You Hired a Secretary as a Ride-Hailing Driver? (Subscription Requested)

The Bibi [A Chinese ride-hailing service] platform is very concerned about Yang Chen’s matter, because if it’s handled well, it will be another opportunity to promote the platform’s positive image.

Bibi contacted the popular program “Xiaoli is Here to Help” on Haicheng Life Channel. The producers expressed great interest after hearing the story.

If this kind of thing is shared on platforms like Douyin [TikTok’s Chinese counterpart], it will definitely attract a lot of attention.

The two parties immediately agreed to collaborate, and the host, Zhang Xiaoli, immediately took the photographer and others to Bibi headquarters to interview Yang Chen.

The interview was filmed in three locations: Bibi headquarters, the traffic police brigade, and the hospital.

Yang Chen first told the story roughly at Bibi headquarters, then went to the traffic police brigade to inquire about how to resolve the issue, and finally went to the hospital to get the child’s father’s phone number and call him.

This way, the whole story could be explained clearly.

Soon, the call connected.

Zhang Xiaoli stated her identity, and the other party exploded as soon as he heard it, cursing: “Are you done yet? Is there any humanity left? The police harassed me, then the customer service harassed me, and now the reporters are harassing me. My child has a high fever, can you understand our feelings?”

Zhang Xiaoli quickly explained: “Sir, please don’t get excited. We understand your current mood very well, and we also hope that your child recovers soon. But Master Yang ran three red lights to get you to the hospital, and he is now facing a serious problem of having 18 points deducted from his license. He is a ride-hailing driver. If these 18 points are deducted, how will he drive and make a living? Does it mean he won’t be able to drive for the next year? Can you understand his situation?”

Male passenger: “I can understand! But he can’t harass me like this! I said I don’t have time at work, and I’ll talk about it when I have time. But he just doesn’t want to wait, so what can I do?”

Zhang Xiaoli: “Sir, he is a ride-hailing driver, and his driver’s license has been temporarily detained by the traffic police brigade because of this incident. The traffic police brigade only needs you to issue a statement to prove that he did run three red lights to take you to the hospital to save your child, and the points can be cleared. It should be your duty, so why do you keep refusing? You have to understand that if he hadn’t seen your child’s face burning purple with a high fever, he wouldn’t have run three red lights to race against time to get you to the hospital. Therefore, you have the responsibility and obligation to help him testify to clear those three violations. Sir, don’t you think so?”

Male passenger: “I asked the traffic police brigade, and they said that there is no necessary connection between him running the red light and sending us to the hospital. So, I have no obligation to give false testimony. I’m really convinced by you reporters. It’s better to report on gutter oil [illegally recycled cooking oil] and unfinished buildings than this.”

After speaking, the male passenger hung up the phone.

Zhang Xiaoli was stunned for a moment and found that she had been blacklisted as soon as she called.

There was no other way; the program could only be produced as is, hoping that the news broadcast and video upload could force this stubborn child’s father to show up.

With his driver’s license temporarily detained, Yang Chen had no choice but to take a taxi home to rest.

At six o’clock in the evening, the life channel broadcasted Yang Chen’s story.

At the same time, the Douyin program “Xiaoli is Here to Help” was updated simultaneously.

As the ace program of Haicheng Life Channel, “Xiaoli is Here to Help” also has more than 5 million fans online.

Mainly, everyone

Everyone likes to watch the stories in this program that challenge people’s values.

Soon, netizens finished watching the three episodes.

Every netizen who watched it felt their blood rush to their heads and almost couldn’t catch their breath.

A large number of netizens began to forward and comment.

“Damn! The last time the woman had twins with two fathers was shocking enough, but I didn’t expect another shocking story today. The driver ran a red light to take them to the hospital, and they only need to provide a certificate to cancel the penalty. How can they do such an inhumane thing?”

“After watching the video, I really want to beat the child’s father to the ground. How can the child be good with such a sand sculpture [idiot] as a father?”

“Let’s just say, can the traffic police brigade be more humane when handling the case? Since there is surveillance to prove it, why do they need that oddball to provide proof? The situation is special now, they should handle it specially; there is no need to embarrass the driver.”

“This driver looks a bit familiar. Isn’t he the one who did what was right last time? It’s so miserable. It hasn’t been a few days since he encountered such a cheating passenger.”

“I just want to ask a professional lawyer, does his behavior constitute a violation of the law? He clearly did it to save his child, but he said it had nothing to do with him and made various excuses to slander him for harassment.”

“If this strange man is not cyberbullied, then it is the responsibility of our generation of netizens.”

…

The public opinion became more and more intense, and soon the family of three’s relatives and friends, as well as people who knew them, knew about it.

This scared the couple, and the family quickly sat down to discuss countermeasures.

…

At this time, Yang Chen received the equity transfer letter from Zhang Sanfeng Law Firm, etc.

Zhang Sanfeng Law Firm has only three shareholders.

Before Yang Chen, they were Zhang Xiang, Li San, and Chen Feng.

Zhang Xiang is the major shareholder, holding 39% of the shares, the second shareholder Li San holds 31%, and the third shareholder Chen Feng holds 30% of the shares.

Chen Feng is old, and his children have gone abroad. He also wants to go there to enjoy his old age, so he wants to sell his shares, which happened to be bought by the system and given to Yang Chen.

This law firm is very powerful. They mainly take on cases that seem impossible to succeed, and the success rate is as high as 99%.

The worst record in the past five years was to defend a prisoner who was sentenced to death in the first instance to life imprisonment.

Therefore, this firm is very famous in the industry, and even some people outside the circle know about it.

However, people’s evaluations of it are mixed.

The spirit of the law is that no matter how heinous a person is, they can hire a lawyer to defend themselves. This is a right granted to citizens by law.

As a lawyer, it is their duty to do their best to win a favorable sentence for their clients.

Because the firm’s lawyers are too powerful, some people who have really committed crimes have been given lighter sentences or even exempted from punishment because of their defense.

Therefore, many people hate this firm.

However, they are lawyers and do things within the scope permitted by law. If they can help criminal suspects escape punishment, that is their ability.

From a legal point of view, they have not made any mistakes and should even be commended.

It’s just that from a moral point of view, they are indeed a bit unreasonable.

Because of these glorious achievements, the founder and major shareholder Zhang Xiang is even more highly praised by netizens.

Several stories about Zhang Xiang are circulating online.

First, when Zhang Xiang was studying for his doctorate, he was eating in the cafeteria. Because the aunt [cafeteria worker] gave him less food, the company that contracted the cafeteria was fined hundreds of thousands of dollars by him.

Second, a girl was raped. As her lawyer, Zhang Xiang sent the rapist and his lawyer to prison in a fit of anger.

There is also a saying circulating online that you must lower your head and avoid seeing Zhang Xiang, because if you look at him more, you may be sent to prison by him.

These words are a bit of a joke, but they all express one meaning: Zhang Xiang and his firm colleagues are really powerful.

As a major shareholder, Zhang Xiang must want to know about the new shareholder.

So, he called Yang Chen.

Knowing that Yang Chen was just a ride-hailing driver, Zhang Xiang felt relieved.

Because he felt that a ride-hailing driver would not have too much ambition or ability, and Yang Chen bought the equity in Chen Feng’s hands just for investment.

Yang Chen asked with a smile: “Lawyer Zhang, I have a case here. I wonder if you can analyze it for me?”

Zhang Xiang replied with a smile: “Mr. Yang, please speak.”

Yang Chen told him the story of being fined 18 points for running a red light.

Zhang Xiang was shocked and said: “Oh, it’s you! Haha… I’ve read your story, and my colleagues in the firm are still discussing this case. So, what does Mr. Yang want to do? Seriously, let him be detained for half a month, apologize to you in person, and solve the violation problem. I’m still confident in that.”

As expected of a great lawyer who is feared by just a glance, he speaks with confidence.

Yang Chen had been holding back his anger for the past two days, so of course, he wanted to make it as serious as possible.

Zhang Xiang immediately agreed, and this case was regarded as a gift from the firm to welcome Yang Chen as a new shareholder.

…

After the matter fermented for a day, the male passenger finally couldn’t bear the pressure and called Yang Chen to reconcile.

He is willing to immediately go to the traffic police brigade to testify to help Yang Chen clear the three violations.

Now everyone in the company knows about this, and the boss fired him directly because he was worried that he would affect the company’s reputation.

The residents of the community also looked at their family with strange eyes and specially reminded their children not to play with their son.

Even their elderly parents were pointed at when they went out, and no one took the old couple to play square dancing [a popular form of exercise for older adults in China].

It can be said that this couple knows how serious the consequences of being unkind are.

However, he couldn’t be reasoned with before, which made Yang Chen have to show his face on TV to force him to come forward. How could he just let it go because he said he was willing to testify?

Yang Chen replied with a smile: “Thank you for your kindness, but I don’t need you to testify for me now. I have entrusted Zhang Sanfeng Law Firm to sue you for inaction and fabricating excuses to slander my personality and reputation. Let’s wait for the court to hear the case.”

When the male passenger heard about Zhang Sanfeng Law Firm, he was immediately frightened.

He often goes online, so of course, he knows the strength of Zhang Sanfeng Law Firm and also knows the terrifying Zhang Xiang.

“Brother, you don’t have to be so cruel, do you? I admit it was my fault,

But you don’t have to send me in. My child is still young, and I am the only one working in the family. If I am sent in, my family will be finished. Brother, please, please. You can’t just watch my family starve to death, can you? Brother, what do you think?” The male passenger pleaded.

This kind of person is so annoying.

When you reason with him, he acts like a rogue.

When you act like a rogue with him, he cries and reasons with you.

Damn it!

Zhang Xiang said that he could detain him for a few days, but he wouldn’t really send him to jail.

So, Yang Chen replied: “Sorry, I have no morals; don’t try to morally kidnap me. Wait for the news; talk to Zhang Xiang if you have anything to say. He is my lawyer now and can fully represent me in handling matters between us.”

The male passenger cried anxiously and said: “Brother, I… I know it was my fault. You can run three red lights to take us to the hospital, which shows that you are a good person. You let Zhang Xiang talk to me; wouldn’t he send me in? If you let him be your lawyer, then I have to start with at least a year.”

Damn it, Yang Chen was almost amused by him.

It seems that Zhang Xiang is very strong; look at how scared this guy is.

Now it was his turn to be anxious; Yang Chen hung up the phone directly and blacklisted him.

What goes around comes around; now let him experience what it feels like to be anxious.

The male passenger was so frightened that he hugged his head and cried.

The family next to him quickly asked him what was going on when they saw it.

The male passenger said aggrievedly: “He… he is too cruel; he hired Zhang Xiang as a lawyer to sue me. Who is that Zhang Xiang? He can send the other party and the lawyer to prison when he gets angry. If he talks to me, then I have to start with at least a year.”

Mother: “Oh, what should I do? I said to give people a certificate; it doesn’t take much effort, but you just don’t want to. Now it’s all right! If you really go in, what will our family do?”

Father: “Good, very good; it’s best to send you in for a year and a half so that you can remember it for the rest of your life. People ran three red lights to save Xiaojun and asked you to give a certificate to clear the violations. Isn’t this what you should do? Even if they don’t mention it, you have to take the initiative to go. Well, you just don’t want to go no matter how much you say. Now it’s all right; you don’t have to go, just wait to go to jail.”

Wife: “Wuwu… We just don’t want to run so far; it’s not that we really don’t want to give him a certificate. He drove to pick us up, so can we not go?”

Father: “It’s you who are giving blind commands; otherwise, why wouldn’t he go? People have been deducted 18 points; how can they drive to pick you up? Still that sentence, people ran the red light to save Xiaojun; even if they don’t say it, you should take the initiative to testify. Don’t you understand this principle? You are still quibbling at this time; the family will be unlucky for three generations to have a daughter-in-law like you!”

Mother: “Oh, what’s the use of saying this now? Let’s hurry up and remedy it.”

At the critical moment, the old man was more calm and formulated a remedy for his son and daughter-in-law.

“You two go to the traffic police brigade now

To testify for him and cancel the violation penalty. Then go to the police station to surrender and apologize, and ask them to help contact the platform, and then contact the driver through the platform. You sit down and have a good talk. Apologize and compensate as you should, and strive for his forgiveness. Do you understand?”

…

At this time, Yang Chen was teaching Yu Shishi how to swim in the pool.

“Your hands should pull the water to both sides or behind, and your feet should keep fluttering so that your body can float on the water…”

Yang Chen explained while teaching hand in hand.

After teaching for a while, the two went ashore and lay on the lounge chairs under the umbrella, enjoying this rare free time while drinking red wine.

After a while, Yu Shishi took a bottle of sunscreen from the side and handed it to Yang Chen, and said a little embarrassedly: “Sir, can I ask you for a favor?”

This scene has only been seen in movies, and it was the first time Yang Chen encountered it in reality.

“Yes. My technique is relatively unfamiliar; please forgive me for any inadequate service,” Yang Chen joked.

Yu Shishi covered her mouth and chuckled, pouting her mouth and said: “You’re so glib. Come on, just rub it evenly. Oh, yes, all the exposed areas should be rubbed.”

After speaking, Yu Shishi lay down.

Lying down with her 170cm [approximately 5’7″] height and wearing a swimsuit, her legs looked particularly long.

Yang Chen rubbed his hands, poured some sunscreen on his hands, spread it evenly, and then put it on Yu Shishi’s stomach.

So slippery…

Just as Yang Chen was about to start rubbing, the phone next to him rang.

“Damn it, ruining people’s good deeds, may you have a son without an asshole,” Yang Chen cursed inwardly.

Yu Shishi quickly got up to pick up the phone, answered the notification, and put it to Yang Chen’s ear.

This call was from Li Changqi, the CEO of Bibi platform, inviting Yang Chen to the headquarters to meet and chat with the couple.

Yang Chen insisted on his principles; since he decided to let Zhang Xiang handle it, he would definitely do what he said.

After Yang Chen firmly refused, he immediately signaled Yu Shishi to hang up the phone.

“Turn it off!” Yang Chen ordered.

Yu Shishi nodded, turned off the phone and put it aside, then lay down and continued to enjoy Yang Chen’s gentle service.

Yu Shishi’s figure is really amazing; her abdomen is flat and smooth, and her legs are slender. If she didn’t go for the cute style and changed to the goddess style, she would definitely be a heartthrob.

However, rubbing oil on people is not a good job. It was quite exciting at first, but it became boring after a while.

After wiping it off, Yang Chen lay down to rest.

Yu Shishi got up and said with a smile: “Now it’s my turn to rub it for you.”

Rubbing oil on others is not a good job, but it’s different when others rub oil on you.

Yang Chen spread his legs and accepted Yu Shishi’s intimate service.

Yu Shishi’s face became more and more red; Yang Chen quickly asked: “Are you having heatstroke? Why is your face so red?”

Yu Shishi’s face turned even redder when Yang Chen asked this.

She whispered back: “I… this is the first time I’ve been so close to a boy; I feel a little embarrassed. Sir, can you close your eyes and not look at me? The more you look at me, the more I feel hot and uneasy.”

She is still a pure girl, so good.

Yang Chen smiled and closed his eyes, enjoying Yu Shishi’s intimate service.

Seeing that it was almost noon, the two packed up their things and went back to the house.

Yu

Shishi changed her clothes to cook, and Yang Chen turned on his phone.

The traffic police brigade had called several times, and Yang Chen quickly called back.

Yang Chen: “Hello, this is Yang Chen.”

Traffic police: “Yang Chen, your violation has been canceled; come and get your driver’s license before 4:30 this afternoon. Remember to take a taxi here; don’t drive here, otherwise, you will be punished for driving without a license.”

Yang Chen: “Okay. I’ll have my secretary drive me over to get it.”

Traffic police: “Okay… ah? Secretary?”

Yang Chen: “Ah, yes.”

Traffic police: “No, brother, aren’t you a ride-hailing driver? Do you have to hire a secretary to serve you when you drive a ride-hailing car?”

Yang Chen: “Can’t I?”

Traffic police: “It’s okay; it’s just a bit beyond my cognitive range. Then let your secretary drive you here this afternoon. Is driving a ride-hailing car so profitable now? You can even hire a secretary; I’ll go find out about it another day.”

This traffic police brother is also confused. It is indeed a bit beyond the cognitive range of ordinary people for a ride-hailing driver to have a secretary.

After a while, Zhang Xiang called Yang Chen.

Zhang Xiang: “Mr. Yang, it’s done. The police have detained that guy on charges of provoking trouble and damaging other people’s reputation.”

Yang Chen: “Did he scold me?”

Zhang Xiang: “How dare he! How dare he scold you in front of me; then he really wants to go in. He also thanked me for being merciful. Administrative detention for 5 days, no criminal record, is a lesson for him. Is Mr. Yang satisfied with this result?”

Yang Chen: “Haha… It’s okay; I finally got a sigh of relief. You don’t know how angry I was yesterday; I almost shouted it out in the hospital.”

Zhang Xiang: “Haha… Are you comfortable now? If you have any legal problems in the future, just give me a call.”

Yang Chen: “Don’t mention it; I really have a case that I want you to do. Just charge according to the market price.”

Zhang Xiang: “Haha… Mr. Yang is joking; you are one of the three shareholders of our firm; how can we charge for cases that are not particularly complicated? Tell me, what case is it?”

Yang Chen told Zhang Xiang about Li Changhong sending people to force Li Qinqin to renew her contract and causing Li Qinqin to fall down the stairs and break her leg.

The matter of the female anchor selling fake goods was handled by the Louis Weis legal department, so Yang Chen did not interfere.

Now he wants to uphold justice for Li Qinqin.

Zhang Xiang immediately said: “This is too simple! Which hospital is she in now? I will send someone to find out the situation immediately. If what Mr. Yang said is not too different, the other party will either compensate 200,000 yuan [approximately $28,000 USD] or go to jail for two years. The perpetrator and the mastermind are equally guilty.”

Yang Chen: “Haha… I like to hear Lawyer Zhang say this. Remember, don’t compensate; just let them go to jail. She is in the First People’s Hospital, 706 ward, Li Qinqin.”

Zhang Xiang: “Okay! I’ve written it down; I’ll send someone over later.”

…

This time Li Changhong is going to be happy. Louis Weis sued him for bankruptcy, and Zhang Xiang is going to send him to jail. How dare he be arrogant?
