How A Ride-Hailing Driver Comes To Dominate The World? [EN]: Chapter 298

Banning Wang Nianming’s Weibo Account

It seemed the drop in stock prices didn’t affect Wang Nianming’s mood at all. He was still the generous young master.

“Ming-ge, good evening!”

“Young Master Wang, good evening!”

People in the bar greeted Wang Nianming.

Wang Nianming smiled and waved to everyone, looking quite dashing.

After a while, Lin Shuying and Lin Anxiang returned, looking angry.

They were having fun just now; what made them angry again?

Lin Anxiang complained to Yang Chen, “Chen-ge, someone was harassing us.”

Yang Chen: “Did they make a move?”

Lin Anxiang: “We dodged it.”

Yang Chen: “Alright, be good. Just enjoy the atmosphere. Come to places like this less often. People who come to bars are generally looking for hookups and excitement. Very few come to relax and have a drink.”

Lin Shuying: “We won’t come to places like this again. It’s better to go to a quiet bar.”

Originally, Yang Chen didn’t want to bother with those hooligans, but they actually followed their scent over.

“Hey, beauties, add me on WeChat! I know this place well. If you come here to play in the future, look for me, I’ll get you a table!”

“Yeah, add me as a friend; it’s more fun to play together.”

“Bro, what’s your relationship with them? Don’t tell me they’re both your girls!”

Yang Chen held Lin Shuying with his left hand and Lin Anxiang with his right, and said, “Is it a problem that they’re both my girls? Get lost!”

“Bro, you have a big appetite, taking on two at once?”

“Give one to your brother, or when you’re tired of them, let your brothers have them. How about it?”

“How about this, I’ll introduce you to Wang Nianming, and you give me one.”

…

Yang Chen: “Are you guys familiar with Wang Nianming?”

“We’re alright; we hang out together often.”

“He’s over there. As long as you nod, I’ll introduce you right away.”

“Women, once you’ve tasted them, that’s enough. Men should focus on making money. Introducing you to Wang Nianming might lead to some projects you can collaborate on.”

Yang Chen smiled and nodded, then took out his phone and sent a message to Wang Nianming.

Seconds later, Wang Nianming ran over.

“Chen-ge, you’re here too! You should have told me you were coming to a place like this. I might have been here,” Wang Nianming said with a smile.

Yang Chen glanced at those bastards and said, “They said they’re very familiar with you and can introduce me to you. They said you’ll help me make big money and let me give them these two. Are these the kind of friends you’re making out here every day?”

Wang Nianming was furious and kicked those bastards to the ground.

“You blind dogs, how dare you provoke Chen-ge? Damn it, apologize to Chen-ge right now, and I’ll let you off the hook because we know each other!” Wang Nianming cursed.

Those bastards were terrified and quickly got up to apologize to Yang Chen and the Lin sisters.

Yang Chen waved his hand and said, “Stay away from us in the future. Get lost!”

Those hooligans ran away in a hurry.

Yang Chen knocked on the table, signaling Wang Nianming to sit down.

“Chen-ge, I’m sorry. I’ll be more careful in making friends in the future,” Wang Nianming said humbly.

The Lin sisters were surprised. Wang Nianming was a nationally famous playboy and super rich second generation [a person who inherited great wealth]. How could he be so humble in front of Yang Chen?

The sisters’ admiration for Yang Chen grew even more. After all, everyone knew that Wang Nianming would argue with anyone, no matter how weak or strong they were. They had never seen him so humble to anyone.

They wondered what method Yang Chen used to suppress Wang Nianming so well.

Yang Chen said with a smile, “I saw your Weibo [Chinese social media platform]. You said you made such a big fuss for a small-time internet celebrity. Was it worth it? Today, Yida Commercial and Yida Film’s stocks have fallen a lot. Do you think you can face the shareholders after causing them so much loss for a small internet celebrity?”

Wang Nianming: “Chen-ge, I’m sorry, it was my fault. I was too impulsive. I’ll delete the Weibo post now and be more careful with my words and actions in the future.”

Yang Chen: “Alright! I’ll give you another chance for your dad’s sake. If there’s a next time, I’ll directly ban your account and prevent you from speaking online in the future. Got it?”

Wang Nianming: “Got it, got it. Thank you, Chen-ge. I’ll be careful in the future. I’ll delete that Weibo post now. Then, I won’t disturb you anymore. Enjoy yourselves.”

Yang Chen nodded, and Wang Nianming quickly got up and went back, asking the waiter to bring two bottles of Ace of Spades champagne.

Lin Shuying quickly asked, “Chen-ge, why is Wang Nianming so polite to you?”

Yang Chen: “I acquired shares in Yida Group and am now the second largest shareholder. If he’s not polite to me, I’ll make things difficult for his father, and his father will teach him a lesson.”

Lin Anxiang: “Chen-ge, you’re so amazing; you acquired Yida’s shares. Your investment business is getting bigger and bigger.”

Yang Chen: “Just doing some occasional investments.”

The Lin sisters quickly raised their glasses to toast Yang Chen.

Yang Chen waved his hand and refused, “I won’t drink. I have to drive later. You guys drink; I’ll take you back later.”

The Lin sisters smiled and nodded, drinking without worry.

Just a few minutes later, there was a commotion next to them.

Yang Chen turned around and saw Wang Nianming arguing with a woman.

“Can’t this guy ever learn?” Yang Chen muttered.

At this moment, a familiar figure, not exactly a close acquaintance, appeared in front of Wang Nianming and put his arm around the girl Wang Nianming was arguing with. It was Ye Xuan from the Ye family.

From the content of their argument, it could be judged that the girl was Wu Yun, the internet celebrity who had been exchanging insults with Wang Nianming.

Wang Nianming had never suffered a loss in his life. Wu Yun deliberately brought Ye Xuan to cause trouble, so he naturally refused to back down.

Ye Xuan said with a smile, “Wang Nianming, this is Haicheng, not Beijing, let alone Liancheng. You better be honest. I can spare you for your dad’s sake, but if I don’t want to spare him, I can deal with you right now. Understand?”

Wang Nianming: “Damn! Who the hell are you? Any Tom, Dick, or Harry thinks they can jump in front of me?”

Wu Yun immediately said with a proud face, “This is Ye Xuan from the Ye family in Haicheng, my sworn brother. Didn’t you post on Weibo that you were going to kill me? Didn’t you say that anyone who’s friends with me is your enemy? My sworn brother and I are standing in front of you now, so kill us!”

Not many people knew about the Ye family in Haicheng, but those who did were top-tier tycoons.

Wang Nianming naturally knew about the Ye family in Haicheng.

Wang Nianming could disregard ordinary families, but this Ye family in Haicheng was a bit special and not easy to deal with.

If he really fell out with them, his dad would definitely scold him.

So, Wang Nianming didn’t know how to end things for a moment.

At this moment, a firm and strong arm wrapped around Wang Nianming.

Wang Nianming turned his head and saw that it was Yang Chen.

A sneer appeared on the corner of Ye Xuan’s mouth, and he said, “Oh, isn’t this Yang Chen? You’re really like a fly; I can run into you anywhere.”

Yang Chen: “Yeah, flies just like the smell of sh*t, so I followed the smell. When I took a closer look, it turned out to be Young Master Ye. I thought someone was taking a dump in public.”

The onlookers burst into laughter, Ye Xuan’s expression changed drastically, and he turned to glare at those who were laughing, scaring them into shutting up.

Wu Yun obviously didn’t know who Yang Chen was and said arrogantly, “Who are you? Do you even have the right to speak here?”

Yang Chen slapped Wu Yun and cursed, “You blind b*tch!”

Ye Xuan’s bodyguard wanted to make a move but was stopped by him again.

Wu Yun covered her bleeding mouth and whined to Ye Xuan, “Brother, look, he hit me; you have to avenge me.”

Ye Xuan sneered, his mouth twitching a few times, and said, “It’s your own fault for being a loudmouth; you deserved it!”

Wang Nianming looked at Yang Chen with shock and admiration.

Yang Chen dared to disregard Ye Xuan and hit Wu Yun without hesitation, and Ye Xuan didn’t dare to resist?

Ye Xuan had the Ye family behind him, so did Yang Chen have an even more powerful family behind him?

Ye Xuan took a step forward. He wanted to bump foreheads with Yang Chen, but when he got closer, he realized that his forehead could only reach Yang Chen’s nose, so he quickly and awkwardly stepped back.

This…

Was really a bit awkward.

He wanted to show off but failed, instead making Yang Chen look incredibly tall and imposing.

Ye Xuan: “Yang Chen, you’re just lucky. I have a mission right now and don’t want to fight with you for the time being. You wait until I complete my mission, and see how I deal with you.”

Yang Chen: “With me around, your mission will never be completed! Stop daydreaming and go back to guarding the gate.”

Ye Xuan: “Hehe… Don’t push me. If you push me too hard, I’ll just apply for discharge from the army. Without any restrictions, I can ruin you and everyone around you!”

Yang Chen: “Alright, I’ll wait for you.”

After speaking, Yang Chen pressed Wang Nianming down to sit.

“Behave yourself in the future, and figure out the situation before you mess with women! Don’t speak online anymore; I’m going to have your Weibo account banned now!” Yang Chen said.

Wang Nianming: “Ah? Chen-ge, don’t! Why are you banning my Weibo?”

Yang Chen: “If I don’t ban your Weibo, you’ll definitely keep messing with them. If you don’t feel embarrassed, I feel embarrassed.”

After speaking, Yang Chen called the secretary of Weibo’s board of directors.

Yang Chen: “Hello, this is Yang Chen. Yes, it’s me. Have someone ban Wang Nianming’s Weibo account now. Reason? What reason do you need? Do I need a reason to ban an account? Wang Nianming doesn’t dare to ask you for a reason, just ban it directly. Oh, right, there’s also a small-time internet celebrity named Wu Yun, ban her too! Ban them immediately! What are you waiting for until tomorrow morning? Why would I call you now if I was going to wait until tomorrow morning?”

The onlookers were all dumbfounded. What was the background of this big shot? He could actually order Weibo to do things and ban Wang Nianming’s account just like that?

“Damn, is it real? Are they really going to ban Ming-ge’s account?”

“No way, who would dare to ban Wang Nianming’s account!”

“Would a small company like Weibo dare to ban Wang Nianming’s account?”

“Just search it, and you’ll know.”

…

Wang Nianming said helplessly, “Chen-ge, don’t do this. If you ban my Weibo, how will I monitor the entertainment industry in the future? How will I follow along with the gossip?”

Yang Chen: “If you can’t eat it, then don’t eat it. You enjoy it, but the shareholders suffer.”

After speaking, Yang Chen turned around and left.

The Lin sisters quickly followed, accompanying Yang Chen on either side as they left.

Wang Nianming sighed, opened his Weibo, and refreshed it. Sure enough, it was banned.

“Oh, it really got banned.”

“Damn, Ming-ge’s Weibo is really banned; everything is cleared, no such person exists.”

“Ming-ge, who is he? Is he that awesome?”

…

Wang Nianming was full of anger and said, “What’s it to you? Damn it!”

Then he left angrily.

Wu Yun refreshed her Weibo and found that her Weibo was also banned.

“Oh no, Brother, my Weibo is also banned! Please help me get it back!” Wu Yun shook Ye Xuan’s arm and acted coquettishly.

Ye Xuan replied pretentiously, “Don’t worry, I’ll call Weibo tomorrow and have them restore your account. Let’s go; this place is smoky and not fun.”

Wu Yun nodded and left with Ye Xuan’s arm.

The onlookers discussed.

“Who exactly is that Chen-ge? I feel like I’ve seen him before, but I can’t remember where.”

“He’s really awesome; he banned Wang Nianming’s Weibo with just one phone call, and Wang Nianming didn’t even dare to say anything harsh.”

“I saw two rich second generations more awesome than Wang Nianming at once; tonight wasn’t a waste.”

“Post it online and see if anyone recognizes him, which family’s young master is so powerful!”

…

Some onlookers immediately posted the photos they had taken of Yang Chen on Weibo and Douyin [Chinese version of TikTok].

But soon after posting, the system prompted that the photos violated regulations and deleted them directly.

“Damn, what’s going on? I can’t post it!”

“I can’t post it either!”

“What’s going on? Why can’t I post it?”

“Isn’t it easy to understand? He must have ordered Weibo and Douyin to block his information. As long as someone posts it, the review customer service will delete it directly.”

“That’s possible! But if that’s the case, then how awesome is he? He can actually order Weibo and Douyin to do things at the same time?”

“Someone who can disregard Wang Nianming and not give face to the Ye family in Haicheng must have a more powerful and low-key force behind him.”

…

Overnight, a message spread throughout the Haicheng rich second generation circle.

That was, a second-generation brother had come to Haicheng who even Wang Nianming was afraid of, didn’t give face to the Ye family, and could control Weibo and Douyin at the same time. Everyone should be careful when playing outside in the future and not provoke this great god.

As the most powerful internet celebrity in Dragon Country [China], the banning of Wang Nianming’s Weibo account was definitely a major internet event.

Soon, the news spread on Weibo and Douyin.

Netizens came to eat melons [watch the drama].

“I lost it; did Weibo find a backer? They actually dare to ban Wang Gongzi’s [Young Master Wang’s] Weibo!”

“Weibo has become promising; they actually dare to ban Wang Gongzi’s account. I really want to know who gave the order; how dare they?”

“Haha… Wang Nianming must be watching us discuss him now, but he can’t speak out; he must be anxious.”

“I heard from my friend that someone named Chen-ge ordered the banning of Wang Nianming and Wu Yun’s accounts. That Chen-ge is very handsome, has a lot of energy, and you can’t find his information on Weibo and Douyin. Uploading his photos will be automatically deleted. Anyway, a big shot gave the order, and Weibo had no choice but to comply, and Wang Nianming didn’t dare to resist.”

…

Watching the netizens discuss, Wang Nianming was really anxious.

He posted a status in his Moments [social media feature].

“Enjoy life in the future and don’t participate in things on the internet. Everyone, just eat melons here; let’s all disperse!”

Soon someone took a screenshot of Wang Nianming’s Moments and posted it online, which again attracted a lot of netizens to discuss.

“It seems that Wang Nianming is really scared this time and is going to completely say goodbye to the internet.”

“Wang Gongzi doesn’t play Weibo; we’ll have a lot less entertainment gossip to eat in the future.”

“Damn! This is the first time I’ve seen someone who can make Wang Nianming obedient. His father told him not to argue with people online, but he didn’t listen. Now he’s so honestly accepting reality.”

…

After lunch, the hardworking Yang Chen put on his Meituan [food delivery service] rider uniform again to deliver food.

After some screening, Yang Chen selected an order for 50 lunch boxes.

Why choose this order?

Because if Yang Chen didn’t take this order, the system would definitely assign it to other riders nearby.

Delivering so many lunch boxes in one order, this rider definitely wouldn’t make any money at noon today.

Yang Chen didn’t rely on this to make money; he just wanted to complete the last special task.

So, he would deliver this order.

Yang Chen couldn’t help but complain, “Some office workers are really stingy. They order so many things in one order and don’t consider how many times the rider has to deliver them on an electric bike. After delivering this order for one noon, earning so little delivery fee, how can people support their families?”

It took more than an hour just for the merchant to prepare the goods, and then Yang Chen drove to Lingjun Building.

Arriving at the entrance of the building, Yang Chen called Miss Wu, who had placed the order.

This Miss Wu was very easy to talk to and immediately brought someone down to pick it up.

But because she didn’t bring enough people, Yang Chen also had to help take some up.

Yang Chen followed Miss Wu and others to the 8th floor, which was the office of Oriental Education. The employees were packing up their things, and it seemed that they couldn’t continue.

Recently, the government issued a document prohibiting off-campus training education, and Oriental Education was founded on training education, which undoubtedly sentenced them to death.

After returning all the money to customers, Yu Hong, the chairman of Oriental Education Group, was now going to donate desks, chairs, and other office supplies to schools in backward areas of the Northwest.

It must be said that Lao Yu [Old Yu, a respectful nickname] was really good at doing things. If it were another boss, he would definitely have run away with the money at this time.

When Yang Chen was in school, his family conditions were relatively good, and he had also taken training courses at Oriental Education.

How popular was Oriental Education’s English training back then? Several founders and teachers gave lectures everywhere; how glorious it was.

Unexpectedly, with a change in national policy, such a popular training company was gone.

Yang Chen sighed with emotion and turned to leave.

At this moment, Miss Wu chased after him and said, “Handsome guy, I’m sorry for making you deliver so much alone. Our President Yu said to give you an extra hundred yuan for the delivery fee; I hope you don’t mind. You rely on this to make a living, and this order has delayed you for so long. You missed today’s peak period, so it must be difficult to get orders. Take it; I wish you a happy life.”

Yang Chen looked at the hundred yuan in his hand, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

“Miss Wu, can you take me to see your President Yu? I want to talk to him,” Yang Chen said.

Miss Wu: “I can’t make the decision on this. I’ll go in and report to him. If President Yu is willing to talk to you, then of course you can go in and talk to him. If he’s not willing, then I’m sorry.”

Yang Chen nodded and said, “Alright! Then I’ll trouble Miss Wu.”

Miss Wu shook her head and said, “You’re welcome. Wait a moment.”

After a while, Lao Yu came out.

Most people who went to high school knew Lao Yu, such a celebrity entrepreneur.

Lao Yu: “Hehehe… Young man, Secretary Wu said you wanted to see me; what do you want to say?”

Yang Chen: “Your company is no longer doing training; what are your plans? I remember your company is listed, right?”

Lao Yu: “Yes! We are listed in Xiangjiang [Hong Kong]. However, it has now reached the edge of delisting. Young man, what do you want to say to me? Look, I’m busy clearing the place, so get to the point.”

Yang Chen took out his phone, flipped out his electronic business card, and said, “This is my business card; let’s find a place to have a good chat if President Yu has time.”

When Lao Yu saw so many well-known big groups on the business card, he was immediately shocked.

“Hello, President Yang, hello, President Yang. If President Yang has time, let’s go to the office to talk. Please come in, please come in,” Lao Yu said in surprise.

Yang Chen nodded and followed Lao Yu to the office.

The secretary Wu and others next to him were dumbfounded. What was going on? Why was President Yu suddenly so polite to this takeaway guy?

Lao Yu took out the best tea, personally brewed it, and brought it over.

Yang Chen said with a smile, “Thank you, President Yu. Let’s get down to business. I can invest in buying your company’s stock to ensure that your company is not delisted. But I want to know if you have any ideas; after all, education and training can’t be done anymore. If the company wants to survive, it has to expand new businesses.”

Lao Yu hesitated for a few seconds, then sighed and said, “President Yang has a distinguished status, so I won’t pretend in front of you. Currently, we don’t have any particularly good ideas. For the time being, there are two ideas that are not very good. First, the regulations prohibit training students, but there are no regulations prohibiting training parents. We can train parents and let the parents go home to teach their children, so that we don’t violate the regulations. This is considered a loophole; we can try it, but it definitely won’t have good results. Second, live streaming is very popular now; we want to keep a few elite teachers to do online lectures and rely on parents and students to tip, etc. But, it depends on whether platforms such as Douyin allow it. If they think this is also considered extracurricular training, they will definitely not let us do it. Apart from these two ideas, we have no other ideas for the time being. I wonder if President Yang has any good suggestions?”

How could Yang Chen have any good suggestions? He only thought of saving this former training industry giant when he ran into it.

However, it doesn’t matter if he doesn’t have any suggestions; he can think of them now.

Yang Chen had seen a lot, so it was easy to think of a few ideas, whether they would work or not.

“I do have an idea; I think you can try it,” Yang Chen said with a smile.

Lao Yu immediately perked up; he felt that young people who could invest in so many companies must have very practical ideas.

“Is that so? Then please enlighten me, Mr. Yang.” Lao Yu said, pulling his chair over and sitting next to Yang Chen.

Seeing some readers complaining about the game chapter, it was my mistake, I won’t write it in the future, sorry. At that time, I was thinking of acquiring Penguin’s shares, using them slightly first, and then I only play Chicken and King, and finally wrote King, because I think the scope of Chicken cheating is limited, there is nothing to write about. Thank you for your comments, I didn’t know that readers didn’t like this kind of thing if you didn’t give comments. I can avoid such plots in future books.
