How A Ride-Hailing Driver Comes To Dominate The World? [EN]: Chapter 127

At 3 PM, Yu Shishi drove Yang Chen to the Traffic Police Brigade.

The traffic police officer was stunned to see that Yang Chen actually brought his female secretary, and she was driving a Rolls-Royce Cullinan.

*Wow, is running a ride-hailing service that profitable? Why even be a traffic cop?*

Every day, they brave the wind and rain and face life-threatening situations with reckless drivers.

*Being a ride-hailing driver is easy and safe, and the key is that you can earn money to hire such a young and beautiful female secretary and even buy a Rolls-Royce.*

Traffic Police Officer: “Bro, you’re doing well. Your secretary drives you here in a Rolls-Royce. Are you sure you’re just a ride-hailing driver?”

Yang Chen nodded and said, “Didn’t you see me escorting that fugitive?”

Traffic Police Officer: “Oh, right, right, I see. I really don’t know what to say. Here’s your license.”

Yang Chen took the license and the non-penalty notice. Under the bewildered gaze of the traffic police officer, he drove away in his Phaeton that had been impounded.

Instead of driving around to pass the time as Yang Chen intended, Yu Shishi drove straight home.

Yang Chen logged into his DiDi [China’s largest ride-hailing platform] driver account and found that the two negative reviews he had just received had been deleted.

In fact, DiDi’s data department can extract the in-car video of each driver.

If there are negative reviews, the data department can extract the video for customer service to view and judge whether it is reasonable and whether it needs to be deleted.

However, if DiDi really did this, it would inevitably increase the workload of employees. DiDi would definitely have to hire more employees to be sufficient, which would increase operating costs.

Therefore, the data department usually doesn’t retrieve the video for customer service to verify whether each driver’s negative reviews are reasonable. They only do the verification work when the driver proactively appeals.

However, Yang Chen is different. He is now a star driver that DiDi is focusing on promoting, representing DiDi’s image, and his negative reviews must be treated with caution.

If customers see that Yang Chen has many negative reviews and a low rating, wouldn’t it be a waste of effort to build his image?

Therefore, CEO Li Changqi ordered Liu Xueqing, who often handles Yang Chen’s negative review appeals, that in the future, when Yang Chen receives negative reviews, he doesn’t need to file an appeal. She can directly ask the data department for video verification, and it must be processed immediately so that other passengers don’t see it.

With this order, Yang Chen no longer needs to deliberately please Liu Xueqing. From now on, handling Yang Chen’s negative reviews has become one of her responsibilities.

So, although the two incidents of catching a fugitive and running a red light caused quite a stir, which was not the situation Yang Chen wanted to see, the result was not bad for Yang Chen, and it did benefit him.

Around 5 PM, Pan Zhudan, the president of Louis Vuitton China, called Yang Chen.

Hilta Belles, the chief designer of the Louis Vuitton Group, led her team to Hai City and is now staying at the Bulgari Hotel.

Pan Zhudan arranged a dinner and wanted to invite Yang Chen to attend so that Hilta Belles could alter his clothes on the spot.

Yang Chen replied, “Okay. Call the store managers of Louis Vuitton and its sub-brands in Hai City, as well as the main executives of the China office. I’ll get to know them all. Oh, right, also call Wang Jiayi from the Misia Bund store.”

Pan Zhudan quickly replied, “Okay, okay. I’ll notify them immediately. See you at the Bulgari Restaurant at 7:30 PM.”

Yang Chen agreed and hung up the phone.

Yang Chen quickly called Yu Shishi again to tell her that he wouldn’t be home for dinner and she didn’t need to cook for him.

After that, Yang Chen continued to take orders.

Around 6 PM, Yang Chen received an order to go to the Pinnacle Apartments.

The passengers who got in the car were two girls dressed very flamboyantly. Because they were wearing heavy makeup, it was hard to tell what they originally looked like, but at first glance, they seemed okay.

Yang Chen has been driving for a while, and he often hears other drivers talk about the Pinnacle Apartments when they’re bragging in the driver group.

In short, the old Pink Salon Street is gone, and they’ve all moved into apartments.

Places like Pinnacle Apartments, Love Apartments, and Expressway Apartments all use suggestive names.

As everyone knows, taxi drivers and ride-hailing drivers are the most knowledgeable people in the city.

They basically know where to get cheap baths and massages and where the vegetarian dishes are priced like meat.

Since they all earn hard-earned money, Yang Chen can’t discriminate against them, and he still has to take the orders.

Of course, not every woman who lives here is necessarily engaged in that kind of profession.

Therefore, Yang Chen still treats these two passengers with a normal attitude.

The two women chatted on WeChat [Chinese messaging app] in the back seat for a while, and then they looked at each other and smiled contentedly.

It seemed like they had agreed on a customer; otherwise, they wouldn’t have that expression.

The two seemed restless and started flirting with Yang Chen, seeing that he was quite handsome.

Red Dress Girl: “Handsome, you look familiar. Have I been in your car before?”

White Dress Girl: “Enough! You say you’ve seen every handsome guy. Why don’t you say you’ve slept with them?”

Red Dress Girl: “Hehe… that’s hard to say. Handsome, add me on WeChat; remember to look for me if you need to go out and have fun.”

Although Yang Chen doesn’t discriminate against them for earning hard-earned money, it doesn’t mean he can accept them teasing him.

“No, thanks. I’m busy driving every day and don’t have time to go out and have fun,” Yang Chen replied expressionlessly.

Red Dress Girl: “Oh, come on, add me. If you meet customers who need someone to hang out with, you can introduce them to me. Come on, come on, add me.”

Yang Chen still shook his head and refused.

The two women were unhappy and showed disdainful expressions, then continued playing with their phones.

More than ten minutes later, the car stopped downstairs at the Pinnacle Apartments.

Because he was annoyed by these two women, Yang Chen didn’t remind them to remember to take their belongings.

After they got out of the car and walked to the entrance of the apartment, Yang Chen looked back and saw a phone in the back seat.

Yang Chen quickly shouted, “Hey, miss, your phone!”

“Get lost! You didn’t want to add me earlier, and now you want my phone! Get out of here!” the Red Dress Girl cursed.

Then, the two quickly walked into the apartment.

“It’s your phone!” Yang Chen shouted.

But they didn’t come back.

Yang Chen quickly parked the car, took the phone, and chased after them.

As soon as he walked into the apartment door, Yang Chen was at a loss.

There was an elevator and a staircase on each side, and a total of 20 floors. Where should he send it?

*Forget it, he should just send it to the police station.*

Yang Chen turned around and went back to the car, following the navigation to find the nearby police station.

When he arrived at the entrance of the police station, the woman’s phone rang.

The caller ID was Xiaoyun. The two women were chatting in the car, and the Red Dress Girl called the White Dress Girl Xiaoyun.

Yang Chen quickly answered the phone.

The Red Dress Girl’s voice immediately came from the phone.

Red Dress Girl: “Hello, driver, did I leave my phone in your car?”

Yang Chen: “Yes! It’s in my car.”

Red Dress Girl: “Then why didn’t you say so?”

Yang Chen: “I shouted ‘phone, phone,’ but you still ran away.”

Red Dress Girl: “Ah? I thought you wanted my phone number. I have a friend coming over later and can’t go out for the time being. Can you please send it to room 1204 now?”

Yang Chen: “I’m afraid not. I’m a bit far from you now, and I’m in a hurry to go to a banquet. I don’t have time to send it back to you.”

Red Dress Girl: “No, my phone fell in your car; shouldn’t you send it back to me quickly?”

Yang Chen: “I did want to send it up to you just now, but I didn’t know where to go when I got inside. I’ve already arrived at the police station. I’ll send the phone in, and you can come and get it yourself. ”

Red Dress Girl: “No! You have to send it back to me, or I’ll complain about you!”

Yang Chen: “Then complain. I’m getting off work, and sending it to the police station is the safest way to handle it.”

Red Dress Girl: “Okay, you wait, I will definitely complain about you!”

Yang Chen hung up the phone directly.

Sending found items to the police station is the most reasonable way to handle it, and Yang Chen’s choice was correct.

Yang Chen got out of the car with the phone.

At this moment, the phone rang again.

The caller ID was “Husband.”

*Could it be that she wants her husband to come and get it?*

So, Yang Chen swiped the phone to answer.

The man asked angrily, “Hello, where are you?”

Yang Chen quickly replied, “Hello, I’m at…”

The man immediately interrupted and asked, “Who are you? Why is Xiaohong’s phone with you? Damn, who are you?”

It seemed that he didn’t know his wife’s phone had fallen in Yang Chen’s car, and he wasn’t calling to ask for the phone but to check up on her.

To avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, Yang Chen quickly explained, “Bro, I’m a DiDi driver. Your wife’s phone fell in my car, and I’m about to send it to the police station.”

The man roared, “Go to hell, who are you trying to fool? Why don’t you say you’re a delivery guy? You guys don’t carry people on your backs anymore, do you? I’ve long suspected there was something wrong with her. She goes out every night dressed to the nines, either to go shopping or to her girlfriend’s house. She never stays home for a day. She’s never interested in me, and when I touch her, she says she’s tired, not interested, doesn’t want to do it. Well, it turns out she’s being satisfied outside by you.”

Yang Chen tried to explain, “Bro, calm down, speak properly.”

The man roared again, “Calm down my ass, how can you ask me to calm down? I’m wearing a green hat [being cheated on], and you still want me to speak properly? When can I curse you then? When she brings your child back and asks me to raise it?”

Originally, Yang Chen was annoyed by his cursing, but for some reason, he couldn’t help but laugh.

“Pfft…”

But this laugh broke the man on the other end of the phone.

The man said with a slightly crying voice:

“Do you have any humanity? You slept with my wife, and you’re still laughing at me? Damn, come out for a one-on-one fight. Only one of us can live today, and whoever chickens out wasn’t born from their mother and father.”

Yang Chen couldn’t help it and cursed, “Are you done yet? I’m talking to you nicely, and you’re cursing every other word. Yes, I slept with your wife, are you not convinced? What are you going to do about it?”

The man said crying, “You finally admitted it! Tell her, we’re going to get a divorce tomorrow, and whoever regrets it is a dog. She has to leave with nothing, and the child has to be mine.”

*Damn, there’s even a child, then this woman is doing something wrong.*

She already has a child, why isn’t she staying home honestly and fooling around outside?

However, this is not a problem Yang Chen should consider. He is currently annoyed.

Yang Chen delivered a fatal blow to him, loudly replying, “No! She has to take the child away. We can raise our child ourselves; we don’t need you to worry about it.”

The man completely broke down and cried loudly.

“Wah… I knew it, the child doesn’t look like me at all, I’ve long suspected it wasn’t mine. Wah…”

Amidst a burst of manly crying, Yang Chen hung up the phone.

Mysteriously being scolded, Yang Chen was very annoyed.

Quickly getting rid of the trouble of the phone, Yang Chen immediately gave the phone to the police officer in the police station.

Just as he returned to the car, the DiDi customer service called Yang Chen.

Customer Service: “Hello, is this Mr. Yang Chen?”

Yang Chen: “Yes, it is.”

Customer Service: “A passenger just called to say that she left her phone in your car, but you are unwilling to return it to her. Is that so?”

Yang Chen: “I reminded her that her phone had fallen, but she still ran away. Later, I wanted to send it to her, but I didn’t know where she lived. Later, I went to the local police station, and she called me to send it back. It’s about 5 kilometers away; can I go back? I refused and directly left the phone at the police station. I have already notified her, and she can go to the police station to get it herself. If she doesn’t want to go, then I can’t do anything about it.”

Customer Service: “Oh, is that so? Then I understand; I’ll communicate with her again.”

Getting rid of this trouble, Yang Chen quickly drove to the Bulgari Hotel.

Pan Zhudan said the dinner would start at 7:30, but he was delayed by the phone incident, and it was almost 8 PM when Yang Chen arrived.

Yang Chen walked into the large private room, and everyone immediately stood up to greet him.

*The new second shareholder of Louis Vuitton is actually Yang Chen?*

*Oh, or rather, it’s actually the ride-hailing driver Yang Chen she knows?*

Just now, Pan Zhudan and others warned her that she must perform well, and she might be promoted to work in the China office, or she might become a store manager when a branch opens in the future.

However, Wang Jiayi felt that Yang Chen, who could buy so many shares of Louis Vuitton, was definitely not the ride-hailing driver Yang Chen she knew, but it was him!

Yang Chen said with a smile, “Everyone, sorry, I was delayed by something on the road. Please eat first; don’t wait for me.”

Pan Zhudan quickly said, “Mr. Yang, you’re too polite; it’s my fault. I should have told you a day in advance, so you wouldn’t have to rush so much. Come, let me introduce you.

This is Ms. Hilta Belles, the chief designer of the headquarters.”

Yang Chen stepped forward and hugged Hilta Belles, saying, “We’ve met on video calls. Ms. Belles looks even more beautiful than on the phone.”

Hilta Belles laughed and said, “Mr. Yang is also very handsome, with sharp features, as if he was carved out little by little by a great sculptor. You are the most handsome Chinese man I have ever seen.”

Although she is the chief designer, she still has to understand the workplace rules. If she doesn’t flatter the second shareholder, her position as chief designer can be taken away at any time.

Pan Zhudan introduced the others, and finally, it was Wang Jiayi’s turn, an ordinary store employee.

Wang Jiayi said with a smile, “You’re quite amazing; you’ve acquired Louis Vuitton’s shares again. Does the tycoon need someone to warm his bed? I’m very good at it.”

Everyone else was frightened. Is this a topic to talk about with the second-largest shareholder?

*Are you crazy!*

Yang Chen replied with a smile, “We’ll talk about it later. It’s getting late, everyone, please sit down and eat quickly.”

Several women looked at each other; they felt that Yang Chen and Wang Jiayi’s conversation had some implications, but they had no evidence.

Everyone sat down, picked up their cutlery, and unwrapped it. After Yang Chen started eating, the others followed suit.

The main purpose of this dinner was two things.

First, Yang Chen would get to know the store managers of the four stores in Hai City, as well as the executives of Louis Vuitton China.

Second, let Hilta Belles alter his clothes and show him the work clothes design.

Wang Jiayi looked at Yang Chen, who was surrounded by Hilta Belles and others, with admiration, thinking, “He fulfills all my fantasies about men, but unfortunately, I’m not worthy of him…”

Everything was completed after working until after 10 PM.

The final draft of the work clothes was confirmed, including elements with Chinese characteristics such as the dragon and the Great Wall. In Yang Chen’s opinion, it felt pretty good.

Anyway, the employees are his; it doesn’t matter if they like it, as long as he likes it.

He hasn’t heard of work clothes or school uniforms having to meet the wearer’s aesthetics; it’s all about what the leaders think is good.

Tomorrow, Hilta Belles will go to Chenguang Advertising Company to take everyone’s measurements, and then they will be directly processed at the OEM [Original Equipment Manufacturer] factory in Suzhou, China.

The dinner ended.

The others all made excuses to leave, leaving only Yang Chen and Wang Jiayi.

Wang Jiayi spread her arms and said, “Can I hug you?”

Yang Chen nodded.

Wang Jiayi happily hugged him.

“So, what are we going to do next?” Wang Jiayi asked.

Yang Chen replied, “Do!”

Wang Jiayi was stunned for a moment, then quickly raised her head, looking at Yang Chen with a smile that was not a smile and an anger that was not anger.

Yang Chen said with a smile, “Didn’t you ask what to do?”

“I asked what to do? Not… not do… it?” Wang Jiayi replied shyly.

“Oh, I misunderstood. How embarrassing,” Yang Chen replied with a smile, but it didn’t seem like he was embarrassed.

Wang Jiayi pouted and looked at Yang Chen for a few seconds, then asked again, “Then what do you want to do?”

“Should I answer ‘want’?” Yang Chen replied.

“Don’t just think about it; this kind of thing needs to be done,” Wang Jiayi replied.

Yang Chen immediately took her to the guest room department upstairs and opened a room…

At dawn, when Yang Chen woke up, Wang Jiayi had already left again, and there were three thousand yuan and a note on the bedside table again.

Yang Chen picked up the note and looked at it.

“Not bad, good condition, you haven’t been fooling around lately, sister is very satisfied. Take this three thousand yuan to buy some nutritional supplements, and I’ll look for you again when I get paid next time. Don’t worry, I’ll take the medicine myself.”

*Damn!*

Still playing this trick.

As an older single woman, Wang Jiayi thinks a lot.

By giving Yang Chen this three thousand yuan, she can advance or retreat.

If Yang Chen likes her, they can be together.

If Yang Chen doesn’t like her, she can say that she prostituted Yang Chen for three thousand yuan, and the two are in a business relationship, not involving emotional issues.

Yang Chen picked up his phone and called Pan Zhudan, the president of the China region.

Soon, the call was connected.

Pan Zhudan: “Mr. Yang, so early. What’s the matter?”

Yang Chen: “I want to ask you, is there a new store plan in Hai City recently?”

Pan Zhudan: “Yes! We are preparing to open a Louis Vuitton and Misia connected store next to the Jing’an Sports Center.”

Yang Chen: “Make Wang Jiayi the store manager, or let her be in charge of one of the brands.”

Pan Zhudan is a smart person and quickly replied, “Understood! I will call the Misia Bund store later and transfer Wang Jiayi to the headquarters for store manager training.”

Yang Chen: “Yes. Tell her there is a six-month probationary period. If her performance is not enough to be competent after six months, she will still be her store employee.”

Pan Zhudan: “Okay, okay. I know what to do, Mr. Yang, please rest assured.”

A one-“night” couple has a hundred days of grace, so he has to take care of her a little bit.

Her dream is to stay in this bustling metropolis of Hai City, and Yang Chen is now creating this opportunity for her.

The store manager can earn at least 500,000 yuan a year and can earn more than one million if they do well.

The opportunity is given to her; it depends on her own ability to grasp it.
