How A Ride-Hailing Driver Comes To Dominate The World? [EN]: Chapter 399

The Arrogance of a Driver

Chapter 399

Yu Shishi and Maya quickly prepared lunch, and the three of them ate together.

Yang Chen was returning to Jingcheng [Beijing] in the afternoon, and neither Yu Shishi nor Maya had much appetite.

Maya insisted on going to Jingcheng with Yang Chen to live, not wanting to work anymore.

Yu Shishi also wanted to go to Jingcheng to work with Yang Chen, not wanting to be separated from him.

After all, they had agreed that she would be his personal housekeeper, but one in Haicheng and one in Jingcheng, how could she be a “personal” housekeeper?

In fact, Yang Chen also wanted to take one of them to Jingcheng, otherwise, he would be quite bored every day.

Taking Maya was no problem, but Yu Shishi really couldn’t go with him.

Yang Chen was going to solely fund the establishment of a company for the research and production of CNC [Computer Numerical Control] machine tools and other industrial equipment, which of course required a trusted person to help him with.

In the world, only Yu Shishi was absolutely loyal to him.

“Everyone, calm down, calm down,” Zhang Yiling said with a smile, then she asked Cheng Ailou, “What’s going on? Why are you arguing with the customers?”

Maya opened Douyin [Chinese version of TikTok] and found a food blogger she followed.

Tch, a chef using this kind of gimmick, how could he possibly make the restaurant successful?

“Make way! Make way!”

From everyone’s discussion, it was clear that only customers who spent over ten thousand could eat dishes cooked by Zhang Yiling herself.

Cheng Ailou quickly waved his hand to stop them, whispering, “What are you doing? This is our place. If you want to do something, do it somewhere else.”

Yang Chen: “No, I just ate too quickly and felt a bit burned, so I spit it out. But, I think the taste and texture are good, up to your Michelin two-star chef standards.”

Yang Chen: “It’s okay to join in the fun occasionally, no big deal. But, let’s eat in a quiet place in the future. Look at how noisy it was just now, not suitable for dining at all. I’m worried there are too many droplets in the air, and I’ll end up eating someone else’s saliva.”

The waiter quickly said with a smile, “Okay, okay. Please follow me, a table will be ready soon.”

Yang Chen called the waiter over and said, “We want a bottle of Romanée-Conti [expensive French wine], and two servings of foie gras and steak made by Miss Zhang, and a fruit salad.”

“Just a bottle of Romanée-Conti is enough to make demands.”

Zhang Yiling quickly told her assistant to watch the steak and ran over to mediate.

What does this mean?

Does he think Zhang Yiling’s foie gras is not good? No, he spit it out, so he couldn’t eat it at all!

Was it Zhang Yiling’s mistake, or is this person deliberately causing trouble?

Zhang Yiling suppressed her grievances and said, “I just don’t want you to come and disrupt the order, not that I really don’t want you to come. You are indeed the boss, but we had an agreement when we partnered up that I have the final say in the restaurant, didn’t we?”

Seeing Zhang Yiling being bullied, Cheng Ailou was not happy.

This person is Cheng Ailou, the boss of Chengfu Daguan [a real estate company], who invested in partnering with Hermes to establish this restaurant, known as Young Master Cheng.

“Don’t look at those big shots on the rich list with hundreds of billions or trillions of assets. They might not be able to keep at least one hundred million in cash in a bank at all times. Because they invest their money, they can’t just leave a hundred million in the bank.”

Actually, to put it bluntly, Cheng Ailou was just angry that Zhang Yiling rejected his confession.

I’m screwed, isn’t this trying to steal business?

“The world of the rich is incomprehensible.”

Foie gras is an indispensable dish in French cuisine. Zhang Yiling studied French cuisine, so this dish is not difficult for her at all. She can make it with her eyes closed.

Maya is Yang Chen’s woman. Regardless of Yang Chen’s current status, even if he were an ordinary person, he would definitely be unhappy to see another man staring at his woman like that.

Yang Chen shook his head and said, “No need to open it! I’m driving, I’ll take it home to drink later.”

Moreover, Yang Chen specifically requested that the factory site must be chosen near the sea, so that when the aircraft carrier starts to be built in the future, the produced parts can be directly shipped out by sea, which is convenient, fast, and safe.

Cheng Ailou: “He wanted to dig out my eyes, shouldn’t I fight back a little?”

Yang Chen: “Handsome, great skills, what girl can’t I handle? Stop looking, or I’ll dig out your eyes.”

According to Maya’s introduction, this food blogger is called Zhang Yiling, a mixed-race of Dragon Country [China] and France, who has lived in France since birth.

Maya was very unwilling. She came specifically to taste Zhang Yiling’s cooking, and she would definitely feel uncomfortable if she returned empty-handed.

So, Yang Chen nodded in agreement.

That’s why Cheng Ailou wasn’t satisfied with just collecting rent. He spent a lot of effort to get in touch with Hermes and jointly opened this pop-up restaurant.

Let’s put it this way, even if Cheng Ailou does nothing, just wanders around all day, eats, and waits to die, he still won’t be able to spend all his wealth in two lifetimes.

“Damn, is she from the Central District? She’s so beautiful. Damn it, I feel like Zhang Yiling can’t even compare to her,” Cheng Ailou thought to himself.

Zhang Yiling breathed a sigh of relief, finally getting rid of Cheng Ailou.

Yu Shishi was absolutely loyal to Yang Chen, so she would be very obedient with a little coaxing.

Although Cheng Wencai ran away, he left his son Chengfu Daguan and other properties, conservatively estimated to be worth 50 billion.

Yu Shishi was recording Yang Chen’s requirements very carefully, afraid of missing even one detail.

Yang Chen waved to the waiter and asked, “Hello, do you have any seats available now?”

“Acting like no one can afford it, I just can’t drink because I have to drive.”

Cheng Ailou was furious and said, “What do you think this place is? You can do it if you want, and not do it if you don’t want to? We signed a contract, are you treating the law as a joke? Honestly cook, straighten out your position, learn how to be a person, understand?”

However, Yang Chen’s body has been modified by the system, and his sense of taste is much more sensitive than ordinary people. Even if there is only a slight difference, he can clearly feel it.

Yang Chen glanced at the waiter.

Everyone showed gossipy smiles, it seemed that this cool guy was rejected.

“Phew…”

There happened to be no red wine at home, so he packed a bottle to take home and drink slowly.

Maya: “Hehe… okay.”

After all, she is a princess from a wealthy family, so she is not someone who can work peacefully.

Maya jumped up happily and quickly went upstairs to pack her things.

Of course, this task had to be given to her, after all, it involved some high-end technology.

After 2016, many real estate developers realized the crisis, selling what should be sold and running away. Cheng Wencai also ran away at that time.

He took a bite and spit it out, and the scene instantly became quiet.

Yang Chen pulled Maya back and said, “Let me ask if we can pay extra for a table.”

This was so embarrassing, the boss of Chengfu Daguan was actually rejected in public.

But these tall and strong bodyguards were not easy to deal with, they looked like they could fight.

In the evening, Yang Chen and Maya returned to their home in Yida Huafu, Jingcheng.

But Yang Chen was not afraid.

Maya, who came from a wealthy family, didn’t think paying extra was a waste. Her living environment told her that problems that can be solved with money are not problems.

“Don’t block the way! The restaurant owner is here!”

“This is a black gold card from Haicheng Bank, only customers with an account balance of no less than 100 million all year round can have it.”

“Mr. Ma, thank you for your support. This lobster platter is ready, please try it with your friends and see how it tastes,” Zhang Yiling said very politely.

The waiter shook his head and said, “No! So many people are waiting, just wait slowly.”

Soon, Zhang Yiling made two servings of pan-fried foie gras and personally brought them to Yang Chen and Maya.

Ordinary people might worry about not being able to handle Cheng Ailou and dare not say anything.

“Sir, Madam, please try it and give me some feedback and suggestions,” Zhang Yiling said politely.

“Damn, so realistic.”

Originally, she wanted to make a big splash in Dragon Country and create a three-star restaurant.

If it were an ordinary person, they probably wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between her Michelin two-star chef skills and the three-star chef skills of Tang Court [a high-end restaurant].

Zhang Yiling heard that a big customer wanted to order food, so she quickly ran over.

The diners waiting nearby started to discuss again.

Soon, Yang Chen brought Maya to the restaurant.

“Xiao Ling, this is for you,” Cheng Ailou said with a smile.

“Haha…”

“Chen, I want to eat at this restaurant. I’m her fan, I’ve been following her for a long time,” Maya said.

The waiter nodded and quickly packed the wine, and the cashier came over with the POS machine.

Zhang Yiling quickly said, “President Cheng, please leave quickly. Don’t come over here if you have nothing to do in the future, it will disrupt the order of the store.”

The waiter was stunned for a moment, then nodded and put the wine away.

There was no way, when opening a business, of course, priority should be given to big customers, it was the same everywhere.

Ordinary people with some spare money want to do some small business, let alone this level of rich people?

The restaurant has now been selected as a Michelin two-star restaurant, and it is estimated that it will be promoted to three-star by the end of the year or early next year.

From 1997 to 2016 was the most glorious period of the Cheng family. Cheng Wencai relied on his many real estate companies to firmly occupy the top ten positions on the rich list.

Maya nodded and said, “I will learn to cook as soon as possible, give me some time.”

Packing Romanée-Conti and bringing bodyguards, it was obvious that he was not an ordinary person.

After Yang Chen finished speaking about business, Maya began to pester him to take her to Jingcheng.

At this time, Zhang Yiling was live-streaming her cooking, and her assistant was holding the phone to film next to her, she was wholeheartedly cooking.

“Didn’t I tell you, if you stare at my girlfriend again, I’ll dig out your eyes?” Yang Chen said unceremoniously.

The chef couldn’t stand the customers ruining the dishes he made, it was the greatest humiliation.

Cheng Ailou’s father was called Cheng Wencai, and he had now become a citizen of Singapore.

Although the voices of the onlookers were very small, they were still heard by Cheng Ailou.

“Damn, I thought only love was where rich people get married and poor people witness it. I didn’t expect eating to be the same, poor people can only witness rich people eating dishes made by beautiful women.”

Cheng Ailou gave the bodyguard a look, and one of the bodyguards immediately followed him out.

Hearing Zhang Yiling say this again, Cheng Ailou became even more angry.

Now she felt a little discouraged and didn’t want to do anything.

If Zhang Yiling’s skills were really good, Yang Chen would have nothing to say.

“So, he ordered a bottle of Romanée-Conti specifically to get a seat?”

Zhang Yiling’s face changed, and she quickly asked, “Sir, what do you mean? Is my foie gras not delicious?”

Mr. Ma and his group spent more than 200,000 on red wine alone, so Zhang Yiling naturally had to treat them with special care.

Yu Shishi pouted and said, “Maya is gone too, I’m the only one living here, I’ll be very scared.”

Yang Chen put his arm around Maya and came to the restaurant, which was really crowded.

Seeing that several old men had ideas about the girl he liked, Cheng Ailou immediately went up.

A young man with a buzz cut and dyed yellow hair walked over with flowers in his hands, and four bodyguards cleared the way for him, looking very cool.

Walking out of the restaurant, Maya said apologetically, “Chen, I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have come to this kind of place to join in the fun. I won’t do this again in the future.”

“Why do I feel like she’s just embarrassed to accept it in front of so many people? I don’t believe that any girl can reject the boss of Chengfu Daguan.”

Yang Chen quickly put his arm around Maya and protected her in his arms.

The diners next to him showed envious and jealous eyes.

Zhang Yiling smiled reluctantly, then turned around and went back to continue making steak and salad.

“Wow, what a handsome young man,” Zhang Yiling exclaimed in her heart.

Cheng Ailou said with an embarrassed expression, trying to justify himself: “You’re so afraid of being seen, just hide at home and don’t come out. You came out and you’re still afraid of being seen?”

But if he wanted to do business, it would be hard to say, he might lose all his money in a few years.

“This foreign beauty is too good at retorting.”

“Make sure you know your identity, I’m the boss, you’re the employee, you’re telling me not to come over? Do you think you’re qualified to tell me not to come over?” Cheng Ailou said angrily.

Cheng Ailou’s bodyguards were not happy and were about to attack.

The diners quickly retreated and kept quiet.

“Which country is she from? Is she from the Central District?”

The foie gras that Yang Chen ate was made by Michelin three-star chefs, so his mouth would naturally be picky.

Yang Chen was a little tired, and it was now dinner time.

Maya: “But I don’t know how. I always wash the vegetables, and Shishi cooks.”

The waiters in high-end restaurants all have a kind of arrogance.

“Forget it, let’s eat out,” Yang Chen said.

Yang Chen laughed and went out with Maya in his arms.

Zhang Yiling nodded and said, “No problem! I’ll make it for you right away.”

She was particularly interested in food, and at the age of 8, she began to learn cooking from Michelin three-star chef Alain Passard.

Across the villa’s balcony, Xue Yinong looked at the car leaving with reluctance.

These two people repeatedly contradicted him, and he must teach them a lesson today.

The waiter brought the Romanée-Conti and asked, “Sir, would you like to open it now?”

Maya didn’t speak, took Yang Chen’s arm, and silently turned to leave.

With her by his side, Yang Chen’s life would not be so boring.

Now they knew why Yang Chen dared to be so arrogant, it turned out that he was also carrying bodyguards.

The two quickly got in the car and went home.

At this time, Prince Lansheed, who was far away in Jinbai [unidentified location], received a call.

“Hello, Your Royal Highness, we saw Princess Maya in Dragon Country. She is now in Jingcheng, Dragon Country, and appeared in Ai. Ling restaurant just now. We don’t know where she went now.”

Lansheed: “You immediately go to Jingcheng, Dragon Country to find her, I will arrange the work at hand as soon as possible, and then rush over. This time, you must catch her for me, otherwise, prepare to come back and feed my tigers!”
