How A Ride-Hailing Driver Comes To Dominate The World? [EN]: Chapter 609

It was just as Yang Chen thought. She wasn’t simply unable to find a better suitor, so she wanted to come back and continue to torment her ex-husband. No, it was worse.

He hadn’t expected that it was because her ex-husband had won the lottery for 18 million [RMB, approximately $2.5 million USD], and she wanted to come back and enjoy the good life.

“Madam, why make so many excuses when you’re just here for your ex-husband’s 18 million? I honestly thought you were just coming back because you couldn’t find another suitor, but it turns out it’s for the money. Frankly, if your ex agrees to remarry you, he doesn’t deserve to be called a man, and all men will look down on him,” Yang Chen said bluntly.

The young woman retorted, “What do you mean by that? I suffered so much with him when he had nothing, and now that he has money, can’t I come back and enjoy it? Am I only fit to suffer with him, not to enjoy the rewards? What kind of twisted logic is that?”

Yang Chen countered, “If you hadn’t divorced him, you would be enjoying it with him now that he’s rich. But the problem is you ran away when he was poor, and now you want to come back when he’s rich. What makes you think you deserve that? You weren’t there for the hard times, so who do you think you are now that he’s rich?”

The young woman argued, “You men are so ridiculous. You don’t have the ability to give women a better life, but you don’t want them to divorce.”

Yang Chen scoffed, “Who’s stopping you from divorcing? Didn’t you already divorce? So why are you shamelessly coming back to beg him to remarry you now that he’s rich?”

The young woman insisted, “He’s rich now, so he meets my requirements. Besides, we have a child together. For the sake of the child’s healthy development, we should remarry. After all, the original spouse is always the best.”

Damn, Yang Chen didn’t even want to waste his breath on her anymore.

People like her will always think their twisted values are correct, and no amount of reasoning will ever work.

After a while, Yang Chen dropped her off at her destination.

It was downstairs in a six-story apartment building facing the street. Yang Chen, curious to see what she would do, pulled over and turned off the engine to watch the show.

The woman held up a cardboard sign and shouted, “Liu Lei, let’s remarry for the sake of our child! If you don’t come out to see me, I’ll stay here until I die!”

At that moment, a child’s head popped out from the third-floor balcony. He looked downstairs and quickly turned back to shout, “Dad, it’s Mom! Mom’s here again! Dad, I want Mom to come home. I want Mom!”

A man poked his head out to take a look, then quickly retreated, picked up the child, and closed the balcony door.

Seeing this, the young woman knelt down directly and continued to shout: “Husband, I really know I was wrong, let’s remarry, please. The child needs a mother, you can’t be so cruel to the child! I’m kneeling for you, I beg you!”

More and more people gathered around, and the older aunties and grandmas started to gossip.

“This woman is so shameless. She disliked the man for being poor and insisted on getting a divorce, not even wanting the child. Now she says she wants to remarry for the sake of the child.”

“I remember the man even knelt down and begged her not to divorce him, to hold on for the sake of the child, who was still young. He said he would work hard to earn more money, but she still insisted on divorcing.”

“Don’t you all know? I heard that the man won the lottery, 18 million. Isn’t it obvious that she’s here for the money? What ‘the child needs a mother,’ why didn’t she say that when she was so determined to divorce? It’s all just an excuse.”

“So shameless, bringing shame to all women.”

“To be a Dragon Country [China] woman at the same time as a woman like this is a disgrace!”

…

Good heavens, the aunties and grandmas really didn’t leave her any face, stripping her bare with their words, not even leaving her any dignity.

But she didn’t care at all and continued to kneel.

After all, her ex-husband has 18 million. As long as she can successfully remarry him, what is this little bit of shame?

In the future, she’ll be enjoying brand-name bags, clothes, and cosmetics, and eating in high-end restaurants. What does this kneeling even matter?

Seeing that her ex-husband didn’t respond, the young woman decided to escalate things.

She took the cardboard and lay down in the middle of the road, holding the cardboard up with both hands and showing it to oncoming traffic.

Since this road is a one-way street, her lying in the middle like this, plus the cars parked on the side, prevented cars from both directions from passing.

The drivers on both sides were anxious and kept honking their horns to remind her to move, and some with bad tempers even got out of their cars to scold her.

But!

She didn’t panic at all and said, “If my husband doesn’t come down and agree to remarry me, I will never get up.”

The drivers were getting increasingly impatient.

“With you acting like this, I’d look down on your husband if he remarried you!”

“What decent person could stand a woman like you! Aren’t you ashamed!”

“Get up quickly, I’m in a hurry to meet a client. I only have half an hour, and you can’t afford the consequences of delaying my meeting with him!”

…

The young woman retorted, “It’s okay for me to get up, but you have to go to apartment 301 and call Liu Lei down to remarry me. Otherwise, you can just run over me, but I won’t get up anyway!”

Faced with this kind of rogue behavior, the drivers were helpless.

After scolding her a few times, they could only look up and shout Liu Lei’s name.

Liu Lei finally couldn’t bear it anymore and came downstairs with his child.

The child was about four or five years old, indeed at the age when he needed his mother the most.

He probably didn’t fully understand his mother’s reasons for insisting on the divorce, he only knew that the person lying on the road was his mother, and he ran over without hesitation to hug her and cry.

The ex-husband quickly apologized to the drivers and then pulled the young woman upstairs.

Sure enough, the child is a man’s weakness, and she will probably succeed.

Yang Chen shook his head helplessly. Letting this kind of woman get her way is an insult to all men.

He accepted the next order and continued to pick up passengers.

This order’s pick-up point was the Heping Hotel. Yang Chen suspected that the passenger had made a mistake in the location. How could someone who can afford to eat here not have a car?

Yang Chen arrived at the Heping Hotel and called the passenger.

The passenger was a drunken girl who stumbled and fell after taking only two steps.

Yang Chen quickly got out of the car to help her up and asked, “Madam, are you okay?”

The girl looked up at Yang Chen and said with a smile, “Wow, the driver is so handsome. But why do you have two heads? Hehehe…”

Yang Chen suggested, “Do you have a friend in the hotel? I think it would be safer for her to come out and see you off.”

The girl slurred, “Yes, but he’s a 渣男 (zhā nán, scumbag), and he’s about to marry another girl. Do you know that I’ve had three abortions for him? Just because I’m not a 白富美 (bái fù měi, fair-skinned, rich, and beautiful), he doesn’t want to marry me. Do you think he’s a 渣男 (zhā nán, scumbag)?”

Yang Chen replied, “Yes! But you’re not exactly a saint either! The first time can be considered youthful ignorance, but you didn’t run away the second time, and there was even a third time. Do you think you’re acting like a normal person?”

The girl insisted, “But I really love him. I’m willing to do anything for him, as long as I can be with him forever. But now he’s going to marry someone else, what should I do?”

Yang Chen stated, “A man who makes you have three abortions will never marry you. He’s just using you as a tool for venting. You’re just wishfully thinking that you have to be with him? Is he very rich?”

The girl nodded.

Damn!

That makes sense.

At this moment, a not-so-familiar voice called out.

“What are you doing? Chao! It’s you!”

Yang Chen turned his head to look and saw that it was Li Yingjie. He was accompanied by several people, who all looked like they had been drinking.

The girl immediately got up and staggered towards Li Yingjie, but was stopped by a middle-aged woman with short, neat hair. She was Li Yingjie’s mother, Li Lianxiu.

Li Lianxiu said very displeased, “Didn’t I warn you to stay away from my son? Are you ignoring my words? Do you really want me to find someone to teach you a lesson before you behave?”

The girl cried and said, “I really love Yingjie. I’ve had three abortions for him and invested so much time and emotion. You can’t just break us up like this!”

Li Lianxiu sneered and said, “That’s your own fault for being so cheap! You still don’t understand the situation after having three abortions? If Yingjie really liked you, he would have married you the first time you got pregnant. You can’t even figure out your own status and position, what’s the use of crying now? Get out of here and stop pestering my son, or I’ll get rough with you!”

Li Yingjie clearly didn’t care about the girl, he didn’t even acknowledge her.

Li Yingjie asked Yang Chen angrily, “How do you know her?”

Yang Chen replied, “I drive a ride-hailing car, and she called my car. You’re really an animal, making someone have three abortions and not marrying her. President Li, your family’s behavior is truly appalling.”

Li Lianxiu narrowed her eyes slightly and asked, “Who are you? How dare you criticize my family’s behavior?”

Li Yingjie sneered, “Mom, he’s the 快递员 (kuài dì yuán, delivery guy) who’s been seeing Wu Caiyi. I didn’t expect him to also work part-time as a ride-hailing driver. It seems like he’s so poor that he has to work two jobs a day. But, you were quite willing to spend money to hire bodyguards from Starlight Defense to protect you. So now the question is, do you have money to hire them again? If you don’t have money to hire them again, I’ll have someone beat you up.”

Yang Chen retorted, “Is it possible that Starlight Defense is mine? I don’t need to spend money to call them over.”

Li Yingjie scoffed, “What are you pretending to be? Do you think you’re Boss Yang!”

Yang Chen stated, “I am Boss Yang, is that not allowed? Who says I can’t be Boss Yang?”

Li Lianxiu said, “It’s rumored that Boss Yang occasionally drives a ride-hailing car, but it’s never been said that he’s so busy delivering 快递 (kuài dì, packages) during the day and driving a ride-hailing car at night. It’s impossible for him to have so much time to waste on this kind of thing. Stop pretending to be Boss Yang. Young man, I’ve remembered you. We have important guests to meet tomorrow, and we don’t want to cause trouble tonight. After tomorrow, we’ll slowly deal with you. And Wu’s girl, I’ll take care of her too. You’ve harmed her and the Wu family. Do you understand?”

Yang Chen replied, “Hehe… I understand, then see you tomorrow. Madam, do you still want to take the ride?”

Before the girl could respond,

Li Lianxiu pushed her to the ground and left aggressively with her people.

Li Yingjie said with a mocking face, “Tomorrow we will see Huang Hongsen and Boss Yang. At that time, our Li family will be able to cooperate with the Starlight Group. I’ll make it so you can’t even hire bodyguards from Starlight Defense even if you spend money. Haha…”

Li Yingjie walked away arrogantly, without even looking at the girl lying on the ground.

Yang Chen walked over to help the girl up and said, “Now you see the true colors of their family, right? Are you giving up?”

The girl shook her head and said, “I still want to marry him. I’ve invested so much in him. If we break up like this, not only will he get off easy, but all my previous time and emotions will be wasted. I’m 30 years old, and I don’t have time to wait for the next relationship.”

Damn!

Yang Chen really didn’t know whether to call her a 傻逼 (shǎ bī, idiot) or persistent.

She still wants to marry him in this situation!

Could it still be for the money?

“If he becomes poor and has no money, would you still be willing to marry him?” Yang Chen asked.

The girl nodded and said, “Yes!”

Yang Chen declared, “Okay! I really want to see how deep your love for him is! Let’s go, I’ll take you home first. Leave me your phone number, and I’ll call you tomorrow. You come to me, and I’ll let you see with your own eyes how Li Yingjie becomes a poor man.”

The girl looked at Yang Chen with a puzzled expression and asked, “Really? Can you make him a poor man?”

Yang Chen affirmed, “Of course! Just watch tomorrow.”

Yang Chen helped the girl into the car and took her home.

By the time he dropped her off at home, it was almost ten o’clock.

Yang Chen stopped working and went home to sleep.

When he got home, Xue Yinong was chatting with Yu Shishi.

Yang Chen greeted, “Xiao Nong, you’re here too.”

Xue Yinong explained, “I’m going to the capital tomorrow, so I came over to ask if you have anything you want me to relay.”

Yang Chen replied, “There’s nothing to tell you. Attend the bronze head donation ceremony on my behalf and say a few official platitudes. You’re good at that.”

Xue Yinong said, “Okay! If you don’t have anything special to tell me, I’ll just do whatever I want. Then I’ll go back, do you want to send me off?”

Aiya, the girl has already asked, it would hurt her feelings if I didn’t send her off.

Yang Chen smiled and nodded, saying, “Let’s go, I’ll send you back.”

Yang Chen sent Xue Yinong out, and the two kissed as soon as they got to the bridge.

After kissing for a few minutes, Xue Yinong whispered, “Sleep at my place tonight.”

Yang Chen suggested, “Let’s go sit for a while.”

Xue Yinong smiled and nodded, saying, “Okay! Let’s go!”

Yang Chen followed Xue Yinong back to her house, and Aunt Lan tactfully returned to her room.

“The living room is a bit cold, let’s go sit in my bedroom,” Xue Yinong said with a smile.

Yang Chen nodded and followed Xue Yinong to the bedroom.

Xue Yinong didn’t even turn on the lights, anyway, “chatting” doesn’t need lights.

…

Early the next morning, Liu Naixin called Yang Chen.

“Hello, President Yang, are you coming today?” Liu Naixin asked.

Yang Chen replied, “Of course, I haven’t had enough yet.”

There are still four special tasks that haven’t been completed, so I have to continue.

Liu Naixin asked, “Okay. Have you had breakfast? What do you want to eat? Do you need me to bring you something?”

Yang Chen answered, “Thank you, I’ve already eaten, you don’t need to bring me anything. I’m leaving now, see you later.”

Liu Naixin said, “Okay, see you later.”

Soon, Yang Chen arrived at the First Squadron.

However, they didn’t immediately set off to film today’s legal education program, but watched the edited content of yesterday’s filming.

Squadron Leader Li Rongke said happily, “President Yang, I didn’t expect that your first day of legal education would help the criminal police solve such a big case. Those people not only hid controlled weapons, but were also suspected of 강간 (gāng jiān, rape), robbery, and theft. There are so many crimes. This is a big case, and the team must give you a commendation and praise later.”

Yang Chen certainly didn’t care about these honors, but Liu Naixin especially needed this credit and honor. If the legal education program she was in charge of had good results, she would definitely become a key newcomer to be cultivated.

Yang Chen said, “Haha… Give all the credit to Officer Liu, I’m just a temporary worker, I don’t need the credit.”

Li Rongke responded, “Haha… Her credit will be remembered, and President Yang’s credit must also be remembered. I feel that the production is quite good, and it should be ready to upload. What does President Yang think?”

Yang Chen agreed, “Yes, it can be uploaded. I’ll send a message to the heads of those Douyin [TikTok] platforms and ask them to promote the traffic for the works posted by our account.”

Li Rongke thanked him, “Haha… Thank you, President Yang. With your help, it’s hard for our program not to be popular.”

Yang Chen smiled and sent messages to the heads of those platforms.

With Yang Chen personally giving the order, the major platforms naturally had to comply.

As soon as the video was uploaded, the major platforms immediately pushed it to users.

Yang Chen and Liu Naixin set off with their equipment to find today’s filming location.

The two were discussing which section of the road to look for cases when an electric tricycle whizzed past in front of them.

It is illegal for electric tricycles to drive in the motor vehicle lane. The car was also full of beer, and the height even exceeded the height of the car body. The most serious thing was that there was also a person squatting on the beer.

This is a typical violation of traffic laws. Liu Naixin quickly said to Yang Chen, “President Yang, quickly intercept them.”

Yang Chen nodded, accelerated to catch up with the electric tricycle, and Liu Naixin quickly showed her credentials to the tricycle driver and asked him to immediately merge into the non-motor vehicle lane, pull over, and wait for processing.

The tricycle driver quickly found an opportunity to merge into the non-motor vehicle lane, pulled over, and waited for processing.

Soon, Yang Chen and Liu Naixin quickly walked over.

The tricycle driver uncle might be a little nervous, and took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth.

Yang Chen’s side had already started filming, and smoking in front of the camera would definitely have a bad impact. If children saw the video, it might mislead them.

Liu Naixin quickly said, “Uncle, you’re still smoking?”

Uncle: “Yes, smoking, at least a pack a day.”

Liu Naixin: “I mean, in this situation, you’re still smoking?”

Uncle “suddenly realized” and said, “Oh, I understand.”

Liu Naixin: “It’s good that you understand.”

The uncle quickly took out a cigarette and handed it to Liu Naixin, saying, “Comrade police, have one.”

Liu Naixin said speechlessly, “Why would I have one? You still said you understood!”

The uncle turned to look at Yang Chen, who was filming, and instantly had another “suddenly realized” look, saying, “Understood, understood. This male comrade, have one, have one, sorry, my mistake.”

Yang Chen: “Thank you, I don’t smoke.”

Liu Naixin: “Uncle, you still don’t understand. Let’s not talk about anything else, are you smoking in front of your own child? He doesn’t look very old, maybe a teenager?”

Uncle: “I can’t let him smoke! If he dares to smoke, I’ll whip him with a belt! Children must learn well and not smoke or drink.”

Liu Naixin was really going crazy with the uncle, and said, “You also know that you can’t let your child smoke, so why are you smoking in front of us?”

The uncle looked embarrassed, and then handed the whole pack of cigarettes to Liu Naixin, saying, “I only brought one pack, I’ll give it all to you, is that okay? We are all hardworking workers, don’t be too greedy.”

Liu Naixin felt a little dizzy and said, “Why can’t I explain it to you? What I mean is, don’t smoke in public places, especially since we are traffic police and are still filming the legal education process, you can’t smoke even more. Do you understand?”

Uncle: “Oh, is that what you mean? I thought you wanted to ask me for a cigarette.”

Liu Naixin: “Uncle, can your tricycle be loaded like this?”

Uncle: “Yes! It can only be loaded this much, no more can be loaded.”

Yang Chen was about to lose it. Why is this uncle’s brain circuit different from ordinary people?

Liu Naixin: “Uncle, what I mean is, can your tricycle be loaded with so much cargo? It’s already sticking out of the car body, it’s too dangerous, you know? And what kind of road are you on?”

Uncle: “I’m familiar with this road, I take it every day, Century Avenue.”

Liu Naixin: “Uncle, I’m really going to be driven crazy by you. Where are you going?”

Uncle: “Going to Zhangjiang Bridge.”

Liu Naixin: “Ah? Zhangjiang Bridge is so far away. But this is an electric tricycle, it doesn’t have a motor vehicle license plate, what kind of road should you be on?”

Uncle: “Walking on Century Avenue, didn’t I tell you?”

Liu Naixin immediately pinched her philtrum. Yang Chen was already trying hard to hold back his laughter, but when he saw her like this, he couldn’t hold it back anymore and laughed.

The uncle said innocently, “I’m supposed to be walking on Century Avenue, I didn’t say anything wrong.”

Liu Naixin: “Uncle, I’m really impressed by you. Forget it, I won’t guide you, I’ll just say it directly. What I mean is, your electric tricycle is not a motor vehicle, so you shouldn’t be on the motor vehicle lane, you should be on this non-motor vehicle lane. Do you understand?”

Uncle: “Oh, is that what you mean? The non-motor vehicle lane is too congested, I can’t even run, when will I get to Zhangjiang Bridge?”

Liu Naixin: “But you still have to abide by the traffic laws. And the road conditions weren’t very good just now, we had to slow down while driving, but you were driving the tricycle faster than us. That’s too dangerous. Besides, your child is still in the car. Kid, aren’t you afraid squatting up there? I just saw the beer shaking, it’s too dangerous.”

The kid looked about thirteen or fourteen years old, and his personality was also relatively outgoing. He laughed and said, “Police sister, you don’t have to worry, I practice every day, this little thing is nothing.”

Liu Naixin: “Oh, you’ve practiced?”

Kid: “Yes! I like Bruce Lee the most, I watch his movies on weekends and holidays, and I’ve now practiced waist-horse unity, free and easy movement, and a stable lower body. So, don’t look at the beer shaking so much, I’m not flustered at all squatting on it.”

Liu Naixin: “Haha… So amazing! But, sister is flustered. Get down quickly, if you can’t, squeeze in the front with your dad, and don’t come out with your dad to deliver goods in the future. This kind of car can’t carry people when it’s full of goods.”

The kid waved his hand to signal Liu Naixin to get out of the way.

Liu Naixin asked as she smiled and backed away, “What are you doing? Come down properly, don’t jump, you’ll fall down later.”

Kid: “Police sister, I’ll show you the results of my hard work.”

Uncle: “Haha… The kid is naughty, but it’s okay, he’s very agile.”

Liu Naixin: “Be careful.”

The kid smiled wickedly, and suddenly felt like Long Aotian [a Mary Sue-like character] had possessed him.

He supported the car body with his right hand, and then did a dashing side flip to get out of the car.

But he didn’t handle the landing well, and the whole person fell directly to the ground, and then his head hit the car body.

“Dong!”

A loud impact sound came, and the kid went straight after landing.
