How A Ride-Hailing Driver Comes To Dominate The World? [EN]: Chapter 386

The Success Guru? What’s Wrong with a Ride-Hailing Driver Having Some Money? (1)

Zhang Yan was still doing his pole dance when another wave of people rushed over.

The onlookers quickly moved away from the area.

As they got closer, Yang Chen saw that it was Qiu Hongqiang leading the Aegis Security team to “escort” him.

The Aegis Security people formed two circles, keeping everyone contained.

“Mr. Yang, have they offended you?” Qiu Hongqiang asked respectfully as he ran forward.

Yang Chen smiled and shook his head. “It’s nothing. Why make such a big fuss?”

Qiu Hongqiang: “Zhang Hu and Li Xunlian used to be involved in illegal activities and still have some followers. I thought they might try to attack you directly, Mr. Yang. We can’t let you deal with these small fries yourself.”

Yang Chen: “Haha… No chance for them to attack. Isn’t President Zhang’s son putting on a pole dance show for us? Everyone, enjoy the show and be sure to applaud if you like it. Got it?”

“Got it!” the crowd shouted in unison.

This shout startled Zhang Hu and his son’s men, and even the onlookers in the distance were taken aback.

Yang Chen pointed to the bag in the back row and said, “I brought you a bag. See if you like it.”

Li Xiaofei couldn’t help but laugh and said loudly, “Teacher Li! Teacher Li! President Ma wants to shake your hand!”

Li Muzhi’s eyes widened. Was he seeing things?

All three of them looked over, and the phone displayed an incoming call from “Big Boss Ma.”

At that moment, several girls whom Li Muzhi had tricked sent him messages, asking if he was free to go shopping with them after his speech tomorrow.

Li Xiaofei explained, “I’m the vice chairman of the student union at our school, and I have to organize all the events. He came to our school to give a speech a few days ago and insisted on adding me on WeChat. I added him for work purposes, and after the speech, he sent me a message saying he liked me. If he wasn’t giving another speech tomorrow, I would have deleted him already.”

Li Xiaofei: “Oh, dinner? Is Tang Court okay?”

His previous conquests always wanted the best of everything, and he could get them into bed by spending a little money to coax them.

Yang Chen didn’t want to argue with this success guru too much, but he had to make sure he didn’t bother Li Xiaofei anymore.

Li Muzhi was secretly pleased, as this was a perfect excuse to not eat here.

Li Xiaofei nodded. She knew that Yang Chen’s friends were all big shots, so she could wait a little longer.

“Mr. Yang, you’re back! I’ve missed you so much,” Tan Hongkai said happily.

Yang Chen: “Haha… Really? What’s the matter? It sounds serious.”

He looked at Yang Chen with shock, his eyes full of disbelief.

Kudo Ki also got into Yang Chen’s car and said, “Brother Yang, I’m hailing your ride now. Can you take me home?”

Li Muzhi was overjoyed. He quickly sprayed on some cologne, slicked back his hair, grabbed his Mercedes G-Wagon keys, and ran out.

Li Muzhi was purely bluffing and showing off. He could make up anything even if he didn’t have the ability to do it.

Hanging up the phone, Yang Chen returned to the private room.

Yang Chen patted Big Boss Ma on the back and said, “Long time no see. You haven’t changed a bit, still a walking Dragon Country currency [a playful way of saying he’s very wealthy].”

This company was practically a shell, with its only business being arranging speeches for Li Muzhi.

Tan Hongkai said with a smile, “Mr. Yang and Miss Li have already ordered. The kitchen is preparing it now. I’ll go to the kitchen and tell them to make Mr. Li’s dishes quickly so they can be served together.”

Yang Chen: “Just arrange it. Not too much food, but a variety of dishes. Enough for two people.”

Maya: “Brother Chen, when you go back this time, you have to take me with you. I don’t want to stay in Hai City anymore. I want to go to Jing City with you.”

The Qingming Festival holiday was over, and his cousin Li Xiaofei had returned to school.

But when she received the LV bag, she immediately fell in love with it.

“Come, come, Teacher Li, order whatever you want. I’ll tell the kitchen to prioritize your order,” Tan Hongkai said with a smile, handing the menu to Li Muzhi.

“I have to go to Hang City tomorrow after my speech. Big Boss Ma wants to meet me to ask for some advice. He gave me ten million, so I have to go for the money. Once I’m done with my work, I’ll definitely take you shopping.”

Tan Hongkai: “Okay! Enjoy your meal, everyone. Just call a waiter if you need anything.”

This guy had also crashed before when some of his “girlfriends” discovered the truth.

Seeing how handsome and muscular Yang Chen was, Li Muzhi immediately felt a little intimidated, and his overbearing confidence disappeared.

Yang Chen continued to browse Li Muzhi’s WeChat Moments.

Tan Hongkai, of course, knew that Li Muzhi was using him to show off, but he didn’t expose him.

Big Boss Ma: “Didn’t I tell Yuanliu Financial to withdraw from Mayi Financial’s shareholders? They insist on selling their 0.1% stake for 2 billion, which values Mayi Financial at 2 trillion. No one is willing to take over at that valuation.”

“Haha…” Everyone laughed.

“Are you dating?” Yang Chen asked.

It was no exaggeration to say that these dishes shouldn’t be on the same table.

“Mr. Yang, we’ve met your demands. Please be merciful and give us back what you have. I’m begging you, okay?” Zhang Hu pleaded.

Yang Chen said with a smile, “A friend named Ma is calling. I’ll go take the call and be right back.”

Soon, he arrived at room 201.

After eating and drinking his fill, Yang Chen returned to his room to rest.

A hug was okay, but a kiss was out of the question.

Tan Hongkai: “Thank you for your concern, Mr. Yang. Everything is fine at home. What would Mr. Yang and Miss Li like to eat?”

So, when he saw Li Xiaofei for the first time, he was deeply captivated by her and vowed to get her into his bed and make her one of his many “girlfriends.”

A few minutes later, Tan Hongkai arrived with Big Boss Ma.

Tan Hongkai heard that Mr. Yang had new guests and quickly came to see if they needed anything.

Seeing this, Yang Chen couldn’t help but think of the lecture videos he had seen online.

Tan Hongkai nodded, and the waiters began to serve the dishes Li Muzhi had ordered.

Li Xiaofei took out her phone and showed Yang Chen the WeChat Moments of the person who was bothering her.

However, since the girl had asked, as a success guru who didn’t lack money, he certainly couldn’t be stingy, or how else would he pick up girls?

…

Xue Yinong specially called in a chef to prepare a lavish lunch at Yang Chen’s house.

While waiting for the food, Yang Chen chatted with Li Muzhi.

Xue Yinong: “An affirmation from a tycoon is definitely correct.”

Big Boss Ma: “President Yang, have you eaten yet?”

Yang Chen swallowed the caviar in his mouth and said, “I wouldn’t say I’m lonely, but it’s definitely not as lively as it is here. And I’m a bit lazy now, just doing a few rides a day and finding a place to rest. I’m trying to keep a low profile and not attract too much attention. Let’s have a drink. This wine was given to me by the chairman of SKP [a high-end department store]. I haven’t opened it yet. They say it’s really from ’82. Let’s see how it tastes.”

These dishes were mostly ordered by Li Xiaofei. She glanced at them and nodded, “That’s right, these are them.”

It was peak dining time, and there were no empty tables or private rooms available.

At this time, his wife, Gao Min, was downstairs chatting with his sister.

Yang Chen: “Let’s wait. A friend is coming over. Out of courtesy, we should wait for him to ask if he wants to eat together. If he doesn’t want to eat with us, then we’ll start.”

At this moment, Tan Hongkai arrived with the waiters to serve the dishes.

From these WeChat Moments, it was clear that this guy was not only good at deceiving but also very good at showing off.

These girls were both pitiful and pathetic.

Yang Chen smiled and shook his head. “I’m off duty. I’m not taking any rides. Get out of the car.”

Zhang Yan stopped dancing immediately, not wanting to dance for even a second longer.

Li Muzhi immediately straightened his back and said, “It’s simple. You give free rides to customers. At first glance, it seems like you’re losing out, but in reality, you’re earning. Because over time, people who have ridden in your car will spread the word, and you’ll become famous. If an owner happens to hear your story, he will definitely be interested in you, and your opportunity will come. You need to look at the long term. Not making money temporarily is to seize the opportunity to make big money in the future. What you lack is not money, but the opportunity to make money. Do you understand?”

Yang Chen: “Oh, is that how it is?”

They actually thought it was love and foolishly and discreetly became his “girlfriends” who came and went at his beck and call.

“Ten years ago, I did training at Alibaba, and soon after, Alibaba reached its peak. Ten years later, Alibaba is facing difficulties, and its stock price has been falling. I have been invited again to train them. This is trust. They believe in me, and I will not let them down. Ten years ago, I was able to lead Alibaba to the top, and ten years later, I will be able to lead them out of the mud again.”

Zhang Hu was about to step forward to plead with Yang Chen, but Yang Chen turned around and left.

Not long after, the two arrived at Tang Court.

With that kind of money, he still wants to pick up Li Xiaofei, who eats delicacies?

After carefully tasting it, Maya said, “This is definitely real. I’ve had it at home before, and the taste is exactly the same as this bottle.”

Yang Chen got up to greet him and said, “Oh, Teacher Li, nice to meet you. I used to watch your teaching videos online. Today, I finally met you in person.”

On the way to Tang Court, Li Muzhi was already fantasizing about taking Li Xiaofei to a hotel later.

Li Muzhi walked in with confidence, as if to say, “I’m the best in the world.”

“Hot and sour cabbage, farmhouse stir-fried pork, golden money shrimp balls, roasted meat platter, swan lava pastry. Let’s start with these, and let them order some too,” Li Muzhi said.

…

Li Xiaofei: “I’m in room 201. Come straight here. My cousin is here too, so I can introduce you.”

There was no need to look at the later Moments. The content was pretty much the same.

Li Xiaofei: “No need. Just come straight here. I’ll wait for you.”

Early in the morning, Yang Chen took the gifts he had bought yesterday and took the Aegis Security Group’s helicopter to Hai City.

Li Muzhi had just finished speaking when Tan Hongkai knocked on the door and came in.

Li Muzhi smiled awkwardly and said, “You make a lot of money driving a ride-hailing car. You’re quite willing to order dishes.”

Li Muzhi quickly said, “As long as I call Big Boss Ma, he will definitely accept my invitation without hesitation. But you also said that he has to attend a financial summit tomorrow, and I can’t delay his business. If you really want to see him, I’ll host a dinner and invite you to eat together when I have the chance. Okay?”

Li Muzhi also said in his WeChat profile that he was a success guru who had helped two President Mas and other top domestic entrepreneurs solve business management problems.

Tan Hongkai looked at Li Muzhi with a puzzled expression and said with an awkward smile, “Hello, Teacher Li. I’m sorry, I may see too many guests every day, and I can’t remember you for a moment. Sorry, sorry, please forgive me.”

Li Xiaofei smiled slyly and quickly connected to a voice call.

Originally, he wanted to come back and rest for two days, but Yu Shishi and Maya didn’t give him a chance to rest at all.

Around noon, Yang Chen drove his Cullinan to Hai City University to pick up Li Xiaofei.

Yang Chen: “Get lost! Kiss my ass. You’ve been corrupted by a year of college.”

Big Boss Ma stepped forward to shake his hand, but he didn’t react.

Damn, a ride-hailing driver is eating so extravagantly?

After some greetings, Yang Chen drove his Cullinan to sweep the tombs.

Yang Chen: “I’m also in Hai City, eating with Li Muzhi at Tang Court. I’m going to Hai City University of Finance and Economics tomorrow to listen to Li Muzhi’s speech. This guy keeps saying that he trained you, led Alibaba to the top ten years ago, and is now saving Alibaba from deep water. I’m about to laugh my head off.”

She took it out and glanced at it, and immediately showed an impatient expression.

Yang Chen laughed and said, “Listening to your words is like listening to nothing, oh, no, it’s better than reading ten years of books. Why didn’t I think of this method? No wonder Teacher Li can succeed and train so many big companies. You really have your own unique skills.”

Yang Chen: “Eating now. Have you eaten, President Ma?”

“Although I’m in my thirties, I still maintain a young mentality and state. So, I usually wear shoes and clothes from Adidas, Nike, and other top global sports brands. I can’t understand why so many people are rushing to buy Hongxing Erke. Adidas and Nike are only a thousand yuan after the discount, so why not buy them? Are those shoes that cost more than a hundred yuan really for people to wear?”

Li Xiaofei’s cousin is here, so how can he take her to a hotel?

Half an hour later, Li Muzhi arrived at Tang Court.

“I only had 20 million back then, and I used that 20 million to bid for a painting by Big Boss Ma at an auction. Later, Big Boss Ma found me and asked me why I spent 20 million to buy this painting. I said there was no reason. I just thought your painting was worth that much money. Big Boss Ma was very happy and sent me a text message in return, saying that I could go directly to him in Hang City in the future. This text message is worth at least 100 million.”

The three were very happy to step forward and choose their favorite LV bags.

Zhang Hu was also watching the time, and as soon as the second hand reached five minutes, he shouted, “Enough! Five minutes!”

Yang Chen got up and gave him a hug, saying, “I miss you too. Is everything okay at home?”

Xue Yinong: “Brother Chen, long time no see.”

Li Muzhi smiled and nodded, “Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing. I’m leaving.”

Yang Chen nodded and focused on driving.

Li Muzhi quickly called Li Xiaofei and said, “Hello, Xiaofei. I’ve arrived at Tang Court, but there are no empty tables or private rooms here. Let’s change to another restaurant. Where are you?”

Li Xiaofei’s expression was complicated and said, “I guess so, but I don’t think it necessarily is. Drive carefully, and I’ll tell you more when we get to the restaurant.”

Kudo Ki didn’t dare to disobey Yang Chen’s wishes and had to get out of the car reluctantly.

They were refreshed and rosy-cheeked, but Yang Chen didn’t want to get up.

For example.

Give up on that idea early.

After speaking, Li Xiaofei hung up the voice call.

Li Xiaofei: “Hello, Master Li, what’s up?”

This person’s name is Li Muzhi, chairman of Hai City Jun Guan Culture Communication Company.

These dishes add up to less than a thousand yuan. Spending this price to eat at a Michelin three-star restaurant is purely for “showing off” and is not enough to fill your stomach.

This guy just wants to play with girls and doesn’t really want to develop a relationship with them, so he saves as much as he can, as long as he can get them, he doesn’t need to care about the future.

“Today, my sister, who has been married for many years, came back and said that her life was a mess, so I spent 10 million to buy her a house in Hai City and let her settle in Hai City with her nephew, no longer returning to that remote mountain village. Whenever I feel tired, I ask myself three questions. First, is there enough money in the bank to ensure that my family has enough food and clothing? Second, is there enough money in the bank to ensure that I can buy whatever I want? Third, has the bank deposit reached 100 small goals [a playful term for 100 million yuan]. Fortunately, I have achieved the first two goals, and now I am only a short distance away from the third goal. The easiest thing in this world is to make money, but many people think that making money is as difficult as eating shit. This makes me very incomprehensible. So, I really want to find an opportunity to talk to them face-to-face about how someone can be so incompetent to think that making money is a difficult thing.”

…

Seeing him running down in such a panic, she asked, “Why are you running down in such a panic?”

But Yang Chen asked him to really invite Big Boss Ma, which was too difficult for him.

Tan Hongkai asked with a smile, “Teacher Li, these are the dishes you ordered. Please check if there are any problems.”

“Mr. Yang, Miss Li, these are the dishes you ordered. Please check if there are any problems,” Tan Hongkai said with a smile.

Yu Shishi: “Sir, you’re finally back. Shishi missed you so much.”

Li Muzhi smiled awkwardly and nodded.

At this time, Li Muzhi was completely stunned.

It costs thousands of yuan to eat something casually here. If you eat a little better or eat your fill, there’s no end to it.

When Yang Chen comes back from sweeping the tombs, they can eat.

Compared with caviar, lobster, and abalone, the hot and sour cabbage and other dishes ordered by Li Muzhi are too cheap.

It’s no exaggeration to say that Big Boss Ma doesn’t even know who he is and wouldn’t even bother with him. How could he invite him?

The helicopter landed directly on the lakeside island villa, and Yu Shishi, Maya, and Xue Yinong, who had been waiting for a long time, quickly stepped forward to greet him.

The three sat down.

Yang Chen nodded and said, “Teacher Li’s realm is really so high that it’s incomprehensible. I heard that Big Boss Ma is going to attend a financial summit on the Bund tomorrow. Can Teacher Li invite him to say a few words at your speech? I’ll go and see it tomorrow too and see the demeanor of Teacher Li and Big Boss Ma.”

Li Muzhi said with a smile, “It’s easy to say. It’s difficult for others to meet Big Boss Ma, and they need to make an appointment many days in advance. But for me, as long as he doesn’t have anything particularly important, I can call him out with one phone call.”

Li Xiaofei smiled and replied, “No! I will only date a boy like you. If I can’t find one, then I’ll stay single.”

Maya Princess comes from a noble family, and this kind of thing is like “Snowflake Beer” to her [meaning it’s very common and unremarkable].

Yang Chen: “Haha… Okay, come over and let’s talk in person.”
Xue Yinong: “Brother Chen, how is your life over there? Are you lonely?”

Manager Tan Hongkai had not seen Yang Chen for several months. When he heard his subordinates report that Mr. Yang had returned, he was so excited that he ran to Yang Chen’s usual private room without even putting on his coat.

Li Muzhi gave the same message to the “girlfriends” who had asked him to go shopping tomorrow.

Li Xiaofei quickly said, “Hang up, hang up, it’s annoying.”

For example.

Li Muzhi gave the same message to the “girlfriends” who had asked him to go shopping tomorrow.

For example.

Get rid of this idea as soon as possible.

After speaking, Li Xiaofei hung up the voice call.

Li Xiaofei: “Hello, Master Li, what’s up?”

In TV dramas, there is often a scene where someone orders a bottle of 1982 Lafite. The amount of 1982 Lafite consumed in Dragon Country every year is enough to circle the earth several times, but in reality, there are only about 100,000 bottles of 1982 Lafite in total. Now that 40 years have passed, the remaining real wine can definitely be called a treasure, and it is very rare to be able to drink a bottle.

Tan Hongkai: “Okay, I’ll arrange it right away.”

Yang Chen recognized at a glance that this guy was a very famous success guru on the Internet, and he could often see his shocking speech videos on Douyin [a popular video-sharing platform in China] and other platforms.

Yang Chen: “If you encounter something, you can’t escape, you have to face it bravely. If you keep dodging, he will keep pestering you. Answer the call and let him come over. I’ll meet him.”

Yang Chen was about to return the phone to his cousin when Li Muzhi actually sent a voice chat request.

However, those little girls lack social experience and feel that making a big deal out of this is too embarrassing. They don’t dare to make a sound, and they are afraid of his fame and dare not pester him. They can only suffer in silence and take the initiative to leave him.

“Okay! Tang Court it is, I’ll pick you up right away,” Li Muzhi said.

He quickly blinked a few times, and it did show “Big Boss Ma.”

“This gentleman is good, welcome to Tang Court. Mr. Yang, do you need to add any dishes?” Tan Hongkai asked.

Yang Chen saw her expression and knew that a boy was bothering her.

Obviously, this guy only knows that the manager of Tang Court is surnamed Tan, but he doesn’t know what Tan is called.

After stabilizing these “girlfriends,” Li Muzhi drove to Tang Court to meet Li Xiaofei with peace of mind.

Gao Min nodded and told him, “Then don’t be so anxious, and pay attention to safety when driving. If you drink, call a driver and don’t drive yourself. Do you hear me?”

Yang Chen: “Don’t talk nonsense, you’ll probably never find a second one like your brother. Is someone pursuing you?”

But this is also normal. After all, he is a success guru. If he doesn’t say that, how can he fool a bunch of fools to applaud and cheer for him?

Yang Chen: “This matter? It’s simple. I’ll have someone talk to him later. No matter how much money he wants, I’ll take down the 0.1% stake he holds. Okay?”

Under the escort of SKP security and Aegis security personnel, Yang Chen drove away from the scene.

Yang Chen nodded, and Tan Hongkai then exited the private room.

Li Muzhi said pretentiously, “I often come to Tang Court to eat, and I’m very familiar with the manager of Tang Court, Mr. Tan… Mr. Tan. He’s not in the store today, otherwise, I wouldn’t be unable to get a private room.”

He was so good at showing off in his WeChat Moments, but he ordered hot and sour cabbage at a Michelin three-star restaurant like Tang Court, which was too cheap.

Li Xiaofei lowered her head and tried to hold back her laughter. Isn’t this a fool?

I don’t know which fools are chasing after this kind of psychopath.

Li Xiaofei happily picked up the tableware and said, “Brother, I’m starting to eat.”

“These are people from the Aegis Security Group, and their clothes are all uniforms of the Aegis Security Group. So many people have been transferred here at once, I guess they must be high-level executives of the Aegis Security Group.”

“Brother, give me a hug. Muah,” Li Xiaofei said with a smile.

“Wow! Who is this? Such a big show!”

“I like it. Hehe… Thank you, brother. Do you really not want a muah?” Li Xiaofei said.

Li Muzhi smiled awkwardly and nodded, “No problem, no problem.”

“Haha… President Yang, long time no see, still as handsome as ever!” Big Boss Ma said with a smile, hugging Yang Chen.

Coincidentally, at this time, Yang Chen’s phone on the table rang.

Li Xiaofei was about to speak when the phone rang.

This is also one of the reasons why Li Muzhi dares to be so presumptuous, and even uses this as a record to show off to friends who are also success gurus.

“Haha… President Yang, don’t tease me. In front of you, I’m a poor man. Is this Teacher Li?”

Li Muzhi’s smile instantly froze, and he was at a loss for words and didn’t know how to answer.

He can talk eloquently when facing those brainless fans, but now that he is really facing a big shot, he has no confidence to speak at all.

Showing off and meeting the real deal is really tragic…
