How A Ride-Hailing Driver Comes To Dominate The World? [EN]: Chapter 154

Impossible, How Could Yang Chen Be a CEO? What’s Wrong With a Ride-Hailing Driver Having Some Money?

If he directly showed off to Yang Chen, that would be too low-level and too deliberate, which would only cause everyone’s resentment.

Therefore, although Chen Liang was overjoyed, he didn’t show it.

People who have entered society are more realistic, and avoiding harm and pursuing profit is their instinct.

Chen Liang is the vice president of a financial company, and Yang Chen is just a ride-hailing driver. Who should they please? It’s obvious, right?

Especially Zhou Yu, Zhang Yunyun, and Liang Zhentao, who also graduated with a degree in finance, couldn’t wait to cozy up to Chen Liang, hoping that they could also work at Shengjin Investment Bank in the future.

They have all been working for more than a year and have the ability to read people’s expressions.

They could all see that Chen Liang organized this gathering not for a friendly reunion, but to avenge the four times he lost to Yang Chen back in the day.

Zhou Yu: “Brother Chen, why did you become a ride-hailing driver? You were a top student who graduated from a prestigious finance and economics university. You shouldn’t be driving a ride-hailing car.”

Liang Zhentao: “It’s a pity you studied marketing. If you had also studied finance, Brother Liang might have been able to get you a job in an office building.”

Zhang Yunyun: “Alas… it’s just that Brother Chen was our role model and the person we all looked up to in school. Now the gap is too big, it’s so different from what we imagined for him.”

Yang Chen said with a smile: “I think being a ride-hailing driver is pretty good. No 996 [working from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., 6 days a week], no need to work overtime for performance, or to suck up to superiors and customers. I can drive whenever I want, and I can rest whenever I don’t want to. It’s much more comfortable than what you guys do.”

Chen Liang: “Well, Brother Chen is right. Okay, my secretary is here. She should have arranged the private room. Let’s go have a cup of tea and catch up.”

At this moment, a beautiful woman wearing a hip-hugging short skirt and black-rimmed glasses walked over.

She gave people a coquettish feeling. As the saying goes, the fastest thing in the sky is a plane, and the most flirtatious thing on the ground is eyes, which is exactly her.

Isn’t it said that the president’s daughter is Chen Liang’s girlfriend?

Then how could the president arrange such a flirtatious female secretary for him?

Isn’t she afraid that her daughter will be cheated on?

Liang Zhentao and the others looked at the secretary with glazed-over eyes, probably because it was the first time they had seen such a beautiful and seductive female secretary.

Secretary: “Vice President Chen, I have arranged everything. We can go over now.”

Chen Liang: “Okay. Everyone, let’s go to the private room to cool off.”

Yang Chen could guess what the scene would be like after entering the private room. It must be a group of people fawning over Chen Liang. What’s the point of that?

This was also Yang Chen’s first time at Jinshan Resort, so why not take the opportunity to check it out?

“Then you guys go to the private room. This is my first time here, so I’ll go around and explore first. It’ll be too hot to come out and play later,” Yang Chen said.

Chen Liang: “Well, Brother Chen is more thoughtful. Then we’ll go to the private room first. Let’s see what activities we can do now. As long as everyone has fun today, I’ll cover all the expenses.”

“Brother Liang is generous!”

“Brother Liang is the best!”

“Thank you, Brother Liang!”

Listening to everyone calling him Brother Liang, Chen Liang felt extremely pleased.

You know, this used to be Yang Chen’s title, and everyone used to call him Brother Chen.

In order to attract tourists, Jinshan Resort has almost been built into a small amusement park.

Except for roller coasters and other overly thrilling rides, there are things like boating, fishing, horseback riding, and archery.

Moreover, tourists can choose to exchange 3 fish for 1 to be cooked and eaten.

That is, tourists hand over 3 fish they catch to the resort, and the resort will cook one of them for free.

Therefore, this place also attracts many anglers [people who fish with a rod and line].

It’s actually quite nice to invite three or five friends to come over for fishing and have a meal here at noon.

Compared to Sheshan Resort, Yang Chen is much more satisfied with Jinshan Resort, which shows that the manager of Jinshan Resort has indeed put in the effort to think of ways to attract tourists.

Liang Zhentao: “Do we want to go fishing? If we catch three, we can choose one to be cooked for us to eat. I think it’s quite interesting.”

Chen Liang looked at the fish that others had caught, then shook his head and said, “No. If you want to eat fish, I’ll call and order from Qiandao Lake [Thousand Island Lake] now. It’s not far from Qiandao Lake, and it can be delivered within two hours, which won’t delay our lunch. Let’s have a whole fish feast, chopped pepper fish head, bighead carp from Qiandao Lake. One fish head can weigh dozens of pounds. I’ll treat you all to try it today.”

“Qiandao Lake organic fish is very famous.”

“The fish there is very expensive. An ordinary fish costs hundreds of yuan, and a big fish with a fish head weighing dozens of pounds must cost thousands of yuan, right?”

“Brother Liang, you’re so great, I admire you, I love you.”

……

Chen Liang smiled slightly, waved his hand, and said, “Why are you saying these things between us? We are all brothers and sisters, don’t be so polite.”

Everyone praised him again, which made Chen Liang extremely satisfied.

Only Zhang Yang was unhappy because the Chen that he had in mind was much weaker than he had imagined, which somewhat shattered his faith.

Yang Chen ignored them and focused his attention on the fishing haul of a man next to him.

This man seemed to be very skilled, and his haul had the most fish.

“Brother Chen, what are you looking at? Do you also want to fish? It’s okay, you can rent fishing gear if you want to fish, and I’ll cover the expenses. Today, everyone just remember one thing: eat well and have fun, and leave the rest to me,” Chen Liang said with a smile.

“Brother Liang is awesome!”

“Brother Liang, I love you!”

……

Yang Chen was speechless. Can’t they change the lines?

They kept repeating these few sentences. They weren’t tired of saying it, but Yang Chen was tired of listening.

Yang Chen said with a smile: “No, my fishing skills are not good. I generally don’t try things that I don’t know how to do. I just watch the people who know how to do it perform.”

Chen Liang: “You have to learn if you don’t know how, and you have to try if you don’t know how. In this life, you must dare to try. Only by daring to try can you succeed.”

Liang Zhentao and the others flattered him again.

“Brother Liang is so philosophical!”

“Brother Liang has realized the true meaning of life!”

“It would be great if we could learn more from Brother Liang in the future, we also want to improve.”

……

At this time, Yu Shishi called.

Yang Chen walked to the shade of a tree and answered the phone.

Yang Chen: “Hello, Shishi, what’s the matter?”

Yu Shishi: “Mr., Zhang Chunfa just called and said that Shengjin Investment Bank wants to invest in Jinshan Resort, and asked if we are willing to sell some shares. He also said that the president of Shengjin Investment Bank has already gone to Jinshan Resort to inspect, and the investment intention is very strong.”

Yang Chen looked at Chen Liang, who was talking eloquently and non-stop. Isn’t Shengjin Investment Bank the one he works for?

Isn’t this a coincidence?

It’s mainly because Jinshan Resort has mountains and water, convenient transportation, and is accessible in all directions. It belongs to Haicheng, but it is also connected to Jiaxing, Zhejiang. It can attract tourists from the most developed regions of Longguo [China], such as Haicheng, Zhejiang, and Sucheng. As long as it is well managed, it will definitely make money.

Yang Chen: “Did Zhang Chunfa come along?”

Yu Shishi: “Zhang Chunfa is in Sucheng now. He said he would go directly from there. The president of Shengjin Investment Bank has already gone to inspect.”

Yang Chen: “Okay, I got it.”

At this time, in the parking lot.

A Bentley Continental stopped next to Yang Chen’s Phaeton.

A middle-aged woman with a sharp, short haircut got out of the car.

How to describe her?

Let’s put it this way…

the rich woman that netizens often talk about, who didn’t know the value of a rich woman when they were young and mistakenly chased after a pretty girl, is the kind of rich woman that everyone imagines.

This person is Liang Xiuyun, the president of Shengjin Investment Bank’s Haicheng branch, who is also Chen Liang’s immediate boss and the mother of his mixed-race girlfriend.

Liang Xiuyun was stunned when she saw that the license plate number of the Phaeton was ‘Hai’.

“Isn’t this the car of the boss of the Haishang Financial Building where the company is located? I remember Chen Zhichao pointed out this license plate number to me before. I have always wanted to get to know him, and now the opportunity has come. Marry, go to the parking lot management office and ask where the owner of this car has gone and what he looks like,” Liang Xiuyun said.

Secretary Marry nodded and ran to ask the parking lot manager.

The manager shook his head and said, “There are a lot of tourists today, and I don’t know what the owner of the car looks like.”

Arry quickly asked: “Uncle, can you check the surveillance? He is the boss of a very important client’s company. It is rare for us to meet him here, and we want to get to know him and treat him to a good meal. Uncle, please help me.”

Saying that, Arry took out a pack of Huazi [a popular brand of cigarettes in China] and handed it to the uncle.

With Huazi, things are easy to handle.

The uncle immediately said with a smile: “Okay, I’ll check it for you. However, this is against the rules, you can’t tell others.”

Arry nodded and said, “Definitely, definitely, I promise I won’t tell anyone. Thank you, uncle, you are so kind.”

The uncle was extremely happy. He got Huazi and was praised by a beauty, he was very happy.

More than ten minutes later, the uncle found the picture of Yang Chen getting out of the car.

Arry quickly took out her mobile phone to take a picture, thanked him, and ran to show it to Liang Xiuyun.

Liang Xiuyun: “I didn’t expect him to be so young and look so energetic. Arry, look for him according to his appearance, and be sure to find him before lunch. At half past eleven, whether you find him or not, you must come back here to meet me. I’ll stroll around and check it out myself, let’s split up.”

Arry nodded and hurried to find Yang Chen.

“Such a big resort, and so many people, where am I going to find him? The old woman is really good at giving people impossible tasks!” Arry muttered and complained while looking for him.

……

On the other side, Yang Chen and the others boarded a boat and started rowing on the lake.

How could the poor Arry find him?

Yang Chen and Zhang Yang were in the same boat. Seeing that Zhang Yang was always unhappy, Yang Chen asked, “What’s wrong? You’ve been unhappy since you heard that I’m a ride-hailing driver. You don’t look down on me, do you?”

Zhang Yang quickly replied: “No, no, Brother Chen, don’t misunderstand. I don’t look down on you either, I just feel… how should I put it? The first time I saw you in my freshman year, I felt that you were not an ordinary person. Later, after following you for a year, I felt even more that you would definitely have a good future. I have always regarded you as my idol, and I have been following in your footsteps. But suddenly you said that you are just a ride-hailing driver, and I’m not saying that I look down on ride-hailing drivers, it’s just that you shouldn’t be doing this job, and I feel too much of a gap in my heart. It’s like my dad always thought I could get into Fuda [Fudan University], but my score was only enough to get into Shanghai University of Finance and Economics. It can’t be said that he looks down on me, but there is a big gap in my heart, and it’s inevitable that I feel a little uncomfortable.”

The poor little fanboy was sad to find that his idol was not as great as he had imagined.

Yang Chen said with a smile: “I’m very happy that you think so highly of me. However, I don’t think you need to be so pessimistic. There are surprises everywhere in life. Who knows what will happen in the future? Work hard, and just because of your admiration for me, I can arrange a good job for you when you graduate.”

Zhang Yang nodded with a smile and said, “Thank you, Brother Chen. Don’t be angry, I really don’t mean to look down on you. I hope you can understand my explanation just now, and don’t misunderstand me.”

“Haha… I can understand. Cheer up, it’s rare to come out and play, let’s have some fun,” Yang Chen said with a smile.

Zhang Yang nodded and paddled hard.

Yang Chen and Zhang Yang chatted happily, and unknowingly delayed a little time.

Chen Liang and the others had already landed, and they were still slowly rowing in the center of the lake.

At this time, Arry saw Chen Liang on the shore.

“Vice President Chen, what are you doing here?” Arry said in surprise.

Chen Liang turned his head and saw that it was the president’s secretary, so he quickly greeted her.

“Arry, what are you doing here?” Chen Liang asked.

Arry quickly told him the truth.

Chen Liang: “Then where is President Liang?”

Arry: “I don’t know, she said she was going to look around and check the investment value of this resort. I don’t know where she went.”

Since the boss was here, Chen Liang felt that he had to call and say hello.

As soon as he dialed the phone, Liang Xiuyun’s cell phone rang not far away.

Chen Liang hung up the phone and quickly led everyone to greet her.

“President Liang, why didn’t you tell me that you were coming today? If you had told me, I would have come with you today,” Chen Liang said.

Liang Xiuyun replied with a smile: “I also decided to come and see it on the spur of the moment. After all, I have to invest here, so I have to have a general understanding of it.”

“Oh, let me introduce you to President Liang. These are my partners in the student union when I was in college, and there are two classmates who haven’t come up from the lake yet. Everyone, this capable, elegant, and beautiful lady is Ms. Liang Xiuyun, the president of our Shengjin Investment Bank,” Chen Liang said.

Liang Xiuyun smiled and waved to everyone, and everyone quickly greeted her.

Then, Liang Xiuyun said: “Okay, you guys play, I’ll continue to look around.”

“I’ll accompany you,” Chen Liang said.

Liang Xiuyun shook her head and said, “No, you accompany these old classmates. I’ll just take a look myself. Arry, how is your situation?”

Arry shook her head and said, “I haven’t found him.”

Liang Xiuyun: “Then keep looking!”

Arry nodded and ran away to find Yang Chen again.

Chen Liang: “President Liang, who are you looking for? We can help you find him.”

Liang Xiuyun: “No, you guys play.”

After saying that, Liang Xiuyun left.

“President Liang, take your time! Let’s have lunch together!” Chen Liang said.

Liang Xiuyun didn’t turn her head back and said, “We’ll see.”

Liang Xiuyun came here this time to discuss the investment in the resort with Zhang Chunfa. If she was lucky, she could also meet the owner of the Haishang Financial Building. How could she have time to have dinner with Chen Liang and his group?

After a while, Zhang Chunfa arrived, and Liang Xiuyun met him.

Zhang Chunfa: “By the way, I just found out that President Yang, who acquired my company, is also here. I’ll call him. It’s useless for you Shengjin to talk to me about investment. Now you have to talk to President Yang.”

Liang Xiuyun: “Oh? That’s great. Please call him quickly, President Zhang. We can have lunch together and talk slowly.”

Zhang Chunfa called Yang Chen.

Soon, the call was connected.

Zhang Chunfa: “Hello, President Yang, haha… I just called Miss Yu, and she said that you also came to Jinshan Resort, is that right?”

Yang Chen: “Yes, I’m here to relax and experience the service quality of our resort.”

Zhang Chunfa: “Haha… that’s right, that’s right. Then where are you now? I have a client here who wants to meet you.”

Yang Chen: “I’m boating on the lake. I’m about to go ashore.”

Zhang Chunfa: “Okay, okay. Then we’ll wait for you on the shore. Take your time and be careful.”

Hanging up the phone, Zhang Chunfa quickly took Liang Xiuyun to the shore.

Seeing that the boss had returned, Chen Liang and the others quickly went up to greet her.

Liang Xiuyun nodded and said, “Well, you guys wait aside. We are waiting for a very important guest. It’s the weekend today, so you don’t need to ask about official business.”

Chen Liang: “Okay! If you need anything, just let me know.”

Liang Xiuyun nodded.

Chen Liang and the others walked aside.

Not long after, Yang Chen and Zhang Yang rowed over in a small boat.

People who have never rowed a boat before will be very tired the first time they row, and it is easy to lose direction. The two of them were tired and sunburned at the moment, and they didn’t want to move at all, so they let the boat drift to the shore with the lake water.

Chen Liang and the others were waiting anxiously.

“These two are really something, they are lying on the boat, not in a hurry at all.”

“So many of us are waiting, they should be embarrassed.”

“Do you want to urge them?”

“No, Brother Liang, the boss is next to us, it’s not good for us to shout and affect Brother Liang.”

Chen Liang nodded and said, “That’s right, let’s just wait quietly. Let’s see how shameless they are, making so many of us wait on the shore.”

Seeing that Zhang Chunfa was already waiting on the shore, and the woman next to him should be the client he was talking about, Yang Chen cheered up and told Zhang Yang to row harder.

Soon, the boat docked.

Zhou Yu shouted: “You two are really taking your time, making so many of us wait so long.”

Zhang Yang said with a smile: “I’m too tired, I can’t row.”

Zhang Chunfa said with a big smile: “President Yang, you are really in a good mood. Come up, come up. Be careful and take good care of President Yang and his friend.”

The staff rushed up.

Chen Liang and the others next to him were dumbfounded!

What’s the situation?

The boss next to President Liang called Yang Chen President Yang?

How could Yang Chen be a president?

Isn’t he a ride-hailing driver?

Liang Xiuyun laughed happily and said, “He is President Yang that President Zhang was talking about! Oh, it’s such a coincidence! He is the owner of the Haishang Financial Building that I’m looking for.”

Zhang Chunfa: “Is that so? That’s really a coincidence. I didn’t expect President Yang to be the owner of the Haishang Financial Building. He is much more powerful than I thought.”

Chen Liang and the others next to him were dumbfounded again!

What?

Yang Chen is the important guest that President Liang is waiting for?

He is also the owner of the Haishang Financial Building?

How is that possible?

Impossible!

How could a ride-hailing driver have such a big business?

Impossible!

Even if the sky falls today, this can’t be true!
