretend, saying whatever he thought.

But Li Lianxiong didn’t dare to say anything harsh to counter Zhang Huiming. In the end, it was all because of the difference in strength.

Seeing her father being ridiculed by Zhang Huiming, Li Yanyun immediately retorted like a half-wit, “Zhang Huiming, what are you pretending for? It’s not your turn to talk about how my dad educates me. Is that how your dad taught you to talk to elders? I don’t think you’ve been taught well either; your dad should also educate you properly.”

“Hiss…” Everyone gasped.

Li Yanyun was spoiled by Li Lianxiong, and she really doesn’t know the immensity of heaven and earth [an idiom for being ignorant of the world].

Her father doesn’t dare to speak loudly to Zhang Huiming, but she dares to be so rude.

Li Lianxiong was frightened and quickly stepped forward to pull Li Yanyun away.

Zhang Huiming’s face turned red with anger, and he said, “Miss Li, you have a lot of courage, much more courage than your dad.”

Li Lianxiong quickly said, “Young Master Zhang, don’t be offended; I apologize to you on her behalf. She’s just a spoiled child; she doesn’t know the immensity of heaven and earth; you are knowledgeable; don’t be like her.”

Zhang Huiming sneered and said, “We’ll talk about the matters between us later. But I can tell you clearly that your daughter humiliated me and my dad, this matter will definitely not be settled so easily.”

“Tch, in broad daylight, who are you trying to scare?” Li Yanyun said disdainfully.

“Stop talking!” Li Lianxiong roared and raised his hand to hit his daughter.

Yang Chen pulled Li Yanyun into his arms, and at that moment, his “boyfriend power” exploded.

Li Yanyun leaned against Yang Chen’s arms with a shy face and said, “Are you also moved by me?”

Yang Chen replied speechlessly, “You’re thinking too much. Director Li, you are Li Yanyun’s father; shouldn’t you stand up and protect her when she’s being bullied? Why do you still want to hit her?”

“Shut up! What qualifications do you have to talk to me as a taxi driver? You can’t even protect yourself, and you dare to teach me a lesson?” Li Lianxiong said angrily.

In his opinion, everything now is thanks to Yang Chen.

If Yang Chen had left the scene with Zhang Jing, these things wouldn’t have happened later.

But Yang Chen stayed to find an opportunity to talk to Li Lianxiong and Zhou Hai about the acquisition, and there was nothing wrong with that.

“You’re really capable! Your daughter is being bullied, and you’re willing to hit your daughter to please the person who’s bullying her in order to protect yourself. I think you are the most failed father in the world, without exception! Oh, no, Zhou Hai is even more trash than you. His son was beaten in front of him, and he doesn’t even have the courage to say a word to me. You two are really a pair of “unfortunate brothers”, and it’s no wonder you’re scheming against each other. You want Zhou Hai’s import and export channels and supply chain, and Zhou Hai wants your family’s online and offline stores. So, you two forced Li Yanyun to marry Zhou Bin, whom she doesn’t like. Zhou Bin is a man, and he will definitely take advantage. You, Li Lianxiong, only have one daughter, and everything will belong to the Zhou family in the future. You think you’re scheming against the Zhou family, but you’ve been scheming against by the Zhou family all along. Fool, so foolish as to sell your daughter to your opponent and then give your family property to your opponent!” Yang Chen scolded mercilessly.

Li Yanyun rolled her eyes at Yang Chen and said, “Hate it, why are you scolding my dad?”

“Let me show you a video, and after watching it, you’ll know whether Li Lianxiong should be scolded or not.” As Yang Chen said, he took out his phone and opened the in-car video for everyone to watch.

This video was the one where Zhou Bin surrounded Yang Chen with six cars and gave him 300,000 to force him to leave Li Yanyun.

These are not the main points; the main point is what Zhou Bin said.

“200,000 is not a small amount. If I were like other rich second generations, I would have directly beaten you to leave; why would I give you money? The main reason is that after our two families get married, her family’s HiGo No. 1 store will eventually fall into my hands. My family does import and export trade, and after the integration of the two families’ resources, it will definitely become the leading import chain store in China. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have given you so much money.”

Zhou Bin was shocked and said, “You secretly filmed! Do you know you’re breaking the law?”

Yang Chen: “I’m a taxi driver; isn’t it normal for there to be surveillance in the car? You kept babbling inside; is it my fault?”

Zhou Bin had nothing to say.

Li Lianxiong hated it so much that his teeth itched, and he said, “Zhou Hai, is this how you teach your son? You want to become in-laws with our family, so this is what you’re planning!”

Seeing that things had been exposed, Zhou Hai felt that there was no need to continue to hide it.

He smiled disdainfully and said, “Each other; don’t think I don’t know what you’re up to. You’ve been trying to get your daughter to marry my son, but you’re just greedy for my family’s import and export channels and supply chain. You’re allowed to scheme against me, but I’m not allowed to scheme against you?”

Li Lianxiong was choked by Zhou Hai’s words and was speechless.

The onlookers were all smiling, and everyone was very satisfied with what they saw.

Li Yanyun was so angry that she cried and said, “You use me as a tool for doing business. It’s fine if others scheme against me, but even my own father is scheming against me. Wuwu…”

Li Yanyun turned her head and cried in Yang Chen’s arms.

The scene was so chaotic that Zhang Huiming didn’t know how to control the situation.

However, his mind quickly cleared up.

The root of all evil lies in this taxi driver.

As long as all the responsibility is pushed onto him, Li Lianxiong and Zhou Hai will be able to step down.

After all, Lianbai Group holds shares in both HiGo No. 1 store and Binhai Import and Export Trading Company at the same time. In the end, they are a family, and Yang Chen is just an outsider.

If targeting Yang Chen can solve their internal conflicts, why not do it?

“You taxi driver are very good at stirring up trouble! In order to get Li Yanyun, you deliberately provoked them to become enemies. Brother, that’s not how things are done; playing tricks is not the behavior of a gentleman,” Zhang Huiming said with a cold face.

Zhou Bin took advantage of the situation and said, “Brother Ming, you’re so right; everything is because of him that led to the current situation. Don’t talk nonsense with him; immediately teach him a lesson.”

Zhang Huiming turned his head and glared at Zhou Bin, saying, “Why don’t you come and talk to him?”

Zhou Bin shook his head in fear and said, “I was wrong, I was wrong. You say it, you say it…”

Zhang Huiming glared at Zhou Bin again, then turned to Yang Chen and said, “Brother, tell me, how should this situation be resolved today? Don’t say I’m bullying you as a taxi driver; as long as you can make the banquet go on harmoniously, I’ll let you go. Otherwise, you’ve ruined my banquet, and I can’t let you go easily! Although I, Zhang Huiming, am not a big shot, I am definitely not a coward who is bullied by a taxi driver and doesn’t dare to resist!”

Yang Chen said with disdain and arrogance, “You are not qualified to talk to me; call your dad Zhang Lianbai over!”

“Hiss…” The guests gasped again.

No wonder Yang Chen can attract Li Yanyun; these two are both ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth.

How dare a mere taxi driver threaten the young master of Lianbai Group?

He probably doesn’t know how arrogant and domineering the rich are in this world!

Not to mention secretly killing someone, even if they openly beat someone to death, it doesn’t necessarily mean anything will happen.

It feels good to talk big for a while, but you’ll regret it later!

Let’s see how he begs for mercy later!
