How A Ride-Hailing Driver Comes To Dominate The World? [EN]: Chapter 332

The First Customer in the Capital is This Ridiculous

Chapter 332 The First Customer in the Capital is This Ridiculous

Since they were already talking about it, Yang Chen decided to be direct. “Beauty, you’re not planning to wear a red dress to his house to commit suicide, and then become a vengeful ghost like in the movies to get revenge, are you?”

The girl replied, “Huh? You guessed that too? That’s exactly what I was thinking. I gave up everything for love, and now that love is gone, I have no reason to live. If I die, I’ll definitely make sure he suffers.”

Yang Chen said, “Let’s just say, is it possible that you don’t need to die for so-called love? Maybe there are better options? Look how pretty you are, and you’re willing to give up money for love. I think it’ll be easy for you to find someone who truly cares about you. How about I introduce you to a brother of mine? I can guarantee he’ll be devoted to you for the rest of his life. If he ever dares to be unfaithful, I’ll cripple him. What do you think?”

The girl shook her head. “My heart is already dead. It’s impossible for me to fall in love with someone else.”

The only way to help her was to let her witness how miserable the *zha nan* [渣男, scumbag] was; maybe then she could vent her anger.

Otherwise, with her current tunnel vision, no amount of persuasion would work.

Yang Chen said, “Beauty, let me be honest. Dragon Rise Garden is my neighborhood. If you die there, my neighborhood’s property values will definitely plummet, and the tenants will probably all run away. That would be a huge loss for me.”

The girl asked, “You live there?”

Yang Chen said, “I don’t live there, but that neighborhood is mine. The government compensated me with those houses during demolition. The entire neighborhood is mine. If you commit suicide there, the property values of my entire neighborhood will plummet. I’d lose at least hundreds of millions. It’s fate that you got into my car. Don’t harm me, and I’ll help you. Don’t die, okay?”

The girl stared blankly at Yang Chen, unsure what to say.

Who would have thought that a ride-hailing driver could own an entire neighborhood?

After a moment, the girl asked, “Then how are you going to help me?”

Yang Chen asked, “Do you know which rich woman that *zha nan* is with?”

The girl said, “Yes, her name is Huang Wenjuan. She’s the boss of Jusi Creative Design Co., Ltd.”

Yang Chen slowed down and parked on the side of the road.

He seemed to have heard that name and company name before, but he couldn’t quite remember.

The girl asked, “Why did you stop?”

Yang Chen picked up his phone. “I think I know this person. Wait, let me check my contacts.”

Sure enough, Yang Chen found Huang Wenjuan’s name, and it was noted that she was indeed the boss of Jusi Creative Design.

Once, Yang Chen had picked up a girl who was interviewing for a designer position. The girl was timid and didn’t dare to go in for the interview, so she asked Yang Chen to go in and test the waters first, and then she would go in for the interview. That company was Jusi Creative Design Co., Ltd., and the boss was Huang Wenjuan.

At that time, Yang Chen had even poached several designers from her company.

“Beauty, I’ll take you to find them and help you vent your anger. Don’t go to Dragon Rise Garden to commit suicide, okay?” Yang Chen asked.

The girl said, “But my love is gone. Venting my anger won’t help. Besides, I already quit my job today. I have no motivation to live even if I don’t die.”

Yang Chen said, “How about this? I’ll introduce you to a job, introduce you to a particularly reliable young man, and help you teach that *zha nan* a lesson. Just think positively, don’t die. Is that okay?”

The girl was silent for a moment, then said, “How about you kick him out of your neighborhood? Then I won’t die in your neighborhood.”

Yang Chen said, “Um… Beauty, look, I’m alone, right? Since I’ve met you, I definitely want to save your life. Don’t you think so? I’ll introduce you to China Eastern Airlines to fly international routes, introduce you to a driver brother I know, and help you teach that *zha nan* a lesson. You’ll have both love and a career, and you’ll have your revenge. Why do you still want to die?”

The girl said, “Brother, are you kidding me? I can believe that you, a ride-hailing driver, got a neighborhood from demolition. But you’re saying you can arrange for me to work on international routes at China Eastern Airlines? If you’re so amazing, why are you still driving a ride-hailing car?”

Yang Chen said, “It’s because I’m too amazing that I drive a ride-hailing car to pass the time. My businesses are all managed by professional managers. I can’t just be idle every day, can I? I have to drive for ride-hailing, deliver food, and enrich my life. Otherwise, am I just supposed to lie in bed and wait to die?”

The girl was silent again, and finally, she nodded.

Yang Chen immediately called Huang Wenjuan, planning to go to her house right away.

Yang Chen asked, “Beauty, what’s your name?”

The girl said, “Huang Yunxi.”

Yang Chen said, “Okay, Miss Huang. I’m calling a friend now to ask him to dress up and come out to meet you. If you think he’s okay, give it a try. If you really don’t like him, then forget it. As for the job, go directly to Lin Yiren at China Eastern Airlines Group tomorrow. I’ll arrange everything. Just go there.”

Huang Yunxi nodded and said, “Brother, thank you. If I can still live, I will definitely remember your kindness for the rest of my life. If I still can’t think straight, I will protect you even as a ghost.”

Yang Chen said, “No, no, no, just remember my kindness for the rest of your life. I don’t want to be followed by a ghost for the rest of my life.”

Huang Yunxi chuckled, seeming to feel a little better.

Yang Chen sent a message to Chen He.

“Brother, get dressed up immediately, put on your most handsome clothes, and wait for me at Wanda Plaza. I’m introducing you to a stewardess. It’s a rare opportunity, so you must seize it.”

At this moment, Chen He, who was dropping off a passenger, almost crashed the car in excitement after seeing the message.

A ride-hailing driver would never dare to dream of getting involved with a stewardess.

Yang Chen is really too kind.

“Brother Chen, is she really a stewardess? You’re my real dad. I’ll head over as soon as I drop off this passenger! If this works out, when I get married, you’ll sit with my parents, and we’ll kneel and offer you tea.”

Yang Chen smiled and focused on driving.

At this time, Huang Wenjuan brought a bowl of wolfberry, astragalus, and sea cucumber soup to Zhang Le, Huang Yunxi’s *zha nan* ex-boyfriend.

Zhang Le looked very tired, with dull eyes and swollen eye bags, clearly exhausted.

“Lele, I made this soup for you myself. Come on, drink it while it’s hot,” Huang Wenjuan said with a smile.

Zhang Le’s eyes widened suddenly and said, “Sister Huang, please spare me. It’s already been six times today. I really can’t take it anymore.”

“What silly things are you saying? Shouldn’t you be happy that I’m interested in you? I’ll take you to buy a watch tomorrow, Rolex or Patek Philippe, you choose. Come on, drink it while it’s hot, and then come with me to pick up a very important guest,” Huang Wenjuan said with a smile, handing the bowl to Zhang Le.

Zhang Le really couldn’t do it anymore and said, “Sister Huang, I really can’t! Please, let me rest for two days.”

Huang Wenjuan put down the bowl, slapped him, and her expression immediately turned fierce. She cursed, “Don’t be so shameless! I want your money, and I want your body. I’ve been giving you money non-stop, and your body can’t stop either. I’ve been feeling particularly horny lately, so don’t ruin my mood! After this period, or when I lose interest in you, you won’t even have the chance to drink this! Drink it!”

The slap woke Zhang Le up. He quickly picked up the bowl and swallowed everything inside.

Now he finally understood that it’s not so easy to be with a rich woman.

After Zhang Le finished the nourishing soup, Huang Wenjuan told him to change his clothes and go out.

Soon, Yang Chen arrived with Huang Yunxi at the neighborhood where Huang Wenjuan lived.

To please Yang Chen, Huang Wenjuan put on the LV *bao kuan* [爆款, popular style] that he designed, exuding the words “tacky” and “rich” all over her body, and waited for Yang Chen at the entrance of the neighborhood with Zhang Le.

As soon as Yang Chen got out of the car, Huang Wenjuan quickly stepped forward to greet him.

“President Yang, welcome, welcome. I’m truly flattered by your sudden visit to my home,” Huang Wenjuan said with a smile.

Yang Chen chuckled and said, “Actually, it’s not me who wants to see you.”

At this moment, Huang Yunxi opened the car door and got out.

Huang Wenjuan and Zhang Le were both stunned.

“Huang Yunxi, why are you here?” Zhang Le asked.

Huang Yunxi said, “I’m here to see what kind of good life the rich woman you abandoned three years of relationship for can give you!”

Huang Wenjuan panicked and quickly asked with a smile, “President Yang, is she a friend of yours?”

Yang Chen said, “I’m driving a ride-hailing car, and she happened to take my car to commit suicide at your *xiao bai lian*’s [小白脸, gigolo] house. Look at her, she’s wearing all red. If she dies and turns into a vengeful ghost, how scary would that be? And the neighborhood where your *xiao bai lian* rents a house happens to be mine. If she commits suicide there, the property values of my entire neighborhood will collapse. How much money would I lose? So, I brought her here to chat with President Huang. You’re a boss, how can you be a mistress and poach someone else’s boyfriend?”

Huang Wenjuan said, “President Yang, don’t misunderstand. It’s not my fault. This kid took the initiative to approach me, so I naturally thought he was single. Later, after we went to the hotel several times, this little sister blocked us, and I found out he had a girlfriend. I wanted to break up with him, but this little calf has such a good body that I got a little carried away, so… Since President Yang is here, I’ll give him back to her. Zhang Le, go back and treat this little sister well.”

Zhang Le immediately said, “Sister Huang, I broke up with her a long time ago. She’s the one who’s been pestering me.”

Huang Wenjuan’s eyes turned cold, and she slapped him again, cursing, “Are you even human? The little girl has been with you for three years, and you just say you don’t want her anymore? She’s even going to kill herself for you, don’t you understand? If she commits suicide in President Yang’s neighborhood and affects the property prices, you won’t be able to atone for it even if you die a hundred times!”

Zhang Le looked at Huang Wenjuan with a aggrieved expression, and then glared fiercely at Huang Yunxi.

The life of luxury cars and mansions was within reach, but it was ruined by Huang Yunxi.

Zhang Le walked up to Huang Yunxi angrily and said, “What exactly do you want? Didn’t I tell you we broke up? Why are you still pestering me?”

Huang Yunxi said, “Seeing how spineless you are, I really feel disgusted for you. I was blind to choose the worst one among so many suitors. I was so stupid to even think about killing myself because of you.”

After saying that, Huang Yunxi slapped Zhang Le and said, “This slap is for betraying our three years of relationship.”

Then, she raised her hand to hit Zhang Le again, but he dodged it.

Huang Wenjuan immediately scolded, “Zhang Le, who told you to move? If the little sister wants to hit you, you have to take it. If you dare to move again, see how I’ll get someone to deal with you!”

Zhang Le was so scared that he didn’t dare to move.

Huang Yunxi stepped forward and slapped him, saying, “This slap is to end everything between us!”

Then, Huang Yunxi said to Yang Chen, “Brother, let’s go.”

Yang Chen nodded.

Huang Wenjuan quickly smiled apologetically and sent Yang Chen to the car, saying, “President Yang, I’m sorry, it’s all my fault. I hope you can be generous and not blame me. I’ll kick him out immediately and never see him again.”

Yang Chen said, “Don’t! He can’t leave you, but he can’t have a good time by your side either. Do you understand what I mean?”

Huang Wenjuan said, “I understand! I understand! I have to squeeze this cheap man dry, so he’ll feel like he can’t live or die.”

Yang Chen said, “Okay! You’re smart. I’ll send people to check on his condition from time to time. You better not play tricks on me.”

Huang Wenjuan said, “President Yang, don’t worry, I definitely won’t dare to play tricks. If there are any good opportunities in the future, please take care of our company.”

Yang Chen nodded and drove away.

Huang Wenjuan sighed and said, “That little slut is so lucky to be able to get into President Yang’s car.”

Zhang Le immediately stepped forward and asked, “Sister Huang, who is that President Yang?”

Huang Wenjuan said, “The second largest shareholder of LVMH Group, the boss of Xingchen Investment. In short, he’s very awesome. If he participates in the rich list ranking, he would definitely be number one.”

Zhang Le asked, “Ah? So amazing! He… he’s so rich, why is he still driving a ride-hailing car?”

Huang Wenjuan kicked Zhang Le in the butt and cursed, “Why are you asking so many questions? Go back and wash yourself clean and wait for me. You can’t waste the nourishing soup you just drank. You have to work for it.”

Zhang Le said, “Sister Huang, give me a day to rest. Six times yesterday and five times today, I really can’t take it anymore. I’m staggering when I walk now.”

Huang Wenjuan slapped him again and cursed, “Bullshit! Didn’t you hear what President Yang said? I can’t let you have a good time. You choose, either wash yourself clean and wait for me, or I’ll get someone to beat you up every day.”

Zhang Le immediately lowered his head and obediently went back…

Huang Yunxi breathed a sigh of relief and took out a wet wipe to remove her makeup.

“I’ve already asked that driver brother out. I’ll take you to chat with him. If you like him, develop a relationship. If you don’t like him, then forget it,” Yang Chen said.

Huang Yunxi nodded and said, “Brother, thank you. I probably won’t want to commit suicide anymore. I will definitely remember your kindness for the rest of my life. Seeing that you must be a very powerful person, there’s nothing I can do for you. But I have one life, so feel free to take it whenever you need it.”

Yang Chen said, “Haha… Okay, I’ll keep that in mind.”

Soon, they arrived at Wanda Plaza.

Yang Chen called Chen He, who had been waiting for a long time, over.

Chen He walked over with a suit and flowers, smiling.

“Brother Chen, good evening.”

Yang Chen nodded and turned to Huang Yunxi and said, “Miss Huang, go down and chat with him. Don’t worry, just talk. If you don’t like him, just say so. He’ll take you home. Don’t have any concerns.”

Huang Yunxi nodded and said, “Okay! Brother, thank you. Then you go back and rest early.”

Yang Chen smiled and took the bag from the passenger seat and gave it to her.

While Huang Yunxi was getting out of the car, Yang Chen quickly whispered to Chen He, “She’s wearing too little. Take off your coat and put it on her. Take her to a warm place to chat. Be sincere, don’t be slick.”

Chen He nodded and quickly ran over to give Huang Yunxi the flowers, and then took off his suit jacket and put it on her.

Yang Chen smiled and drove away.

Alright, now I can rest assured. I’ve finally saved the property prices of those 10 buildings in Dragon Rise Garden.

After returning home, Yang Chen sent a message to Lin Yiren, explaining the situation with Huang Yunxi in detail, and left the rest to her.

…

The next day at 7:50 AM, Yang Chen drove to the entrance of Li Chuanen’s neighborhood.

Li Chuanen and his daughter Li Yunxi were already waiting.

Seeing Yang Chen arrive, they quickly walked over with their belongings.

Yang Chen had great respect for intellectuals.

He quickly got out of the car to help put the heavy boxes in the trunk.

Then, they set off straight for the capital [Beijing].

The trip to the capital was 1300 kilometers. At 8:30 PM, they arrived at the Yanqingyuan Hotel where Li Chuanen and his daughter were staying.

After settling them in, Yang Chen drove to the Atlantis Beijing store.

The Atlantis Beijing store has a very good location. You can enjoy the night view of Shichahai [a scenic area comprising a lake and surrounding neighborhoods] from the room, and it’s only a few minutes away from the Yonghe Temple [a famous Lama temple].

Moreover, it is one of the few seven-star hotels in China and has foreign institutional shares, which means it is always fully booked.

However, Yang Chen had already booked a room yesterday, so he wasn’t worried about not having a room.

Yang Chen drove into the hotel area. There were many vehicles entering and exiting at this time, so it was a bit congested.

Behind his car was a Maybach S680.

The driver complained, “Oh my, what is a JAC [a Chinese automobile manufacturer] car doing here? It’s peak season now, and ordinary rooms cost more than 5,000 a day. Can people who drive this kind of car afford to stay here? And it’s a Haicheng license plate.”

The boss in the back smiled and said, “Maybe they’re here to see clients. Don’t worry about him, just drive carefully.”

After dawdling for more than ten minutes, Yang Chen finally drove to the entrance of the hotel.

The greeter immediately stepped forward and asked, “Good evening, sir. Do you have a room reservation?”

Yang Chen nodded and showed his Atlantis Supreme Card.

“Honorable Supreme Member, good evening, welcome to Atlantis Beijing. Please feel free to ask if you have any needs,” said the greeter.

At this time, the Maybach behind him became impatient, and the driver honked the horn twice.

The greeter quickly ran over and said, “Hello, please wait a moment. My colleague will be here to serve you soon.”

The driver said, “Don’t you have any sense? The person in the car is President Zheng, a platinum member here, who often stays at your hotel. Don’t you know who to prioritize?”

The greeter said, “President Zheng, I’m sorry, the VIP in the car in front is a Supreme Member. I can’t leave him halfway through. My colleague is here, he will serve you. I’m sorry.”

The greeter quickly told his colleague and then called him over to serve the Maybach.

The Maybach driver turned to look at the boss and said, “Supreme Member?”

The boss said, “Damn! I underestimated this JAC car driver. Hehe…”

As a seven-star hotel, the service is naturally very attentive.

Yang Chen only needed to get out of the car with his belongings, and the staff would park his car and help him with his luggage.

The staff took Yang Chen to the front desk to check in.

As soon as the front desk saw Yang Chen, they quickly called Manager Ge Zhengkang.

“Hello, Manager Ge, Mr. Yang from Haicheng has arrived and is checking in at the front desk.”

Soon, Ge Zhengkang rushed over.

“President Yang, hello, hello. Welcome home. I’m Ge Zhengkang, the manager of the Beijing store,” Ge Zhengkang said with a smile.

Yang Chen shook his hand in response and said, “Hello, Manager Ge.”

Ge Zhengkang quickly took Yang Chen’s suitcase and said, “President Yang, please come with me, I’ll take you to your room. They will send your documents and car keys up to you later.”

Yang Chen nodded and followed Ge Zhengkang.

The surrounding guests and employees were stunned.

It was the first time they had seen Manager Ge treat a guest so politely. Who exactly was that handsome guy?

The four front desk girls were processing business for the guests while whispering.

“Who is he? The manager is actually carrying his suitcase.”

“I don’t know, but he must be a very important guest. The manager told me at noon that if a Mr. Yang Chen from Haicheng checks in, I should call him immediately.”

“I’ve worked here for many years, and it’s the first time I’ve seen Manager Ge so polite to a customer. I’ll ask someone to find out later to see who that handsome guy is.”

…

President Zheng and the driver looked at each other, and they both saw the doubt in each other’s eyes.

The driver said, “It seems that that Haicheng A [license plate prefix] is not simple!”

President Zheng said, “I’m afraid he’s the young master of some big family in Haicheng. I’ve never seen Ge Zhengkang so polite to anyone. Last time when Little Ma and his group came, he didn’t stoop to carrying luggage himself. Hiss… Who exactly is he?”

The driver said, “It’s a good thing I didn’t do anything drastic, otherwise I might have caused trouble for you, President Zheng.”

At this time, Yang Chen followed Ge Zhengkang to the presidential suite on the 20th floor.

The view here was really good, and Shichahai seemed to be right under his nose.

Ge Zhengkang said, “President Yang, how do you feel about this room? If you don’t like it, I can change it for you. We still have one presidential suite available.”

Yang Chen nodded with satisfaction and said, “Very good. I’m hungry, go ask someone to send dinner over.”

Ge Zhengkang said, “Okay! What would President Yang like to eat?”

Yang Chen said, “There’s nothing in particular I want to eat, just take care of it.”

Ge Zhengkang was stunned for a moment, then quickly nodded and went out.

After driving all day, Yang Chen took a shower and went to bed after dinner.

At four in the morning, Yang Chen got up to watch the flag-raising ceremony.

After the flag-raising ceremony, Yang Chen logged into his Didi [Chinese ride-hailing company] driver account to experience what it was like to drive a ride-hailing car in the capital.

“Master, please drive faster, I need to be there within ten minutes!” the female passenger said anxiously as soon as she got into the car.

Her destination was the Yanqingyuan Hotel, which was the same hotel where Li Chuanen and Li Yunxi were staying.

However, it was 10 kilometers away from here, so it was definitely impossible to get there in 10 minutes.

“Beauty, I’m sorry, it’s definitely impossible to get there in ten minutes. The fastest would be about 15 minutes,” Yang Chen replied.

He wanted to make it clear first. If she could take it, she could take it. If she couldn’t, she could get out of the car. He didn’t want her to cause trouble if he didn’t get her there within 10 minutes.

“Oh well, just hurry up! As fast as possible! Okay?” the female passenger replied.

Yang Chen nodded and said, “Fasten your seat belt, we’re leaving now!”

Since the passenger was in a hurry, Yang Chen was consciously speeding up.

However, after all, it was a 10-kilometer journey, and everyone was going to work now, so it was impossible to get there within 15 minutes.

At this time, the female passenger’s phone rang in the back seat.

Yang Chen didn’t pay attention at first, but she suddenly said, “Don’t even mention it, I ran into a driver who’s too stupid. It’s been almost 15 minutes and we’re still not there. According to my estimate, the drug will last until 7 o’clock at most, and he could wake up at any time. Don’t do this again, I really can’t stand the life of being with him in the first half of the night and going to find you in the second half of the night. If he finds out, with his temper, he might kill me.”

Damn, Yang Chen’s eyes widened suddenly. Is it really this ridiculous?
