How A Ride-Hailing Driver Comes To Dominate The World? [EN]: Chapter 207

Today’s Wedding Will Not Continue, Everyone Here Is My Enemy—What’s Wrong with a Ride-Hailing Driver Having Some Money? (1)

At that moment, a young and handsome man walked into the hall. This was Zhou Jianbang, the son of Zhou Chenghua, the chairman of Meisi Clothing.

Lin Hongyi stepped forward to greet him. “Young Master Zhou, welcome, welcome. How is your father doing lately?” Zhou Jianbang replied with a smile, “Thank you for your concern, Uncle Lin. My father is doing well. It’s almost the end of the year, and the company has too many things to deal with, so he couldn’t make it. I hope you don’t mind that I came in his place.” Lin Hongyi said, “Haha… Not at all, it’s my honor that you could come. Please, have a seat.” Zhou Jianbang walked over to present his gift and inadvertently saw Yang Chen in the corner.

“Oh, Brother Yang! You’re here too!” Zhou Jianbang said excitedly, and then he walked toward Yang Chen’s table.

Yang Kang’s garment factory does OEM [Original Equipment Manufacturing, where they produce goods for other brands] for brands like Meisi, so when Zhou Jianbang called out “Brother Yang,” he assumed he was being addressed.

Yang Kang puffed out his chest and said to Zhao Feifei with a smile, “This is the young master of Meisi Clothing. Our factory does OEM for them. Watch, he’s coming to greet me.” Zhao Feifei said with a look of admiration, “Honey, you’re awesome.” After speaking, she glanced at Yang Chen with disdain.

Seeing Zhou Jianbang walking to his side, Yang Kang stood up and stretched out his hand to shake hands with him.

“Young Master Zhou…” However, at that moment, Zhou Jianbang bent down and stopped beside Yang Chen, stretching out his hand to shake hands with Yang Chen.

Awkward! Utterly awkward! Yang Kang was completely petrified! This was not only awkward but also very embarrassing!

The guests at the next table were laughing at him. Zhao Feifei looked embarrassed and shocked. What was going on?

Why was Zhou Jianbang so polite to shake hands with Yang Chen but turned a blind eye to Yang Kang, who was cooperating with them?

Yang Chen was also dumbfounded. He carefully looked at Zhou Jianbang and confirmed that he didn’t know him.

“Brother, I’m sorry, do we know each other? I don’t seem to remember,” Yang Chen asked politely.

Zhou Jianbang immediately replied, “That time in Wuyuan, in the Jiading North District, you called in helicopters and armored vehicles. I was one of the onlookers. I’m ashamed… Fortunately, you were generous and didn’t make things difficult for us.” Oh, another second-generation [referring to the children of wealthy or influential people] who was frightened by Yang Chen’s display of power.

Yang Chen nodded with a smile, politely got up and shook hands with Zhou Jianbang, and said, “So that’s how it is. No wonder I didn’t remember. I just heard him say you were calling him, and I thought it had nothing to do with me.” Zhou Jianbang said with a smile, “Is he worthy of me calling him Brother Yang? He should call me Brother Zhou, or Brother Bang. Their factory is just one of a dozen or so OEM factories my company uses. Since ancient times, I’ve only heard that those who pay are the bosses, and I’ve never heard that those who make money are the bosses. Don’t you think so?” Yang Chen: “Haha… That makes sense.” Yang Kang looked embarrassed and said, “Young Master Zhou, long time no see. How have you been lately?” Zhou Jianbang: “Not bad. It’s your honor to sit at the same table with Brother Yang. You must treat him well later. Understand?” Yang Kang: “Yes, yes. Don’t worry, I will definitely take good care of him… Brother… Brother Yang.” Zhou Jianbang: “I’ll go over first, I won’t disturb you playing with your phone.” Yang Chen nodded with a smile, then sat down and continued using his phone.

The atmosphere became awkward. Yang Kang was a little scared, so he gave Zhao Feifei a look, hinting that she should test Yang Chen’s identity.

Before Zhao Feifei could speak, Yang Chen, staring at his phone, said, “Yang Kang, right? What do you think, if I ask Zhou Jianbang to replace your factory, will he do it?” Yang Kang was shocked and quickly poured tea, holding it with both hands, and said, “Brother Yang, I’m sorry, I was ignorant and offended you just now. Please be generous and don’t be so serious with me.” Yang Chen continued to stare at his phone and said, “Okay, you two just sit quietly and nothing will happen. If I hear you two talking again, you will be responsible for the consequences.” Yang Kang quickly put down the cup and replied, “Understood! Understood!” After speaking, Yang Kang sat there like a scolded child, not moving.

In this situation, Zhao Feifei felt very uncomfortable. This impressive man in front of her was once her first love.

But just because she made some poor choices, she lost everything. The old man she dated after Yang Chen was disqualified as a supplier by Yang Chen, and his business went downhill, so she had to break up with him.

She finally found a small boss who runs a big factory, but she still has to rely on Yang Chen’s good graces to survive.

This is really fate! Before she knew it, it was eleven o’clock. The guests had almost arrived, and Lin Hongyi and Chen Xinyi were about to hold the wedding ceremony.

This wedding banquet was not only to celebrate the marriage but also an opportunity for the Lin family to build relationships with important people.

Some of the guests were not even familiar with them, but they were invited through the connections of Xue Yinong and others.

People in high society often have gatherings, and many people don’t know each other, but they chat and exchange business cards, and that’s how they get to know each other.

If there is an opportunity for cooperation in the future, they may think of each other. Therefore, even some people who don’t have a deep relationship with the Lin family are willing to come for the sake of the Xue family and others, hoping to expand their social network.

Before the wedding began, Lin Hongyi first greeted some important guests to show his gratitude and to show off how impressive the Lin family was.

He didn’t introduce the relatives but mainly introduced the distinguished guests. Lin Hongyi came to the first table and said with a smile, “Miss Xue, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to attend my wedding. Let me introduce you, this is Miss Xue Yinong from the Xue family.”

“Wow! She is Xue Yinong!”

“The legendary high-end beauty, an existence that countless people can only dream of.”

“The Lin family is awesome, they have such a good relationship with the Xue family.”

“You don’t know that, do you? The Lin family took the lead and formed a real estate company with the Xue family and several other families, so their relationship is of course good.”… The whole audience applauded, and Xue Yinong got up and smiled, nodding to the guests in response.

Lin Hongyi then introduced: “This is Mr. Li Junhao, Chairman of Donglong Aviation Group.” The whole audience applauded again.

“Wow, even the chairman of Dong航 [Donglong Aviation] is here!”

“Is the Lin family so powerful? They even have a relationship with Dong航, I really underestimated them.”

“Li Junhao is a member of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission [SASAC, a government agency overseeing state-owned enterprises]. Tsk tsk tsk… The Lin family has always been low-key, but I didn’t expect their true strength to be so strong.”

“We should interact more with the Lin family in the future.

Through them, we might be able to get to know other big shots.”… Li Junhao got up, put his hands together in a gesture of respect, and nodded to the guests in response.

Lin Hongyi: “Everyone must know this one, Attorney Zhang Xiang, the legal representative of Zhang Sanfeng Law Firm.”

“Wow! Zhang Xiang is here!”

“The Lin family is okay! They have enough face!”

“Oh my god, everyone, don’t look at Zhang Xiang, in case he gets angry and sends you to prison.”

“The Lin family is really getting powerful! They even invited Zhang Xiang.”… Lin Hongyi: “This is Ms. Liang Xiuyun, President of the Haicheng Branch of Shengjin Investment Bank on Wall Street, USA.”

“Wow, they even have connections with Wall Street investment banks?”

“Tsk tsk tsk… Then it will be much easier for the Lin family to operate calligraphy and painting and other artworks in the future. They can just let the investment bank manipulate the prices and they will go up.”

“Oh, the Lin family’s status in the Haicheng art circle and business circle will greatly increase in the future.”… Liang Xiuyun got up and smiled, nodding to the guests. She also brought Chen Liang with her to let him see the world. Her daughter just likes him, so she wants to train Chen Liang well.

… Although Qiu Tian “crashed” the wedding by accident,

but he is the son of the chairman of the Aegis Security Group. As long as he is introduced, everyone will definitely think that the Lin family also has a deep relationship with Aegis Security.

Since there is a free connection here, of course, we must make good use of it. Lin Hongyi: “This is Qiu Tian, the son of Chairman Qiu of Aegis Security Group.”

“Wow…” There was a cry of exclamation from the audience. The previous big shots were very awesome, but compared with Aegis Security Group, they were a bit inferior.

Aegis Security Group has foreign mercenary business; they are the masters who can go to the battlefield. The other big shots are just rich; this one has soldiers.

Since ancient times, those who control soldiers are more awesome, and the rich are just lambs to be slaughtered.

“The Lin family is really getting powerful; they have such a good relationship with Aegis Security; no one will dare to bully them in the future.”

“This Lin family is really going to take off; they will have a place in the art circle and business circle in the future.”

“The Lin family is still capable; the Lin family has really become stronger in his hands.”… Qiu Tian was very helpless; the Lin family was not worthy of inviting him over at all.

But since he gave a gift and sat down, he would give Lin Hongyi some face. Qiu Tian got up and smiled, nodding to the guests in response.

Lin Hongyi continued to introduce Zhao Jingzhong, Liu Chuanxiong, Tang Shoucheng… Just as some guests said, with these big shots in the art circle and business circle, the Lin family can be regarded as standing tall.

Lin Zhengtian’s mood was slightly better, and a smile appeared on his face. The male guests have been introduced; it’s time for the female guests to be introduced.

Chen Xinyi came from an ordinary background, and she didn’t have any decent relatives and friends. That is, her ex-boyfriends, and Zhao Feifei’s boyfriend can still be brought out.

But she certainly can’t introduce those ex-boyfriends; otherwise, Lin Zhengtian would be pissed off.

Therefore, she can only walk toward Zhao Feifei and introduce her boyfriend Yang Kang.

Isn’t it what the ancestors said that marriage should be well-matched? Look how embarrassing this is? The male guests are all big shots, but the female side doesn’t have any big shots to introduce, so they can only bring out the boyfriend of their best friend to support the scene.

The key is that the boyfriend of the best friend is not good either; what weight does a second-generation brother from a garment factory have? Chen Xinyi said with a smile: “Let me introduce you, this is my good friend Zhao Feifei. The one next to her is her boyfriend, Mr. Yang Kang. Mr. Yang is the owner of Shangpin Garment Factory, specializing in making clothes for brands such as Meisi.” Yang Kang and Zhao Feifei stood up with smiles and bowed to everyone. This is a manifestation of a lack of confidence. The big shots just nod their heads, but they bow very humbly.

The guests’ reactions were also very real. Only the female guests had sparse applause, and the male guests had almost no reaction.

Lin Hongyi suddenly had an idea: why not let Chen Xinyi introduce Yang Chen and let him lose face in front of so many people?

Lin Hongyi gave Chen Xinyi a look, and Chen Xinyi understood and immediately said: “Let me introduce one of my friends to you again. Mr. Yang Chen. He is currently a glorious ride-hailing driver.” The guests laughed.

“Ride-hailing driver! Haha…”

“I went, the female side is really not good; a ride-hailing driver can become a guest of honor.”

“So it is said that marriage should pay attention to being well-matched! How can a family where a ride-hailing driver can be a guest of honor be worthy of the Lin family’s extravagant family?”… Yang Chen was waiting for Chen Xinyi to come over and provoke him; otherwise, he would be embarrassed to stand up on his own initiative.

Yang Chen stood up and nodded to everyone with a smile.

“Damn! He’s quite confident!”

“If I could be as confident as him, I wouldn’t be just a manager now.”

“It’s great; it’s admirable to be so confident as a ride-hailing driver!”

“With so many big shots here, if it were me, I would be embarrassed to stand up.”… Chen Xinyi: “Yang Chen, come, introduce your situation to everyone. There are many beautiful young ladies here; maybe one of them will take a fancy to you.” After speaking, she handed the microphone to Yang Chen.

Yang Chen: “Lin Hongyi, Chen Xinyi, you two are really brave; you really dare to let me speak. Then I’ll say it. Actually, I don’t have much friendship with the bride and groom, but the bride called me several times, insisting that I come over, saying that she found an awesome husband and wanted to teach me a lesson at the wedding. Why does she want to teach me a lesson? This Miss Zhao Feifei is my ex-girlfriend, and they are best friends. At the beginning, it was Chen Xinyi who took Zhao Feifei out to hook up with men every day, and then we broke up. Guys, think about it, if it were you, would you scold Chen Xinyi?”

“Damn! Of course, I would scold her!”

“I wouldn’t just scold her; I would have to beat her!”

“Sure enough, the saying is true: brothers call you out to play with women, best friends call you out to be played by men.”

“This kind of person must be beaten, too cheap! It’s okay to find more than twenty men for yourself, but you still want to drag your best friend into the water.”

“So cheap? What kind of wife did the Lin family find? My god, it’s not flattering.”… The Lin family all looked embarrassed, and Lin Zhengtian, who was feeling a little better, became uncomfortable again.

Yang Chen continued: “That’s right, my reaction is the same as everyone else’s; I just scolded her a few words, and she held a grudge against me, finally scheming
and climbing up the high branch of the Lin family, insisting that I come to her wedding so that Lin Hongyi can teach me a lesson. Damn, although I am a ride-hailing driver, I am not someone who can be bullied casually. I called all of Chen Xinyi’s ex-boyfriends to bless her with a happy wedding. Just now, Lin Hongyi also threatened to have the platform block my account so that I can’t survive. I thought they would hide from me, but I didn’t expect them to dare to let me speak. Okay, since they are so bullying, then don’t think about continuing this wedding today! I said it!” Lin Hongyi was furious and raised his fist to hit Yang Chen.

“Stop! I’ll see who dares to touch Mr. Yang; I’ll cripple his whole family!” Qiu Tian roared and quickly rushed over with the people from Aegis Security.

This jerk can also pretend, but Aegis Security does have that strength; even if he pretends, no one dares to disobey!

At the same time, Xue Yinong, Zhang Xiang, Li Junhao, Liang Xiuyun, Zhou Jianbang… a group of big shots came over.

Xue Yinong: “Mr. Yang, you are here too. I didn’t expect you to be sitting here; I didn’t even see you. This is outrageous! Lin Hongyi, how dare you treat Mr. Yang like this? You let him sit in the most corner position, and you even dare to provoke him. Have you lived for more than forty years in vain? Don’t you have a brain!” Lin Hongyi was shocked. Before he could speak, Li Junhao said with a cold face: “Lin Hongyi, how dare you treat Mr. Yang like this! If it weren’t for Mr. Xue’s sake, how could I have come to your wedding! You bastard!” Zhang Xiang: “Mr. Lin, please handle your own case. I will still handle the public affairs of your company according to the contract and will not handle the private affairs of anyone in the Lin family.” Liang Xiuyun: “Mr. Lin, I think our cooperation should be put on hold for the time being. Our Shengjin Investment Bank can’t afford your Lin family, so let’s stop here!”… Lin Hongyi was so shocked that he couldn’t speak. What was going on? Why did everyone protect a ride-hailing driver so much?

Chen Xinyi was completely dumbfounded. Could it be that Yang Chen is not only the second shareholder of the Peninsula Hotel but also more powerful than she imagined?

Yang Kang quickly pulled Zhao Feifei away. The situation was not good now, and they didn’t need to cause trouble for themselves.

But the more powerful Yang Chen was, the more uncomfortable Zhao Feifei felt, and the more she looked at Yang Kang, the more she felt that he was not good enough. Some women are like this, damn, they are greedy for the poor and love the rich, and they love whoever is good, with no loyalty at all!

The Lin family twins ran over. Lin Shuying: “Brother Chen, you are here too. Why didn’t you say hello to us?” Lin Anxiang: “Brother Chen, if you had said hello to us in advance, these things could have been avoided.” Yang Chen: “I didn’t say hello to you because I didn’t want you to be embarrassed. Listen, this matter has nothing to do with you; you go aside and pretend you didn’t see me. When Chen Xinyi called me the second time to mock me, it was already destined that today’s wedding could not go smoothly! I’ll put my words here: if this wedding ceremony goes smoothly today, everyone here is my enemy!” The Lin family sisters were frightened by Yang Chen’s fierce eyes, and they took two steps back involuntarily.

They had always thought that Yang Chen was gentle and elegant, a very gentle person. That was when Yang
Chen was not angry. When he got angry, he was fiercer than those who were usually fierce!

Xue Yinong was furious and slapped Chen Xinyi, then said to Lin Zhengtian, who was staggering over: “If the wedding continues, our cooperation will be terminated, and the Lin family must be out!” Chen Xinyi’s relatives and friends quickly stepped forward to blame Xue Yinong.

“Hey, why are you hitting people?”

“What’s going on? How can you hit the bride?”

“Hongyi, someone is hitting your wife; aren’t you saying anything?”… If Xue Yinong hadn’t been saving face for the Lin family, she would have hit Lin Hongyi just now, and the Lin family wouldn’t have dared to say anything. They actually wanted him to say something; how dare he say anything?

Lin Hongyi quickly said: “Okay! Stop talking!” Liang Xiuyun: “Mr. Lin, if the wedding continues, there is no need to continue our cooperation negotiations. It seems that our Shengjin Investment Bank can’t afford your Lin family, so let’s stop here!” Zhou Jianbang: “Your Lin family should not invest in our company either; we don’t cooperate with people who are not clear-headed.” Zhao Jingzhong had already guessed that Yang Chen was Mr. Jinghu, but Xue Yinong warned him not to say it.

For the sake of his many years of friendship with Lin Zhengtian, he quickly persuaded: “Hongyi, she is not worthy of you anyway; don’t be confused.”… In just a few minutes, the situation changed drastically.

The Lin family was still proud just now, but now they are being forced to a dead end by these big shots. Lin Zhengtian was so angry that tears came out and said: “Mr. Yang, I am very sorry; I apologize to you on behalf of the Lin family. Can you spare the Lin family for the sake of the old man and the two granddaughters?” Lin Shuying: “Brother Chen, don’t embarrass my second uncle. Okay?” Lin Anxiang: “Brother Chen, please, please be merciful; otherwise, our family will really not be able to end it.” Yang Chen’s attitude was very firm. It had already come to this point; how could he stop?

“I said just now, it has nothing to do with you; don’t interfere. Your second uncle and Chen Xinyi provoked and humiliated me first; if I don’t fight back, then am I still a person? No matter how useless I am, I can’t let people shit on my head and not even dare to resist,” Yang Chen replied.

Lin Zhengtian gritted his teeth and said: “Hongyi, cancel the wedding…” Lin Hongyi was stunned for a moment, then he nodded and announced loudly: “Everyone, I’m sorry; I made you laugh. I’m very sorry for wasting everyone’s time today. The wedding is canceled, and I will return the gift money to everyone later. Just treat it as a gathering to have a meal and chat.”

“Ah…” The whole audience exclaimed. A ride-hailing driver really forced Lin Hongyi to cancel the wedding!
