How A Ride-Hailing Driver Comes To Dominate The World? [EN]: Chapter 103

103. Everyone, please be the judge. Is this bad review my fault? What if I, a ride-hailing driver, have a little money?

The woman in the leopard-print outfit held up a JK [Japanese schoolgirl] short skirt set and asked, “Handsome, do you think I look good in this?”

Yang Chen gripped the door handle and said, “Not bad! Actually, I think your leopard-print mini skirt is also good. Do you have anything to bring down? I’ll grab it for you now.”

The woman smiled and said, “Actually, there’s nothing to bring down. I just wanted you to come up and see which outfit you liked. You like this leopard-print mini skirt, right?”

*Damn, she’s pretty direct.*

Yang Chen quickly replied, “I don’t have much taste, so it’s hard to say. You should decide for yourself. I’ll wait for you in the car. Hurry up.”

With that, Yang Chen quickly opened the door and hurried downstairs.

After a few minutes, the woman came down, holding her phone, seemingly live-streaming.

She got right into the passenger seat and said with a smile, “Handsome, what’s your name? I’m Qiqi.”

“My surname is Yang,” Yang Chen replied.

He started the car and headed towards the destination.

It was already 6:30 PM, peak rush hour.

Traffic was slow, and before he knew it, darkness had fallen.

This was the Jiading North District, relatively desolate compared to the city center.

Especially after passing the last stop of Metro Line 11, it became even more so.

Qiqi, who hadn’t spoken for a while, finally spoke up.

“Brother Yang, how long do you usually drive every day?” she asked.

Yang Chen answered truthfully, “It’s not fixed, no set time. Sometimes I have to drive until dawn.”

Qiqi immediately asked, “Then you drive so late every day, you definitely don’t have a girlfriend, right?”

“No, I don’t have time for that,” Yang Chen said with a smile.

Qiqi suddenly put her hand on Yang Chen’s thigh and asked, “Then how do you, you know, take care of things? You’re at an age where your needs are very strong. You can’t just take care of it yourself every day, right?”

*Damn, am I that young? And is this really something we should be talking about?*

Yang Chen quickly moved his leg away and said, “Hey, I’m driving, don’t mess around. I think we should talk about poetry and the meaning of life. Let’s not get too personal.”

Qiqi chuckled, deliberately pulled down her clothes a little, and then hiked up her skirt.

“Okay then. How long until we get there?” she asked.

Yang Chen glanced at the navigation and replied, “About two minutes. It’s just ahead.”

Qiqi nodded and fiddled with her phone.

Her live-stream chat was blowing up with comments.

“Qiqi, you’re not doing so well. You haven’t hooked him yet!”

“I’ll give you a sports car if you seal the deal. Hurry up, I want to see what it’s like to do a driver who understands philosophy.”

“If you can’t handle him, we’ll unsubscribe.”

…

Qiqi looked at the comments and quickly said, “Oh, handsome, I’m sorry, I don’t have any money on my phone.”

Yang Chen quickly said, “Cash is fine too.”

Qiqi tossed her hair and said, “Who carries cash these days? Look, I have money on my phone, but I didn’t bring cash. How am I going to pay you the fare?”

Yang Chen stopped at the destination shown on the navigation and said, “Forget it, it’s on me. Grab your stuff and get out of the car.”

As a young adult, Yang Chen had seen enough adult content to know what was going on.

He’d seen this kind of scene in movies and knew what Qiqi was trying to do.

He chalked it up to bad luck, a wasted trip.

Qiqi immediately replied, “That won’t do. I’m not the kind of person who takes advantage of others. Seeing that you’re quite handsome and strong, and you don’t have a girlfriend, I’ll just let you have me. What do you think?”

As she said that, Qiqi reached out to touch Yang Chen.

Yang Chen quickly unbuckled his seat belt and got out of the car, pointing at her and saying, “Don’t mess around! I have a camera in my car. Your every move is being recorded.”

Qiqi covered her mouth and smiled, saying, “Oh, so it’s because there’s a camera in the car. I understand.”

She got out of the car with her phone.

Next to them was a factory. It wasn’t safe at all.

Qiqi pointed to the bushes nearby and said, “Brother Yang, it’s safe in there. What do you think?”

Yang Chen nodded and said, “I think it’s pretty safe too. You go over there and wait for me. I’ll park the car.”

Qiqi giggled and said, “Got it. I’ll go first. Hurry up.”

She walked towards the bushes with her phone.

Chat comments:

“666 [internet slang for awesome], finally succeeded.”

“Not bad, a sports car is on its way. We’ll see your performance later. If you perform well, there will be more gifts.”

“As expected, no driver can escape your clutches.”

…

Qiqi said with a smug look, “Of course, brothers, take a look at who I am. How could I fail? Brothers, send some gifts, and I’ll give you some good benefits later.”

At that moment, Qiqi heard the sound of a car driving away behind her.

She turned around and saw Yang Chen driving away.

“Hey, come back! Come back! You bastard! You dog man! Come back!” Qiqi shouted as she ran.

The perverts in the live-stream chat realized something was wrong and started to complain.

“What’s going on? Why did he run away?”

“Qiqi, are you even capable? Are you tricking us out of gifts?”

“Damn! If you play like this, we’re all leaving.”

“There are actually people who aren’t tempted. I can’t stand it even through the phone screen, but he can actually resist it in person.”

“Give him a bad review. This is unacceptable! It’s too insulting. He doesn’t even want it when it’s offered to him.”

…

Yang Chen floored it and drove far away before letting up. He almost lost his reputation.

He remembered driver Zhang He telling him about picking up this kind of streamer, and Yang Chen joked about how he always managed to pick up these kinds of people. He hadn’t expected to encounter one himself.

Thinking about it, something didn’t seem right. There was definitely nothing good about coming to such a remote and desolate area of Jiading North District so late at night.

He was still inexperienced. He had to be more careful in the future. He couldn’t accept orders in these remote areas.

At that moment, the DiDi [Chinese ride-hailing app] platform notified Yang Chen that he had received a bad review.

“Garbage driver, actually wanted me to pay the fare with my body. He’s so shameless. Doesn’t the DiDi platform care about these rogue drivers?”

Subsequently, the system issued a reminder.

“Congratulations to the host for receiving a bad review. The system rewards the host with 25% equity in the luxury brand Louiways, making him the second-largest shareholder of the group and the largest individual shareholder. The equity transfer documents will be sent to the host’s home tomorrow. Please pay attention to checking them.”

The Louiways Group has several sub-brands, one of which is Misia, where Wang Jiayi works.

The brand can be traced back to 1840 when a Frenchman named Markuta Louis founded a shoe workshop specializing in custom-made high-end leather shoes for wealthy people.

After decades of development, Louis II founded the Louiways Group, starting the brand’s magnificent history.

In 2003, the world’s number one luxury brand giant, the French Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton Group, the parent company of luxury brands such as LV, invested heavily in acquiring the Louiways Group.

The reason why Yang Chen is the second-largest shareholder but also the largest individual shareholder is because of this.

LVMH Group holds 51% of the equity in Louiways Group, but it is a company, not an individual.

Therefore, Yang Chen, with a 25% shareholding, became the largest individual shareholder.

Yang Chen should be happy to receive such a big reward.

But this bad review was going to cost him his livelihood.

If other passengers saw this review, they would definitely think that Yang Chen was a perverted driver, and no one would dare to ride in his car.

This wouldn’t do. He had to find a way to delete it.
